Chapter 1253 - The Overbearing San Bao

Chapter 1253 The Overbearing San Bao Miao Jing wiped the corners of her eyes and patted Da Bao on his head.
Da Bao, this is grandpa.
Old Zhai spent as much time at home as his son. To the triplets, Zhai Sheng was a stranger, so was Old Zhai.
Come, San Bao. Let me carry you.
Old Master Zhai, who had had his porridge, wiped his mouth, looking energetic and feeling very proud of himself. He clapped his hands at San Bao.

San Bao widened her mouth. Under the auntie’s help, she ran toward Old Master Zhai with her two short legs and was carried into Old Master Zhai’s arms.
San Bao did not fidget in Old Master Zhai’s embrace. Instead, she shifted her bottom to find a comfortable position in his embrace. When she finally settled down, there was a satisfied smile on her face. She drew her small fingers on the table, telling Old Master Zhai that she wanted to eat as well.
Old Master Zhai looked toward Zhai Yaohui as if showing off to him that he was better with kids. He lifted his chin as he sourced for food for San Bao.
The triplets had their milk after they woke up and they felt slightly hungry now. Old Master Zhai knew the food that the triplets preferred. He might be old and brusque, but he waited on his great-granddaughter very well.
Babies were innocent and they would not hide their feelings or emotions.
San Bao found a comfortable position in Old Master Zhai’s embrace and was satisfied with the food that he gave her. San Bao kept chewing on the food, while she swung her two short legs about.

One could tell from her movement that San Bao loved it when her great-grandpa fed her.
Apart from the great-grandpa, there was another grandpa that doted on her and liked to carry her in his arms.
Compared to San Bao, who was eating happily in Old Master Zhai’s embrace, Zhai Yaohui had no chance to feed his only granddaughter, while his grandsons would rather be fed by the auntie than to look at their grandpa.
Old Master Zhai was a father and a grandfather. He had many experiences with children.
Although he was not as skillful as the auntie, he was better than many other men.

It was different for Zhai Yaohui. He did not really take care of his daughter and son when they were at a young age. Now that he had grandchildren, he had no experience in child-rearing and he did not know what he should do to make them happy.
Children who were intelligent and liked to smile instead of cry were well-liked by everyone.
When they were still infants, he could tell that the triplets were smart and quick-witted. Now that they were turning one year old, one could tell very clearly that they were intelligent and witty. He had made the right guess last year.
Everyone could not hide their love for the triplets when they saw them. As their grandpa, Zhai Yaohui loved them more than anyone.
Seeing that the old master carried the Zhai family’s only girl in his arms and was able to keep her happy, Zhai Yaohui could not help but rest his gaze on the two active and bubbly grandsons.
It was the beginning of autumn. It was especially hot. Da Bao and Er Bao did not wear many clothes. Zhai Yaohui sized them up and deduced that they were very strong and healthy.
In that case, Da Bao and Er Bao should not be as delicate as San Bao. They should be able to take some teasing.
Zhai Yaohui, who had no experience with children, wanted to be closer to the triplets, but he was worried that he would give them a fright. He would panic if they broke out in tears.
His wife held Er Bao in her arms, which left him with his eldest grandson.
Zhai Yaohui put down the bowl in his hands and walked to stand in front of Da Bao silently. He did not talk to Da Bao but put his arms under his armpit and carried him into his arms. He walked to the dining table and sat down, placing Da Bao on his lap.
Da Bao, what do you want to eat? Grandpa will feed you.

Da Bao blinked and looked at the breakfast on the table and at his younger brother who was in grandma’s arms. He then turned to look at the ‘stranger’ who held him in his arms. Da Bao was tactful. He pointed at the food that he liked.
Zhai Yaohui perked up. His grandson was indeed sensible.
The reason why San Bao was so comfortable with the old master was not that the latter was good at coaxing babies. It was that the triplets were good-tempered and they did not need the adults to coax them.
This was the first time that he did something for the triplets as their grandfather. Zhai Yaohui, who was always calm and composed, could not help but feel excited.
Da Bao and I like the same food.
Zhai Yaohui tried to bridge the gap between his grandson and him by saying that they had the same tastes.
His grandson would turn one year old in a few days. Zhai Yaohui felt that his grandson would be able to understand what he was saying.
Zhai Yaohui put the plate of food in front of Da Bao and fed him bit by bit. Da Bao behaved like the newborn young chicks. He opened his mouth and waited for Zhai Yaohui to feed him. He would eat whatever that Zhai Yaohui gave him.
His cheeks bulged as his mouth was filled with food. He chewed on the food like a squirrel. Although Zhai Yaohui was a man and knew nothing about babies and their cute behaviors, he could not help but sigh at the way his grandson behaved. He was handsome and smart.
Zhai Yaohui reached out his hands to touch his grandson’s soft hair. It felt good to the touch. It was so soft and fine that Zhai Yaohui had a false impression that all babies would have such fine and soft hair. Perhaps this was why people liked to have pets nowadays.
Miao Jing was quite surprised when Da Bao sat on Zhai Yaohui’s laps. Miao Jing never dreamed that she would see this side of Zhai Yaohui in her entire life. She was relieved that Zhai Yaohui could help take care of the eldest grandson so that she could focus on feeding Er Bao.
San Bao behaved exactly like Hua Hua when she was at a young age. Although she was young, she had a bad temper, and she was overbearing.
Unless Qiao Nan was around, nobody was able to control San Bao.
Take for instance now that they were having breakfast, the triplets were hungry, but there might not be three adults around to take care of them at the same time.
If there were not enough adults at home, Miao Jing’s plan was to feed one before she moved on to the next baby. But San Bao would spoil her plan.
San Bao could not go hungry. If she was hungry and she was not fed right away, she would cry her eyes out.
In order to stop her from crying, she had to feed San Bao first. There was no room for negotiation.
