Chapter 1471: Worried
In the sweltering September, Zhai Sheng was wearing a light outfit. Within half a minute, he could clearly feel the area where Qiao Nan buried her face. His clothes on his chest were soaked by Qiao Nan's tears. Qiao Nan cried silently, which made Zhai Sheng feel particularly distressed: "Don't cry, Mom will bring the three babies out soon. If the three babies see us, how will you explain it? At least, we should learn from Mr. Lin and not let the three babies bear so much too early, right?"
Qiao Nan rubbed her face against Zhai Sheng's clothes, her eyes still red: "Go change your clothes." The clothes on Zhai Sheng's chest were wet with tears, making them look particularly dark. Not wanting the three treasures to realize it too early, she certainly couldn't let Zhai Sheng wear this clothes and be seen by the three treasures.
Zhai Sheng poured a cup of warm water for Qiao Nan, and after watching Qiao Nan take it and drink it sip by sip, he went upstairs to change his clothes.
Of course, the three treasures just wiped the sweat off their faces and backs with the help of their father. Their father had changed his clothes: "Dad, have you taken a shower?" Sanbao tilted his head and looked at Zhai Sheng curiously: "So early?"
"Sanbao, the clothes you wore when you came back are not the same as the ones you are wearing now. The clothes Dad wore before were dirty, so he changed into another one. But don't worry, Dad can wash the clothes he takes off himself." Zhai Sheng pinched his daughter's nose, and he could see through her thoughts.
His three children were typical of those who allowed officials to set fires but did not allow common people to light lamps. If their clothes got dirty, they could ask Nan Nan to wash them, but if his clothes got dirty, he had to fend for himself and could not let Nan Nan work too hard.
"Hmph." Her wish was not fulfilled, and Miss Sanbao snorted: "I'm hungry, I want to eat, Grandma, Mom, I'm hungry!" Dad hated her the most. Every time he teased her, she would tease him back. Dad had never been fooled by her.
The girl changed the subject as soon as she was unhappy. Miao Liang came over with a smile, took her granddaughter's hand, asked her to sit next to her, and picked food for the girl. Compared with Dabao, who was smart and hard to fool, Miao Liang naturally preferred to take care of the girl with her soft and cute granddaughter.
Erbao and Sanbao behaved quite normally, but Qiao Nan and Dabao seemed much quieter.
Zhai Yaohui glanced at Liesheng, who shook his head, indicating that now was not the best time to talk. If he had anything to ask, he could wait until after dinner.
Therefore, the Zhai family's dinner table tonight seemed quieter than usual, even Erbao and Sanbao stopped playing. When Zhai Yaohui was eating, he would pay special attention to the old man's situation. Zhai Yaohui observed that the amount of rice that the old man Zhai ate today was about the same as usual, and there was no difference, so he felt relieved.
After dinner, Zhai Yaohui asked Zhai Sheng to go into the study to chat, and only then did he know about Mr. Lin’s situation: "No wonder." Zhai Yaohui did hear that there seemed to be some movement in the central government, but it was not in the same group as himself. Zhai Yaohui only knew that such a situation existed and did not investigate it in detail.
Hearing that his son, Mr. Lin, had contracted a terminal illness, Zhai Yaohui understood everything after hearing about it in two days: "Mr. Lin... He Yi is no longer old, and has reached the retirement age stipulated by the state. Nan Nan is not even thirty years old yet, and is in the prime of her youth. It seems that Mr. Lin has made arrangements for Qiao Nan." Having a daughter-in-law who is the Minister of Foreign Affairs is something to be proud of.
Because Zhai Yaohui knew that Qiao Nan's current situation had nothing to do with the Zhai family. Qiao Nan relied on her own efforts and a master like Lin Yuankang.
Who wouldn't welcome a daughter-in-law who not only does not cause trouble to her husband's family but also brings honor to them?
Back then, many people laughed at the Zhai family for being not picky or too arrogant to choose a daughter-in-law who had no power, no money, no influence, and was of no help to the Zhai family at all. Apart from her face, she had no redeeming qualities at all.
Those guys who were blinded by the jokes of Zhai Sheng are probably not only slapped in the face now, but their faces are almost swollen. When Nan Nan really becomes the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, those faces will be so swollen that they can't face people.
"Qiao Nan and Mr. Lin have a very good relationship. Even our three children like and respect this elder very much. If Mr. Lin really is... you think you could stay at home a few more days. At a time like this, what they, mother and children, need is your care. Other comforts will not work." Even if Qiao Dongliang came, I'm afraid Qiao Nan would only cry even more sadly when she saw her biological father.
Just because the person who died this time was an elder who treated her better than her biological parents.
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too." Elder Lin suddenly disappeared. He was not at all confident about leaving Nan Nan alone. If the three children were to be particularly emotional at this time, the family would be in chaos.
The joy of his daughter-in-law becoming the Minister of Foreign Affairs faded away. Zhai Yaohui himself was also a grandfather. Facing such a separation of life and death, Zhai Yaohui naturally thought much more than young people like Zhai Sheng. Because he didn't know when, or when in the future, such a thing would happen to him: "Will Huahua come back this time?"
The Zhai family had a good relationship with Mr. Lin, and Mr. Lin had no other relatives. If Mr. Lin really passed away, Zhai Hua would naturally come back to see him off.
"Tomorrow is the three treasures' birthday. Zhai Hua should be at the Tian family now." Zhai Sheng said with certainty.
Zhai Yaohui nodded: "Okay, let's leave it at that for today. You accompany the old man tonight, and I'll come tomorrow." After all, he is not young anymore. After only sleeping on the floor for one night, all the muscles in his body are stiff.
If it continued for two nights, Zhai Yaohui would be worried that Master Zhai might be in trouble, so he would have to go to a Chinese medicine clinic first and have acupuncture and massage.
"Okay." Zhai Sheng certainly wouldn't refuse. Even if Zhai Yaohui didn't mention it, Zhai Sheng would still mention it: "You should go to bed early this morning." Zhai Sheng could smell the strong smell of medicinal wine on Zhai Yaohui even though he was not very good at it. What's more, Zhai Sheng not only had good eyes and ears, but also a very good sense of smell.
Tonight, Zhai Sheng was keeping vigil for Master Zhai, and Qiao Nan slept alone as usual. She lay alone on the huge bed, watching the bright moonlight shining through the curtains and filling the room with moonlight. Qiao Nan's sorrow was overwhelming.
When Master Zhai's son was in trouble, his son was watching over him, his grandson was accompanying him, and his great-grandson was comforting him. But her master was in poor health, and there was not even a close relative around to ask about his well-being.
