Qiao Nan had long taught the three children this.

Ever since they knew that Qiao Nan had arranged everything in the nursing home, the elders who lived here were very grateful to Qiao Nan. Of course, they were grateful to Qiao Nan not because of her appearance that they no longer needed to be kicked around like balls in the past when they were dependent in their old age. Even if people were old, they similarly had self-esteem. They would feel hurt and cold in their hearts.

What they were really grateful for was that following Qiao Nan’s appearance, they knew that their child’s sacrifice for the country and the people were not forgotten. Even if their child was no longer around, as their parents, they could still rely on them to have a place to live in and receive good care.

To these old people, people’s affirmation and recognition of their sacrificed child was more important than anything else.

They were family members of martyrs, after all. Did the country not care about them at all? No, they naturally cared about them. As such, these elders more or less had some money in their hands. They used to see the ugly faces of their family members in the past. Thus, they’d rather return the money to the country than use the money their child had lost their lives for on these relatives.

It was different now. There were people who acknowledged, remembered, and felt thankful for their child’s sacrifices and contributions. It was also to thank Qiao Nan for everything she did that the old people in the nursing home treated Qiao Nan’s triplets particularly well. They doted on them like they were their biological grandchildren.

How did old people express their love for children? They naturally used the money they had to buy this and that for the children to make them happy.

At this time, if you were to directly reject them, the old people would feel unhappy as they thought that you looked down on him and weren’t willing to use his money. However, to let Qiao Nan agree to her three children accepting these gifts, she couldn’t get through the hurdle in her heart.

Qiao Nan thought of a solution very quickly. She would get the three children to agree first. These old people lived in the nursing home and couldn’t go outside. There was dedicated personnel for purchases. If the elders wanted to buy something, they had to go through these purchasers.

Under the instructions of the big boss, Qiao Nan, the purchasers accepted the old people’s money but didn’t really spend them. After returning empty-handed, they always found excuses on why they didn’t manage to purchase successfully. The tragic thing was that although the elders were older and their brains were no longer as agile, it didn’t mean that they had lost their IQ.

When this happened too many times, everyone guessed that it should be that Qiao Nan didn’t allow it.

After all, in this nursing home, Qiao Nan had the final say.

Without Qiao Nan’s instruction, how would these purchasers dare to make a fool out of these old people? As such, these old people fought a battle of wits and courage with Qiao Nan and actually learned how to use Taobao online!

Damn it…

When the first delivery was received in the nursing home, followed by the second and the third, Qiao Nan was speechless. Weren’t they old people? Weren’t their lives simple? At this age, did they need to be so trendy? Forget it that they learned how to use the Internet but they actually registered an account on Taobao, applied for an Alipay account, successfully bound a bank card, and proceeded with online purchases.

In the face of this situation, Qiao Nan covered her face and expressed that enough was enough…

Indeed, she always wanted to enrich the lives of these elders. This could include playing chess, practicing calligraphy, boxing, or doing square dance. If she had known that these old people were so clever, she wouldn’t have agreed to it when they requested to learn the Internet back then. They had deliberately learned the Internet so that they could go online shopping and buy things for her three children. Qiao Nan really didn’t want to say anything else.

Really, Qiao Nan had her plot, but these old people had their strategy.

After knowing the situation of the nursing home, Zhai Sheng even joked with Qiao Nan. “I feel that the family members of these martyrs would definitely have a low chance of getting a certain illness in the future.”

“What illness?” Qiao Nan didn’t understand. What has this got to do with illness?

“Elders who learn the Internet and know how to do online shopping have agile brains. They have a great IQ as well. It would definitely be more difficult for such elders to suffer from dementia compared to the average old people.” These elders were pretty capable of angering Nan Nan until she was speechless. They were no doubt the parents of soldiers. Such a style had to be affirmed and supported.

Knowing that Zhai Sheng was mocking her, Qiao Nan was furious. She nearly kicked Zhai Sheng off the bed and made him sleep in the study room.

She was already so annoyed over this matter. Zhai Sheng was still watching a good show by the side and gave these playful elders support and affirmation. Really, whose husband was Zhai Sheng?

Faced with Qiao Nan’s doubt, Zhai Sheng used his physical strength to prove to Qiao Nan whose husband he was. Qiao Nan was so angry that she ignored him the next day, let alone say a word to him. The three children, who were already sensible, smiled and surrounded Zhai Sheng when they saw this situation. “Dad, did you make Mom angry?”

“Dad, you’re not obedient. You didn’t listen to Mom’s words.”

“Can San Bao sleep with Mom tonight?”

The three children were like gifts from others. None of them stood on Zhai Sheng’s side. They even took advantage of the chaos and ostracized Zhai Sheng together. The three children looked like they were waiting to watch a good show. San Bao even squeezed out her own father. The idea of the children sleeping with their mother angered Zhai Sheng. He was certain that these three children were gifts from others. If they were his biological children, would they set him up like this?

Without waiting for Zhai Sheng’s answer, San Bao ran to Qiao Nan with her short legs and hugged Qiao Nan’s thigh. “Mom, San Bao wants to sleep with you tonight. San Bao wants to hear Mom tell stories, alongside Da Bao and Er Bao.”

“Alright.” Qiao Nan agreed without thinking, let alone look at Zhai Sheng’s blackened face. Qiao Nan carried her daughter and gave her a kiss on the face. “Which pajamas does San Bao want to wear tonight? The one with a cat or the one with a princess?”

“San Bao wants a cat.”

“Mom, I’ll choose it by myself.”

“Me too, me too.”

Their younger sister had already taken the lead. As Da Bao and Er Bao had similar thoughts, they stood in line quickly and supported their sister. The three children worked hard together to finalize the ownership of their mom tonight. If they didn’t use this opportunity to do so now, they didn’t know when the next time they could sleep together with her would be.

Upon thinking about this, the steady Da Bao couldn’t help but feel vexed.

Dad had a mom as well. If Dad wanted someone to sleep with him, why didn’t he find Grandma? Why did he always have to snatch their mom from them? Grandma had said that the three of them were still young.. Their dad should respect the old and love the young and give in to them.
