Chapter 2399: Keeping One’s Promise (1)
This was quite a big project. If they really started this, their family didn’t need to worry for a few years that Nan Nan would feel bored and relaxed as the three children were in school. It was good to be kept busy.
“Okay.” Qiao Nan had zero experience in this matter. She could find Zhai Sheng to discuss further so that she could make a decision. With Zhai Sheng’s support and affirmation, Qiao Nan would be able to move forward boldly and confidently.
Sure enough, as Zhai Sheng expected, once this matter started, it wasn’t easy to stop. There were also a lot of things to be busy with. The fast montum nearly made Qiao Nan overwheld.
Initially, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing felt that by sending the three children to school so early, their ti with them would be greatly reduced and they were a little uncomfortable and unhappy in their hearts. However, after Qiao Nan had her own things to be busy with, these two elders beca happy.
Why?
If Qiao Nan was busy, she naturally wouldn’t have the ti to take care of the triplets. Soone had to fetch the children ho. As such, Qiao Nan wouldn’t fight with them for this task, right? Aside from sending them to school and fetching them ho, there was another thing that was very important. Once Qiao Nan beca busy, she couldn’t let go of things halfway. Especially at the start, Qiao Nan needed to invest more ti and energy.
Unless everything was on track, Qiao Nan couldn’t relax and spend more ti taking care of the three children.
One had to know that the first step was always the hardest.
Qiao Nan had no ti to take care of the three children. Without a doubt, the burden of taking of the children naturally fell to the grandparents, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing, again. They were very happy that they could spend more ti with them. Although it was tiring to take care of children, the psychological satisfaction gained far exceeded the physical fatigue.
Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had such thoughts. Based on their age, a day taking care of the triplets was a day gained. While they could still move and bring the children along with them, they must take care of them more and spend more ti with them.
Otherwise, when they could no longer move, had no more strength, and even needed soone else to take care of them while they were sick at ho, they would only be weak and full of regrets that they could no longer do anything for their grandchildren.
After having such thoughts, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing lived each day seriously and with great care. They cherished the diminishing tis they had with the children.
Thankfully, the three children were good-tempered. After going to school for a while, they gradually began accustod to the fact that aside from their parents, there were still a lot of other people who were in the world they lived in, for example, the teachers and children in school.
Since the three children could adapt to school life, Qiao Nan naturally didn’t take care of them like in the past when she beca busy. Their grandparents were by their side. Within a few days, the children stopped throwing tantrums and adapted to the situation like how they adapted to school life.
Furthermore, Qiao Nan only spent lesser ti taking care of the children. It wasn’t that she didn’t take care of them at all. One had to know that Qiao Nan was the person who forked out the money. She was the big boss. At the beginning, a lot of things had to be discussed with Qiao Nan and were confird only after she gave the approval. Otherwise, Qiao Nan would have spent so money and hired a talent to resolve trivial matters.
When the boss had nothing else, it could be considered that these were better tis. She forked out money while others forked out effort. As such, Qiao Nan’s tasks were relatively fewer. She could work less and be more relaxed.
Qiao Nan just didn’t want to waste the ti when the three children were in school. No matter what age or gender one was, aside from children, life would always be better if one had more things to do. There must be a balance between family, children, and career.
Yes, Qiao Nan felt that children should be separated from this concept of family. A person who valued children might not value other family mbers. However, in a family, there were still other roles besides children and mother. Qiao Nan wanted to value and take care of these family mbers as well.
There must be a balance between the three. If the balance was destroyed, life would naturally beco miserable and no longer be as satisfactory as before.
It was more difficult. However, if she didn’t try, how would she know that she couldn’t balance the three well? Furthermore, her ultimate goal was to make her free ti more aningful. Also, she should fulfill her original promise and do what she said.
Even if it wasn’t for herself but for all of the Zhu family who had passed away, Qiao Nan felt that it was necessary for her to do so. After doing this, she wouldn’t claim all credit. She hoped that there would still be people who rembered that the Zhu family had contributed to the country and people. Even if the Zhu family wasn’t around now, the Zhu family’s affection for the country and people were still around. This was what influenced her to make such a decision and plan.
Qiao Nan was purely doing good deeds. She wasn’t trying to show off her reputation, manipulate public opinion, or endorse the Zhai family. She was proceeding with everything silently without anyone knowing about it.
The early planning and preparation work took almost half a year. This public welfare was officially launched half a year later, which was when the children were two years old. The initiative was implented on the target audience that Qiao Nan selected.
“Grandpa, drink water.”
Not only did Qiao Nan invest money, but she also devoted herself to this public welfare. Out of the elders selected by her, so of them still had family mbers who could still take care of them. At this mont, most of Qiao Nan’s investnt went to material resources while a small amount went to financial subsidies to improve their quality of life.
There were also so elders who had no children and their relatives weren’t willing to take care of them. They were naturally taken in by nursing hos. Seeing that there were quite a number of elders who fell under this category, Qiao Nan’s heart turned cold. She also felt heartache over these elders and their sacrificed sons.
Qiao Nan brought the three children to the nursing ho to do volunteer work one weekend. Qiao Nan wasn’t planning on counting the three children to do much. She would still be doing most of the work herself. She just wanted the three children to experience this and learn a concept from a young age. However, this couldn’t hold back the children’s passion to learn from their mom. They also couldn’t stay still.
They were just walking a little more steadily themselves. However, they insisted on pouring water for the grandpas and grandmas in the nursing ho. Seeing a half-full glass of water in the three chubby children’s hands, the elders felt both heartwarming and heartache.
