Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1461-1470

Chapter 1461: Something Was Amiss with the Old Master

At this time, it was almost the end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties.

Aside from the tomboy Zhai Hua, there was only a female, Miao Jing, in the Zhai family. Miao Jing was bullied by Qi Minlan, and she didn’t even have a close friend. Perhaps she was too agitated from Qi Minlan’s bullying that after Old Master Zhai walked out from the sadness of Grandma Zhai’s early passing, Miao Jing handed over her two children for Old Master Zhai to bring up. She stayed by Zhai Yaohui’s side, and as the chief of the army’s wife, she flew around with Zhai Yaohui on business trips.

At that time, outsiders really didn’t perceive the Zhai family to be so glamorous.

Old Master Zhai mentioned this today not to say anything else. It was just that he remembered Grandma Zhai’s crying expression when he got injured. Who would have imagined that Old Master Zhai, who had fought in wars and lived in snowy mountains before, could live to his eighties and watch his three great-grandchildren go to school? However, Grandma Zhai could only see the birth of her two grandchildren.

Old Master Zhai was old. He used to say that men seldom lived to their seventies. Furthermore, Old Master Zhai was already in his eighties. He had really led a long life.

Today, listening to Old Master Zhai mentioning Grandma Zhai’s passing, everyone in the Zhai family felt uneasy.

Old Master Zhai, who had caused the people around him to feel uneasy, didn’t realize this at all. After saying this, he kept his expression. Seeing that everyone was staring at him and not eating, he said, “Why are all of you looking at me? Could it be that I have a flower blooming on my face? I’m old. It’s normal for me to think about the past. Okay, hurry up and eat. If you don’t, the triplets will be too frightened and not eat as well.”

The triplets were still young. Old Master Zhai didn’t feel that they could understand anything. They must have been influenced by the emotions of adults.

Miao Jing looked at Zhai Yaohui worriedly. Old Master Zhai had always been healthy. His mental health was good as well. The problem was his age. After hearing her father-in-law say the words her mother-in-law had said before her passing, she felt cold in her heart, as if it was an ominous sign.

Zhai Yaohui patted the back of Miao Jing’s hand, signaling her not to worry. “What are you looking at? Haven’t you heard what Old Master said? The weather’s hot now. Cold dishes don’t taste as nice as hot ones. Da Bao, eat a little more.” Zhai Yaohui was worried about Old Master Zhai as well. However, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t say anything or ask anything now.

After the meal, Old Master Zhai was the first to return to his room to rest. Qiao Nan took care of the triplets first. After they fell asleep, Qiao Nan went to find Zhai Sheng as she was worried. “Brother Zhai, why do you think the old master mentioned the past when everything’s fine? How about you accompany him tonight?”

With elderly in the family, especially after they had behaved as such, under normal circumstances, the young people at home wouldn’t be able to fall asleep with ease.

“Okay.” Even without Qiao Nan mentioning it, Zhai Sheng had such an intention. The most memories he had when he was young was Old Master Zhai’s back view. When he saw Old Master Zhai looking blissful and sad every time he mentioned Grandma Zhai, Zhai Sheng’s heart became complicated and contradictory.

If it was possible, he didn’t want to be caught in a woman’s hand, like his grandpa. After this woman was gone, his grandpa had almost lost the motivation to continue living. This was simply too scary for Zhai Sheng, who was always calm and rational. It was so scary that he couldn’t imagine the procedure.
