She only gets her bib dirty, and that's because some food got on the corners of her mouth and fell into the bib.
Tian Tian was responsible for cleaning up An An, while Gu Zhao was responsible for cleaning up the dining table. After cleaning up, one of them accompanied the child to play with building blocks while the other cleaned the dining table.
When they just got married, they strictly followed the rule that if you cook, then washing the dishes is my job. After they got married, they followed this rule until Tian Tian became pregnant. But then Tian Tian became pregnant, so it was Gu Zhao who washed the dishes and then cooked, and it has not changed until now after the child was born.
The only difference is that unlike before, it is not always Gu Zhao who washes the dishes and cooks. Instead, one person accompanies the child while the other cooks and washes the dishes. For example, today it may be Tian Tian who accompanies the child, so Gu Zhao will take the initiative to cook and wash dishes. Tomorrow it will be Gu Zhao who accompanies the child, so Tian Tian will take the initiative to do so.
Both of them have taken care of children on their own, and they don't think that taking care of children is an easy task. Also, because the child is young, her ability to express herself verbally is not very clear, so they have to guess a lot of the time.
Children have a very unique perspective, which is completely different from that of adults, and it is difficult to guess what they really want.
So accompanying children is really a very hard thing.
Both of them think that doing housework is easier in comparison, especially now that they have a washing machine at home. It is one less task to do and they usually just mop and sweep the floor.
After spending time with the children and An An falling asleep, Tian Tian felt sore all over. She didn't feel it when she was playing with An An, but when she was suddenly alone, all the tiredness came back to her.
Gu Zhao looked at Tian Tian lying on the bed wailing, and reluctantly went over to give Tian Tian a massage. Gu Zhao was very skilled in massage. Tian Tian's tense muscles were about to relax, and she sighed comfortably.
"An An is so clingy now. When she grows up, she will be even more tired!"
An An can't speak yet, and can only utter vague sounds like "Mom". She can't even walk steadily. It's so tiring even though she can't walk at all. If we wait until she can walk, when she is seven or eight years old and is hated by dogs, or nine or ten years old and annoying to people, her life will be even more miserable.
"You're overthinking it. It's only in the next few years. When An An grows up a little, she'll go out and make friends. Then even if you want to play with her, she may not be willing to do so." Gu Zhao said.
Now An An has her own good friends in the nursery. When he went to pick up An An today, he arrived a little early and saw An An reluctantly saying goodbye to her little friend. It was really funny to see two little kids who couldn't even speak or walk reluctant to say goodbye to each other.
"There are many years in between, and it's not like she can grow that big all of a sudden. When she's three or four years old, she'll be full of energy and have a strong desire to explore. It'll be us who will be tired."
"Well, we can share the burden a little bit. Besides, when she reaches that age, she should go to kindergarten. There will be so many people to accompany her. Don't worry, I'm here."
Tian Tian didn't say anything after hearing this. She was still confident that Gu Zhao would educate the child. At least he had never said that he wanted to avoid raising children and had always been with Tian Tian.
So Tian Tian believed what Gu Zhao said now. After Gu Zhao finished massaging Tian Tian, he went to the basin of foot washing water with a few slices of ginger and peppercorns thrown in it. Tian Tian's feet were particularly prone to freezing in winter. After Gu Zhao knew about it, every time he brought Tian Tian foot washing water, he would put some ginger and peppercorns in it to drive away the cold. It was also a folk remedy. Tian Tian didn't know whether it worked or not. Anyway, she paid special attention to it since her feet were frozen once. She would wait until her feet warmed up before putting them in a warm place. Ginger was still very good for the body to drive away the cold, so Tian Tian never said anything.
After soaking her feet, Gu Zhao took the water away and Tian Tian crawled into bed to sleep.
It was still a little cold in the bed, so Gu Zhao filled a hot water bottle and put it inside the bed. Tian Tian hugged the hot water bottle in her arms and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
Tian Tian was on vacation, but she didn't leave An An at home. Instead, she sent An An to the nursery as usual every day.
Normally, the two of them take care of An An together. If Tian Tian were to take care of An An alone, she would be very busy. She didn't want to be so flustered. It would be better to send An An to the nursery so that no one would be delayed.
Tian Tian had rested for less than two days when Tian Zhuo came to her and said he wanted to go home. Tian Tian was very envious when she heard that. She also wanted to go home, but now that she was married, she couldn't be as casual as before.
She had been away from home for a long time, and she was thinking about Gu Zhao. And An An was not just from the old Tian family. When Ge Huiyun was free, she would either come to see him or let Tian Tian take An An home for dinner.
Tian Tian couldn't say that she could deprive Ge Huiyun of the right to visit her granddaughter, but Tian Tian still wanted to go home more.
"When are you planning to leave? I'll buy some things and bring them back to you." Tian Tian said, suppressing her disappointment.
Her salary now is higher than before, not because she got a promotion or something, but because mothers now get sixteen months of vacation, which allows you to stay at home to take care of the baby, and there is also a subsidy for diapers and milk powder every month. However, because diapers and milk powder are still relatively scarce, the money is directly transferred to Tian Tian.
Tian Tian did not stay at home for sixteen months. She basically went back to work after she finished her confinement, so those sixteen holidays became subsidies given to her by the school.
Their school gave all the subsidies for these sixteen months to Tian Tian at one time, so now, even if Tian Tian does not mention the dividends that Li Jiuniang gave her, she is already a small wealthy woman just based on her salary.
"I bought the ticket for the day after tomorrow." Tian Zhuo said.
Tian Tian looked at Tian Zhuo's cotton jacket, which was very messy, with a lot of dust on the back and a clump of hair sticking up. She knew that Tian Zhuo might have slept at the station in the past few days to buy a ticket.
"Take a shower first, then go to the guest room and sleep for a night, and then tomorrow we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things." Tian Tian patted Tian Zhuo on the back and said.
