Chapter 287 You'd better watch out, your grandparents will punish you!
Huo Tingzhou rubbed his temples, clearly feeling helpless about the situation.
"As soon as it was light in the morning, the two little ones started clamoring to go out, so their grandparents took them out to see the snow."
Perhaps because they had never seen snow before, the two little ones were fine with everything else.
The moment I see snowflakes, my eyes seem to freeze.
As it turns out, Beijing has experienced several heavy snowfalls in the past few days.
The two little ones now babble and want to go outside as soon as they open their eyes.
If I told you, no one would believe me.
They are only four months old, but they already know how to read people's expressions and act accordingly.
He was very obedient in front of Huo Tingzhou, but once he was in the hands of other people, he was simply lawless.
"That won't do."
Jiang Si frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Grandpa and Grandma are getting old, and the two little ones are at a very active and energetic age."
"They had a lot of fun, but their grandparents were out for most of the day. Their bodies couldn't take it."
Huo Tingzhou understood the reasoning; that was what he had said to the old man and the others that morning.
I've said everything I could, but the old man won't listen at all.
Grandparents already spoil their grandchildren enough.
The affection between this great-grandparent and grandchild spanning two generations, the unconditional doting, is something others simply cannot imagine.
Who would have thought that this tough guy who braved gunfire back then could now stand outside for two or three hours just by being pointed at by his two great-grandchildren?
Jiang Si fell silent upon hearing this.
Seeing her worried expression, Huo Tingzhou said, "It's alright, I'll think of a way."
He spoke with such certainty that Jiang Si subconsciously assumed he was going to take over his grandparents' job and personally take the baby out for walks every day.
"That's fine too." Jiang Si nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tingzhou went to the storeroom and found a shovel.
The snow has been heavy these past few days, and every household is shoveling snow, so Jiang Si didn't think much of it.
By the time she realized something was wrong, the row of evergreen plants outside the living room window had already been mostly dug up.
Jiang Si was shocked, then realized what she meant, "Why...why are you digging this up!"
Upon hearing the sound, Huo Tingzhou stopped what he was doing and gave a serious explanation.
"If we move these evergreen plants away, the view won't be blocked, and the children can see the snow outside while sitting in the living room."
As he spoke, he pointed to the area near the window, "I plan to build a few more snowmen here."
It's good, but to start construction right in front of my house during the Lunar New Year...
Jiang Si said, "You'd better watch out when your grandparents come back and give you a piece of their mind!"
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, the old man's figure appeared in her sight.
Upon seeing the messy flowerbed, the old man's brows immediately furrowed.
"Huo Tingzhou! You brat, why... why did you mess with my evergreen plant?!"
He had taken great care of these evergreen plants for a long time!
So Huo Tingzhou repeated what he had just said.
Just as Jiang Si was wondering whether she should say a few good words for him, the old man glared at her.
Although his anger hadn't subsided, the direction of his scolding had completely changed.
"You brat, why didn't you say you had this idea sooner!"
The old man roared in a strong voice, "You made the child freeze outside for ages!"
After saying that, he handed Sui Sui, who was in his arms, to Jiang Si.
Then he said to Huo Tingzhou, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and dig! By the way, where's the snowman?"
Huo Tingzhou pointed, "Here."
The old man shook his head. "No, no, they can't see from this far away."
As he spoke, he took another big step forward.
Grandma Huo chuckled, "Just pile it up here, make it big, so that Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao can see it as soon as they open their eyes."
The old man nodded.
It was around this time that Mrs. Huo and the others returned. Seeing that the old man wanted to build a snowman, the whole family came over to help.
As the saying goes, many hands make light work.
In no time, six snowmen with different expressions were completed.
The eyes were made of coal, the nose was made of carrots, and a red scarf was ingeniously worn around the neck.
The two little ones were overjoyed, dancing excitedly in Jiang Si and Huo's mother's arms.
The little finger pointed at the snowman outside and babbled all afternoon without moving an inch.
When it got dark at night, she was carried back to her room.
Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao were still reluctantly pointing towards the window.
"Mah—Mah—"
"oh oh----"
The two children talked while looking at Jiang Si, their meaning quite clear.
They also wanted to draw back the curtains to see the snowman!
Jiang Si couldn't help but laugh as she washed the two little ones' hands and feet.
She said helplessly, "My little darlings, please have mercy on me! It's so late at night and the curtains aren't drawn, I just can't stand it!"
Besides, this is on the second floor, where is she supposed to make them snowmen?
The little guy didn't understand, and seeing that his mom wasn't paying attention to him, he turned to look at his dad.
Huo Tingzhou smiled, walked over, and lifted them out of the cradle, one in each arm, and placed them in the middle of the bed.
The moment the two little ones' bottoms touched the bed, they immediately rolled over with a thud.
Then they all raised their heads in unison.
One was looking at their father, and the other was looking at their mother.
Before Jiang Si could react, Zhao Zhao's little face came close.
Before long, a wet trail of drool was left on her face.
Even though it's her own child, she doesn't dislike him.
But it's just saliva after all!
Seeing this, Sui Sui followed suit, but unfortunately, he was a bit far from Jiang Si.
In the end, it remained stuck in place for a long time without moving an inch.
But this posture...
Jiang Si blushed upon seeing this.
This...this...
It shouldn't be like that, they're always very careful when they're doing *that*, but this is still a bit much...
Before Jiang Si could speak, Huo Tingzhou suddenly chuckled softly.
"You're still laughing?" Jiang Si was so angry she didn't want to say anything.
"It's not what you think," Huo Tingzhou explained gently.
Jiang Si's face was still flushed. "Hurry up and coax these two little devils to sleep."
"good."
After saying that, Huo Tingzhou hugged the two little ones.
With her other hand, she snapped the bedroom light off.
The sudden darkness silenced the two little ones for a moment.
Before they could react, Huo Tingzhou's large hand gently stroked their little bottoms, patting them lightly a few times with even pressure.
Perhaps they were tired from playing all day, the two little ones mumbled a few unintelligible 'baby talk' words, and within two or three minutes they fell asleep with long, even breaths.
...
After the storm passed, the whole family, following the itinerary the old man had prepared in advance, accompanied Brother Huo's family on their trip to Beijing.
I visited all the major and minor tourist attractions in Beijing.
We've eaten delicious food.
I also went to the theater to see a few performances.
Time passed by at a leisurely pace. Although there were still several days until the New Year, the Huo family was filled with laughter and joy every day.
It really proves the saying that every day is like celebrating the New Year when the whole family is together.
Compared to the warmth and joy of the Huo family, the Shen family's New Year celebrations could only be described as akin to mourning the loss of their parents.
