Chapter 320 Being near the water tower, one gets the moon first.
Before she could even speak, Mr. Huo put down his chopsticks and said with a loving expression.
"Your parents and I have things to do today. You two go and have fun."
Speaking of her mother-in-law, Jiang Si was wondering where her mother-in-law had gone.
When he turned around, he saw Huo's mother coming out carrying a large bag of things.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that all of them belonged to the little guy.
Things like drinking cups, small baby bottles, and teething biscuits.
"This thermos is filled with hot water, so be careful when you handle it."
"The milk porridge is right next to us. Just make some for them if they get hungry. I've also packed some fruit for you."
"Oh, right, the scarf, towel, small toys, and toilet paper are all in this bag. Don't forget them."
That's why they say it's not easy to go out.
These alone filled the whole bag.
"Oh, there's this too."
As she spoke, Mrs. Huo took out two small, light yellow sun hats. "Come on, Sui Sui, Zhao Zhao, put these hats on."
It's the height of summer, and the morning sun is already quite strong.
The two little ones have milky white skin; if they get tanned, Mrs. Huo will be heartbroken.
As soon as they saw Grandma about to put hats on them, the two little ones cooperated perfectly.
She grinned and smiled.
"You're happy because you know you're going out to play, right?" The old man watched from the side and teased with a smile.
"Oh, right, bring that little stroller with you," Mr. Huo reminded him.
The two little ones are quite heavy now; if I carry them all day, my arms won't be able to keep up.
"Okay, I'll go get it."
Before long, Huo Tingzhou pushed the cart out.
The car has a two-seater design with a thin cotton pad inside, making it soft and comfortable to sit on without hurting your bottom.

After exchanging a few more words, they realized it was getting late.
Huo Tingzhou put everything in the trunk, while Jiang Si took the two little ones and sat in the back seat.
There were no seat belts in the back of the car, so Mrs. Huo used several pillows to wedge them in front of the seats.
That way, even if you accidentally fall, you won't get hurt.
Fortunately, the two little ones seemed to know that they were being taken out to play.
She sat obediently in her seat, her big, dark eyes curiously looking out the window, neither crying nor making a fuss.
Mrs. Huo was overjoyed and gently patted the two little ones' heads.
He also casually reminded Huo Tingzhou, "Be careful while driving."
"Okay, Mom."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo's mother called Huo Tingzhou aside.
Jiang Si's attention was focused on the two little ones, so she didn't pay much attention to what they were saying.
When Huo Tingzhou got into the car and started the engine, Jiang Si noticed a smile on his lips and couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.
"What did Mom just say to you?" Why are you so happy?
Huo Tingzhou turned and glanced at the mother and her two children, his eyes shining with a different kind of light.
Just as Jiang Si was wondering...
He suddenly handed over the keys in his hand, saying, "Mom said we shouldn't rush back tonight. If we're tired, we can stay overnight at the Xishan Compound."
After saying that, he added, as if trying to cover up his misunderstanding, "That side is closer to the zoo."
Sensing the pleasure in his voice, Jiang Si gripped the key tightly in her hand, her face flushing crimson.
Is that closer?
That's clearly... it's a case of being in a favorable position getting the moon first!
However, she didn't refuse.
We've already had two nights of intense battles, so one more won't make a difference.
Two days passed in a flash, and deep down, she cherished this opportunity to be alone.
Seeing her nod in agreement, Huo Tingzhou's face instantly lit up with a smile.
He looked refreshed and invigorated.
Half an hour later, Huo Tingzhou parked the car steadily in an open space next to the zoo.
It's the weekend, and there are many people visiting the zoo.
At this time, apart from a few predatory animals that have been housed in separate enclosures, most of the animals in the zoo are displayed to the public in open-air captivity.
Beijing Zoo, 1970
For the first few hours, Jiang Si had plenty of energy.
Although the children couldn't understand, it didn't stop her from patiently explaining.
Later on, she was completely unable to continue.
I wonder which one the two little ones took after! After walking around for several hours, there was no sign of fatigue in their eyes.
Especially when they see the little animals in the picture book, their curious eyes almost widen.
"Little sister, look! It's so big!" It's much bigger than the one in the notebook!
"Wow, brother, it can move!" How amazing!
Don't get me wrong, the two little ones don't talk about these things now.
Jiang Si deduced this from their incredibly vivid little expressions and babbling words.
Well, she was a little tired today, but seeing the two little ones looking so excited, she felt it was worth the trip.
And so, the couple, one pushing the cart and the other holding the camera, continued their journey.
We wandered around the zoo until after 4 p.m.
Later on, Jiang Si simply couldn't walk anymore.
Huo Tingzhou then found a shady spot and had her sit down to rest.
He patiently led the two little ones through the last few venues.
At this moment, the sun was setting.
A family strolling along the tree-lined avenue has a unique charm.
At this moment, Jiang Si suddenly noticed that there was a state-owned store next to the zoo.
The storefront doesn't look very big, but there are quite a lot of people inside.
Upon entering, it resembled a cultural and creative store from later times.
They sell all kinds of plush toys in the shape of small animals, commemorative postcards, badges, pencil cases and notebooks printed with small animals, and so on. There are quite a lot of different kinds.
“Mama… Mama…” Zhao Zhao’s sweet little voice suddenly rang out.
Before Jiang Si could react, the two little ones had already stretched out their chubby little hands at the same time.
Zhao Zhao refers to the giant panda.
Sui Sui immediately took a liking to the zebra.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you~" Seeing the two little ones' longing eyes, Jiang Si nodded without hesitation.
It's a rare opportunity to get out and have fun, so having a good time is the most important thing.
But just as Jiang Si was about to pay, the two little ones' attention was drawn to the items on the nearby shelf.
"Mama...ma..."
This time, it was Sui Sui who spoke.
Jiang Si was also quite helpless about this.
In terms of physical strength, the two children clearly took after their father.
And you can't take your eyes off things you like, there's no doubt about that, it's 100% just because of yourself!
There's no way around it, you have to spoil your own child.
Of course, Jiang Si didn't forget her nephews and nieces either.
Unsurprisingly, by the time they left the store, Huo Tingzhou was carrying so many things that he could barely keep up with them.
The two little ones had been running around outside all day and were exhausted by now.
Not long after getting in the car, before even having a chance to drink her milk porridge, she started fast asleep with the bottle in her mouth.
Jiang Si was also tired.
I don't even know when I fell asleep.
Huo Tingzhou smiled and glanced at the back seat before starting the car.
And so the car followed the sun steadily westward.
When I woke up again, it was pitch black outside.
Just as Jiang Si was worrying about her back, Huo Tingzhou gently hugged her from behind.
Yes, I just hugged her and didn't do anything further.
Jiang Si was somewhat surprised and turned her body slightly to the side. "You...you don't want to?"
As she spoke, she unconsciously let out another delicate yawn.
"Yes!" Huo Tingzhou answered her honestly.
Then his arms tightened slightly involuntarily.
His desire for her has always been intense.
But his feelings for her were not just physical attraction and impulse.
Even if he did nothing, just holding her quietly, feeling her warmth and breath in his arms, Huo Tingzhou was already very content.
He kissed the corner of her lips, then glanced at his son and daughter sleeping soundly.
Huo Tingzhou said, "Go to sleep."
[Sorry, I had something to do today, so I'll only post one chapter now and will make up for it tomorrow night. Also, Tomato (the author) has been acting up lately, and a lot of comments were deleted. Yesterday alone, over 2000 comments were deleted! So frustrating! It wasn't Orange (the author) who deleted them!]
