Chapter 389 When it comes to being parents, they have plenty of patience.
The voice and the tone of voice didn't sound like someone who had just woken up at all.
Jiang Si sighed helplessly. She thought to herself, "Why did these two little ones fall asleep so quickly today?"
After all that, it turns out he was just pretending to be asleep!
Fortunately, she and Huo Tingzhou didn't do anything intimate, otherwise...
Huo Tingzhou clearly realized this as well, and his face turned even blacker than the bottom of a pot.
Unfortunately, the two little ones didn't notice any of this; all they knew was that no matter what, Mom was the most important person!
So, he decisively grabbed Jiang Si's arm and started acting cute and charming.
"Mommy, I want bubbles!" The two little ones drawled out their sweet, soft voices.
Jiang Si couldn't take it and gave up in less than two minutes.
Children only rely on their parents for a few years. When they get older, they might not want to stay with their parents.
Furthermore, the two little ones are too big to take care of now.
The old man and his third uncle work very hard to take care of the child, so it's good for them to have a few days of peace and quiet.
In fact, Jiang Si had discussed the matter of taking care of the child with Huo Tingzhou before.
Given Huo Tingzhou's current rank and existing policies, they could easily hire a live-in nanny to take care of the children and manage the household chores.
However, before she could find a suitable candidate, the old man and his family rejected the suggestion.
The two men immediately became furious, saying that they had nothing to do at home, and if they weren't allowed to take care of their great-grandson to pass the time, that would be truly boring!
“Bring them all along,” Jiang Si said.
After she said that, what could Huo Tingzhou say?
Well, this time it's not just soaking in a hot spring, it's really soaking in a bath!
And so, what was originally a sweet and romantic trip for the couple turned into a family of four at the last minute.
Perhaps knowing they were going out to play, the two little ones woke up early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
Huo Tingzhou was right about one thing: the two children are indeed very well-behaved.
When the two woke up, they saw their parents still asleep. They immediately made a shushing gesture and then quietly slid off the bed.
The temperature difference between day and night in Beijing is quite large. As soon as her little feet touched the floor, Sui Sui couldn't help but shiver.
She quickly pulled her little feet back and also pressed down on her younger sister who was about to get down.
Zhao Zhao glanced at her older brother, her eyes full of question marks, "???"
"Cool." Sui Sui said, pulling out two pairs of socks from under her little pillow.
My younger sister is sensitive to the cold, so I'll dress her first.
He only dressed himself after he had finished dressing his sister.
The little feet were wrapped up tightly.
The two then slipped on their slippers and went to the bathroom hand in hand.
The two little ones had just stepped out of the room when Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou on the bed opened their eyes.
The two little ones were making such a racket, they naturally knew what was going on.
He was just pretending to be half asleep.
There's nothing we can do; ever since the Lunar New Year, the two little ones refuse to let anyone help them brush their teeth or wash their faces.
Jiang Si let the children do whatever they wanted, but her elderly parents were still worried.
I always had to secretly hide behind them to protect them, afraid that they might fall or swallow something they shouldn't have.
The two little ones knew nothing about it.
She had already skillfully stood on the small footrest in front of the sink.
The small foot pedals were specially customized according to the height of the two little ones, and they fit perfectly when they step on them.
Sui Sui skillfully unscrewed the toothpaste cap, squeezed out a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for herself, then turned to the side and squeezed a little more onto her younger sister's toothbrush.
He doesn't have many teeth, but he brushes them very diligently.
The little head kept bobbing back and forth, making Jiang Si almost dizzy.
The two then began rinsing their mouths.
Next, she picked up a small towel and started washing her face.
It's really tough on my father. Every night before going to bed, he has to adjust the faucet to the right position so that the water temperature is just right.
After washing their faces, the two little ones didn't forget to apply lotion to themselves.
As soon as they left the bathroom, the two turned around and started looking for their small suitcases.
The small suitcase, which is only slightly larger than a schoolbag, is what Huo Tingzhou uses to carry toiletries when he goes on short missions.
Because it also had several wheels attached, the two little ones liked it very much, so Huo Tingzhou bought one for each of them.
After getting the small suitcase, the two little ones started stuffing things into it with great effort.
Toys, cloth books, comic books, and delicious cookies—basically, I stuffed whatever I could think of into it.
Seeing that the two of them had already started rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Huo Tingzhou, who had only been back in bed for less than two minutes, took the opportunity to get up again.
"Don't worry about it, let them sort it out themselves." Jiang Si reached out and pressed him down.
As a first-time mother, she had little experience and often acted on instinct.
She generally doesn't interrupt or interfere with her child's behavior unless it's dangerous.
If she did something wrong, she would explain it to them face-to-face afterwards.
The two little ones are quite precocious; they just can't express themselves well enough, but they can still understand the reasoning behind things.
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingzhou lay back down. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two were talking in hushed tones when the two little ones outside seemed to have encountered some trouble.
It seems there's no way to solve this.
Seeing this, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou pretended to have just woken up and went to the outer room.
Seeing that her mother was awake, Zhao Zhao immediately put down what she was doing, ran over and opened her mouth wide to show Jiang Si her teeth.
Jiang Si feigned surprise, bent down to take a closer look, and asked, "Honey, did you brush your teeth?"
Zhao Zhao nodded emphatically, "Swiped it."
"It's been cleaned really well."
"Mommy, smell it!" Zhao Zhao squinted her crescent-shaped eyes and brought her little face and hands closer.
Jiang Si took a deep breath in agreement, "It smells so good!"
Huo Tingzhou was already squatting down next to Sui Sui, patting his head with his large hand, "What's wrong?"
Sui Sui is very smart; she knows that things can't be explained in just one or two sentences.
I immediately demonstrated it to him.
Then Huo Tingzhou understood.
It turned out that the small suitcase was packed with too many things and couldn't be closed immediately.
Of course, this is also related to their young age and lack of organizational skills.
If he were to handle it, it would be very simple.
But Huo Tingzhou did not do that.
Instead, she took another suitcase in front of her son.
"Look, this is how Dad packed it." He said as he sorted out the items in the box one by one.
Soon, a lot of space was vacated in the box.
But Zhao Zhao brought so many things that several dolls couldn't fit in the box.
Huo Tingzhou did not make the decision on his own, but left the decision to his daughter.
"Zhaozhao, the suitcase is a bit small, it can't hold all of these. Pick your favorite one, and Dad will pack it for you. We'll leave the other two at home for now and bring them next time we go out, okay?"
Zhao Zhao nodded and quickly picked out her favorite one.
"See, is it all packed now?" Huo Tingzhou said, easily closing the box.
Children of this age have an exceptional ability to imitate, thanks to Huo Tingzhou's patient demonstration and guidance.
Like a child, she quickly followed his example and rearranged the contents of the box.
It's still a bit messy, but at least it can be closed smoothly.
While he was busy tidying up, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou had already started working, neatly tying two cute buns into Zhao Zhao's hair.
Just as they expected, once Zhao Zhao's hair was tied up in a bun, she also set her sights on the suitcase.
Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou didn't interfere; they let her do whatever she wanted.
How will you know if your child has learned something if you don't try?
When it comes to being parents, they have plenty of patience!
As expected, Zhao Zhao did not disappoint them. When the two returned after washing up, Zhao Zhao had already reorganized the messed-up suitcase based on her own understanding.
Half an hour later, the guards who were responsible for picking them up arrived.
This time they were going to Xiaotangshan Sanatorium in the northern suburbs. The road conditions in the suburbs were not very good. Once the car left the city, there was not a single person in sight.
Fortunately, we brought two little ones along, who chattered away the whole way, so it wasn't boring at all.
After a bumpy two-hour ride, we finally arrived.
