Chapter 1008: Chapter 1012: Everything Else is Up to You
Tan Zhenghong suggested, "Once they grow a little bigger, I’ll get a big bathtub and put them together for a bath. They can play with the water as siblings, it will definitely be fun."
Qiao Duo’er immediately nodded, thinking it was a good idea, but by then their house would be like it had been flooded.
The house was kept warm day and night with the Ground Dragon heating, so it wasn’t cold at all, but with the child being so small, Tan Zhenghong still worried about the child catching a cold, so he quickly lifted Tangyuan out of the water.
No sooner had Tangyuan been dressed than Green Group started to howl.
Tan Zhenghong put Tangyuan beside Duo’er and continued to bathe Green Group himself.
Before long, both siblings were lying on the bed, unusually both awake and unusually neither crying.
Qiao Duo’er silently marveled, it’s when they don’t cry that they’re really angels.
She teased the children from time to time, and the little guys weren’t annoyed and even smiled at Duo’er occasionally.
Seeing mother and children having fun, Tan Zhenghong planned to sneak away for a bath.
But just as he was about to fill the tub, the little one started crying again.
Ah, the speed of this mood change was unparalleled.
Tan Zhenghong didn’t hesitate to put back on the clothes he’d half removed and fed the two little masters. He had no energy left to bathe anymore.
This was also a good thing, so he didn’t tempt his wife, who wouldn’t be able to control herself, seeing him bathing.
Everyone says you can’t wash your hair or take a bath during the postpartum period, otherwise you’ll suffer from postpartum illnesses. He considered it a special concession already letting Qiao Duo brush her teeth morning and night.
Two days later, Qiao Duo remembered this matter.
Tan Zhenghong had known this day would come, but he hadn’t expected it so soon; it had only been four days since the birth!
Qiao Duo’er cooed, "Ah Hong, I feel like I’m going to be covered in maggots, I need to bathe."
She hadn’t gone this long without a bath in either her past or current life.
"I wipe you down every day, how could you possibly be covered in maggots?" 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Tan Zhenghong laughed it off, but he could confidently claim that his wife was definitely the cleanest postpartum woman in Big Willow Village.
Especially those who gave birth in summer, the smell in the maternity ward was enough to knock someone out.
Qiao Duo glanced at her hair with disgust, "Look at my hair, the grease scraped off could be used for cooking!"
"That’s easy to fix, I’ll find a cloth to wrap it up for you."
Tan Zhenghong immediately sprang into action, as it seemed this was what his sisters-in-law had done.
Qiao Duo spoke seriously, "A new mother is weak and sweats easily. If not cleaned properly, bacteria can grow, and bacteria can easily cause illness."
"But others say it’s easy to fall prey to postpartum illnesses, many people suffer their whole life with leg pain, back pain, headaches and such, all because of catching a chill," Tan Zhenghong argued earnestly. On all other matters, he might relent, but he was uncompromising on this one.
"Our family is different from other families. We have the Ground Dragon heating, our house is newly built, and there are no drafts. How could I possibly catch a chill? If you really are worried, after I’m done bathing, you can dry my hair with the heater," Qiao Duo tried to persuade Tan Zhenghong.
Based on Tan Zhenghong’s understanding, she would have to stay dirty for a month, and she felt she couldn’t survive that.
Tan Zhenghong still shook his head, "I won’t let you joke about your health."
"Why are you so stubborn? This is science, not like your superstitions!" Qiao Duo’s temper flared up.
She doubted whether Tan Zhenghong was just trying to irritate her to death!
Tan Zhenghong said softly, "Wife, just listen to me this once, on everything else I’ll listen to you, okay?"
