Chapter 1065: Chapter 1070: Little Calculations
After sending off Luo Qingfeng and Lu Kejun, that pair of cheerful enemies, the first lunar month also entered its final phase.
Tan Zhenghong suddenly remembered the hot spring he had discovered before the new year. If they didn’t go now, they would have to wait until next winter.
It wasn’t easy for him to discover that treasured spot; not to enjoy it soon would be a real waste.
Qiao Duo’er was hesitant. Children have a poor ability to regulate their body temperature, and the hot water of the hot springs could easily cause a baby to suffer from heatstroke, or even affect brain development. Yet, she didn’t feel at ease not taking them either.
It was truly a troublesome matter, but fortunately, she soon thought of a perfect solution.
"We could take Green Group and Tangyuan with us, then let them float in wooden basins, couldn’t we?"
Qiao Duo’er asked.
But Tan Zhenghong was unhappy because he had a little secret in his heart.
He had thought that after the confinement period, his happy life would begin. However, there had been fewer opportunities than expected, and during those times his wife was not particularly focused.
Today, he wanted to avoid the two little ones and fully enjoy a world of just the two of them.
He didn’t anticipate his wife still wanting to bring the kids along. What was he to do?
His skin was already thick, but he still couldn’t accept doing intimate things in front of the children.
Tan Zhenghong advised tactfully, "The hot spring is on the mountain. We would have no problem walking the mountain paths, but their skin is so tender. A scratch could bring trouble, and the fluctuating temperature makes it easy for them to fall ill."
Even children breastfed by their mothers can’t withstand such rough and tumble.
"But..."
Qiao Duo’er was still hesitant. Leaving Green Group and Tangyuan at home would surely upset the two little ones.
Tan Zhenghong quickly said, "No buts. Granny Su and my mother are both here, and they will definitely take good care of the children."
"Madam, please agree with the master. We surely won’t let down the young master or the young miss."
Granny Su chimed in just in time.
The Tan Family had recently added two little ones, and the couple had been busy day and night.
Going to take a dip in the hot springs now would be a leisurely break from the busyness, and also an opportunity to communicate their emotions as a couple.
Only when their relationship was good could their home be harmonious and content.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "I’ll pump out the milk first and store it in the icehouse. When Green Group and Tangyuan wake up, someone can warm it up and feed it to them. Ah Hong and I will try to come back early."
The truth was, she had been bored staying at home all the time.
Granny Su immediately brought over two clean bowls, and Qiao Duo’er lifted the curtain and entered the inner room.
Pumping the milk in advance also spared her from feeling engorged later on the mountain.
By the time she had prepared two bowls of milk for the little ones, Tan Zhenghong had already packed up everything for the hot springs, and he happily pulled his wife up the mountain.
Breathing in the fresh mountain air, Qiao Duo’er exclaimed, "It’s been so long since I’ve felt this free."
"Wife, do you feel like life has trapped you?"
Qiao Duo’er nodded seriously. She used to be carefree, but now no matter where she went, there were attachments she couldn’t cut away.
Tan Zhenghong cleared his throat, "This is the trouble you brought upon yourself, and you dragged me into it, too."
If it hadn’t been for Qiao Duo secretly switching his medicine, they would still be free now.
He had always said he didn’t want to see Duo’er suffer; it would be perfectly fine for just the two of them to live together.
"You heartless jerk, without Green Group and Tangyuan, wouldn’t our life have less joy?" Qiao Duo’er retorted disdainfully.
Children are a sweet burden, painful and joyful at the same time.
Tan Zhenghong nodded compliantly. Ever since two little ones entered their lives, his mentality had changed.
It was probably more mature than before, and he became somewhat more meticulous in his actions.
