Chapter 1096: Chapter 1102: Neutral Attitude
Green Group and Tangyuan quickly finished eating and then they eagerly looked at their father.
They had never tasted something so delicious before, the small amount they had was simply not enough.
Although Tan Zhenghong knew that the children shouldn’t eat too much barbecue, he was defeated by their adorably persuasive gazes.
After separating the fish and meat, Tan Zhenghong instructed, "Be careful while eating, spit out all the bones."
After taking care of the little ones, Tan Zhenghong also picked up a piece of fish for Duo’er.
"You need to eat more."
Eating more fish and meat would help her wounds heal faster, otherwise, if left until summer, the wounds might become inflamed and fester.
Qiao Duo’er, while eating, felt fortunate that her wound was on her left arm.
Otherwise, if she herself had difficulty eating and had to be fed by Tan Zhenghong, the children would definitely laugh at her.
After dinner, Tangyuan patted her round belly, "Dad, Mom, will we often stay outside in the future?"
"Whenever there’s a chance, I’ll let you experience it a few more times, but remember, no crying to go home in the middle of the night," Qiao Duo’er responded without hesitation.
"I surely won’t; it’s brother who cries."
Tangyuan was certain, as long as her dad, mom, and brother were with her, she wouldn’t cry.
Green Group did not contradict her directly, but imitated Tangyuan, crying out, "Mom, someone stole my candy."
"Annoying, that was a long time ago!" Tangyuan pouted and said. That time, she took candy for her friends but was robbed by Tan Xiaofu, who also threatened her to frequently give him candy thereafter, and she cried only because she was scared.
Moreover, now she was not scared of Xiaofu at all, because that day her mom took her to Xiaofu’s house and got her stolen candy back.
Although she knew that Xiaofu’s family was afraid of her mother, as a daughter, she should be assertive.
Green Group slightly smiled, he might remember this incident for a few more years.
Tangyuan sought help from her mother, she was a girl, so what if she cried a bit?
Green Group sneered, "That’s between us."
"You two continue, Mom is tired today and wants to rest for a while."
Qiao Duo maintained a neutral stance, hands and palms were all flesh; it wouldn’t be right to favor one over the other.
Moreover, arguing was a way for the children to communicate and grow closer; excessive adult intervention might create conflicts for them. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
After a while, Tan Zhenghong brought a basin of hot water over, cleaned the children’s hands and faces, and then urged them to go to sleep.
The space in the carriage was limited, so Duo’er and the children had to sleep in the carriage.
Tan Zhenghong and Big Lei slept beside the fire, so they could respond promptly in case anything happened.
Qiao Duo lying in the carriage, however, felt no sleepiness at all; lying uncomfortably, she then draped her clothes on and got out of the carriage.
The best way to reduce pain was to divert the attention.
At that moment, Tan Zhenghong was sitting next to the fire. Seeing Duo’er come out, he asked with concern, "Are you in pain and can’t sleep?"
"It hurts a bit and feels rather lonely, what are you thinking about sitting here alone?"
Qiao Duo sat down next to Tan Zhenghong.
"Just thinking that I almost lost you and the children today makes me unable to sleep," Tan Zhenghong said morosely. Whenever he closed his eyes, the images of the day flashed before him.
He feared that upon waking up, the most important people to him would have disappeared.
Qiao Duo comforted him, "Our family is lucky and strong, we will surely turn danger into safety; you just relax."
Sensing Tan Zhenghong’s unease, she moved closer to him.
They just needed to be more cautious in the future.
Tan Zhenghong pulled Duo’er into his arms, feeling somewhat more at ease.
