Chapter 668: Chapter 673 Dare to Ambush?_1
Looking at the flawless white snow, Qiao Duo’er felt a urge itching in her hands.
She believed that there’s no time like the present and immediately made a snowball and hurled it at Tan Zhenghong, hitting him right on his little bum.
It was hard to come by such a heavy snowfall, and not taking the opportunity to have some fun would be doing a disservice to herself.
"You dare ambush me?" Tan Zhenghong feigned anger.
Qiao Duo’er huffed lightly, "Who asked you to be so dumb? You couldn’t even dodge it, and you still have the nerve to say you’re a martial artist!"
Tan Zhenghong didn’t retort but simply scooped up a handful of snow and threw it at Qiao Duo’er.
Qiao Duo’er easily dodged and sent back a provocative glare.
The battle was about to erupt when the two who had been shoveling snow started hurling snowballs at each other, turning the scene into chaos.
After fooling around for a while, they suddenly realized the area they had cleared was now a complete mess again, to Qiao Duo’er’s chagrin.
If they continued this way, they wouldn’t be able to clear a path even if they shoveled all night.
Suddenly, Qiao Duo’er saw Chao Lian walking back.
With just over ten days until the New Year, everyone was rushing to meet deadlines, and as the one in charge, Chao Lian had every reason to set an example.
What’s more important was the preoccupied look on Chao Lian’s face; she didn’t even notice the two of them.
"Do you think Erhu and Chao Lian have run into some trouble?"
Tan Zhenghong shook his head, "I only heard that Jiang’s Clan came to make a fuss a few times, but Erhu and Chao Lian ignored her, and without a handle, Jiang’s Clan couldn’t do much. Other than that, I don’t know."
In fact, Jiang’s Clan was nothing more than a paper tiger. Apart from ranting and raving, they were pretty harmless.
As long as Erhu and his family stood their ground and hid the Silver Coin well, Jiang’s Clan wouldn’t be a threat.
Qiao Duo’er nodded. Chao Lian’s life was simple. If it wasn’t Jiang’s Clan, it couldn’t be Sun Erhu, so it must be the Embroidery Room.
But with the Embroidery Room running on schedule, what could go wrong?
"You’ll check it out when you deliver firewood to the Embroidery Room tomorrow," Qiao Duo’er instructed.
Now that the weather was getting colder, to ensure the temperature of the Embroidery Room, Tan Zhenghong had to deliver firewood there every few days.
She had opened the Embroidery Room on a whim, but thankfully, Tan Zhenghong, being diligent, had prepared the winter firewood well in advance, enough to comfortably cover the extra needs of the Embroidery Room.
Perhaps Tan Zhenghong had grown accustomed to Qiao Duo’er’s whimsical nature.
Tan Zhenghong nodded and kept the matter in mind. Erhu was a good brother of his, so naturally, he was a bit more concerned about them.
Having discussed Chao Lian, Qiao Duo’er then remembered the mess behind them.
Ah, what a troublesome situation. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
"You’re in charge of cleaning it up." Qiao Duo’er rubbed her red, cold hands – she had played a bit too long, and her hands had gone numb from the cold.
Tan Zhenghong enclosed Qiao Duo’er’s hands in his embrace, "Didn’t I tell you not to play with the snow? Now tell me, how should I punish you?"
"Could I have played by myself?"
Qiao Duo’er gave him a big eye roll, her eyes full of disdain.
Just a moment ago, Tan Zhenghong had been very cooperative, playing like a child who never grew up, and now suddenly it was all her fault?
Humph, so men flip sides just as easily as flipping a book.
Tan Zhenghong arched an eyebrow, "Wasn’t I just trying not to disappoint you? Let’s go back to the house quickly."
"I was having too much fun, I don’t want to go back!"
Qiao Duo’er never just did as told; instead, she went with Tan Zhenghong to the backyard to feed those little things.
Having not seen them for several days, she missed them terribly.
Tan Zhenghong couldn’t win against Qiao Duo’er and went on to mix the food himself, then carried it over to his wife, allowing her to just pour it into the trough.
Even so, Tan Zhenghong still felt for his wife and helped with the feeding.
