one step away [Interstellar]

82.

The children's tableware will be sterilized again before each use, and Xia Zuo will not share their things while they are still in use.There was no apparent reason to dissuade her, so Heber could only continue to watch her have sex.

By September, Chenuo and Li Qi were toddlers with pacifiers in their mouths.From the beginning, he could only stand up straight for a while, but later he was able to throw himself into Xia Zuo's arms to grab the bottle.Their bodies developed rapidly, facing the sunlight like a young sapling and growing wantonly.

After one year old, they can already walk a long distance with their small bodies, such as walking from the door of the baby room to the innermost part.For this reason, Sang Xu, who finally finished filming for a whole year, looked at the nieces who were already alive and kicking in the blink of an eye, showing a surprised expression.

Even though they both looked very similar to Xia Zuo, she couldn't help holding the child in her arms and coaxing her well.

The keen Sang Xu obviously noticed the changes between He Bo and Xia Zuo, but this time, she didn't ask her sister anything.Everyone needs to be responsible for their own choices, she thinks, no matter what the result is, her sister has already made enough psychological preparations.

The arrival of Sang Xu caused a wave of sweetness in their ordinary life. After she left, He Bai and Xia Zuo continued their day-to-day life.

Heber's work has not been affected because of the child, she is still doing the career she loves, and after Xia Zuo shared some of her responsibilities, she can even complete her design draft on weekends.Of course, she would only do this unless she was very busy.She spends more time with her children.

Since the last time he returned to San Lorenzo, Xia Zuo had no time to go back.Although Heber didn't care what she was doing, he would ask her from time to time if she was busy. If Xia Zuo was busy, she would take care of the children with the nannies.

Xia Zuo was indeed very busy, with countless files piled up in her brain.Military, economic, some scattered trivial matters.Even though she has retired, it is very necessary to keep an eye on international news and military trends.

Hebe didn't know when she would return to San Lorenzo again, for how long, or if she would return.But in the remaining time together, try to adjust your rhythm as much as possible to make the family atmosphere more harmonious.

Among the twins, the first one to speak was not the eldest sister, but Li Qi, the younger sister.It was a fine afternoon, Xia Zuo took the two children to the yard to bask in the sun.

She spread out a large thick blanket on the lawn, put the two children on it, and played some favorite games with them.The twins have started teething and always like to bite into something.Like your own fingers, or something else.Xia Zuo was bitten several times a few days ago, so he forcefully stuffed them with a pacifier and bit them.

The two babies were playing well at first, but after receiving the pacifier Xia Zuo gave, they bit it a few times, stuck out their tongues, and spit it out.Xia Zuo reached out to pick it up, but before he had time to react, he saw Qiano's small slap smack his sister's face.

"Wow..." After a while, Li Qi, who was stunned by the beating, crawled towards Xia Zuo with both hands, hugging her thigh and crying.

"..." Seeing Qian Nuo who began to bully his younger sister every day, Xia Zuo stretched out his hand dumbfounded, and hugged Li Qi tightly in his arms. Looking at the crying little daughter, he softly coaxed, "Oh... don't cry, don't cry. Cry, little Lizhi don't cry... Is my sister beating you..."

While she was coaxing, the fierce Chenuo raised his hand again, and slapped Li Qi who was in Xia Zuo's arms.Xia Zuo moved around nimbly, looked at his fierce elder daughter, and said dumbfoundedly, "Qie Nuo... Li Qi is crying... this is yours..."

Saying so, she handed the pacifier in her hand to Cheno.The little child looked at the pacifier in his hand, looked to the left, looked again, and finally flattened his mouth, threw away the pacifier in his hand, sat on the blanket and cried out with a whimper.

"Wow……"

Very good, the newly coaxed children cried one after another, the whole symphony.Xia Zuo looked at Li Qi who was spitting out the pacifier in his arms, and then at Qian Nuo who was sitting on the ground crying, and finally understood why Qian Nuo was angry.

"I was wrong... I was wrong... Mom was wrong... Don't be angry, okay?"

Not long after hearing the crying, Heber, who was about to rest after work, came out.She was wearing loose home clothes, standing under the eaves of the corridor, looking at Xia Zuo who was holding a child in one hand not far away, and walked slowly over.

"I was wrong...I was wrong...I shouldn't have mistaken your pacifier, please forgive me?" The closer you walked, the more clearly you could hear what Xia Zuo was saying.Hearing her say such things with the children, she couldn't help showing a smile.

The two children sitting on Xia Zuo's lap were sobbing and crying.After hearing the voice, they raised their heads in unison and looked at the person coming.Xia Zuo then raised his head and saw He Bo standing not far away.

She held her slender silver-white hair, wore a loose plain dress, took off her shoes, and walked into the blanket barefoot.

Xia Zuo raised his head and smiled at her.The corners of Heber's lips curved slightly, gently responding to her smile.She walked up to Xia Zuo, sat down, and before accepting them, the two children abandoned Xia Zuo without hesitation, and staggered into her embrace.

Heber held one in each hand, patted the babies on their backs, smiled lightly, and stretched out his fingers to gently wipe away the tears on their faces.

Xia Zuo looked at the babies who flung themselves into their mother's arms with aggrieved faces, and explained with a smile, "I divided their things by mistake, and Cheno got angry..." Well, he even beat his sister.

Heber glanced at her, and there was no blame in his eyes.Xia Zuo smiled apologetically, watching He Bo comfort the child in his arms with soft eyes.

She looked at the woman holding the child with focused eyes, almost obsessed.The warm sunshine in the afternoon fell on Heber's hair, making the already slender white hair more dazzling.She looked at the woman's soft white side face, looked and looked, and felt that her thoughts were peaceful.

Heber knew that she was being watched, so she didn't dodge, and frankly exposed herself to Xia Zuo's sight.After a while, Xia Zuo, who felt that his eyes were a little out of control, shifted his gaze away, coughed lightly as a cover-up, and said softly, "Have you finished your work yet?"

"Yeah." Hebe nodded slightly, looked at the very well-behaved child who was pillowing on her lap, and said softly, "I'm done, do you have something to do?"

"It's like this. There is a document to be processed. If you are not busy, they will hand it over to you." She said, stood up with some difficulty, looked at Heber and said with nostalgia, "Then I'm leaving ..."

"Ah."

"I'm off to work."

"Go..." He Bo raised his head and looked at Xia Zuo with a gentle expression on his face, "Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you can accompany them first before going there."

Xia Zuo, who was very satisfied with his small thoughts, showed a happy smile when he heard this.She leaned over, patted the cheeks of the two children, then stood up, and said to Heber, "Then I'm leaving."

"Ah."

She said, turned around and walked into the house.But before he even took the first step, he heard a childish voice, "Mom...Mom..."

It's not that he has never heard the children's babbling, but it was the first time he heard such a clear calling sound, so Xia Zuo, who was frightened, turned his head suddenly and looked at the children sucking the pacifier nestled in Heber's arms, trembling asked, "Just now..."

"Li Qi..." He Bo raised his head, and Xia Zuo saw the same look of surprise.

So the person who was going to leave the child to prepare for work immediately dismissed that idea.She sat next to He Bo again, teasing the little daughter in her arms in surprise, and said happily, "Li Qi, call me mom, call me mom..."

Very well, an afternoon of work passed in Xia Zuo's eager anticipation.

On the night when Li Qi was willing to call her mother, Cheno also started calling.Even if it was vague, it was enough to make the two young mothers excited.Xia Zuo began to tease the children every day, accumulating bit by bit. Under Xia Zuo's teaching, the two children made rapid progress, from simple pronunciation to being able to explain what they wanted.

Li Qi developed faster than Chenuo in this aspect. She quickly learned everyone's address, and when Chenuo was fighting for something with her, she used her language advantage to complain to her mother when she was wronged.

Xia Zuo, who was still worried that his younger daughter would suffer from his elder sister because of his physical fitness, suddenly felt that he was not worried at all.She even felt that according to Li Qi's eloquence, the only ones who would suffer in the future would be others.But obviously, under Xia Zuo's education, the twins still love each other very much.

The most intuitive result is that when Xia Zuo took them out to play, the twins would never suffer when they met children from other families, because Cheno was in charge of beating up and Li Qi was in charge of suing, and the cooperation was perfect.

Such a day passed very peacefully and without disturbance.

Just like the political situation in San Lorenzo, it is as quiet as a flat lake.

Two years after Marshal Norton retired from the military department, a new military council headed by Ellen has been formed.Under the advocacy of Lieutenant General Natasha, more and more women have entered the army as excellent beta or omega talents.In the latest round of military academy enrollment, many non-commissioned officers with good qualities in all aspects have emerged.

The current prime minister of the Neustadt Empire has five years left in his term. If there is no accident, the cabinet he formed will be the clearest term in the current queen's term.As the Prime Minister prepares to spend the last five years in power smoothly, all parties have also begun to make various preparations for the election of the next Prime Minister.

A new round of Game of Thrones created waves under the calm lake. After losing the strong support of Marshal Norton, the members of the Winston family who were originally planning to run for prime minister basically had no hope.Therefore, among the members of the current cabinet, the most outstanding are the current Minister of Defense, the Duke of Constance Rose and the eldest princess who is also the Minister of Finance.

If the duke participates in the election, if nothing unexpected happens, she will be the next prime minister.After all, he is a very good alpha, and he is from a famous family, the honorable duke, and the husband of the eldest princess, and his resources will never be less than others.

Many people can predict that the arrival of the next regime will inevitably move forward more peacefully.Therefore, in the past two years in San Lorenzo, the nobles began to learn from Marquis Ellen, and pushed the young people of the family to the foreground for good training.

And among these people, there was no Xia Zuo.

After the scandal, this prominent young duke made a brief appearance and was no longer active in the military and political circles.In the past few years, she has seldom appeared in the sight of everyone. Some people say that the Duke is unwilling to be lonely, and wanders the stars to form mercenaries.Or they are still frustrated by their youthful mistakes, and they stay at home frustrated and don't go out.

But everyone knew that if the duke wanted to come back, there would definitely be a place for her in both the military and political circles.

Many remember the fine young duke and look forward to the impact of her return.But Xia Zuo didn't mean that, after all, now is not the most suitable time for her.

As if living in seclusion, she stayed in San Lorenzo for two and a half years. She never returned to San Lorenzo until her children could walk and talk, and became two very lively babies.

"Cheno...be careful..."

"Li Qi..."

Xia Zuo, who was communicating with his loyal subordinate, stood under the corridor and whispered.Beside her, surrounded by two very beautiful girls, the one with black hair is pulling her thighs, and the one with silver hair is hanging her whole body on her body, it seems that they are going to stand upright along Xia Zuo. body climbed to her shoulders.

He Bo, who was revising the blueprints in the living room, turned his head when he heard the children laughing, and saw two children who were clinging to Xia Zuo again, smiling uncontrollably.

She poked her head out of the drawing, watched the two overly lively children circling Xia Zuo, waved her hand, and said, "Come here."

"Hee hee..." The children who had noticed their mother grinned, stuck out their tongues at Heber, and continued to start their climbing career.

No matter how much Xia Zuo could endure the pain, Rao was shaken by the children's tossing.The hard-working Chen Nuo had already pinched Xia Zuo's leg, and headed towards Xia Zuo's waist under the waving flag of his younger sister Li Qi.

Xia Zuo sighed, and hastily ended the call.When he scooped it up with his long hand, he scooped up Qiano's small body into his bosom.The silver-haired, blue-eyed child screamed, and yelled at Xia Zuo's younger sister in a childlike voice, "Li Qi, run quickly... Charles... Charles is angry... I'm about to spank my ass."

"Oh..." The little girl with long black hair jumped away when she heard the words, and ran to Hebe in the room with a smile, and said coquettishly, "Mom, save me... I'm going to be beaten... Charles is going to hit me It's..."

"Xiare is coming... I'm going to beat you... Li Qi, run away..." Cheno, who was hanging on Xia Zuo's arm, gloated and shouted.Xia Zuo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the milky voice, picked her up with one hand, and said softly, "You haven't finished your lunch today, so I'll spank your ass first, okay?"

"Oh, I don't want it!" Hearing this, the little child covered his little butt with both hands, and said softly, "It will hurt."

She blinked at Xia Zuo, those blue eyes exactly the same as Xia Zuo's were so pure and lovely.Xia Zuo looked at her, then turned to look at Li Qi who was hiding behind He Bo, and said with a smile, "It's okay, Li Qi will cry with you."

"Don't run away, you have a share today." She said to the girl hiding behind Heber, and strode over with Cheno on her shoulder.

Li Qi grinned and slipped into He Bai's arms, dodging flexibly.He Bo looked at his daughter nestled in his arms and Xia Zuo who was approaching, quickly put away his drawings, and said with a gentle smile, "Please don't bump into my drawing board, thank you."

"Okay." Xia Zuo blinked at her, hugged Qian Nuo, and fished Li Qi who was nestled in He Bai's arms with one hand.

In just a moment, the children's laughter filled the whole room.
