one step away [Interstellar]

83.

Heber's education for the children can be said to be strict. The two-and-a-half-year-old child begins to recognize some Ain letters and some simple phrases every day.In addition, Heber will also teach them to learn the mother tongue of the empire.They are very talented in language, and they have been able to master many simple phrases after simply studying for a period of time.

These studies were only carried out at night when Heber was free, and Xia Zuo took them to play during the day.Compared to their obedient and obedient study in front of their gentle mother, they looked much more lively in front of Xia Zuo.After learning how to speak, Li Qi heard He Bo call Xia Zuo's name, and for a while she always followed He Bo to call Xia Zuo's name.

At the beginning, she refused to call her mother properly even with Qian Nuo, instead chasing after Xia Zuo and calling her name.Every time Heber corrected them, it was useless, because they still chose to call Xia Zuo's name after calling their mother.There was even a period of time when they refused to call Mother Hebe, but Hebe Hebe.But after being educated by Xia Zuo several times, he never dared to call He Bo like that again.

When they grow up a bit, the two babies will know that both are mothers.But because every time they wanted to hug each other, they would always call their mother, and they didn't know who they were calling, so Xia Zuo asked them to call him Shire instead.

In San Lorenzo, the parent of the child is either the mother or the father when both partners are of the same sex.And the one who gives the other half of the genes is mostly alpha, in order to show respect, it is usually called mother or father.

According to San Lorenzo, it is most appropriate for the children to call Xia Zuo's mother, but such a name cannot avoid a sense of distance.In order to distinguish Xia Zuo from He Bo and prevent the children from being unfamiliar with her, Xia Zuo asked them to call him by his nickname.

Such a title is indeed very good. Compared with Heber, the children are more attached to Xia Zuo who has taken care of them since childhood.But the consequence is also obvious, that is, in front of Xia Zuo, they will be much more lively than in front of Heber.

They would climb from the sofa to Xia Zuo's lap when she was working. Although they would not make noise to disturb Xia Zuo's work, they just wanted her to hug her.The one sitting in the arms is usually Li Qi, but Qian Nuo likes to climb onto Xia Zuo's shoulder, put his arms around her neck and ask softly, "Xiaer, when will you not work overtime?"

Because mother Heber will stay in the study for a period of time after returning home facing the optical brain, so she can't study with them.At this time, Xia Zuo would explain that his mother was working overtime.Over time, the children know that staying in front of the optical brain is overtime.

Once Xia Zuo was busy with work and didn't accompany the children to study in time. When it was time to study the next day, she found Li Qi and Chenuo nestled in her usual office chair, looking at the children on the desktop. The file, pretending to be silent.

After Xia Zuo called them several times, little Li Qi frowned and explained in a serious tone, "I'm working overtime, so I won't study today."

He Bo, who was following Xia Zuo, looked at his little daughter's expression, and instantly thought of the way Xia Zuo said this to the twins yesterday, and couldn't help but chuckle.This expression is simply Xia Zuo's most perfect replica.

Xia Zuo, who was teased by his daughter, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and said with a smile, "You are the ghost." After that, he made a promise to play with them tomorrow, and then the daughters disappeared. dissatisfaction.

They were close to Xia Zuo from the bottom of their hearts, and of course they loved their mother even more.Although Xia Zuo had to discipline them after doing something wrong, their mother would not favor them, but when something happened, it was their instinct to go to their mother as soon as possible.

Because Shire said that there is nothing wrong with being bullied and looking for her mother.

In addition to studying cultural lessons, Xia Zuo would also take them to play some educational games.For example, puzzles, building blocks, and some assembly games.Perhaps because Xia Zuo is a soldier, the toys for the children include a lot of ordnance, such as some mini warships and the assembly of mechas.

The children have infinite curiosity about these things, as long as Xia Zuo plays with them, they will be very involved.Although children of this age have boundless energy, they always fall asleep very quickly when they feel sleepy.Almost every afternoon, Xia Zuo took them to play. When they got tired from playing, the twins were almost in sync, and fell asleep on Xia Zuo's lap.

At this time, Xia Zuo would carry them back to the bed, tuck in the quilt, and let them have a nice nap.The conscientious Xia Zuo will be responsible for cleaning up the mess and tidying up the toys left by the children one by one.Of course, if the children haven't fallen asleep from exhaustion, it will be the children who will clean up the toys.

It was another afternoon like this, the twins lay side by side on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.Sitting barefoot on the blanket, Xia Zuo assembled the children's dismantled toys one by one.After Heber came out of the study, he walked towards the room where the children took a nap and played games.What came into view were the children lying on the bed, and Xia Zuo leaning against the bed.

The curtains behind him swayed gently with the wind, bringing a touch of coolness to the clear autumn day.He Bo leaned against the door, watched Xia Zuo concentrate on playing with the toy in his hand, and took a long time before he took a step, walked to her side and sat down.

"Recently, I bought a batch of warship assembly toys for them. They liked it very much. They played with them all afternoon, and now they are tired and fell asleep." Xia Zuo, who had already heard the footsteps of someone coming, after He Bo sat down beside her, He lowered his voice and said.

"Well, it's pretty good." He Bo stretched out his hand, took some of the trivial parts of the firearm, followed Xia Zuo who kept moving his hands, and said softly, "It seems that you had a good time with them."

The low-pitched words resounded amidst the sound of assembling parts, and Xia Zuo, who could no longer clearly hear Heber teasing her, said with a slight smile, "I have no selfishness, I'm just better at this kind of thing. Oh, By the way, this part is here." She said this, and she did not forget to guide Heber when she had time.

Heber fiddled with the parts in his hand, chuckled lightly, and did not speak.But alpha may be very excited because he just played with the children, and while assembling the warship in his hand, he whispered, "I have been very good at this since I was a child. Why do you come to see me when you have time? Lynn was in college at that time, and he was not at home. The only people who accompanied me were servants. They would play games with me. After my father saw it, he bought me a bunch of ordnance assembly games .”

"When I was three years old, I could assemble most of the classic ordnance." When she said this, she looked at Heber, with a look on her face that I was very powerful.

He is clearly an adult with two children, but Xia Zuo's expression looks no different from that immature major general seven years ago.Heber coughed lightly, and was not ready to take the words to praise her, but muttered softly, "Do you remember everything about when you were three years old?"

"Of course I remember. I have a very good memory." Xia Zuo continued, "Because of this reason, my father thought I was very talented. When I was three years old, I began to study and receive military training at the same time. My father was very strict. It’s been a bit hard, because if you don’t reach the training volume, you will be beaten.”

In the sound of the assembly of fine parts, the low voice of alpha sounds very clear.While Heber assembled the things in his hands, he listened attentively to what she said.

“他很严厉，就连林恩也是这么觉得的，所以每次被揍，林恩都会帮着我拦着爸爸。”那时候的林恩还是一个好哥哥，对自己幼小的妹妹十分的疼爱。

Heber didn't mind that person anymore, but when he heard that name from Xia Zuo's mouth, he still trembled a little.She responded lightly and didn't comment.

Xia Zuo turned his head, glanced at He Bo, and explained softly, "I didn't mention him on purpose... He was very good to me when I was young, but it started to change when I went to the military academy after I split. Because Lynn He is not in good health, and his father did not let him receive training because his deceased mother loved him very much. At this point, he felt that his father did not love him."

"For a while, he often told his father that he would let me inherit the title. Of course, this was an angry word, and it was impossible for his father to agree to him."

"He didn't understand why my father sent me to military school, because he was a boy and I was a girl. Even after the separation, I was an alpha. I didn't understand him at the time, because I didn't really want to go to military school." Xia Zuo turned his head, looked at He Bo, and smiled lightly.

"When you were in San Lorenzo, did you hear that after I arrived in Sass, I never went back to San Lorenzo."

"I have." Of course Heber has heard of it. Ten years ago, when she met Xia Zuo for the first time, someone told her who it was.At that time, those people took Xia Zuo as an example and told her how much a favored child Lin En was in the heart of the old Duke.Because it is unbelievable for a mediocre marquis to inherit the title when there is an alpha in the family.

They told Heber that there was no need to worry about Xia Zuo threatening her husband.

"What you heard was bad. It's not that bad. It's because I did something that made him very angry when I was in the military academy."

What is it?In my impression, Xia Zuo has always been a very well-behaved child, what can she do to make the old Duke angry.In this regard, Heber showed his curiosity.

Looking at Heber's curious eyes, Xia Zuo chose to continue talking.Xia Zuo, who was talking about himself and his father for the first time in front of people, explained with a smile, "Because when I was choosing the training base, I submitted an application to my superiors to go to the armament department of San Elensau."

"Didn't I say before that I was very good at ordnance since I was a child, so I wanted to engage in ordnance research when I was young." Xia Zuo said with a proud face, without any loss in his eyes, "If he agreed with me at that time, If I went to the Armament Department, maybe I would have been a lieutenant general long ago.”

"Hmm...probably?" Heber pondered for a while, with a smile on his face. "So, Mr. Weir is angry because of this and won't let you go home?"

"It's not that I'm not allowed to go home, it's that I don't want to go back. Because he didn't agree at the time, he threw me into SARS in a rage. In order to transfer to the logistics base, I went to the battlefield during training and was injured on purpose. " Xia Zuo said, with a slightly melancholy tone.

"I must have been in a rebellious period at that time." She finally came to such a conclusion, and continued, "But even though I was injured, my father did not agree to my transfer. I was very angry and didn't want to go home. Later For a period of time, I often didn’t pay attention to protecting myself, but because of the excellent record, I was promoted to major by accident. By the way, I also adopted a few children in Sass.”

It was because she ignored herself, attacked very fiercely, and was heroic like a lone wolf that earned her the title of "King of Hunters" in the military department.

"Amanda is one of them. She is five years younger than me, so I let her join the army. Later, because she went too far, she rushed into the range of the Queen Mother and almost wiped out the entire army. It was Amanda who rescued her. I..."

"My mother was very angry that time. When I came to Sass, she said that if I played like this again, I would take off my military uniform. But when I thought about it, there were still a bunch of people eating with me, so I just endured it." Xia Zuo smiled lightly. He gave a sigh, looked at Heber, and said with a smile, "Now that I think about it, maybe they are so lively and they really followed me."

She is far from being as gentle, stable and mature as she seems on the surface.

Heber followed her gaze, looked at the twins lying on the bed, and smiled.She assembled the last part in her hand, shook it in her hand, and said softly, "Maybe...not necessarily."

"Huh? Not bad, the team is over. Have you played with them recently?" Xia Zuo installed the warship in his hand, looked at the complete ordnance in Heber's hand, and said with a smile.

"Well... no, I think you need to know something, I also knew how to play these games when I was a child." Under Xia Zuo's surprised expression, He Bo blinked at Xia Zuo with a mischievous expression on his face.

The author has something to say: Let’s talk about the history of growth.

What the old duke thinks is that even if Xia Zuo doesn't inherit the family business, no matter what gender he is, he can handle his life freely, but Xia Zuo is an alpha and has the talent to not inherit his father's business. It's really a pity

The next chapter is Heber.
