Chapter 1073: Chapter 1078: The First Time Speaking

By June, it was as hot as a furnace outside, and Qiao Duo’er spent most of her days huddled at home with the two little ones.

Since the arrival of Green Group and Tangyuan, she had never felt bored, so life felt anything but tough.

On the contrary, she wished time would slow down a bit more.

Because as the babies grew up, they wouldn’t depend on her completely anymore.

After lunch, Qiao Duo’er slept with the two little ones, and while she was in a daze, she started to hear some strange noises.

"Mommy, Mommy."

Qiao Duo’er instantly opened her eyes. In the bedroom was just her family of four; only Tangyuan and Green Group could produce such tender voices.

"Did you hear someone calling Mom?"

Tan Zhenghong bolted upright, "I heard it, it seemed like Tangyuan’s voice."

Qiao Duo’er immediately leaned over to the two children, "Call again, I was asleep just now and didn’t hear clearly."

But both kids acted as if nothing had happened, hugging their toys and playing on their own.

Was it really just her imagination?

Qiao Duo’er felt a bit disappointed, "It’s okay if it wasn’t you two calling. You’re still small, you’ll talk when you grow a bit more."

"Yeah, these things can’t be rushed," Tan Zhenghong consoled.

They were only eight months old now, so it was normal for them not to be speaking yet.

As the saying goes, ’sit by three months, crawl by seven, walk by eight.’ Until now, their babies had been developing right on this schedule, occasionally even a little earlier, which showed they were perfectly normal.

No sooner had Qiao Duo’er lain down again than she heard the two little ones calling out ’Mommy’.

This time, she was sure it was the two little ones calling, and they both did.

"They can talk now!" Tan Zhenghong was also very excited.

"The first step is the hardest, now they can say ’Mom,’ and soon they’ll be saying a lot more," Qiao Duo’er smiled, her eyes creasing.

Indeed, raising children was like an adventure because one might find surprises anywhere, anytime.

Tan Zhenghong said confidently, "I’m going to teach them to call ’Dad.’ Although I didn’t experience the pain of childbirth, I’ve taken great care of them."

As long as he was at home, he was the one worried about the children, even Duo’er had to step aside.

He had devoted so much effort; why shouldn’t they call ’Dad’ as well as ’Mom’?

"I have no objections."

Qiao Duo’er raised both hands in agreement; this way, when the twins started crying later on, they would know to call their dad, and she was more than willing to be a hands-off boss.

Thus, Tan Zhenghong fell victim to Qiao Duo’er’s little scheme.

With this discovery, Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er tried their best to talk with the two children, guiding them to express their own thoughts.

Once the babies had developed the ability to communicate, they would be much easier to manage.

As the twins neared their first birthday, they could already say some simple words such as "eat," "pee," and "dog."

Besides talking, they could also walk a few steps while holding onto things.

By then, many people in town had also begun to send their congratulations.

Tan Zhenghong handed Duo’er the list of gifts: "Wife, these families will inevitably be in touch in the future; why don’t we invite them all over this time?"

"It would be rude not to invite them to the Tan Family, but the future interactions might be troublesome,"

Qiao Duo’er pouted, expressing her dislike for participating in those banquets that were nothing more than going through the motions with no real sentiment.

"Isn’t that simple? If you want to go, go; if not, just send gifts,"

Tan Zhenghong said lightly.

At most, prepare more generous gifts when not attending, and the hosts surely won’t make a fuss over it.

At this point, Qiao Duo’er could only comfort herself with these thoughts.
