TGLC Chapter 41.1

Chongchong made a promise with Zhuzhu to go to her house to play the next day.

So the little girl waited at home early the next morning. Zhuzhu, who had woken up very early, was playing in the living room while waiting for Chongchong.

Chongchong and the others arrived around 9 o’clock.

After entering the house, Yan Zhen couldn’t help but complain, “The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Just getting out of the car and going upstairs has made me sweat all over.”

Xie Qingyu nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, “Indeed, I don’t even want to go out now.”

As soon as Chongchong arrived, Zhuzhu immediately pulled him over to help her assemble her Lego bricks.

Hearing her mother’s words, Little Zhuzhu, who was holding building blocks, said, “Mom, I have a good suggestion that will guarantee you won’t feel hot.”

“What?”

Zhuzhu said with a smile, “Let’s go swimming at the swimming pool. It’s very cool there.”

Swimming pool?

Xie Qingyu shook her head, clearly not wanting to go at all: “I don’t want to go. It’s so hot; going out would be torture.”

Zhuzhu said, “Swimming is so refreshing!”

Zhuzhu wanted to go swimming, and Chongchong, hearing this, said, “Then let’s go swimming another day.”

Zhuzhu: “Swimming is the perfect activity in this hot weather.”

Since the children wanted to go, Yan Zhen naturally agreed: “Okay.”

Upon hearing Aunt Yan’s words, Zhuzhu immediately replied, “Mom, we have three votes, and you have one. You know whose vote to take, right?”

Xie Qingyu: “?”

Did she say to vote?

Yan Zhen then said, “Since the children want to go, then let them go. Anyway, the summer vacation is so long, so they are always idle. They’re bored at home, so it’s good for them to learn to swim and get some exercise.”

Because Zhuzhu was too young before, Xie Qingyu hadn’t agreed even if she wanted to go. Now she’s over four years old, not too old, not too young, so learning to swim is fine.

But booking a family trip is still a good idea.

Xie Qingyu thought about it for a moment and then reluctantly agreed.

“Alright… Let’s go when it’s not so hot.”

“We should have gone when it was hot!” Zhuzhu exclaimed excitedly.

“We went straight downstairs, got in the car, and parked it in the parking lot below the swimming pool. It wasn’t too hot there.”

“Besides, it’s hot on the way to your shop, too. Why are you afraid to go to the swimming pool?”

What Zhuzhu said seemed to make some sense.

She definitely needed to go to her shop every few days; going to the shop and going to the swimming pool seemed almost the same.

Taking her there when she had some free time didn’t seem like a bad idea.

Xie Qingyu thought for a moment and said, “Okay then, I’ll take you to the swimming pool when I have time in a few days. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone swimming.”

Zhuzhu couldn’t help but retort to her mother’s words: “Mom, you’re such a lazybones! It’s not that you don’t want to go out; you clearly don’t want to take us to the swimming pool. But you’re very diligent when you go to the shop.”

Xie Qingyu: “…Of course, that’s Mom’s business.”

Now, looking at the daily transaction history in her bank account, Xie Qingyu sometimes regretted not discovering this wonderful skill of hers sooner.

Zhuzhu: “But you wouldn’t be able to open this shop without me.”

“So, can you please me a little more?”

Xie Qingyu: “Am I not pleasing you enough?”

Zhuzhu shook her little head.

Xie Qingyu: “…Your dad is good to you, so go find your dad.”

Zhuzhu’s little face fell: “Then forget it. Dad isn’t as good to me as you are.”

“So, am I just a little darling that nobody wants to please?” Little Zhuzhu suddenly started to question her life.
