PDLP Chapter 162 Coaxing the Children
Chapter 162 Coaxing the Children
Er'er was guarding the stall with a few children, and Xu Yiyi took some time to go to the restaurant.
The pedestrians who left the pier looked listless.
The sun rises early in summer, and the sky gradually brightens at the hour of Yin.
Most of the families on the island get up at that time. At this hour, those who go out to sea and those who go to the sea to catch seafood have probably been busy all morning.
Most people in the town still had sleepy eyes.
He walked on the road looking listless.
Xu Yiyi crossed two streets and came to the back door of the restaurant. As soon as she opened the door, Lao Lu came out of the room with his hair loose.
"I thought we were being robbed again."
Lao Lu yawned, his eyes were red and he looked very tired.
Xu Yiyi could still smell the alcohol on him when she got closer.
"Again? Was there a thief last night?"
Xu Yiyi noticed his wording.
"Oh! Two little thieves came in in the middle of the night to steal food. They were just poor little beggars."
Lao Lu sighed. These kids heard that a new restaurant had opened in town and came here to join in the fun.
I was wondering if I could sneak some food out at night to satisfy my craving.
Lao Lu didn't bother with them and just drove them away.
After being woken up by these young boys, Lao Lu couldn't sleep either.
I couldn't help but drink a little wine.
I've only just slept until this moment.
"You should come clean from now on. Two aunts from my clan will come to work later. Don't expose your chest and back all day long."
Xu Yiyi reminded him that he had asked about this on the way back last night.
Aunt Li is unwilling to come because Aunt Asi has to take care of two elderly people at home, and Sister Honglian is going to get married at the end of the year.
There were only a few months left, so Xu Yiyi found four more aunts in the clan.
With all the kids at home, I can still manage.
Lao Lu looked down and said, "At least I'm wearing something. Look at the dock, many of the people going out to sea are naked."
Lao Lu retorted, but still obediently tidied his clothes.
"That's different. The people at the dock do manual labor, but we run a restaurant to entertain customers, so our image is very important."
Xu Yiyi glared at Lao Lu.
"If you don't obey, I'll have to consider whether I can let you stay here."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lao Lu instantly became as obedient as a cat.
"You just threaten me."
He mumbled something and clicked his tongue before entering the house, which made Wu Yuan laugh.
"As long as it works."
Xu Yiyi sneered and walked into the lobby.
As soon as the door was opened, the uncles and aunts in the clan brought in the fish.
They were all fresh fish, shrimps, crabs and the like, and Xu picked them one by one.
It was delivered right after it came out of the water, and the rest would be sent to the dock only after she had picked them out.
The ingredients were delivered and four aunts from the clan came over.
Carrying two loads of vegetables.
As soon as the sun comes up, everyone starts to get busy.
Pick and wash vegetables, kill and wash fish.
The fish balls sold very well yesterday and many customers ordered fish ball soup.
Xu Yiyi has to make the fish balls first.
"Big sister! I brought some fish."
Sihai grabbed Duoyu's little hand and rushed in.
"Duoyu, look, this is my eldest sister's restaurant. Isn't it huge?"
Sihai spread his chubby arms and spoke exaggeratedly.
Duoyu had a look of curiosity on her face. Yesterday she heard that the restaurant opened by Sihai's eldest sister had opened, and she wanted to come and take a look.
But the elder sister said that the restaurant was very busy when it opened, and she would be in the way and affect other people's business.
So I waited until this morning before I dared to come here.
Although there were no customers in the restaurant at this time, it was still very lively.
The noise of work in the backyard never stopped. Duoyu was pulled up and down, back and forth by Sihai before he stopped.
"Second sister is about to close the stall, let me come over first."
Sihai raised his little head and said something to Xu Yiyi, then ran over like a madman and kissed Wuyuan on the stone table hard.
"ah……"
"Fat brother, Duoyu, come and see my brother. Isn't he cute?"
Sihai took Wuyuan out of the cradle.
Sihai smiled, and Wuyuan lay in her arms and cried loudly.
Duoyu had never been close to such a small child, and she felt that Wuyuan's hands and feet were so small.
Wu Yuan is a chubby kid with big, white eyes.
I don’t know if it’s because Duoyu stared at him so hard.
The child grinned and couldn't help crying.
"Don't cry!"
Duoyu shouted out of the blue, causing Wuyuan to cry even harder.
"Don't cry, stop it now."
Duoyu looked a little anxious, and Sihai hugged Wuyuan, who was lying on his shoulder, in his arms.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
Sihai held Wuyuan in his arms and walked slowly, being very tolerant towards Wuyuan who was crying in grievance.
"Duoyu, you can't yell at him like that. Wuyuan is still a child and he can't understand you. If you yell so angrily, he'll get even more scared and cry even louder."
Wu Yuan sobbed softly, his little mouth closed, looking pitiful.
"Don't coax him all the time, he's too delicate."
Duoyu looked at Sihai, who was only four years old, and was very skilled in coaxing his younger brother.
"But my brother is only a few months old. If I don't coax him now, when will I?"
Sihai pursed his lips, glanced at Duoyu, and turned around.
……
It looked like the two children were about to quarrel.
Xu Yiyi came from the lobby to the backyard.
"Doyu, come here."
Duoyu looked at Sihai, then at Xu Yiyi, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.
"Let me tell you, Wu Yuan is only five months old. He often can't control his crying. Even if you scold him, he will still cry. It's better to coax him a little. See, isn't he smiling again?"
Xu Yiyi pointed at Wuyuan.
She was lying in Sihai's arms and smiling happily.
The tears on my face haven't been wiped away yet, and my mood is sometimes bright and sometimes gloomy.
"When Wu Yuan grows up a little bit and can understand, let him cry if he wants to. Leave him alone. When he stops, we can talk to him about it."
Duoyu sounded a little aggrieved, but just nodded without saying anything.
Looking at Xu Yiyi's gentle appearance, she suddenly wanted to know.
Why does she only get scolded and beaten when she cries?
As a result, when I saw Wu Yuan crying just now, I subconsciously wanted to yell at him.
In fact, you are also worried that Wu Yuan will be scolded and beaten as well, right?
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing! Sit down and eat some freshly made fish balls."
Xu Yiyi rubbed Duoyu's head.
Two bowls of fish balls were brought out from the kitchen.
Look at the two kids sitting in a row.
Wu Yuan lay back in the cradle, sucking his little hands and drooling uncontrollably.
"Yi Yi, you have such a good temper. I didn't have the patience to coax a child before."
The aunt who was killing the fish looked at Xu Yiyi with a smile.
"Yes, we are all busy. If the child wants to cry, let him cry. When he gets tired of crying and knows that no one is watching him, he will stop crying."
