"Dad, you can't do this anymore. You have to change."
"Boil the frog in warm water, let her get used to your presence, and she will subconsciously think of you in everything she does. That's when you've truly taken up residence in her heart."
"Is this reliable?" Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Ce, who was standing at his waist, with a suspicious look.
"Dad, don't look down on me. I've seen this kind of thing a lot. When I was in the palace, didn't someone use this method?"
"You won't go wrong if you trust me." Xiao Ce patted his chest and made the promise.
Looking at Xiao Ce's sincere eyes and expectations, Xiao Yi finally relented and curled his lips, "Okay, do you have anything more specific?"
"Yes, let's go to the study and I'll write everything down." Xiao Ce pointed in the direction of the study.
The two went to the study together, and Lin Shuang and the children watched curiously.
What's going on with these two people?
Just now Xiao Yi was desperate, but now he is overjoyed. A man's mind is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so don't guess.
"Come on, kids, let's go catch some fish."
"Yes, mother, I like the fish you cook the best."
Xiao Jingyu happily supported him.
After hearing this, Xiao Wangshu and Xiao Nanxin went straight to get the wooden barrel.
"Little sister, let your third brother carry this. You can't lift it. Your third brother is very strong." Xiao Jingyu took the wooden barrel directly from Xiao Nanxin's hand.
Lin Shuang looked at this scene and felt that a harmonious atmosphere was surrounding her.
"Wangshu, come and get the wooden barrel in your hand."
"Mom, no need. I'm already grown up. I eat a full stomach every day. I feel like a cow. I have endless energy."
"How could you compare yourself to a cow, kid?"
The group went to the nearby lotus pond to catch fish. Seeing the crayfish everywhere, they could hardly stop drooling.
"Mom, it's a hard-shelled bug. It can pinch people."
"It's okay, just don't get close to them, let me catch them."
Lin Shuang thought that it would be enough to eat these crayfish today. There were so many of them that it was simply a paradise for shrimp lovers.
Lin Shuang, with stars in her eyes, asked the children to stand behind her while she picked up the crayfish with branches and put them into the wooden barrel one by one.
Seeing his mother happily picking up these hard-shelled insects, Xiao Jingyu also wanted to try it.
Xiao Wangshu looked for a while, then picked up a few branches from the side and handed one to each person.
"Let's go help Mom. Look at this method Mom has. We don't have to worry about them biting us."
"good."
"Mom, let us help you too."
"Okay, be careful not to get pinched."
The four of them picked up crayfish quietly.
After a while, the bucket was full.
"Let's go home. This is a delicious dish."
"Mom, is this really edible?"
"Of course you can. Don't look at them like this now. Once they are cooked, I guarantee you will eat them faster than anyone else." Lin Shuang was ready to show off her cooking skills. Crayfish is one of her favorite foods.
"Okay, I believe mom. Whatever mom says is what it is." Xiao Jingyu nodded, like a little fan.
Seeing how much the children believed in her, Lin Shuang felt that all her efforts and sincerity during this period were not in vain.
On the other side, Xiao Ce was still teaching Xiao Yi how to conquer Lin Shuang.
One is only 9 years old, the other is 25 years old. One dares to teach, the other dares to believe.
"Dad, you must first respect your stepmother and not go against her wishes and do things she doesn't like."
"Secondly, you must be gentle and considerate. You must draw your stepmother's eyebrows and wash her face every day."
"Third, you should often say words of love to your stepmother so that she knows your love for her."
"Fourth, if you encounter a love rival, don't go to your stepmother and keep asking for clarification. Even if there's clearly nothing going on between the two of you, if you start making a fuss, the relationship will become strained. If your love rival takes advantage of you later, you'll be left crying."
"You should have gotten rid of your love rival secretly without alerting your stepmother, so that she wouldn't even know that your love rival liked her."
"You're right. That's good. Xiao Ce, where did you know all this? Don't try to fool me with what you just said. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to learn this in the palace."
Xiao Yi stared at Xiao Ce quietly, without blinking, with a half-smile on his lips.
"I..." Xiao Ce knew that he could no longer hide this matter, and looked at Xiao Yi dejectedly and resentfully.
"I was kind enough to give you advice, how could you just cross the river and then burn the bridge?"
"Tell me, or I'll punish you."
"I saw it at my stepmother's place. She gave us a few books, and one of them contained a book on relationships, and it even had strategies for pursuing someone."
"Where's the book? Dad wants to take a look." Xiao Yi raised his lips and smiled.
"Dad, how could you do this?" Xiao Ce was a little exasperated.
"What's wrong with me? You are in the prime of your life studying now. Daddy thinks this kind of book is not suitable for you to read. It will easily have an impact on you. So let Daddy keep it. I will give it to you in a few years when you grow up and it's time for you to get married."
Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Yi with gritted teeth. He had no choice but to pull out a book from his pile of books.
"Daddy, you take it."
"Okay, Xiao Ce, you also want Lin Shuang to be your mother, right?"
When Xiao Yi left this sentence, he turned around and left without waiting for Xiao Ce to answer.
Only Xiao Ce was left standing there in a daze.
Do you hope so?
I think so.
Xiao Yi was in high spirits after getting the book, and anyone who saw it would say that he was in a good mood.
This was the scene Lin Shuang saw when she returned with the children.
"Shuangshuang, you're back. Are you tired? I'll get it for you."
Seeing Xiao Yi being so attentive, Lin Shuang was suddenly at a loss.
"Xiao Yi, it's okay. You don't know how to do these, so I'll do it myself." As he said this, he wanted to snatch the wooden barrel back.
Xiao Yi stretched out his hand, but Lin Shuang couldn't reach it, so she could only glare at Xiao Yi angrily. However, Xiao Yi found Lin Shuang's expression at the moment very vivid.
The two of them maintained this posture, which made the kids have wild thoughts.
Xiao Ce also came to Xiao Jingyu's side.
Leaning close to Xiao Jingyu's ear, he said, "Third brother, Dad likes stepmother, but she is angry. Should we help Dad? What if she doesn't want us anymore when she gets angry? What should we do?"
Xiao Jingyu thought that if his father made his mother angry, he should coax her, but when he heard the next sentence, that his mother would also not want them anymore, he immediately became restless.
He immediately turned to look at his eldest brother, "Brother, I don't want Mom to leave. Brother, what do you think we should do? I'll listen to you."
"We have to help them so that the stepmother won't leave."
"Um."
At this time, the corners of Xiao Ce's mouth slowly rose.
He knew that his stepmother was now his third brother's biggest weakness.
The third brother is so kind to his stepmother. With his help, the stepmother will definitely not want to leave them.
At this moment, the complacent Xiao Ce seemed to have forgotten that he was also ecstatic when he knew that Xiao Jingyu agreed to keep Lin Shuang together.
