Chapter 14 Chapter 14 "Well, I have experience."...
"I don't know how to take care of a child." Qiao Zhuoyi said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Come back quickly and take the child away!"
"We're on the highway, we can't turn around." Qiao Yuyi decisively refused. At the same time, the two siblings, who were dangling their legs on the sofa, said in unison, "We're not children!"
After saying that, they glared at each other again——
“I’m your brother!”
“I’m your sister!”
The two children each talked about their own age, and there was stubbornness in their eyes.
Qin Yue shook her ponytail and said, "Uncle! You're wrong! Lele, you idiot!"
Qin Le curled his lips: "The good-looking one is my uncle!"
"Thank you Lele for praising my good looks." Tan Du gave each of them a small piece of cake.
"Thank you, uncle!" Qin Le picked up the spoon and started eating.
"Stupid Lele! Mom said we can't eat things from strangers!" Qin Yue stared at the cake and licked her lips.
"I, can't!" Qiao Zhuo turned around and lowered his voice.
"There's nothing I can't raise a child." Qiao Yuyi said casually, "As long as they're alive, that's all."
After a pause, he continued, "Eat less junk food."
“I can’t cook.”
"What's so difficult about cooking..."
"Yueyue said you burned the kitchen last time."
"……exaggerate!"
"Why did you send it here suddenly?" Qiao Zhuo sighed imperceptibly as he watched the little girl being recruited by Tan Du, climbing onto his lap to eat the cake and calling him "handsome uncle".
When it comes to comparing hearts, neither the child nor the mother can tell who is better.
"Why else? Lele and Yueyue miss their uncle!"
"Le Le just called someone uncle." Qiao Zhuo exposed it without any hesitation.
"..." Qiao Yuyi was silent for a moment. "Reflect on yourself. It's been a long time since you last visited them. I have to accompany your brother-in-law on a business trip, so it's not convenient for me to bring them with me."
Qiao Zhuo turned sideways and glanced behind him. The conversation had already moved on to the topic of how his sister was born a few minutes earlier than his brother. He walked into the small room and whispered, "Did something happen at my brother-in-law's company?"
"No," Qiao Yuyi said, "I'm just going to prepare for the branch office's business. I have to accompany him."
"Then his parents..."
"She's traveling," Qiao Yuyi snorted coldly, "Are you still going to ask my sister-in-law about the whereabouts of the nanny at home? Forget it, she's busy. If you don't want to take her, send her to Jingui Garden."
After saying that, he didn't give Qiao Zhuo time to react and immediately hung up the phone.
Jinguiyuan is the residential complex where their parents live, and Qiao Zhuo can't even send his children there.
"Boss Qiao?"
When Qiao Zhuo went to open the door, Tan Du was looking at him with a smile, holding a small carrot in each hand.
Tsk, if this guy lived in ancient times, he would definitely be an expert at recruiting people.
"Yueyue and Lele want to go to the market." Tan Anfu shook his wrist.
"Uncle, Yueyue wants to go!" Qin Yue rushed over and held his hand.
Qiao Zhuoyi curled his fingers and clenched his little hand. He looked over and saw Qin Le hiding behind Tan Du. He whispered, "Le Le, I want to go."
"Okay, go." Qiao Zhuoyi stretched out his other hand.
Qin Le shrank behind Tan Du.
Tan Du smiled and said, "I also want to go see how Xiao Lu and Zhou Jue are doing. Let's go together."
Qiao Zhuo put his hands in his pockets and walked in front holding Qin Yue's hand.
It wasn't awkward at all with the two kids around, especially Qin Yue. The little girl was outgoing and didn't hesitate to ask for anything she wanted.
He bought double the toys they asked for, but refused to buy popsicles.
Qin Yue curled her lips and started to howl.
Qiao Zhuo looked at her and said, "Pretend."
"My uncle is bad!" Qin Yue said angrily.
Qiao Zhuo raised the doll in his hand and said, "When you bought this, you said, 'Uncle is the best in the world.'"
The little girl was embarrassed and stomped her feet and ran to grab Tan Du's hand. Tan Du squatted down and said with a smile: "Your uncle means that this popsicle is not delicious. There is a place upstairs that has a particularly delicious one. He will buy it for you."
"Yeah!" Qin Yue turned around and hugged Qiao Zhuoyi.
"When did I..." Qiao Zhuo glared at him.
"Freshly baked egg cake——fragrant egg cake——"
Tan Du's voice was drowned out by the hawking. Qiao Zhuo frowned and asked, "What?"
Tan Du leaned close to him, his lips almost touching his ear: "The TD stall is in front. The ice cream is made by Zhou Jue. Children can eat it."
His ears were burning uncontrollably, so Qiao Zhuo pushed him away and walked forward quickly, holding Qin Yue's hand.
"Boss Qiao? Why are you here?" Xiao Lu looked behind him, "Brother Tan! You're here too!"
"And Lele and I!" Qin Yue jumped and shouted, and pulled Lele along.
"Oh, why are there two more children!" Xiao Lu leaned out from behind the stall.
"So cute!" Zhou Jue rushed out and pinched the two children's arms. The children's flesh was soft and tender, squeezing out from between her fingers, so white and tender that it softened everyone's heart. "Whose children are you?"
"My uncle's house!" Qin Yue pointed at Qiao Zhuoyi.
"Yes!" Qin Le nodded heavily, leaned towards Qiao Zhuo's leg, and squeezed his small hand into his palm.
Qiao Zhuo glanced at him and said, "Two ice creams."
After a pause, he gestured towards Zhou Jue: "Little one."
"Understood!" Zhou Jue blinked. "What flavor would you like, kids?"
Qin Yue: “happy fruit!”
Qin Le: "Chocolate!"
Zhou Jue: "Wait a moment—"
Xiao Lu: "Zhou Jue, stop pinching me! I'm scared..."
"Yueyue has the same taste as you."
Tan Du's voice hit Qiao Zhuo's ears, and he took a step back as if he was burned, just avoiding the ice cream handed to him by Zhou Jue.
"Eh? Boss Qiao, aren't you going to eat?" Zhou Jue asked.
"I'll eat it." Tan Du reached out to take it.
"I'll eat it!" Qiao Zhuoyi quickly snatched it away. "I paid for it!"
Tan Du withdrew his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his hand: "If I don't pay, will I have anything to eat?"
"That's rare—" Xiao Lu interrupted, "Brother Tan, you rarely eat anything every day, yet you actually asked for food today. Did you enjoy your lunch?"
"I ate it," Tan Du said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, ask Boss Qiao."
"Boss Qiao, did you have lunch with Brother Tan at noon?" Xiao Lu immediately turned his gaze away.
Tan Du interrupted: "It's not a table to eat at."
Qiao Zhuo glared at him and ate, but only half the portion he'd had. It seemed his lack of taste affected his appetite. Since he rarely asked for food...
He nodded: "I ate it."
"That's pretty good." Xiao Lu handed Tan Du a cup.
"I want some pistachios too," said Tan Du.
"No more," Xiao Lu spread his hands, "just the last two cups."
Tan Du turned around and said, "Boss Qiao, how about a double spell?"
"No. You have no taste..." Qiao Zhuo stopped talking when he saw Tan Du put his index finger on his lips.
His pants were pulled, and he lowered his head. Qin Yue pointed at the box that she and Qin Le had exchanged half of, and shouted crisply: "Uncle, share it!"
"No." Qiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows.
"Hmph!" The two children turned their heads away angrily at the same time.
Zhou Jue was shocked. "This is it! I actually saw the word 'cute' on Boss Qiao. Hiss—what the hell!"
Xiao Lu took back the ice pack and whispered, "I woke you up, why are you still looking at people with your eyes closed?"
"Unless you two promise not to make noise when you go to bed tonight." Qiao Zhuoyi poked one of them in the face.
The two children looked at each other and said nothing.
Qiao Zhuo coughed lightly.
Tan Du squatted down and said, "Can you two kids help me?"
"All right--"
Tan Du got a double pinyin as he wished: "Thank you, Boss Qiao, and thank you Yueyue and Lele."
Qin Yue patted his chest: "It should be!"
Qin Le whispered back: "You're welcome."
Qiao Zhuoyi: "Boss Tan knows how to handle children."
Tan Du looked at him, hinting: "Yeah, I have experience."
Qiao Zhuoyi felt inexplicably annoyed by his gaze and prepared to go home with the two little ones.
"I'm going back to TD first," Tan Du whispered. "If a child doesn't discharge enough energy during the day, he'll definitely not sleep at night. Boss Qiao, it's best if you don't go back yet."
When Qiao Zhuo was reminded by him, and thinking that Qiao Yuyi had specially chosen the market day to send the child here, and also wanted to let the child not be bored in the house, he took him to the naughty castle again.
Until the two little ones cried out for hunger.
"What do you want to eat?" Qiao Zhuo asked.
"fries!"
"hamburger!"
"No." Qiao Zhuo replied.
"Bad uncle!"
"bad."
The market was dusty and the food at the roadside stalls was not suitable for children. Qiao Zhuo thought about it and went to the Qiaotou Restaurant to buy some white rice. He then went to the supermarket to buy some meat floss that children could eat, and paired it with a few cherry tomatoes and milk, which was a combination of meat, vegetable and soup.
The food on the blanket tray was more abundant than what was in front of the two men.
Fortunately, they were very hungry. The two children finished their food quickly before starting to be picky.
"Uncle, Yueyue wants to eat braised pork!"
"LeLe wants to eat stir-fried vegetables."
Qiao Zhuo's arms were almost broken by being shaken left and right. He caught a glimpse of stickers and hairpins all over the blanket. He covered his face with his hands and tried to poke a few holes in his ears, then fainted.
"I'll make it for you tomorrow."
"Boss Qiao?" The next morning, as soon as Qiao Zhuo got off the car with his two children, he saw Tan Du coming out of the vegetable market.
Qin Yue and Qin Le immediately rushed forward to call for help.
Qiao Zhuo's face was pale grey as he looked over quietly.
"Didn't you sleep well?" Tan Du hugged one of them in each arm and looked at him with a smile.
Extremely embarrassed.
Boss Qiao had a lot of grievances, why did he run into this person?
Fortunately, I bumped into him.
Qiao Zhuo slumped his shoulders and said, "Talk about the boss."
The tone was much weaker than usual, and one could even hear a hint of grievance.
Tan Du turned his face away, pulled the corner of his mouth, and coughed lightly: "Boss Qiao is here to buy groceries? How about I take them to TD first?"
Qiao Zhuo suddenly looked at him, his eyes like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
Tan Du moved his arms: "Yueyue Lele, have you had breakfast? Uncle has sandwiches."
"No—I'm so hungry—"
"Yeah—sandwiches!"
"Boss Qiao, I'll take you away first then?" Tan Du asked.
"Um."
As soon as Qiao Zhuo came back from buying groceries, the two of them were having fun in TD and couldn't be called up.
Tan Du smiled and said, "Just let me stay here. Xiao Lu and Zhou Jue are not here, so they can keep me company."
Qiao Zhuo nodded, entered Guiyi, and searched for recipes intensively, conducting drills without physical objects.
When it was almost lunchtime, she confidently carried her two children back to the villa. After two hours of struggle, she finally served a dish of charcoal-grilled braised pork that was unrecognizable.
Qin Yue covered her nose with one hand, grabbed Lele with the other, slid down the chair, and hid in the small room.
"Why are you running—" Qiao Zhuoyi went back to stir-fry the vegetables.
Blanket rushed in and howled at the black smoke from the kitchen.
"Don't cause trouble, master." Qiao Zhuo went over and knocked on the door of the small room.
Boom boom boom——
The doors slammed at the same time.
Qiao Zhuoyi went over and opened the door: "Why are you here?"
Tan Du squinted his eyes due to the fumes blowing in his face, and when he saw the dark face of the man in front of him, he couldn't help laughing.
