Chapter 93: Want to act like a spoiled child in front of my wife
Shi Xiaoai was helpless when she saw Cheng Lin pointing his spearhead at Cheng Yang.
She reached out and pulled him over, saying sternly, "Don't get angry at your brother. He has no right to get involved in this. He's a soldier, how can you let him get involved in business? Do you want him to beat up Shi Daxi? Or to take down that stall over there?"
Although Shi Xiaoai's voice was not loud, her tone was not very good, and it could be seen that she was really angry.
Cheng Linchong lost his temper with his brother because he was furious and also because he had something to say at the moment, so he didn't think too much about it when he said it.
But when he heard Xiao Ai's reminder, he suddenly realized that his brother was a soldier, and a soldier with the title of hero.
By getting too involved in family matters, is he trying to make his brother make mistakes?
Cheng Lin almost broke out in a cold sweat and immediately realized that he was wrong.
He quickly said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I was wrong. I didn't think too much about this."
Cheng Yang didn't say anything, but his expression was stern. It was obvious that Cheng Lin's words had really touched his heart, and he himself thought so too.
Seeing him like this, Shi Xiaoai was really afraid that he would interfere again without her knowledge, so she simply pulled him out of the kitchen.
She pulled Cheng Yang back to the room and said to him, "I neglected it before. Let's set a rule now."
Cheng Yang looked at her, his eyes full of helplessness: "Why are you setting up rules again? Don't think too much, I won't do anything rash."
Shi Xiaoai shook her head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's set the rules first. From now on, you are not allowed to interfere with my business unless I ask you for help.
Likewise, if you don't mention your work, I won't get involved. Let's each do our own thing in our respective fields and not interfere with each other's careers. Do you think this is okay?"
Cheng Yang did not answer immediately, but asked: "Then if you encounter difficulties, will you ask me for help?"
Shi Xiaoai answered very straightforwardly: "Of course I will if there is something I can't solve. We are a family, who else can I turn to if not you?
The same goes for you. If you encounter something that you can't solve or something that makes you unhappy, you can tell me. Even if I can't help, at least I can be your emotional trash can and listen to you.
Cheng Yang hugged her, rested his chin on her hair, and said, "You are not a trash can."
"Of course I'm not a trash can." Shi Xiaoai hit him and then broke free.
"Okay, let's make it a deal! Shi Laoer's family can't do anything to me, I can handle it. You sleep well tonight and leave peacefully tomorrow. Leave the house to me."
Cheng Yang hugged her again, and then whispered, "I suddenly don't want to leave."
As he said this, he hugged her tightly, buried his face in her hair and remained silent for a long time.
Shi Xiaoai has actually been feeling a little depressed these days.
She also noticed the man's low mood.
It was just because that family suddenly showed up to cause trouble that neither of them had the energy to care about their emotions.
Seeing Cheng Yang like this, she reached out and hugged him, then gently comforted him like she was comforting a child: "Don't be sad, you won't be gone for a few days. Aren't you going to be back next Saturday? Go to school well, we'll wait for you at home."
Cheng Yang hasn't been coaxed like this since he started elementary school.
At this moment, being hugged and coaxed by my wife, the feeling is both novel and indescribably pleasant.
He suddenly didn't want to hide his emotions anymore and wanted to act coquettishly in front of his wife.
He raised his head, looked into her eyes and said, "Then you must let me stay in your room when I come back."
His eyes were deep, and he wanted to see into Shi Xiaoai's heart.
Shi Xiaoai's face became hot again, but this time she did not avoid it. Instead, she nodded and said, "Okay."
A smile suddenly broke out on Cheng Yang's face, and at that moment he seemed to become dazzling.
Even Shi Xiaoai couldn't help but be infected by his joy, and began to look forward to the day that had not yet come.
When the two people walked out of the house, Wang Xiaofeng had already picked up Mingrui and Mingxi from home.
Obviously she felt that the atmosphere at home was not good and wanted these two little guys to come back to mediate.
The two little ones were taken out to play by their grandma for the whole day today, and they were definitely the group's favorites.
Whether in the office or visiting households with grandma, everyone who sees them expresses their love for them.
From time to time, someone would stuff delicious food into their hands.
Originally, Xiao Ai's family was quite famous in Yunhe Lane, and twins were relatively rare in that era. Mingrui and Mingxi were so good-looking, well-behaved and polite, who would not want to tease them?
So, at this time, the two little guys were almost exhausted.
When they saw their father and mother, the two children ran over and hugged them one by one, chattering about their "experience" of the day.
Those words can be summed up into one meaning -
It’s nice that grandma takes them out to play, but we won’t go next time. Those people always pinch their faces.
Mingxi even turned her head to the side to let her mother see if her little face was red from being touched.
The child's aggrieved look made everyone around him laugh.
At that time, people didn’t particularly understand child psychology. Everyone felt that this was a rather amusing thing, and some even thought that Mingxi, who was complaining, was particularly cute.
Shi Xiaoai doesn't think so.
In her previous life, her brother's daughter was about the same age as Mingrui and Mingxi are today. When she was at home, she often saw her sister-in-law flipping through some parenting books.
She also learned a little bit through what she saw and heard.
At least she knows that children also have independent personalities and their wishes need to be respected.
Of course she knew that Aunt Liu meant well, but Xiao Ai had already included finding a suitable kindergarten in her plan.
The next day, Xiao Ai did not set up the stall early as usual.
She took Mingxi, Mingrui and Kaikai to send Cheng Yang off.
Although Mingxi Mingrui knew that his father was going to school, the child did not have a deep understanding of things that had not happened.
It was not until they saw their father carrying his luggage, picking up his backpack and about to go out that the two children realized that their father was about to leave and were completely dumbfounded.
Over the past few days, they have developed a deep relationship with their father and have completely regarded him as a member of the family.
Seeing that their father was really going to leave the house, they didn’t know who started crying first, but soon the two little ones both started crying.
She cried so sincerely and at the top of her lungs that no one could persuade her to stop. She just held onto Cheng Yang's thighs and refused to let go.
Even Cheng Yang, a tough man, had his eyes red from the crying of the two children.
He stood there, touching the two children's heads, without moving.
Seeing that the father and his two sons were about to hug each other and cry, Shi Xiaoai felt helpless.
She didn't care about the discomfort at this moment and could only push these people away quickly.
Her push made the two children even more panicked.
Mingxi screamed sharply: "Daddy, don't go!" "I won't let Daddy go!"
Mingrui also whimpered non-stop, hugged Cheng Yang's legs, and called "Dad" repeatedly, his voice so sad.
The two kids were crying so hard early in the morning that all the neighbors were shocked.
When they came over and saw this situation, they all gathered around and asked questions.
They didn't tell anyone about Cheng Yang going to school. After all, they weren't very familiar with the neighbors, so they didn't want to tell everyone about it.
Even this morning, they had originally planned to leave quietly without saying too much to those around them. For this reason, the couple had deliberately left home early.
Who would have thought that the two kids were so incompetent that they made the whole alley know about the incident.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering and the road was about to be blocked, Shi Xiaoai felt that this was not a solution.
She snatched the luggage from Cheng Yang's hand and put it aside, then pulled Mingxi, who was hugging Cheng Yang's thigh, into his arms, and then picked up Mingrui and put him in his other hand.
The two children hugged their father's neck and continued to sob. Cheng Yang's heart was broken by the crying of these two precious kids. He didn't care about anything else and just stood there and comforted them softly.
Shi Xiaoai didn't care about the conversation between father and son. She picked up the travel bag, pulled Kaikai's hand, and pushed Cheng Yang out of the alley.
Kaikai was just confused by the crying of his two little nephews/nieces.
He is the youngest in the family. How could he have ever seen anyone cry like that?
So he could only stand aside and watch helplessly, not even knowing how to comfort An Wen.
Only when my sister-in-law pulled me did I suddenly react. I picked up the food I brought for my brother and jogged out of the encirclement.
The few of them left under the escort of everyone in the alley. Even after they walked a long way, they could still see the crowd that had followed them out of the alley to watch.
The two children kept crying until they reached the bus station, and finally calmed down.
Mingxi cried until her voice became hoarse, while Mingrui kept hiccuping.
Both of them looked listless, but they held their father's neck tightly.
Cheng Yang ran all the way with the two children in his arms, and now he had no intention of putting them down.
His face was tense, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very serious.
But her hands protected the two children well, holding them in her arms.
Shi Xiaoai took a few breaths, then put her luggage aside and reached out to pick up the child.
Knowing that they were really going to be separated this time, the two little guys started crying again.
Mingrui was fine, but Mingxi held on to his father's neck and refused to let go.
Cheng Yang couldn't control his tears anymore and fell.
He buried his face in his daughter's head, kissed her hair hard, and didn't dare to look up for a long time.
Shi Xiaoai was a little sad at first, but when she saw how close the father and daughter were, all her sadness disappeared and she felt so angry that she wanted to laugh.
How come she didn't know this man was so clingy before?
She pulled Mingxi out of the man's arms without any hesitation.
Seeing that she was about to shout, he glared at her and raised his hands high.
The situation was obvious - if you cry again, you will get a slap in the face!
No matter how much Mingxi cried, she was clear-headed. She knew very well that if she angered her mother at this moment, she would definitely suffer the consequences.
Then the crying stopped abruptly.
"You wait for the bus here, we'll go first!" Shi Xiaoai stuffed the luggage into Cheng Yang's hands and was about to leave with the children.
Cheng Yang grabbed her and said, "Won't you wait with me?"
There was a strong sense of grievance in his voice.
Shi Xiaoai turned around and saw that the man looked like an abandoned animal, his eyes filled with shock and reluctance, and she was so angry that her stomach was cramping.
She slapped him without hesitation and said, "You'll be back next week!"
Only then did Cheng Yang react.
Yes, he is not going back to the army, he is just going to school and can even take leave to go home on weekends.
Only then did he realize that he had been distracted by his daughter and son's crying.
Cheng Yang smiled a little embarrassedly, squatted down and kissed the two children on the face, then touched Kaikai's head and told him a few words to be obedient.
After that, he didn't dare to say anything more to Shi Xiaoai. He just waved his hand and signaled them to go first.
Shi Xiaoai took the children away.
She walked all the way to the tea stall and could still feel the man's gaze staring at her from behind.
At this moment, she felt a little melancholy.
There were still many customers at the stall today, but the number of people buying stone buns was much lower than yesterday. Most of those who stayed to eat chose the braised pork rice, and some also had the braised egg.
Shi Xiaoai took a special look and found that most of the people who came to eat today were new faces, and there were not many regular customers.
Especially Uncle Kong, who comes here almost every day, but is not seen at this moment.
Seeing her looking at the customer's table, Wang Xiaofeng smiled secretly and said, "Uncle Kong bought so much food yesterday, probably enough for his family to eat for several days. He definitely won't come today."
As he spoke, Xiao Ai also started laughing.
"Remember, next time Uncle Kong comes, give him a bottle of our newly made pickles, just for him to try. Our business was booming yesterday, thanks to his help." Shi Xiaoai said.
Wang Xiaofeng agreed immediately.
"Business across the street isn't as good today as it was yesterday. I just checked, and they only had five people come today, half as many as yesterday. And they only brought in three bamboo baskets of steamed buns. But they're still lowering the prices today. Look at those people holding cloth bags; they're all there for the discount."
Wang Xiaofeng raised her chin and pointed across the street.
Shi Xiaoai nodded, knowing that Shi Xiaomei must have been behind this.
In fact, overall their marketing methods are correct. They use discounts to attract customers, increase their visibility, seize the market, and then slowly resume normal business.
However, this method is too old-fashioned for Shi Xiaoai.
She stopped paying attention to him and stood next to Wang Xiaofeng and said, "Business at the stall won't be too busy today, so I can be alone. You can go out with Kaikai later. You don't have to go to the school gate. Let's see if there are other suitable places."
Wang Xiaofeng stood up immediately and said, "I'm going to the entrance of the hospital's family quarters."
Shi Xiaoai was speechless for a while.
The hospital family quarters can be said to be the largest customer base for their two stalls. Even people who don’t go for breakfast will come here to eat.
The reason why Xiaofeng chose that place was to avenge what happened to Daxi and the others yesterday when they were standing in front of their stall and shouting!
I didn't realize that this girl has such a strong desire for revenge.
only--
There's no need, there's really no need.
"Go back and push out the cart at home, then go to the bus station with Kaikai. Pack some tea eggs and some stone buns of both flavors, and try selling them over there." She simply pointed the way.
Wang Xiaofeng thought about it and felt that there were quite a lot of people at the bus station, especially those who were reversing their cars at the station. It was impossible for them to run a long way to buy breakfast without waiting for the bus.
These people can also be considered potential customers.
She agreed immediately.
After sending the two men away, Shi Xiaoai took advantage of the fact that there were not many new guests and called the two precious children to sit next to her.
One person poured them a glass of boiled water and asked them to drink it slowly, then took out two tea eggs and cracked them open for the kids to peel.
The two children were exhausted after crying just now. Now they were sitting with their heads drooped and their eyes drooped, as if they had no strength left.
At this moment, the 100-watt light bulb hanging above the shed suddenly shook twice and then went out.
Everyone eating inside exclaimed.
The weather was a bit gloomy today, and the shed had no windows. Once the lights went out, the whole shed became pitch black.
Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked outside together.
"The power is out?"
"I don't think so? I see the light in the tent across the way is on."
"That's the hospital's line, it's different from the one here."
"Let's go out and take a look."
Shi Xiaoai also followed everyone out of the shed.
Seeing that everything around was normal except for the lights in their shed, Shi Xiaoai had a bad feeling in her heart.
