Chapter 442 Business is never easy
"I feel like none of them are easy to do."
Si Hai, holding an umbrella, walked beside Xu Yiyi and said, "Business is never easy!"
The little boy sighed like a grown-up, and then Xu Pinghai carried him onto the boat.
The ink sea churns, and the night rain pours down.
Even a good-natured kid like Sanchuan was amused by this.
The small boat was repeatedly tossed up and down between the crests and troughs of the waves, one after another. Even though the hands were tightly gripping the boat, the boat was still repeatedly thrown up and down.
My buttocks hurt terribly from being hit.
"Hahahaha, Third Brother, look at me, look at me!"
In the dim light, Sihai clung tightly to Xu Anyang like a fat octopus.
No matter how big the storm, it was still a lot of fun.
It was tough on Xu Anyang. His butt was already flying back and forth in the air, and with the added weight of Sihai, his butt only hurt more from being slammed.
Fortunately, the pain didn't last long before the small boat docked on the river.
"What kind of weather is this?" Xu Anyang carefully put Sihai back on the ground and pretended to rub his butt several times.
Sihai, holding the umbrella handle, moved slowly like a small mushroom.
"Yi-yi, you go up first, I'll stop the boat."
Seeing that she was holding Wu Yuan, Xu Pinghai quickly opened his umbrella and handed it to her, saying, "Don't let Wu Yuan get wet."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi subconsciously looked at Wu Yuan, who was being held in her arms with a baby carrier.
Before leaving, I wrapped myself in a small blanket, and even on a rainy night like this, I felt warm and cozy.
The baby was nestled in her arms, sucking on his little hand with his round eyes wide open.
He met Xu Yiyi's gaze and immediately forced a smile.
"Go home."
Xu Yiyi pinched his little face and whispered something to him.
Sanchuan followed behind with a look of utter despair, constantly rubbing his buttocks.
"It's so cold! I feel like the roadside weeds will be covered in frost when I wake up tomorrow morning."
"It's not that exaggerated. It won't be so cold after the rain stops."
Xu Anyang hunched his shoulders and took out the box containing mung bean cakes. The group moored the boat and then went home.
……
"I'll watch over Wuyuan for a while, then I'm going to take a shower."
Xu Yiyi shouted at the top of her lungs in the room.
No matter how I try to coax the child to sleep, he won't fall asleep before it's bedtime, and I end up sweating all over myself.
She glanced at Wu Yuan, who was sitting on the bed full of energy, and was impressed.
"Big sister, you have to hurry!" Sanchuan and Sihai were playing around with each other on the bed, hugging their pillows, when they were suddenly called over to look at the big fat boy.
After watching their eldest sister leave the house, Sanchuan and Wuyuan exchanged a glance.
Then he climbed onto the bed and carried the child away.
"Come quickly from all corners of the world."
Sanchuan hoisted Wuyuan back to his and Sihai's room with a heavy thud.
"Hahaha..."
Sihai jumped up suddenly, "Third Brother, why did you carry Wuyuan over here?"
"Hurry up and play with Wuyuan, or he'll start crying again."
Sanchuan kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and carried Wuyuan's clothes to the middle of the bed.
"Oh! Cloth tiger, I'll go get it."
As if afraid that Wu Yuan would start crying, Si Hai quickly jumped off the bed and ran to Wu Yuan's room with his older sister to get his cloth tiger.
Little Gobuchi's big eyes were filled with doubt.
In no time, the cloth tiger became useless.
Unable to see her older sister, Wu Yuan began to whine and cry. Her round eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked really pretty.
"Hey! Big sister's going to take a shower, if you keep acting cute I'll hit you!" Sihai playfully slapped Wuyuan's chubby bottom with her little hand.
To everyone's surprise, Wu Yuan burst into a howl as soon as he finished speaking.
Sanchuan, as if facing a formidable enemy, glared at Sihai before carrying Wuyuan out the door.
Outside, the wind and rain were raging, and everything was pitch black, making it even more frightening.
She cried even louder once she was outside the house.
"Waaaaah—"
Wuyuan stood upright in Sanchuan's arms, struggling and crying loudly.
"Snowball~ Snowball is here..."
Sanchuan was sweating profusely, carrying Wuyuan and pacing back and forth.
Snowball, the "nanny," was even more anxious, pacing back and forth around Sanchuan's legs and meowing incessantly.
Sihai noticed that he kept turning his head away and dared not look at the other side of the courtyard, so he quickly came out with a candle in hand.
Xu Yiyi knew this was how it would happen, and immediately ran out after washing herself clean.
Upon hearing the commotion, Gouyuan immediately opened his arms and went over.
"You're so stingy! Can't you even play with your brothers for a little while?"
Xu Yiyi said irritably, "In the past few months, Wu Yuan has gone from being a super clingy crybaby to a less clingy crybaby."
I thought I wouldn't be able to cry while taking a shower.
The night rain tapped against the window. Wu Yuan was curled up in her arms. He only said a few words to her before he lowered his mouth, his eyes reddening. He looked so aggrieved!
Xu Yiyi chuckled and touched his chin.
Just then, a sudden gust of wind ripped off the roof tiles, and a crisp cracking sound came from under the eaves.
Two or three pieces of green tile fell from a height and splashed on the stone slabs in the courtyard.
The child's little mouth was still pouting in grievance, but he was stunned by the sudden sound.
"Sanchuan, go inside quickly."
Xu Yiyi immediately realized what was happening and pulled Sanchuan back into the house.
"Miss?"
Sanchuan tilted his head, his mouth agape in surprise.
"Didn't the old man say he had taken precautions?"
Because they spend most of their daytime in restaurants, the villagers help take care of anything that happens on the island.
For example, Ah Da came yesterday to help them with the roof protection.
"The wind is too strong, isn't it normal for a few pieces to fall down?"
Xu Yiyi said it without much concern.
But after closing the doors and windows of the two children's room, he carefully checked everything, went into the storeroom to look at the chickens in the coop and the dairy goats, before taking Wuyuan back to his own room.
The candlelight flickered gently in the room, casting the shadows of the brother and sister on the wall.
"Lie down!"
Xu Yiyi said a few words and then lay down on the bed. Wu Yuan immediately crawled onto her like a little worm.
She was patting Wu Yuanyuan's round head while lost in thought.
When she came to her senses from her chaotic thoughts, she looked down and realized that the child in her arms had fallen into a deep sleep.
Her face, which had been looking aggrieved just moments before, was now serene and beautiful, with her long eyelashes casting soft shadows on her tender cheeks.
"Kids are so good, they can fall asleep so easily."
How enviable!
Xu Yiyi unconsciously softened her breathing and very slowly and carefully placed the little baby lying on her back onto the bed.
When she gently withdrew her fingertips, she paused in the air for a moment to make sure there was no sign of being disturbed before tucking him into the special soft quilt embroidered with a little tiger head.
Wu Yuan didn't know what sweet dream he was having, he unconsciously smacked his lips, then raised the corners of his mouth, and finally, enveloped in the familiar warmth, he fell into a deeper sleep.
