Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Xu Wenli was really curious and asked to meet the boss.

"It's a coincidence you mentioned. My eldest sister is out."

Xu Wenli raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at the counter with interest.

The child who came in to greet them was standing on a small stool, fiddling with the abacus beads with his chubby little hands without even raising his head.

The abacus was bigger than half his body, but the beads clattered as he moved them, indicating that he was seriously keeping accounts.

"Little shopkeeper."

He walked to the counter and tapped it twice with his fingers. "Please tell them..."

"Unfortunately, my eldest sister is not here."

Sihai interrupted him crisply without even raising his eyelids.

With a push of his little hand, he put the abacus beads back into place, then he looked up.

Her round eyes were distinctly black and white, and she put on an air of pretentiousness: "If you want to book a table, you can ask my second sister for the same."

Sihai said this, pointing to Er'er who was having dinner with his master not far away.

"Or maybe it's the third brother?"

The child raised his chin and saw Sanchuan pouring tangerine peel water from the teapot into the child's mouth.

When he heard his brother mention him, he looked at him curiously like a frightened deer.

"If all else fails, you can come to me."

Sihai patted his chest and spoke confidently.

Suddenly, a groaning sound came from behind the counter. Sanchuan walked in and picked up Wuyuan.

Only then did Xu Wenli see that there was an even smaller child wearing a red bellyband, babbling and chewing on the tip of a brush.

Sihai frowned, "If you guys are looking for my Wuyuan, there's nothing we can do. He's still young."

Hearing the kid's random interruptions, the short-bearded man couldn't help but interrupt.

"Where else can your elder sister go at this hour? She's not even doing business..."

The man's tone was not very good.

Sihai shrugged his shoulders, took out an oil-paper package from under the counter, opened it and started eating the sesame candy.

His mouth was covered in sugar residue, but what he said was infuriating: "Believe it or not, Big Sister is not here."

He emphasized the last two words and made a face at them.

Xu Wenli found it interesting and teased him on purpose.

"Then tell me, what else can your elder sister do?"

Sihai found it too tiring to speak with his head tilted back, so he climbed up to a higher bench with a grunt.

"What can I do? My eldest sister is busy. Maybe she's out to sea."

After hearing this, the man with short beard was even more unconvinced.

"Nonsense, what can we do at sea at this time?"

"Catch the moon."

Sihai licked the candy wrapper and rolled his eyes. "Last night the moon fell into the sea, and my elder sister said she wanted to pick it up—"

Before he could finish his words, Er'er came over and knocked him on the head, "Si Hai! You're talking nonsense again!"

Sihai, who was punished by his second sister, stuck out his tongue and ran to Sanchuan to tease Wuyuan.

"Excuse me, sir, but my eldest sister is really not here."

Er Er forced a smile and continued talking when he saw people.

"Sir, thank you for the five taels and ten wen of silver."

Sihai was chewing something and counting in a baby voice.

"The fish offal is for you. The noodle soup is twenty-eight coins in total. The ingredients for the remaining five dishes are a bit expensive."

When Xu Wenli heard this, he knew that he would get nothing out of it if he continued asking.

He asked the short-bearded man to pay the money promptly.

After they walked away, the curtain in the back hall was lifted, and Xu Yiyi came out and carried Wu Yuan back to feed him.

As I left, I reached out and pinched him, "Eat less sugar!"

Sihai was well-behaved at this moment, nodding his head busily.

After Xu Yiyi returned to the backyard, Er'er came forward and asked curiously.

"Why would we lie to people?"

Sihai wiped the sugar residue off his face and raised his index finger mysteriously.

At this time, Sanchuan also came over, holding half a peach cake in his hand. "They came down from the second floor and heard other diners talking about the big sister going into the sea. They kept asking about the big sister's diving skills. They must have some ulterior motive!"

Sanchuan said as he stuffed the peach cake into his second sister's hand.

"That's it!"

Sihai nodded vigorously, "We don't know whether he is good or bad, so we can only say that the eldest sister is not in the restaurant."

……

The few people who came out of the restaurant did not stay long and walked back to the pier.

When Ah Da saw them, he greeted them happily.

"How was the food? Were we kidding?"

Xu Wenli smiled.

"It's really good. Don't laugh at me, but this is the first time I've eaten such delicious food in my life."

The short-bearded man listened and looked at him sideways.

He took two foreign devils on board.

As Ah Da listened, his smile became even brighter, and Xu Wenli exchanged a few words with him.

When he returned to the boat, the short-bearded man stared at him with a teasing look.

"What's going on? Second Master, is your old house on fire? Are you already feeling romantically aroused at your age?"
