Chapter 5 Hardcore Coaxing Children

Xu Xiwan got stuck today and didn't get off work on time. If it was before, she could get off work at any time. It's just that the office location is different. Anyway, she is alone. Now it's different. There are only six people in her family. The [-]-year-old girl needs to be taken care of, so she has to think a little more about everything she does. She predicted that today's meeting might be a bit late, so she made a call to the landline at home, and planned to tell Lin Xing to buy some food by herself. After eating, wash and sleep, don't wait for yourself.

The phone beeped a lot but no one answered, and when the timeout expired, there was only a notification tone that no one answered for the time being.Xu Xiwan dialed again, still the same situation, and was about to dial the third time, when the secretary came over and urged her to go to the conference room, Xu Xiwan had to give up and go to the conference room, today's meeting is very important, she must not Absent, there is no choice but to go back as soon as possible after the meeting.

Xu Xiwan was worried, so she called the security room of her community to ask if anyone came in or out of her house today.The security room adjusted the corridor monitoring, saying that except for Xu Xi who came out in the morning, he had not seen anyone else coming in or out.Xu Xi thought at night, that child slept late yesterday, maybe she is still asleep at the moment, just give her a call later.

As a result, the meeting in the afternoon was difficult, and the two parties were arguing. Xu Xi got busy at night and forgot about the phone call until 08:30 in the evening. At least there was a preliminary result, and then the meeting was adjourned. Let's go, Xu Xiwan sat in the meeting room and took a sip of water. The secretary asked her if she wanted to order her something to eat, and then she remembered that Lin Xing was left at home alone, and she might be hungry by now.

Xu Xiwan hurried home, and when she got home, she opened the door and saw that the living room and bedroom were all pitch black, she turned on the light first, and the living room was empty, Lin Xing was not in the living room.

"Lin Xing." Xu Xiwan called out.

No one should.

Xu Xiwan raised his heart and went to Lin Xing's room to find someone. Lin Xing's room was also dark. Xu Xiwan turned on the light and saw the bed first. There was no bed. She looked around and found Lin Xing in the corner of the room. Fortunately, the child hugged his knees tightly and shrunk himself into a ball. Feeling the sudden light in the room, his shoulders twitched.

what happened again.Xu Xiwan's brows tightened, this child shrinks into the corner when he disagrees with him, why is he so weird.

"Lin Xing." Xu Xiwan put away his dissatisfaction, walked over, squatted beside Lin Xing, put his hands on her shoulders, and asked as gently as possible, "What are you doing hiding here?"

Lin Xing didn't speak, and buried his head deeper between his arms.

Xu Xiwan asked again: "Why didn't I answer the call? Did you not hear me?"

Lin Xing raised his head, the tears had dried and hung on his face, his face was stained, his eyes were frightened, his lips were trembling, and he just said "I know I was wrong", his voice was hoarse, and he didn't know that he was alone in the room How many times have I cried.

Xu Xiwan thought she was young, alone in a strange environment, frightened by the darkness, approached Lin Xing patiently, sat down next to her, wrapped her in her arms with one hand, and comforted her. He patted her on the back lightly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Xu Xiwan has been living alone since she was 15 years old. Even when she lived with her mother before the age of 15, her mother was stricter than kind, so Xu Xiwan is not very good at comforting others. She racked her brains to come up with this sentence. It was embarrassing, and I couldn't hold back anything else, so I had to sit with Lin Xing and pat her on the back to let her know that someone was coming back to accompany her, so she didn't have to be afraid anymore.

It's okay not to say, but when it was said that Lin Xing cried again, crying quite aggrieved, he didn't dare to make a sound, he held his throat, his shoulders twitched, and he was out of breath.

"..." Xu Xiwan annoyed the child crying the most, and didn't want to pay attention to it for a moment.

Anyway, let her cry, and it will stop naturally when she has cried enough. After a few more times, when she knows that no one will care about her crying, she will stop crying.

Seeing the child's tears in the evening, Xu Xi couldn't stop crying, she might have to cry for a while, she wanted to look like she came back to clean up the pot, guessing that Lin Xing probably didn't eat dinner, maybe even lunch, Just say: "You cry first, I will cook."

Said to go to the kitchen to cook.

Xu Xiwan is actually not very good at cooking. She lived with her mother when she was young, and she took care of her food and clothing. She went abroad to study when she was young, and her studies were heavy. She is also very motivated and spends most of her time in the library and classrooms. , or interns in major companies, and rarely have time to cook by themselves, so far, there are two dishes in total, one is egg noodles and the other is steamed eggs.But now she has to wait for food to order takeaway, at least an hour. She can wait, but the crying child in the room may not be able to wait, so I have to order two bowls of dried noodles first, it's better than starving.

Xu Xiwan's home is an open kitchen, and the kitchen and dining room are connected together. She went over and saw that the bread on the dining table was bread and milk was milk. The note written by Xu Xiwan was pressed under the milk box without moving it. Did not eat either.

The six-year-old child was hungry for a whole day. Xu Xiwan didn't have time to ask Lin Xing why he didn't eat breakfast.

It’s easy to make noodles, boil the water and put the noodles, crack two more eggs, add some oil and salt and it’s ready to cook. Xu Xiwan puts a bowl for himself and Lin Xing, one egg in each bowl, and brings it to the table , went to Lin Xing's room to ask her to eat, and went in to see that she was still crying there.

"..." This is too good to cry.

There are not many people who can make Xu Xiwan speechless twice in such a short period of time.

"Cry after eating." Xu Xi said in the evening.

Lin Xing raised his head, with tears hanging down his face, and asked sobbingly: "I made a mistake, can I still...can I eat?"

Xu Xiwan wondered, "What mistake did you make?"

"I made... I made the bed... dirty."

Xu Xi understood it late, no wonder she cried and admitted her mistake as soon as she came back, probably because she was young and wet the bed, and she was afraid that she would scold her.

"Let's eat first." Xu Xi said late.

Lin Xing couldn't believe her ears, she sobbed and raised her head, she didn't remember crying, and looked at Xu Xiwan in a daze.

Xu Xiwan was impatient, so he picked her up and walked to the restaurant. While holding her, he touched Lin Xing's pants. They were dry and not wet. I don't know why Lin Xing insisted on admitting his mistake. .

Lin Xing was still a little dazed until he sat down at the dining table, and stared blankly at the steaming bowl of noodle soup in front of him, with a poached egg lying on it.

Xu Xiwan was hungry, put down Lin Xing and sat on his seat, picked up chopsticks and started to eat, took a bite, looked up and found that Lin Xing was still sitting stupidly, thinking she was a picky eater, and said, "Eat."

Xu Xiwan's idea is very simple, he loves to eat, and if he doesn't eat, he will be lazy, and he can't be used to the problem of children acting like a baby and not eating.

"Is this... what I ate?" Lin Xing timidly pointed at the steaming noodles in front of him.

"Yes." Xu Xiwan had just taken a bite, and the secretary had sorted out the minutes of this afternoon's meeting and sent them to her mailbox. She put down her chopsticks, moved the laptop over to her lap, stared at the screen, and had no time to care about Lin. Fortunately, he just said casually: "Eat quickly, don't leave anything behind."

The stick and whip that Lin Xing expected didn't come, and she was unexpectedly able to eat a bowl of delicious hot noodle soup. Regardless of whether she was beaten or not after eating, she had something to eat now. She picked up the chopsticks and looked at it as if confirming Xu Xiwan, seeing that Xu Xiwan was already busy and didn't care about himself, quickly took the bowl and shoveled the noodles into his mouth.

The noodles have been out of the pot for a while, Xu Xiwan's craftsmanship is not very good, the noodles are mushy, but Lin Xing is so hungry that his chest sticks to his back, as long as he has a stutter, he feels delicious, especially the poached egg lying in the bowl, almost Lin Xing's tongue was not fragrant.Poached eggs are a luxury, every morning my aunt makes one for my younger brother, Lin Xing is so greedy that he drools.

Xu Xiwan guessed that the child's appetite was not allowed, and he gave Lin Xingsheng the same amount as himself. Lin Xing was used to being hungry since childhood, and his appetite was smaller than children of the same age. What's more, as an adult, she couldn't eat after eating half a bowl. Xu Xi gave the "order" that he must finish eating, and stuffed it into his mouth with a bitter face. After stuffing it, he felt that the noodles were almost reaching his throat.

I have never had enough to eat, but I never thought that there would be a day when I would really have enough to eat.

Xu Xiwan was preoccupied, eating dinner while watching the computer, and didn't pay attention to Lin Xing. After finishing his noodles, he had time to take a look at Lin Xing, watching the child's long face, drooping eyebrows and eyes, The noodles sucked one by one, as if someone forced her to take poison.

Xu Xiwan was amused by her, smiled a bit, looked straight, and said: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it."

"To... finish eating."

"Okay, I have to take you to the hospital if I vomit." Xu Xiwan put down the computer, got up and took Lin Xing's chopsticks, then took away her bowl, and poured the remaining noodles into the bathroom to rinse. Fortunately, I have almost eaten, and there is only some soup and noodles left.

The noodles were upside down, and the bowl was thrown into the sink. Xu Xiwan saw Lin Xing's dirty clothes, and went to Lin Xing's room closet to get a set of pajamas out.Lin Xing's room had already prepared four seasons clothes and home clothes for girls. They were bought according to the stature of a six-year-old child. Lin Xing's clothes are probably a bit too big, but there is no time to buy them again, so let's just make do with them. .

Xu Xiwan took Lin Xing to the bathroom, put the clothes on the side shelf, and let Lin Xing take a bath by herself, as she still had work to do.

When Lin Xing lived at his uncle's house, his aunt took a big iron pot to boil water and poured it into a bucket to wash each person. Lin Xing washed the leftover water from his younger brother's washing. Lin Xing thought that Xu Xi would come home late. The same goes for taking a bath. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiwan led herself to the bathroom to take a bath, and she left.

There were no basins or buckets in the bathroom, and Lin Xing didn't know many strange facilities, and he didn't know how to wash them. He saw a faucet on the wall that was about the same height as hers. So I turned on the faucet and took a towel to soak in the water.

Cold water, biting.
