Chapter 118
Upon receiving information from Gu Jinchen and his people, the Village Chief hastily gathered everyone and relayed the news to every household.
"Keep your children close, don't be lazy and let them go unsupervised."
"You all must understand the menace of the human traffickers, don't wait until it's too late to cry."
"Even with all my abilities, I can't snatch them back."
Indeed, these were the Village Chief's exact words, but they were also the truth.
Everyone understood the consequences of losing a child, so they were all keeping a close eye on their kids.
...The next day.
As the news of the human traffickers spread, everyone was afraid, so many people made their children take leave from school.
Seeing this, Elder Mr. Xu simply declared a holiday – the school would be closed for three days.
"Mom, I'm just going to use the bathroom... " Tie Dan pleaded, feeling that she didn't need to watch him so closely.
Like everyone else, Wang Sister-In-Law was extremely anxious. From early morning, she had followed Tie Dan wherever he went.
But now... Tie Dan felt utterly helpless.
Covering his small trousers, he looked at the outhouse in front of him, feeling trapped whether he decided to go in or not.
"What? You go ahead, I'll just wait outside. Are you afraid you can't do it? Hurry up, hurry up."
It wasn’t that she was overprotective, but there had indeed been cases of children disappearing while using the outhouse!
Could she not be extra cautious?
Tie Dan: "......."
Half a moment later, in the outhouse.
"Mom, maybe you should stop talking to me, I really can't do it."
From the moment he entered, his mother had been bombarding him with conversation.
Wang Sister-In-Law: "......Then hurry up, don't dilly-dally."
"......"
Meanwhile.
With the school on break, Luo Ge and the others took Older Baby and Second Baby to the inn.
"Uncle Er Zhu, that big fellow over there called for a refill."
"Ah, alright, Uncle Er Zhu knows."
"Little Auntie, the ladies in the first room upstairs want to settle the bill."
"...Alright, Auntie knows." Upon hearing Second Baby's shout, Luo Ge quickly nodded.
Honestly, they had no idea before, but now they suddenly found out that Second Baby was quite adept at handling business.
Older Baby, on the other hand, was well-behaved, always sitting with Gu Jinchen at the entrance counter.
"Auntie, do you want to eat? We have lots of delicious dishes, you can come in and try them."
"Uncle......."
Just as Luo Ge was thinking, she saw Older Baby putting on his cutest smile, gently inviting customers into their place.
He would ask every adult passing by their inn, obediently staying within their sight, maintaining a safe distance.
"Cough, cough." Seeing Luo Ge's gaze, Gu Jinchen awkwardly coughed twice.
"It wasn't me who taught him." He added weakly.
To be honest, he probably couldn't teach them even if he wanted to. These two kids were a bit too clever, too cunning.
"Little Uncle, these uncles want to eat fish." As soon as he finished speaking, Older Baby ran over, followed by several customers.
Luo Ge and the others didn't teach them any of this, but they could learn by watching on their own.
Just learn from Uncle Er Zhu, he always looks his best when greeting guests.
The purpose of their learning is also very simple.
Their uncle and aunt work hard to support them. They don't want their uncle and aunt to work so hard.
That's why they want to do their part in their own way, to ease their hardship...
"Boss Gu, Mrs. Gu, this must be your young master, right? He's so clever and likable."
Coincidentally, the one who came in with Older Baby was a regular customer of their restaurant, who couldn't help but praise the two children for their cleverness.
"He's our elder brother's child, a little imp who's full of energy. Please forgive his mischief."
They say this, but their faces are full of pride.
The regular customer laughed heartily when he saw their expressions.
"It's great that children are like this. Could the young master help us order a mildly spicy boiled fish?"
He spoke to Luo Ge and the others first, then bent down to speak to Older Baby.
Like the modern style, they also offer a selection of mild, medium, and hot spices according to the customer's taste.
Seeing Luo Ge and the others' expressions just now, the two little ones happily curved their eyes and stood side by side.
Hearing the customer's words, they nodded again and again.
"Okay, the dishes will take a while. Let's take you to your seats for some tea first, or see if you'd like to order anything else."
"We also have..... These are special dishes in our restaurant, you can try them."
The two little ones worked together in a playful manner.
But when they heard these familiar words, the few adults present were taken aback before they all laughed.
Because when Luo Ge was in the restaurant, he always used this set of phrases when ordering for customers. They didn't expect the two little ones to have memorized them so well.
"Alright, alright, then we'll order some more."
After laughing, the regular customer was very cooperative, ordering two more of his usual favorite dishes according to their suggestions.
Seeing this, the two little ones greeted him even more enthusiastically. They even followed Uncle Er Zhu when he was serving the dishes.
Luo Ge and the others were both gratified and worried.
It's good for children to be sensible, but being sensible too early inevitably takes away a lot of the carefree joy of childhood.
