Chapter 340: Children shouldn't meddle too much

This weekend, Jiang Ye and Shen Man were both on vacation.

Tangyuan lazily indicated it wanted to stay and watch the house, and Lian Lian was taken out by her brother to show off to his comrades.

Grandpa and Master had an appointment with other old friends to go fishing, and sister-in-law was on duty and not at home today.

The couple locked the main gate, each riding a bicycle, carrying the little ones to the pier to take the passenger ship.

The children stood straight in the baskets, looking at the unfamiliar scenery from time to time, giggling non-stop.

In their limited memory, this was the first time their mom and dad had taken them out to play.

The big birds in the sky were so fat, the sea surface was sparkling, and there were sea fish swimming.

The two siblings were young and had little experience, so they were very curious about everything new.

When they saw the behemoth of a warship returning from patrol, their mouths opened wide.

"That is a patrol ship. When you grow up, do you want to be in the Navy, the Army, or the Air Force?"

Shen Man hugged her daughter's waist tightly with both hands, lifting her up to see the warship clearly.

Sigh, if she had known, she would have called her brother along. Lian Lian especially liked warships; every time she saw that warship while gathering seafood, she would be excited and scream.

In comparison, her own daughter would also stare at the warship in a daze, but it seemed more like she was looking at the red flag fluttering on the warship.

As for her son, his eyes were now fixed on the seagulls and flying birds in the sky, not blinking.

Jiang Ye constantly paid attention to his wife's condition. Seeing that his wife's arms were sore, he spoke up:

"Are you tired? Give the children to me, I'll hold them. You sit down and rest first..."

"I'm fine."

Shen Man shook her head, but the children in her arms were still taken away by the man.

"I'll hold them first. Later, let's go to the State-run Restaurant and dump the children on Old Mo."

As the children's godfather, Jiang Ye felt it was necessary for Old Mo to take care of the children and build a relationship.

"Okay, otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be very convenient to take the children to buy things."

Shen Man nodded, very much agreeing with this suggestion.

The two siblings huddled on their father's shoulders, not knowing that they would be "abandoned" by their parents, and were still excited.

Outside the Sea Island, State-run Restaurant.

Perhaps because it was the weekend, seven or eight tables of guests had come one after another since morning.

Old Mo in the kitchen, however, was a bit absent-minded.

If it weren't for Dahai's reminder, his pot of spicy crayfish might have been burnt.

"Master, didn't you sleep well?

Why don't you go back to the dormitory and sleep for a while? Xiao Hai and I can watch the shop, it's no problem."

Dahai saw his master's recent absent-mindedness and considerately asked if he wanted to go back and rest.

"No, I'm not sleepy."

Old Mo shook his head; there was a feeling in his heart that made his mood inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Alright, Master, if you're sleepy, just tell me anytime, and you go back to rest first."

Dahai saw his master was absent-minded, but since his master said so, he couldn't say anything.

That person hadn't come for over a week, right?

Could it be that the other party had given up on pursuing his master?

Sigh, his master was always like this, saying one thing but meaning another.

Clearly, he cared a little about her in his heart, but...

"Old Mo, is Old Mo here?"

Just at this moment, a full-voiced shout came from inside the restaurant:

"Look, who did I bring?"

Jiang Ye shouted loudly because the noise of the spatula in the kitchen was quite loud; if he didn't shout loudly, the people inside wouldn't hear him at all.

"I'll go out and see, you guys keep busy."

Old Mo heard his good brother's voice and his spirit concentrated a little.

He gave instructions to his apprentices, then rubbed his face and turned to leave the kitchen.

After his master walked away, Xiao Hai sneakily approached his brother and said:

"Brother, I feel like Master's mood has been a bit off lately."

"Children shouldn't meddle too much."

Dahai glanced at his younger brother, looking like he didn't want to say more.

Even his younger brother could see Master's abnormality!

Sigh, if Master didn't see his own heart clearly, their cooked mistress might fly away!

"Hey, brother, why do you have the leisure to bring your wife and two children here today?"

Old Mo saw the two children and immediately beamed with joy, the depression hanging over his heart dissipating a bit.

"We rarely have a break today, so we're preparing to buy some things outside the Sea Island.

Thinking that you hadn't seen the children for a long time, I thought I'd give you, their godfather, a chance to show off..."

Jiang Ye looked at the situation in the restaurant; business seemed good today?

But his brother's mood was off, looking dejected.

Business was good, shouldn't he be happy?

"Brother Mo, why do you feel a bit strange?"

Shen Man felt Old Mo's expression was a bit strange today—not that he didn't welcome them, but he seemed to be expecting someone.

Then, seeing it was them, his hope was dashed, and his expression was unnatural and disappointed.

Could it be that Brother Mo was dating someone?

Or was he troubled by love?

"No way, alright, alright. Leave the children to me, you and your wife go buy things.

Come back for lunch later, I'll save a table for you."

Old Mo's eyes flickered, clearly not wanting to say more, which made it even stranger.

Jiang Ye saw everything, and he had a plan in his heart.

Not saying?

It seemed there really was something going on.

The guilty Old Mo held the two children in his arms, using his stubble to rub against the little ones' cheeks. Soon, the two siblings were dodging and playing with their godfather.

Old Mo had always liked his niece and nephew; every time he went to the Sea Island, he would bring some toys he had scavenged and play with the little ones to their heart's content.

So at this moment, the little ones weren't strangers to this godfather at all; on the contrary, they were quite happy to play with him.

Old Mo was happy and called his apprentices, telling them to go to the kitchen and steam two bowls of egg custard for the little ones to have a special treat later.

The two siblings heard their godfather was going to give them a special treat, touched their godfather's cheeks with their hands, and smiled even more brightly.

Children were like this; whoever was good to them, they would smile at them. Children could feel kindness.

Shen Man felt much more at ease seeing this. She originally thought that since the little ones hadn't seen Brother Mo for a while, they might not accept him so quickly, but she didn't expect...

This verified that it wasn't just blood relations that made family.

Sometimes, family was chosen by oneself.

At the moment, the restaurant was crowded, so it wasn't easy to ask about Brother Mo's abnormality. When there were fewer people, they would probe what had happened to Brother Mo.

"Xiao Mantou, Xiao Nuomi, call Godfather and let me hear."

"Call Godfather, and later Godfather will make you something delicious and buy you fun toys, okay?"

Old Mo knew how to coax children, the kind that was self-taught.

Under his deliberate guidance and temptation, the siblings called out crisply, "Godfather, Godfather!"

Hearing it made others' hearts melt, especially Old Mo's... ===== CHAPTER 341 =====
