Chapter 399 - Sleeping
After Pei Huamo went out of the room, he approached Charlie who was playing a game downstairs, without worrying about himself at all.
And the reason why Pei Huamo is so confident is because of Charlie's relationship with Charlie.
In his opinion, his relationship with Charlie is still very close, even good enough to be like a brother, and of course he will not have any pressure to treat his brother.
In this way, Pei Huamo, who was full of confidence, came to Charlie's side, and at the same time, in order to draw in the relationship between the two of them, Pei Huamo also sat down and planned to play with him.
Charlie was naturally happy to have someone to play with him, so he shared his toys very generously, and at the same time showed off to Pei Huamo that he had a good meal and was trying to grow up.
Although Pei Huamo has no experience in raising children, at this time, he also knows that he should give encouragement to children.
So he stretched out his hand and rubbed Charlie's soft hair that inherited his mother's hair, and then said: "Charlie, as long as you eat well, you can grow up quickly, and you can better protect your younger brothers and sisters in the future." ”
At the mention of his younger siblings, Charlie's spirit came, "Well, I will!" ”
Looking at Charlie, who had gradually taken the bait, Pei Huamo threw out a bait again, "If you want to grow up quickly, you don't just have to eat well." ”
"What else is Charlie going to do?"
"You have to rest well, because the longest body is only at night, so you must go to sleep at this time."
Hearing this, Charlie couldn't help but show an aggrieved expression, glanced at the toy in his hand, and said pitifully: "Shall I play for a while?" Daddy, just for a moment! ”
Charlie said as he held out a finger to signal that he was really just playing for a while.
Looking at the pitiful person in front of him, Pei Huamo also shook his head firmly, but he was not inhumane.
"It's okay if you want to play for a while, but you have to go to your room to play, Dad will accompany you, okay?"
The child had already called him father, and of course Pei Huamo wanted to give him a little face, so he also agreed to this matter.
Hearing this, the aggrieved expression on Charlie's face disappeared instantly, replaced by an excited expression.
Seeing that because his words could make Charlie happy, Pei Huamo was also very proud in his heart, thinking that it would not be difficult to coax a child to sleep!
But such an idea was quickly overturned by Pei Huamo himself, and he even had a feeling of regret.
Here's the thing, after Pei Huamo went back to the room with Charlie, he played with him with great interest for a while, and then proposed to sleep.
However, at this time, Charlie was having fun, and he didn't want to stop there, so he continued to plead.
"Dad, can you play with me for a while, I used to be alone, no one played with me, Charlie is so pitiful!"
Charlie pursed his lips as he spoke, looking so sad that he cried.
Seeing this scene, Pei Huamo relented again, thinking that Charlie was a child anyway, and when he was tired of playing, he would naturally have to sleep.
I have to say that Charlie is a very smart kid and knows how to use his strengths to make the most of the skill of pretending to be pitiful.
So Pei Huamo let Charlie continue to play for a while, but ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed, and Charlie still didn't show any traces of exhaustion, and now Pei Huamo began to get anxious.
"Charlie, if you don't sleep, you won't be able to grow your body, and then there will be no way to protect your younger siblings."
Pei Huamo couldn't see Charlie any tiredness, so he had no choice but to use his killer move.
Sure enough, after hearing such words, Charlie put down the toy in his hand and obediently climbed onto the bed.
"Dad, can you tell me a story? I've had stories told to me before! ”
From the beginning, Yan Ximo just wanted to make his son more knowledgeable, so he would tell him stories, but later this habit was formed, causing Charlie to listen to stories when he sleeps now.
Fortunately, Pei Huamo had already received Yan Ximo's order before he came, so it was not surprising that Charlie made this request.
"Well, where are all your storybooks? I'll tell you the story. Pei Huamo said as he searched for storybooks in the room.
But before he could see the storybook, Charlie had already made his new request, "Dad, I don't want to listen to the stories in the storybook, I have heard those stories before, and I want to hear new stories with familiar ears!" ”
At this time, Pei Huamo finally knew why Yan Ximo was worried that he would not be able to coax the children to sleep, because the children now are very difficult to coax, and there are all kinds of ways, which makes people overwhelmed.
But he had already boasted in front of his wife that he must lull this little guy to sleep, so Pei Huamo could only keep smiling and searching for stories in his memory.
After thinking about it for a long time, the familiar stories in his mind seemed to be very common, and after he asked Charlie's opinion, it was indeed Charlie who survived.
After searching around and finding no stories that could be used, Pei Huamo was even more helpless, because he didn't know what to do with this little ghost now.
At this time, Charlie was still urging him, "Dad, Dad, have you thought of telling me any story?" If you don't tell stories, how can I fall asleep. ”
Hearing his urging, Pei Huamo became even more anxious, pinched his soft face, and said with a look of helplessness against him: "Why can't you listen to those stories that have been told before?" Shouldn't you just revisit it? ”
Pei Huamo tried to lure Charlie to listen to those past stories, but today Charlie is very faceless, and he must listen to new stories.
"No, no, no, Dad will tell me the real story, I've heard all the previous stories, I want to hear new stories!"
Charlie shook Pei Huamo's arm vigorously as he spoke, his big eyes were unblinking, very cute.
Facing the cute Charlie, Pei Huamo really didn't put on a serious face, so he had to nod.
There is no way, the child in front of him is his wife's son, and he will be his child's brother in the future, no matter what, he must be coaxed well.
Although he agreed to this request, he started to have a headache next, because he couldn't tell a story at all.
After a headache for a while, and then looking at the expectant child in front of him, Pei Huamo thought of a good solution.
Indeed, although he doesn't have so many foreign fairy tales in his head, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand Chinese classical stories.
Thinking of this, Pei Huamo smiled very proudly, rubbed Charlie's soft hair, and said: "Charlie, you must always remember our nationality, even if you listen to stories, you can't just listen to foreign fairy tales, I don't know if you have ever heard idiom stories?" ”
Charlie wrinkled his little face and shook his head, "No, Mom never told me!" ”
got the answer he wanted to hear, Pei Huamo couldn't help but snickered in his heart, but he pretended to be very serious on the surface.
"Ahem, since that's the case, then I'll popularize Chinese classical stories for you!"
Because Charlie has been in Sweden since he was born, he has been exposed to more Western culture.
Although Yan Ximo also taught him Chinese and some Chinese customs, she could not have touched on so much, such as this idiom story, which she never said.
Charlie was naturally very happy to be able to listen to the new story, and sat on the bed with a slap in his face, looking like he was listening carefully.
"Okay, good, Dad!"
"I'll tell you the story of waiting for the rabbit tonight. Once upon a time there was a farmer ......"
Speaking of the story he is very good at, Pei Huamo said it very vividly and interestingly, and people who heard him say this story seemed to have pictures in front of them.
After Pei Huamo finished telling the story, he didn't forget to educate Charlie, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Charlie was also attracted by Pei Huamo's vivid description, and he didn't want to sleep anymore.
"Dad, this story is so short, can you tell me another one?"
Looking at Charlie's adoring eyes, Pei Huamo looked cold, but in fact, his heart was already overjoyed.
Pei Huamo also had some interest at this time, and Charlie had been begging him constantly, so he agreed.
"Okay, but let's talk about it first, and when we're done with this story, you must sleep, otherwise you won't have any stories to listen to in the future."
Although Pei Huamo was immersed in the worship of children, he had not forgotten his true task.
I don't know why, Pei Huamo always has an inexplicable attraction to Charlie, maybe this is the nature between father and son.
"Mmmm, after listening to this story, I will definitely sleep obediently." Charlie patted his chest and reassured, his face full of sincerity.
Seeing Charlie's serious expression, Pei Huamo smiled and continued to tell the next story, "The next story is called pulling seedlings to grow, this is another farmer's story, this farmer is cultivating a field of grass seedlings ......"
After telling this story, Pei Huamo stretched out his hand and pinched Charlie's little face, who was still stunned, wanting him to come back to his senses.
Sure enough, feeling the pain on his face, Charlie pouted a little unhappily, looking aggrieved, "Dad, what are you doing?" I'm still thinking about the story you just told! ”
"It's okay to think about the story tomorrow, but now that it's time for you to go to bed, you can't delay it any longer."
As he spoke, Pei Huamo took off Charlie's coat, helped him change into pajamas, lifted the quilt, and stuffed Charlie into the quilt.
Although Charlie was already lying on the bed, his eyes were still looking at Pei Huamo with bright eyes, and it was obvious that he didn't want to sleep.
Seeing this, Pei Huamo said helplessly: "Charlie, if you don't sleep, there will be no stories to listen to in the future!" ”
At this moment, Charlie immediately closed his eyes, "I went to sleep Dad, good night!" ”
"Well, you sleep!"
In this way, Pei Huamo stayed in Charlie's room until he fell asleep, and then left the room.
After walking out of the room, Pei Huamo breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said to himself: "Alas, why are children so difficult to coax now, how are they like when I was a child!" ”
