In the kitchen, which was so narrow that it could barely accommodate one person, a middle-aged woman wearing a red apron poked her head out and looked at Wang Ye, "What's wrong?" Why did Qingyi shout so loudly? ”

“……”

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Wang also subconsciously arched his nose, because the situation was a little embarrassing, so he simply prevaricated.

"Oh~"

Ye Xiao blinked, didn't continue to ask, turned around and took out a plate of fried poached eggs and a large bottle of milk from the kitchen and put them on the table.

"It's quite early today, so let's have an honest breakfast, don't gobble up like before, and ruin your stomach!" Ye Xiao said with a hint of complaint.

"Understood!"

For Ye Xiao's concern, Wang also responded with a smile, and then pulled out a chair and sat down at the table.

Looking at the poached eggs on the plate, Wang couldn't help asking, "Mom, aren't you very busy at work?" How can I have time to fry poached eggs today? ”

"Oh, didn't you say you didn't like steamed eggs last time, so I got up early to fry eggs today. You can quickly taste whether it suits your appetite, and you can ask me for any requirements. ”

Ye Xiao picked up the toast bread on the table, and said disapprerovingly while tearing open the package.

Wang also picked up the fragrant omelette with chopsticks and took a bite, and nodded approvingly, "Well, that's good!" ”

Ye Xiao distributed two slices of toast bread on Wang Ye's plate, and when Ye Xiao was about to pick up the milk, Wang Ye got up and took the milk and poured a glass for everyone.

"Mom, we're not children anymore, we can do this kind of trivial thing by ourselves, don't be too tired."

Looking at the sensible Wang Ye, Ye Xiao also smiled with relief.

"Enough is enough!"

When Wang Ye's milk was poured halfway through the cup, Ye Xiao suddenly reached out and lifted Wang Ye's tilted hand and smiled, "I have a bad stomach lately, so I can't drink too much." ”

Wang also glanced at Ye Xiao in a daze and didn't say anything.

Seeing that there were only two slices of toast coated with a little tomato sauce on Ye Xiao's plate, he couldn't help frowning, "Mom, didn't you give yourself an omelette?" ”

Ye Xiao untied his apron, tied up and leaned on the back of the chair, and said with a gentle smile: "I have a small appetite, two slices of toast are enough to eat." You and Qingyi are still young, and you can't delay in terms of nutrition! ”

Wang also froze, he knew that the family was in great difficulty, and any little expense could lead to the family's overstretching.

Not only do they have to save money, but their nutrition cannot be less, so Ye Xiao can only reduce his nutrition to save expenses.

Wang Ye sat down stiffly, raised his head and secretly looked at Ye Xiao.

The face is yellow and thin, the face is haggard, and the long hair hanging down is a little frizzy, like a malnourished curled up, messy, and the beautiful and dignified woman who was a child cannot be seen at all.

The twists and turns of life have ravaged the woman who once loved beauty into a haggard woman.

Although this is not Wang Ye's biological mother, they have been together for more than ten years, and under Ye Xiao's dedicated care, the jerky resistance in his heart has long been softened.

He had already treated this woman as if it were his own mother.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye couldn't help but have a sour nose, and tears overflowed.

Let him subconsciously lower his head.

Ye Xiao didn't notice the subtle psychological changes in Wang Ye's heart, and said while tearing the toast: "You should have heard all the events reported on the radio just now, right?" ”

Wang was also stunned, "Is the sound insulation in my room so bad?" ”

"Recently, the disappearance cases have continued to ferment, and the perpetrators have not been arrested for a long time. I heard Aunt Liang next door say that there is an old man selling vegetables in the vegetable market near us who is missing! ”

"And ...... On the drying rack in front of a certain house, the bloody intestines were skewered on the shelf......"

Halfway through the conversation, looking at Wang Ye, whose eyes were wide-eyed, Ye Xiao suddenly stopped, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk about such a disgusting topic at the dinner table." ”

"Now I don't know if this is a rumor spread by someone who deliberately intimidates people, and I don't have to take it too seriously and scare myself."

"I'm telling you these words just to make you be careful lately, go home as soon as you finish school, and don't linger outside."

"You can quit those nights' part-time jobs, you are still young now, you should focus on studying, and I can still bear the burden of my family!"

Ye Xiao chattered.

"Got it, I'll pay attention!" The king also nodded in response.

Although he didn't want to give up those part-time jobs, in order not to worry Ye Xiao, he could only do so.

Anyway, I can't make much money from my part-time job at night, so I can only go out on weekends to work part-time.

He lowered his head and condensed his eyes, he didn't think these things were groundless.

However, the recent situation is indeed not optimistic, and the disappearance of people is becoming more and more frequent, and now the disappearance is happening near their home, which will definitely have an impact on their lives.

Other than that.

He was a little confused, aren't the target groups of kidnapping and trafficking incidents all rich people, women and children, and the like?

What are they kidnapping an old vegetable seller for? Tie back to be a father?

"Qingyi! Aren't you okay yet? ”

Ye Xiao shouted loudly at Wang Ye's room, there was some hoarseness in his voice, probably because of overwork recently.

Wang also drank half a glass of milk in one go, swallowed the toast in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry about her, every time you go to the toilet, it's endless, it's like using the toilet as a bed." ”

"Humph! Speak ill of me behind my back again! Stinky King too! ”

Wang Qingyi walked out of Wang Ye's bedroom, her face flushed a little, obviously the accident just now had a great impact on her psychology.

After all, Wang Ye is a human being in two lifetimes, and his mind is relatively mature in this regard, while Wang Qingyi is only twelve years old, so it is normal for him to feel shy and uncomfortable.

Wang Ye just smiled, "The slowest one to eat is cleaned up!" ”

After saying that, Wang Ye stuffed the rest of the toast on the plate into his mouth in one go.

Seeing this, Wang Qingyi suddenly became anxious, and looked at Ye Xiao with dark eyes, with a slight hint of coquettishness, "Mom, look at my brother!" Always bully me! ”

"Alright!" Ye Xiao smiled as if he was a peacemaker, and patted the chair on the side, "Come over and eat, I'll clean it up later." ”

Wang Qingyi walked over with a smile on her face, and glared at Wang Ye delicately, as if announcing her victory.

"Qingyi, I also talked to your brother just now. Recently, come home early after school and never come into contact with any strangers! Ye Xiao said in a very serious tone.

Because Wang Qingyi is relatively young and has no ability to judge right and wrong for herself, she needs to be tougher to make her aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Wang Qingyi, who had just bitten down a piece of toast, was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

"There has been a recent spike in missing people in the city, and even one in our neighborhood, so we have to have something to do about it."

Ye Xiao reached out and stroked the somewhat messy hair around Wang Qingyi's ears, "I've been a little busy lately, but if I have time, I'll pick you up from school!" ”

"Hmm."

Wang Qingyi also nodded obediently, although she is still young now, she is also very sensible, and she will understand her mother early.

"I'm done."

The king also got up and took the empty plates and some garbage with him.

"Also, I'll do that!" Ye Xiao called Wang Ye.

"No, it's just a trifle." The king also shirked.

He was just teasing Wang Qingyi just now, of course he wouldn't be so lazy that he would even trouble others to do such a trivial thing as washing dishes.

Otherwise, he would really be no different from a giant baby.

Put the bowl into the sink and wash it and put it on the drain rack in the cabinet below, and then Wang Ye took the backpack he put on the chair and waved his hand at Ye Xiao and Wang Qingyi, "I'll go first!" ”

"Shh

Wang Qingyi, who was eating with her head bored, let out a disdainful sound.

Wang Ye: "......"

I didn't expect this little girl to hold such a grudge......

"Wait a minute!" Ye Xiao suddenly stopped Wang Ye, and then got up and stuffed a roll of rolled money into Wang Ye's hand.

Wang Ye looked at the money in his hand and was stunned, more than 300 yuan, which is more than a week's expenses for this difficult family!

When Wang Ye looked up at Ye Xiao in surprise, Ye Xiao said with a smile: "I know that you have participated in the school's sports team, and you won't be laughed at if you wear your broken shoes?" Go buy a better pair. ”

"But ......"

Ye Xiao interrupted him, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry, I can still take out this money." You've also subsidized a lot of money to your family. ”

With mixed feelings in his heart, Wang also clenched the banknote in his hand and nodded heavily.

"Be careful on the road!" Ye Xiao patted Wang Ye's shoulder.
