Chapter 5

"Brother, this dish is so fragrant, it's really delicious." At the dining table, Wang Shiyu's little mouth was covered with grease. Her chubby little hands, not very skilled, were holding a piece of chicken with chopsticks as if she had found a treasure. The big meal her brother had promised to make was indeed great, even better than she had imagined.

Jing sat beside her and took a napkin to wipe her mouth, smiling and said, "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you."

"But the food Brother made is so delicious, if I don't eat quickly, my stomach will be full before I finish," Wang Shiyu explained seriously, which made Ye Chui and Jing burst out laughing.

Ye Chui laughed and called out, "Jing, you should eat quickly too. The taste will change if it gets cold."

"Okay," Jing nodded, but first she picked a piece of chicken for Ye Chui, then started eating herself. After taking a bite, she showed a look of enjoyment and then looked at Ye Chui in surprise, "Brother, I've never tasted anything this delicious before. What's the name of this dish?"

"It's called Da Pan Ji," Ye Chui said with a chuckle. He, of course, didn't forget to hide his identity and continued, "I recently learned it from someone. It's delicious, right? Eat more, and it goes even better with noodles or rice."

After the three siblings finished their lunch, Wang Shiyu's little belly was full. However, children have boundless energy. She had probably made plans to play games with her friends at school and couldn't wait to leave as soon as she put down her chopsticks. Jing stayed behind to help Ye Chui wash the dishes. She was used to helping with the lamb skewers work and didn't go to school with Wang Shiyu. After all, the school was only two blocks away, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.

But before Wang Shiyu left, Jing carefully reminded her, "Be careful on the way, don't play anywhere else, and don't accept anything from strangers..."

"Sister, I know, no need to remind me," Wang Shiyu said with a smile, "I can recognize bad people."

"Alright, Shiyu, you're really smart," Jing said, patting her little head.

Wang Shiyu giggled and ran out, shouting, "Goodbye, Sister, goodbye, Brother."

After tidying up the dishes, Ye Chui and Jing started preparing the lamb skewers. The bamboo skewers were specially bought; they were very cheap, with a thousand costing only about twenty yuan. The lamb was cut into small pieces and marinated in a large bowl with soy sauce, MSG, salt, scallions, ginger, and eggs for two hours. Then, they were threaded onto the skewers, with five pieces of lamb per skewer.

The process was simple but time-consuming. To prepare for the evening stall, they had to make a thousand skewers in the afternoon. Jing wanted to help Ye Chui, so she stayed to lend a hand.

On the street outside, Wang Shiyu, with her schoolbag, skipped happily towards the school. Thinking about the Da Pan Ji she had just eaten, her mouth was still savoring the taste. But at this moment, a lollipop would have been perfect. Unfortunately, Wang Shiyu felt her empty pocket; her pocket money from yesterday was already spent...

Just as she was about to sigh, she suddenly heard a man's voice.

"Little girl, do you want a lollipop?"

Looking up, she saw a fat man in his thirties standing in front of her, holding a lollipop and speaking to her with a friendly smile. This fat man was naturally Tian Xiaodu.

Wang Shiyu looked at Tian Xiaodu's face for a while, then shifted her gaze to the lollipop in his hand. After a few back-and-forth glances, she suddenly broke into a sweet smile, "Yes, I do."

Seeing Wang Shiyu accept the lollipop without any suspicion, Tian Xiaodu was delighted. Children have no guard, so he decided to use this child as a breakthrough to get close to her brother. He was confident that with his friendly appearance, he could win the trust of the other party and get the recipe!

Thinking this, Tian Xiaodu continued to speak kindly to Wang Shiyu, "Are you going to school? Can I take you there?"

Wang Shiyu nodded vigorously, "Yes, Uncle, you're so nice."

"Ha ha ha..." Tian Xiaodu's fat face broke into a smile. Being praised by a seven-year-old girl made him feel quite good. He continued, "Can you tell me where your school is?"

"It's over there, Uncle, I'll show you the way," Wang Shiyu said with a sweet and adorable smile.

So, led by Wang Shiyu, Tian Xiaodu followed her to the school. On the way, Tian Xiaodu tried his best to show his kind and friendly side. When they passed a small supermarket, he even took Wang Shiyu inside to buy a bunch of snacks. Wang Shiyu didn't hesitate and bought all the things she usually wanted but couldn't afford. When they left the supermarket, her hands were full of heavy bags.

Tian Xiaodu didn't mind the money, but seeing Wang Shiyu's sweet smile made him feel quite satisfied. He thought to himself that he had definitely found the right breakthrough with Wang Shiyu. The way she called him "Uncle" was so clear and pleasant... Hmm, where are we now?

Just as he was thinking about this, Tian Xiaodu suddenly stopped. He realized that Wang Shiyu had stopped walking, and they were not at a school but... the West District Police Station?

Just as he was puzzled, he saw a mischievous smile on Wang Shiyu's cute little face. Then, the little girl suddenly shouted, "Police Uncle, come and save me! There's a weird uncle trying to kidnap me..."

Tian Xiaodu's face turned pale, and he quickly grabbed Wang Shiyu's shoulder, "You... what are you saying?"

Two police officers who had just finished lunch rushed over at the sound of Wang Shiyu's cry, pulling Tian Xiaodu away with caution, "What are you doing!?"

"I... I didn't want to kidnap her, I just..." Tian Xiaodu tried to explain frantically.

"Police Uncle, I don't know this uncle at all. He just gave me a lollipop and bought me so many things. He must have bad intentions... sniff, sniff, Police Uncle, I'm so scared," Wang Shiyu said, wiping her eyes.

The little girl was so cute that the two police officers' hearts softened. One of them comforted her, "Don't be afraid, little girl, the bad man has been caught by Uncle."

"It's a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding..." Tian Xiaodu tried to explain.

"Be quiet!" The other police officer punched him in the stomach, "Giving someone a lollipop and buying so many snacks for no reason? Your intentions are obvious. I hate people like you the most. Wait until I deal with you!"

"I... I... I'm really innocent..."

Tian Xiaodu's fat face was full of frustration as he was dragged into the police station. As he turned his head, he saw Wang Shiyu's sweet smile. She hadn't shed a single tear despite her dramatic crying, and she even proudly shook the bag of snacks in her hand, as if showing off her spoils. This little girl is a demon! Tian Xiaodu confirmed this in his heart right away.

At six o'clock in the evening, Ye Chui made dinner for his two sisters and was about to push the small tricycle out to set up his stall. Just as he reached the entrance of the neighborhood, he saw Jing and Wang Shiyu coming home from school. Seeing Ye Chui, Wang Shiyu skipped over, looking very proud, and said to Ye Chui, "Brother, Brother, I caught a weird uncle today."
