Villainess Raising Kiddo's
Chapter 16

Hearing the sound of crying, Vera's heart stiffened. All the previous speculations reappeared in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he panicked.

"What's up, baby? Is something bothering you?" Vera said as she dried her hands, took the key and was about to leave.

He had already decided to bring Delio home if the boy was really bullied. At best transfer it to another kindergarten.

The little one cried for a while before saying a hiccup. "I. .. I miss Mom so much!"

Then, she cried even harder.

Suddenly being in an unfamiliar environment, Delio felt a little scared. After meeting many children her age and playing together, she felt that kindergarten was not bad. But when she ate the less-than-pleasant meal at lunchtime, she felt sad again.

Why did you take her to this place and not come to see her? I must not like it!

The more you think, the more sad your little one gets. He tapped his watch on the table during the meal, then recalled that mom said he could use this thing to contact him. So, Delio tried it.

It turned out that she could actually hear Mom's voice.

Delio wanted to complain about a lot of things. After crying, he started talking.

He asked if she didn't like him. Saying that kindergarten food is not as delicious as Vera's cooking, and how much she misses it. Then, she changed the topic and started telling me about how many friends she knew, and the teacher taught them a song.

.

"Mom, I sing to you."

"okay." Vera was relieved the things she had imagined had not happened. She took off the doorknob, returned to the sofa and sat down cross-legged, then said with a smile, "Mom has never heard Delio sing."

Delio immediately sang, "Little star in the blue sky. Lots of space decorating. I want to fly and dance ... dance ...."

Kindergarten teachers teach children songs to persuade them, so only teach them twice. Delio recalled some parts and forgot about the continuation. After singing a few lines, she stuttered, then pursed her lips and cried. "Mother .. I don't know anymore."

Delio's tone sounded sad, but Vera wanted to laugh when she heard it. He cleared his throat before comforting. "It's okay, Delio's been so great to remember so much. I just don't remember."

Parental praise can build children's confidence. Delio instantly fell silent as soon as he heard it. He raised his face. "Mom, I'll be able to do it tonight."

"OKAY. Then, Delio's singing for Mom tonight."

The two of them chatted for a while. After being convinced that Mom would pick her up later that night, Delio obediently went to bed with her teacher.

Closing the phone, Vera sighed, then shook her head while laughing, then got up and continued working.

Delio's coming home from school at 5. Vera left half an hour early. When he arrived there, many old men had already gathered outside. Parents take their children to school for the first day, so it is inevitable they will be worried.

Vera stared at the time while chatting with people. The one who was chatting with him was the mother of the tantrum child this morning.

"You don't know, my son is noisy. My father and I have long wanted to educate him. That way, I can find a job." The young lady spoke as if annoyed, but her eyes kept glancing into the kindergarten. She was obviously worried about her son as well.

He glanced again, then turned his head and asked Vera. "I saw you bring the kid alone this morning. Where's your husband?"

"He doesn't exist." There is absolutely no husband.

"Then you're great." The young woman thought Vera's husband was on duty. "I was looking after a child with my husband and in-laws just feeling tired. Especially if your husband is not there. Must be tired."

He sighed. "Building a child requires money and energy. If your husband doesn't work, what's the point of getting married?"

The woman suddenly changed the topic, saying that fortunately her husband was responsible. Vera smiled without saying anything while listening to her true grievances under the guise of showing off.

Whoever wants a man, take it. After all, he didn't plan to want it.

When we talk, time passes quickly. At 5 o'clock, cheerful music is heard in kindergarten. The parents approached the door, wanting to be the first to see their children.

Vera pushed forward, she held back with her hands so as not to push others.

He moved to the side, looking inside through the door slit. Shortly after, he saw the teacher taking the children out.

The first day of Kindergarten, the children were taught to march. They walked closer in a straight line.

The door opened, the first team of teachers came out. He said the name of the child, then his parents came. In this way, the children were taken away.

Vera waited for a while before hearing Delio's name. He answered and stepped forward. The parents on both sides gave way for him.

Delio stood in front. When he saw Vera, he ran over. Vera crouched down to catch and kiss her cheek, then stood up and held her hand. "Let's go home."

Wearing a small backpack, Delio jumped while walking. She told me that she had learned how to count ducks this afternoon, and would sing to Vera once they got home.

"okay." Vera touches his head, then asks how many friends he got.

Delio counted with his finger, then stretched out four fingers. "Four! I know Lala, Jojo, and Nico! We played the game together!"

"really? Then, you guys are really being fooled." Vera smile.

Perhaps soon, this innocent child would know that most of his classmates were four years old.

"Hm!" Delio nodded strongly. Although he did not know what a matchmaking meant, he repeated Vera's words. "We're a match!"

After telling her about what she had seen and heard all day, Delio asked Vera. "Mother, how are you today?"

The little man looked at her with sparkling eyes, like he was expecting something.

Vera understood what he meant. She pretended to think, then said, "Mom thought of Delio at home today."

"I'm also thinking about Mom!” delio exclaimed jumping and hugging Vera's hand. His eyes narrowed with a smile.

Arriving home, Delio sings the children's song she learned today for Vera. After being praised, he ran.

After making dinner, Vera calls Delio to eat.

The little one gets nervous while eating. He took the rice that stuck to the corner of his lips and put it in his mouth while complaining that the food at school was not as good as his mother's cooking.

"I want to eat Mom's cooking."

Vera also wants Delio to eat better, but kindergarten likens all food and prohibits food brought in from the outside. He couldn't give Delio the privilege, could only advise him.

To comfort Delio's soul who was struck by food, Vera played briefly with him so that he was over an hour late to open the stall.

Vera doesn't know that she's missing out on the opportunity to make money because it's an hour late.

Since the barbecue stall wasn't open yesterday, Ollie came again to try her luck today. But when everyone had already opened the shop, the stall at the very end was still closed.

He was a little disappointed, and almost trusted Aditya's words. He looked for other snacks that he said were delicious, then stopped the taxi.

Ollie had just gotten into a taxi when Vera arrived on her third-wheel-drive bike. He opened the canopy curtain, took out a light board, and moved the materials from the bicycle to the safe inside.

"Pick yourself what you want to eat."

Since Vera did not come yesterday, Aditya's business improved. He was quite happy and thought that maybe he was right.

Aditya speculates wickedly. He hoped the shop next door would close. It's better if it closes forever.

After taking care of his stall, he stared outside. The sky was getting darker, but there was no sign that the barbecue seller next door was coming. He feels very happy. The corner of his lips lifted when he smoked.

A guest came in, Wati fried the rice and brought it there. When she turned around, she saw her husband wandering outside doing nothing. "What are you doing here?"

He was a bit riled up, then walked over and slapped Aditya. "Why not entertain guests?!"

Aditya pursed his lips. "Is this store closed?"

"It seems impossible." Wati doesn't believe too much. "The business is so good. Too bad it's closed."

"Maybe he mixed something? It's good that it's closed." Aditya grunts. Seeing some people coming, he threw away the cigarette butts and stepped on them, then was about to entertain, but they walked past him.

"The store is closed" Aditya said, thinking that the men would come to his place. As a result, he saw Vera riding a tricycle here.

Reality is not as expected, Aditya's eyes widened. Seeing that some of the guests were unlikely to come to his place, he cursed, spat while glaring at Vera, then turned his head and shouted at Wati. "Why are you still here?"

On the other hand, Ollie arrived at another restaurant. After Ollie ordered the hot dry noodles, her friend called.

"Don't you say you want to create content about the barbecue? Hows it? Have you made yet? If not, we go there today." Ollie's friends can't forget Vera's barbecue after eating her. Like there was a time today, he was about to invite Ollie to eat again.

In any case, eating barbecue should look at the atmosphere. The more people the better.

Ollie churned the noodles while replying, "I'm gone, but I'm not creating content."

"What's wrong?" ask his friend wonder.

Ollie sighed. "I've been gone two days in a row, but the tavern is closed. Someone else said, the shop's not open anymore."

He clicked his tongue and asked his friend, "Is the barbecue really as good as you say it is?"

"Of course it's good! Why would I lie to you?" His friend did not accept his taste to be questioned. He asked confusedly after exclaiming. "Has the store really closed?"

"Yes, I'm new from there, now on the East Ring Road. You wanna come over here?" Ollie ate a bite of noodles and felt good. "The hot dry noodles here are pretty good."

"No, I'll go see it." Ollie's friend has been craving Vera's barbecue for a few days. He did not accept that the good food he had just eaten once, was no longer sold.

"I'll go there. Who knows, change the new shop."
