How to raise a father who is overly controlling of his daughter

Page 43

"Let's go." Itsuki and Reina walked into the restroom.

Rena stood by the washbasin, facing the mirror, motionless.

"What's wrong now?" Yi Yue asked helplessly.

Rena yawned wearily. "Daddy, can you help me wash my face? I'm so tired, I don't want to move."

“You…” Yi Yue couldn’t speak, and sighed, “Sigh, I really admire you.”

He took out an unused dry towel from the cabinet, scalded it with hot water, rinsed it with warm water, rubbed it dry, and used it to wipe Rena's face.

Izuki carefully wiped Rena's face: "Lift your head."

Rena obediently raised her head, and Izuki wiped her neck.

"Lower your head."

Reina did as she was told, and Itsuki wiped the back of her ear for her.

One more time, Yiyue washed the towel and hung it on the rack next to her.

Then he had Rena put her head down over the washbasin and helped her wash her hair.

Chapter Sixty: Gifts

Izuki carefully washed Rena's hair, dried it with a towel, and used a hairdryer to comb it while drying it.

Izuki skillfully tied Rena's hair into pigtails.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Izuki looked at Rena in the mirror with satisfaction. She looked as cute as a little princess.

"Not bad." Rena cheered up and tossed her ponytail. The end of her ponytail brushed against Izuki's nose, making it a little itchy.

Yixue came in and said, "Dad, it's almost seven o'clock. If we don't go out soon, it will be very late, and we won't be able to get a good seat at dinner."

It was getting late, and Yi Xue, who had been reading in her room, noticed that Yi Yue hadn't come out yet, so she went in to remind her.

"Okay, let's go out for dinner quickly." Yi Yue nodded. It was indeed very late, and if they went any later, there wouldn't be any good seats left.

"Have you packed everything?" Izuki asked Reina Yixue.

Both of them said they had packed up, because there was nothing left to pack.

Yi Yue folded the quilt, closed the window, turned off the lights and air conditioner, and prepared to go out.

As she walked into the entrance hall, Yi Yue suddenly remembered something.

"Wait for me at the door, I'm going in to get something." With that, Yi Yue ran back to her room.

Reina and Yuki exchanged a glance. Strange, what is Daddy holding?

Soon, Yi Yue came out. His hands were empty, and he didn't seem to be carrying anything.

Reina and Yuki didn't pay any attention, and the group walked down the street.

On weekend evenings, it's crowded and lively, bustling with activity and traffic.

"Rena, where do you want to eat?" Itsuki asked Rena.

Rena hesitated, wanting to eat so many things that she didn't know what to choose.

Izuki, however, thought that Reina was indecisive and suggested, "Why don't we go to that tea restaurant in Dongmen for dinner?"

"What's so good about that?" Rena said, not wanting to order food there, feeling that her father's cooking was much better than eating there.

"How about that hot pot restaurant near the East Gate?" Yi Yue suggested again. That hot pot restaurant is an old establishment, with plenty of ingredients, good value, and delicious food. When she first married Makise, they often ate hot pot there, but they hadn't been there for almost two or three years.

"Hot pot is no good, it's soggy and mushy." Rena pouted. She had tried it once and felt that the hot pot ingredients were all made of flour, soft and awful.

"Where do you like to eat?" Yi Yue asked.

"Hmm, how about we go for a barbecue buffet?" Rena said with a smile, revealing her canine teeth.

"Ah, wasn't this barbecue we just ate yesterday?" Yi Yue scratched her cheek, feeling that eating like this would easily cause internal heat.

"Eh, is that not allowed?" Rena lowered her head unhappily, looking at Itsuki with resentment. "Dad said before that we could eat anywhere."

"Alright." Izuki patted Rena's head. "It's not like Daddy won't take you to eat. It's just that eating barbecue can easily cause internal heat."

"It's not like we eat this all the time, it's fine," Rena said nonchalantly.

"Okay, then you have to finish the herbal tea I make for you tomorrow," Yi Yue said. She had specially made the herbal tea for her today, but she only drank a few sips and then refused to drink any more. Really.

"Ugh, this herbal tea is so bitter, it doesn't taste good at all!" Rena said unhappily, her face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.

"Okay, I'll add some sugar, it won't be bitter. Remember to drink it all tomorrow. The tea leaves are from a friend back home; they're good for clearing heat and detoxifying," Yi Yue advised.

Rena stuck out her tongue: "Then can I have a little?"

"Of course not!" Yi Yue said with a straight face, "Drink it all."

"Hmm." Ling lowered her head with a bitter face.

……

A new all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant has opened on the street, and it's doing a huge success.

Yi Yue led her daughters upstairs.

The barbecue restaurant was packed with people; all the tables seemed to be full.

"Welcome." The hostess greeted us with a professional smile.

A waiter approached with a smile and asked, "How many people are in your party? Are there any others coming?" He couldn't help but steal a few glances at Yi Yue and the others.

"Just three people," Yi Yue said. "Are there any seats left?"

"Yes, please follow me." The waiter led Yi Yue and the others to a window seat.

The guests at this table have just finished eating, and the table hasn't been cleaned up yet.

Immediately call another waiter to clean the table.

"It's 68 yuan per person, and 204 yuan for three people. You also need to pay a 20 yuan deposit. If there's no food left that exceeds the allowed amount, the deposit will be refunded to you," the waiter said with a smile. "Including the deposit, the total is 224 yuan."

Yi Yue handed the money to the waiter, who tore off a receipt and gave it to her, saying, "Please keep this receipt safe. You can get your deposit back later with it." The waiter then opened the grill for Yi Yue and left.

"Go get anything you'd like to eat," Yi Yue said with a smile.

Rena excitedly ran off to get the barbecue, cooked food, and drinks.

"Yixue, you go get it too," Yiyue said with a smile to Yixue, who was sitting in her seat.

"Okay." Yixue nodded and went with Yiyue to get the barbecue.

Soon, a large pile of barbecued cooked food was placed on the table.

"Why do you like eating this kind of food?" Yi Yue looked at the cooked food on the table, which consisted mostly of chicken nuggets, chicken drumsticks, chicken strips, as well as pasta and fried rice.

These were all taken by Rena.

"Rena, it's best to take less cooked food at a buffet, a lot of it isn't fresh. And if you take so much cooked food at a buffet, what if you can't eat it later?" Izuki said, pointing to the cola in Rena's glass. "Also, drink less cola, it's not good for your health. And drinking cola at a buffet makes you feel full very easily."

"Okay," Rena stuck out her tongue. "Hurry up and put the barbecue on." She urged eagerly.

Helpless, Yi Yue placed the skewers one by one on the automatic grill. The grill was automatic and could flip and rotate the skewers.

Rena's barbecue mainly consists of sausages, chicken strips, chicken wings, and chicken legs.

Sausage and chicken strips are fine, but chicken wings and drumsticks are much harder to grill. These two items are difficult to cook through, and they can easily burn if you're not careful.

Yi Yue was making barbecue with great care, occasionally pouring on sauces, sprinkling salt and cumin.

"Is Daddy ready yet?" Rena urged impatiently, her stomach growling with hunger as she smelled the aroma and longed to eat.

"I've asked you countless times." Yi Yue sighed and used tongs to put a few barbecue skewers into Rena's bowl: "Okay."

Rena couldn't wait to pick up the barbecue and eat it, but Izuki stopped her: "Wait a bit before you eat. The metal skewers are very hot and you might burn your mouth. It's best to wait a while before you eat. When you pick them up, you should also wrap them in a tissue, otherwise you might burn your hands."

"Ugh, when will we be able to eat?" Rena complained unhappily.

"Let's wait a little longer," Izuki said with a smile. She had originally wanted to pat Rena's head, but then remembered that her hands were a little dirty, so she immediately stopped herself.

Chapter Sixty-One Rise

Yi Yue roasted several chicken legs and placed them on Yi Xue's plate.

"Thank you, Dad," Yixue said with a smile.

A few minutes later, Rena stared longingly at the barbecue, pouting, "Daddy, can we eat now?"

Within minutes, Rena had asked the question many times.

Reina's pitiful appearance reminded Izuki of a cat begging for affection.

"Alright, alright," Yi Yue said helplessly, "It's almost cold now, you can eat it."

"Yay!" Rena exclaimed excitedly, eagerly stuffing barbecue into her mouth. One skewer in her left hand, one in her right, her mouth covered in sauce.

"Hey, be careful not to drip it on your clothes." Izuki pulled out a tissue and gently wiped Rena's mouth.

Rena suddenly hissed, as if she had been burned.

"What's wrong?" Yi Yue asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing, I just got burned by a metal skewer," Rena pouted. "It wasn't that hot, I was just startled, I thought it would be really hot."
