Lu Jiao turned her head and saw that none of the babies went to sleep. They all stared at her wide-eyed.
Lu Jiao realized that it was because they saw her giving Xie Erzhu candy and wanted some as well. But, it was late at night. If they eat candy now, their teeth would rot.
The boys, however, goggled at her like puppies, making it impossible for Lu Jiao to say no. So she ended up giving them a piece of candy each before she lectured them in a serious tone.
"From now on, I will give you two pieces of candy a day. But, you are not allowed to have it at night. If you eat candy at night, worms will eat out your teeth and your teeth will hurt. Got it?"
Her lecture scared the four little ones and they stared at the candy they had in hand.
They wanted to eat it but didn't dare. What a difficult position to be in!
Lu Jiao chuckled, "Once is okay. But there won't be the next time, okay?"
