I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Hearing the voice, Wen Shutang turned his head stiffly to look at Xiao Yizhuo, then slowly moved his knee away from his lower abdomen.

"Hey, um, are you okay?"

Xiao Yizhuo lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He didn't say anything for a while. The dull pain in his lower abdomen made him a little dazed.

Hearing Wen Shutang's question, he looked up at her, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his originally silent black eyes: "If Madam goes down a few inches, I'm afraid Wan'er's thoughts of wanting a brother will be completely cut off."

Wen Shutang understood what he meant and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He looked away with a guilty look on his face: "Haha... No way."

"Well, it's getting late. We have to go to town soon. I'll go prepare breakfast first. You can take a rest for a while before getting up." After saying that, Wen Shutang turned around and slipped away.

This saved her life. She had never done anything so dramatic in her life. To be honest, when she rested her knee on Xiao Yizhuo just now, she had even thought about which planet to live on.

Looking at Wen Shutang's fleeing back, Xiao Yizhuo couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and even the pain in his lower abdomen was relieved a lot.

As soon as Wen Shutang went out, he saw Xiao Wan with her hair loose sitting on a small round stool in the middle of the yard, mumbling something.

"Wan'er?" Wen Shutang called out.

Xiao Wan turned her head and looked at her: "Mom!"

"Why are you up so early?" Wen Shutang walked forward and found that Xiao Wan was holding a book in one hand and a few medicinal herbs in the other. She was probably muttering about the effects of these herbs.

Xiao Wan lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly: "I was a little excited about going to the clinic today. I couldn't sleep well anyway, so I might as well get up early and recite these things."

Wen Shutang reached out and touched her soft hair: "Good girl, shall I comb your hair now?"

"Okay." Xiao Wan's eyes lit up and he turned his back to her.

Wen Shutang picked up the wooden comb on the table and gently fiddled with Xiao Wan's black and smooth hair.

In a few moments, she had combed Xiao Wan's hair into a simple bun, making the little girl look lively and simple.

"All right."

Xiao Wan stood up, put the things in her hand on the table, turned around and ran into the room to look at her hair in the bronze mirror.

Wen Shutang looked at her back, smiled, and turned to go to the kitchen. Xiao Wan was going to the clinic to take a test today, so he had to make something delicious for her in the morning to cheer her up.

Last time I saw her, she seemed to like pancakes very much, so Wen Shutang planned to make them again today.

Just as she was mixing the batter, Xiao Wan came jumping in from outside, with a smile on her little face.

"Mom, do I look good?"

"Of course our Wan'er is beautiful." Wen Shutang did not stop his hands and turned around and replied with a smile.

Xiao Wan couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She sat aside and helped Wen Shutang light a fire. Her tone was full of love: "Mom's hands are really skillful. When I was a child, she would also comb my hair. It's as good as yours."

Wen Shutang was stunned for a moment, then he realized who the mother she was referring to was, and his heart skipped a beat.

"How about I comb Wan'er's hair every day from now on?"

"Of course!" Xiao Wan nodded happily.

After breakfast, they packed up and drove to the town in a carriage.

It was not yet noon when they arrived in the town, and Xiao Yizhuo parked the carriage not far from Jishidiang.

At this time, Xiao Wan's face was clearly nervous. Wen Shutang reached out and held her wrist, comforting her: "Wan'er, don't be nervous. You have memorized it all. There will be no problem."

"It's okay, little sister. You have the best memory among us, so there will definitely be no problem with these things." Xiao Ye also said.

Xiao Ze didn't say anything but also gave Xiao Wan a look of trust.

With everyone's encouragement, Xiao Wan took a deep breath and the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart were reduced a lot.

She nodded and then took out the ten medicinal herbs she had prepared and began to mutter to herself.

The others also tacitly kept silent and watched her make final preparations in silence.

Wen Shutang felt a little emotional as he watched Xiao Wan working hard to prepare.

Time passed quickly and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Wan raised her head and put away the herbs: "Mom, I'm fine now."

Wen Shutang turned his head and glanced at the sun outside, estimating that it was about time: "Then shall we go in?"

Xiao Wan nodded, with unprecedented seriousness and determination in his eyes.

Several people walked into Jishidiang one after another.

Ah Fu, who was counting the accounts at the counter, saw Wen Shutang at a glance. He smiled and greeted her. His eyes fell on Xiao Wan and he asked gently, "Is this my junior sister?"

Xiao Wan had never met Ah Fu before. When she heard his name, she was stunned for a moment and then whispered, "The master hasn't decided to accept me yet."

"Hey, the fact that Master is willing to give you a test proves that he has this intention. It's okay, as long as you pass the test today, you will be my little junior sister. My name is Ah Fu, and I am Master's first disciple." Ah Fu waved his hands cheerfully.

The last time Wen Shutang brought Xiao Wan here, Ah Fu happened to be out buying medicinal herbs and did not see them. But after he came back, he heard from other guys that a little girl came to become their apprentice. He had always been very curious about her, and now he finally got to see her in person.

Xiao Wan nodded. Looking at Ah Fu's frankness, her anxiety was greatly relieved.

"Please wait a moment, I will go and ask the master to come out." Ah Fu nodded slightly and then turned and walked into the inner hall.

After a while, Ah Fu lifted the curtain and said, "Master, please let Junior Sister come in alone. The others will wait in the lobby."

When Xiao Wan heard this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Wen Shutang. After receiving her encouraging look, she turned around, took a deep breath, and followed Ah Fu into the room.

When Xiao Wan passed by Ah Fu, she heard him whisper, "Don't be nervous, Master won't make things difficult for you."

Xiao Wan paused, then walked into the house. Xue Ming was leaning back in the armchair with his eyes closed.

Ah Fu bowed to him and said, "Master, I have brought the person here."

Xue Ming opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Wan, and nodded: "Well, did you bring the herbs from that day?"

Xiao Wan responded and placed the herbs she had brought with her on the table in order.

Xue Ming just glanced at it and said, "Okay, let's get started."

He picked up the herb closest to him and said, "What is this? Tell me in detail about its medicinal effects."

Xiao Wan stared at the herbs in his hand, and then answered without thinking: "Angelica dahurica has a fragrant aroma and a slightly bitter taste. Angelica dahurica is mostly oblong cone-shaped, with a gray-brown or yellow-brown surface, a solid texture, a white or grayish white cross section, and many brown oil spots. It is mostly used to relieve cold, dispel wind and relieve pain, and reduce swelling and discharge pus. In addition, Angelica dahurica can be decocted for oral administration or made into pills and powders."

After hearing her explanation, Xue Ming was stunned at first, and then his eyes showed strong surprise. He didn't say so much to Xiao Wan last time!
