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

Wen Shutang took the herbs given by Xiao Wan and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine.

Xiao Wan brought a small stool and sat beside her second brother's bed. She reached out and touched the back of Xiao Ye's hand to carefully test the temperature. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he had no other obvious symptoms.

"Second brother, although you are in good health on weekdays, you can't overexert yourself." There was a hint of anger in her tone.

Xiao Ye lay on the bed with a listless look on his face. He turned his head to look at Xiao Wan and whispered, "It's because I feel very hot after training every time, so I use well water to take a shower."

Hearing this, Xiao Wan continued with a straight face, "No wonder you have a fever. After exercise, you sweat and have a fever. You use well water to take a shower, which is exactly the opposite of your body's reaction. Don't do this next time."

Xiao Ye knew he was in the wrong, so he nodded obediently: "I will definitely not use well water to shower next time."

Xiao Wan nodded with satisfaction and reached out to tuck him in. "Then Second Brother, have a good rest. Take the medicine and have a good sleep."

Xiao Ze stood beside the bed, watching his little sister scolding Xiao Ye like a little adult. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. Not to mention that Xiao Wan really looked like a little doctor now.

Not long after, Wen Shutang came in with a bowl of medicine. She walked to the bedside, sat down, helped Xiao Ye up with one hand, and prepared to feed him the medicine.

Xiao Ye lowered his head awkwardly. He reached out to take the medicine bowl and said, "Mom, I can do it myself. I just feel a little tired. I can still drink the medicine by myself."

He muttered softly, and Wen Shutang almost didn't hear what he said. After realizing that the child might be a little shy, she couldn't help but laugh and handed the medicine bowl directly to Xiao Ye.

"Aye, are you still shy? Well, drink it yourself."

After hearing what Wen Shutang said, Xiao Ye remained silent. He just held the bowl and raised his head to drink the dark medicine. However, he did not expect that the medicine was so bitter that it made his tongue numb.

Xiao Ye immediately bared his teeth and stuck out his tongue: "Why is this medicine so bitter!"

"The characteristic of Asarum is that it is spicy and warm in nature. Of course it will be bitter, hahaha." Xiao Wan couldn't help but holding her stomach and laughing at his exaggerated expression. It turned out that teasing her second brother was the most fun thing in the world.

Wen Shutang couldn't help but curl his lips and said soothingly, "Okay, okay, medicine is bitter. How can it work if it's not bitter?"

Xiao Ye pouted and stuck out his tongue, saying, "Mom, I want to drink some water."

"Okay." Wen Shutang poured a glass of water from the table beside him and handed it to him.

Seeing that Xiao Ye seemed to be in good spirits, Xiao Yizhuo spoke up, "It's getting late, so I'll send Wan'er to town first."

When Xiao Wan heard this, she immediately jumped up from the stool: "Yes! The teacher wants to test me on reciting today, I can't be late!"

She said as she ran out: "Dad, hurry up, it's getting late."

Seeing Xiao Wan's impetuous look, Xiao Yizhuo felt helpless: "Here I come, don't worry."

He turned to look at Wen Shutang: "Then I'll go."

Then he caught up with Xiao Wan who had already run outside the yard and was waiting.

Wen Shutang looked at the two people until their backs completely disappeared before he withdrew his gaze. He turned his head to look at Xiao Ye, who was lying drowsy on the bed after drinking some water, and raised his hand to touch his forehead.

"Have a good rest, Aye. We can continue training after you recover from your illness."

Xiao Ye responded in a daze, then closed his eyes.

Wen Shutang stood up and took Xiao Ze out of the house, closed the door and let Xiao Ye have a good rest.

Standing at the door, he looked up at the morning sun, took a deep breath, and turned to the small warehouse.

Taking advantage of the good weather today, she had to quickly make some more perfume to avoid Song Zhoubai always complaining about not having enough supply.

After working for a whole afternoon, Wen Shutang wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the fifty bottles of perfume in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Now she has about a hundred bottles of perfume in her hands, which should at least last until the New Year.

She put all the perfumes in the small warehouse and now just had to wait for Song Zhoubai to send someone to pick them up.

Life is ordinary, but every day is fulfilling and happy. Wen Shutang likes this quiet and peaceful life very much.

Children's bodies have strong recovery abilities, and with Xiao Wan's help in regulating their bodies, Xiao Ye's body had fully recovered in just three days.

Xiao Ye became lively again and started to pester Wen Shutang all day long to ask her to continue teaching him Wing Chun.

Seeing that he was indeed almost recovered, Wen Shutang agreed to let him continue training, but strictly forbade Xiao Ye to take a shower with well water after training.

Xiao Wan went to Jishidiang every day to learn medicine from Xue Ming regardless of the weather, while Xiao Ze locked himself in his room every day to read "The Art of War" and the knowledge taught to him by Master Zhao.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs step by step. After staying in Qingshui Town for a few days, Pei Sheng returned to Baiping Town and began to win over people's hearts, as if he was going to take over the family business.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed and winter has fully arrived. The weather has become cold and snowflakes fall from time to time. The villagers have begun to prepare for the New Year.

Wen Shutang's courtyard was gradually filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. This was her first year here, so she had to prepare well.

"The food at home is almost gone. Let's go to the town at noon and prepare some more food so that we don't have to go out during the New Year." Wen Shutang rummaged through the large vat for storing grain in the yard and found that there was not much left inside. She turned her head and said to Xiao Yizhuo.

Xiao Yizhuo nodded, of course, without any objection. Looking at Wen Shutang's back as he rummaged through the boxes, he couldn't help but squint his eyes. Now they were becoming more and more like a real family, and he liked this feeling.

"Mom, when are we going to pick up my little sister? Didn't Grandpa Xue say that my little sister would have a day off today?" Xiao Ye ran out of the house with a broom. As the New Year was approaching, Wen Shutang sent the two children to do a thorough cleaning of the house.

Xiao Ye was naturally the first to accept this task. It was fun, but he always felt that it was less fun without his little sister.

"Bring Wan'er back when we go to town to buy groceries. The old gentleman probably won't say anything if we come back a long time earlier. It's almost the New Year anyway." Wen Shutang said without raising his head.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Xiao Ze with a smile on her face.

"By the way, I will go to the town to buy some cakes for Mr. Xue later. I also need to go to the academy to give something to Master Zhao. After all, he is an elder. As a student, Aze must wish his teacher a happy new year."
