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

Hearing what Liu Sufen said, the two children immediately became interested and were no longer so enthusiastic about the meat. They both started scrambling for the dumplings.

Xiao Ye was the first to put two dumplings into his bowl, not caring at all that the dumplings were still steaming and ate one in one bite.

However, he did not eat the copper coin. Xiao Wan watched him happily and then picked up a dumpling for herself. She took a careful bite and still did not eat the copper coin.

The two children were disappointed at first because of the bad start.

Looking at the childish looks of the two children, Wen Shutang couldn't help but smile, then picked up the round dumplings that Xiao Yizhuo had just put in the bowl for her, opened her mouth and took a bite, the salty and fresh taste immediately burst in her mouth, and at the same time she felt something hit her teeth hard, and she frowned immediately in pain.

Wen Shutang spat out the thing in his mouth that was hurting his teeth, and the coin fell on the table with a dull sound.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the voice, and Liu Sufen said with a smile.

"It seems that our Xiao Qiu'er is the most fortunate. She found a copper coin in the first dumpling she ate. That's great."

The others also agreed with a smile, and Wen Qing looked at his daughter with eyes full of tenderness and love.

Wen Shutang stared blankly at the coin on the table that was still stained with a little meat filling. This was the first time in all these years that she had eaten a coin in a dumpling.

This dumpling was picked up for her by Xiao Yizhuo. Wen Shutang subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Yizhuo who was sitting next to her.

When she looked up, she saw Xiao Yizhuo also staring at her, and a gentle smile appeared on his originally cold and indifferent face.

"What a blessing."

Wen Shutang's heart skipped a beat, as if something had disrupted his heartbeat.

This luck was brought to her by Xiao Yizhuo.

Seeing that one of the three copper coins had appeared, the two children put dumplings into their bowls even more anxiously.

Liu Sufen looked at the two children and smiled as she picked up a few dumplings for each of them: "Don't worry, there are more."

Xiao Ze didn't care much about these things. He put the first dumpling into Wen Qing's bowl and said, "Grandfather, eat first."

Seeing this, Wen Qing was even more satisfied with Xiao Ze. He smiled and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Seeing that their elder brother was so polite, Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan stopped fighting over the food. It seemed so impolite to fight over the food at the dinner table.

Wen Shutang was still immersed in the emotion for a long time, and didn't come back to her senses until Xiao Yizhuo patted her on the shoulder.

"what happened to you?"

"It's nothing. This is indeed a good sign." Wen Shutang shook her head and responded with a smile. It must be said that she was in an extremely good mood right now.

When Xiao Yizhuo saw her smile, his heart choked a little. It seemed that the thing that had annoyed her just now was over.

Wen Shutang had just eaten coins because when he went to the kitchen to help Liu Sufen make dumplings, he specifically asked if there were any coins, and then took note of the appearance of dumplings containing coins.

Although it was just a metaphor, Xiao Yizhuo just wanted Wen Shutang to receive this blessing.

He clearly felt that Wen Shutang's mood had improved. Somehow, when he saw her smile, Xiao Yizhuo also became happy.

After the family finished dinner, they began to clean the table. The three copper coins were eaten by Wen Shutang, Xiao Ze and Zhou Tong respectively.

This made Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan very envious, but they did not cry or complain that they did not receive any blessings. Instead, they were happy for their eldest brother.

Xiao Yizhuo prepared the carriage in advance, and everyone could set off for the town after cleaning up the mess.

Liu Sufen didn't want Zhou Tong to go because she was pregnant, fearing that something might happen to her. But Zhou Tong loved the hustle and bustle, and she persuaded Liu Sufen to let her go.

Fortunately, the carriage was large enough to accommodate all these people.

Wen Ruizhou watched Zhou Tong change into thick clothes and made sure that she would not catch a cold before helping her get into the carriage.

Xiao Yizhuo sat in the front driving the car and soon arrived at the town.

Although it was late at night, the town was still bustling with the sound of firecrackers. Children in new winter clothes were running on the street holding candied haws.

Various vendors have not gone home yet, and the streets are filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere.

After Xiao Yizhuo parked the carriage, everyone got out.

Seeing this lively scene, smiles appeared on everyone's face.

Especially Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan, their little faces flushed as they looked at the bustling streets and seemed very excited.

Wen Ruizhou helped Zhou Tong get out of the car carefully. Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“It’s still lively during the Chinese New Year.”

"Yes, everyone has worked hard for a year and has been waiting for this day." Wen Shutang said with a smile behind her.

"It's almost midnight, let's go to Yong'an Bridge, there are many things to see there." Xiao Yizhuo spoke at the right time.

The group crossed the street and walked to Yong'an Bridge. There were still many people here, and there were brightly lit cruise ships on the river, which seemed to have a particularly New Year atmosphere.

Zhou Tong saw a stall selling walnut cakes near the bridge and her eyes lit up. She pointed at the stall and said to Wen Ruizhou, "Let's go buy that. I want to eat some."

Wen Ruizhou had no objection. He would usually meet the requests of his pregnant wife. He simply said something to Wen Shutang and helped Zhou Tong to buy walnut cakes.

Wen Qing also started to stroll with his hands behind his back. Liu Sufen couldn't take her eyes off him and naturally followed him.

Seeing this, Wen Shutang said, "How about this, everyone go for a walk and gather back to where the carriages are parked after the fireworks are over."

Hearing this, Wen Ruizhou nodded and held out his hand to the three children: "Come on, Second Uncle will buy you some candied haws."

But in a moment, Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo were the only ones left on the bridge.

They stood by the bridge and no one spoke. Wen Shutang looked quietly at the sparkling river water, feeling unprecedented peace in his heart.

"How do you know there are copper coins in that dumpling?" she asked softly.

"I don't know, you are lucky." Xiao Yizhuo answered seriously.

Wen Shutang suddenly smiled and glanced at him: "Don't lie to me, I saw you and mother cooking dumplings together."

Xiao Yizhuo didn't expect to be discovered. He lowered his head, clenched his fist, put it to his lips, and coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

"I just wanted to tease you then, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law would keep harping on this matter. These dumplings are my apology." He said in a low voice, his eyes wandering and he didn't dare to look at Wen Shutang.

Wen Shutang looked at him as he lowered his eyes to explain, and his heart began beating uncontrollably faster again.

She licked her dry lips and felt her voice become hoarse: "You are very good to me, different from my parents and children. I like this feeling very much. You are the first man who gives me this feeling, so..."

When Xiao Yizhuo heard this, his heart clenched and he felt his mind stopped. He suddenly looked up at Wen Shutang and was caught off guard by her pure and clear eyes.

The moment their eyes met, several brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky. The fireworks were reflected in the eyes of the two, stirring up some indescribable emotions.

With the deafening sound of fireworks, Wen Shutang looked at Xiao Yizhuo and slowly whispered: "My feelings for you are different. It's a feeling I've never had before. This should be love."

She didn't know whether Xiao Yizhuo heard it clearly or not, but she saw Xiao Yizhuo's pupils suddenly shrink.
