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

As soon as Xiao Ye finished speaking, Xiao Wan followed up with another sentence.

"My second uncle said that we can't take all the chestnuts in one hole, otherwise the little squirrel will starve to death. So we took a little from each hole, so that the little squirrel won't starve to death." Xiao Wan said in a light tone, her little face was a little red from the cold, but she looked extremely excited.

Xiao Ze also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Second Uncle is really amazing. He can actually find so many squirrel holes in the snow."

Today, when Xiao Ze followed Wen Yaoshi to dig squirrel holes, he saw many things he had never seen before, which made him feel very novel.

Hearing the children's excited voices, Wen Shutang couldn't help but smile.

Children love to play at this age, so it is a good opportunity to go out and see nature more often.

Wen Shutang squatted down, picked up a chestnut from Xiao Ye's arms and took a bite. The sweet taste immediately spread in his mouth.

"You're amazing. You found so many. I'll give you these chestnuts as snacks. But now it's time to eat. Go wash your hands. Otherwise, you'll be in pain if you eat something dirty on your hands."

When Xiao Ye saw Wen Shutang taste the chestnuts he had found himself, he immediately felt satisfied. He nodded with shining eyes, poured the chestnuts on the table, turned around and ran to wash his hands.

Wen Yaoshi put Xiao Wan down, and Xiao Wan followed Xiao Ye's pace, turned around and ran to the well to wash his hands.

Everyone started eating only after the children had washed their hands.

The steamed buns made by Liu Sufen were really good, big and fluffy. Even Wen Shutang, who didn’t like pasta very much, couldn’t help but eat two big buns.

The three children were all tired from playing and had amazing appetites. After eating, Xiao Ye touched his round belly and sighed with satisfaction.

"Grandma's cooking is delicious, just as delicious as mom's."

Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Liu Sufen immediately laughed, and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together.

"My dear grandson, you are so sweet. In the future, bring your brothers and sisters to your grandmother's house more often. Grandma will make delicious food for you."

Xiao Ye nodded vigorously: "Yes! I must come to my grandmother's house for dinner more often in the future. I can eat a lot."

Liu Sufen was even happier. She reached out and pinched Xiao Ye's face. She felt that these three children were very likable no matter how she looked at them.

After everyone finished their meal, Wen Shutang helped Liu Sufen clean up the mess, while Xiao Wan went to the side room to chat with Zhou Tong.

She liked her pregnant aunt very much and she could feel an inexplicable affinity towards her.

Wen Shutang felt that it must be because Zhou Tong was pregnant. This was the radiance of motherhood. Xiao Wan was still a child, so she would naturally be attracted by this temperament.

Xiao Wan lifted the curtain and walked into the room. When she looked up, she saw Zhou Tong leaning against the head of the bed with needle and thread in her hand.

She called out sweetly, "Aunt."

Zhou Tong looked up when she heard the voice and found that it was Xiao Wan who came. She immediately smiled and waved to her.

"Wan'er is here, come here quickly and let your aunt take a good look at you."

Xiao Wan sat by the bed and carefully reached out to touch Zhou Tong's pregnant belly: "Aunt, do you have a stomachache? When I was studying medicine in the clinic, I always saw women with abdominal pain coming to get medicine. They all said that pregnancy was very hard. Are you tired, aunt?"

Hearing the worry and heartache in Xiao Wan's tone, Zhou Tong suddenly felt warm in her heart. She reached out and pulled Xiao Wan into her arms, gently touching her soft hair.

"It's okay, Auntie doesn't feel any pain. Everything is for the baby in her belly, so the pain is nothing. You'll understand when Wan'er grows up. Wan'er is really sensible. She even knows how to care about Auntie whether it's painful or not."

Xiao Wan stayed obediently in Zhou Tong's arms and sniffed hard. She liked the smell of Zhou Tong, which was sweet.

"Didn't my aunt say that she wanted to show Wan'er the tiger-head shoes for her younger brothers and sisters?"

After hearing this, Zhou Tong suddenly remembered something and immediately reached out to take out a pair of small and exquisite tiger-head shoes from the needle and thread basket next to her and handed them to Xiao Wan.

"Yes, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. Ever since I had the child, my memory has been getting worse and worse. Wan'er, take a look at these tiger-head shoes, what do you think?"

"Is this hand-embroidered by my aunt? So amazing." Xiao Wan took the tiger-head shoes and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The tiger head on the shoe is small and exquisite. Even Xiao Wan, who doesn't know needlework, can tell how much effort it took to make it like this.

It can be seen that Zhou Tong really attaches great importance to the baby in her belly.

Hearing Xiao Wan's praise, Zhou Tong showed a hint of shyness on her face: "Wan'er is so sweet, I just embroidered this, I wasn't very satisfied with it at first."

"You're still not satisfied, aunt, this is too beautiful."

Xiao Wan sincerely envied the unborn child in Zhou Tong's belly. They were so lucky that they could wear the tiger-head shoes embroidered by their mother as soon as they were born.

But she could no longer see her mother. Although Wen Shutang was very good to her, Xiao Wan still missed her biological mother a little and couldn't help feeling depressed.

But Xiao Wan knew how to hide her emotions. She did not show any sad expression in front of Zhou Tong, and there was still a faint smile on her face.

So Zhou Tong didn't notice that there was something wrong with Xiao Wan. She was immersed in the joy of welcoming a newborn baby.

Fearing that Zhou Tong was too tired, Xiao Wan did not stay in the room for too long. When Wen Ruizhou came back with the water, Xiao Wan had already left.

Zhou Tong held the pair of tiger-head shoes in her hands, looked at Xiao Wan's back as she left, and said to Wen Ruizhou with admiration: "This child is so sensible. I wish I could have a daughter like her."

"Of course she can. You have a gentle and lively personality. I think if you give birth to a daughter, she will be as sensible as Wan'er." Wen Ruizhou smiled and poured her a cup of hot water, responding gently.

After Xiao Wan walked out of the side room, Wen Shutang had just finished cleaning up. She saw Xiao Wan walking out of the room with his head down. For some reason, Wen Shutang felt that something was wrong with Xiao Wan, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

Wen Shutang walked up to Xiao Wan, squatted down, and touched her head with his hand: "Wan'er, have you seen the tiger-head shoes embroidered by your aunt?"

Xiao Wan nodded: "I saw it, my aunt is amazing, the embroidery is so beautiful, I really envy my younger brothers and sisters."

Wen Shutang was stunned: "Envy?"

Xiao Wan then remembered what she had just said, and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered, "I just envy my younger brothers and sisters for being able to wear the tiger-head shoes hand-embroidered by my aunt as soon as they are born, and now they are cherished by my aunt and uncle before they are even born."

After hearing this, Wen Shutang immediately understood why she felt that something was wrong with Xiao Wan. It turned out to be because of this. Xiao Wan lost both parents when she was a child, and was abused by Wen Shutang when she was a little older.

No matter how nice she is to Xiao Wan now, the little girl has been left with an indelible scar in her heart. Now seeing Zhou Tong's anticipation for the baby in her belly, she naturally feels a little emotional.

Thinking of this, Wen Shutang's heart suddenly ached. She reached out and hugged Xiao Wan in her arms, gently stroking the ends of her hair.

"Wan'er, I apologize to you for what I did before. I will treat you well in the future, just like my aunt treats her children. You are also my biological daughter."
