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

As the sun set, it was time for everyone to have dinner, and Wen Shutang also began to prepare dinner.

It is best not to eat too greasy food at night, so she plans to simply make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a winter melon meatball soup, one dish and one soup, which is balanced and nutritious.

After chopping the pork into stuffing, Wen Shutang added some salt and sesame oil and simply adjusted the taste.

Neither of these dishes is very difficult to prepare, so it didn't take long to have dinner ready.

Wen Shutang walked out with the dishes, and as usual, asked everyone to come over to eat. Xiao Ye was still the first to rush out, holding an empty bowl in his hand.

"Mom, these meatballs are really delicious!"

"Bean curd meatballs are more filling. Even though they taste good, you can't eat too much at one time." Wen Shutang smiled and served him a bowl of winter melon meatball soup.

"Taste this."

Xiao Ye took the bowl from her hand and took a bite, and couldn't help but look up at her in admiration.

"Mom is so amazing. She can cook anything delicious."

Wen Shutang pinched his nose and said, "Sweet-mouthed little brat, come on, eat."

The others also served themselves a bowl of soup, and everyone ate in silence.

After dinner, Wen Shutang took out a large piece of tofu and put it in a basket to give to Aunt Sun. She turned around and said something to Xiao Yizhuo.

"I'm going out."

"It's getting dark. I'll go with you." Xiao Yizhuo put down what he was doing and stood up when he heard the voice.

"No, I'll be back soon. I have kids at home, so just stay home with them."

Hearing Wen Shutang say this, Xiao Yizhuo also felt that it made sense and nodded.

"Then you should pay more attention."

Wen Shutang responded and turned to walk out. Her home was not far from Aunt Sun's home. Although it was a little dark, she could still see the road clearly.

Aunt Sun's family seemed to have just finished dinner and were cleaning up the dishes. Aunt Sun's eldest son, Yang Dalong, was the first to see Wen Shutang. He greeted her politely, and Wen Shutang smiled back.

Yang Dalong is the same age as Xiao Ze. He was just sent to school by Aunt Sun this year and is a very honest person.

When Aunt Sun heard the voice, she turned around and smiled when she saw it was Wen Shutang.

"Why are you here at this time, girl? Have you eaten?"

"Eat it, eat it. I made something at home and thought of bringing it to you to try." Wen Shutang said as he handed her the bamboo basket.

Aunt Sun waved her hand: "What is it? Keep it for yourself. I haven't finished the food you brought me last time."

"Just take it. It's not expensive. Auntie has helped me so much. Just consider it as a token of my appreciation."

Seeing that she was so persistent, Aunt Sun couldn't refuse anymore and took the basket. She lifted the white cloth covering it and took a look at what was inside. She was stunned for a moment because she had never seen such a white square before.

"Girl, what is this food? I have never seen it before."

"This thing is called tofu, made from soybeans. My husband taught me how to make it. He said it's a delicacy from his hometown. I thought it was delicious, so I gave a piece to my aunt to try."

Wen Shutang spoke calmly as he had prepared his speech long ago. Anyway, Xiao Yizhuo was an outsider and no one knew where he came from.

As expected, when Aunt Sun heard that it was Xiao Yizhuo who taught her, she immediately put aside her suspicion: "Is that so, this thing looks white and tender and looks delicious, so thank you, sister."

"It's okay, it's late, I won't bother you anymore, Auntie, I'm going back first."

"Okay, okay, just be careful." Aunt Sun walked Wen Shutang out of the yard and watched her walk a long way before going back.

Aunt Sun's husband Yang Gang had been squatting beside her smoking a pipe, glancing at Wen Shutang from time to time. He only spoke to Aunt Sun after the man left.

"When did you become so close to Xiao's wife?"

"We live next to each other, and we got to know each other after just a few greetings." Aunt Sun talked to Yang Gang while fiddling with the tofu in the basket.

"Let me tell you, this girl is completely different from what the villagers say. Look at the polite girl who just spoke. You can tell at a glance that she is a good girl."

Yang Gang didn't respond. He tapped his pipe on the doorstep and said something in a low voice.

"I told you not to listen to what the women in the village say."

Aunt Sun clicked her tongue, and Yang Gang immediately fell silent.

Yang Dalong looked at his parents from the side, shook his head helplessly, turned back to the house to review his homework.

Wen Shutang returned home quickly. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Xiao Yizhuo still sitting at the door.

Xiao Yizhuo looked up and found Wen Shutang coming back, so he stood up.

"have a rest."

Wen Shutang was stunned for a moment. Could it be that this person was waiting for her to come back?

She hurried back to the room, and after washing up, she found Xiao Yizhuo sitting on the bed, unbuttoning her clothes with his slender fingertips.

Xiao Yizhuo looked up at her and said, "I'll have to trouble you to help me apply the medicine. I can't reach the back."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang understood. She nodded, then suddenly turned around and ran out of the house as if she remembered something.

Xiao Yizhuo stared at her back with a puzzled look.

After a while, Wen Shutang came in with a stone mortar and shook the thing in her hand.

"Use this medicine and you will get better quickly."

The wound on Xiao Yizhuo's back was so deep that the bones were visible, so applying bone-healing herb externally was naturally the best thing to do.

There was no obvious emotion in Xiao Yizhuo's eyes, and he did not say anything. He just looked at Wen Shutang quietly.

He usually wouldn't take medicine casually, after all, things of unknown origin could be harmful to him. But seeing Wen Shutang's clear and calm eyes, he had already developed the habit of doubting others in his heart, but at this moment he inexplicably believed in her.

Xiao Yizhuo nodded, took off his clothes, turned his back to Wen Shutang, revealing the hideous wound on his back.

Wen Shutang poured the herbs into his palm and smeared them on Xiao Yizhuo's back little by little. Watching the dark brown medicine slowly covering the wound, Wen Shutang spoke carefully.

“How do you think tofu tastes?”

"very nice."

Xiao Yizhuo only felt a soft hand sliding carefully on his back. He had never been interested in women, but for the first time in his life, he felt that the atmosphere was very charming. When he heard Wen Shutang's question, his Adam's apple moved and he simply responded.

"Then what do you say I should go to town and sell tofu? Who knows, I might be able to make some money." Wen Shutang didn't notice anything wrong with Xiao Yizhuo, and asked excitedly.

"It's a good idea. Tofu tastes good and has a sweet aftertaste. I think people will like it."

Hearing her words, Xiao Yizhuo lowered his head and thought about it. This was indeed a good idea. Tofu was a fresh food and might attract some diners.

"But people don't know how to eat tofu. You can bring some finished products and let people try them first."

Wen Shutang immediately nodded in agreement and patted Xiao Yizhuo on the back with an excited tone.

"I think the same thing as you do!"

She had obviously forgotten about Xiao Yizhuo's injury until she heard him take a breath.

"Sorry, I got too excited. It's okay. I've applied the medicine. Your injury is more serious than Aze's. It will take at least half a month to heal."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded. The wound on his back was numb after being slapped by Wen Shutang, but it didn't hurt that much anymore.

"When are you going to town? I'll come with you."
