After returning to the house, the three kids looked at the eggs in their hands, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Brother, Mom has become so strange. Why is she suddenly so nice to us?" Xiao Ye spoke first. He looked at Xiao Ze while biting an egg.
Xiao Wan also took a small bite of the egg yolk very cherishingly: "Has mother really gotten better?"
"Have you so easily forgotten that she sold her little sister?"
Xiao Ze frowned tightly, put the eggs on the table, turned around, went to bed, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
No matter what this woman does, he will never let her hurt his brothers and sisters again.
Hearing their eldest brother say this, the expressions of the brother and sister suddenly dimmed.
Wen Shutang was lying on the bed which was a little uncomfortable for her waist. She suddenly missed the soft and comfortable mattress at home.
She sighed. Although she was in a book she had read before, she only knew the general plot and didn't know the details. It was still unknown whether she could change the minds of the three villains. Her future life might be very difficult.
When Wen Shutang thought of the miserable end of the original owner in the original plot, he couldn't help but frown. No, he had to enjoy his old age in peace.
Sleepiness came over her, so she simply stopped thinking about it, turned over, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Life is long, so take your time.
It was almost noon the next day when Wen Shutang opened her eyes drowsily. She hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time.
When she was a boss, she had a lot of trivial things to deal with every day. She had to get up at five o'clock every morning to deal with documents. She got up earlier than a dog and went to bed later than a cow.
Now it seems that it is most comfortable to sleep until the sun shines on my butt.
She opened her eyes but did not get out of bed immediately. Instead, she lay in bed for a while until her head was completely clear before she reluctantly got out of bed and got dressed.
After putting on his clothes, Wen Shutang opened the door and walked out. He was in a good mood looking at the bright sunshine.
When I turned around, I saw Xiao Ye dragging a long-branched broom that was a head taller than him, sweeping the dead leaves in the yard with great effort.
Xiao Ye also saw Wen Shutang, and he seemed to be startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Wen Shutang knew that the harm the original owner had brought to the children could not be healed in a day or two, and the estrangement between them could not be eliminated in the short term.
"Why are you alone? Where are Aze and Wan'er?"
"Brother went to the mountain to collect firewood. I should be preparing food for you." Xiao Ye replied in a low voice, holding a broom.
Wen Shutang nodded and turned to walk towards the kitchen: "Be careful not to get your hands pricked by the branches."
Xiao Ye stared blankly at Wen Shutang's back. Why did he feel that his mother seemed to have changed and yet not changed? Although she still got up so late, she actually cared about him now?
As soon as Wen Shutang entered the kitchen, he saw Xiao Wan standing on a stool and reaching for the bowl on the cupboard with great effort.
The little body was wobbling and couldn't stand steadily, it looked dangerous no matter how you looked at it.
Before Wen Shutang could think about it, the stool she was standing on suddenly tilted to the side, and Xiao Wan also fell to the side.
She was so scared that she subconsciously closed her eyes and screamed, but the pain she imagined did not come. Instead, she fell into a soft embrace.
Xiao Wan opened her eyes carefully. Wen Shutang half-knelt in front of her and caught her steadily.
"Did you bump into anything? Don't stand so high next time. What if you fall?"
Wen Shutang looked her up and down several times, and was relieved when he saw that she had no obvious injuries.
"Mom...you, what's wrong with you..." Xiao Wan swallowed, and froze in Wen Shutang's arms, not daring to move, and her words even stuttered.
What happened to her mother? Why did she protect her? If it were the past, her mother would have scolded her for being clumsy.
Wen Shutang helped her up and brushed the dust off her clothes.
What happened just now happened so suddenly that Wen Shutang didn't think much about it. She just felt that she shouldn't let such a young child get hurt, so she rushed over.
"If you need something out of reach in the future, ask your two brothers, or you can ask me."
Wen Shutang touched her head. Well, it felt as good as always.
She stood up, reached out to take the bowl that Xiao Wan was about to take, and found the steamed buns that she was going to throw away yesterday in it.
"What are you going to do with this?"
Xiao Wan shrank her neck and spoke in a low voice.
“It’s not bad, it’s still edible...”
Although this steamed bread is a little hard, it is not rotten after all. It would be a shame to throw it away.
Xiao Wan originally thought that they could heat it up and have a meal with it, after all, in the past, when their mother was angry, she wouldn't even give them steamed buns to eat.
"Then heat it up. Haven't you three eaten yet?"
Xiao Wan nodded: "Brother is not back from collecting firewood yet."
Moreover, it turned out that they couldn't eat until Wen Shutang woke up.
"Well, go to the door and see if he's back."
Wen Shutang started to heat up the rice as he spoke. There was some millet porridge and two sweet potatoes left over from yesterday, and with two eggplants, it was barely enough for lunch.
"Mom, why don't I do it? You were tired yesterday." Xiao Wan stood behind her and had not left yet. She was a little hesitant.
"No need." Wen Shutang refused subconsciously, but then he thought of something and changed his words.
"No, Wan'er, come and help me light the fire, okay?"
Xiao Wan nodded vigorously, then took a small stool and sat down obediently beside the stove.
Wen Shutang felt a little more fond of the well-behaved little girl as he looked at her.
She picked up the eggplant, washed it, peeled it and cut it into dice. When the oil was hot, she fried it in the pan, then took it out, wiped the bottom of the pan and started to roast the eggplant.
However, Wen Shutang soon discovered a problem: there was no soy sauce at home, only a little bean paste.
She thought about it and decided that the two should taste similar, so she simply used bean paste instead.
Before long, a plate of attractive roasted eggplant was ready.
"Go see if your brother is back. It's time to eat."
Xiao Wan nodded, stood up and ran out.
Wen Shutang followed her out slowly, carrying the dishes and hot sweet potatoes.
Xiao Ye had finished sweeping the floor a long time ago. He squatted at the gate of the yard, staring outside, probably waiting for Xiao Ze.
Wen Shutang put the dishes on the table and wiped his hands.
"Come here, Aye, get the chopsticks and the bowl, it's time to eat."
Xiao Ye responded, stood up, ran in, walked out carefully with a stack of bowls and placed them on the table.
Wen Shutang turned her head and looked towards the door. She frowned. It was already this late and Xiao Ze hadn't come back yet.
Just when she was beginning to get worried, Xiao Ze came limping back slowly from a distance carrying a bundle of firewood.
The bundle of firewood seemed taller than Xiao Ze, and it was quite difficult for him to carry it.
Xiao Wan was the first to see him and pointed at him and shouted.
"Big brother is back!"
Wen Shutang naturally saw it as well, but what she noticed first was Xiao Ze's right foot, which was a little afraid to put the ground.
Is this an injury?
