Liu Sufen was helping Wen Shutang in the kitchen. Naturally, she noticed Xiao Yizhuo's performance and praised him while picking vegetables.

"At first I thought this son-in-law was a bad talker, but now it seems that's not the case. Not only is he polite, but he's also very capable. Xiao Qiuer is really married to a good man."

"Haha, yes, that's right."

Wen Shutang pursed her lips as she listened to Liu Sufen's praise. She smiled and agreed with Liu Sufen, but she could never have imagined that Xiao Yizhuo, who usually had no expression and could choke people to death with his words, could actually be so good at coaxing his elders.

Shaking her head and stopping thinking about anything else, she took out the tofu that she had just made last night from the cupboard, cut it into small pieces and prepared to start cooking. However, Liu Sufen's next words almost made her throw the tofu away.

"How are you guys doing lately? Are you planning to have another child?" Liu Sufen glanced at the people in the yard, lowered her voice deliberately, and nudged Wen Shutang's back with her elbow.

Wen Shutang: Okay, the second biggest problem after urging marriage is urging people to have children.

She now had an indescribable feeling. How should she tell Liu Sufen that she and Xiao Yizhuo didn't even sleep in the same bed?

"Oh, mother, I don't think too much about it now. The three children are still young. I have done so many wrong things in the past. Now I just want to make it up to them. As for whether I want to have children or not, I will talk about it later."

When Liu Sufen heard this, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"That needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

"Hey! The water is boiling! Let me cook." Wen Shutang interrupted Liu Sufen and ran to the other side to start cooking.

Liu Sufen looked helplessly at her youngest daughter who was obviously trying to avoid the question, but she also agreed with Wen Shutang's words about making up for the three children, so she didn't say anything more.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Wen Shutang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The people in the yard didn't know what the mother and daughter talked about in the kitchen. Zhou Tong sat in the yard, touching her belly. She looked around and found that Wen Shutang actually raised chickens.

This surprised her a little. How could a lazy guy like Wen Shutang raise poultry now?

Xiao Wan on the side had been secretly looking at her aunt who was pregnant. She had just heard from her grandmother that her aunt was pregnant with a little brother or sister, and she was very curious about it.

Wen Ruizhou noticed Xiao Wan's gaze and tugged at Zhou Tong's sleeve to let her look.

Zhou Tong turned around and met Xiao Wan's gaze. They were both stunned. Xiao Wan's cheeks turned red and she looked away in panic.

After pretending to pick her fingers for a while, she looked up and found Zhou Tong still staring at her. Xiao Wan plucked up the courage to point to the small cage over there.

"There's a little rabbit over there, would you like to take a look, aunt?"

Zhou Tong was pregnant at the moment, and her whole body was filled with the radiance of motherhood. As she looked at Xiao Wan, she was already imagining the child she would give birth to.

Zhou Tong's heart melted when she heard Xiao Wan's childish voice, and she waved to Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan walked up to her in small steps, staring at her belly with her round eyes.

Zhou Tong liked her even more as she looked at her, and her voice became gentler.

"You have a little rabbit?"

"Yes, my mother asked me to raise them. There are two of them, one white and one gray. The gray one is injured, but it's very fat." Xiao Wan felt Zhou Tong's kindness and was not as shy as before.

She looked at Zhou Tong's belly and asked in a low voice: "Is there really a little brother or sister in my aunt's belly?"

Zhou Tong also lowered her head and looked at her belly: "Of course I have it. Your name is Wan'er, right? Do you want to touch your aunt's belly?"

Xiao Wan's eyes lit up immediately: "Is it okay?"

Zhou Tong nodded, and took Xiao Wan's hand and placed it on her belly. Her mother-in-law Liu Sufen wanted her to give birth to a son to continue the Wen family's incense, but she herself preferred a well-behaved little girl like Xiao Wan. If she let Xiao Wan touch her belly, she might also get some girlish air.

Xiao Wan felt the warmth in his palm with surprise, and had an indescribable wonderful feeling in his heart.

Wen Ruizhou watched the interaction between the two gently from the side. As a new father, every child looks cute to him.

Suddenly he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled. He turned around and found Xiao Ye pulling his clothes and looking at him with his head tilted, holding a bowl in his hand.

"Uncle, these are the bean curd balls that mom made. They are delicious. Mom said that my aunt will be tired easily when she is pregnant with my brothers and sisters, so she needs to eat something to fill her stomach first."

When Wen Ruizhou heard this, his heart softened. He took the bowl from Xiao Ye and handed it to Zhou Tong.

"Look how sensible my little sister is. The children she taught are also very polite."

When Xiao Ye heard his uncle praising him, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Bah!"

Xiao Ye looked back and saw Wen Yaoshi holding a very straight and smooth branch in his hand. His eyes were immediately filled with admiration.

"Second uncle is so handsome, can I play with him?"

Wen Yaoshi said proudly: "I spent a long time looking for this, unless Ah Ye comes over and lets me pinch his face."

Xiao Ye rushed to him, hugged his calf, and stared at the tree branch: "Second uncle is the best, let me play with it."

Wen Yaoshi picked him up and pinched his tender little face, revealing a satisfied smile of success, and gave the branch in his hand to Xiao Ye.

The others laughed helplessly when they saw how childish the two were.

Liu Sufen, who was in the kitchen, sighed when she saw her second son's childish behavior: "How can he talk to his wife in the future if he behaves like this?"

Wen Shutang really likes his second brother's eccentric personality: "Don't worry, my second brother has so many friends, he will definitely not have to worry about being single."

Xiao Ze stayed quietly beside Xiao Yizhuo, listening to him and Wen Qing chatting, then turned his head to look at the lively atmosphere in the yard. He felt dazed, as if he had been suffering here not long ago.

Now that he has enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, Xiao Ze feels that it is a little unrealistic. Suddenly he is afraid that this is just a dream.

Noticing the confusion on Xiao Ze's face, Xiao Yizhuo patted his shoulder: "What's wrong? Are you cold?"

Xiao Ze was brought back to his senses by Xiao Yizhuo's pat, and shook his head: "No."

Wen Qing glanced at Xiao Ze, and a look of approval appeared on his honest face.

"How does it feel to go to the academy?"

"Very good, the teacher treats me very well." Xiao Ze nodded in reply.

"That's good. We must learn some skills and get out of this small village in the future." Wen Qing said with some emotion.

"I know, Grandfather."

The peaceful atmosphere in the yard did not last long as it was interrupted by the sound of horse hooves.

Wen Shutang poked her head out of the kitchen and saw the carriage parked at the gate of the yard. She frowned.

Cheng Bo got off the carriage and was stunned when he saw so many people in the yard. Then he bowed to Wen Shutang.

"I'm so sorry to bother you suddenly, Madam Wen. Madam has asked me to ask you to go to the Liang Mansion."
