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

"No, no, it's not time to take medicine yet." Hearing Wen Shutang's words, Liu Sufen's attention was immediately attracted.

Xiao Yizhuo, who was standing aside, naturally understood why Wen Shutang said that, and pursed his lips to suppress the smile that was about to appear on his lips.

Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Xiao Yizhuo appropriately stopped talking about the matter and instead began to care about Liu Sufen's health.

Seeing that Xiao Yizhuo was such a filial son-in-law, Liu Sufen became even more satisfied with him.

"It's okay, it's just a minor illness. It will be fine in two days. But you, young man, please don't get sick from the cold."

"Thank you for your concern, mother-in-law. I have already drunk some ginger water."

"that's great."

Wen Shutang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them were no longer continuing the previous topic. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of so many people.

Her eyes fell on Xiao Yizhuo's face as he was greeting Liu Sufen, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

This man is quite perceptive at this time.

The two Wen brothers also stood at the head of the bed, watching this heartwarming scene with a smile on their faces.

Zhou Tong held Wen Ruizhou's arm and looked very happy: "I told you that my brother-in-law would return safely."

Wen Ruizhou echoed, "Yes, this is called good luck comes naturally."

Xiao Ze lay on Liu Sufen's legs and said in a muffled voice: "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."

The whole family was immediately amused, and Wen Shutang's face also showed a smile.

Xiao Yizhuo looked at her with burning eyes. Only Wen Shutang's figure was reflected in his dark eyes, and he could not let go of anyone else.

After talking with Liu Sufen for a while, Wen Shutang and his family packed up and prepared to go home.

I've lived in my mother's house for too long and it's time to go back to my own home.

Liu Sufen was naturally reluctant to leave: "Stay one more night, it won't be too late to go back tomorrow."

Without waiting for Wen Shutang to speak, Wen Qing took a puff of his pipe and replied, "What difference does it make whether you stay for one night or not? Old woman, you should let Xiao Qiuer go home earlier."

Hearing her old partner say this, Liu Sufen had no choice but to agree even though she was reluctant.

Wen Shutang touched the back of her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, Mom. We're not far away anyway. I'll go back and pack up and come back to see you in a few days."

Seeing that their grandmother was in a low mood, Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan walked up to her sensibly and said a few witty remarks, which immediately made Liu Sufen laugh.

After packing up their things, they returned home. After not being back for several days, the house became particularly deserted, and a layer of white snow accumulated on the small wooden table where they usually ate.

Wen Shutang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the yard full of snow. It seemed that clearing the snow was also a big project.

After putting her things in the room, she began to prepare to clean up.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that she almost finished cleaning up. Fortunately, she had three children to help her. If she had to clean up by herself, it would probably take her until tomorrow.

Seeing that she was so tired, Xiao Yizhuo took the initiative to make dinner.

Although he knew that his cooking skills were average, Wen Shutang was so tired that he didn't want to move a finger, so he just left it to him.

Before long, smoke began to rise from the kitchen, adding a touch of homely atmosphere to the small courtyard.

Wen Shutang sat in the room watching Xiao Ze reviewing his homework. As expected, she would always fall asleep whenever she saw knowledge.

She yawned and looked at the words flying around on the book, but finally she couldn't help but go to bed.

When Xiao Yizhuo finished cooking and came to call her to eat, he found that Wen Shutang was already asleep.

He asked the three children to prepare the dishes first, while he stayed by the bed and quietly looked at Wen Shutang's peaceful sleeping face.

He had always been single. After having three children, he felt that his life had direction. It was not until he met Wen Shutang that he truly understood that life was vivid and lively.

Xiao Yizhuo had experienced many dangerous situations before, and the people around him were also worried and concerned about him, but only Wen Shutang's concern really left a mark in his heart.

This feeling is wonderful and indescribable.

Xiao Yizhuo's eyes unconsciously became gentle and warm when he looked at Wen Shutang. He reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for her without waking her up.

She must have been very tired these days, and there is a noticeable pale blue color under her eyes.''

Xiao Yizhuo tiptoed out of the room, closed the door, and went to prepare a separate dinner for Wen Shutang.

Only after doing all this did he prepare to eat.

Xiao Ye poked his head towards the room and asked, biting his chopsticks, "Mom, don't you want to eat?"

"She is too tired, let her sleep first." Xiao Yizhuo served each child a bowl of white porridge.

After hearing Xiao Yizhuo's explanation, the three children nodded in understanding and finished their meal quietly. Xiao Wan took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Xiao Ye completed the exercise task assigned by Wen Shutang on time, and Xiao Ze returned to his room to review his homework without slacking off.

Wen Shutang didn't wake up until it was completely dark. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yizhuo leaning his head to the side and squinting at her under the dim light.

She was stunned for a moment and then reacted, sat up and yawned: "How long have I slept?"

"One hour." Seeing that she woke up, Xiao Yizhuo stood up and went out to bring in the food that had been heating in the pot.

"Come and have something to eat."

Wen Shutang had just woken up and was already hungry. When he smelled the fragrance of the food, his stomach started to growl.

He stood up and walked to the table, made his meal, tasted the porridge and didn't taste any strange taste, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"What have you been eating these days in the mountains?"

"There are many squirrel nests on the back mountain. Squirrels usually store a lot of chestnuts, which are enough for a few meals." Xiao Yizhuo sat beside her and explained patiently, pouring her a cup of hot water and handing it to her.

Squirrel nests can be seen everywhere on the back mountain, and thanks to these squirrel nests, he was able to stay on the mountain for so many days.

Wen Shutang nodded in understanding. Indeed, these animals that stored winter food could save lives at critical moments.

"You're quite smart." Wen Shutang took the cup and took a sip.

"It's okay." Xiao Yizhuo raised his eyebrows but did not deny it.

Wen Shutang glanced at him. This guy was quite immodest.

After she finished her meal, Xiao Yizhuo took out a quilt from the cupboard and still planned to sleep on the floor.

Wen Shutang looked at the cement floor and frowned slightly. It was a bit too cold to sleep on the floor in the winter.

"Why don't you come to bed?"

Xiao Yizhuo paused while holding the quilt, and turned to look at Wen Shutang with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Don't think too much. The ground is too cold. I'm just worried that you'd be frozen and unable to work." Wen Shutang explained, then stood up and pushed her own bedding inside.

Seeing that Xiao Yizhuo didn't move, Wen Shutang simply got out of bed, took the quilt from his hand and spread it on the bed.

"Don't worry about it, it's just sleeping."

Xiao Yizhuo's eyes darkened. Does this woman know what she is talking about? What does it mean to just sleep? Can't you only sleep in the same bed with your close ones?
