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

Wen Shutang reached out and touched Xiao Wan's forehead, and said in a gentle tone: "It's great that Wan'er is so motivated. I'll take you to the town's clinic in a few days when everyone feels better."

Hearing Wen Shutang say this, Xiao Wan immediately smiled and nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will definitely study hard."

After saying this, he turned around and dumped all the chaff in his hand onto the ground: "Mom, I'm going to cook. You should have a good rest today. Dad only knows how to make porridge. I dare not rely on him to do anything else."

Xiao Wan stuck out her tongue, and out of the corner of her eye she saw a tall figure walking up behind Wen Shutang. She immediately shut her mouth and ran to the kitchen.

Wen Shutang looked at her back with a smile. The little girl was becoming more and more lively.

"Why did Wan'er run away when she saw me?" Xiao Yizhuo walked to Wen Shutang's side and frowned slightly when he saw Xiao Wan running away.

"Maybe you are too fierce." Wen Shutang replied with a smile and shrugged.

Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips in confusion. He didn't do anything just now. How could Xiao Wan be afraid of him?

"Let's take Wan'er to the town in a few days. She wants to study medicine, which I think is a good thing." Wen Shutang turned around and looked at Xiao Yizhuo and said.

Xiao Yizhuo of course had no objection to this and nodded: "Okay, wait until you and Aze recover."

While the two were talking, Xiao Ye walked in from outside, holding a bundle of dry firewood in his hands. His little face was red and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Aye." Wen Shutang called him.

When Xiao Ye heard the voice, he turned his head and saw smiles on Wen Shutang and the other man's faces. He put down the firewood in his hands, turned around and walked up to them.

"Mom, why did you get out of bed? Are you feeling better?"

"I'll get out and walk around when I'm okay. I can't just lie in bed all the time. My bones will become sore." Wen Shutang responded with a smile.

"What did Aye do?"

"I went to collect firewood and ran around the village to prepare for practicing martial arts." Xiao Ye scratched his head embarrassedly.

Ever since Wen Shutang said he could teach him martial arts, he has become restless.

In addition, Xiao Wan had just told him that there was no firewood at home, so he simply went to collect firewood and ran a few laps to warm up his body.

Seeing Xiao Ye in such high spirits, Wen Shutang thought of what Xiao Ze had said to her, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She walked forward, squatted down, hugged Xiao Ye's small body, and patted his back silently.

Xiao Ye was stunned when he was suddenly hugged by Wen Shutang. He stiffened his body and hugged Wen Shutang back carefully.

"Mom? What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I just want to hug you." Wen Shutang suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart and smiled.

"I happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll teach you a little bit first."

Hearing this, Xiao Ye immediately became excited: "Really?"

"Of course." Wen Shutang smiled and pinched his cheek.

Xiao Yizhuo stood behind them and watched their interaction, his handsome face filled with soft light: "Are you feeling well?"

"It's okay, my throat is just dry, there's nothing wrong with me." Wen Shutang waved his hand.

She stood up and took Xiao Ye to the open space in the middle of the yard: "Practicing martial arts is a long-term thing. You must not rush for success at the beginning, so Ah Ye must be prepared for a long period of training."

Xiao Ye nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely be able to hold on."

Wen Shutang reached out and touched his head: "That's good. Then the first step is to spread your legs, lower your center of gravity, and raise your hands."

Xiao Ye followed her description and assumed a horse stance. Soon he began to feel a soreness in his arms, legs, and lower back.

"How does Aye feel now?" Wen Shutang stood beside him and observed his expression.

The basic skill of martial arts is horse stance. Only when the horse stance is stable, your hands and feet will be stable when you move forward.

"It's very sore, especially my legs." Xiao Ye frowned and expressed his feelings.

"That's right. The sore feeling proves that your body is unstable and your core strength is not strong. Now keep this position and don't move. You can stand up straight only when I say it's okay, Aye." Wen Shutang's voice turned cold. Since she decided to teach Xiao Ye martial arts, she would definitely take it 100% seriously.

Xiao Ye nodded and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from shaking.

Xiao Yizhuo stood aside with his arms folded, raised his eyebrows at Xiao Ye's movements. It was the first time he saw someone practicing martial arts like this.

Wen Shutang pulled out a long, straight wooden stick from a bundle of dry firewood in the corner, and used it to point out the shortcomings of Xiao Ye's movements from time to time.

"Don't shake, hold on for a while, you'll be resting soon."

Wen Shutang was a little dazed for a moment, as if she had said these words when she was training new recruits.

She turned around and stood beside Xiao Yizhuo.

"This is the first time I've seen this method." Xiao Yizhuo turned his head to look at Wen Shutang.

"This is called horse stance. If you stick to it for a long time, your body will become more stable and your moves will be more powerful. In my hometown, this is the basic skill of martial arts." Wen Shutang glanced at him and explained in a low voice.

Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly: "Can you use a sword?"

"I know a little." Wen Shutang raised her eyebrows. Her swordsmanship was not bad either.

Xiao Yizhuo was not surprised. Just by looking at Wen Shutang's appearance, he knew that she was not a delicate girl.

Especially the cold look he revealed when he was instructing Xiao Ye just now.

Wen Shutang estimated that a quarter of an hour had passed before letting Xiao Ye rest: "Okay, relax."

Hearing this, Xiao Ye suddenly lost his strength and sat down on the ground gasping for breath. After just maintaining this posture for a quarter of an hour, he was already sweating profusely.

Wen Shutang was actually a little surprised. It was already good enough for a kid like Xiao Ye to last five minutes, but he didn't expect that he could actually last a quarter of an hour, or fifteen minutes.

It seems that he is indeed a good candidate for martial arts.

Wen Shutang walked forward and squatted down: "Are you tired?"

"Tired." Xiao Ye nodded, panting.

"Are you still practicing?"

Xiao Ye nodded without hesitation: "Practice."

Wen Shutang was very satisfied with this. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ye to wipe his sweat. As long as he had the confidence to persist, there was nothing he could not accomplish.

"Get up, let's continue."

Xiao Ye got up from the ground and quickly got into a horse stance without showing any reluctance.

Wen Shutang stood beside him and also spread his legs and took a horse stance.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment and was a little confused: "Mom?"

"Aye has tried so hard, I can't just talk." Wen Shutang smiled. Her body was so weak now. She really hated the feeling of powerlessness of watching important people get hurt.

"Alright, stand still and don't move. Let me see how long Aye can hold on."

Xiao Ye also laughed, responded, turned his head and looked straight ahead, his eyes flashing with unprecedented seriousness.
