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

Xiao Ye nodded and then walked to the embroiderers, picked up the various purses and sachets in the basket, and looked at them carefully.

He seemed to already have a goal in mind. He picked up each purse and just glanced at it to know whether it was what he wanted. It didn't seem like he was choosing, but rather looking for something.

Xiao Ye's actions made Wen Shutang even more puzzled, but she did not urge Xiao Ye. Instead, she stood aside and waited patiently for his selection results.

Just when Xiao Ye thought that what he wanted was not found, he suddenly found an exquisite light blue purse embroidered with peony flowers in the basket next to the last embroiderer.

Xiao Ye picked up the purse excitedly and examined it carefully. Then he ran to Wen Shutang with surprise and held the purse up to show it to Wen Shutang.

"This is it! Mom, I want to give this to my eldest brother."

Wen Shutang reached out to take the purse in his hand and looked at it carefully. The stitches were dense and the silk threads were arranged in a very orderly manner. It could be seen that the person who embroidered this purse had very superb skills and was very careful when embroidering every stitch.

The light blue background is matched with small peony petals embroidered with mauve silk thread. The colors are fresh and bright, and it looks very lively and delicate.

Wen Shutang nodded. This purse was indeed very nice, but it was a bit inappropriate to give a purse to a little boy, right? She still didn't understand why Xiao Ye chose to give Xiao Ze such a delicate purse.

"Yes, it does look good, but can Aye tell me why you chose a purse as a gift for Aze?" Wen Shutang squatted down and looked into Xiao Ye's eyes and asked.

Xiao Ye scratched his head a little embarrassedly, his eyes fell on the purse in Wen Shutang's hand and he explained in a low voice.

"Big brother's mother is a great embroiderer. Auntie once gave big brother a purse like this. Big brother has cherished this purse since he was separated from auntie. But I accidentally broke a hole in it. I have always wanted to compensate big brother with one, so I thought of coming here to see if there is the same one. Although it is not as good as the one that auntie gave to big brother, it can make me feel less guilty."

After hearing these words, Wen Shutang immediately understood that this was the reason why Xiao Ye wanted to give Xiao Ze a purse.

Her expression softened and she reached out to touch Xiao Ye's head.

"I see. Did Ye apologize to Aze?"

"I have apologized. Although my brother said it's okay, I think he must be sad." Xiao Ye lowered his head sadly, and he felt more and more guilty in his heart.

"Then when Ye gives the purse to Aze tonight, you should not only wish him a happy birthday, but also explain it to Aze seriously. He will definitely be very happy to receive your gift."

Hearing Wen Shutang's comfort, Xiao Ye felt much better. He looked up at her and nodded seriously.

"Ok!"

Wen Shutang smiled faintly, stood up, handed the purse in his hand to the shopkeeper and asked, "How much is this? I want it."

The female shopkeeper took it and took a look at it: "This is made by the best embroiderer in our embroidery workshop. I should charge you 100 coins, but seeing that this little brother is so cute and sensible, I will give you 80 coins."

Wen Shutang nodded immediately: "Okay, thank you."

As he said this, he took out the silver from his pocket and handed it to the female shopkeeper.

Xiao Ye also happily raised his head and looked at the female shopkeeper, his voice full of excitement, and smiled at her with his head tilted: "Thank you, sister!"

Although Xiao Ye is not very old, he is very delicate and exquisite. People feel pity for him when they see him and can't help but get close to him.

The female shopkeeper couldn't stop smiling at his polite appearance. She handed the purse in her hand to Xiao Ye and touched his head.

"You're welcome little brother, you're really sensible."

Wen Shutang watched this scene with a faint smile. Xiao Ye carefully put away the purse, looking very sincere.

After saying goodbye to the female shopkeeper, the two left the embroidery workshop and returned with a lot of food.

When he got home, Xiao Yizhuo had already returned from sending Xiao Ze and Xiao Wan back. He was standing under the big tree at the gate of the yard, looking at something carefully.

He caught a glimpse of Wen Shutang and Xiao Ye coming back and immediately looked up at them, then walked forward and took the thing from Wen Shutang's hand.

“I bought so many.”

"Yes, they can all be used at night." Wen Shutang nodded and followed Xiao Yizhuo back to the yard.

I asked casually, "How was it? Didn't Aze notice anything this morning?"

"It seems like nothing. He didn't ask me and his expression was the same as usual. But Wan'er, when we arrived at the clinic, told me mysteriously that she wanted to prepare a gift for Aze." Xiao Yizhuo raised the corners of his lips and placed everything in his hands on the stone table in the middle of the yard.

"Just now, Aye also bought a gift for Aze in town. It's quite thoughtful." Wen Shutang turned his head to look at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye then took out the purse from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yizhuo, then lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Xiao Yizhuo raised an eyebrow, thinking that the purse looked familiar: "Isn't this the one that Aze originally had?"

"Yes, Dad, I broke the original one that belonged to my eldest brother, so I specially found an almost identical one to give to him, hoping that he would not be angry anymore." Xiao Ye nodded.

"Oh, that's good." Xiao Yizhuo took a deep look at the purse, then returned the things to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye put away his purse and went back to his room.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo looked at his back. Xiao Yizhuo suddenly whispered, "I've seen that purse. It was hand-embroidered by Aze's mother. It's the only thing his mother left him. Although Aze had forgiven Aye at that time, I could see that Aze was a little sad."

"Well, although this purse cannot be compared with the relics, it should be able to comfort Aze a little." Wen Shutang nodded. She now knew the life stories of the three children. When she mentioned their biological mother, Wen Shutang was still a little sad.

Especially Xiao Ze, the oldest one, who usually doesn't like to talk and is easily ignored, but this is often the case when he lacks love the most.

Wen Shutang became even more determined in his heart to treat Xiao Ze and the other two children well in the future, at least to make sure that their childhood would not be so deprived of maternal love.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to study how to make a graduate student birthday cake." Wen Shutang waved his hand and turned to go directly to the kitchen. As for the work of moving things, it was naturally handed over to Xiao Yizhuo.

She had never made a birthday cake before, but she had helped out a few times at a friend's cake shop in modern times. This time she made it completely by herself, and she was actually a little unsure if it would be successful.

But after all, it’s a birthday, so there must be a birthday cake, otherwise how can it be called a complete birthday?
