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

Seeing Mu Xia stepping back, Zhou Tong thought she was shy and embarrassed, so she smiled and waved to Mu Xia, motioning her to come closer, and started chatting with her enthusiastically.

"Sister Muxia, you look quite young. You are so pretty. Are you from the town?"

"My home is not here, it's quite far away." Mu Xia simply answered her question without elaborating.

Zhou Tong nodded without asking any further questions. Instead, she showed Mu Xia and Xiao Wan the small clothes and tiger-head shoes she had embroidered for her unborn baby. She smiled gently.

"I am too heavy to help mother with any chores now. It is really boring to rest in bed. Can you help me take a look at the embroidery of this small dress and tiger-head shoes? I don't think it looks right when I look at it myself."

Xiao Wan had no resistance to this exquisite little thing, and immediately lay down beside the bed to admire it carefully.

"My aunt's craftsmanship is really good. This little dress is so beautiful. The flowers on it look like real ones."

Zhou Tong gently touched the top of Xiao Wan's head and said, "You little girl, you are just sweet-talking and can make your aunt happy."

"I'm telling the truth. I'm not kidding, aunt. This dress is really pretty. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Mucha." Xiao Wan raised her head and turned to look at Mucha who was standing beside her, as if asking for her opinion.

Mu Xia took the pair of tiger-head shoes and examined them carefully. She had never been exposed to needlework since she was a child, so naturally she didn't understand the tricks involved, but she could see Zhou Tong's seriousness.

She must be looking forward to the birth of her baby.

Thinking of this, Mu Xia's heart suddenly softened a lot. She returned the tiger-head shoes and the little clothes to Zhou Tong, and her tone softened unconsciously.

"It's really beautiful. Your child will definitely like it."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Tong immediately laughed. Who doesn’t like to hear nice words?

"That's good." Zhou Tong responded with a smile, lowered her head and touched her belly with a gentle look.

Mu Xia and Xiao Wan have been chatting with Zhou Tong in the room. Wen Ruizhou is usually busy running around, and Zhou Tong doesn't want to disturb him so she doesn't talk to him much every day. But a pregnant woman actually needs company.

Wen Shutang and Liu Sufen were preparing dinner in the kitchen. Wen Shutang sat on a small stool, picking vegetables and chatting with Liu Sufen.

"Mom, how are you and my dad doing these days?"

"That's it. I just cook and work in the fields every day and take care of your sister-in-law. There's nothing else." Liu Sufen responded without turning her head as she stood beside the stove preparing to cook.

Wen Shutang nodded, then said carefully: "Well, mother, my husband and I will probably take the children to another town to play in a few days. We told you in advance so that you don't have to worry."

The main purpose of her coming today was to tell Liu Sufen in advance that she would be leaving Qingshui Town in a few days, so as not to worry the old couple.

Liu Sufen was stunned at first, then turned to look at Wen Shutang, her eyes full of confusion: "You were staying in town well, why did you suddenly want to go somewhere else? When are you leaving? When will you be back?"

"It's nothing. I just need to go to another town to do some business. I can't tell you much about business. And I want to take the children out to see the world. We can't stay in this mountain village forever." Wen Shutang explained hurriedly, fearing that Liu Sufen would become suspicious.

As expected, Liu Sufen understood what he said: "So that's the case. When are you leaving? When are you coming back? Oh, where are you going?"

Liu Sufen asked several questions with a look on her face, obviously still a little worried.

"It will probably be a matter of a few days. The specific time hasn't been decided yet. Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely tell you when I leave. As for the time of return, that has not been decided yet, but it will definitely not take too long. We should go to Fengzhen, which is not far from us. It is said that Fengzhen has a lot of snacks, and the children will probably like it very much." Wen Shutang said after thinking for a while, touching his chin.

It is not certain how many people from the capital will come, so the time of departure is still uncertain. As for coming back, it depends on when the people from the capital leave Qingshui Town.

Wen Shutang had not yet decided where to go. It was only when Liu Sufen brought up this issue today that Wen Shutang thought about it carefully.

You definitely can’t go to Baiping Town. After all, Pei Sheng is in Baiping Town. People coming from the capital must go to Baiping Town first and then come to Qingshui Town.

As for why Fengzhen was chosen, it was because Wen Shutang currently only knew that there was a place called Fengzhen around Qingshui Town, and she knew nothing about other places.

She knew about Fengzhen because Xiao Yizhuo had mentioned before that there were a wide variety of snacks in Fengzhen. She was a little curious, so she wrote down the place name.

"Fengzhen, I heard from your father that it's a good place. It seems that there are a lot of scholars. A few years ago, there was even a number one scholar here." Liu Sufen nodded, with amazement in her tone.

After all, it was extremely difficult for people from small places like them to win a top scholar. Fengzhen became famous because of the top scholar.

Fengzhen is much larger than Qingshui Town and Baiping Town, and there are large restaurants like Zhaixinglou everywhere.

Hearing Liu Sufen's words, Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows: "How did my father know about Fengzhen?"

"Your father went there once when he was working for someone else, and he brought me some rare food." Liu Sufen responded with a smile, as if she remembered the scene at that time.

She suddenly turned her head to look at Wen Shutang, wondering, "Xiao Qiuer ate it at that time, don't you remember? You were so happy at that time, and even told your dad that you wanted to eat it every day in the future."

Hearing Liu Sufen's words, Wen Shutang was shocked. She had no memory of this at all. Although she knew some things about the original owner, she didn't know any details like these.

Just when Wen Shutang was thinking about how to answer Liu Sufen, Liu Sufen suddenly slapped her forehead and said with a smile.

"Oh, you were only as old as Wan'er at that time. How could you remember such things from so long ago? Look how old and confused I am, and I am still asking you these things." After saying that, Liu Sufen smiled and lowered her head to start cooking for dinner.

Wen Shutang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded with a smile: "Yes, it's been a while, I really don't remember it very clearly, I just remember that my father seemed to have gone on a long journey when I was a child."

"Yes, you cried a lot when your father left, and insisted on going to Fengzhen with him. Now Xiao Qiuer has grown up, and she can take her own children to Fengzhen to play." Liu Sufen said with some emotion while cooking, and her eyes were full of tenderness and relief when she looked at Wen Shutang.
