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

The long night passed quickly, and Wen Shutang was indeed a little tired. She didn't even notice when the children got up and came to see her.

When the sky brightened, Wen Shutang slowly opened his eyes, sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and yawned as he looked at the empty room.

Fortunately, there was water for washing her face prepared by Xiao Yizhuo in the room, so she didn't have to go through the trouble of doing it herself.

After washing and dressing, Wen Shutang opened the door and walked out of the room, then went to the next room to see what the children were doing.

After entering the room, I didn't see any children. The room was empty. There were a few books of Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye on the table, but no trace of the children.

Wen Shutang couldn't help but mutter: "Where did this person go?"

After searching for two rounds, they indeed did not find any trace of the children and Xiao Yizhuo. Wen Shutang guessed that Xiao Yizhuo might have taken the children out to play.

After all, she got up very late today, so thinking of this, Wen Shutang went downstairs.

This inn is a place where you can stay and eat. There were not many guests downstairs early in the morning. The owner was standing in front of the counter writing in the account book, and two or three waiters were busy cleaning.

When the shopkeeper saw Wen Shutang coming down, he smiled and said, "Young lady, you are awake. Your husband asked me to tell you that he has taken the children out to buy breakfast and will probably be back in a while. He asked me to tell you not to worry."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang nodded in understanding. It seemed that her guess was correct. It was Xiao Yizhuo who took the children out.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you very much." Wen Shutang smiled and thanked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper waved his hand and was very fond of this polite girl. After all, who doesn't like polite people?

"It's okay, it's what I should do."

Wen Shutang nodded slightly to the shopkeeper, then wandered around the store, found a seat and sat down, starting to chat with the shopkeeper.

"Boss, how long have you run this shop?" Wen Shutang rested his arms on the table, supporting his head and looking at the boss.

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man who looks simple and honest. His smile gives people a feeling of loyalty.

Hearing Wen Shutang's question, the shopkeeper chuckled and did not stop fiddling with the abacus in his hand. He responded while calculating the accounts.

"My inn has been open for at least ten years. You can tell from the young lady that she is from another place. If you ask around, you will know that Lai Fu Inn is an old shop. People of all ages have stayed here before."

The shopkeeper looked very proud when he talked about the past, and began to tell Wen Shutang about the glory of the past.

"Although our Tian'an Village is just a village, some important people have come here before. Even Young Master Fang from the capital came to our village just to see the kites."

Hearing the familiar name, Wen Shutang couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked: "Master Fang from Beijing? Is it the Master Fang Wenhe?"

"Yes, that's the eldest son Fang Wenhe of the Fang family. When he came to Tian'an Village, he lived with me. I still remember that I reserved the best room for him. There were so many people at that time that there was not even an empty room." The shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned this.

He was deeply impressed by this incident. After all, such a big shot would rent out the entire place when he came. Such a big shot would not bother to live under the same roof with ordinary people.

Wen Shutang touched his chin and didn't say anything. He didn't expect that Fang Wenhe was such a good runner and had even been to Tian'an Village.

"That took a long time?" Wen Shutang asked.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "It's been a long time, maybe a few years ago. Every year, there is a kite competition in Tian'an Village. Every household prepares kites and competes at the competition. Whoever makes the best kite and flies the highest will be given a generous reward by the village chief. This is a custom in our Tian'an Village. People from other villages around know about it. Some people who like to watch the fun will travel all the way to Tian'an Village just to see the grand occasion of the kite competition. It seems that Young Master Fang came here just to see the competition."

He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice, looked at Wen Shutang and whispered, "But I heard that Master Fang didn't just come to watch the Kite Competition. I heard from his followers that Master Fang seemed to be looking for someone? It was a big fuss at the time, and he even sent people to inquire door to door."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang paused for a moment. Looking for someone? Did Fang Wenhe come here to look for Xiao Yizhuo?

"A few years ago?" Wen Shutang repeated in a low voice.

If it was a few years ago, it would be possible. After all, Xiao Yizhuo and his three children had only settled in Da'an Village for a few years.

Xiao Yizhuo knew Tianan Village so well, which proved that he was very reliable and lived here with his children for a period of time.

Perhaps it was because Fang Wenhe found Tianan Village that Xiao Yizhuo took the children away from here and later went to Daan Village.

Thinking of this, Wen Shutang's mind became clearer.

Seeing that Wen Shutang seemed to be thinking about something, the shopkeeper was worried that she would tell others about this, so he quickly warned her: "Young lady, just listen to it for fun, but don't go out and tell others about it. If this gets out, I won't be able to open this shop. I think the young lady is from another place and she is just a mouthful, so please don't ruin the reputation of our shop."

Hearing the shopkeeper's voice, Wen Shutang came back to his senses. After hearing what he said clearly, Wen Shutang quickly responded.

"Don't worry, boss. I just heard a joke and will forget it in a moment. I won't tell anyone about it."

After hearing Wen Shutang's assurance, the shopkeeper laughed again.

"Oh, good, I knew the young lady had a kind heart."

Wen Shutang felt a little amused. Why did he feel that the shopkeeper was a little cute? He couldn't help but gossip about her, but he was afraid that she would spread the gossip and ruin her reputation.

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xiao Ye ran in from outside with an exquisite kite in his hand.

Xiao Ye rushed in and saw Wen Shutang sitting by the window at a glance. He ran to her and raised the kite in his hand to show her.

He said excitedly: "Mom! Look at the kite Dad bought me!"

Wen Shutang looked down and saw that the pattern on the kite was vivid and colorful, and it looked very beautiful and exquisite.

"It's really beautiful. Did you go shopping so early in the morning?" Wen Shutang said with a smile.

After receiving the praise, Xiao Ye liked the kite in his hand even more.

"Dad took us out for breakfast. On the way back, we saw someone selling kites, so he bought one for each of us." Xiao Ye pointed at Xiao Yizhuo and the others who followed in, his tone full of excitement.

Wen Shutang looked in the direction of his finger and saw Xiao Yizhuo's tall figure at a glance.

Xiao Yizhuo happened to see Wen Shutang and waved the breakfast in his hand at her.
