I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket
Chapter 29: A Little Proud
Wen Shutang thought for a moment and said, "How about tomorrow? The tofu is ready anyway. I just sent a piece to Aunt Sun, and now I estimate there are about two kilograms left."
"Okay, I'll go to town with you tomorrow."
“Is it okay to leave three children at home?”
Wen Shutang felt something was wrong as soon as he asked the question. After all, the original owner had never taken care of them before. He would go out for a stroll after dinner every day, and the three children were always left home alone.
Xiao Yizhuo glanced at her and said, "It's okay, go to bed early."
Wen Shutang nodded, lay down and covered himself with the quilt, but he was thinking about how to sell tofu tomorrow.
Xiao Yizhuo's suggestion was indeed good, but what should he do? He couldn't just make a plate of mapo tofu and bring it to town, because it would be cold even if he did.
She frowned and thought about it, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.
When she was a child, she ate a kind of crispy tofu at her grandmother's house. It was made by frying the tofu in hot oil and then sprinkling it with various seasonings. It was fragrant, crispy and delicious. The tofu made in this way was not afraid of the cold, so it was suitable to take to the town.
Having made up his mind, Wen Shutang closed his eyes with satisfaction. Feeling sleepy, he fell into a deep sleep soon after.
The next day, Wen Shutang got up early on purpose. Winter was approaching and it was a little cold in the morning.
She first took out the prepared tofu from the big vat in the yard, intending to make some crispy tofu to take to town.
Just when Wen Shutang was about to go to the kitchen with the tofu, she found Xiao Wan standing in the open space at the door, looking at her.
Xiao Wan was a little surprised: "Why did you get up so early today, Mom?"
"We have to go to town today, so we have to get up early. Wan'er, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Wen Shutang said as she walked towards the kitchen, and Xiao Wan followed behind her.
"I'm used to getting up early, so I wake up at this time." Xiao Wan was a little curious when she saw her holding a large piece of tofu.
"What is Mom going to do?"
"Well, fry some tofu. Your father and I will probably be gone for a long time today, so I'll prepare some food for the three of you." Wen Shutang responded and started to prepare.
Xiao Wan nodded and ran to sit next to the stove: "Then I will help mother light the fire."
Wen Shutang looked at the well-behaved little girl and smiled. She remembered that Xiao Wan helped her light the fire for her first meal here.
"it is good."
Xiao Wan secretly glanced at Wen Shutang while adding firewood to the stove. She still remembered the day when her stepmother took her back from the human traffickers and patiently told her to apply facial mask and that the little girl should not have scars on her face.
In the blink of an eye, almost half a month has passed. I really hope that my stepmother can stay like this and not turn back into the bad woman who always beats and scolds them.
Xiao Wan thought so in her heart.
"What are Mom and Dad doing in town? Are they going to buy anything?"
"No, I want to go to town and try to sell this tofu. If I can, my family can make some money."
Wen Shutang cut the tofu into slices of uniform thickness and put them into the pot one by one after the oil was hot.
Don't be impatient when frying tofu. You have to do it slowly, one by one, otherwise they will stick together and affect the taste.
When Xiao Wan heard that he could make money, he immediately became interested: "This is delicious, I'm sure it can sell for a lot of money!"
Wen Shutang looked at her with a smile. This girl was so interested in money. Could she be a little money-grubber?
"Would Wan'er like to go to town with me?"
"Ah, is it okay?" Xiao Wan's tone was a little cautious.
"Of course you can. Your father is here and he will definitely protect you." Wen Shutang thought she was still afraid and mentioned Xiao Yizhuo.
When Xiao Wan heard this, she immediately nodded happily, and then worked even harder to make the fire.
The tofu was quickly out of the pot. Taking into account that everyone has different tastes, Wen Shutang made two flavors. One was five-spice suitable for people who can’t eat spicy food, and the other was sprinkled with chili powder.
She took a piece of five-spiced pork and handed it to Xiao Wan: "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Xiao Wan took the tofu and took a small bite. The salty and fresh taste immediately spread in her mouth, and she nodded.
“It’s delicious, but it seems a little bland.”
Hearing this, Wen Shutang shook the bowl in his hand again: "Maybe the ingredients were sprinkled right after they came out of the pot, so they weren't spread evenly."
She divided the tofu into two portions, keeping one at home and taking the other to town.
The two packed up their things and walked out of the kitchen, just in time to run into Xiao Yizhuo who had just finished washing up.
Wen Shutang told him to take Xiao Wan with him, and Xiao Yizhuo naturally did not refuse and nodded. As a result, she smelled a fragrance from the basket in her hand.
"Did you make food?"
"Well, it's newly researched. You can try it later."
Perhaps it was because the word "eat" was mentioned that Xiao Ye suddenly popped his head out of the house.
"I can smell the fragrance inside, I want to eat it too!"
Wen Shutang couldn't help laughing. This kid was really funny. He would show his head as soon as food was mentioned.
She also prepared breakfast and planned to eat something before leaving, since the journey would take quite a long time.
Several people sat at the table and started to eat. When Xiao Ye heard that the three of them were going to town, he immediately became unhappy and muttered that he wanted to go too.
Xiao Yizhuo glanced at him indifferently, and the child, who was originally a little noisy, immediately wilted. He turned his head and looked at Wen Shutang pitifully, with a pair of big eyes full of "take me with you".
Wen Shutang patted his little head and said, "Aye, dear, I've already taken you there last time. I haven't seen what the town is like yet. Let me go this time, okay?"
What she said was reasonable, but Xiao Ye was still a little reluctant. He grabbed his sleeves awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Wen Shutang continued, "Besides, Big Brother still has a leg injury. What if he falls down at home? Ah Ye is a little man now. Can you bear to leave Big Brother alone?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ye subconsciously glanced in the direction of the bedroom and felt that what she said made sense: "Yes, we can't leave Big Brother alone at home, then you guys go, I want to stay and take care of Big Brother!"
Wen Shutang was very satisfied with Xiao Ye's reaction: "Aye is really sensible."
After saying that, he raised his chin and glanced at Xiao Yizhuo, with a slightly smug expression.
Xiao Yizhuo raised his eyebrows. This woman is so childish.
Xiao Ye tugged at the corner of Wen Shutang's clothes, his expression a little awkward.
"Can you buy me some candied haws when you come back?"
"Aye is so well behaved, of course you can." Wen Shutang was in a good mood and reached out to pinch his face.
Xiao Ye then became happy again.
After finishing their meal, they started packing up to go out. Xiao Ye and Xiao Ze waved at them at the door and only returned to the house when they disappeared from their sight.
They left too early and there were almost no one in Uncle Liu's car. Just as Uncle Liu was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by a woman's voice.
"Wait! There are other people here!"
