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

Xiao Wan also stood up and said in surprise, "Yes, although I have seen pregnant women when I was with the teacher in the clinic before, this is the first time I can feel the movement of a baby so clearly. It's amazing."

Her tone was full of surprise and curiosity, and her eyes fell on Zhou Tong's belly.

Xiao Ze, the most mature and steady of the three children, also had surprise and admiration in his eyes at this moment.

"Well, the book only taught me how to be a gentleman, but it didn't teach me how difficult it is for a woman to give birth to a child."

After hearing what the three children said, Wen Shutang nodded and slowly explained, "By the way, what you said is right. A woman has to go through many difficulties to give birth to a life and become a mother. Not only do they have to endure the inconvenience of a big belly, but they also have to endure a series of reactions caused by pregnancy, such as nausea and vomiting, and loss of appetite. Some people will also suffer from frequent urination and insomnia due to obvious fetal movements, and some people may even pay with their lives for it."

After hearing Wen Shutang's explanation, the three children's faces all fell silent.

Wen Shutang waved at them, and waited until they came to him before continuing, "So a woman has to go through a lot of hardships to become a mother. They went through these hardships in exchange for the birth of a baby."

Seeing the three children nodding in unison, Wen Shutang felt relieved.

Xiao Ze pursed his lips, then whispered: "Alas, my parents, you have worked so hard to give birth to me."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang was stunned, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Ze. This classic quote came from the "Book of Songs". He didn't expect that Xiao Ze actually knew this poem.

The poem "Alas, my parents, they worked so hard to give birth to me" means "Alas, my parents, they worked so hard to give birth to me and raise me."

Zhou Tong leaned aside and watched the interaction between the few people, stroking her belly with a very gentle expression.

"When my child is born, I will definitely send him to a school so that he can become a learned man like Aze."

Xiao Ze smiled a little embarrassedly and didn't say anything.

Wen Shutang smiled and responded, "Of course. Now that my eldest brother has made some money, he will definitely send the child to a school in the future. In addition, my eldest brother has some knowledge, so he can help the child with his homework."

Zhou Tong nodded, her eyes full of anticipation and longing for the future.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard from my eldest brother that you are going to give birth in the next few days. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?" Wen Shutang asked, patting the back of Zhou Tong's hand.

"There's nothing wrong. The child is very well behaved and not noisy at all. But your eldest brother has been very nervous these days. He even said he would close the store in town for a few days to accompany me. When I told him that we didn't need it, he was a little unhappy." Zhou Tong responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Wen Shutang couldn't help but smile: "Big brother is also worried about you, isn't he? You and your wife finally got this child, so my big brother must be worried. But there's no need to close the store, isn't there second brother watching over it, I can go over and help out from time to time. It's okay, sister-in-law, just focus on the delivery, don't worry about anything else."

Hearing what Wen Shutang said, Zhou Tong felt warm in her heart: "Thank you very much, little sister. I treated you like that, but you didn't care. I really feel a little guilty now."

"Those things are in the past. Besides, I was really ignorant before. I only knew how to ask my family for money and couldn't help at all. It's normal for my sister-in-law to be unhappy." Wen Shutang shook his head and comforted her.

After chatting with Zhou Tong for a while, Wen Shutang led the children out of the room. Zhou Tong was pregnant and sleepy, so Wen Shutang didn't want to disturb her for too long.

After coming out of the room, I found that Xiao Yizhuo was still sitting in the yard with Wen Qing chatting. Wen Ruizhou and Wen Yaoshi were sitting next to them. They were chatting happily and didn't notice Wen Shutang and the others.

Liu Sufen came out from the inner room and saw Wen Shutang at a glance. She smiled and called them, "Xiao Qiu'er, come here quickly. Let's sit together for a while."

Wen Shutang smiled, walked forward, sat on the stool, and joined the conversation.

It was evening and the breeze was cool, feeling very comfortable on the body.

It was not until the night fell that Wen Shutang suggested leaving.

"Dad, Mom, it's getting late. We'll go back today. We'll come back to see you tomorrow."

When she heard that she was leaving, Liu Sufen quickly reached out and held her back, "It's so late now, why don't you just stay here? There are rooms anyway, it won't be a problem. It's so late now, it will be inconvenient for you to go back now. Why don't you just stay here for one night, and it won't be too late to go back to town after breakfast tomorrow."

Wen Qing also echoed, "Yes, yes, it's not safe to walk at night, so you should stay here for a night. Your room is empty anyway, so you can stay in the same room with your son-in-law, and your mother and I can sleep with the children."

Hearing the old couple say this, Wen Shutang raised his head to glance at the dark night, feeling a little hesitant, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yizhuo with inquiring eyes.

Xiao Yizhuo naturally had no questions and nodded: "Okay, then let's wait until tomorrow to leave, what do you think, Madam?"

"Okay, that's it." Wen Shutang responded with a faint smile.

Hearing the two agree, Liu Sufen immediately laughed: "Hey, that's right. Okay, mom will go and clean up your little room for you. You can rest after the bed is made."

"Mom, let me help you." Wen Shutang stood up and followed Liu Sufen to the room.

Wen Ruizhou went back to the room first and took care of Zhou Tong until she fell asleep.

When Xiao Ye walked up to Wen Yao, he tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice: "Second uncle, can I sleep with you?"

Wen Yaoshi quickly spat out the melon seed shells and nodded: "Of course, then Aze, just come and sleep with me. My room is a little bigger, so it won't be so crowded."

Wen Qing on the side echoed, "That's fine too, Wan'er can sleep with grandpa and grandma."

After cleaning up, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The long night passed quickly, and Wen Shutang woke up early the next morning. He helped Liu Sufen prepare breakfast, and the family gathered around the table to eat breakfast.

Wen Yaoshi was the first to finish his meal. After he finished his meal, he stood up and looked at Wen Ruizhou and said, "Brother, I'm going to the store first."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left the yard. Wen Ruizhou responded and had no objection.

Wen Shutang looked at his second brother's back, and with some doubt, he approached Wen Ruizhou and asked in a low voice: "Brother, don't you go to town together every day?"

Wen Ruizhou shook his head and replied, "We used to go together, but we haven't been going together since a few days ago. Your second brother always said that he had to go early to take care of the wood, so he went there before me."

After hearing what he said, Wen Shutang became even more curious about Wen Yaoshi's strange behavior.
