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

Wen Shutang led several chefs to make tofu step by step, and Song Zhoubai watched carefully beside them without slacking off at all.

After fixing the filtered tofu, Wen Shutang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That's it. Once all the water inside is filtered out, the tofu will be ready."

Master Chen's eyes were full of amazement: "How did you learn to use beans like this? I have been cooking for decades, and this is the first time I know that soybeans can be used in such a delicate way."

Wen Shutang smiled and did not explain in detail, only saying that it was a family recipe passed down from generation to generation.

After watching the whole process, Song Zhoubai had more respect for Wen Shutang.

"Madam Wen is really skillful."

"Young Master, please stop praising me." Wen Shutang waved his hands, somewhat unable to stand such commercial flattery.

"By the way, the bean paste that has just been boiled is actually called soy milk. Add one or two spoons of sugar to it and drink it directly. It tastes good and is also good for the human body."

"Can you drink it like this?"

"Of course, soybeans are grains. They are delicious no matter how they are cooked." Wen Shutang washed his hands and took the handkerchief handed to him by the servant to wipe his hands.

"It's getting late. I have to go back. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Wen Shutang walked out while talking. Song Zhoubai followed her to the door and looked up at the sky which was almost dark.

"I'm sorry to have kept you here today. I'll send someone to take you back."

"No, I can just take the bus back. It's not far anyway."

"Then I'll have someone take you to the car. Don't refuse. My business is all thanks to tofu." Song Zhoubai spoke in a firm tone, not giving Wen Shutang a chance to refuse. Two servants came up and followed Wen Shutang.

Seeing that he was really insistent, Wen Shutang did not refuse: "Okay, then thank you for your kindness, Young Master."

Song Zhoubai watched Wen Shutang's back disappear around the corner before turning back to Zhaixing Tower. No one noticed that there was a figure hiding under a tree not far away, with a pair of eyes staring greedily and coldly in the direction where Wen Shutang left.

The two servants sent Wen Shutang to the ox cart before leaving, and Wen Shutang got on the cart.

"Thank you so much for bothering me today and picking me up a second time."

She felt a little embarrassed. Normally, Uncle Liu would have been resting at home at this time, but today, because of her, Uncle Liu was still waiting for her in the town until dark.

Uncle Liu waved his hand nonchalantly, pulled the reins and started driving.

"It's okay. I'm resting at home anyway, so it's no big deal to make an extra trip. But your husband was too polite. He gave me an extra five cents when I got off the bus, saying that he was bothering me to wait for you a little longer."

Wen Shutang was slightly stunned. She thought it was the servant sent by Song Zhoubai who specifically asked Uncle Liu to come a second time, but it turned out to be Xiao Yizhuo.

She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. This person thought very carefully.

After arriving home, Wen Shutang felt that she was starving. As soon as she entered the yard, she smelled the aroma of meat, which immediately perked her up.

Xiao Wan came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of braised pork. Seeing Wen Shutang standing there, she was stunned for a moment and then shouted into the house.

"Mom is back, let's all come out for dinner."

As she spoke, she put the braised pork on the table. Xiao Yizhuo followed her out of the kitchen, also holding a plate of stir-fried vegetables that looked normal in color.

He glanced at Wen Shutang: "I'm back."

Wen Shutang nodded. Her mind was now entirely on the bowl of fragrant braised pork. She swallowed her saliva, then silently walked to the table and sat down waiting for dinner to start.

These people are quite reliable. She thought she would have to cook when she got home, but she didn't expect to be able to eat ready-made food as soon as she got home.

Hearing Xiao Wan's shout, the other two little ones also came out of the room.

Xiao Ye ran out first, jumping up and down to Wen Shutang and saying, "Mom! Why did you come back just now? It's already dark."

"There were too many things to do today so I was a little late. Is Aye being well behaved at home?" Wen Shutang smiled and touched the top of his head.

When Xiao Ye heard this, he raised his head proudly: "Of course! Aunt Cui came today and she praised me."

Wen Shutang was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Xiao Yizhuo inquiringly.

Xiao Yizhuo put down his bowl and chopsticks and explained, "I came to express my gratitude. Erfeng's wound is almost healed, and his family sent a lot of gifts." He pointed to a basket beside him.

Wen Shutang looked in the direction of his finger, reached out and lifted the white cloth covering the basket, revealing what was inside.

She looked carefully and found that there were more than ten eggs.

Eggs are very precious in this place, and Cui Qiuhong gave Wen Shutang more than a dozen at a time, which really surprised Wen Shutang.

"This is too expensive."

Xiao Yizhuo had no expression but nodded silently.

Wen Shutang touched his nose. This was a bit too exaggerated. He should find a time to send the things back.

At this time, Xiao Ze also slowly walked out of the house. Wen Shutang looked up and found that he was not using a cane in his hand. His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Can Aze walk now?"

Xiao Ze's pretty face was still a little pale, but filled with a happy smile. He nodded vigorously.

"Well, the wound has healed a lot. Today I found that I can walk without crutches."

"Well, it looks like you've recovered well. Let's go to the academy in town tomorrow. It's time for Aze to go and learn something." Wen Shutang turned his head and said to Xiao Yizhuo.

Xiao Yizhuo glanced at Xiao Ze's legs, was silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"Yes, his injury should not be serious. He should be almost healed after a few days of rest. The Mingde Academy in town is very famous. You can go and ask about it tomorrow."

"Okay, if you want to find someone, you have to find someone reliable." Wen Shutang nodded. After all, it's about learning knowledge, and you can't just find a mediocre person. It would be bad if he misleads the students.

Xiao Ze listened to the conversation between the two with his eyes sparkling. He supported himself and walked to the table and sat down. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his expression became a little lonely.

Wen Shutang noticed his mood change: "What's wrong? Aze doesn't want to go?"

Xiao Ze shook his head: "No, mother, the tuition fees of the academy in town must be very high..."

Wen Shutang understood that he was worried about the tuition fee.

She patted Xiao Ze's head with a gentle tone.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this. Your father and I can definitely afford your education. I went to the town today to discuss business. Our family now has several hundred taels of dividends."

The three children were stunned when they heard this. The older one, Xiao Ze, opened his mouth in surprise. He had some knowledge and naturally understood what a few hundred taels meant.

"Hundreds of taels?!" he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Xiao Yizhuo also looked at Wen Shutang with some surprise.
