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

Wen Shutang walked to the stool beside the bed and sat down: "Sister-in-law, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine. The doctor checked me out and said I was a little tired. I'll be fine as long as I have a good rest." Zhou Tong looked at her with a smile.

"How about you? You should be frightened after experiencing something like this, right?"

"I am fine."

Wen Shutang was still not used to Zhou Tong like this: "Sister-in-law, don't be so reserved. Let's just get along like before."

Zhou Tong's face flashed with embarrassment: "Little sister, you are making fun of me when you say this. It turns out that I am too narrow-minded to speak to you like that. I really didn't expect you to save me without caring about your own safety. God knows how shocked I was when I saw you."

She grabbed Wen Shutang's hand, and tears appeared in her eyes.

Wen Shutang was startled and quickly comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this. I just did what I should do. It turns out that I did so many stupid things, and you and big brother have always helped me."

Zhou Tong shook her head, her voice choking with sobs: "No, no, I was helping you out of my mother-in-law's shame, but now I know you are willing to save me like this."

When Wen Shutang saw that she was crying, she was at a loss. Although she knew that pregnant women were easily emotional, she didn't expect that there would be such big ups and downs.

Just when she didn't know what to do, Wen Ruizhou walked in from outside.

He glanced at Zhou Tong who was sobbing, then glanced at Wen Shutang who was in a daze, and then he immediately understood what was going on.

He handed Zhou Tong the paper helplessly: "Didn't you agree not to cry? Why are you still like this when you see my little sister?"

Zhou Tong took the paper and wiped her tears, then glared at Wen Ruizhou and said, "What do you know? I'm not allowed to get excited when I see my lifesaver."

"You are so excited that you almost scared my sister." Wen Ruizhou looked at Wen Shutang with a smile.

Wen Shutang waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. I can't be the lifesaver. What's the point of talking about saving lives as a family?"

Zhou Tong smiled and wiped away her tears with a tissue: "Don't worry, little sister, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. If you need me in the future, just tell me."

"What can happen to me? All you need is for you to take good care of your pregnancy and give me a cute little nephew." Wen Shutang said half-jokingly, his eyes fixed on her belly.

Zhou Tong also lowered her head to look at her lower abdomen, her eyes full of tenderness.

Wen Ruizhou was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw his sister and his wife getting along so harmoniously.

Zhou Tong pulled Wen Shutang aside to chat for a while, talking about everything from big things like what to name the child to small things like the style of sweater to give the child.

Wen Ruizhou sat beside them and watched them, giving his opinions from time to time.

It was already dusk when Wen Shutang walked out of the east room, and Wen Ruizhou also followed her out of the room.

He pulled Wen Shutang aside and handed her a cloth bag and whispered, "This is the wages you gave me for the last work."

Wen Shutang did not reach out to take it: "Brother, what are you doing? How can you give it back? Are you trying to slap me in the face?"

"No." Wen Ruizhou scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's thanks to my sister that your sister-in-law is safe this time. If we continue to take my sister's money, it would seem that we are too unkind. My sister, you should take it back."

"What's the big deal? Let's put things in perspective. This is the wages you earned through hard work, and it has nothing to do with whether I save my sister-in-law or not." Wen Shutang pushed his hand away.

"Don't say anything. I won't take back the money. If you say anything more, I'll be angry."

Seeing that Wen Shutang was really angry, Wen Ruizhou put away the bag and said, "Okay, I won't say anything. Don't be angry, little sister."

"That's good enough. My sister-in-law is going to give birth next year. How can I not save some money? Okay, I should go cook." Wen Shutang smiled again when he saw him put away his money.

As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen. When she came here today, she also brought the vegetables that Aunt Sun gave her.

The family simply fried two dishes and waited until dinner time before getting ready to go home.

Before leaving, Wen Shutang stuffed five taels of silver under Liu Sufen's pillow. She didn't dare let Liu Sufen know, otherwise she would have to go through some trouble.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo were walking home, each holding a child. The moonlight illuminated the road very brightly, so there was no need to worry about falling in the dark.

The two children were very happy after eating and jumped all the way.

Wen Shutang was in a good mood as well, and the evening breeze felt a little cool on his body.

"Is Aze going to take a day off tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Then we'll go pick him up and take him home tomorrow."

"it is good."

The two chatted casually, and after arriving home they went back to their room to rest.

Wen Shutang had a dreamless night and was woken up by the cold the next morning.

She opened her eyes, rubbed her arms, and curled up in the quilt. Why did she feel so cold today?

Xiao Yizhuo pushed open the door and walked in from outside. Wen Shutang found that he had changed into thick clothes.

"It's so cold today."

"It's snowing outside." Xiao Yizhuo was holding firewood in his hands. When he got up today, he found that the ground outside was covered with a layer of white snow.

Just as I was about to light the stove in the room, Wen Shutang woke up.

Hearing that it was snowing, Wen Shutang got out of bed barefoot, not caring that he was only wearing underwear, and ran out. Standing at the door, he saw the courtyard covered in silver.

The yard was covered with white snow. It was really winter. This was her first winter here.

Wen Shutang suddenly thought of his comrades in the legion. They had spent the cold winters together in the past and wondered what they were doing now.

Just as her thoughts were drifting away, she suddenly felt her shoulders sink. She looked down and saw that she was wearing a thick coat.

Xiao Yizhuo stood behind her with a frown on his face, looking down at her bare feet.

"You want to be sick? No coat, no shoes."

Only then did Wen Shutang feel the coldness under his feet. He immediately rubbed his hands and ran back to the house.

"It's so cold, hurry up and light the stove. We're going to town to pick up Aze today, remember to let the children wear warm clothes."

"Everyone is dressed, but you are still barefoot." Xiao Yizhuo glanced at her, handed the shoes to her feet, then squatted down to light the stove.

Wen Shutang put on his clothes and walked out of the house. Xiao Wan and Xiao Ye were also dressed. They were squatting in the snow and playing with it. When they saw Wen Shutang coming out, Xiao Ye shouted excitedly.

"Mom, it's snowing!"

Wen Shutang smiled at the two of them and warned, "Be careful, don't slip."

After dinner, the family took a carriage to town. When they arrived at the academy, it happened to be open.

The servant immediately went to call Xiao Ze out. They waited at the door for a while and then Xiao Ze came out wearing a dark cotton coat.

Wen Shutang then realized that the academy would be on winter vacation starting today and would not return to classes until the beginning of next spring.
