Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Lu Ziren's fingers were very warm as they rested on Xia Yingying's slightly cold but soft lips.

Xia Yingying's lips were almost melted by the scorching temperature of Lu Ziren's fingers. Her body was stiff and motionless, and even her breathing almost stopped.

The room seemed to be filled with a warm atmosphere.

Xia Yingying was sweating all over, and her heart was beating so hard as if it was about to jump out. After a while, Lu Ziren's hot fingers left Xia Yingying's lips, and Xia Yingying began to breathe heavily.

Lu Ziren retracted his fingers and touched Xia Yingying's lips. Although they were cold, he was reluctant to let his fingers go. Instead, he felt very comfortable and even wanted to ravage them more roughly. His fingers felt itchy, as if they had been bitten by a small insect.

His heart was pounding, beating like a drum out of control.

The light fragrance from the tip of my nose drifted into my mind, and the tingling sensation on my touched fingers was like little ants crawling all over my body.

Lu Ziren took a deep breath.

In order to prevent the color waste from polluting his brain, Lu Ziren quickly turned around and quickly distanced himself from Xia Yingying.

I don’t know how long it took, but the heat in Xia Yingying’s body slowly cooled down in the calm air.

I no longer had the same heart-pounding feeling as before. Instead, my thoughts were completely empty and I fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

Lu Ziren listened to Xia Yingying's calm breathing and turned around again. Before, he always slept with Xia Yingying in his arms, but now he didn't dare to touch Xia Yingying.

Lu Ziren closed his eyes and silently chanted the Heart Cleansing Mantra. After his mind was calm and his body had cooled down naturally, a soft and warm body suddenly nestled into his chest, with its head resting tightly against his chest and its hands still tightly hugging his arms.

Lu Ziren's body became even stiffer, and the heat that had just subsided came back again. He dared not move and could only let Xia Yingying hug him like this.

Xia Yingying had a good sleep, but Lu Ziren did not.

He kept his eyes open in agony all night, and a dark blue spot under his eyes was particularly noticeable from staying up late.

Because he promised to help Xia Yingying and Xiuniang decorate the store, Lu Ziren got up early. Xia Yingying hugged Lu Ziren tightly all night, and he was afraid of disturbing Xia Yingying, so he didn't dare to move. Xia Yingying slept very well and didn't move around. She slept in the same position until dawn. Lu Ziren's shoulders were sore from being hugged by Xia Yingying.

Chen Yi slept in the same room with Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie. The three of them had already gotten up. After practicing martial arts in the yard for half an hour, the four of them

Lu Ziren told Chen Yi about their separate renovations, and Chen Yi did not object. He said to Lu Ziren, "Brother Lu, I can go anywhere to do the renovations."

Seeing that it had been decided, Lu Ziren did not say much. After Chen Yi left, Lu Ziren simply cleared out the unusable items in the shop and piled them in the yard. Some old trees could be used as firewood, and the other unusable items were thrown away by Lu Ziren and his two children.

Lu Ziren didn't make much noise, but Xia Yingying got up soon after. After getting up, she stretched, washed up, and made breakfast.

She knew that Lu Ziren was busy decorating the store, so she decided to make a big bowl of crispy beef rice noodles for the whole family today.

When buying the beef, Xia Yingying bought some extra mint, and now she still has some left, as she also craves for beef rice noodles.

After cutting the beef into pieces and blanching it in cold water to remove the blood, put the meat into the oil pan and fry it for a while, then add more oil to the pan, add all the spices such as chili pepper, star anise garlic, Sichuan pepper, ginger, garlic, etc. and fry until fragrant. Xia Yingying also added brown sugar and fine chili powder for coloring, and when the aroma was fully stimulated, Xia Yingying poured the beef into the pan and stir-fried it evenly, then added salt, soy sauce and other spices, and boiled it with water.

Originally, they were going to be put in a pressure cooker, but there was only a stove here and no pressure cooker at all, so Xia Yingying just cooked them directly in a pot. Fortunately, there was a big stove and a small stove in the kitchen here.

In addition to using this stove to stew the beef, Xia Yingying also used another stove to bake a few pancakes to fill everyone's stomachs. After all, it takes a little time to cook the crispy beef.

Xia Yingying's cooking smells delicious. The neighbors next door were still fast asleep, but were woken up by the aroma of meat that filled the house.

Lu Haojie and Lu Haoran, who were helping to clean up the store, couldn't help but swallow.

Lu Haojie smelled the aroma of meat and had no intention of helping Lu Ziren. His eyes rolled around and he said to Lu Haojie who was busy at the side, "Brother, I'll go get some firewood for mother."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen holding a small piece of wood, looked around the stove, staring at the beef bubbling in the pot and swallowing his saliva.

Xia Yingying was making pancakes over there.

"Mom, do I have to eat this beef with pancakes? When will it be ready?"

As Lu Haojie spoke, his eyes were fixed on the beef, without blinking, as if it was being sucked in by him.

When Xia Yingying heard Lu Haojie ask this, she knew that Lu Haojie wanted to taste the beef in the pot.

"No, today we are having crispy beef rice noodles. This pancake is for you to use as a cushion. The beef is not cooked yet, so you have to wait a while before you can eat it."

Xia Yingying shoveled the last pancake out of the pot and said to Lu Haojie, "If you are hungry, you can eat the pancake first."

Unexpectedly, Lu Haojie shook his head, not even looking at the pancakes, but still staring at the beef bubbling and steaming in the pot.

Did this fall into the naked eye?

Xia Yingying couldn't help but find Lu Haojie a little funny.

"Go get some cakes for your eldest brother and your father and come back later. They are not cooked yet and will give you diarrhea if you eat them."

Xia Yingying took four pancakes from the baked plate and gave them to Lu Haojie, asking him to take them to Lu Ziren and Lu Haoran.

Lu Ziren is really hardworking. He has helped her so much, and she can't let Lu Ziren go hungry. Without food, he would be like a cow that only knows how to work, working tirelessly. She is not a vampire capitalist who wants the cow to work but doesn't feed it enough grass.

Lu Haojie curled his lips, looking unhappy, but finally nodded and took the pancake from Xia Yingying. He ran a few steps with his short legs and then turned back, looking up at Xia Yingying and said, "Mom, Daddy went out to throw away the garbage."

Xia Yingying raised her eyebrows and waved to Lu Haojie.

Lu Haojie ran over to Xia Yingying with a look of joy on his face, expecting something, but saw Xia Yingying took the pancake and put it on the plate and said to Lu Haojie: "If you don't want to eat it now, then go find your brother. You can eat beef rice noodles later. When your father comes back, ask him to come over for the pancake."

Lu Haojie lowered his head in disappointment. He thought his mother wanted him to come back to eat meat.
