"Stepmother, you... don't be angry." Xiaobao said fearfully, with tears in his eyes and his body trembling slightly.

Su Man felt distressed immediately when she saw Xiao Bao like this.

"What are you doing? Didn't I put new warm clothes on you? Why aren't you wearing them now? Look at you now, your faces are blue and purple from the cold, don't you want to obey me? If you get sick, where will I get the money to pay for your medical treatment?"

The two children originally thought that they would be beaten and scolded by Su Man, but they didn't expect that she was just worried that they were sick.

The two children just looked at Su Man stupidly, with a look of helplessness in their eyes.

Su Man was also very distressed. She took the firewood from the two men's arms and put it on the ground beside them. Then she took the child in each hand and walked into Fu Xiu's room.

When she got up just now and took a look at her room, she didn't find the two children's cotton-padded jackets, so the clothes must be in Fu Xiu's room.

The two children's hands were wrapped by Su Man, and suddenly they didn't feel cold anymore.

Su Man is feeling very uncomfortable now. She knows that if she hadn't fainted, this situation would never have happened. But the fact is that there is no if, because she did faint.

As soon as she entered Fu Xiu's room, Su Man saw two sets of clothes neatly folded on the bed.

She took the clothes silently and was about to put them on the two children.

The two children were also at a loss when they saw her bad face.

Xiaobao finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"Stepmother, don't be angry. My brother and I just went out to collect some firewood because we ran out of firewood. The clothes you bought for us are so nice that we don't want to wear them out. If you are angry, just scold me, okay? Don't let my brother go out and kneel."

"No!" Dabao said quickly, "Don't scold Xiaobao, I want to do this, I will kneel down, I'm not afraid."

As he said this, he turned around and kneeled down at the door. They had done this many times, so they were already very skilled at it.

Su Man felt a lump in her throat when she heard this and immediately pulled Dabao back.

"Stop! Did I tell you to kneel down? I didn't say anything, so why are you imagining things? How can you blame me so easily?

I am very happy that you are collecting firewood, because you are very sensible and you are sharing the burden for me and this family. But I am telling you now that you will not need to do these things in the future. You are still children, so you are not required to do these things for the time being. "

"But...but we were the ones who did it before." Xiaobao said hesitantly.

Su Man paused, then sighed and said,

"I've said it before, I was wrong before, so what I did before was also wrong, you can't follow suit. Also, from now on, no matter where you go, you are not allowed to take off your warm clothes, you must wear warm clothes.

I have already thrown these clothes at the door and planned to throw them away. You are not allowed to pick them up and wear them. New clothes are bought to be worn. I will prepare some more new clothes for you, so don’t be reluctant to wear them in the future, do you understand? "

As she spoke, she took off all the old clothes of the two children and then put on the clean clothes.

My heart ached again when I saw the two children wearing worn-out shoes and barefoot.

Because she forgot to buy suitable shoes for the two children, she put on thick socks for the two children. Even if the shoes were a little torn, they would be fine as long as they were covered with thick socks. Unexpectedly, the two children even took off their socks.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if the two children were frozen any longer. She had seen some children frozen to death when she was on a mission before.

At that time, it was a remote mountainous area that was also poor and backward.

"Don't take your body lightly from now on, or I'll be angry with you, understand? You must dress warmly when you go out, if something like today happens again, I won't let you eat, understand?"

In order to make the two children remember her words, Su Man said it with a cold face.

Sure enough, the two children were very scared of her. Xiaobao nodded frantically, while Dabao pursed his lips and said nothing.

Su Man made sure that the two children would not be cold before she picked up the dirty and old clothes and went out. However, she still gave the two children a word of advice before leaving.

"Don't come out. I'm going to make breakfast for you. Otherwise, I'll spank you!"

Although the tone was still fierce, the two children were not afraid at all.

Even after Su Man left, the two began to communicate in low voices.

"Brother, stepmother has become a better person! Stepmother has really become a better person!!" Xiaobao said excitedly.

There was always a hint of hesitation on Dabao's face.

"She may just become a better person now, but she may not know what will happen in the future. So don't go out with her alone in the future, or she may sell you out without you even knowing it, understand?"

"But...but..." Xiao Bao pointed at his finger aggrievedly, "But I think she has become a better person. Brother, why can't you trust her? Brother is bad!"

Dabao paused for a while before saying,

"I didn't say I didn't believe her. I just... I just said I don't believe her for now. We can trust her in a few days. If she really changes for the better, she will always be good to us."

After listening to this, Xiaobao nodded as if he understood it.

"I understand, but I still think my stepmother has become better. I like the stepmother I have now!"

Dabao knew that he had no way of convincing Xiaobao, so he could only sigh and decide to be more careful in the future.

Xiaobao is easier to deceive and coax, so he needs to be more careful!

Su Man went to the kitchen, rubbed her hands, and then began to prepare breakfast.

The warm shredded chicken and meat porridge is cooked! There are also sweet red bean paste buns, and finally some hot pure milk.

Looking at the burning firewood, she sighed silently. These two children really made her feel sorry for them.

It was cold in the room, so she asked the two children to eat in the kitchen.

She covered the kitchen door with a green blanket to block the wind, and there was a fire in the stove, so it was warm in here.

The two children's attention was first attracted by the green blanket, and then by the things on the table.

They stared blankly, drooling from their mouths.

It smells so good! I want to eat it!

It was not until Su Man's voice rang out that they took their eyes off the delicious breakfast.

"What are you guys standing there for? Come over here, wash your hands, and then have breakfast."

The two children looked at Su Man again and found that Su Man was calling them beside the stove, where there was steaming water.
