Xia Wanniang had her back to them and was recalling how the original owner used to make a fire. She felt someone behind her and turned around to see three little guys standing at the door.

Xiao Zilin was whispering to Xiao Zimu, and it was not difficult to see that the expression on the latter's face was quite interesting.

"Why are you three here?"

Xiao Zisen looked at his two brothers and didn't know whether he should go in.

Xia Wanniang put down the thing that was starting the fire, walked towards them, squatted on the ground and looked at the three children: "Are you hungry?"

The three children didn't say anything, they just lowered their heads and didn't look at her.

Xia Wanniang performed a magic trick and three candies appeared in her hand, which she placed in front of the three children.

Xiao Zilin looked at the maltose in her hand with a complicated expression.

Xiao Zisen's eyes were glued to the candy in her hand. He just pursed his lips and swallowed his saliva. But since his two brothers didn't say anything, he didn't dare to move.

Xiao Zimu moved his little nose: "Is it candy?"

Xia Wanniang smiled and touched his head: "Well, it's time to eat soon. I can't give you too much. Just have one piece each." Then she stuffed her into the hands of Xiao Zimu and Xiao Zisen.

As for Xiao Zilin, she looked at him with a smile: "Open your mouth."

Xiao Zilin didn't know why he was so obedient. He actually opened his mouth and watched her stuff the maltose into his mouth.

A sweet taste came from the tip of his tongue, and he carefully looked at the stepmother he had just met.

Xiao Zimu clenched the candy in his hand but did not eat it. Instead, he carefully put it into his arms.

This action was seen by Xia Wanniang, but she didn't say anything.

Xiao Zisen couldn't hold back any longer and put a candy into his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes turned into crescents when he smiled.

Xia Wanniang touched his little head and prepared to make a fire to cook.

Xiao Zisen ran over faster than her, sat beside the stove, and started to light the fire skillfully.

Xia Wanniang felt a little distressed when she saw how skillfully he worked. The child was only three years old, but he was already able to help with housework.

The other two children were not idle either. Although Xiao Zimu was blind, his hearing and sense of smell were extremely sharp.

The two children began to help each other pick vegetables.

Xia Wanniang took the things from their hands and said, "You are not needed here. Just sit aside."

The three children all looked stunned and sat at a loss near the stove, which was also the warmest place in the kitchen.

It was the first time that Xia Wanniang cooked based on the original owner’s memory. Although it was a little awkward, it was not too difficult.

When she turned her head, she saw the three children either staring at her with wide eyes or listening with their ears perked up. When they saw her looking at them, they immediately turned their heads and looked away.

When Xiao Chiye came in, he discovered such an interesting scene. The three children sat obediently by the side and watched Xia Wanniang's busy back.

The food in the pot was emitting steam, warming up the shabby little kitchen.

Xia Wanniang saw him coming in and pointed to the rabbit in the corner: "The rabbit is over there."

Xiao Chiye nodded, walked over, picked up the two rabbits and went to clean them up.

When he came back, he found that there seemed to be a lot more things in the kitchen at home, and the empty rice jar was now filled with rice.

There is also a whole bag of flour and a variety of fresh vegetables.

He turned to look at Xiao Zilin who was sitting next to him: "Zilin, did grandma buy these?"

Xiao Zilin shook his head: "Grandma didn't buy these things."

Xiao Chiye walked over to Xia Wanniang and asked, "Did you bring these things here?"

Xia Wanniang admitted generously: "Yes."

Xiao Zisen tilted his little head. When he gave her the cloak, she didn't seem to bring so many things!

He wanted to talk to Xiao Chiye, but after he gestured for a long time, no one could understand, so he had to give up.

Aunt Xiao was stunned when she saw the table full of food.

No one knew their family's current situation better than her. These things could not have been bought by Xiao Chiye. The only possible person was Xia Wanniang.

But when she came, she only had one bag. Where did these come from?
