I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

Just as Bai Qingyao was about to turn around and leave, she heard Gu Yichen calling her.

She took a deep breath and turned to look at Gu Yichen. "What's wrong?"

"In a few days, I...a friend might come over here."

Bai Qingyao was stunned, "Huh?"

Do I need to tell her this?

Gu Yichen raised his hand, raised his right hand, and subconsciously touched the fingers of his left hand. There was nothing on it, so he looked up.

"Just letting you know, please don't mind."

"It's okay, as long as he doesn't mess with me. It's up to you."

Gu Yichen nodded, and Bai Qingyao turned and went to the kitchen when she saw that he was fine.

The stew in the pot had already taken on color, and Bai Qingyao stirred it slightly with a spoon so that every piece of meat was covered with the soup.

This way it will taste better.

"Mother, is it cooked?"

Ah Huai's voice suddenly rang out, and Bai Qingyao looked down.

"Ahuai, when did you come here?"

"just."

Gu Zehuai replied to Bai Qingyao obediently, and then his eyes fell on the pot behind her.

"You little greedy cat!"

Bai Qingyao raised her hand and tapped Gu Zehuai's little nose.

Seeing her hand fall, Gu Zehuai subconsciously closed his eyes.

Feeling the touch on his nose, he quietly opened one eye and met Bai Qingyao's smiling eyes.

"Aniang~"

Even though he was very young, he could tell that the smile on Bai Qingyao's face was clearly mocking him.

"The meat in the pot isn't cooked yet, but the liver is. Mother will cut you a piece."

She had saved one set of pig livers, the skin of which was braised, and this one was original, using only salt, boiled, and then grilled.

It tasted a bit chewy, but now Gu Zehuai's teeth were very hard, so it was not difficult for him to bite the liver.

She picked up a knife, took out the liver, and cut a small piece about the size of her palm.

It was held in Gu Zehuai's hand, but it filled his entire hand.

He couldn't wait to take a bite.

There's food all over the corners of my mouth.

She gave it to him, and couldn't ignore the other two little ones, so she cut two more pieces of pork liver of similar size, put them on a plate, and took it out.

A new batch of oysters was delivered and piled in the corner of the yard. They need to be cleaned up before we can start making oyster sauce.

In addition to these, a lot of small shrimps have been caught from the earthworms recently, and she plans to turn all of these small shrimps into shrimp skins.

Otherwise, those little shrimps won’t taste very good when cooked.

It would be better to make it into shrimp skin and shrimp paste.

During this period, in addition to oyster sauce, she also made a lot of shrimp paste. Although the quantity was not much, there were still several cans.

All of them were given to Wangyueju.

I don’t know what the effect will be.

There are still many people who cannot accept shrimp paste.

Speaking of this, she took out some shrimp paste from a small jar beside her and took out a fish.

Cut the fish into small pieces, pour in shrimp paste, and then add seasonings such as onion, ginger, and garlic. The fish marinated in this way will be very tasty and fragrant when fried later.

After doing all this, she went to the yard.

Judging by the time, the house on the island is almost ready, and they will be able to move in in a few days.

As for furniture and other things, Bai Qingyao glanced at the wooden shed in the yard.

All the furniture underneath was made by Bai Dahai during this period.

After the stew was completely ready, it was already dark and family members came back one after another.

The workshop hasn't started yet, but the production of these seafood products cannot be finished. Bai Qingjiang and Bai Dahai will also pry oysters at the beach during the day. After Bai Qingshan finishes learning from Mr. Jusheng, he will also go to the rocky beach to pry oysters together.

At night, Bai Dahai did carpentry work in the yard.

can not stop.

In the evening, the family was sitting at the table and had just finished their meal when Mr. Ju Sheng suddenly called her.

"Girl, your elder brother has great talent, but he was delayed before. The scientific examination is coming soon this year, so you can let your elder brother try."

Hearing this, Bai Qingyao's eyes lit up.

"but……"

Ju Sheng said halfway when a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"But what, sir?"

"But your elder brother is a stubborn person."

But he was so angry that if it weren't for this girl's sake, he would have to teach him a lesson.

"He's living in your house now, and the imperial examinations are expensive, so he wants to take them again in another year."

"Money is just a thing outside of our body. You, big brother, are so stubborn! You're wasting such a great talent!"

"Don't be anxious, sir. Calm down first. I'll go and persuade my elder brother."

Bai Qingyao quickly poured Ju Sheng a cup of tea, fearing that he would stop teaching Bai Qingshan in anger.

Such a good teacher is not easy to find.

Ju Sheng took the tea and sighed.

He also understood Bai Qingshan's thoughts, but from what he knew about Bai Qingshan during this period, he felt that if he really stayed in this corner, it would be a waste of his talent.

Although he had learned some characters before, when he first accepted him, Ju Sheng only felt that he was a student who could be taught. Due to Bai Qingyao's love for food, he was prepared to give him some pointers.

After a period of time, he really thought about accepting a disciple.

"Knockknock——"

"Brother? Are you there?"

After talking to Jusheng, Bai Qingyao brought some snacks and went directly to Bai Qingshan’s room.

"Sister, come in."

Originally, Bai Qingshan had been reviewing his lessons after returning from outside. He didn't expect Bai Qingyao to come over. He put down the book in his hand and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.

"Brother, are you reviewing?"

"Ah."

Bai Qingshan smiled when he heard Bai Qingyao's words. "My teacher asked me to write a policy paper this morning. I'm still a little weak in this area, so I want to read more books."

"Brother, I came here to talk to you."

"Did the master tell you everything?"

Bai Qingshan is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart. Moreover, Bai Qingyao did not hide anything, but came to him and told him openly.

"Well, there's a lot going on at home right now. The scientific expeditions are held every year, so I think..."

"Brother, the imperial examinations are held every year, but what about you? You know how difficult the imperial examinations are now. I'm not trying to discourage you, but the fact is, the older you get, the shorter your future will be. I don't want you to give up just because of a small thing."

"I'm still at home."

"The workshop on the island has been built. We will move there in a couple of days, and then the workshop will be officially open for business."

What's more, in addition to this workshop, she also opened a shop in partnership with Sun Yunyun. Although the shop has not been located yet, she is confident that it will become popular throughout Taohua Town.

"Sister, I..."

"Don't say you're the eldest son in the family. I'm still the one who spends the most money. My parents spent so much money on me before, and you and my second brother didn't have any objections, right? Now I'm just helping you."

"Besides, if you pass the exam, you'll be my big supporter!"

Bai Qingshan didn't say a few words before he heard Bai Qingyao's loud output. Bai Qingshan nodded helplessly.

"So, big brother, don't worry. As for what you're worried about..."
