Lin Su was willing to add seasonings and lard, and the wild vegetable dumplings she baked had an enticing burnt aroma, which made Qin Ni, a foodie, unable to sit still. Her thin figure frequently appeared at the kitchen door.
Lin Su laughed when she saw it, and when she appeared at the door for the fourth time, Lin Su waved at her.
Qin Ni hesitated for a moment, but finally succumbed to the temptation of delicious food and took the initiative to step into the kitchen and come to Lin Su.
"Open your mouth."
Lin Su spoke softly, and Qin Ni subconsciously did as she was told.
The next second, the warm wild vegetable dumpling was stuffed into her mouth.
Qin Ni was not used to such intimate feeding, but the delicious salty taste in her mouth made her want to step back and stop in her tracks.
Qin Ni had never eaten such delicious wild vegetable dumplings. They were so delicious that she didn't know how to describe them. For a moment, she suddenly wanted to stamp her feet while eating and even wanted to cry.
In front of delicious food, it doesn’t matter whether the stepmother is vicious or not.
Qin Ni ate without raising her head. Lin Su saw that her hair was messy like a chicken coop and couldn't help but reach out to tidy it up. The sudden touch made Qin Ni jump aside like a frightened bird.
She stared at Lin Su defensively, and when Lin Su wanted to explain, she ran away quickly and never appeared at the kitchen door again.
Lin Su slapped his head in annoyance.
She should have taken it step by step. Now, Qin Ni should be more wary of her. The gain does not make up for the loss.
…
The wild vegetable dumplings received rave reviews from everyone. The three kids ate them so much that they licked their fingers. Grandma Lin, who usually doesn’t like this kind of food, ate five of them, not to mention the three kids, whose stomachs were so full.
Lin Su nodded in satisfaction.
This is how you should eat. Eating well will help you maintain good health.
After dinner, Lin Su asked Qin Yao to take his younger brothers and sisters for a walk to help digest the food, while she helped her grandmother wash the dishes.
Grandma Lin didn't want Lin Su to wash the dishes, and she couldn't persuade her.
After washing the dishes, Lin Su wanted to mend clothes for the three children, but her skills were not good, so she had to ask her grandmother for help.
Grandma Lin didn't take the responsibility, mainly because she wanted the three kids to see it, which would help enhance the relationship between them.
The three children's clothes were so torn that they were unsightly, with patches all over their bodies.
Qin Sui had bought them nice clothes, but the biased Qin's mother directly gave them to Qin Lao Da's three children to wear, while they picked up clothes that Qin Lao Da's three children didn't want to wear.
It would be fine if Qin Yao and Qin Keke were boys, but Qin Ni, as a girl, was wearing boys' clothes, which looked out of place and particularly miserable.
Lin Su thought that there were still some cloth coupons at home, so Qin Sui also took some and went to town tomorrow to buy cloth to make clothes for the three children.
While thinking about something, she didn't pay attention and suddenly felt a sharp pain on her fingertips. Lin Su came to her senses instantly and saw that her fingertips were pierced by the needle and bleeding, so she quickly put her finger in her mouth.
Seeing this, Grandma Lin said with concern: "Be careful."
"It's okay," Lin Su changed the subject. "They can only wear these clothes at home. Grandma, how about we go to town tomorrow and buy them some better cloth to make them some clothes?"
Grandma Lin was not a stingy person. She nodded when she heard this and asked, "Do you have enough cloth coupons at home?"
"With what Qin Sui gave, it should be enough."
"Okay, get up early tomorrow and let's go in your uncle's ox cart."
"good."
Lin Su and the others were mending clothes in the yard, so Qin Yao and the others naturally heard their conversation. It would be a lie to say that they were not touched by it, but they were not moved to the point of being touched either.
Qin Yao's feelings towards Lin Su are very pure. He always feels that everything Lin Su does must have a certain purpose. For example, this time she wants to buy them clothes because she wants to bribe them.
Qin Ni and Qin Keke are young and easy to fool, but he is already a little adult and is not easy to fool.
The vicious stepmother wants to capture him with sugar-coated bullets, but forget it!
Night falls.
This time, Qin Yao and Qin Ni slept on the kang separately, while Qin Keke was taken care of by Lin Su.
Qin Keke was seduced by the nice story and was easily coaxed into falling asleep by Lin Su.
In the middle of the night, Lin Su was awakened by the sound of Qin Keke kicking the quilt. After getting up and covering him with the quilt, she thought that the two kids next door might have kicked the quilt as well, so she wanted to go and check.
The door was not locked, so she pushed it open easily. As soon as she stepped into the room, she heard Qin Yao crying.
Thinking he was awake, Lin Su hurried over with a candle in hand. However, when she reached the kang, she discovered that his eyes were still closed.
Qin Yao was sweating profusely at this time, his facial features were wrinkled, and his hands were waving in the air, obviously having a nightmare.
He was still shouting "Don't die, don't hit me" and "Mom".
Are you missing your mother?
Lin Su took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe his sweat, and seeing that he was still not awake, she had to grab his waving arms with her hands.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Qin Yao suddenly grabbed Lin Su's palm tightly and cried out in a sobbing voice, "Mom!"
The voice was sad, like a poor abandoned child.
Lin Su's heart softened. She didn't let go of her hand but sat on the edge of the kang and let him hold it. After thinking for a while, she put the candle aside, freed her hands, and gently stroked his head.
Qin Yao, who was gradually waking up from his dream, thought that it was his mother who was caressing him, and he couldn't help murmuring "Mom". With tears in his eyes, he became a little more awake, and then he saw Lin Su's face.
Qin Sui was completely frightened awake and found that he was still holding his vicious stepmother's hand. His face suddenly changed and he shook her hand off.
Lin Su explained: "I saw you were having a nightmare, so I wanted to comfort you."
"Who asked you to pretend to be kind!" Qin Yao had just dreamed of his mother and was in a very bad mood. Even after hearing her explanation, he would not appreciate it.
Lin Su understood his feelings, but she got angry when her kindness was once again ignored.
Seeing the vicious stepmother raise her hands, all kinds of memories of being beaten came flooding back to Qin Yao, causing him to form a conditioned reflex and subconsciously protect his head with both hands.
