Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

"Well, but these few days we have to go to the next room to rest temporarily."

"It doesn't matter," Mu Daiyao nodded indifferently, "It's just a few days of hard work, and after it's done, everyone will have a better time in the winter."

after.

These two words lingered in Ji Zhixu's mouth, and there was an indescribably sweet feeling.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a very shallow smile.

Just happened to be seen by Mu Daiyao, she raised her eyebrows, a little puzzled why this guy suddenly smiled so strangely by himself.

But she didn't ask, for fear that Ji Zhixu would say something strange from his mouth.

"By the way, how much did the pan Kang cost this time?"

Mu Daiyao suddenly thought of this question, so she casually asked Ji Zhixu, and was slightly surprised when she learned that he had doubled the copper coins.

"Xianggong is also very concerned about Pan Kang?"

"No, I'm just very concerned about what Yao Niang you brought up."

Ji Zhixu said lightly, with a calm face as if saying that the weather is good today, but he provoked Mu Daiyao so much that he didn't know what to say, he just felt a little embarrassed and his heart beat faster.

Fortunately, at this time, Ji Xiu also heard Ji Zhixu's voice, and ran over from the backyard, and indirectly relieved Mu Daiyao.

"Father, you are back."

"Well," Ji Zhixu nodded slightly, hung the washed towels on the wall again, and then greeted: "Let's go, we can go home."

Mu Daiyao was also happy not to dwell on the so-called "shangxin" issue, and hurriedly urged the children of Ji's family to follow Ji Zhixu.

However, due to the heavy snowfall last night, the ox cart driver couldn't come to pick them up, so he had to walk all the way back.

Seeing Ji Letong's short legs humming, Mu Daiyao simply bent down and hugged her, then turned her head and said to Ji Zhixu, "You can hug Xiujing, Both he and Tongtong are still young, the road is even more difficult when the snow has melted, and it will be bad if they fall down."

Hearing this, Ji Zhixu didn't think too much, and directly reached out to hug Ji Xiujing.

This was the first time that Ji Xiujing was picked up and walked by his father since he was sensible. He was stunned for a while, his fair face turned red with shame, and he buried his head in Ji Zhixu's neck.

Although my father always said in the past that a man should do things by himself, and don't always want to rely on outsiders like this, even if it is a family member, but Ji Xiujing is still a child after all, and it is always up to him to be able to rely on his parents happy.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiujing secretly hid behind the furry collar and glanced at Mu Daiyao beside him, for the first time a softness appeared in his eyes.

And Ji Xiukai had already kicked the snowflakes on the side of the road heartlessly in front of him, how could he have so much thought.

As for Ji Xiuping, he glanced sideways at Mu Daiyao, seeing her plain and casual expression, he always felt something was wrong in his heart.

Did this woman do it on purpose?
Why did he act so tooth-itching in front of him, but another face in front of his younger siblings.

Is it to sow discord?

Or act for his father?
No matter how many possibilities Ji Xiuping thought about, the only thing he skipped was that Mu Daiyao didn't like him.

After all, no matter in terms of appearance or intelligence, Ji Xiuping considers himself the number one among the Ji family's children, and no one would dislike him!
It must be that this woman did this to attract his attention. Thinking of this, Ji Xiu managed to recover a little from his originally disturbed mind.

But I didn't expect that at this time, Mu Daiyao suddenly said to Ji Zhixu: "Master, I counted the days, and it should be time to pay the tuition for the school. It just so happens that the business of the shop is pretty good these days. After returning home, I took some money to pay the tuition fee."

"The school has been resting for the past few days." Seeing that Mu Daiyao, who had been ignoring him all this time, finally turned his head to look at him, Ji Xiuping tried to make his tone sound calmer, "It's snowing a bit heavy , Mr. said let us study at home by ourselves."

"That's it, then set aside this part of the money for the time being, and let Xiu Ping bring it to the master after the school starts."

Mu Daiyao nodded, indicating that she knew, then she looked down at the road in front of her, walked earnestly, and stopped talking.

Ji Letong's head was shaking in her embrace, his eyes were also in a daze, and he seemed to be able to fall asleep at any time.

Fortunately, when they concentrated on their journey, they arrived home in a short while.

Since the main house and the children's house were all unfurnished, there was only one vacant room left in the house, and they could only huddle there and sleep for a few days.

The children were quite curious, and they hadn't seen what the heated kang looked like after they had been set up. As soon as they got home, they went to their own rooms to find out.

Ji Zhixu didn't forget to tell them to take a look, but don't touch it with your hands, otherwise they won't call craftsmen to repair it.

As for Mu Daiyao, with her hands behind her back, she wandered to the only empty room left, and stood at the door to watch for a while.

It's not empty now, all the things in other rooms have been moved here.

She suddenly thought of a question inexplicably, if Ji Zhiqiu insisted on staying at Ji's house again these days, she didn't know how Ji Zhixu would deal with it.

Ji Zhixu also rushed over at this time, seeing that Mu Daiyao had been standing at the door of the house and didn't go in, he thought she was concerned about so many people crowded together, so he took her aside and explained something to her seriously.

On the contrary, Mu Daiyao shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and said casually: "Master, it's not that I haven't slept with the children before, so you don't have to worry so much."

After all, in the previous life, when she brought those little bastards to be hunted down by the enemy under the heavy rain, they hid in a cave and slept all night. The environment at that time was far worse than it is now. Come over.

It's just a pity that when those little bastards woke up, they didn't see themselves who were looking for food outside the cave, but they saw Her Royal Highness who came to rescue them.

So they never knew that the person who accompanied them to starve and freeze in the cave, but still protected them was her, the vicious stepmother that they hated the most.

Thinking of this, Mu Daiyao smiled self-deprecatingly, shook her head and suppressed this unhappy memory, and stopped thinking about it.

"That's good."

Ji Zhixu on the side first responded, and after a while he suddenly realized something.
