Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Su Liu took the scissors and made a few gestures on the red paper before frowning.

She is actually not very good at handicrafts. When she was in school, she couldn't even learn origami, and she was laughed at by her classmates.

Finally, she cut out a "four-like" shape, sighed helplessly, and looked at the children again.

Among the three children, Shen Qingqing is the most ingenious. One moment she has a vivid little rabbit in her hand, and the next she has a plum blossom. She can cut out several with the same effort as others.

Da Wa's cut is quite satisfactory, and the pattern processing is also very detailed, and no mistakes can be seen.

Only Erwa was as clumsy as Su Liu. After a long time, he didn't have a single finished product, so he hurriedly balled up the red paper in his hand and threw it on the table.

"It seems that Qingqing is the most talented person in our family." Su Liu smiled and gave Sanwa a thumbs up.

Sanwa raised her head and showed a sweet smile.

"Sister Xiaoliu, I give these to you."

Su Liu felt her heart melt, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her chubby little face.

Erwa couldn't cut the window grilles, so he simply threw away the scissors, ran to Shen Luochen, started to make trouble for him, pulled his sleeves, and said:

"Dad, you can also cut paper together."

Hearing this, Su Liu also noticed Shen Luochen sitting in the corner, so he turned his head and echoed:
"Yes, you should also play with the children and spend more time with them now."

Shen Luochen is always busy at ordinary times, and he only spent a lot of time with the children during the time when he was injured.

But now that he has fully recovered, he will probably start to be busy again after the new year.

Shen Luochen hesitated. He had never participated in such an activity before.

The other two dolls also ran over to pull him, and he half pushed and half walked over and sat down at the table.

Su Liu quickly gave him red paper and scissors, looking at him expectantly.

However, the result disappointed her.Although Shen Luochen's movements were unfamiliar, the final cut was not ugly, and even had a decent appearance.

It seems that she and the second baby are the only two people in this family who are handicapped.

This child not only resembled her in that he loved fighting and was obsessed with martial arts, but he also resembled her in that he had a disabled hand. She had some doubts that the second baby was not Shen Luochen's biological child, but her own.

After cutting the window grilles, Su Liu pasted several people's works on the windows.

After blowing out the lamp, the moonlight shines in, passes through the window grilles, and casts reflections on the ground, which looks very childlike.

The whole family sat together to watch the night, warming themselves by the fire. The scene was particularly warm.

Su Liu began to tell several children the story of the Nian beast:
"Do you know what Chinese New Year is? It means that there is a monster called 'Nian', which eats children and comes out every 365 days. Later, people found that setting off firecrackers and wearing red can scare it away, and it developed into It’s Chinese New Year now.”

I originally thought that the children would be scared when they heard the story, but unexpectedly, their focus was very different.

"In this case, isn't this Nian always hungry? Is it still alive now?" Erwa asked innocently.

Su Liu was stumped for a moment. She had often heard this story before, but she had never had such a doubt.

After a long while, she finally managed to come up with an explanation:
"Maybe, it's a monster and won't starve to death."

After that, she took out three red envelopes prepared in advance from her arms, each containing a few copper coins.

"This is 'lucky money', which suppresses evil spirits and can protect you."

As she spoke, she distributed three red envelopes to the dolls.

These children grew up in the village. Shen Luochen was a relatively rough person, so he did not prepare any new year's money for them.

This was the first time for the three dolls to receive red envelopes, so they all found it very novel. "You have grown up too. I will give you some pocket money regularly in the future. You can also buy some delicious food when school is over."

Su Liu took advantage of the excitement and announced another piece of good news. After hearing this, several children almost jumped up with joy.

Only Shen Luochen felt a little worried. He was afraid that the children would spend their pocket money randomly. In the end, it was Su Liu who persuaded him.

After midnight, I heard a burst of crackling firecrackers outside. It seemed that there were still many people keeping vigil in the city.

The children were already a little drowsy, but they were frightened and woke up again.

Su Liu couldn't help laughing when he saw the funny looks of the dolls, and took them back to their respective rooms to rest.

Afterwards, she returned to Shen Luochen's room out of habit.

It wasn't until the moment she lay down that she realized what was happening.

Shen Luochen's injury has healed. He could actually move back a long time ago. Why does he seem to be used to living here?

She slowly sat up and looked at Shen Luochen next to her.

He had fallen asleep, his chest rising and falling with his breathing, and his posture was still upright as usual.

Su Liu sighed silently and finally lay down again.

Early the next morning, she was woken up by Shen Luochen.

"What's going on?" She lay on the bed and opened her eyes drowsily, still very sleepy.

Because she went to bed too late yesterday and she still had some insomnia.

"I'd like to introduce you to someone. Didn't you say that we still lack manpower to open the store?"

Hearing Shen Luochen's calm voice, Su Liu suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed.

"Really?" She couldn't believe it, it was too sudden.

Shen Luochen nodded and clapped his hands again, as if giving a signal.

A black-clothed secret guard walked in from outside, accompanied by a boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Su Liu recognized him, it was Nineteen, he was a semi-acquaintance.

Nineteen led the young man up to her and said:
"Madam, this is a cousin of mine named Xiaoshun. He is quite clever and can be used by madam."

The young man nodded and bowed obediently.

"Cousin?"

Su Liu felt a little confused. She had previously thought that secret guards like Nineteen were lonely and widowed people who had severed family ties. It seemed that she had gone too far.

She looked at the young man again. He was fair and clean, and looked shy, but he was an honest child.

Anyway, I am also having a headache and I don’t have anyone who can help. If they all come to my door, it will be in vain if I don’t use them.

So she quickly accepted it and showed a friendly smile:

"Then, Xiaoshun, I will ask you to help me from now on."

Xiao Shun nodded quickly. He had been told before coming here to behave positively.

After Nineteen completed the task, he left, and Shen Luochen also went out to do his own business.
