Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 181 The Children Go Home

Here, Lin Erzhu had purchased all the items needed for the roof-raising ceremony.

Then, following the stone, Er Mao and San Mao hurried home.

along the way,

The little ones were excitedly talking about what was happening at the academy.

Er Mao said excitedly:

"The article that the Master discussed today was very interesting!"

I can recite it from memory.

As he spoke, he began to recite, swaying his head:

Confucius said: "Is it not pleasant to learn with constant perseverance and application?"

"Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar?"

That innocent yet earnest appearance,

This caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Sanmao, not to be outdone, chimed in:

"We also played Cuju (ancient Chinese football) during recess, it was so much fun!"

"Shuang'er, I'll teach you how to play Cuju (an ancient Chinese football game) once your brother makes one."

Shuang'er went with her second uncle to pick up her brothers today.

Hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:

"Really? Third Brother?"

Then you'd better finish it quickly.

Sanmao nodded vigorously.

"Of course, Shuang'er,"

As soon as I got home, I started looking for ingredients to make it.

Once you've mastered the first one, I'll teach you how to kick it.

Er Mao joked from the side:

"Third brother, you'd better make a sturdy one."

"Don't let it fall apart after just a few kicks."

Sanmao snorted defiantly.

"Hmph, Second Brother, don't underestimate me."

The football I make will definitely be both beautiful and durable.

Stone laughed and said from the side:

"You two, one loves reading..."

One who loves playing football.

But Sanmao, you have to keep your word.

Don't just try to make Shuang'er happy.

Sanmao patted his chest and guaranteed:

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely keep my word."

at this time,

Lin Erzhu looked at the children's innocent and lively appearance.

I couldn't help but laugh:

"You little rascals,"

You must study hard and acquire skills at the academy.

May you all become successful people in the future.

The children nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

But just then, the oxcart turned onto the village path,

Suddenly, a cacophony of hoofbeats came from behind.

Stone has the sharpest eyes.

I could see the person on horseback behind me at a glance.

He shouted happily:

"Father, it's Father!"

Everyone turned around.

Lin Yunlan was seen riding a fine horse at full speed towards them.

He stood tall and straight, his expression calm.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yunlan arrived at the oxcart.

He pulled on the reins, the horse neighed, and reared up on its front hooves.

"Second brother, thank you for taking the children home."

Lin Yunlan saw Lin Erzhu driving an oxcart with the children on it.

He hurried forward and said.

Lin Erzhu responded with a smile:

"Third brother, why are you still being so polite with me?"

The children were very happy the whole way.

They were talking about interesting things that happened at the academy.

A cart pulled by a horse and an ox moved slowly forward.

They arrived at their doorstep in no time.

Lin Yunlan helped carry the children down from the oxcart.

Stone said impatiently:

"Father, let's go home and find Mother first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the children swarmed home.

Stone took the lead and rushed into the yard first.

Shouting loudly:

"Mom, we're back!"

That crisp and clear sound

It seemed to carry joyful notes.

The sound instantly echoed throughout the courtyard.

Er Mao and San Mao followed closely behind.

Like two cheerful little animals, their steps were hurried.

It stirred up a small whirlwind and shouted:

"Mother, Mother, we're back!"

Shuang'er, on the other hand, took short steps.

Try your best to keep up with your brothers.

Her rosy cheeks flushed red with anxiety.

Her little braids swung back and forth as she ran.

As she ran, she called out in her childish voice:

"Wait for me, brothers..."

"Mother, Shuang'er is back too!"

Dot and Bean are the most clever.

He immediately started circling around the little ones.

It wagged its tail happily.

It also made "woof, woof" sounds from time to time.

It seemed as if they were also warmly welcoming their little master back.

Hearing the shouts, Daya put down her purse and came out of the room.

A gentle smile graced her face.

"Stone, Frost, Er Mao, San Mao"

"Go wash your hands, there are delicious pastries."

The stone grinned.

"Okay, Sister Daya,"

What kinds of delicious pastries do you have?

I'm so hungry for it!

As he spoke, he pulled Shuang'er toward the basin of water.

Er Mao and San Mao followed excitedly behind.

Sanmao asked impatiently:

"Big Sister Ya, is it osmanthus cake?"

I love osmanthus cake the most!

Daya smiled and nodded.

"Sanmao, you guessed right!"

Not only does it have your favorite osmanthus cake,

There's also peach blossom cake, which is one of your favorites.

In the kitchen, a large bowl of fried chicken was already prepared.

That golden and crispy color,

It emits an enticing aroma.

It looks so delicious that it makes your mouth water.

Chunlan and the others also learned this skill.

They were arranging the fried chicken neatly and methodically.

Hearing the children's voices,

Chunlan said with a smile:

"Miss,

It must be the young masters and young ladies who have returned.

You can leave the kitchen to us.

"You and your wife should go and spend time with the children."

Lu Qingqing wiped her hands and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you guys."

Having said that, she took off her apron.

Together with Wang Xiuxiu, they carried the freshly made fried chicken out of the kitchen.

The children had just washed their hands and were standing in the living room.

Then we saw Wang Xiuxiu and Lu Qingqing each carrying a large plate of fried chicken as they walked over.

The aroma of fried chicken instantly filled the air.

Its golden color is like sunlight pouring down.

The outer layer was fried until crispy.

Each piece gleamed with an alluring luster.

It was still sizzling and oozing oil.

It has an enticing aroma.

The children were drawn in by the aroma of fried chicken.

That rich and mellow aroma, like an invisible hand,

It tightly grips their olfactory nerves.

Shuang'er's little nose trembled slightly.

Er Mao and San Mao's eyes were firmly fixed on the two plates of fried chicken.

His throat bobbed up and down as he swallowed.

But they still forced themselves to hold back their saliva.

He greeted Wang Xiuxiu and Lu Qingqing politely with clasped hands.

With a serious expression, Shi Tou took the lead in cupping his hands and respectfully said:

"Mom, Second Aunt, we're back."

The voice was clear and resonant, carrying the vigor of youth.

Wang Xiuxiu's eyes were filled with joy, and she quickly responded:

"Hey, it's good to be back. Come and sit down."

Lu Qingqing also greeted them with a smile:

"Kids, come and try this fried chicken!"

It smells so good!

Er Mao, San Mao, and Shuang'er also bowed respectfully.

They shouted in unison:

"Mother, Second Aunt, hello!"

Then the children gathered around the table.

Daya looked at her sensible younger siblings.

Filled with joy, he said:

"Everyone, get seated! Let's get ready to eat!"

Lu Qingqing noticed that Er Ya was not there and asked:

"Da Ya, where did Er Ya go?"

The voice just fell,

Then they saw Lin Qingshan and his two sons, along with Er Ya, walking over from outside.

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"Father, Second Brother, Yunlan, Erya"

You all should wash your hands quickly, the fried chicken is ready.

Lin Qingshan nodded slightly and responded with a smile:

"Alright, this smell is actually making my mouth water."

Lin Erzhu laughed heartily.

"My sister-in-law's cooking skills are truly exceptional."

This fried chicken is really delicious.

Lin Yunlan managed a smile,

But the worry in his eyes was still undeniable.

He silently went to the basin to wash his hands.

Er Ya happily ran to Lu Qingqing's side after washing her hands.

He said happily:

"I love my aunt's fried chicken the most!"

She looked up with her rosy little face.

His eyes sparkled with anticipation and excitement.

Her braids swayed gently with her movements.

Lu Qingqing smiled and patted Er Ya's head.

"I knew you, you little glutton, loved to eat."

"Sit down quickly, and eat more later."

Lu Qingqing was distributing fried chicken to the children,

While asking with concern:

"Stone, how have you been at the academy these past two weeks?"

Have you been eating and sleeping well?

Stone took a bite of the golden, crispy fried chicken.

A satisfied expression appeared on his face, and he answered hastily:

Mother, don't worry.

We eat well and sleep soundly at the college.

And I've been studying really hard lately.

The Analects as taught by Confucius

I can understand the reasoning behind it.

I even wrote down my thoughts, and the Master praised me highly after reading them.

Sanmao swallowed the food in her mouth and eagerly said:

"And me,"

The characters I wrote in calligraphy class were used by the teacher as a model for the other students.

They said I've made remarkable progress.

Er Mao excitedly waved the chopsticks in his hand.

We played a lot of new games in PE class.

My classmates and I worked together and won the competition.

That's really interesting.

Lu Qingqing listened to the children sharing their thoughts, one after another.

His smile grew even brighter.
