Xu Qizhen bought a gift for her niece and hurried back to Xu's house.

Her parents, brothers and sisters watched her carefully.

Seeing that she looked much better than before, and her cheeks were a little fleshy, I was secretly relieved.

In addition to the Xu family, several relatives and friends, Li Mei's classmates, her classmates' parents and Ruan Yanfeng came to the banquet.

"I'm just in time." Ruan Yanfeng explained.

Xu Qizhen nodded.

The banquet was very lively. Li Mei invited more than a dozen students. The children began to play after eating the cake, and the restaurant was full of laughter.

Xu Qizhen took a cake, walked out of the restaurant and sat on the swing in the courtyard.

Ruan Yanfeng came over and asked her, "do you mind if I smoke?"

"You are free." She said.

Ruan Yanfeng lit the cigarette and asked her, "you don't seem very happy today..."

"To be exact, a little angry." Xu Qizhen said, "I just knew that my stepson had a biological mother. The woman was sneaky and went to my restaurant for a long time. I thought she was a repeat customer. I didn't think she was spying on me."

Ruan Yanfeng smiled.

Xu Qizhen wondered, "what are you laughing at?"

"... I came earlier today." Ruan Yanfeng said, "after talking to your father for a long time, they regret it very much. They are afraid that you will follow Xu Pei's old path.

Xu Pei had no strength to be angry in his last days. You're OK. You feel angry. You won't become the second Xu Pei. "

Xu Qizhen ate the cake silently.

The cake is sweet, but the texture is not delicate enough. She thought of the cake she made with coconut milk. Her two stepchildren surrounded her and looked at her with black and moist eyes like small animals. It was full of longing, which made her heart soft.

"Have you come often lately?" She asked Ruan Yanfeng.

Ruan Yanfeng nodded.

Since the turmoil in Singapore, he has been close to the Xu family.

When Xu Qizhen had another "accident", Xu Shaoan was more and more careful with his children. Instead, he was willing to talk to Ruan Yanfeng.

"Very good. My second brother must be willing to do so. He is in peace." Xu Qizhen said.

This day's banquet was held until more than ten o'clock in the evening.

Mrs. Xu stayed with Xu Qizhen: "don't go back today."

She hasn't come back to her mother's house for several months. Mrs. Xu is a little guilty and has a deliberately flattering smile.

If Yamamoto did not appear, Xu Qizhen would really live.

Now, she wants to go back to Yan's house. Anyway, she is Yan Ziqing's wife and the Yan family is her territory. You can't let an inch of land in your own territory.

"No, I'll bring the children another day." Xu Qizhen said.

Mrs. Xu Yuzhi. She didn't dare say anything and turned away.

When Xu Qizhen left, her eldest sister Xu qiongzhen sent her to the gate.

The eldest sister said to her, "it's the hardest to be a stepmother. We should be measured. We'd rather be distant and indifferent than too close. Being a stepmother is meritorious without mistakes."

Xu Qizhen glanced at her eldest sister: "you're so tacky."

Her eldest sister stopped at one breath and couldn't say a lot of things for her good.

She is sincere for Xu Qizhen.

Her parents are responsible for Xu Qizhen's marriage, and her eldest sister knows it.

Xu Qizhen and Gu Shao broke up. Those people in Nanjing said a lot of rumors. Their parents were face loving people, so they suffered a lot of social pressure.

The news of Xu Qizhen's pregnancy was spread everywhere as a joke by her relatives. Her parents were traditional people and felt that there was no way to go, so they had to put pressure on Xu Qizhen.

However, after Xu Qizhen committed suicide, her parents did not dare to mention it any more and preferred not to raise their heads.

But it was Xu Qizhen who finally said he would marry Yan Ziqing.

Everyone has made mistakes in this marriage, but it is Xu Qizhen's last choice. She blames the Xu family, her parents, her brothers and sisters, and is always angry.

The eldest sister can see through that she is also one of ten thousand people who disagree with Xu Qizhen's marriage to Yan Ziqing.

Not only the reputation of the Yan family, but more importantly, the two children of Yan Ziqing consumed half of Xu Qizhen's life.

Stepmothers are the hardest to do. Well done. Say you have no intention. When the children are slightly provoked by outsiders, they turn against their stepmother and feed all the dogs with kindness; If you do badly, you will be said to be vicious. The children regard you as a flood and beast and try their best to revenge you. It seems that you are heinous and can be punished infinitely for a small mistake

Zoom in.

The eldest sister thinks that her sister's marriage to Yan Ziqing is like stepping into hell. It's just that she is also very interested in Yan Ziqing's two children.

"Do evil..." The eldest sister is both distressed and worried.

After Xu Qizhen came home, she saw two children dozing off. They both sat on the sofa and refused to go back to their room. They could not be persuaded by the nursing mother.

"Mommy is back." Yan Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up and hugged Xu Qizhen's legs.

Yan Kai also woke up.

"Go to bed." Xu Qizhen picked up Yan Qi and touched Yan Kai's head.

Yan Kai opened his eyes to sleep: "Mommy, I want to eat steamed stuffed buns tomorrow morning. Steamed stuffed buns with water."

That's Xu Qizhen's best small steamed dumpling.

"Well, I'll make it for you tomorrow morning. Go to bed first." Xu Qizhen said.

The two children went to bed satisfied.

After Xu Qizhen groomed, it was already 11:30 p.m., but she thought of Yamamoto Jing and was particularly upset.

She got up and was ready to make the small steamed dumplings to be made tomorrow morning.

She cooked a pot of soup with spare ribs yesterday. After soaking it in cold water for a whole day, the soup has solidified into trembling pieces.

Xu Qizhen burned water and prepared noodles.

At the beginning, she heard the footsteps of leather shoes. A moment later, the footsteps stopped outside the kitchen.

As soon as she looked back, she found that her husband Yan Ziqing was still in the same outfit - leather shoes, trousers and white shirt. It's just that the shirt is stained with coffee stains, which makes the whole dress dirty.

He hasn't changed yet. It can be seen that he has just come back.

"... make a midnight snack?" He asked Xu Qizhen.

He likes to watch Xu Qizhen cook. Whether it's kneading noodles or cutting vegetables, her movements are very agile.

The Xu family used to have many industries, including a good restaurant. Xu Qizhen's school is close to the restaurant. When she was a child, she went to the restaurant to eat after school. A master specially opened a small stove for her and taught her to cook.

She was influenced by it and has been interested in cooking since then.

She has also deliberately refined her skills. The dishes she makes not only taste good, but also have exquisite colors and dishes. Therefore, there are both dishes and selling appearances.

"Well, make small dumplings." Xu Qizhen said, "would you like some?"

The small dumpling she made has thick and delicious soup, thin and tough skin and fresh filling. It is the best dumpling Yan Ziqing has ever eaten.

"Then I have a blessing in the mouth." He said.

He stood behind him and watched Xu Qizhen busy.

When Xu Qizhen was cooking, she was most annoyed by others, and she didn't need help. She cut everything, even the side dishes and ingredients, herself.

Everything has to go through her hand before she has a sense of security. Yan Ziqing was a little distracted and suddenly heard Xu Qizhen ask him, "will you return Kai to her?"
