When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

"Let's go together. Xixi hasn't been to the market for a long time. She just said she wanted to go to the market. I'll buy her two sets of clothes when the time comes."

Su Xiaowan nodded, and seeing that the fish was almost cooked, she went to the stove to wash the pot and added some green onions and ginger.

When he was about to light a fire, Xiao Beiguo had already brought over the cut fish pieces and sat down at the stove.

The tall man, about 1.80 meters tall, seemed a little out of place sitting in front of the stove.

"You go play with Xixi, I can do it by myself."

She felt uncomfortable with Xiao Beiguo here.

"Xixi, play in the hall by yourself. You are tired from playing by the river this morning. I will help you light the fire. Eat breakfast and take a nap. I have to go to the mountain to get some firewood in the afternoon."

Su Xiaowan hesitated and said, "I'll take Xixi with me, and she can help with some of the work."

By the way, see if there is anything I can sell on the mountain.

"Your hands and feet hurt, so stay home and take care of Xixi. I will stay home for a few more days this time. I will go get some firewood when I have time."

As Xiao Beiguo spoke, his eyes were fixed on her hand that was flipping the spatula.

The slender fingers were very long and white. He couldn't help but think of that scene. His throat moved slightly, and he lowered his head to add firewood. His eyes glanced at his trousers and his eyes darkened.

Su Xiaowan didn't say much, just thinking that he didn't want to follow him.

After lunch, it was still early. Xixi heard that she could go to the market in two days, and she danced with joy.

Then he looked at Su Xiaowan eagerly and asked cautiously, "Mom, can I buy an ice cream?"

Da Niu from next door and her cousin Erdan and Goudan have all eaten it. Every time I see them eating it, my mouth waters with greed.

Su Xiaowan thought of her previous life. One time, Xixi came back crying and covered in dirt, and she picked up a bamboo stick and beat her without saying a word.

Xixi cried and said that she had never eaten ice cream and wanted Erdan to give her a lick. However, Erdan pushed her to the ground and beat her.

At that time, Su Xiaowan scolded her, saying that a little girl had no right to eat ice cream and it was good enough to have food to eat.

Her heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles. Su Xiaowan hugged Xixi in her arms, feeling guilty and regretful.

She said softly, "Okay, when we go to the market, Mom will buy it for Xixi, and also buy a beautiful new dress and new shoes."

Although her little girl was not a princess, she was her princess. How could she not satisfy her small request?

The little girl seemed not to believe it. She tilted her head back with her eyes wide open.

"Really? Will mom really buy it for Xixi?"

Su Xiaowan was almost crying when she was asked this question. She hummed with red eyes, "It was my fault before. From now on, Xixi, tell me what you want. As long as it's possible, I will agree to it, okay?"

Even though the little girl felt that I treated her differently than before, I was still cautious.

Su Xiaowan needs to guide her slowly, let her gradually trust her and get close to her. Only in this way can she teach her little by little.

"Okay, Xixi, remember. You should tell mom if you have any problems in the future. But please don't hit me, okay?" Xixi said, with tears in her round eyes and a pouty little mouth.

Su Xiaowan was so heartbroken that she felt like she was broken. She was such a bad person in her previous life that she let a two-year-old child suffer like this.

"Mom will never hit Xixi again and will teach Xixi well, okay?"

Xixi nodded, hugged Su Xiaowan tightly with her little hands, and her soft and cute voice was tinged with tears.

"Mom, Xixi loves you and dad so much."

"Mom loves Xixi too." She loves him very much, regrets a lot, and feels guilty.

Xixi raised her face from her arms and asked softly, "Mom, don't you love Dad?"

Xiao Beiguo, who was outside the door, had just finished his work and walked to the door when he heard the little girl's words.

He paused and looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other with their backs to the door, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

In the past few days since he came back, he not only noticed the changes in Su Xiaowan, but also suspected that she had other ideas.

But her actions last night couldn't help but cause ripples in his heart, and he also wanted to know what kind of feelings Su Xiaowan had for him.

"Of course Mom loves Dad. If she didn't love Dad, how could she have given birth to Xixi?"

Su Xiaowan stroked the little girl's thin face, feeling more and more guilty and distressed.

As for her feelings for Xiao Beiguo, she had never thought about it carefully, whether in the past life or this life.

In her previous life, she married him only because she knew that he was good-looking and could make money, so she married him.

In this life, Xiao Beiguo is the same as in the previous life, even better than she imagined, but does she like him?

She didn't know. After all, in their era, even if they lived together for a lifetime, they might not really have feelings for each other. They were just making do with each other.

But she knew very well that no matter whether she liked Xiao Beiguo or not, she would live a good life with him in this life, unless he didn't want to live with her anymore.

Xiao Beiguo walked into the house, looked at the little girl and said, "Xixi, go take a nap quickly. Your mother's hands hurt and she can't hold you all the time."

Xixi glanced at Su Xiaowan's hand and nodded sensibly, "Xixi, go to sleep, and mom will sleep too. When you fall asleep, your hand won't hurt anymore."

"Okay, Mom will take Xixi to sleep." Su Xiaowan's voice was choked with sobs.

In her previous life, whenever Xixi fell and got hurt or felt uncomfortable, she would always say, "It won't hurt when you fall asleep."

Lying next to Xixi, the little girl leaned against her sensibly, but didn't dare to get too close. She closed her eyes and fell asleep soon.

Su Xiaowan kept staring at Xixi's face, the guilt and self-blame in her eyes almost overflowing from her eyes.

She suddenly felt heat from behind. Xiao Beiguo, with his upper body naked, was pressed against her back.

"Just be patient in teaching in the future. Xixi won't blame you."

Xiao Beiguo thought that as long as Su Xiaowan felt sorry for Xixi, even if she didn't love him, he would take good care of the mother and son.

"I know, I will take good care of her in the future." He will also take good care of Xiao Beiguo to make up for the regrets of his previous life.

Su Xiaowan wanted to turn around, but Xiao Beiguo was also lying on his side, right next to her, so she could only say, "Go to sleep for a while."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Beiguo held her hand.

Su Xiaowan's body trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"I'll rub some medicated wine on you, but I'm afraid you were too strong." Xiao Beiguo said seriously, and Su Xiaowan blushed when she heard it.

She glanced at him, lowered her head and wiped her face very seriously, not realizing at all how ambiguous her words were.

After rubbing it for a while, he said, "Try turning it and see if it still hurts."

Su Xiaowan moved and it really didn’t hurt that much anymore. She nodded, “Much better.”

"It will be fine if you massage it again in the evening." Xiao Beiguo also massaged her ankle, which was much better than yesterday.

After finishing, he put the medicinal wine back, went out to wash his hands, and wiped the sweat off his body.

When I came back, Su Xiaowan had already fallen asleep.

He lay beside her, looking at her sleeping face, and at that moment, he felt that they were a happy family of three.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Xiaowan's ankle was completely healed. Early in the morning, after breakfast, they took Xixi to the market in a ox cart.
