The two of them slept until almost six o'clock. When they woke up, the sun had already set outside.

Su Xiaowan looked at Xiao Beiguo who had just woken up, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Beiguo's voice was a little hoarse and lazy, as if he had just woken up.

"No, I'm a little surprised to see you sleep so long. You've been too tired lately. Let's find someone to help at the farm, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it."

Xiao Beiguo sat up and said after a while, "Let's take a look first. The ducks are almost ready to be released. The first batch of chickens and pigs are kept separately. We need to pay more attention to the newly caught chickens, ducks and pigs, so we will be a little busy."

"I'll see if I can find someone suitable later. We can't afford to have any mistakes over there right now, and we need to find someone reliable."

Su Xiaowan nodded. This was a critical moment and there couldn't be any mistakes, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Get up first. Mom and the others are probably waiting for us to have dinner."

Xiao Beiguo lifted the quilt, put on his clothes, and handed Su Xiaowan's to her.

The two of them got dressed and went out. Su's mother and Old Man Xiao took Xixi to play in the yard, and from time to time they could hear the two elders' reminders.

"Dad, Mom." Su Xiaowan walked over quickly.

"I'm awake now. I just told your father-in-law that we'll have dinner later. He said you guys were too tired these days and didn't get a good rest."

"I'm quite busy these days. I have to keep an eye on the farm and the planting. We'll find someone later and it will be easier then."

Su Xiaowan pulled her mother to sit down, "Where's Dad?"

When Su's father came this time, Su Xiaowan also found that he was very different from before, especially in front of Su's mother, he didn't dare to speak loudly.

Even when eating, she kept her head down, so honest that she was a little unlike her father.

"He's bored, go out for a walk, he'll come back on his own when he gets hungry later, don't worry about him."

Mother Su looked at Xiao Beiguo moving a stool and said with a smile, "Beiguo, you have lost a lot of weight recently. Don't be too tired. The last time I came, you were not this thin."

"Mom, I'm a man, it's okay for me to be thin, don't worry, I've just been too busy lately, I'll gain weight when I have some free time."

Xiao Beiguo didn't care too much about it. His health had always been good and he didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere.

"Although making money is a good thing, you have to take care of your body. A while ago I said Xiaowan had lost weight, but she seems fine these days. But you have lost a lot of weight."

Mother Su's face was filled with worry, and she reminded him, "Xiao Wan, make some chicken soup for Bei Guo later to nourish him. Don't exhaust yourself."

"Mom, there's really no need. How can I, a grown man, eat these?" Xiao Beiguo was very touched.

"Just listen to what your mother-in-law says. You two must make good use of your health. You can't earn all this money in one day. How can you make money without good health?" Old Man Xiao said with a stern face.

"My father-in-law is right. These two kids are always thinking about making money. If they don't take good care of their health now, it will be difficult to treat them when they find something wrong."

Su's mother felt both distressed and sad. After all, she was like this in her previous life, so when she came back in this life, she started to take care of her health.

Even though I don’t have a strong ability to make money, it’s much better than my previous life.

Even the quilts, sheets, dishes and chopsticks that were sent to Su Xiaowan's new house were bought with the money she earned.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take it seriously. Sister Ting and I will buy some chickens and stew them for you later."

Su Xiaowan had this thought just now. Now that Su's mother has seen how thin Xiao Beiguo has become, she cannot ignore this matter.

"It's fine if you care about it. Don't think we old people are nagging. We have suffered this loss before, so we don't want you to follow the path we have taken."

Mother Su stood up and said, "Please sit for a while. I'll go heat up the food. There are still a lot of food left from lunch."

"Mom, I'll go. You and Xiaowan can sit and talk for a while."

Xiao Beiguo stood up and was about to leave, but Mother Su held his wrist and said, "Sit down. It's a rare opportunity to rest. I can't help you with anything else, but I can help you with some small things."

"Mother-in-law, let me light the fire." Old man Xiao also stood up.

Looking at these two elders, Su Xiaowan felt warm in her heart. It was really nice to have someone who cared about her.

She pulled Xiao Beiguo to sit down, "Let them sit down, heat up the food, it won't be tiring, they are still happy."

"Okay, but I just think it's not good for mother to help with things when she comes home so rarely." Xiao Beiguo knew that Su's mother used to be busy all the time.

"You can't say that in front of her. Compared to your heartache, she is actually happier when she does something."

Su Xiaowan understands her mother too well, especially after she went back last time, she found that her mother had changed a lot.

When it was almost time for dinner, Su's father came back, still with his head hung and very few words.

After dinner, the family sat in the hall and chatted. Old Man Xiao asked casually, "My dear, is there any good work to do in this winter?"

Father Su drank tea and shook his head helplessly, "What can happen? My son Zigui is now looking for odd jobs outside, and the wages are low."

"The pay is low, but he can still do it honestly?" Su Xiaowan was very surprised. She knew very well what kind of person her brother was.

"He chose that girl and worked day and night to marry her, just to raise enough money for the bride price."

"He wants to get married, so shouldn't he make money? A grown man has to fight for what he wants. If he thinks about his parents all day, when he gets married, his wife and children will suffer."

Su Xiaowan was shocked by her mother's words. She looked at her for a long time before she came to her senses.

When did her mother become so tough?

"Mom is right. Zigui is not a child anymore. If he wants to marry a wife, she must be able to support the family. Otherwise, if he has a child in the future and cannot support it, you two old people will suffer as well."

Xiao Beiguo has relied on himself since he was young and doesn't think this little bit of hardship is a big deal.

He also believes that men should be responsible and shoulder the burden of a family.

"That being said, it's not that it's hard to find a job, and the wages are low. If he can't find a job, when will he be able to save enough money for the bride price?"

Father Su's face was more worried. "Beiguo, you used to run around a lot. Can you help me see if there is any suitable work for Zigui to do?"

"If you have work here, that's fine too. You can decide on the wages. It's fine as long as it's not lower than what you get outside."

"You ask Beiguo to help you find it. He is doing it at home now. Where can you find it? Zigui is so old, he can't find it himself."

Su's mother doesn't want Su Zigui to have someone to help him everywhere. He has to grow up, otherwise everything in his previous life will still evolve!

"I'm just talking. I don't have to ask Beiguo to find it." Father Su's voice suddenly lowered.

Su Xiaowan glanced at Xiao Beiguo, and he said, "My farm is looking for someone, but the work is very tiring, and it's only 15 yuan a month. If Zigui is willing to do it, he can do it anytime."

"Beiguo, how can this be possible!" Su's mother said in a firm tone.
