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

Su Xiaowan nodded, put the vegetables into the bowl, and scooped a spoonful of water into the pot.

"Didn't you say you wanted to live in a house? The crops in the fields are not enough for us to eat, and it's not easy for you to make money outside. Although this is a small business, it's so hot, someone should buy it."

In fact, she had no idea, but if she wanted to make money, she had to try.

"I will earn money to build a house, you just stay at home and take good care of Xixi."

Xiao Beiguo was a little surprised by her idea, but he didn't want her to work so hard for money.

More importantly, Xixi is so young, it is not convenient for her to take her to set up a stall with her.

"Don't you want to rest at home for a few days? Let me try first, but it may not work."

Xiao Beiguo nodded, "Okay, you try it first. If it doesn't work, you can just stay at home and take care of Xixi. I'll find a way to get the money to build a house."

After cooking two dishes, the family of three was just about to eat when Zhang Zhiwei's loud voice came in from outside.

"Brother Xiao."

Seeing him coming into the room sweating profusely, Su Xiaowan smiled and asked, "Has Zhiwei eaten yet?"

Although he disliked her, Zhang Zhiwei still raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his face for Xiao Beiguo's sake.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go back to eat in a while. I have something to talk to Brother Xiao about."

"Sit down and eat. I made some extra food for lunch. They're all home-cooked dishes. Order whatever you like."

Su Xiaowan placed the chopsticks, stood up, served him a bowl of rice.

Looking at the food in front of him, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes almost popped out and he had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Let's eat first." Xiao Beiguo knew what he wanted to ask.

Zhang Zhiwei had been busy for the whole morning and was really hungry now. He didn't hesitate and ate with big mouthfuls.

"Uncle, haven't you eaten?" Xixi opened her eyes wide and stared at Zhang Zhiwei's somewhat vulgar eating habits.

"Ah, I ate it this morning." Zhang Zhiwei was a little embarrassed. He picked up a piece of meat for the little girl and said with a smile, "Xixi, uncle will buy you a fun toy later."

Xixi said "Oh" and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, uncle."

Although he was very hungry, Zhang Zhiwei only ate a bowl of rice and stared at the few remaining dishes, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Xiao Beiguo put down his bowl and chopsticks, and he got up and went to the yard.

"Brother Xiao, I've found the thing you asked me to find out. Do you want to give it a try tonight? If it works, you can earn this much money."

Zhang Zhiwei stretched out three fingers and gestured, looking excited.

"Okay, take your things with you, be careful, and go out after dinner." Xiao Beiguo didn't say much.

He needs money so much now. Even Su Xiaowan is thinking about making money, but what he earns is still too little.

"Okay." Zhang Zhiwei agreed and glanced inside the house. "Brother Xiao, can I come to your place for dinner tonight? I can bring rice. Sister-in-law's dishes are really delicious. I didn't even have enough to eat just now."

"Ask your sister-in-law. Cooking is tiring."

Zhang Zhiwei is an orphan. His parents died when he was young. He was originally raised by his grandfather, but that also died when he was less than ten years old.

In order to fill his stomach, he often went fishing and snatching bird eggs in the mountains and rivers. That's how he met Xiao Beiguo, who was also trying to avoid going hungry.

It can be said that the two of them got to know each other through fighting, and he was really convinced by Xiao Beiguo's beating, and has followed him ever since.

"Okay, I'll go ask my sister-in-law right away."

Zhang Zhiwei rushed into the house and grinned at Su Xiaowan, "Sister-in-law, can I come to your place for dinner? I'll bring you some rice later."

"Okay, come on, forget about the rice." Su Xiaowan had no choice but to refuse. Zhang Zhiwei and Xiao Beiguo had such a good relationship that he almost killed her when he died in his previous life.

But for some reason, he did nothing afterwards and just glared at her fiercely with red eyes.

Even when she was hospitalized for cancer, he helped contact the doctor and brought the two children to see her.

"Of course I need rice. I can eat it. I'll deliver it to you soon." After saying this, Zhang Zhiwei left in a flash.

When Xiao Beiguo came in, Su Xiaowan and Xixi had finished their meal and she was cleaning the table.

"Let me do it. You take Xixi to sleep."

Su Xiaowan nodded, washed Xixi's face and told her a story. Maybe she had a good time in the morning and fell asleep soon.

She got up to find a basket to put the chickens and ducks she had bought, and saw that Xiao Beiguo had already prepared them and locked them under the eaves of the yard.

"You've done it all." Su Xiaowan watched him surround and separate them.

The chicks' side is quite dry, and the ducklings' side has a place next to the ditch under the eaves where they can drink water.

"Keep it here for now and let it out when it grows bigger." Xiao Beiguo fixed it in place and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.

The vest on his body was soaked with sweat. Su Xiaowan said, "Take off your vest, get some water from the pot and wipe it. I'll wash it for you."

Xiao Beiguo nodded, took off his vest and handed it to her.

Looking at his tight abdominal muscles, broad shoulders and narrow waist, every muscle contains infinite power.

Su Xiaowan didn’t know if it was because of the heat or something, but her cheeks were so hot.

"Do you want to wash your face?" Xiao Beiguo asked casually.

"I'll be there in a moment." Su Xiaowan took the vest to the well, washed it and hung it on a bamboo pole to dry.

Looking at the clothes she bought in the morning, which were now dried, she put them away.

After a while, Xiao Beiguo brought some water and said, "Wipe your body too. It will be more comfortable when you fall asleep."

He sat at the door for a while and was soaked from head to toe. Su Xiaowan was cooking in the kitchen and her condition must not be much better.

Su Xiaowan wanted to say no, but Xiao Beiguo had already put the water on the stool, "I'll go lie down first, you wipe it."

She hummed, went to the closet to get a small piece of clothing, turned her back to him, and took off her clothes awkwardly.

Xiao Beiguo lay on the bed, with his hands behind his head, looking at her slender back.

As she wiped her body, some scenes became vaguely visible.

Xiao Beiguo couldn't help but swallow, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and stopped himself from thinking about it.

After a while, I heard Su Xiaowan getting on the bed, and a light fragrance came over.

He couldn't help but ask, "Did you buy the soap?" Why does it smell so good?

"It's not the one you bought last time. I don't use that very often. Xixi uses it more."

Xiao Beiguo turned around and looked at her, and what he saw was the towering mountains. His eyes dimmed and his whole body felt hot and uneasy.

"It's too hot. Wear this to keep cool." Su Xiaowan pulled at her clothes uncomfortably.

Xiao Beiguo squeezed out a word from his throat, "Well, it seems to be a little small." As he spoke, his hand naturally fell on her waist.

It was already very hot, and the temperature from his palm made Su Xiaowan want to escape.

Xiao Beiguo did not move. His hand stopped at her waist but he did not make any further moves. He just asked, "Have you lost weight again?"

The waist seems to be a little thinner than before, but the upper part is a circle bigger.

Su Xiaowan didn't pay much attention and said casually, "Maybe it's hot in summer."

She turned over, turned her back to Xiao Beiguo, and reached out to touch Xixi's neck.

Xiao Beiguo leaned over, his chest pressed against her back, and whispered, "Talk to Xixi more when you have time. She has become more fluent in her speech these past two days."

"Yes, I know. I will teach her." Su Xiaowan's body trembled slightly, and even her breathing became a little unstable.

Xiao Beiguo buried his head in her neck and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Wan, I'm going out with Zhiwei tonight and may be back very late."
