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

"So should I leave the door open for you or should I wait for you to come back before going to bed?"

In his previous life, Xiao Beiguo would often go out. Su Xiaowan didn’t know what he did there, but every time he came back, he would always give her a hundred yuan.

In the 1980s, there were few ways to make money, unless you did something that was not visible to the public, but that also came with risks, but the rewards were good.

"If you're not sleepy, wait for me. You can take Xixi home. It's not safe if the door is left open."

Xiao Beiguo was like this in his previous life. Even if he went out, he would ask her to wait, and he would come back as early as possible.

"Okay, I'll wait for you then. I'll cook you something to eat and put it in the pot later."

Xiao Beiguo rubbed her neck again, his lips brushing over the fair skin, somewhat out of control.

"Don't, it's broad daylight. It would be bad if Xixi wakes up and sees it." Su Xiaowan felt the changes in his body and lowered her voice to stop him.

She was a little confused. In his previous life, Xiao Beiguo was obviously not keen on this kind of thing, but in this life, he seemed to have become a different person.

Every time she met his eyes, she felt as if she was not wearing anything.

"Well, I won't touch you, but just lean against you. You smell so good, so nice."

Xiao Beiguo said this, but his hands were not honest at all. They moved up along her waist and stopped under her collarbone.

"Go to bed quickly, we have to go out at night." Su Xiaowan slapped his rebellious hand away, her heart pounding.

Xiao Beiguo couldn't bear it a bit, but he was concerned about the daytime, so he nodded and closed his eyes to sleep.

When it was almost three o'clock, Su Xiaowan got up, found a backpack and a bag, and Xiao Beiguo followed her out the door carrying Xixi.

"I'll go with you and pick up some firewood."

Su Xiaowan didn't say anything. Agarwood can be found everywhere in the mountains, so she didn't dare to get too much. She wanted to try the effect first.

"Mom, what are you going to do?" Xixi's eyes rolled around, curious and happy.

She is so happy these days, and her mother and father are with her every day.

"Go get the jelly grass and make jelly for you later."

Xixi exclaimed, "Is it the green one? Grandma made it before, and it tasted terrible."

"I promise you'll like it when I make it later."

Su Xiaowan had eaten this in a big city in her previous life. She added a little vinegar and sugar, and the taste was refreshing and a little sweet. It was very delicious.

"Doesn't this thing have a smell?" Xiao Beiguo frowned. Most people don't like to eat this grass jelly.

"Well, if you add something, the taste won't be so strong. I'll make it for you to try later."

Xiao Beiguo didn't ask any more questions. It was rare that Su Xiaowan was no longer thinking about having a son, so he was happy to see her find something else to do.

Even if I can't make money, at least I can give her some other ideas.

When they reached the mountain, Su Xiaowan told Xixi not to wander around, and she carried a basket on her back and went to the nearby area to pick all the agar-agar grass she could.

Xiao Beiguo was chopping firewood nearby, and occasionally chatted with Xixi.

At around five o'clock, Su Xiaowan got a backpack and a sack.

Xiao Beiguo picked up a large bundle of firewood, looked at the backpack on her body, and took it directly and put it on his back.

"Carry Xixi. It's not easy to walk down the mountain."

Su Xiaowan was sweating all over. She threw the sack in her hand at her feet and picked up Xixi.

"Let's go, I'll do this." Xiao Beiguo picked up the bag at her feet.

This thing isn't heavy, so I didn't feel anything when I was carrying it.

Su Xiaowan was still thinking about saying that it would be too hard for him, but she had already passed away.

"Mom, hurry up and chase him, Dad is gone." Xixi shouted and urged.

Although Xiao Beiguo was walking in front, he didn't walk too fast. He waited for them to catch up before continuing walking.

After they got down the mountain, Su Xiaowan said, "You go first. I'm slow."

Such a big bundle of firewood must weigh at least 160 or 170 pieces. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't tired.

"It's okay, it's not very serious." Xiao Beiguo didn't feel much.

In order to live a good life, he has been training himself to be strong since he was young, and even more so in recent years.

They got home at about six o'clock. Su Xiaowan let Xixi play by herself and went into the kitchen.

For steamed buns at night, the dough has been kneaded when I wake up in the afternoon, and now I can steam them directly.

Su Xiaowan fried two dishes, and thinking that Zhang Zhiwei was coming, she also made a plate of smashed cucumbers.

As soon as the food was served, Zhang Zhiwei came. After the meal, Xiao Beiguo left without waiting for her.

When Xixi saw Xiao Beiguo leaving, she pouted and looked outside with red eyes.

"What's wrong, Xixi?" Su Xiaowan felt so distressed.

"Dad is gone, Xixi can't see him anymore."

Su Xiaowan hugged him and kissed him, comforting him, "Dad and uncle are out for something, they will be back later."

"really?"

"Really? Mom is not lying to you. We will take a bath and go to bed early. Dad will be home tomorrow morning."

Xixi nodded seriously. After dinner, she waited for Su Xiaowan to clean up and take a bath, then she lay on the bed and listened to a story.

After the child fell asleep, Su Xiaowan packed up the grass jelly she brought back in the afternoon and made some of it.

By the time we finished all this, it was already ten o'clock at night.

Su Xiaowan rubbed her aching waist, took a shower and washed her hair, and by the time her hair was dry, it was already eleven o'clock.

She sat under the eaves, looking at the dark night. The village was so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard.

Obviously, Xiao Beiguo has not returned yet, otherwise the dogs in the village would not be so quiet.

After entering the room, she bolted the door and lay down on the bed. Xixi was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face.

Su Xiaowan touched her face, looked at her face in a daze, and fell asleep in a daze without realizing it.

Until Xiao Beiguo's voice came from the door, "Xiao Wan, open the door, it's me."

She suddenly opened her eyes and stood up, opened the door, and saw a man with a dusty face.

Seeing her sleepy face, he pulled her into the room and closed the door.

"Don't you want to take a shower?" Su Xiaowan thought he wanted to, and she felt a little shy.

Xiao Beiguo took out a purse from his arms, which contained a lot of big unity notes. He took them all out and handed them to her.

"Keep this and buy whatever you want later. Don't be reluctant. You can buy two bigger ones for that small piece of clothing."

Su Xiaowan looked at the stack of money and was shocked. "Is this all what you earned tonight?"

This should be at least three or four hundred.

"Well, I was lucky tonight. I met a businessman from out of town. He knew the goods and bought them for one thousand dollars."

He and Zhang Zhiwei each took half.

"What are you selling?" So valuable?

This is speculation and it will be troublesome if you get caught.

"Don't worry, we are just tinkering with some things to sell. It's not against the law. The higher-ups already have documents that allow for the buying and selling of these things. It's just that we are a bit backward and don't know about it yet."

Su Xiaowan didn't say anything else, just said, "Keep some of this money with you, you'll need it for food and other things when you go out."

Thinking about what Zhang Zhiwei had said to her before, Su Xiaowan felt that the money was too hot to handle.

"I left thirty dollars, which is enough. If anything happens, I still have Zhiwei. Don't worry."

Su Xiaowan wanted to say something, but Xiao Beiguo said, "I'm going to take a shower, wait for me."

Su Xiaowan knew what he was waiting for. Seeing his tireless appearance, she just said, "There are steamed buns in the pot. They are still hot. Have some."

Xiao Beiguo nodded, then took his shorts and went to the kitchen.
