When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.
Chapter 16: I didn't sleep well for a night
"Go to sleep. I'll rub your waist for you. You have to get up early tomorrow morning."
Xiao Beiguo's voice was very low, his breath sprayed in Su Xiaowan's ears, and his body trembled slightly, as if an electric current was flowing through it.
She thought he wanted to, but she didn't expect it to be like this, and her heart felt warm.
Su Xiaowan hummed and closed her eyes. The force on her waist was not very strong, but it was very comfortable.
The waist that had been sore all day was relieved and soon I fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Beiguo listened to her shallow breathing and his eyes fell on her profile through the dim light in the room.
For some reason, he felt that Su Xiaowan seemed more beautiful now than before.
The person is still the same person, the face is still the same face, but I always feel like something is different.
Xiao Beiguo couldn't sleep that night and went to bed very late. He didn't open his eyes until Su Xiaowan woke up early the next morning.
Glancing at the still-dawn sky outside, Xiao Beiguo spoke lazily, still half asleep.
"Why are you up so early? What else do you want to do?"
Su Xiaowan just thought that he was too tired after being busy all day yesterday, "You sleep a little longer, I need to cut and pack the jelly."
"I'll help you." Xiao Beiguo sat up. He had only slept for three hours.
Su Xiaowan didn't say anything else. She got dressed and went to wash up, then kneaded the dough to prepare some steamed buns for breakfast.
After finishing these, Xiao Beiguo has already prepared the chicks and ducklings.
He came in and saw Su Xiaowan cutting jelly with a thin piece of bamboo.
"What do you want me to do?" He didn't quite know how to do this.
"Please help me fetch two buckets of well water. Half a bucket will be enough."
Xiao Beiguo nodded, went out with the bucket, and came back with water after a while.
Seeing that Su Xiaowan had already cut the jelly and was about to cut it into small pieces, he stepped forward and said, "I'll do this, you do the rest."
"Okay, just cut this in half. If it sells well, it will be quick to cut it later."
Xiao Beiguo cut the pieces skillfully and the pieces were very even in size.
By the time the two of them had finished all these, it was already bright and Xixi had gotten up.
After the family of three finished breakfast, Su Xiaowan took a shoulder pole carrying two buckets and some bowls, chopsticks and spoons.
Before leaving, she said to Xiao Beiguo, "You stay at home to take care of Xixi. You can eat lunch by yourselves. I guess I won't be back until late."
Xiao Beiguo had already changed his clothes and came out holding Xixi, who was wearing a newly bought dress.
"Let's go together. I have nothing to do today."
Su Xiaowan said "oh" and turned to pick up the bucket. Xiao Beiguo put Xixi down and strode forward to take the carrying pole.
"I'll choose, you hold Xixi."
Although these two barrels are not particularly heavy, they still weigh about 100 pounds when separated.
Su Xiaowan wanted to say that she could do it, but Xiao Beiguo was already walking out with a shoulder pole, so she could only pick up Xixi and follow him.
The two of them went out one after the other. Today was the market day, and people in the village had gone out one after another.
Seeing Xiao Beiguo carrying two buckets out, everyone was extremely curious.
"Xiao Wan." A familiar voice came from behind.
"Sister Ting." Su Xiaowan was a little shocked when she saw Su Ting.
Su Ting and she are from the same village, and it was she who arranged for her to marry Xiao Beiguo.
But in her previous life, Su Xiaowan had been told by Su Ting many times to let go of the issue of having a son.
He also told her that Xiao Beiguo was not that kind of person and asked her to live a stable life with him.
But she just thought that Su Ting couldn't bear to see her doing well because she gave birth to two sons.
Su Xiaowan, who has lived two lives, also understood one truth.
A person who truly cares about you will help you and advise you no matter whether you are poor or rich. She does this from the bottom of her heart for your own good.
Only those who say nice things on the surface but do all kinds of evil things secretly are the ones with real bad intentions.
"I heard that you had a fight with Liu Cuihua. What happened?" Su Ting felt sorry for Su Xiaowan from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiao Wan, listen to Sister Ting's advice. Don't use those folk remedies. Live a good life with Bei Guo. He is a good man. You won't suffer any loss if you follow him."
Su Xiaowan felt a lump in her throat. In two lives, Su Ting was always so sincere to her.
“Well, I won’t do that again, Sister Ting, don’t worry, I will live a good life with Beiguo.”
When Su Ting heard her say this, a look of relief appeared on her face, and she took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Xixi.
"Eat candy girl."
"Thank you, aunt." Xixi took it and glanced at Su Xiaowan, somewhat hesitant to eat it.
"Eat it. It's okay to eat what your aunt gives you." Su Xiaowan knew that it was because she had never eaten it before. Normally, Su Ting treated Xixi better than her own mother.
"Xiao Wan, what did you pick?"
Su Xiaowan whispered to Su Ting that she was going to sell jelly.
"That's good. People in the city like these." Su Ting agreed.
"When we get to the city, you and Beiguo can go and sell the goods. I'll help you take care of Xixi. I'll also go buy some things and take her around."
Su Xiaowan thought about it and agreed, "Then I'll trouble Sister Ting."
"No matter what troubles our family members have, as long as you live a good life, Sister Ting will be happy."
Su Xiaowan choked up and hummed, unable to utter a word.
In this life, she must be sincere to Su Ting. In the previous life, Su Ting and his wife lived in harmony, but they almost got divorced because of their trouble-making parents-in-law and sister-in-law.
Later, Su Xiaowan went to the city and never saw Su Ting again after she got cancer. She only heard that her life was not easy and her husband broke his leg in order to earn more money.
Along the way, the two chatted and ignored other people's prejudices against them until they arrived at the market.
Su Ting helped them find the stall and stayed there for a while before taking Xixi to look around.
It wasn't very early yet, and there were quite a few people coming and going in the market.
Su Xiaowan felt a little worried when she saw the jelly that no one was interested in.
It was just past eight o'clock that day and she was already sweating profusely. She served Xiao Beiguo a bowl of jelly and added some sugar and vinegar.
"Eat some of this to cool you down."
Xiao Beiguo's clothes were soaked by the heat, and he was a little thirsty, so he drank it directly.
The smooth, tender and fragrant taste slides down the throat. The sour taste of vinegar and the sweet taste of sugar are mixed together. It is sour and not greasy, and it is very thirst-quenching.
"How is it?" Su Xiaowan saw him stop after taking a bite and thought it was not tasty, so she frowned.
"It's delicious, tender, smooth and refreshing, not too sweet, very thirst-quenching, I'll have another bowl."
Su Xiaowan watched him eat a bowl of rice in a short while, and then served him another bowl. After finishing the two bowls, Xiao Beiguo felt refreshed.
Some people around had already seen Su Xiaowan serving jelly to Xiao Beiguo. Although he didn't eat it, the fragrant smell was very tempting when it was opened.
Someone came up and asked, "How much is this jelly?"
"Two bowls for 1 cent, with sugar and vinegar. A whole bowl for 1 cent, without sugar and vinegar."
"It's so expensive." The woman was obviously hesitant.
"Sister, this is not expensive. I added sugar and vinegar. This syrup costs only 1.2 yuan per bowl. This jelly is good for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat."
"If you buy it, I just opened this shop, how about I give you a piece of this for free?" Su Xiaowan pointed at the jelly as big as a man's palm, but she was very worried in her heart.
People of this generation, even if things are very cheap, will still be reluctant to buy them if they really want to.
