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

Old Man Xiao took a sip of the wine and put it down. "If you want me to take care of Xixi, I will go with you. When she is older and no longer needs to be taken care of, I will go back home and look after the house for you. You can come back to see me during the holidays."

He knew that he was old and couldn't help them much, so now he could only help take care of the children.

In a few years, Xixi will go to primary school, and it would be inappropriate for him to stay there all the time and become annoying.

"Dad, wherever Beiguo and I live is your home. You don't have to think so much in your own home. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable."

Su Xiaowan also felt sorry for Old Man Xiao, who had worked so hard all his life but in the end didn't even have his own home.

Even if they treated him sincerely, he would still worry about causing them trouble and making them unhappy.

This cautiousness was something he would never lose throughout his life.

Old man Xiao burst into tears, his cloudy eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "Xiao Wan, Dad knows you are a good child."

"Dad is old and has many bad habits. The city is different from the countryside. Dad knows that."

He was afraid that he had not done well, and they were reluctant to tell him, which put the couple in an awkward position.

"Dad, Beiguo and I are busy with our careers. If you can help us, we will be much more relaxed."

Su Xiaowan's words came from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for Old Man Xiao, they would have to have someone to take care of Xixi alone.

"Dad, don't be like my mom. Why think about these things? Since I raised you, I will definitely take care of you."

Xiao Beiguo didn't like Old Man Xiao's self-sacrifice and his words that made people feel burdened.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat. It will get cold if we don't eat now. We have to go see my sister-in-law later."

Xixi raised her face, her mouth full of oil, "Mom, did you give birth to a little brother?"

"Well, Xixi, can you come with mom to see little brother later?"

"Okay, Xixi is a big sister now. I want to go see my little brother."

After dinner, Su Xiaowan gave Xiao Beiguo a red envelope of one hundred yuan and asked him to catch two chickens and take dozens of eggs to Zhang Haijiao's home.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Zhang Haijiao's angry scolding, "Xiao Zhiguo, do you want to throw your son to death?"

Su Xiaowan looked at Xiao Beiguo, only to see him striding into the house.

Looking at Xiao Zhiguo, he was busy changing the diaper of the child, and his clothes were also in a mess.

Su Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief and found it inexplicably funny.

But it’s better this way. In the past, Xiao Zhiguo didn’t care about anything, and it was Li Xiufang and Liu Xianglian who took care of the children.

He should also know how hard it is to take care of a child.

When Xiao Zhiguo saw them, he spoke awkwardly, "Your sister-in-law just gave birth and was weak. I was not very good at changing the baby's diaper and almost dropped the baby."

"Why are you here? Have you eaten?"

Zhang Haijiao sat up and put on a coat. Because she had just given birth, her face was still very pale.

"After eating, sister-in-law, you should lie down and don't move. You are very weak after giving birth, so you need to keep warm."

Su Xiaowan went forward and covered her with the quilt. She did the same when she gave birth in her previous life.

Xiao Beiguo was taking care of Xixi, but she just lay there and did nothing. Xixi was hungry and had diarrhea, so she cried loudly.

It was the first time that Xiao Beiguo was raising such a young child and he was in a panic. She was so angry that she scolded him, saying that he despised her for giving birth to a girl and that he deliberately made the child cry.

But even so, Xiao Beiguo didn't say a word and took care of her and Xixi without complaint.

Xiao Beiguo walked up to Xiao Zhiguo and took the diaper from him, "Brother, I'll teach you, this is very simple."

As he spoke, he lifted the child's legs higher, stuffed the diaper into the clothes at the back, and then pulled it over and tucked it into the clothes at the belly.

"That's it?" Xiao Zhiguo touched his head, looking confused. Isn't this very simple?

"It looks simple, but there are some skills involved. When you lift a child up, you can't lift him too high, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable."

"You tuck the diaper in the back, and make sure it's flat."

Listening to Xiao Beiguo's detailed account, Su Xiaowan couldn't help but think of her past life.

At that time, whenever he made diapers, Xixi's clothes would get wet. After that, I don't know what he did, but not only did he not know how to do it, he even couldn't hold the baby to pee.

But during those days, Xiao Beiguo had dark circles under his eyes and could hardly sleep well at night.

After Xixi finished drinking milk, she would throw him to him. Sometimes when he made a fuss at night, she would even yell at him.

Xiao Beiguo was so worried that she didn't get enough rest during the confinement period that he often carried Xixi to the dining room to coax her.

Thinking of the past, Su Xiaowan felt very uncomfortable.

"Beiguo, you should teach your elder brother more, so that your elder sister-in-law won't have to teach him everything."

"It's very cold today. My sister-in-law just gave birth. She can't catch a cold, otherwise she will suffer from postpartum illness."

Xiao Beiguo agreed, held the child, and told Xiao Zhiguo how to burp the child after drinking milk.

Tell him how to deal with various possible problems.

Zhang Haijiao looked at the two brothers, one was speaking seriously, the other was listening attentively.

I couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Wan, Bei Guo is really good at raising children. You will be blessed if you marry him."

"That's not the case. When I was in confinement, he couldn't sleep well at night. But there was nothing I could do. After giving birth, a woman needs rest the most. He must have had to work harder."

"Yes, I left the child to your eldest brother to take care of. I have to do everything. I must be exhausted."

Zhang Haijiao didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

"Sister-in-law, you should take good care of yourself. I asked Beiguo to catch two chickens and some eggs. You can ask your elder brother to make wine-making eggs for you."

"Come here if you want. Why are you taking these? Eat more. You have lost a lot of weight since your last surgery."

Su Xiaowan took out a red envelope and stuffed it into her hand. "These eggs and chicken are for you to eat. This is for my nephew. You can't refuse it."

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to him. When he grows up, I'll make sure he remembers that his second aunt gave him money."

Zhang Haijiao didn't think much about it. This is the custom for childbirth here, which is to give a red envelope to the child.

The next morning, Su Xiaowan got up early and found Xiao Beiguo was already preparing the chickens, ducks and meals for today.

It was almost ten o'clock when Gu Nanting and Ji Yuelan came, bringing some fruits and buying milk.

Su Xiaowan led them into the house and invited them to have tea.

"Xiao Wan, your house is so spacious. I don't know how good it would be to live in such an environment."

Ji Yuelan's eyes were full of love for this place, as she had never lived in such an environment before.

"If you like it, come often."

Su Xiaowan handed over tea and took some fruit.

They had just said a few words when Qin Shanshan's voice came from the yard, "Is anyone there?"

Su Xiaowan stood up and Song Nancheng followed her out, only to see Qin Shanshan standing in the yard with a look of disgust on her face, pinching her nose.

"Nancheng, you didn't go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival with your uncle and aunt, but came here to be with this woman. Come back with me soon. I have already told my uncle that we will go back together to celebrate the festival with them."
