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

Su Xiaowan smiled softly and put Xixi down. "Go and do your thing. If I can't do it, I'll ask Sister Ting for help."

"Okay, I'm not at home, so don't take too many to sell. It's a bit heavy to carry." Xiao Beiguo reminded.

Seeing that Su Xiaowan didn't ask him how long he had been out or what he was busy with, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The past few days of getting along made him feel like he really had a home, but at this moment he felt like it was just an illusion.

He once again began to doubt Su Xiaowan's sudden change, but he didn't know what to say.

He just said, "Okay, I'll go pack my clothes and go out in a while."

"It's time for lunch. Eat before you go. You'll have to eat on the way anyway."

Su Xiaowan got up and went to the kitchen. When she saw Zhang Zhiwei, she smiled and said, "Zhiwei, you guys should have lunch first. I'll go cook now."

"Oh, ok sister-in-law."

Zhang Zhiwei touched his head. He had noticed the changes in Su Xiaowan over the past few days.

He thought to himself, could it be that he was woken up by my scolding?

He felt a little embarrassed now.

Seeing that Xiao Beiguo didn't come out, he walked into the house.

"Brother Xiao, my sister-in-law asked us to have lunch before leaving."

"Eat, there's no rush." Xiao Beiguo packed his clothes and shoes for going out in a depressed mood.

Zhang Zhiwei came up to him and said, "Brother Xiao, why do I feel like my sister-in-law seems to have changed recently?"

Glancing at him, Xiao Beiguo said nothing, only asking, "How long will it take over there?"

"Probably about half a month, not sure yet, but the price is good this time."

Xiao Beiguo nodded, packed up the things, and went to the kitchen to help.

After lunch, they picked up their bags and went out. Although Xixi was reluctant to leave, she was not so reluctant because Su Xiaowan had been nice to her these days.

When Xiao Beiguo was away, Su Xiaowan was still busy from dawn to dusk. One day, she went to the market to sell jelly and met a man in his forties squatting there waiting.

Seeing her coming, he hurriedly said, "Sister, give me ten pieces of jelly."

It was the first time that Su Xiaowan saw someone buying so many, so she asked, "Brother, this thing can't be kept for too long in the refrigerator."

In this day and age, families with better conditions also have refrigerators. This man is dressed very decently and it is obvious at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.

The man said helplessly, "This can only last for two days. My 70-year-old mother has no appetite recently and can't eat much. This is enough for her to eat."

Su Xiaowan thought that this man was really filial, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, the old man can't eat. I guess it's because the weather is too hot. Maybe if you give him something appetizer, his appetite will be better."

"My wife does the same thing. The old man doesn't eat and has become thinner these days. It's so worrying."

As the man spoke, he sighed helplessly again, paid the money and left with the jelly.

Su Xiaowan didn't think much about it. She was busy all the time. Xixi stood beside her and helped pass the bowl from time to time.

It was already past twelve o'clock when the mother and daughter returned home after selling all these things. Su Xiaowan made two bowls of noodles for them.

After lunch, Xixi fell asleep, and Su Xiaowan cleaned up the things and settled the money.

During these days, she made a total of sixty-seven dollars.

She felt very happy, and together with the money Xiao Beiguo gave her, the total amount was two hundred and fifty yuan.

She put it away carefully, prepared to take a nap, and go pick some grass jelly in the afternoon.

"Xiao Wan."

Su Ting's voice came from outside, and soon she arrived at the door.

"Sister Ting, why are you here?"

Su Xiaowan pulled a chair for Su Ting to sit on.

"I've been busy at home these past two days. I heard that Beiguo went out to work, and I thought it would be inconvenient for you to take Xixi with you when you go out to sell jelly. So I came to talk to you. When you go out to work, send Xixi to me. I'll take care of her for you, and you don't have to be so tired."

"You have so many things going on at home, this won't work."

"I'm your sister, so I'll help you if I can. If you do your best, when you have money in the future, you can build a house. I'll be happy to see you."

The man Su Ting married was pretty good. They built a house in the second year after their marriage and lived a pretty good life in the village.

"Then listen to Sister Ting. If I go to sell jelly, I'll send her to your place."

"You are going to go to the mountains to pick some jelly grass this afternoon. I'll take Xixi with me. It's hot this day, and the girl will get sunburned if she goes with you. You can go by yourself, and I'll bring it to you in the evening."

Su Xiaowan was deeply moved. A person who was not related to her by blood could still feel sorry for Xixi, but Liu Xianglian was still thinking about asking for money.

She thought to herself that when she made money, she would definitely repay Su Ting well.

After Xixi woke up, Su Ting took her to her home. Su Xiaowan carried the backpack and the bag and went up the mountain.

Su Xiaowan had picked a lot of agar-agar grass on the mountain, so she could only look for it elsewhere.

She went to the river next to a field, where there were a lot of apples. It took her more than an hour to fill the basket.

When she was about to leave, she saw a lot of Houttuynia cordata by the river, with very fresh leaves.

She couldn't help but think of the people in the same ward with her when she was hospitalized in her previous life. Her children often made her some cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata to go with her meals.

At that time, the doctor also said that this thing is very good, has anti-inflammatory effects, and eating it regularly will have certain benefits.

Su Xiaowan thought about what the middle-aged man said today. The weather is hot, and not only the elderly have no appetite, but adults too.

She thought of making some cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata, maybe she could sell it for some money.

In a short while, she had picked up a small half of the Houttuynia cordata around and tied it up with a straw rope.

This bag weighs more than ten pounds, so it is a lot to make.

It was almost six o'clock when Su Xiaowan returned home with a lot of bags. She had just washed her face when Su Ting brought Xixi back.

Looking at the things piled in the yard, he asked in surprise, "Xiao Wan, are you feeding this Houttuynia cordata to the pigs?"

"No, Sister Ting, I took it to sell. It's very appetizing when mixed cold. I'll make it later, you can try it."

Su Ting waved her hand, "Come another day. Xixi was clamoring to go home, so I thought of bringing her back to see if you've returned. Look, there's dinner cooking in the pot."

"Okay, I won't keep you." Su Xiaowan was not polite either.

For dinner, she made some rice and fried some beans and minced meat, and Xixi ate a lot.

After a busy day, Su Xiaowan didn't do anything in the evening. She took a shower and stayed with Xixi in the room.

She took the white paper she had bought earlier, wrote a big word on it, and taught Xixi to read it, "Xixi, read with mommy, big."

Xixi read "da" in a soft voice.

"Mom, is this the size of the sun?"

"Yes, mother will teach Xixi to read at night from now on, okay?" In this life, Su Xiaowan not only has to teach Xixi well, but also wants her to go out and not be like in her previous life.

She didn't want to study before she even finished junior high school and became a lazy girl.

Xixi doesn’t understand the meaning of learning to read, but she likes her mother to accompany her.

She nodded, "Okay, Mom will teach Xixi. I will study hard and make money like Mom when I grow up."

Su Xiaowan was amused by her words. Every time customers who bought jelly asked her, she would ask, "How can you make money if you can't even read?"

"Okay, Mom will wait for Xixi to grow up and earn money to buy delicious food for Mom."

Holding the little girl in her arms, Su Xiaowan felt a mixture of emotions.
