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

The next morning, Su Xiaowan got up early. Xixi had already had winter vacation. The weather was very cold today and it was raining outside.

Auntie has already bought all the vegetables for today, and Xiao Beiguo is preparing them now.

Su Xiaowan braided Xixi's hair and said, "Xixi, play with your brother and sister for a while. Mom and Dad are going to cook. Aunt Yuelan and Uncle Song will come to our house for lunch at noon."

"Got it, Mom. I'll go brush my teeth in a bit. You and Dad can do your own things. When my brother and sister wake up, I'll make them some milk powder and play with them."

Su Xiaowan looked at the little girl. She would be almost five years old after the Chinese New Year. In another year, Xixi would start elementary school.

Now she spends most of her time accompanying her and studying with her. If she doesn't know something, Xixi can explain it to her.

Every time Su Xiaowan saw Xixi, the guilt and self-blame hidden deep in her heart never completely disappeared.

"Xixi is becoming more and more like a big sister now. She knows how to help mom and dad do so many things."

"Mom, I'm not helping you, but because I love my brothers and sisters, and I love you and dad, so I want to help you share the burden."

The little girl spoke very seriously, her little face full of love for Su Xiaowan.

Su Xiaowan kissed her cheek, feeling satisfied and happy, "Thank you, baby, you've worked hard."

"Xixi doesn't feel it's hard. I feel very happy taking care of my younger brothers and sisters because they love me very much."

Listening to the little girl's adult tone, Su Xiaowan pinched her chubby cheeks.

"Okay, Xixi is great, go brush your teeth and wash your face, mom is going to do some work."

The little girl got up and went to wash.

Su Xiaowan watched her holding the small stool and stepping on it. Her skillful movements made her eyes warm again.

Xiao Beiguo came out, looked at her like this, held her in his arms and said, "Why are you still crying? Xixi has grown up, which is a good thing. After all, we can't accompany them forever. We have to let them grow up independently."

"Yes, I know. Seeing her change little by little to what she is now, I feel very relieved."

Xiao Beiguo wiped the tears from her eyes and coaxed her, "Okay, don't cry. In a few years, you will find that the children will become better and better."

Since childhood, Xiao Beiguo has liked Xixi very much. He knows that she is very smart and considerate of her parents.

He remembered that when she was less than two years old, he came back from outside one day and Su Xiaowan was sleeping on the kang. She was hungry but didn't want to wake Su Xiaowan up.

When she saw him come back, she ran over and asked for a hug and food.

At that time, he felt nothing but heartache. Now thinking about it, Xixi at that time knew how to feel sorry for them.

"I know, I just can't help feeling uncomfortable. She's still so young."

Su Xiaowan sniffed, her emotions somewhat out of control.

"I know, it's something everyone has to go through, you have to believe in the kids, they can do well, and try to let go slowly."

Su Xiaowan nodded. Even though she knew it, she still couldn't control herself most of the time.

"I've prepared the food. You can make the braised pork elbow. How do you want to cook the chicken soup?"

Xiao Beiguo knew that Su Xiaowan wanted to cook a meal for everyone, so he asked for her opinion first.

"Let me do it. You can clean the fish. I want to make boiled fish fillets. Yue Lan is pregnant, so she will definitely want to eat something appetizing."

Su Xiaowan's mood improved a little. She got up from Xiao Beiguo's arms, picked up her apron, put it on, and went into the kitchen with him.

The kitchen is very big. Auntie is busy preparing lunch, but she also does not forget to chat with Su Xiaowan.

Xiao Beiguo was processing the fish and listening to her and her aunt chatting, his face filled with satisfaction and happiness.

In the past, he was always worried that Su Xiaowan would change because of her living environment after coming to Jinshi.

Now it seems that the reason why people change because of the environment is that they already had the idea in their hearts before, but there was no right opportunity at that time.

But for Su Xiaowan, what she wanted was always their family and what she needed was him.

Around ten o'clock, Ji Yuelan and Song Nancheng came with Enen. The children, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, started playing happily when they met.

Ji Yuelan went straight into the kitchen, looked at Su Xiaowan busying herself, and said, "Xiaowan, I love you so much."

Looking at the marinated fish, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "You don't know how much I want to eat this sour and spicy appetizer."

"If you like it, eat more later. If what Nancheng brother usually cooks doesn't suit your taste, just tell me and I'll make it for you and have Beiguo send it over."

Su Xiaowan knows too well the feeling of wanting to eat but not being able to when you are pregnant.

"Then I'll be welcome. I'll call you when I want to eat something."

Su Xiaowan smiled and tasted the soup, "If you're polite to me, you won't have anything to eat."

"Why don't you go have some chicken soup first? It's been stewed for more than two hours and it's very rich. Eat some to fill your stomach."

Ji Yuelan was moved and hugged her, praising her continuously, "Xiao Wan, you really understand me. I barely ate two bites of breakfast, and now I'm starving again."

"I want two big bowls."

Su Xiaowan was amused. "Okay, this pot is all stewed for you. It's a whole chicken. Eat more. This is a free-range chicken raised in the countryside. It tastes even more delicious."

"I have to. I feel like I can eat a whole cow. I don't know why, but I always feel hungry and can't eat enough. I'm picky."

Su Xiaowan looked at her and couldn't help but say, "Are you pregnant with twins? When I was pregnant with Luo Luo and Chen Chen, I wanted to eat more."

"No way? The hospital didn't tell me it was twins when I went there."

Ji Yuelan touched her flat belly and felt nothing at all.

"Some of them may take more than a month to be found out, so we'll see then."

Su Xiaowan served the chicken soup and asked Xiao Beiguo to bring it to the dining room.

While eating, Xixi looked at the large table of people and clapped her hands, saying, "I'm so happy today. I can eat with Aunt Yuelan again. Next year, we will have two more brothers and sisters."

Suddenly, everyone looked towards Xixi, their eyes widened.

Ji Yuelan excitedly grabbed Xixi's hand and said, "Xixi baby, are the brothers and sisters you are talking about Luoluo and Chenchen?"

"No, it's the brother or sister in my aunt's belly, just like my mother."

Ji Yuelan looked at Su Xiaowan, shock and joy in her eyes.

"Xiao Wan, it looks like this belly is most likely filled with twins. When I was pregnant with En En, Xixi said the same thing."

"It's hard to say. She said the same thing when I was pregnant with two little ones. It looks like your dream of having a daughter is about to come true."

Su Xiaowan was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
