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

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, and Su Xiaowan and her mother had already started decorating the house.

Originally I wanted to go out and buy some window decorations, but Su's mother said she wanted to cut them herself. It took her a whole day to make all kinds of shapes and sizes.

While pasting the paper, Su Xiaowan said to her mother, "Mom, the paper-cuts you made are the same as the ones we saw when we were little."

"When I was a kid, my family didn't have the means, so I could only make paper-cuts for the New Year."

Mother Su looked at her, thinking back to when she was little, and couldn't help but sigh, "In fact, when you were little, you were the most sensible and obedient among the children."

"I was too cowardly before. I always thought it was okay to be wronged, but I forgot that no matter what happened, it had to be based on mutual respect."

"Now that I see you and Beiguo are doing well, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart."

Seeing that Su's mother had a lot more white hair over the past year, Su Xiaowan couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Mom, don't worry about us now. Just relax and live your life well."

"We are already in our forties. You have been worrying about us since we were young, and you are still worrying about us now. Do you think you will worry about us for the rest of your life?"

Su's mother smiled and looked at the house which looked even more festive after the window paper-cuts were pasted on it, with relief in her eyes.

"Silly girl, when you get to be my age, you will understand. As a mother, how can I not worry about my children? Even if you are old in the future, as long as I am still here, I will worry about you."

It’s not that Su Xiaowan doesn’t understand, it’s that she just doesn’t understand that everyone has their own life.

"Mom, I know you care about us, but you've worked hard for half your life, it's time to enjoy your life."

"We sisters have all grown up, started our own families, and have our own children. We can live our own lives well."

Mother Su nodded and said, "Mother knows that you are filial. Don't worry, mother will definitely take care of your health."

She knew that Su Xiaowan just felt sorry for her, but after going through so much in her previous life, Su's mother became more determined to take good care of her children, especially Su Xiaowan.

"Xiao Wan said before that she was going for a physical examination. Did you and Bei Guo go for the checkup?"

"We've checked, we're all fine. After the New Year, you and my dad should also go get checked to see if there's anything wrong with your body."

"Okay, I'll go take a look with him then."

Su's mother didn't say anything else. She looked at the window paper-cuts and said, "I used to think that people put up window paper-cuts during the Spring Festival because they didn't have money. Now that we have money, I feel that putting up this is more festive than those."

"Of course. We cut them ourselves. There are all kinds of patterns. They look very nice. Some people even ask people to buy them. You can't buy things like this in big cities."

"Really?" Su's mother was very happy. She thought rich people would not like this thing.

After all, it doesn’t cost much, it just looks good.

"Yes, Yue Lan had someone cut this before, saying that she wanted to put it on her new home."

But Su's mother had not arrived at that time, and it was not known whether she found the person later.

"How about we cut some for her after we're done? This won't take long anyway."

Su's mother also liked Ji Yuelan very much. Every time she came home, she could chat with her and listen to her talk about things in the countryside.

"Then I'll call her after I'm done with the pasting to see if she has any at home. If not, we'll cut some for her."

"Okay, let's post it first."

Xiao Beiguo took Xixi to tape up all the windows outside, and then went into the house, "Mom, Xiaowan, we have taped up all the windows outside, and Dad and the others upstairs should be almost done as well."

"My mother and I are almost done with this, the only thing left is the living room."

Su Xiaowan was about to go over with the window paper-cut, and Xixi stepped forward and said, "Mom, Xixi is here to help you."

"Okay, thanks babe."

Su Xiaowan handed her some of the paper-cuts in her hand and went to the living room with her.

"Mom, this paper-cut is so pretty. Can I learn how to cut it?"

Xixi raised her head with an expectant look on her face.

"Of course you can. Grandma and I will cut it later. I will teach you then."

Xixi clapped her hands happily, "Okay, I will definitely study hard."

"Xiao Wan, aren't these enough?" Xiao Beiguo asked.

"We have enough at home. Yuelan said before that she also wanted to make paper-cuts for windows. I will ask her if she has done it. If not, we will cut some for her."

"Then I'll call her and ask her."

Xiao Beiguo put down what he was holding and turned to make a phone call.

Not long after, he came back again and said with a smile, "Yue Lan said that she will come over soon and she wants to do this too."

"Okay, go get the remaining red paper you cut earlier, and go find some more scissors. Xixi said she wants to learn too."

Xiao Beiguo smiled and said, "That may not be enough. I'll go out and buy a few."

There is a department store nearby that has everything, it's very convenient.

"Okay, go ahead. Mom and I will start cutting once we finish this. It's still a while before noon."

After working for more than half an hour, Su Xiaowan and her mother sat down and began to cut paper-cuts. Xixi looked at the red paper with anticipation and joy on her face.

"Mom, are the beautiful window decorations we put up cut out of this red paper?"

Su Xiaowan touched her little head and said with a smile, "Yes, isn't it magical?"

"Well, I thought this had a model, but I didn't expect it to be cut out by myself, just like the one on TV."

"Does Xixi like it?" Su Xiaowan didn't have much feeling after seeing it so many times, but she didn't expect Xixi to have so many thoughts.

"Yeah, Xixi likes it very much and thinks it's magical."

It was the first time the little girl had seen this, and she looked very curious.

"Grandma will teach you how to cut it later."

Mother Su looked at the little girl with a smile. She would have no regrets if she could teach Xixi all her paper-cutting techniques.

"Okay, Xixi will definitely study hard."

As soon as Xiao Beiguo came back, Ji Yuelan came, and Song Nancheng also came with Enen.

"Yue Lan said her aunt cut paper-cuts for her and she had to come over to learn, so I followed her. Now, the three of us have to come over for lunch again."

"Eat, I'll make you whatever you want." Su Xiaowan said with a smile.

"You can eat anything you want. I like whatever you cook."

Ji Yuelan looked at the red paper that Su's mother had prepared, and then said, "Aunt, you have to teach me how to cut it this time, and I will cut it myself next year."

"Okay, this is easy. It's hard for you to have these ideas. Many people don't like to do this now."

As Su's mother spoke, she explained her method to them.

In less than two hours, several people had finished cutting the paper-cuts. Looking at the various kinds of paper-cuts, Xixi was extremely happy.

The whole family was having lunch and chatting about daily life, they were so happy. Su Xiaowan and Ji Yuelan talked about their plans for the new year.

Song Nancheng said, "Xiao Wan, Yue Lan plans to give birth after the new year. I have already found someone in the design department. You can spend more time with the child in the future."
