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 smiled and said, "These three children are becoming more and more sensible now. No matter what it is, they are thinking about Xiao Wan. It's really worth loving them."

"That's all thanks to my father-in-law's good teaching. It's hard for you to follow Xiaowan to this unfamiliar place in the north. If it weren't for your help, they would have to worry about the child."

Although Su's mother was somewhat dissatisfied with what the Xiao family had done in the past, she also knew that Old Man Xiao was actually not an easy person.

As a mother, she has seen everything that Xiao Beiguo and the others have done in the past two years.

"Mother-in-law, you blamed me before. If I hadn't been incompetent, the children wouldn't have suffered. Now this is all I can do."

Old man Xiao felt very guilty whenever he thought back to the past. If Su Xiaowan had not forgiven him, he didn't know how miserable his later years would have been.

"Dad, you've helped me and Beiguo a lot. Really, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how hard it would be."

Su Xiaowan knew that the old man was actually blaming himself, but everyone’s cognition and insights were different.

She couldn't force Old Man Xiao to do things beyond their abilities for her and Xiao Beiguo.

After all, his ability is limited. If he can do these things within his ability, she will be satisfied.

Su's mother also said, "Father-in-law, you have done a great job. We have lived in the countryside for most of our lives. It is not easy for us to come to the city."

"It's really great that you not only came with them, but also stayed with the child for such a long time."

"Xiaowan's children are good. She doesn't despise me as an old man, and the children don't despise me as an uneducated old man either."

Listening to Old Man Xiao's self-deprecating words, Su Xiaowan only felt sad. The old man was actually very sad.

She comforted him, "Dad, this is your home. It's your own home. No one can despise anyone. You just need to take good care of yourself so that you can take good care of the children for me and Beiguo."

Only if he has something to do, will Old Man Xiao feel that he is living a comfortable life and that he is not a useless person here.

Old Man Xiao nodded with a sob, "Dad knows, as long as I can help you, Dad will definitely stay here."

Xiao Beiguo and Su's father came down at the right time. Seeing that the faces of the few people were a little strange, they stepped forward and said, "Dad said he was a little bored. Do you want to play poker?"

Nowadays, during the Chinese New Year, in the countryside, everyone sits together as a family and plays poker to stay up until the New Year.

"Xiao Wan, go and have fun. I'll take care of the kids. You guys rarely get a rest all year long. It would be good for you to relax."

Su's mother knew that she liked to play this.

"Okay, I'll give you all the money I win later."

Su Xiaowan actually wanted to play. When she was a child, during the New Year, she always watched people in the village play and could win a few cents in a night.

After she grew up and married Xiao Beiguo, she couldn't fit into that circle of people and stopped playing.

"Okay, Mom will wait." Su's mother was very happy.

Xiao Beiguo handed the prepared red envelopes to several children, and the little ones gave the red envelopes to Su Xiaowan.

He didn't care and took out three big red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Su's father, Old Man Xiao, and Su's mother respectively.

When he gave it to Su's mother, he also specifically said, "Mother, thank you very much for marrying Xiaowan to me. I wish you all the best."

Mother Su took his red envelope with a smile, "You kid, this should be the red envelope we give you."

"Mom, you gave it to us when we were little. Now we have grown up, it's our turn to give it to you. Just keep it."

Su Xiaowan originally planned to give it to her mother on New Year's Day, but she didn't expect Xiao Beiguo to give it to her before her.

"Mom, Xiaowan and I will give you New Year's money every year from now on. As long as you are healthy and well, it will be the best blessing for us."

Xiao Beiguo was very grateful to Su's mother. She had a great influence on him, and it was from Su's mother that he felt the love of a mother.

"Okay, Mom will keep it. Every year from now on, Mom will be waiting for you to give me New Year's money."

The family was happily playing cards, and Su's mother was playing hide-and-seek with her children in the living room.

Su Xiaowan looked at them from time to time, and seeing them having so much fun, she felt extremely happy in her heart.

Time passed quickly in the blink of an eye, and the New Year was over in the blink of an eye. Su's father and mother were about to go back.

Su Xiaowan saw the two of them off to the train. Seeing how reluctant they were, she went forward and hugged her mother.

"Mom, please take care of yourself at home. Call me if you miss me."

After this separation, it will be almost a year before we meet again.

Su Xiaowan was reluctant but had no choice.

This life is always up and down.

"Okay, you and Beiguo should be well, and come back to visit when you have time."

As the separation was approaching, Su's mother was very reluctant to let her go. She stroked Su Xiaowan's face and choked with sobs.

"Xiao Wan, take care of yourself and don't be too tired."

"I will, mom. Get on the plane quickly and call us when you get home."

Even though Xiao Beiguo had already made all the arrangements, Su Xiaowan still gave him instructions with concern.

"Okay, Mom knows everything, let's go back quickly." Su's mother followed the team into the boarding gate, looking back every few steps, her eyes filled with tears.

Su Xiaowan waved at her, her eyes red, feeling reluctant and helpless.

As she grew older, she spent less and less time with her parents. Only then did she realize that growing up was actually the worst thing.

"Xiao Wan, go back. This year we will go back earlier to celebrate the New Year and stay at home for a few more days."

Xiao Beiguo knew that she was reluctant to leave Su's mother.

"Well, I'm going back to celebrate the New Year this year."

But a year is so long, and the time to go back is so short. After all, life is about growing in constant separation.

As the days passed, Nan Sicheng's wedding date arrived. May Day was a good day, and all the upper-class people in Jinshi attended the wedding.

Su Xiaowan wore a beige dress and attended the event with Xiao Beiguo.

Seeing Nan Sicheng welcoming guests, he was wearing a gray suit with a black shirt underneath.

Compared to his past, he looks more calm and steady today.

When Nan Sicheng saw her, he couldn't hide his joy on his face, and strode forward and said, "Xiao Wan, the Northern Country welcomes you."

"Congratulations, and happy wedding."

Qiao Xiyue calmly held Nan Sicheng's arm with a proper smile on her face, "Thank you."

"This is a wedding gift for you." Su Xiaowan took the initiative to hand the gift to Qiao Xiyue.

Nan Sicheng took it for her, "Thank you, go in first, I have arranged everything."

"Okay, let's go in first."

Su Xiaowan didn't stay long. There were a lot of people coming, and Nan Sicheng didn't have much time to greet them.

After entering, she saw Ji Yuelan and Song Nancheng sitting at the table in front.

She walked over, looked at Ji Yuelan's almost six-month-old belly, and said with a smile, "Your belly is bigger than when I was pregnant with two little ones."

"That's not the case. These two little thieves are really troublesome. Look, I've gained weight recently."
