After staying at the Su's house for two nights, Su Xiaowan and Xiao Beiguo left. Before returning to Tianjin, they went back home.

They hadn't been back for a long time. Looking at everything in the house, the two smiled at each other. With Su Zhaodi coming to clean the house frequently, it seemed that there had not been any major changes in the house.

The two stayed together for a while and then went to Zhang Haijiao's place. It had been two years since they left home, and they had only been in contact by phone during that time.

When we arrived at Zhang Haijiao's home, she was chopping firewood in the yard. A child around two years old was sitting next to her, playing.

When she saw them coming in, she hurriedly shouted, "Mom, someone is coming."

The little guy didn't know Su Xiaowan and the others, and just felt very unfamiliar, so he subconsciously hid behind Zhang Haijiao.

Zhang Haijiao turned around and saw Su Xiaowan and Xiao Beiguo, and couldn't hide her joy, "Xiaowan, Beiguo, when did you come back?"

"Sister-in-law, we came back two days ago. My sister-in-law gave birth to a son and it's been a month. We came back to drink."

Zhang Haijiao said hurriedly, "That's good news. You must have worked hard to come back from so far away. Come in and sit down. Your eldest brother has gone out."

Then he shouted into the house, "Goudan, go find your father! Your uncle and aunt are back."

Seeing Su Xiaowan and Xiao Beiguo whom they hadn't seen for a long time, Goudan and Erdan rushed out.

With a look of joy and shock, he said, "Uncle, Aunt, you are back."

Seeing that the names Goudan and Erdan were almost as tall as Su Xiaowan, Xiao Beiguo could not hide his joy.

Patting the two young men who came forward, he said, "You came back two days ago. I haven't seen you for two years. You have grown into young men."

"It's Aunt Haijiao who takes good care of us." Goudan praised sincerely.

"You guys now understand your aunt Hai Jiao's hard work, and it's worth it for her to teach you so hard."

Su Xiaowan was happy for the two children from the bottom of her heart. This life would never be like the previous one.

Fortunately, they met someone like Zhang Haijiao in this life, who prevented them from repeating the tragic fate of their previous life.

"Second Aunt, don't worry. We will be filial to Aunt Haijiao. We are all studying hard now. When we grow up and make money, we will build a big house for Aunt Haijiao to live in."

Goudan said this with great anticipation, his eyes full of light.

"Okay, then you have to work hard, and you will definitely succeed."

Zhang Haijiao took off her apron and urged, "Go find your father first, and we'll talk slowly when you come back."

"Xiao Wan, Beiguo, go into the house first."

Several people entered the house, and Zhang Haijiao poured some water for them before asking, "Why didn't you bring the child back?"

"It took too long to go back and forth. Xixi still has to go to school, and the two little ones are too young, so we didn't bring them back. We will be back during the Chinese New Year, and then we will bring them to you to see."

Zhang Haijiao hummed, looking a little embarrassed, "I didn't buy anything to eat at home, so I have nothing to treat you."

Although their lives were better than before, the children were older and they were the only two earning money at home, so they had to save money, so she was very frugal.

"Sister-in-law, we are family, don't say these things."

Seeing Zhang Haijiao like this, Su Xiaowan couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, didn't you go to Zhaodi's place to work with Sister Ting and the others?"

She used to work with Sister Ting, and her monthly salary was about the same as Sister Ting's.

"Yes, it's not that I have nothing to do today, it's my turn to rest. Zhaodi said that we can rest for two days every month, and everyone can take turns."

Su Xiaowan was a little surprised, but she agreed with it. After all, she was busy every day and was really tired.

"That's good. Take your time. Life will get better."

Zhang Haijiao knew what she was worried about, so she took her hand and said, "Xiao Wan, don't worry about us. Life is much better now than before. Your eldest brother is diligent now, and the children are obedient."

"I never dared to imagine the life I am living now. I am already very happy and satisfied."

I chose to marry Xiao Zhiguo before because I wanted to have a man and my child would have a father.

"Sister-in-law, if you have any problem, just ask us. We will definitely help if we can. It's not easy for you either."

Although Zhang Haijiao did not help Su Xiaowan in any way, she admired her very much and really regarded her as her sister-in-law.

"What can happen to us? Now that our children have grown up and our family conditions are better, we are working together and our lives are getting better slowly."

Zhang Haijiao didn't say much, but just said, "As for you guys, you should be more careful when you are outside, and come back when you have time."

"If you come back for the New Year, please call me in advance. I have raised a few pigs this year. I will slaughter them for the New Year when you come back."

"Okay, sister-in-law, we will definitely call you first when we get back."

Zhang Haijiao agreed repeatedly, "Is Dad in good health? He is not in good health. You two are worried about him."

"He is in good health. I took him for a physical checkup this year. His health has improved a lot in the past two years."

"That's good. He has finally come to an end after all the hardships. He will enjoy a peaceful life with you guys."

"We didn't let him enjoy life. He had to run around with me and Beiguo and help take care of the children. It was hard work for him."

Su Xiaowan actually felt guilty towards Old Man Xiao.

"Dad won't mind. He will definitely be happy to see you getting better."

In less than half an hour, Xiao Zhiguo came back. Seeing them, he shouted excitedly, "Beiguo, Xiaowan."

"Big brother."

"You didn't even tell me you were coming so I could ask your sister-in-law to buy some food."

Xiao Zhiguo was very happy when he saw Xiao Beiguo. He went forward and wanted to hug him, but when he saw his own body, he felt embarrassed and wanted to put his hand down.

Xiao Beiguo walked up to him and hugged him, "Brother."

"Hey, I'm glad you're back."

The two brothers didn't say much, and it seemed that they had let go of everything that happened in the past.

"You guys sit down, I'll go cook."

Zhang Haijiao stood up, and Su Xiaowan said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go help you."

"No, just sit down. Goudan and Erdan will help you. It's rare for you to come back, so chat with your big brother."

Su Xiaowan wanted to say something, but Zhang Haijiao had already gone out, so she sat down and chatted with Xiao Zhiguo.

After having lunch here, the two didn’t stay too long and went to Su Ting’s place.

Su Ting was very happy to see Su Xiaowan. They hugged each other for a while and talked about what happened in the past two years.

It was past four o'clock before Su Xiaowan reluctantly said goodbye to her.

The two returned to the city, boarded a plane, and arrived back in Jinshi. It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

When I got home, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Su Xiaowan walked into the house and looked at the home she hadn't returned to for a few days. At this moment, her heart was filled with happiness.

"I'm going to go check on Xixi and the two kids. You go take a shower first."

Although she was very tired, Su Xiaowan really wanted to see her children. She hadn't seen them for a few days and missed them so much.

Xiao Beiguo didn't say much. He watched her enter the children's room and then entered the bedroom.

Looking at Xixi who was sleeping soundly, Su Xiaowan put her hands, which were outside, back into the quilt, kissed her forehead, and her heart seemed to be filled.

Xixi was half asleep. She opened her eyes and murmured softly, "Mom, you're back."

"Well, mom is back, go to sleep."

Su Xiaowan touched her little face, thinking that the little girl might be missing her.

After staying for a long while, she got up and went to the baby room, where the aunt took the two children to sleep.

The two little ones slept in their own beds, and their aunt slept on the bed opposite.

Hearing the noise, she woke up quickly. Su Xiaowan said, "It's me, Sister Zhang. You go to sleep. I'll take care of the child."

"You're back so late, do you want me to make some midnight snack?"

"No, go to sleep. I'll take a shower and go to bed soon."

Su Xiaowan looked at the two little ones who were sleeping soundly. She didn't know if they were dreaming about anything, but she grinned and laughed out loud.

She couldn't help but laugh too, and after watching for a long while, she was reluctant to get up.

As soon as I came out, I saw Xiao Beiguo coming out of the room, "I'll go cook two bowls of noodles. You haven't eaten anything tonight. Eat something before going to sleep."

"Okay, then cook some. It's getting late." Su Xiaowan was really hungry.

"Well, go take a shower. I've found your clothes. I'll bring them up in a minute."

"No, I'll take a shower and go downstairs to eat."

Su Xiaowan doesn't like eating in the room because it feels smelly.

"Okay, then come down when you're done."

Xiao Beiguo went downstairs and waited for him to finish cooking the noodles. Su Xiaowan also came down. Smelling the fragrant noodles, she quickly sat down.

He took the chopsticks and started eating.

"I found that I feel more comfortable and at ease back home. I don't know if it's because of my children or because I've been in Jinshi for too long, but I actually like my current life."

Su Xiaowan felt a little emotional. After staying here for the past two years, she has become accustomed to this pace of life.

"That's even better. We will be in Jinshi most of our lives. We can only go back to our hometown when our children grow up, start their own families, take over the company, and we retire."

Xiao Beiguo actually wanted to return to the countryside, after all, that was where he grew up.

"That's not the case. If I really have to be separated from the children, I really can't bear it. When we have time in the future, we will go back to visit our parents more often."

Su Xiaowan didn't want to have any regrets, but she also knew that she had no choice in many things.

"Okay, as long as you want to go back, I will accompany you."

Xiao Beiguo looked at her and said distressedly, "Xiao Wan, you have also been wronged by following me."

He knew that Su Xiaowan actually wanted to spend more time with her mother, and she really missed her mother.

"Why say all this? These are our own choices. Mom is living a good life now, and Zigui is sensible. I feel relieved that she is in her hometown."

Su Xiaowan held his hand and said very seriously, "Beiguo, I have never regretted marrying you. No matter where we are, as long as our family is together, I feel very happy."

"Well, our family will always be together."

Xiao Beiguo held her hand. This was the woman he loved most in his life.

The next morning, when Xixi woke up, she saw Xiao Beiguo reading a financial newspaper in the living room with his eyes wide open.

"Dad, when did you come back? Where's my mom?"

As the little girl spoke, she ran upstairs.

Looking at the little girl like this, Xiao Beiguo put down the financial newspaper, stood up and followed her, smiling dotingly and helplessly.

No matter what time, the children think of Su Xiaowan the most.
