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

Su Xiaowan opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Ji Yuelan, who was standing by, looked distressed and sad. She took her hand and comforted her, "Xiao Wan, don't be too sad. Everyone has to come to this point."

Su's mother's health was not very good to begin with, and it was good that she was able to leave quietly at this age. At least she did not suffer.

"How...how could this happen?" Su Xiaowan still found it hard to accept. She had just talked to her mother on the phone not long ago.

When she called, she also told her to bring the children back to see her during the Chinese New Year.

Su Xiaowan's emotions completely broke down. She opened her mouth several times to say something, but couldn't say anything.

"Xiao Wan, don't be like this. If you want to cry, just cry. I have arranged everything. We will take a plane back now. I have asked the driver to pick up the child."

Xiao Beiguo held her tightly in his arms to comfort her. The sudden death of Su's mother was a great blow to her.

"I want to go home and see my mother." Su Xiaowan's emotions were completely out of control and her body couldn't stop shaking.

Seeing her like this, Ji Yuelan was very worried and asked, "Beiguo, are the children going directly to the airport to meet you?"

"Well, I've already arranged a flight, I'll be leaving right now."

"Then I'll go with you. I'm worried about Xiaowan's condition. I'll take you to the airport and come back after I meet up with Xixi."

Xiao Beiguo thanked him and said to Su Xiaowan, "Xiaowan, let's get in the car and go to the airport first."

Su Xiaowan was carried into the car. Worried that she might be emotionally unstable, Ji Yuelan was asked to sit with her in the back seat before rushing to the airport.

When we got there, Xixi, Luoluo and Chenchen were already waiting there.

Seeing Su Xiaowan being helped out of the car by Ji Yuelan, the three people hurried forward and asked, "Mom, are you okay?"

Xiao Beiguo looked at Su Xiaowan's red and swollen eyes, feeling distressed but helpless, as he had to go through this step eventually.

"Xiao Wan, let's get on the plane first. We'll be home in three hours at most. I've also made arrangements for Zhi Wei."

"Aunt Yuelan, thank you for accompanying my mother. We will get on the plane first." Xixi said to Ji Yuelan.

"Take good care of your mother, and call your aunt when you get there."

Xixi supported Su Xiaowan, "Okay Aunt Yuelan, you go back too, we are getting on the plane."

After watching Xixi helping Su Xiaowan walk towards the VIP passage, Ji Yuelan turned around and left.

Xiao Beiguo made a phone call in advance and arranged everything, and was just waiting to get on the plane and leave.

As soon as they got on the plane, the flight attendant asked them questions and after confirming that there were no problems, the plane took off.

Su Xiaowan was leaning on Xixi's shoulder, crying silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Beiguo felt very distressed and took her hand to comfort her, "Xiao Wan, don't be sad. I think the reason why mother left so quietly is that she didn't have any worries. How can she leave peacefully with you like this?"

Su Xiaowan then looked up at him and choked up, "Beiguo, I really didn't expect that mother would leave so suddenly. I am so sad and upset."

The woman who once risked everything for her left just like that, leaving her forever.

"I know that every one of us will reach this day. This is not the end, but another way of our rebirth."

Su Xiaowan knew it too, so she leaned into his arms and cried, "Beiguo, please don't walk in front of me in the future, okay?"

She didn't want to experience such separation of life and death again.

"Okay, I will always be with you. Even when that day comes, I will let you walk ahead."

When the plane landed, Xiao Beiguo took them out of the airport, and Zhiwei was already waiting.

He is already in his forties and looks a little older, but he is very energetic.

He stepped forward and said, "Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, the car is over there, let's go there first, Zigui has already made arrangements."

Xiao Beiguo patted Zhang Zhiwei on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

"Why are you talking about this? Let's get in the car first. Zhaodi has already gone there with the child."

Zhang Zhiwei and a few others got into a car not far away. Along the way, the atmosphere was very solemn.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw from afar that the Su family's house was covered with white silk, and crying sounds could be heard from afar.

Su Xiaowan had just calmed down, but when she heard the crying, her eyes instantly turned red and tears couldn't stop falling.

Xixi couldn't help but tear up. This was her grandmother who had loved her since she was a child, but she passed away before she could show her filial piety.

She didn't dare to let herself cry, and comforted Su Xiaowan, "Mom, don't be too sad, let grandma go well."

"She loves you the most. Seeing you like this, how can she die peacefully?"

"Yes, mom. Grandma passed away so peacefully. She must have no regrets. Let's not let her pass away in uneasiness."

It was the first time that Lolo saw Su Xiaowan so emotionally broken, and she was very worried.

The car stopped at the door, and Su Zigui, his wife and several children, dressed in mourning, knelt at the door to greet them.

Su Xiaowan knelt down and cried out in pain, "Mom, I'm back."

At this moment, she could no longer control her emotions and she hugged Su Zigui and cried heart-wrenchingly.

But even so, Su's mother could no longer see her and comfort her as before.

Su's mother's funeral lasted for three days. During this period, Su Xiaowan spoke very little. It was not until the day of Su's mother's funeral that she put her childhood doll into her coffin.

Xiao Beiguo looked at her like this and wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start. He knew that this was Su Xiaowan's way of accompanying her mother.

On the day of the burial, the weather was very good and sunny, just like every time Su Xiaowan returned home, her mother would greet her with a smile.

After returning home, Su Xiaowan hid in her room, staring blankly at the sweater her mother had knitted for her when she was a child.

Xiao Beiguo silently accompanied her by her side.

After staying at home for three days, Su Xiaowan told Su Zigui that they were going back to Jinshi.

On the day they returned, Su Zigui prepared a lot of chicken and duck meat and packed them for them to take back.

When leaving, Su Zigui hugged Su Xiaowan and comforted her, "Sister, come back if you miss home. The door of this home is always open for you."

Su Xiaowan hummed, "Take care of yourself."

With a heavy heart, Su Xiaowan looked at the place where she grew up again.

From now on, there would no longer be that loving smile to welcome her home, and she no longer had a mother.

Xiao Beiguo held her hand tightly and said softly, "Xiao Wan, let's go."

He knew she was reluctant, but that was life, and this day would come eventually.

After returning to Jinshi, Su Xiaowan was in a depressed mood for a long time, until Xixi brought her boyfriend home, and then her mood began to improve.

At noon that day, Xiao Beiguo was having lunch with Su Xiaowan as usual, when the phone suddenly rang.

Seeing Xixi's phone call, Xiao Beiguo did not forget to say to Su Xiaowan, "Xixi called, do you want to answer? It's probably for you."

Su Xiaowan left her cell phone in the room, and she spent most of her time reading in the room.

"You answer it and ask her if anything happened." Su Xiaowan's tone was the same as before, but Rongze felt that she was listless.

Xiao Beiguo pressed the answer button, and Xixi's voice came, "Dad, are you with Mom?"

"Well, we are eating. Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten. I want to bring someone for you to meet. Is it convenient in the afternoon?" Xixi's voice was a little nervous.

"Okay, bring it over. Your mother and I will be waiting at home."

Xiao Beiguo had guessed it to some extent, as he had heard Song Nancheng say it before. Although Xixi had a very mature and steady personality, she was also very cautious in relationships, just like him.

This boy is her college classmate. He is a very capable executive in a company.

"Thank you, Dad. Then tell my mom and we'll be home around two o'clock."

"No rush, take your time, we'll be home this afternoon."

Xiao Beiguo gave some instructions before hanging up the phone, and then said to Su Xiaowan, "Xixi said she brought a friend over, I guess it's her boyfriend."

"Well, Xixi isn't little anymore. When we were her age, she was already over three years old."

Although Su Xiaowan would not urge her children to get married like other parents, she also hoped that Xixi could have a good home instead of spending all day working.

"Xiao Wan, when the children have their own families, why don't we go back to the countryside? Xixi can manage the company well with the children. Nancheng and I have basically let go now."

As she grew older, Xiao Beiguo also realized that Su Xiaowan wanted to return to the countryside more.

Maybe it was because of Su's mother, or maybe it was because he missed his previous life, but no matter which one it was, he wanted to be with her.

"Okay, I do want to go back. I used to worry about my children, but now they have grown up and can take care of themselves. I feel relieved now that they have a place to go."

Su Xiaowan wanted to go back to the countryside. She missed her previous life, and even more she missed the time when her mother was still alive.

Ever since Su's mother passed away, she found it difficult to be happy and always felt like something was missing.

At around two o'clock, Xixi came back with a very handsome and gentle boy.

The boys brought a lot of gifts, all of which were expensive and what they liked.

Xixi introduced, "Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend Zhang Zhian."

Zhang Zhian smiled gently and greeted, "Uncle and aunt, hello, it's my first visit, I don't know what you like, Xixi helped to choose it, I hope you like it."

Having said that, he put his things down and stood beside Xixi with confidence.

Xiao Beiguo was very satisfied with this boy. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and his words and actions were very polite and appropriate.

"sit down."

Su Xiaowan took out the tea leaves she had prepared in advance to make tea, and several people sat down.

"Mom and Dad, Zhian and I came back this time to discuss marriage with you." Xixi said nervously.

Zhang Zhian quickly replied, "Uncle and aunt, I know it's a bit abrupt to propose marriage this time, but I still respect your decision. I really want to marry Xixi, and I hope you can give me a chance."

Su Xiaowan brought the brewed tea to him and smiled softly, "Zhi'an, Xixi has been raised by us since she was a child. Her father and I are very relieved about what she does."

"His father and I have no objection to your marriage, as long as Xixi agrees."
