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

Xiao Beiguo pursed his lips and said, "I'm fine. I'm just worried that you will be too stressed out when you grow vegetables in that greenhouse."

"Is it just because of this?" Su Xiaowan was a little unconvinced.

"That's it. It's not that I don't believe in your ability, it's just that we haven't come into contact with this before. You have so many things to do, and I don't understand them. I can't help you, so you have to work hard alone."

Xiao Beiguo was indeed worried about this, but he was unhappy because Su Xiaowan trusted Song Nancheng so much!

On the contrary, she didn't believe him and even directly refuted his suggestions.

"Beiguo, I know you are worried about me, but we are still young and Nancheng is willing to help us. This is a good opportunity."

Hearing Su Xiaowan calling him "Brother Nancheng" all the time, that tone made him feel extremely irritated.

She was so sour when she spoke, "Brother Nancheng is so nice, why don't you just ask him for help on things you don't understand? I don't need to give you any advice, since you don't agree with my ideas anyway."

Su Xiaowan looked at his slightly puffy cheeks and burst out laughing, not knowing whether to be angry or to curse him.

"Xiao Beiguo, you are jealous."

She hadn't even realized that this man had such a... cute side.

This really surprised her. After all, in her previous life, even though she was close to the men in the village, he would never even look at her.

Xiao Beiguo said in a muffled voice, "I'm not jealous. It makes my teeth hurt."

"What are you thinking about?" Su Xiaowan was amused by his expression.

"You are my man, and Brother Nancheng is our partner and friend. He treats us as friends warmly. Doesn't it seem less strange to call him that?"

After hearing what she said, Xiao Beiguo looked uncomfortable and his ears turned red.

Frustrated and arrogant, "I didn't hear you call me brother either."

"So you want me to call you brother? Don't you think that would be weird?" Su Xiaowan laughed.

What is this man thinking?

If he asked her to call him brother, wouldn't he feel weird when doing that kind of thing?

Xiao Beiguo didn't want to answer her question, but her words "my man" made him feel much better.

Even if Song Nancheng likes Su Xiaowan, she is his wife, and he can only watch her even if he likes her!

He is different. He can hug his wife whenever he wants and do whatever he wants with her.

Thinking about it, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

"Hurry home, the sun will tan you later."

Su Xiaowan smiled, followed him and asked, "Xiao Beiguo, you are not in love with me, are you?"

"Why are you talking so much? Hurry up and leave."

Xiao Beiguo's face turned red, which would be easy to see if it weren't for his dark skin.

But his frantic heartbeat had already betrayed him, and he was very confused in his heart, is this love?

But he and Su Xiaowan have been married for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to it. If he really likes her, why didn't he like her before?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Xiaowan stopped teasing him and just said, "We are already an old couple and have children. Are you still worried that I will be with another man?"

Xiao Beiguo didn't say anything, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart that Su Xiaowan seemed to treat him differently from how he treated her.

She lives with me because they have Xixi and they are a legal couple.

What if not?

Thinking of this, I feel bad. I can’t tell why, but I just feel a little depressed.

After returning home, Su Xiaowan started to get busy again. After lunch, Su Ting also came over.

The whole family sat under the eaves processing the agar-agar grass, and Su Xiaowan told them about her next plan.

"Sister Ting, I remember there is a piece of land next to your vegetable garden. It will be used to grow sweet potatoes next year. How about you rent it to me to grow greenhouse vegetables? I will pay you the rent, okay?"

"Okay, I'll work with you here, and I don't have time to tinker with the land, so you can use it to plant."

Su Ting has earned a lot of money with Su Xiaowan these days. Even though it takes so long to plant the sweet potato field, not many sweet potatoes can be produced, and it is very tiring.

"Okay, let's put it this way. We'll write a contract later and decide on the price that Sister Ting thinks is appropriate." Su Xiaowan was also straightforward.

"What are you talking about? This land can't grow many sweet potatoes in a year. You just give me five dollars as a token of your appreciation. What's the point of signing a contract?"

Su Xiaowan didn't say anything. She knew that Su Ting didn't want her in-laws to get involved.

Having said this, she arranged what to do next.

"Sister Ting, take Zhaodi with you and go cut bamboos when you have time. You need the tough bamboos to fence off the vegetable garden. After a while, I'll ask Zhiwei to cut some big bamboos for later use."

"Okay, I'll take care of it. When do you plan to start planting?" Su Ting was still a little curious about the cultivation of vegetables in the greenhouse.

"By mid-September, the jelly here will no longer be for sale, so we'll start over there."

Su Xiaowan had everything planned out and kept everything she needed to do in her mind.

"By the way, Sister Ting, I remember you have a lot of peppers, beans, lentils, etc., you can pick them and sell them to me later. If your sister-in-law has some, I will buy them too. The price will be based on what they sell outside. You can help me pick them, any amount is fine."

Su Ting didn't ask and agreed, "Okay, I promise to do it for you."

After a busy day, Su Xiaowan began to sort out the accounts of the past few days in the evening.

All in all, I didn't spend much money, but I didn't have much money on hand either.

She looked at the numbers and sighed. Although it was only several thousand yuan, she was still considered rich in that era.

But there are many places to spend money, and during this period, she can only barely maintain the family expenses by relying on the money from selling pickled peppers and green beans after paying her wages.

Su Xiaowan thought about what Xiao Beiguo said to her yesterday, and suddenly felt a little annoyed. She seemed to have been a little impulsive.

This is not just for their family's food, but also for the wages of the people who work, so it must be paid every month.

She fiddled with the money, her face full of worry and anxiety.

Xiao Beiguo came in after taking a shower and saw her with her shoulders drooped and looking listless.

Walk up and ask, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, I just checked the accounts and found that what you said yesterday made sense." Su Xiaowan said frankly.

Xiao Beiguo curled his lips, feeling a little happy in his heart, "For the time being, this money is enough, don't worry too much, I will go there with Zhiwei tomorrow night, some goods arrived a few days ago, I have to help them out."

"Then you guys be careful, safety first." Although Su Xiaowan didn't want him to go, it would be difficult for her to refuse since she had promised others to ship the goods.

"Okay, don't worry." Xiao Beiguo helped put the account book away, watched her lock the door and get into bed, then turned off the lights.

As soon as Su Xiaowan closed her eyes, Xiao Beiguo lay down, held her in his arms, buried his head in her neck and whispered.

"Xiao Wan, are you tired?"

"It's okay. I'm not very tired." Su Xiaowan answered casually, completely unaware of his intention to rub her waist.

"My waist doesn't hurt, no need to rub it, go to sleep, you've been tired all day."

Xiao Beiguo's hand moved up along her waist, his lips wandered around her neck, and he whispered.

"Since you're not tired, why don't you do some exercise before going to bed?"

These days have been busy and he hasn't had one in a while.
