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

Xiao Beiguo looked at Su Xiaowan in confusion. She held down her wine glass and spoke in a cold tone.

"Li Qian, the reason why you and I know each other is because you and my man were childhood friends."

"I made this meal for you today because of him, so I don't feel tired."

"As for saying I don't like you, you think too highly of yourself. We don't even know each other, so how can we talk about whether I like you or not?"

Li Qian's face turned pale and blue. She just wanted to provoke Su Xiaowan, but she didn't expect that she would not give her any face at all!

"Sister-in-law, Xixi has a manly temperament. Don't bother with her. How about replacing this glass of wine with water? Just consider it as a chance to get to know each other again tonight?"

Zhang Zhiwei wanted to smooth things over, but Su Xiaowan was not stupid. Asking her to drink Li Qian's toast was a slap in her face.

"I don't really like making friends, and Li Qian and I aren't the type of people who can get along well. Forget about the drinks. I'm also going to bring Xixi with me, so you guys can do whatever you want."

This time, Su Xiaowan didn't give any face at all and just walked out with Xixi in her arms.

Xiao Beiguo, who was standing by, looked at her calm appearance and wanted to follow her, but Li Qian grabbed his arm.

"Beiguo, I seem to have made Xiaowan angry. Does she have a problem with me or does she not like me being so close to you?"

Zhang Zhiwei said quickly, "Xixi, don't think too much. Sister-in-law is just like that. You are not familiar with her. When you spend more time with her, you will know that Sister-in-law is easy to talk to."

As long as you don't provoke her, she is easy to talk to.

But what Zhang Zhiwei didn't know was that Li Qian not only provoked Su Xiaowan, but also did it again and again.

Xiao Beiguo was thinking about what Su Xiaowan said in the kitchen. Li Qian was a guest here, so it would not be appropriate for him to leave rashly.

Pulling his hand back, "Let's eat. Xiaowan doesn't have any other intentions. Xixi, don't think too much about it."

Li Qian was his lifesaver, and Xiao Beiguo had always been grateful to her. Most of the time, he would not care too much about what she said.

"Are you really okay?" Li Qian wanted to pull Xiao Beiguo's arm, but he avoided her calmly.

He sat back in his seat, his expression normal, "It's okay, Xiaowan is not that kind of person, but you were wrong just now, I treat you as my sister, even if you don't call her sister-in-law, you should call her Sister Xiaowan."

"You really should thank her for working so hard to cook. You shouldn't do it when she's almost finished eating. If you do that, she'll feel like you don't respect her."

Li Qian lowered her eyes, as if she had been wronged, "Beiguo, you know, when I'm with you guys, I never pay attention to these things."

"Just now, I saw Sister Xiaowan was taking care of Xixi, so I thought of waiting for a while. I didn't expect that she would mind so much. I really didn't mean to do that, and I didn't mean to disrespect her."

Zhang Zhiwei also helped to speak up, "Brother Xiao, others may not know Xixi's personality, but we do."

"She has never paid attention to these things since she was with us. She is just like a big boor."

"You can't blame her entirely for this. Sister-in-law is overthinking it, but what Xixi said is also wrong."

"Don't do this again in the future. Although your sister-in-law has a good temper, she is not a person without temper."

Xiao Beiguo didn't say much. He was originally happy, but because of this incident, things became a little unpleasant and no one had any appetite for food.

He started to clear the table, Li Qian also helped, and Zhang Zhiwei dealt with the remaining dishes.

After finishing all this, Li Qian found an excuse to go home. Xiao Beiguo looked at the sky outside and saw that it had completely darkened, but Su Xiaowan had not returned yet.

He frowned, feeling extremely irritated, and went out to look for someone.

Just as I walked to the door, I heard Xixi's cheerful voice from afar, "Mom, next time after dinner, can we ask Dad to come with us?"

Xiao Beiguo took a few big steps forward, picked up Xiaoya, kissed her on the cheek, and asked with a smile, "Where do you want daddy to go with you?"

"Let's go to the river. There are fireflies there, but I can't catch them. Mom said you can catch them." Xixi hugged his neck with an expectant look on her face.

Xiao Beiguo looked at Su Xiaowan, his eyes and eyebrows smiling, just like usual, without any expression he had when he was eating.

He was relieved, he thought she would be unhappy.

"Why did you take her to the river? It's dark now and the mud by the river is not solid. It's not very safe."

Su Xiaowan smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "We walked and walked until we got there. Xixi saw the fireflies and stayed there for a while."

In fact, she was feeling upset and wanted to go out for some fresh air. The sounds of frogs croaking by the river gradually calmed her down.

"Don't take what happened tonight to heart. Xixi grew up with us, and she's not that meticulous in her words and deeds. She didn't mean to do that."

Xiao Beiguo felt that he should explain.

"Well, I didn't take it to heart."

Su Xiaowan didn't expect Xiao Beiguo to explain for Li Qian, but when she thought about it, she was the person he liked to protect since she was a child, so how could he bear to let her suffer any grievances.

"Well, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll go buy some pork tomorrow morning. If you want to eat anything, I'll bring it back. Ask Zhiwei to come over tomorrow night."

"Let's buy a duck, and then look around to see if there are any grass carps to make boiled fish."

Su Xiaowan really wants to eat a lot. Tomorrow is a holiday, and everyone will be resting, so she can rest too and have a good meal.

"Okay, Granny Li has the duck at her house. I'll go tell her later."

"Okay, then you go now. I'll take Xixi back to take a shower first."

Su Xiaowan carried Xixi into the yard, and Xiao Beiguo went to Grandma Li's house.

When he came back, Su Xiaowan had already finished taking a shower and was sitting at her desk reading a book.

He leaned forward to take a look, "How are the vegetables in the greenhouse?"

"After the holidays, we can transplant the plants. The weather is still a bit hot right now, so it will probably take another half a month."

Su Xiaowan was flipping through a book while Xiao Beiguo took his clothes and went to take a shower. He did not forget to ask, "Should we go back to see mom and dad the day after tomorrow?"

She wanted to go back last time. It's rare that I'm not busy now, so I'll accompany her.

"Okay, I'll ask Zhaodi if she wants to go back with us then."

Su Xiaowan thought about what Zhaodi said to her last time about bringing Su's mother to her, and she really wanted to go back and see her.

"Okay, ask her tomorrow. If you go back, I'll tell Zhiwei and ask him to watch over there."

This time they go back, they will definitely have to stay overnight, as the chickens, ducks and pigs cannot be left alone.

When Xiao Beiguo came back from taking a shower, Su Xiaowan was still reading. He found that she was becoming more and more fond of reading.

In addition to the books on greenhouse cultivation that Song Nancheng had found for her before, she also read some books on animal husbandry.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Reading at night is bad for your eyes."

"I'll watch for a while, you go to sleep first." Su Xiaowan was upset and couldn't sleep, afraid that he would notice.

Xiao Beiguo leaned on her shoulder, buried his head in her neck and rubbed it, "Xiao Wan, I want tonight."

Su Xiaowan felt a surge of sadness in her heart. She couldn't describe the feeling, but she just felt a little depressed.

In the past, Xiao Beiguo would never say it so directly.
