 At this time, a small head came out of the stove room and shrank back. Xiaocheng patted An An's head. "She isn't crying, just a little sad. Hurry and eat your meal"

"Brother will eat with An An and when we grow up, we'll protect mother from being bullied by Grandma." An An took XiaoCheng's bowl and handed it to him.

The two siblings ate their meal.

Su Wangqin went back after a while, carrying a sack in his hand. He put it in the stove room and did not see Gu Chunzhu around.

The two children have gone out to play, where did Gu Chunzhu go?

He hurriedly entered the room to find Gu Chunzhu lying on the bed and facing the wall.

"Chunzhu!" Su Wangqin stood by the bed and shouted softly.

He was ignored. Gu Chunzhu was facing the wall but her apricot eyes are wide open. Su Wangqin leaned over and saw that she was awake. His throat rolled twice to explain

"Are you crying?" His fingertips gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, his palms were sweating with anxiety but Gu Chunzhu still ignored him, so he shifted her over.

Gu Chunzhu's apricot eyes stared at him. The clear pupils reflected Su Wangqin's helpless look, she bit her lips and didn't speak.

"Chunzhu, I..." Su Wangqin quickly kissed her pink lips on an impulse. Both of them widened their eyes. Su Wangqin was surprised by the soft touch of her lips and rubs them on
(TN: thats not how u kiss rubrub😂)

The person below him frowned, Su Wangqin hurriedly released her.
There was a cold sweat behind her and a firm color in her black eyes.

 He held Gu Chunzhu's face,
"Chunzhu, you are my wife and I'll protect you. I know that it was my mother's fault.
I told Father and he made me carry a bag of sweet potatoes back. "

Gu Chunzhu's eyes were stunned, was she taken lightly by him just now?

 She sat up and hit Su Wangqin's shoulders several times, "What did you say, will a bag of sweet potatoes send us away? I won't take their shrimps anymore, No more.!!! "

"Well, well, do not be angry. "
Su Wangqin took her into his arms, coaxing and gently patting her back like a child
:"Father has already taught mother a lesson. She would not be coming to us. The thing is, I knocked your bowl today not for my mother, but for our reputation."

His arms were warm and there was a fragrance of cypress.

Gu Chunzhu was moved by him, he listened to him for a while as he continued "How could mother scold you, he deliberately harms her son's business and who's good relative dares to ask for a child Ah, there are Xiaocheng An'an and... our children..."

Gu Chunzhu listened and escaped from his arms, her eyes looked sideways, she panicked and stuttered , "You...you still want to have a child with me?"

"Yes!" Loud and clear.

Su Wangqin's black eyes brighten.
Gu Chunzhu saw that some part of him was glowing and towering high, which was a big exaggeration. She tried hard to close her eyes.

She was a grown lady in her previous life. Today, she didn’t notice that he was already frivolous. She couldn’t lose herself anymore, she shook her head in rattle. “We only have enough to eat at home. We can’t afford to raise another child!”

"I'm going to make money. Believe me, I will let you give birth to alot of children and all of you will be fed and wear warm clothes." His eyes seemed to be filled with the stars in the sky.

Gu Chunzhu hugged her knees and was not moved by his words. Chen Chong said a lot of sweet nothings in her previous life, for now, she cant have children so early knowing that they're still in an awkward situation.

Seeing her silent, Su Wangqin didn't talk anymore, no matter whether she believed him or not, he'll keep going it in that direction.

In the past, the children were entrusted to his mother, he couldn't rest assured and find a good job. Now, Gu Chunzhu can take good care of the children and that makes him very relieved.

"I'm going to make baskets. You should rest for a while." Su Wangqin didn't make a fool of himself anymore. He went out directly to cut bamboos with his wood knife and made it into thin strips .

Gu Chunzhu also got up from the bed. She was just a little uncomfortable.
They're still struggling for their living, she dared not to be lazy.
She took the rod and went fishing for shrimps

She didn’t know if there were too many people fishing recently. There are obviously fewer shrimps in the river.
Gu Chunzhu caught only three bowls of shrimps in the afternoon

By the time she returned home, Su Wangqin had already started to make baskets, she saw his prototypes.

Her eyes brightened, Su Wangqin would not need to worry about earning money with so many craftsmanships, but it was so messed up in the past, Old Mrs Su was there and so the original owner.
Now that she is the hostess at home.
She will take good care of this family.

"Brother Wang, I just caught three bowls of shrimp." Gu Chunzhu tone was sullen, she moved the wooden pier to sit next to Su Wangqin. Looking at his dexterous hands, in a moment he made up two circles with fine and even lines.

"It's winter and the shrimps will be gone sooner or later, I will work hard to make money!" Su Wangqin didn't seem to be in a hurry at all

Gu Chunzhu and him could not find anything to say anymore.
She put the shrimps in the stove room, and found that there were almost four barrels of river shrimps collected.
Although they were fishing less, more people are fishing.

She was in a good mood and started to be busy. Su Wangqin's voice from the outside came "Let's cook porridge at night also cut two sweet potatoes, it's near the rice vault."

"Okay." She responded loudly and began to peel sweet potatoes.

The two children returned home when it was getting dark. An An rushed into the kitchen and smiled and hugged Gu Chunzhu. Gu Chunzhu scraped her little nose. "Where did you two play?"

An An turned and looked at his brother. In a glance, Xiaocheng took his index finger and placed it in his mouth so An An said nothing. It happened that Gu Chunzhu caught this movement

    "Xiaocheng, your little sister is younger, you must not take your sister in a dangerous place, you know?"
Gu Chunzhu knew that these was a secret of the two little guys, so she didn't go into the details but ordered them to stay away from danger.

"Got it." Xiaocheng nodded and then went to the yard to help Su Wangqin.

Gu Chunzhu sat in front of the stove, An An's little buttocks twisted and climbed on Gu Chunzhu's lap and easily sold his brother.

 Whispering in Gu Chunzhu's ear, she said: "My brother and I went to play with Brother Zhuangzhuang
Brother Zhuangzhuang's  became the master, and the two of us became students."

Isn't this just a child's play? Gu Chunzhu didn't take it seriously either, she hold An An and tickled her, she laughed so hard and showed a line of cute millet teeth.
