After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 262 Reading is for the purpose of broadening one's horizons

On their way back, they also encountered two little white rabbits.

Da Bao said the two little rabbits were very cute, so he decided not to make them into cold-cooked rabbit anymore, but to keep them as pets.

When Su Xiaoxiao got back, she made a small cage for the two little rabbits, and the cage was quite exquisite.

Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with her cooking skills. The two fluffy little guys were fed vegetables by Da Bao and Xiao Bao. The two little rabbits tentatively came over and ate the vegetables from Da Bao and Xiao Bao's hands.

"I wonder when Father will be back?"

While feeding the rabbit vegetables, Da Bao suddenly said, "Mom, why don't you go look for Dad? I'm worried something might have happened to him since he's still not home this late."

Su Xiaoxiao said to Da Bao, "Don't talk like that. Your father's home wasn't originally here. If he wants to come back, he will come back one day."

Da Bao dared not say anything more, afraid of upsetting Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was chopping firewood in the yard, but she stopped what she was doing and looked up in the direction of the front door.

She seemed dazed. Da Bao knew that although his mother hadn't said it, she probably hoped that Pei Yuan would come back tonight.
Before the snow falls even heavier, I wonder if Pei Yuan will explain things to Tang Xiaoman and then come back?

The two children went to sleep, and Su Xiaoxiao sat alone in the yard.

Even late into the night, although there was a charcoal fire in the kitchen, Su Xiaoxiao didn't feel any warmth at all.

An Yongshan stood in front of his window, watching Su Xiaoxiao's lonely figure. He wanted to come over and offer a few words of comfort.

But what right does he have? Everything can never go back to the way it was before.

Su Xiaoxiao thought of An Yongshan, a mysterious man who never left his house, which really piqued her curiosity.

Su Xiaoxiao decided to eavesdrop and see what An Yongshan was up to.

An Yongshan hadn't left the house, and there wasn't even a light on inside. Su Xiaoxiao wanted to go in and see if he had already left.

However, since An Yongshan had mentioned before that he didn't want Su Xiaoxiao to come and bother him.

Su Xiaoxiao also had a sense of propriety and decided that it was better not to bother them.

Su Xiaoxiao went back to sleep and discovered that Xiaobao was still awake.

Pei Yuan tells her stories every night before bed, and it has become a habit over time.

"Mom, I can't sleep."

Xiao Bao came over and tugged at Su Xiaoxiao's clothes, and Su Xiaoxiao picked her up in one go.

Xiao Bao hugged Su Xiaoxiao's neck and pressed his little head tightly against her body.

"Little Bao wants to hear a story, Mommy will tell me a story."

Xiao Bao started acting like a rascal, and Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to support her and carry her to the bed in the inner room.

But Xiao Bao doesn't want to sleep yet; he's very energetic.

"I'm waiting for my dad to come back and tell me stories."

Xiao Bao jumped off the bed, ran to the desk, grabbed Da Bao's calligraphy brush, and started writing.

"Mommy, please teach me to write!"

Su Xiaoxiao laughed. "Why? Xiaobao?"

"Because Xiaobao also wants to study!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little girl who was only four years old this year. Her dark pupils shone with a determined light, which shocked Su Xiaoxiao.

Do you want me to teach you to read too?

"Yes, I want to study. I want to be literate like my mother in the future, and I will never let anyone bully me because I am ignorant."

"That's really ambitious!"

Since Xiaobao was so proactive, Su Xiaoxiao didn't mind the trouble. She opened the thick book and, under the dim light, began explaining the poems to Xiaobao. Surprisingly, after Su Xiaoxiao read them only a few times, Xiaobao was able to recite them immediately.

This child has a really good memory. Su Xiaoxiao felt that her new brain was still the best.

At her age, she can't do anything like Xiaobao with his memory.

Su Xiaoxiao, as if she had discovered a new continent, began to teach Xiaobao some poems, as well as the Hundred Family Surnames and the Thousand Character Classic.

Unexpectedly, this child has a wide range of interests, and even wants to learn to draw. Su Xiaoxiao found that the child holds the pen quite steadily, but the general shape is already pretty much there.

"Xiao Bao is so amazing, how about I teach you every day from now on?"

Xiao Bao nodded obediently.

"it is good."

Seeing how well-behaved and smart Xiaobao was, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but kiss her little face twice.

"Our little baby is so well-behaved and so smart."

Xiao Bao's face is so soft, chubby, and incredibly tender.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was very happy today, Xiaobao tilted her head and brought up an idea she had for a long time.

"Mom, look how well-behaved Xiaobao is, will you have another baby?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. She hadn't expected that such a young child would ask such a question.

"Maybe."

Su Xiaoxiao then asked Xiaobao.

"Would you like me to have another baby?"

To my surprise, Xiao Bao answered immediately and decisively.

"I think... Daddy also wants Mommy to give birth to a baby."

Her eyes sparkled, but that light vanished in an instant.

"But my brother said that if Mother has a baby, she won't want us anymore. Mother, will you abandon us?"

Xiao Bao came over, hugged Su Xiaoxiao's neck, and looked up at her intently.

Su Xiaoxiao's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something, a dull ache in the pain.

How should she explain this to Xiaobao?

"Little Bao, listen to what your mother has to say. No matter whether I have another baby or not, you and Da Bao are both my children, and I will always be your mother. Do you understand?"

Xiao Bao was naturally very happy to hear Su Xiaoxiao say that.

"Remember, Xiaobao and Dabao, you must remember that no matter what, Mommy will always love you and will always be by your side. Let's wait for Daddy to come back together, okay?"

When Xiaobao heard Su Xiaoxiao say that, she immediately became happy, jumped up and patted Su Xiaoxiao on the shoulder.

"Mother, Xiaobao will wait with you for Father to come back."

At this moment, Da Bao, who had been waiting outside the door, could no longer contain his emotions. He rushed in, hugged Su Xiaoxiao, and looked up to ask her.

"Mother, you said you would always be with us, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "Yes, I will always be by your side. When you grow up and start your own families, I will still be there for you. You won't find me annoying then, will you?"

"Of course not. I will definitely study hard in the future, pass the imperial examinations to become a scholar or a provincial graduate, and then go to the capital to take the imperial examination. I will take my mother to the capital to live a good life and visit various places to see the beautiful landscapes of our Chinese nation."

With tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, Su Xiaoxiao hugged the two children tightly and said, "As long as you study hard, all of these things will come true in the future."
