The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

His steps were relaxed as if he had just taken a bath. However, the laughter of the children coming from afar was like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing across the lake of his heart, stirring up layers of ripples of happiness.

To him, this sound was the most beautiful music, more beautiful than any sound from nature.

Erbao noticed his father coming in with sharp eyes, "Dad, come and let mom kiss you too. Mom just kissed all of us, you can't leave dad out!"

The other four children followed suit, each with a smile as rosy as a flower, innocent and pure. Although they did not understand the complex emotions of the adult world, they knew that their mother's kiss was an expression of her love for them, and naturally hoped that this love could be shared with their father without reservation.

As Xie Yi listened to the children's words, the warmth in his heart became even more turbulent.

The coolness he had just felt from the cold shower was now completely replaced by the warmth from the inside out, and he couldn't help but feel a little hot.

He glanced at Xu Xiufang beside him quietly, with a bit of shyness and helplessness in his eyes, "Your mother and I are both adults, and the kiss between us is different from that between you children."

But Erbao insisted seriously: "No, since mommy kissed us, she must kiss daddy too."

Xiaobao also added to it, mentioning the family concept that his aunt once talked about, and believed that this kind of intimate expression should exist between family members.

The children's words were simple and straightforward, yet full of power; their smiles were unrestrained, like the sunshine on a summer afternoon, bright and warm.

However, for Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi, such a straightforward request made it difficult for them to act as naturally as the children.

At this moment, they seemed to be pulled back to reality, with the reserve and complex emotions of adults surging in their hearts.

Faced with the children's constant pleading, Xu Xiufang finally compromised.

Although she usually acts decisively, she still shows a shy daughter-like attitude when it comes to love.

She gently closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, as if she had mustered all her courage, and let her lips lightly touch Xie Yi's cheek.

At that moment, Xie Yi's body trembled violently, his eyes full of disbelief. This unexpected intimacy caused indescribable emotions in his heart.

"Okay, kids, it's time to go to bed and stop making noise."

Xu Xiufang tried to restore her usual dignity. Although she said so, she herself was also experiencing the innocence of love for the first time. Her heart was beating like a drum, there seemed to be a subtle roar in her ears, and her cheeks were stained with an imperceptible blush.

She quickly turned around and climbed onto the bed as if escaping, trying to calm her suddenly accelerated heartbeat.

The bed is neither too big nor too small, just right to accommodate this cozy little family.

This is a tradition in the countryside. The bed is handmade by carpenters. It is simple yet steady. It is made of thick materials and is wide enough to carry the dreams of a large family.

After all, in that era, the concept of having many children was deeply rooted in people's minds. Every family had many children and space was limited, so a spacious bed became a precious place for reunion at night.

Xu Xiufang leaned against the head of the bed, with her hands lightly placed behind her head, and glanced lovingly at every little troublemaker.

Although the children had calmed down temporarily, they had no intention of falling asleep. They were still full of energy, with a gleam of exploring the world in their eyes.

And even though her heart was still beating restlessly in her chest, she found a kind of unprecedented satisfaction and tranquility in such chaos and laughter.

This is the feeling of home, simple yet complex.

Three little figures stuck out their little butts one by one, and climbed out of the soft bedding with some reluctance but full of determination.

There was still the sweetness of dreams on their little faces, and there was a determination gleam in their eyes.

Dabao was the first to stand still, with his hands on his waist, looking like a little adult, and his tone was full of seriousness and persistence in family responsibilities: "We should sleep separately, so that we can better protect mom and dad."

Erbao followed closely behind, his brows furrowed, and his serious expression seemed as if he was planning a major strategic deployment.

His childish voice revealed unquestionable strength: "Dad and Mom will sleep in the middle, my big brother and I will guard the left, and Xiaobao will be on our right, forming an indestructible protective circle."

After saying this, he deliberately opened his arms, a movement full of confidence and pride in the protection plan.

Xiaobao responded to Erbao's call and quickly and nimbly crawled to the innermost side of the bed. His little back looked particularly determined.

Yueyue and Yangyang followed tacitly, without any extra words, expressing their support and commitment with actions.

Faced with the children's innocent and slightly immature arrangements, Xie Yi's heart was deeply touched.

How could he bear to reject this warmth from the bottom of his heart?

So he quietly agreed: "Okay, mom and I will sleep in the middle, but you have to promise to sleep well after tonight, because your brother and sister have to get up early to go to school."

His voice was mixed with a father's majesty and affection. As soon as he finished speaking, the two pairs of bright eyes instantly became obedient and the room immediately returned to silence.

However, when Xu Xiufang snuggled up to Xie Yi, a subtle atmosphere of awkwardness quietly spread.

She approached Xie Yi gently, almost unconsciously, feeling the sense of security brought by his strong arms, while at the same time a subtle shyness surged in her heart.

The two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing, but at this moment they both chose silence, letting time flow slowly in the subtle stalemate, until the children's even snoring rose and fell, weaving a peaceful night melody.

Xu Xiufang finally couldn't hold back anymore and gently touched Xie Yi. At this moment, she was gently surrounded by Xie Yi's strong arms, which was a silent protection.

Her cheek was pressed against his warm chest. Although the bed was large, the children had to stay close to the edge as they slept in such imaginative ways that they would not disturb the sleeping little angels.

Xie Yi was touched by the warm atmosphere coming from Xu Xiufang. His heartbeat accelerated and the male instinct in his body began to stir. Under this peaceful life, there were hidden waves of uneasy emotions.

For him, facing such temptation every day is undoubtedly a test.

Xu Xiufang seemed more free and easy, or less sensitive to these subtle emotions. Her attitude was casual and natural, even a little nonchalant.

Finally, it was she who broke the deadlock, her voice low and soft, like the gentlest spring breeze: "Why don't you sleep over there so that we don't have to squeeze together."

Xie Yi was not willing to give up this rare closeness easily. He simply pulled Xu Xiufang into his arms and used his arms as her support. The distance between them disappeared instantly, and only unspoken warmth remained between them.

In such an environment full of love and restrictions, they all need to use willpower to control themselves, even though the desires in their hearts are as surging as the tide.
