The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

There was a subtle atmosphere in the air. Xu Xiufang was keenly aware of it and decided to avoid it temporarily. She quickly cleaned up the dishes on the table with quick and orderly movements.

Seeing this, Xie Yi also stood up to help. The five children gathered around them obediently, their little hands busy. Only Xu Xiaohua was still immersed in her own thoughts and was completely unaware of all this.

"You're taking too much like this. What if you accidentally drop them all?"

Xu Xiaohua took some of the dishes from Xu Xiufang's hands with concern, her eyes full of love and care for her sister.

"Aren't you going to see Master Liu? You and your brother-in-law go first. I'll take care of the children and wash the dishes. I have some other things to take care of."

Xu Xiaohua's words were full of understanding and support for her sister. Her eyes were gentle and doting, as if telling Xu Xiufang that she would always be her strongest support.

Xu Xiufang felt a warm current surge in her heart. In her previous life, she had never experienced the warmth of family. But now, the love given by Xu Xiaohua was like the sunshine in winter, warm and strong, which moved her deeply.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, just help the kids with their homework, I can take care of these little things quickly."

When it comes to tutoring homework, Xu Xiaohua knows that she is not good at it, but she knows very well that which mother is unwilling to stop and quietly accompany her children and watch them concentrate on their studies?

Soon, Xu Xiufang finished packing and turned to Xie Yi and suggested, "Let's go together."

In fact, if Xu Xiufang hadn't been worried about that journey, she wouldn't have insisted on inviting Xie Yi to go with her.

Although Xie Yi remained indifferent on the surface, he was already excited in his heart by Xu Xiufang's invitation.

He tidied himself up briefly and set off side by side with Xu Xiufang.

On the way to the shop, Xu Xiufang walked into the store and took out two bags of brown sugar.

"I bought brown sugar last time, wouldn't it be better to change to something else?"

Xie Yi’s question was very real.

Xu Xiufang shook her head slightly and explained, "Brown sugar is a treasure these days. It's especially good for girls to drink it in water during those few days of the month. If you don't drink it, it's also a great choice to give it to others. It's both economical and thoughtful."

Hearing this, Xie Yi seemed to have tasted a deeper meaning from Xu Xiufang's words. He slowed down his pace with no other purpose but to stroll side by side with Xu Xiufang in this quiet night.

As the night deepens, there is silence all around, and the occasional chirping of insects makes the night even quieter.

"Where is your hometown?"

Xie Yi's curiosity was aroused, and he asked this question sincerely.

Even though he could sense that Xu Xiufang might not reveal it easily, he still couldn't help but ask, like an arrow that had been shot and could not be taken back.

Xu Xiufang glanced at Xie Yi beside her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, sweet and cozy.

She was not stupid. She could feel that she seemed to have unconsciously developed some special feelings for this man.

"Don't ask me. You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. I'm still single. You're lucky."

Xu Xiufang blinked and gave Xie Yi a mischievous smile.

Xie Yi smiled and didn't answer. He didn't know how to respond for a moment. Seeing his shy look, Xu Xiufang couldn't help but smiled and said, "You know what? You are actually quite handsome when you smile. Don't always have a stern face in the future. Smile more."

Although Xie Yi was a little shy, as a man, he pretended to be relaxed and asked back: "Why, are you going to be charmed by me when I smile?"

The shyness just now disappeared instantly, and there was a hint of playfulness in the smile at the corner of her mouth.

Xu Xiufang looked at the empty country path ahead. Even though Xie Yi's smile was a little mischievous, she did not dislike it. Instead, she felt that such a night became particularly warm because of each other's company.

"I didn't like you before, you know that?"

Xie Yi's lips curled up into a playful smile, his eyes flashing with a cunning light, as if he was recalling a long-lost memory, "The one with Director Chen? Gentle and elegant, isn't it?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but it also revealed his understanding of Xu Xiufang's past preferences.

That being said, a hint of nostalgia crossed Xu Xiufang's face. The kind of man she once admired always behaved well and spoke gently, like the gentlest breeze in spring.

But now, she is already a mother of three children, carrying the burden of the family on her shoulders. Those dreams of her girlhood have long been replaced by the trivialities of daily life.

How could she be so casual and let fantasy easily control reality?

It would be fine to just think about it, life has to go on, but her thoughts inadvertently weave together an intricate inner drama about responsibility, sacrifice, and the unfinished love hidden deep in her heart.

Xie Yi has always been thoughtful. How could he not see through Xu Xiufang's subtle changes in mind? A hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

Xu Xiufang immediately put away her wandering thoughts, turned a corner in her mind, and returned to the warmth of reality - yes, this rough yet gentle man in front of her is her real support.

"You're wrong. I like you like this."

As soon as Xu Xiufang finished speaking, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, as if she wanted to prove her determination with action.

The sunlight shone on her through the gaps in the leaves. She exuded a light and bright youthful aura, making people almost forget that she was already a mother of three children.

Xie Yi looked at her back. Even without asking, he could feel the innocence and tenacity in Xu Xiufang's heart from her brisk steps. He felt moved and apologetic, but also had a trace of selfishness that he didn't want to show to others easily.

How he wished Xu Xiufang could stay with him forever and become an indispensable part of his life.

"Just rest assured. No matter what I was like before, I am now the mother of those three little guys and your wife."

As Xu Xiufang spoke, she paused, turned around, and her eyes were full of determination, as if she was announcing her choice and commitment to the world.

She and Xie Yi looked into each other's eyes. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, with only the deep affection in each other's eyes flowing.

Xie Yi smiled with a hint of shyness on his face. The sweet feeling in his heart made him feel a little overwhelmed.

To him, all this seemed like a warm joke that fate played on him, allowing him to receive the most precious gift in life when he least expected it.

Walking into Wang Yimin's home, Xu Xiufang's movements seemed particularly gentle. She gently placed the brown sugar in her hand on the table, and her actions revealed an unspoken care.

She was not a person who liked to beat around the bush, and she would never disturb others without any reason, but this time, her arrival was indeed for an important purpose.

Therefore, Xu Xiufang didn't even have time to sit down or exchange pleasantries with Mr. Wang's wife before she directly and sincerely explained the purpose of her visit.
