The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"But you just said you didn't want it at home."

Xu Xiufang gently brought up the past, but there was no blame in her tone. It was more like she was recalling the heartwarming conversation between the two of them.

Xie Yi was speechless for a moment. How could he really not want it?

He had dreamed countless times of having a little daughter as gentle and lovely as Xu Xiufang, but he was afraid that she would take any risks because of it.

The changes in life always catch people off guard. Who could have predicted that all this would happen?

"Wife, I'm afraid you'll suffer..."

Xie Yi's voice was low and sincere, and his words were full of love and reluctance for Xu Xiufang.

Xu Xiufang couldn't help but hum softly, but a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xie Yi always puts her first, and this kindness is more touching than any sweet words.

If they were not in a public place, she would give him a tight hug and a passionate kiss without hesitation.

In fact, for Xu Xiufang, the risk of childbirth is not the biggest consideration.

Her body has become stronger after giving birth to three babies. If she takes good care of herself, it won't be too dangerous to have another baby.

Her previous hesitation was mainly because she wanted to devote more energy and love to Xie Yi and Sanbao.

However, as time went by, she gradually realized that children were growing into independent individuals. They needed not only meticulous care, but also a growth environment full of love and freedom.

And she, as a mother, should also give them enough trust and space.

Especially when her eldest and second child started school, she had more time and her desire to add new members to the family became stronger and stronger.

Moreover, both Xie Yi and the children longed to have a daughter or sister to complete the warm picture of this family.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Look how smooth it was for me to give birth to my third child, right?"

Xu Xiufang comforted Xie Yi gently, her smile full of maternal radiance and confidence.

"Yes!"

Xie Yi suddenly understood, and thinking back to every time Xu Xiufang gave birth smoothly, his worries were immediately alleviated a lot.

The two smiled at each other, left the hospital hand in hand, their hearts filled with beautiful visions of the future.

On the way home, Xu Xiufang couldn't help but joked, "So, you also want a daughter, right?"

As she spoke, her eyes flickered with a cunning light.

"It would be best if it was a daughter, but a son is also good. As long as it's yours, I like it!"

Xie Yi followed her words with a happy smile on his face.

The laughter of the three boys has already filled this home with vitality, but deep down he really longs for a caring little girl. However, he also knows that gender issues are beyond human control, and he does not want to bring any extra pressure to Xu Xiufang.

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang's lips curled up slightly and her heart was filled with warmth.

For them, home is the most solid harbor. No matter the wind or rain, they will always be with each other.

At home, as the afterglow of the setting sun filled the yard, Dabao and Erbao returned with their schoolbags and found the house empty. They were not surprised.

They know that the mother occasionally takes the baby out to enjoy parent-child time.

The two little guys put down their schoolbags tacitly, picked up the bamboo baskets, and ran out the door impatiently to meet up with their friends in the village, and went to the fields together to enjoy their happy time - cutting grass for pigs.

As the sun sets, the two brothers return home with a full load. The fragrance of pig grass and sweat intertwined together, forming the most simple memories of their childhood.

When they returned home, they still didn't see their parents, so they naturally went to their neighbors to ask for news.

I learned that grandma took Xiaobao to her own vegetable garden after work, and his parents hurried to the city. Although I was confused, I was not too worried.

On the way home, Erbao looked up at Dabao with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, "Brother, are our parents okay?"

His voice was mixed with the innocence and worry unique to a child.

"Mom and Dad are strong, they'll be fine."

Dabao's answer was full of confidence, and his determined eyes seemed to tell his younger brother that everything was under control.

"Yes, my parents are so powerful, I'm sure it will be fine."

Erbao nodded repeatedly, then covered his rumbling stomach and looked at Dabao innocently, "Brother, I'm hungry!"

"Wait."

Dabao took his time and skillfully pulled out a key from under his collar. It was a secret weapon that his mother had left for him. He opened the small wooden box hanging on the wall, which was filled with a variety of snacks. They were the "emergency food" that Xu Xiufang had prepared to prevent the children from going hungry.

Dabao took out two pieces of sweet egg cakes and two crispy biscuits and handed them to Erbao.

Erbao took the snacks, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if he had discovered a treasure.

"Brother, why did mom only give you the key and not me?"

Erbao asked curiously, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Dabao glanced at him sideways, with a bit of mature pride, "I am the boss after all, so I have to take responsibility."

His answer showed both pride in being an elder brother and love for his younger brother.

Although Erbao is smart, he also understands that if he continues to dwell on this issue, he will only get a "teaching" from his brother.

He wisely chose to shut up and concentrate on enjoying the delicious food in his hands.

This small wooden box was specially used by Xu Xiufang to store snacks. The reason for locking it was to prevent Xiaobao's health from being affected by greed. After all, he was still young and did not know how to control himself.

Secondly, although the second baby is not as greedy as the first baby, snacks are very tempting to him and can easily affect his regular meals, so they need to be controlled moderately.

Xu Xiufang knew very well that she was often not at home, so in order to ensure that the children would not go hungry, she gave this "important task" to Dabao, who had stronger self-control.

After eating some snacks and feeling half full, but his parents still hadn't come back, Dabao showed a maturity beyond his years. He rolled up his sleeves and suggested, "Let's cook for ourselves!"

There was a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat in his words.

Thus, a cooking drama led by two children quietly unfolded.

Dabao skillfully washes the pot and rice. Smoke rises in the courtyard and the air is filled with the aroma of rice. It is the taste of home and the mark of growth.

Erbao's eyes fell on the fresh fish lying quietly on the ground, waiting to be cooked, and his eyes were shining with eagerness.

He rolled up his sleeves without hesitation and squatted lightly in front of the smoothly polished chopping board, looking ready to go.

Dabao happened to pass by and stopped curiously. He raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly, "Hey, the sun is rising from the west today? You can catch fish too?"

As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Hearing this, Erbao raised his chin slightly, his face filled with confidence and a slightly childish smugness, as if to say, "How difficult is this?"
