The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Erbao was completely unaware that he had angered his eldest brother, and continued to tease him, "You look just like my dad when he has no expression, like he has facial paralysis."

Xie Yi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

At this time, Xu Xiufang and Xiaobao, who were sitting around the radio in the house, were attracted by Erbao's loud crying outside the door.

Xiaobao slid down from the bed swiftly, ran to the door with his short legs and peeked in. He came back skipping and jumping to report to his mother: "Mommy, Dad and big brother are chasing the second brother in the yard!"

Xu Xiufang sighed in her heart. She loved and hated Erbao's trouble-making character. She wanted to protect him but it was too late.

She was just about to tell Xiaobao to mind his own business and go back to bed and be a good boy - after all, Xie Yi and Dabao knew their limits and wouldn't really do anything to Erbao.

Unexpectedly, when Xiaobao heard her words, his eyes lit up, his legs kicked, and he said excitedly: "I'll go see how my second brother is doing!"

Xu Xiufang had a helpless look on her face and thought: Child, you really are just trying to create chaos in the world!

I have to admit that as he grows older, Xiaobao's naughty nature becomes more and more obvious.

Xu Xiufang turned off the radio, stood up and walked towards the door. However, when she walked out the door, the "battle" outside had subsided, and Xie Yi was in the kitchen with Dabao and Erbao, seriously learning how to cook.

Dabao listened attentively to his father's instructions, while Erbao was busy chasing Xiaobao away, "Go away, don't get in the way here!"

"I'm just taking a look!"

Xiaobao puffed his cheeks in protest.

"Do you know how dangerous the kitchen is?"

Erbao said anxiously, "You didn't even know how to hide when the oil splashed!"

"Who said I can't hide?"

Xiaobao was pushed out by Erbao, but he still refused to admit defeat, "Brother, you underestimate me, I am very smart!"

"You're the only one who's clever?"

Erbao looked disgusted.

"I'm just clever!"

Xiaobao pouted, "Much smarter than you!"

Erbao was choked by Xiaobao's words and was speechless. He secretly sighed in his heart: At home, he seems to have no authority at all. His parents and elder brother are fine, but now even Xiaobao doesn't take him seriously!

How can this be? We have to let him know how powerful we are!

So, Erbao got angry and grabbed Xiaobao by the collar, imitating his father's behavior and lifted Xiaobao up.

Xiaobao's feet suddenly left the ground and his face changed with fright.

Erbao imitated his father's serious look and glared at Xiaobao fiercely: "Are you scared? If you are, get out of here! Otherwise, I will really beat you up!"

There was a hint of threat and a hint of joking in his tone, but more of it was a deep love for this family.

Xiaobao's screams broke the silence of the kitchen. With a bit of panic and pleading, his voice trembled: "Okay, okay, put me down, I'll go out right away!"

As he spoke, his round eyes were filled with a pleading look, and there were still traces of tears on his little face.

"Don't come back if you go out," Erbao deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be a little adult, but there was an imperceptible tenderness in his tone, "Your mission is to accompany mom, understand?"

His words revealed the tacit understanding and distribution of responsibilities among brothers, and his seriousness made people laugh.

The brothers have already formed a tacit division of labor. Dabao and Erbao take on the heavy housework at home, while Xiaobao is given the sweetest task - to accompany his mother and add a touch of color to his mother's life with his innocence and laughter.

"Yeah," Xiaobao nodded quickly, a flattering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes narrowed into two crescents, "I'll go accompany mom now."

His voice was full of childish joy, as if the shock he had just experienced had disappeared.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiufang appeared at the kitchen door. She was wearing a light blue cotton skirt, as light as the wind, with a gentle smile on her face, but it couldn't hide her slightly bulging belly.

Seeing this, Erbao quickly let go of Xiaobao, walked forward quickly, and carefully held his mother's hand, his eyes full of tension and concern: "Mom, why did you go into the kitchen? It's too dangerous here, get out!"

There was unquestionable determination in his voice, and his small body seemed to have become the guardian of his mother at this moment.

Xiaobao was not willing to be left behind. He jumped over to his mother and gently placed one hand on her arm. His little face was full of worry that was not in line with his age. His clear eyes were fixed on Xu Xiufang, afraid that she would make a mistake.

"daughter in law?"

Xie Yi was busy on the other side of the kitchen. Hearing the noise, he involuntarily quickened his movements. He turned around and looked at Xu Xiufang, with a hint of surprise and heartache in his eyes.

He thought his wife was hungry, so he comforted her, "Wife, go sit out for a while, I'll be right there. Dabao, go make a bowl of malted milk for mom."

Xu Xiufang felt mixed emotions. The feeling of being cared for so meticulously by her family made her feel as if she was not pregnant, but had a serious illness that required meticulous care.

But her heart was filled with more warmth and gratitude.

"Stop, I'm not hungry yet," Xu Xiufang gently waved her hand to stop Dabao who was about to move. Her voice was soft but firm. "You guys continue to be busy. I just came out to walk around. It's good for the baby."

After saying that, she took Xiaobao's hand, and the mother and son slowly walked out of the kitchen, leaving behind a series of warm backs.

On the bluestone road in the yard, the mother and son strolled leisurely. Occasionally, they could faintly hear the sound of Xie Yi patiently instructing Dabao and Erbao in cooking in the kitchen. That voice was full of family harmony and happiness.

Although the nature of Xie Yi's work prevents him from returning home on time every day, whenever he is able to leave work early, the kitchen is always filled with the laughter of his family.

Under the guidance of their father, Dabao and Erbao's cooking skills improved day by day. One is very talented and can master things quickly; the other, after the last lesson, relied on his unyielding spirit to study hard.

Although their dishes are not as exquisite as those of Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang, they also have their own flavor. Especially seeing Xu Xiufang always enjoy the food with gusto, for them, that is the greatest encouragement and the motivation for their continuous improvement.

Xu Xiufang's physical condition is surprisingly good. Apart from becoming sensitive to certain tastes after pregnancy, she has almost no discomfort. She has a good appetite, good sleep quality, and is full of energy.

Even so, she still decided to go for a pregnancy check-up. This was not only a responsibility to herself, but also a respect and expectation for the upcoming little life.

However, the medical conditions in the small town were limited, and many necessary examinations could not be performed. In order to ensure that everything went well, she and Xie Yi decided to go into the city for a comprehensive examination.

Xie Yi's thoughtfulness and support made this trip both thoughtful and warm.

When informing her mother-in-law of the decision, Xie's mother's reaction was full of typical elder-like worry and confusion, but after Xu Xiufang's patient explanation, she finally chose to support it.
