The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

She was never stingy with the money she gave to her parents. That money was originally intended for her father to buy medicine, and she also bought things for them often. However, she had considered that outsiders might misunderstand that she was using her mother's family's money, and even if she gave gifts to the Xie family's elders, they might still be reluctant and unwilling to accept them, so she gave up.

Now, everyone knew that she was well off thanks to Xie Yi. She openly purchased a large amount of food for her parents' home, and naturally she could not neglect her parents-in-law.

"These are specially prepared for Dad and you. Take them back and enjoy them quietly. Don't be reluctant to eat them. Health is the capital of revolution. You two old people work so hard every day. It's time to nourish your bodies. After you finish eating, I will let Brother Yi buy more for you."

"This..." Xie's mother seemed a little embarrassed, "Isn't this too expensive?"

Xu Xiufang quickly explained: "These were all bought with Brother Yi's salary."

Upon hearing this, Xie's mother immediately hugged the two cans of malted milk tightly, tears flashing in her eyes: "We have received your kindness, I will take these two cans back first, and don't buy more next time. Save more money for Sanbao and the baby in your belly. There will be many places to spend money in the future, understand?"

After that, she happily moved the things back into the house one by one.

Xu Xiufang looked at her mother-in-law's back and thought to herself: My mother-in-law is really lovely.

Xu Xiufang did intend to send food to her parents' home, but she did not plan to use the ordinary food in the village.

Last year she hadn't realized that the food in her own space was more nutritious than that in the outside world, but now that she knew it, she decided to use the food in her space as gifts instead.

At this moment, Xu Xiufang was full of gratitude for the magical thought exchange function in the space. Otherwise, she really would not be able to realize this idea.

She contacted the brothers of Xie Yi's transport team for help and transported the grain directly to the capital.

Thanks to Xie Yi, this time even the step of transporting the goods to the county town was skipped. The transport team's vehicles drove directly into the village, and the roaring sound of the engines attracted a crowd of villagers to watch.

When everyone learned that Xie Yi drove such a vehicle to work, they all looked at him with envy.

After the food was delivered and the weather became colder, Xu Xiufang went out less often.

Shortly after a heavy snowfall, Dabao and Erbao were on vacation at home because of their final exams.

On the day of receiving their report cards, the two children went out excitedly before dawn.

When they returned, their noses and ears were red from the cold.

Xu Xiufang had already prepared some hot ginger soup and called on them to come and ward off the cold.

"Hiss——" Erbao was also shivering from the cold. He impatiently picked up the ginger soup and wanted to drink it in big gulps. He was almost scalded by the boiling soup, "It's so hot!"

"Drink slowly, be careful not to burn it."

Xu Xiufang hurriedly checked and asked with concern, "Are you not burned?"

"It's okay hehe."

Erbao smiled mischievously, puffed up his cheeks and blew hard, trying to make the soup cool down faster.

Xu Xiufang turned to look at her eldest son who was quietly drinking soup beside her. The huge difference in the personalities of the twins often made her sigh.

"Where's the transcript?"

Xu Xiufang asked, "Show it to mom?"

Upon hearing this, Dabao carefully took out the test paper from his schoolbag.

Xu Xiufang took it and saw that the handwriting on the test paper was neat and the pages were tidy. She had got full marks in both courses.

"That's great!"

Xu Xiufang praised generously.

When Dabao heard this, a bright smile bloomed on his handsome little face, like the warm sunshine in spring, warming people's hearts.

Xu Xiufang's heart was filled with pride. This was her son, her pride!

Then, she turned her gaze to Erbao, who grinned and said, "Mom, I didn't do as well as my big brother..."

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows, "How many points? Let mom take a look too."

Erbao handed over the test paper generously. Xu Xiufang took a look and saw that he scored 80 points in Chinese, and a little higher in mathematics, 88 points.

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows slightly. This result was better than she expected.

In fact, although Erbao is not particularly keen on studying, he can basically complete the homework assigned by Xu Xiufang on time.

In addition, as the class discipline committee member, he always wanted to set an example and did not dare to be distracted easily during class. This "forced" concentration invisibly improved his learning efficiency, so his grades naturally would not be too bad.

Of course, in Erbao’s innocent eyes, the numbers on the report card seemed to lack some momentum. After all, his elder brother’s grades were like twin stars, with full marks in both subjects, dazzling and eye-catching.

But he didn't mind it at all. With a carefree smile on his face, he acted coquettishly to his mother: "Mom, even though my grades are not as good as my big brother's, I am very strong. Even if the two big brothers were tied together, they couldn't bend my little arm!"

After saying this, he deliberately puffed out his cheeks, appearing particularly confident.

Dabao glanced at him lightly with a look of pampering and tolerance in his eyes, and thought: Never mind, it's good to let him have some confidence. After all, every child has his or her own shining points.

"Yes," Xu Xiufang's face was filled with a gentle smile, like the warm sunshine of spring, illuminating the entire room, "Our second child is also the pride of his mother. Everyone has his or her own strengths."

When Erbao heard this, the pride in his heart was as bright as the summer sunshine. If he wasn't wrapped in thick winter clothes, he would have wanted to take off his coat immediately and show his mother his tender but energetic little muscles to prove that he was indeed a little man.

Xu Xiufang asked a question seemingly casually, with curiosity and expectation in her eyes: "Erbao, do you know that my elder brother wants to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the future? Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?"

"I want to be a soldier!"

As soon as Erbao mentioned this topic, his eyes immediately flashed with excitement, as if he had put on a military uniform and stood on the front line of defending the country.

Ever since he watched that heroic movie in the cinema on his birthday, the dream of becoming a brave soldier took root and grew in his young heart.

Xu Xiufang heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by full of tenderness and encouragement, "You want to join the army? This is a very brave choice."

"Ok!"

Erbao nodded heavily and waved his little fist in the air a few times, his expression serious and determined, as if he was already a warrior of justice at this moment, "I will protect everyone and drive away all the bad guys, let them know that we are not to be trifled with!"

Xu Xiufang's eyes sparkled with pride and satisfaction. Although she never demanded that her children achieve brilliant achievements, if they could have their own dreams and work hard for them, that would be the best gift.

Although being a soldier is a difficult journey, it is also a respectable choice.

As a mother, Xu Xiufang naturally felt some worry and reluctance in her heart, but when she saw Erbao's eyes sparkling with hope when he talked about joining the army, how could she bear to extinguish that innocent enthusiasm with cold water?
