The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

During Xu Xiufang's pregnancy, Qin Yunli specially sent a basket of fresh eggs as a blessing.

Xu Xiufang was grateful for the neighborly love and gave a pound of fine brown sugar in return. The friendship between the two families became even deeper through this interaction.

The hustle and bustle of the Spring Festival gradually subsided, and Xie Yi returned to work. Dabao and Erbao also returned to school with their schoolbags, full of anticipation.

Xu Xiufang stayed at home, carefully nurturing her pregnancy while taking good care of Xiaobao, who was about to turn four. Xiaobao was becoming more sensible and no longer needed constant care. He could occasionally go out to play with the family dog ​​Xiaole, which made Xu Xiufang feel very relieved.

With Xiaole's company, she was able to enjoy the pleasure of reading with peace of mind, and her mind found a moment of peace.

In March, all things come back to life, and villagers are busy with spring ploughing. The fields are once again full of vitality.

In her spare time at home, Xu Xiufang came up with the idea of ​​growing vegetables. While the men in the family were out, she quietly picked up a hoe and planned to open a small vegetable garden in the backyard.

To prevent Xiaobao from revealing the secret, she whispered to him, "Mommy wants to grow some vegetables in the backyard. Please don't tell Dad and my brothers, okay?"

Xiao Bao's round little face was full of childish seriousness. He shook his head firmly: "No, Dad and my brothers said that Mommy is pregnant now and can't do heavy work. I have to protect Mommy!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiufang took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket. Xiaobao's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement and his little hand reached out impatiently.

However, Xu Xiufang deliberately retracted her hand and said with a smile: "Promise mom first before I give you candy."

Xiao Bao's face became stern. He shook his head stubbornly, put his hands on his hips, and refused seriously: "No, I can't agree to this!"

Xu Xiufang was speechless for a moment. It was obvious that the little guy could not be easily persuaded by a piece of candy.

She raised her eyebrows slyly and decided to change her strategy. For a little foodie like Xiaobao, one more candy might be the turning point.

Like a magician, Xu Xiufang produced a colorful fruit candy from her other pocket. Xiaobao swallowed unconsciously, staring at the tempting candy, stretched out his hand and quickly retracted it, closing his eyes tightly, muttering to himself: "Xiaobao has principles, and will not be tempted by Mommy! No, no, no, I will never look at it!"

Xu Xiufang couldn't help laughing and took out another piece of chocolate from her bag. Xiaobao heard the sound and secretly opened one eye. When he saw it was chocolate, his eyes widened immediately, he grabbed the candy and quickly hid it in his pocket. Xu Xiufang suppressed her smile and gently pinched Xiaobao's chubby cheeks, "If you eat the candy, you can't tell Dad and your brothers, otherwise Mommy will take the candy back!"

Xiao Bao seemed a little embarrassed because of his wavering position. He cleared his throat and solemnly reminded her: "Mommy, you can only be gone for a short while!"

"it is good."

Xu Xiufang agreed, then picked up the hoe and quietly went out.

However, when night fell, as soon as Dabao and Erbao entered the house, they asked directly: "Mommy, did you go to work in the fields today?"

Xu Xiufang turned her gaze towards Xiaobao, who looked at her with a flickering look in his eyes. He didn't dare to look at his mother, so he quickly pulled at his brother's sleeve, trying to change the subject: "Brother, what are we going to eat tonight?"

Dabao glanced at him and said calmly, "I've already had dinner."

Xiao Bao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Already eaten? Oh, yes, I have eaten, I almost forgot! Hehe."

Xu Xiufang narrowed her eyes and guessed something in her mind.

"Mommy!"

Erbao called out anxiously, his voice full of worry. "Huh?"

Xu Xiufang's heart tightened, and she immediately thought of her identity as a mother. How could she easily bow her head in front of her children? Just as she was about to show some dignity, Erbao had already surrounded her, extremely anxious, "Oh, Mommy! How can you go digging? You can't be tired in your current physical condition, do you know? It's really worrying! Oh, I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious!"

Faced with Erbao's anxious look, Xu Xiufang's newly established dignity instantly collapsed. She explained softly, "I just want to grow some vegetables to kill time..."

"Why don't you just tell me if you want to grow vegetables?" Erbao said with a hint of reproach in his tone, "Would I let you go without vegetables to eat?"

Xu Xiufang was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself: This child, the tone of his voice actually has a bit of that of a little adult?

“Can you grow vegetables now?”

Xu Xiufang tried to change the subject with a curious tone, with a gleam in her eyes.

"I can't do it myself, but I can ask Dad to teach me!"

Erbao answered confidently, with a determined light in his eyes.

Xu Xiufang turned to look at Dabao, her eyes full of help. Dabao caught her eyes, frowned immediately, and asked seriously: "Mommy, don't you realize that you are wrong?"

Xu Xiufang muttered in her heart: What did I do wrong? Children nowadays are so opinionated that even their mothers have to teach them a lesson?

However, looking at the serious expressions of Dabao and Erbao, and the innocent face of Xiaobao who said, "Although I told the secret, it was all for my own good," Xu Xiufang felt a warm current in her heart, mixed with a bit of helplessness and pride. The growth of children is always so inadvertent, which makes people both surprised and moved.

Xu Xiufang pursed her lips, and finally chose to obey public opinion, and softly said the words of apology: "Okay, I was wrong."

Although her voice was soft, it carried with it an imperceptible sense of helplessness and compromise, like a willow swaying in the wind, soft yet tough.

"That's right," Erbao put on a mature and steady look, his eyes sparkling with love and expectation for his mother, "Mom, you just have a good rest and take care of the baby. After school tomorrow, I will come to dig the ground myself, and then beg Dad to teach me how to grow vegetables, to ensure that there will never be a lack of fresh dishes on our family's table!"

His words were full of youthful passion and determination, as if his small shoulders were already carrying the whole family.

Xu Xiufang thought secretly in her heart, and a gleam of relief and helplessness flashed in her eyes: Well, let this kid give it a try, maybe he can really make a name for himself!

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Erbao unconsciously revealed a bit of the chivalrous spirit of a chivalrous warrior. He gently patted Xiaobao on the shoulder and said with approval: "Well done, brother."

This pat not only contained the encouragement from an elder brother, but also a bit of brotherly loyalty.

Xiaobao was stunned by this sudden praise and felt mixed emotions: Brother, your emotional intelligence is really unpredictable. You are so proud of yourself, but Mommy's sharp eyes are still locked on me!
