The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xu Xiufang looked at him with mixed feelings. She couldn't find the right words to respond for a moment. She could only nod silently, burying the complicated emotions deep in her heart.

After all the noise died down, Xu Xiufang slowly opened the letter sent by her elder brother.

The letter was unfolded, the handwriting was neat and familiar. The eldest brother was as delicate as ever, but he cleverly avoided all the truth between the lines, leaving only warm advice, asking her to take good care of herself, and promised that he would find time to visit her once he was done with this busy period.

"Hey, just keep talking tough," Xu Xiufang snorted softly, with a disdainful yet somewhat helpless smile on her lips, "I'm waiting to see the day when you regret it!"

Her mind was as clear as a mirror. The memories of her previous life told her that Zhou Lijuan had pursued her eldest brother for three years desperately, until she became discouraged and decided to give up and look for new happiness. The eldest brother, who always insisted that he had no feelings for Zhou Lijuan, saw that Zhou Lijuan was about to marry someone else, and a trace of almost uncontrollable anxiety flashed in his eyes, and then he tried desperately to win her back.

By that time, Zhou Lijuan's heart for her elder brother had already cooled. If it weren't for a misunderstanding, Zhou Lijuan mistakenly thought that her elder brother had died while on a mission, and if she hadn't cried bitterly and re-examined her feelings, perhaps their story would have come to an end long ago.

While recalling, Xu Xiufang unfolded Zhou Lijuan's letter again.

In the letter, Zhou Lijuan was frank and straightforward, making no secret of her identity as the eldest brother's suitor. She talked about how after being rejected many times, she decided to adopt a roundabout strategy, hoping that with the help of Xu Xiufang, she could get closer to the eldest brother's heart.

She gave a detailed account of her family background and personal experience, her words full of longing for the future. At the same time, she solemnly promised that this was no joke, and if this was inappropriate, she hoped Xu Xiufang would pretend that she had never received the letter.

Xu Xiufang curled her lips into a smile. This future sister-in-law was as witty and lovable as ever.

An idea quietly took root in her mind: why not go with the flow and help boost the love between her elder brother and his wife? So she picked up her pen and began to write back to Zhou Lijuan seriously.

The days passed by calmly and warmly like flowing water. Xiaoyun grew up quickly. The rosy cheeks that were unique to babies gradually faded away, and her facial features became more and more delicate.

Interestingly, although Xie Yi’s shadow can be vaguely seen in some subtle details, overall, Xiaoyun looks more like Xu Xiufang.

Her skin was as white and delicate as the first snow, her eyelashes were thick and curled, and underneath them were a pair of big eyes as clear and bright as black gemstones.

When she is not smiling, those eyes look silly and cute; when she cries, she is charming and lovable.

Her clear and pleasant laughter touches people's hearts and is irresistible.

Xie Yi often said to his wife: "You must have been so lovable when you were a child."

He himself did not keep any childhood photos for some reason, but Xu Xiufang grew up in a wealthy family, and every moment of her growth was recorded by her family with cameras. Those photos decorated every corner of the room.

Xu Xiufang was naturally clear about what she looked like when she was a child. Although Xiaoyun was not exactly the same as her when she was a child, the 70% similarity was enough to make people feel emotional.

With his wife's approval, Xie Yi doted on Xiaoyun even more, almost to the point of granting her every request.

Whenever he saw that little face that was so similar to his wife, the softness in his heart was completely awakened, and he couldn't bear to refuse her no matter what.

Xiaoyun is particularly dependent on her mother and always smiles brightly whenever she sees Xu Xiufang.

Sometimes, even when she was held by her father, she would still babble and wave her little hands. Behind those random movements was her desire to find her mother.

Xie Yi could always understand his daughter's thoughts. Whenever Xu Xiufang was not busy, he would follow her like a little tail, holding Xiaoyun.

For example, when Xu Xiufang was washing up, he would hold Xiaoyun and "explain" beside her: "Mom is brushing her teeth and washing her face."

Xiaoyun would respond with a "yayaya" sound.

Xie Yi would continue to say jokingly: "Xiao Yun wants her mother to hold her?

Can I wait until mommy finishes brushing her teeth before I hug you?

"But you can't hold her for too long. Xiaoyun has grown up, and her arms and legs can't stand the test of long periods of time. Xiaoyun needs to know how to feel sorry for her, okay?"

Xiaoyun babbled again, as if expressing her understanding.

"Xiaoyun, do you think mom is beautiful too? Dad thinks so too."

Xie Yi's words were full of tenderness. When Xu Xiufang heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and her mouthwash sprayed all over the floor. She glared at Xie Yi with both anger and amusement.

"What on earth are you telling her?"

She asked.

Xie Yi looked innocent and asked seriously, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Xu Xiufang smiled and thought, Sanbao must have been a very ridiculous child when he was a child.

She quickly finished washing up, took Xiaoyun from Xie Yi, kissed her soft face gently, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to daddy, our Xiaoyun is still young, mommy can hold her. Be good, Xiaoyun is the best~"

Xie Yi had no choice but to take her toiletries and reluctantly went into the house to put them in order.

This scene was repeated the next day, as if it had become a warm little daily routine between them.

Time flies, the two-month vacation is gone in a flash, and Xie Yi has to return to work.

When they were leaving, he hugged Xu Xiufang tightly, full of reluctance: "If I had known earlier, I would have asked for two more months of leave!"

Xu Xiufang couldn't help laughing, she knew very well that in the world of novels, Xie Yi was an out-and-out workaholic, which was one of the reasons why he could quickly accumulate strength and compete with Zhou Qifeng.

Who could have expected that in this life, he would become so family-oriented, and that career no longer seemed to be everything in his life?

Of course, Xie Yi only showed this attachment and tenderness in front of Xu Xiufang.

To the outside world, he is still the cold and efficient Xie Yi.

……

When Xu Xiufang gave birth, Xiaobao followed her two brothers to school for the first time. She felt like she had discovered a new world, and from then on she happily followed her older brothers to school - in fact, what she longed for more was to follow her second brother on adventures in the wild.

However, as Xie Yi went to work, Xiaobao no longer accompanied him and stayed at home to help his mother take care of his younger sister.

Of course, every afternoon after school, the eldest brother would come home and take over the task of taking care of Xiaoyun, and she would happily go out to play with her second brother.

Soon, the elementary school also ushered in the summer vacation, and the holiday life of Dabao and Erbao officially began.

On the first day, Xiaoyun's morning cry broke the silence. Xu Xiufang was awakened. She gently picked up Xiaoyun and was about to breastfeed her when the doorbell rang.

The next day, when I opened the door, I saw Dabao and Erbao standing outside. They said seriously, "Mom, you worked hard to take care of your sister last night. Let us take care of your sister today. You can go back to sleep."

Xu Xiufang looked at the bottle in Dabao's hand and the diaper in Erbao's hand in surprise. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help asking, "Did Dad teach you all this?"
