The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

His smile seemed to be a silent greeting to an invisible presence in the room.

The door closed gently, the smile on Zhou Lijuan's face gradually faded, and her eyes unconsciously drifted to the closed window opposite.

Xu Hengwen's heart trembled violently, as if penetrated by an invisible sight. The illusion of being discovered made him look away guiltily.

But soon he realized that the curtains in his room were closed and the room was dark, so it was impossible for people outside to see him.

This sense of security gave him the courage to look across again, but he saw Zhou Lijuan's face, which had been filled with happiness just now, now staring in his direction with unspeakable sadness in her eyes.

Xu Hengwen's heartbeat quickened again, and his eyes filled with sorrow seemed to be telling thousands of words.

He suddenly realized that she still had a place for him in her heart.

This realization was like a ray of light that penetrated the haze of the past few days, making his world bright and full of hope at this moment.

He was determined to confess everything to her and tell Zhou Lijuan his feelings. He couldn't lose her just like that! Xu Hengwen's heart had never been so determined. He rushed out of the door, just as the door of Zhou's house slowly closed, as if fate was urging him to act.

He quickened his pace, telling himself that as long as he knocked on the door and Zhou Lijuan appeared, he would take her away from this arranged meeting, no matter what the consequences.

However, the door opened quietly the moment he knocked, and a soft hand quickly grabbed him.

Xu Hengwen looked up and was stunned when he saw the man's face clearly. He subconsciously followed her into the house and leaned his back against the door. Everything happened so quickly that he was caught off guard.

"Xu Hengwen, you're here!"

Zhou Lijuan's voice was filled with unquestionable determination, and her eyes were fixed on him, as if she wanted to see through his soul.

"……Um."

Xu Hengwen responded reflexively, but his heart was filled with confusion, not understanding why things had turned out this way.

"Then why did you come?"

Zhou Lijuan asked, with a serious tone that could not be avoided, "This is the last time I will ask you!"

"I like you, and I can't stand seeing you talking about marriage with other people."

Xu Hengwen almost blurted out the answer, fearing that any hesitation would cause him to lose the opportunity before him.

Zhou Lijuan heard this and smiled smugly, "Then let's be together?"

"it is good!"

Xu Hengwen agreed without hesitation, his heart surging with unprecedented excitement.

Zhou Lijuan was overjoyed and was about to move forward to kiss him. Her smile was like the warm spring sunshine, which almost made Xu Hengwen lost.

When she stood on tiptoe and the gentle kiss was about to fall, Xu Hengwen suddenly woke up and realized the surrounding environment. He pushed Zhou Lijuan away.

Zhou Lijuan was confused by this sudden action and looked at him in confusion.

"It would be bad if your parents saw it."

Xu Hengwen straightened his clothes and looked around, but found that there was no one else in the room. He couldn't help but wonder, "Where are your parents?"

"not at home."

Zhou Lijuan's answer was concise and clear.

Xu Hengwen was even more confused. Wasn't today the day for the parents of both sides to meet?

"What about Wang Guobin?"

He couldn't help asking and even forgot to use the formal address he usually gave to Wang Guobin.

"I asked my cousin to leave through the back door."

Zhou Lijuan said lightly.

"cousin?"

Xu Hengwen captured the key information and suddenly realized, "Are you lying to me?"

"If I wasn't lying to you, would you have agreed to me so readily?"

There was a hint of cunning in Zhou Lijuan's eyes, as if threatening, "Or do you dislike me because you were deceived?"

"No," Xu Hengwen denied instinctively. He was actually touched by everything Zhou Lijuan had done for him, but... "Who taught you to do this?"

Zhou Lijuan pretended to be innocent: "... Couldn't it be that I came up with it myself?"

Xu Hengwen was choked by these words and was speechless, but Zhou Lijuan finally confessed: "It's your sister!"

Xu Hengwen was stunned, feeling mixed emotions.

"Your sister?"

He couldn't believe it.

Zhou Lijuan nodded, did not argue any further, and admitted everything.

At this time, outside the yard, Xu Xiufang and Xiaobao were playing around Xiaoyun with laughter.

Dabao and Erbao were busy picking beans and enjoying the pastoral fun.

Suddenly, Xu Xiufang sneezed several times, interrupting the tranquility.

Dabao asked worriedly, "Mom, did you catch a cold?"

When Xiaobao heard this, he immediately ran into the main room on his short legs and hurriedly found water for his mother.

Xu Xiufang smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I guess, maybe someone is talking about me behind my back."

When Erbao heard this, he immediately became alert and clenched his fists: "Who dares to say bad things about my mom? I'll teach him a lesson!"

Xu Xiufang shook her head helplessly, secretly hoping that this impulsive little guy would cause less trouble in the future.

"You, just behave yourself," Xu Xiufang patted his head and said earnestly, "Don't think about solving problems with your fists all the time."

She hopes her son can learn to deal with problems in a more mature way.

"hey-hey!"

Erbao grinned, looking clever, "Mom, if you don't like to hear it, I won't say it in front of you anymore."

"You clever fellow."

Xu Xiufang glanced at him sideways and was about to continue her education when a young woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting her thoughts.

"Excuse me, are the parents of Xie Kailin and Xie Kaiwen here?"

"It's Teacher Xiao Zhou."

Dabao recognized the person at a glance.

"I'll open the door!"

Erbao jumped up excitedly and rushed to the door.

Outside the door was the young female teacher they were familiar with, standing there with a warm smile.

Xu Xiufang held Xiaoyun in her arms and stood up lightly. A smile as warm as the spring sun blossomed on her face, and her voice was filled with joy and kindness: "Oh, Teacher Xiao Zhou is here. Welcome, welcome."

Teacher Xiao Zhou was wearing a neat shirt, plain trousers and a pair of clean cloth shoes, looking both professional and friendly.

She bowed slightly, a gentle smile on her lips, and replied, "Hello, Ms. Shen, I am here to make a home visit as planned, hoping to learn more about the children's situation outside of school."

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang quickly wiped the bench beside her, her movements were quick and meticulous, and then she warmly invited, "Teacher Zhou, please take a seat. My home is simple, please don't mind."

"No, no," Teacher Zhou looked around calmly as she sat down. Although the courtyard was simply decorated, it exuded a warm and rustic atmosphere. Every blade of grass and every tree showed the owner's care. This made her feel a little respect in her heart. It turned out that the couple Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang, who were rumored by the outside world, were indeed unique.

As a young teacher sent from the county town, Teacher Zhou had long heard of the celebrity families in this small village.
