The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 167 Country Doctor

Especially Xu Xiufang, a woman who once had a glorious past, is now willing to live in seclusion here, taking care of her husband and children. This choice of being indifferent to fame and fortune makes Teacher Xiao Zhou unconsciously have some complex emotions in his eyes when he looks at Xu Xiufang, both admiration and a hint of regret.

After all, with Xu Xiufang's beauty and family background, she should have had a more glamorous life, but the reality...

Just as Teacher Zhou's thoughts were wandering between history and reality, Xiaobao, the innocent little boy, came over carefully holding a cup of warm water, with seriousness written all over his little face.

Teacher Zhou thought the water was prepared for her. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, Xiaobao handed it directly to her mother and said in a baby voice, "Mom, you coughed last night. You need to drink more water if you have a cold!"

"Silly child, Mom doesn't have a cold, but thank you anyway, Xiaobao is so thoughtful."

Xu Xiufang took the cup of water gently, her eyes full of doting, and then turned to Xiaobao and said, "Good boy, go and pour another glass of water for Teacher Xiao Zhou. When guests come, you must take care of them first."

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

Xiao Bao agreed happily, and ran to the kitchen with a clear and pleasant voice, "Teacher Xiao Zhou, wait a moment, I will be back soon!"

Teacher Xiao Zhou watched Xiao Bao leave with a warm smile on his face, and secretly admired in his heart: "Xiao Bao is such a sensible and filial child."

After some casual greetings, Xu Xiufang keenly noticed that Teacher Zhou seemed to have something else to say, perhaps because Dabao and Erbao were present and he couldn't speak.

So, she quietly told Dabao to take Xiaoyun out for a walk, while Erbao and Xiaobao began to busy themselves with preparing lunch.

Teacher Zhou was surprised to see the children doing their housework in an orderly manner: "Are they always so capable at home?"

Xu Xiufang smiled and nodded, her tone full of pride: "Yes, they are all very obedient, always rushing to do housework, sometimes I can't even help."

If such words came from someone else, Teacher Zhou might have some reservations, fearing that the parents were deliberately beautifying their children in front of the teacher.

But Xu Xiufang is different. Her hands are well maintained, white and slender, and you can tell at a glance that she is not someone who has been working for a long time. And her face, although she has given birth to four children and is about 27 or 28 years old, her skin is still as delicate and firm as a girl. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the elder sister of Xie Kailin and Xie Kaiwen.

Teacher Xiao Zhou felt a sense of respect in his heart. He was able to maintain such a detached attitude in the complicated life, to have a beloved partner by his side, and such well-behaved and smart children. This kind of life is what many people dream of.

"Teacher Xiao Zhou?"

Seeing that Teacher Zhou was staring at her in a trance, Xu Xiufang waved her hand gently, interrupting his thoughts.

Teacher Xiao Zhou suddenly came back to her senses, her cheeks slightly red, and she smiled awkwardly, then got back to the point: "Sorry, I came here today because I actually have something to talk to you about."

"Is it because our second child Kevin is too naughty at school?"

Xu Xiufang asked with concern. After all, Dabao had always behaved well, and it was hard to imagine that there was anything that required a special home visit.

However, Teacher Xiao Zhou's visit is indeed closely related to Dabao.

Xu Xiufang immediately had numerous guesses in her mind. Was it because Dabao was too obedient? Was his grades too good? Was it because Teacher Zhou came to praise him? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head in self-mockery, thinking that her thoughts were too naive.

In fact, Teacher Zhou looked a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Xu Xiufang, I actually want to know, have you considered letting Kailin become a rural doctor in the future?"

Xu Xiufang was surprised and puzzled when she heard this: "Why would you think so?"

"This semester I noticed that Kailin was often absent-minded in class and was always secretly flipping through some medical books."

Teacher Xiao Zhou frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone.

In the eyes of Teacher Xiao Zhou, the eldest child, Xie Kailin, is a student with excellent character and academic performance. He is usually taciturn, and his behavior reveals a calmness and indifference beyond his age, which is in sharp contrast to the lively and active second child.

She even felt that it was quite difficult to enter Dabao's inner world.

In addition, the school's teaching content was mostly limited to textbook knowledge, and Teacher Zhou did not delve into a wider range of knowledge in class. Therefore, she did not know that Dabao had already completed all the primary school courses through self-study.

The reason why he could easily get full marks in every exam was simply because of the full mark setting of the test paper!

Following his mother's plan, Dabao mainly studied English and calligraphy last year.

Taking into account the particularity of English, Xu Xiufang chose to personally teach at home and told Dabao not to mention this matter at school.

Therefore, when Dabao was in school, he often used his spare time to practice calligraphy. Even in class, he would practice writing while listening to the lectures, and occasionally look up to observe the teacher's explanations. Teacher Xiao Zhou mistakenly believed that Dabao was concentrating on taking notes, thus creating the illusion that Dabao was focused on learning.

Students like Dabao who seem to be fully focused can often easily win the favor of the teacher.

Therefore, when Teacher Zhou found that Dabao was frequently distracted in class and reading medical books recently, he couldn't help but feel worried.

She never expected that behind all this, there was a completely different story hidden.

In Xiao Zhou's opinion, rural children usually study medical materials in order to pass exams and become rural doctors to improve their family conditions.

The widespread "theory that studying is useless" in society has made working and earning work points be seen as a more practical way of life.

Based on these considerations, Xiao Zhou became more and more convinced that Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang might be interested in training Dabao to become a rural doctor, so he decided to go to their house to persuade them:

"Xu Xiufang, there's no need to rush to make a conclusion about Kailin's future. As long as he continues to study hard, he may be admitted to a high school or even be recommended to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University..."

"Wait a moment," Xu Xiufang said with a hint of helplessness but a gentle smile, gently interrupting Teacher Zhou's brilliant thoughts: "I deeply feel your care and concern, but we don't plan for Kailin's future to become a barefoot doctor walking in the fields. The reason why he is immersed in these medical books is purely due to his curiosity and desire for the unknown world deep in his heart."

"perhaps……"

Teacher Xiao Zhou's mind was like a wild horse running wild, and he came up with a new hypothesis, "Could it be that Kailin cares about his family and feels sorry for your hard work, so he wants to learn medicine on his own to share the burden for the family?"

Xu Xiufang couldn't help laughing in her heart. Although these associations were made with good intentions, they were really wild and imaginative.
