The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 182 Keeping Promises

"Yes," she told him honestly, but she also did not forget to hide the deeper meaning in her words, hoping that Erbao would think twice before acting.

Erbao's response was crisp and decisive, and his determination was like the sunshine in a summer afternoon, warm and direct.

His words were full of desire for the future and trust in his friends. That pure friendship was like every summer afternoon they spent together, carefree and full of laughter.

There was a subtle hint of approval in Xu Xiufang's raised eyebrow, but also a mother's worry.

She knows very well that it is easy to make promises but difficult to put them into practice, but she is willing to give Erbao a chance to try, so that he can grow through challenges and gain from hard work.

"Row!"

Xu Xiufang's words contained encouragement, but also a hint of unquestionable seriousness.

Her eyes seemed to say that since she had made the decision, she should go all out and leave no regrets.

Erbao's response was loud and confident, and the heroic action of patting his chest made people feel moved by his courage.

There was determination in his eyes, as if he could already see himself standing in the fifth grade classroom. That confidence was enough to illuminate the way forward.

Xu Xiufang's encouragement was like warm sunshine, shining into Erbao's heart, nourishing the seeds in his heart and making them grow stronger.

At that moment, fifth grade was no longer an unattainable goal for him, but a journey that he was about to embark on.

And when the topic turned to Dabao, the interaction between the brothers was full of childishness and warmth.

Erbao's enthusiasm and Dabao's helplessness form a vivid family picture.

Dabao's pretended threatening kick, Erbao's clever dodge, and finally Dabao's shyness when facing his mother, all make this home full of love and laughter.

Although Dabao's answer was somewhat helpless, it also revealed his understanding and concern for his younger brother.

His words showed recognition of his second child's intelligence and talent, a little pride as an older brother, as well as worry and expectation for his younger brother's future learning path.

In this family, everyone supports each other in their own way and grows together.

Oh~, Xu Xiufang sighed softly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was like a flower blooming in spring, brighter and warmer.

The sunlight shines through the window and onto her face, giving her smile a soft golden edge.

Just like that, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and the breeze, this summer vacation, the rhythm of life of Dabao and Erbao completely changed, turning into a picture of studying hard.

The sound of turning pages, combined with the occasional sounds of children playing outside the window, form a unique summer symphony.

Erbao seems to have grown up overnight. He keeps his promise and takes study very seriously.

He not only completed every task that his mother carefully assigned on time, but also always impressed everyone with his outstanding performance that exceeded expectations.

As the vacation gradually came to an end, his progress was so fast that Xu Xiufang began to teach him fifth-grade knowledge in advance, and he was able to cope with it easily, with a desire for knowledge and a gleam of exploration in his eyes.

As for Dabao, Xu Xiufang has introduced him to a higher level of academic study - high school courses.

This is undoubtedly a huge leap, but there is no fear in Dabao's eyes, only curiosity about the unknown world and determination to challenge it.

Although Xiaobao's learning content is relatively simple and mainly focuses on literacy, his serious attitude is no less than that of his two older brothers.

The old radio at home has been given new life because of its recording function and has become a great helper for Xiaobao's studies.

Xu Xiufang's gentle voice flowed slowly through the radio, and the several recorded ancient poems were like nectar, nourishing Xiaobao's heart.

He followed the recording, word for word, in an immature yet powerful manner. Every successful recitation was a small milestone in his growth.

Whenever Xiaobao learns a new poem, he can’t wait to run to his mother and show his achievements in his clear childish voice. After he finishes reciting, his bright eyes are full of expectation, eager to get his mother’s praise.

When he is recognized, he will jump up and down excitedly, and his little figure will leave a trail of happy footprints in the house.

Xiaoyun, the little princess of the family, is so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.

Xie Yi's love for her was like the summer sunshine, omnipresent.

When he goes out, as long as he sees a toy suitable for Xiaoyun, he will buy it without hesitation and bring it back to that loving little home.

Xiaoyun can enjoy herself among those colorful little gadgets. Occasionally, when she looks up, as long as she can see her mother's gentle smile and her brothers' busy figures, she feels the greatest satisfaction.

Her needs are always so simple and direct. If she is hungry, peed, or wants a hug, she only needs to "baby" a few times and a warm embrace will appear in time to solve all her troubles.

However, Erbao's hard study did not completely isolate him from external temptations.

His friends, unable to bear the loneliness during the holiday, came to Xu Xiufang's house one after another, trying to call out Erbao, with whom they used to run and laugh.

Xiaole, the loyal guardian, made the children dare not approach easily, and they could only shout from afar: "Erbao! Thank you Kevin!"

There was a hint of anxiety and anticipation in his voice.

Erbao, who was concentrating on reciting a poem, was interrupted by the sudden call. He stood up, walked quickly to the door, looked at Guo Jiajun and others in the distance, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

"What are you doing at home? Come out and play!"

Guo Jiajun's voice pierced the air, carrying a hint of bewitchment.

Erbao looked at those expectant faces and wavered for a moment, but then he remembered his goal and shook his head firmly: "No!"

"What are you doing sitting at home? You act like a little aunt all day long."

Guo Jiajun's tone was a little rough, and he tried to provoke the opponent.

"I need to read books so that I can skip a grade! If you say I'm your aunt, I'll beat you up!"

Erbao showed no sign of weakness, and his words revealed a determination that should not be underestimated.

Guo Jiajun was far away and didn't care about Erbao's threat. Instead, when he heard Erbao say that he wanted to study, he almost laughed out loud.

He knew the temperament of this "big brother" very well, so he quickly changed his strategy and tried to persuade him with sympathy and understanding: "Did your parents force you to do this? I tell you, adults just like it..."

"no!"

Erbao interrupted decisively, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination, "I'm going back to study. Don't you guys want to join the army too? Then hurry home and study hard, prepare for the advanced examination, or you won't be able to keep up with me by then."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door slammed shut, leaving Guo Jiajun and others outside looking at each other in bewilderment. They were confused and puzzled by the connection between studying and joining the army that Erbao mentioned.

They simply didn't believe Erbao's claim that he wanted to concentrate on his studies.

In their hearts, Erbao is a notoriously naughty boy who hates reading the most.

Getting him to sit down quietly and study on weekdays is already a headache for him, let alone during this rare summer vacation. How could he possibly give up the opportunity to play?
