The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"Fortunately."

Xie Yi closed his eyes and answered calmly, "It's just a job."

"It's just work, there's no point in talking about whether I'm happy or not."

Xu Xiufang sighed and snuggled a little closer, "Have you ever thought about quitting your job?"

Xie Yi opened his eyes and seemed a little surprised, "Resign?"

"Ah."

Xu Xiufang continued, "Do you remember what I said before that I would go back to Beijing to take the college entrance examination? I said that if I go back to Beijing, you must go with me."

How could Xie Yi forget every bit of their struggle together over the years? Every detail was engraved on his heart like a carving.

Xu Xiufang's eyes sparkled with hope as she continued, "I originally envisioned that once the college entrance examination admission notices arrived, the children's household registration issues would be solved. As I moved to Beijing and all the formalities were completed, they would be able to start a new learning journey in this bustling city. At that time, we will do our best to find an ideal school for Erbao and Xiaobao."

Her words revealed a beautiful vision for the future. "If luck favors us and we find a suitable school, then Beijing will be a new starting point for us to settle down and build a career. On the contrary, if it fails, you can temporarily take Erbao and Xiaobao back to their hometown and let them complete a semester of study there until next September, when we will try to transfer them again. As for Dabao, he has already shown extraordinary wisdom, and the junior class will be his stage; Xiaoyun is still young and needs his mother's company, so I will accompany him in Beijing as he grows up slowly."

"Well," Xie Yi responded briefly but firmly, and then asked curiously: "Then how have your thoughts changed now?"

Xu Xiufang smiled brightly, as if the clouds had suddenly cleared and the sun had come out. "I suddenly realized now that my previous worries were too groundless! Over the years, we have been accustomed to relying on our own hands to create a life, so much so that I almost ignored the power of my family. My grandfather was an old soldier who devoted his life to the country. How could he let his great-grandson not even have the opportunity to receive a good education? Even if I really encounter difficulties, my parents, the academic elites of the time, with their accumulated connections and resources, can always help, right?"

Xie Yi was amused by her sudden and enlightened remarks, and the corners of his mouth rose naturally.

When Xu Xiufang saw her husband's smile, she also laughed like a silver bell.

She admitted that she was in a fog for a while, but even in confusion, she would never let this family fall apart and make the distance of family affection become out of reach.

My second child is about to enter junior high school, and his academic burden is becoming increasingly heavy. With the restoration of the college entrance examination system, the school's education system will become more complete and strict.

Although Erbao is smart and lively, it is still unknown whether he can adapt smoothly without the supervision and guidance of his parents and older brother.

Xiaobao is innocent and at the age when he loves to play. As a mother, Xu Xiufang would inevitably feel uneasy and reluctant if she left him alone in her hometown.

Changing the topic, Xu Xiufang turned her focus to Xie Yi: "Now that Erbao and Xiaobao's problems have been solved, we have to make some plans for you."

"I resign."

Xie Yi made the decision without hesitation. As he spoke, he hugged his wife tightly, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, his eyes full of affection and commitment to his family. "I'm not going anywhere. I just want to stay by your side."

Xu Xiufang snuggled in his arms and responded softly.

In her heart, she never wanted to be separated from him for a long time unless it was absolutely necessary.

A family should be together and depend on each other.

Outsiders may view Xie Yi's job in the transport team as a stable job, but for this couple with ample financial resources and keen insight into future economic trends, it is not something that cannot be given up.

"When we return to the capital, we can live in my mother's house first and slowly look for a house suitable for our small family."

Xu Xiufang's eyes sparkled with confidence. "Although the real estate market is tight at the moment, with our financial strength, it's only a matter of time before we find the house we want."

Xie Yi responded gently: "If you want, it would be good for you to stay at my mother's house for a long time. After all, that is your home. For me, wherever you are, that is my home."

Xu Xiufang shook her head slightly, her eyes flickering with a desire for an independent life. "Living at my mom's house is certainly cozy, and my parents will definitely welcome it, but I'm more looking forward to having a little world that truly belongs to us. Beijing can visit us anytime, so it doesn't matter whether I live at my parents' house or not."

Xie Yi readily accepted his wife's idea.

"But you have to be mentally prepared," Xu Xiufang pinched his cheek playfully with a sly smile on her face, "In the short term, you have to play the role of a full-time nanny!"

Considering that she and Dabao and Erbao will all be busy with their studies and have no time to take care of Xiaoyun, Xu Xiufang suggested that Xie Yi take on the responsibility of taking care of Xiaoyun.

At present, the market economy has not yet emerged, and returning to Beijing directly to engage in business is undoubtedly full of risks.

Since Xie Yi has decided to resign, he is unwilling to return to the routine work mode. In comparison, he prefers to arrange his time and life freely.

While taking care of Xiaoyun at home, he can also closely follow market trends, which is undoubtedly the most ideal life state for him.

Xie Yi understood and agreed with his wife's arrangement, and was willing to be the "house husband" who cooked delicious food for her and created a warm family atmosphere.

Just seeing his wife's smug look made him feel the urge to tease her.

result……

Xu Xiufang tried hard to hold back her smile, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she was almost about to break it.

Fortunately, Erbao was concentrating on asking Dabao various questions. His thirst for knowledge made it difficult to disturb him, and he was completely unaware of the subtle changes in the atmosphere around him.

And Xiaoyun is just an innocent little kid, she is still ignorant about the adult world.

Xie's mother was almost the first to learn about Xu Xiufang's preparation for the college entrance examination.

Her first reaction was exactly the same as Erbao's worry. She was worried that if Xu Xiufang passed the exam, she would leave the family and go far away, leaving them an orphan and a widow.

Such thoughts made her feel mixed emotions.

During these two years, Xie's mother tried her best to understand and support Xu Xiufang's pursuit, but the long-standing traditional concepts were like deep-rooted vines that tightly bound her heart.

In her opinion, women should put their families first, and supporting their husbands and raising children is the only way to maintain family harmony.

What worries her even more is that if Xu Xiufang really gets into university and becomes an educated woman, coupled with her enviable family background, will she still be willing to spend the rest of her life with Xie Yi, a native rural man?
