The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xiao Bao stepped back while talking, his eyes rolled, and when he saw the right moment, he ran away, not forgetting to turn around and say, "Brother, the vegetable garden is now in your hands. I'm going home to wash the dishes first, so that mom won't nag me again!"

His figure quickly disappeared around the corner, leaving only a string of crisp laughter echoing in the air.

"..."

Erbao reacted and yelled angrily: "You little bastard, you dare to play tricks on me, I will punish you when I get home!"

His voice echoed in the empty yard, but he could only shake his head helplessly and continue walking towards the vegetable garden.

On the other side, at Xie Yi's place, a family discussion was going on.

Xie's mother was still trying hard to persuade Xie Yi, hoping that he would not quit his job in the transport team.

"..."

Xie Yi suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mom, aren't you worried that my wife will run away while I'm working at home?"

There was a hint of joking in his tone, but also some seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Xie's mother was stunned, obviously not expecting her son to ask such a question.

Xie Yi then asked: "What do you think I should choose, a wife or a job?"

There was a determination in his eyes, as if he already knew the answer to this question.

Xie's mother was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

This question woke her up. If Xie Yi really stayed at home, what if the second daughter-in-law ran away?

After all, the second daughter-in-law is not only well-off and educated, but she also still looks as youthful and energetic as an eighteen-year-old girl. She is even prettier than many real eighteen-year-old girls. If she says she is single, probably people will believe it.

Once I return to the capital, I'm afraid I'll be flooded with suitors!

Thinking of this, Xie's mother felt torn and had mixed feelings.

Xie Yi added fuel to the fire: "Sanbao and the others followed my wife to the capital. If she doesn't come back, Sanbao and the others won't come back either!"

His words revealed deep worry, which made Xie's mother's heart tense.

"Oh my," Xie's mother was so anxious that she couldn't speak clearly, "Why don't you just go to the capital? It's better to be looked down upon than to lose your wife and children!"

In her opinion, family integrity is far more important than face.

……

Xie Yi's resignation almost made Jiang Chengping jump up, and his first words were a roar with some anger: "Is it because of your wife again?"

Xie Yi didn't like the sour taste when Jiang Chengping mentioned his wife, so he replied lightly: "Because of what's wrong with my wife?"

There was unquestionable determination in his tone.

Jiang Chengping then realized that when he mentioned Xu Xiufang, he inadvertently revealed some resentment that she was a burden to Xie Yi, which made Xie Yi unhappy.

He quickly adjusted his tone, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Ayi, you know what I mean. If you resign because you have a better opportunity, I will never stop you. Brother, I know your ability. Sooner or later, you will fly out of my nest! But... is it really like this?"

His words were full of worry, fearing that Xie Yi was acting on impulse.

Jiang Chengping almost scolded him for giving up on himself, but he swallowed the words back.

Xie Yi answered very firmly: "Yes!"

Jiang Chengping straightened his back suddenly, his eyes sparkling, "Where are you from?"

"Five years later," Xie Yi said slowly. As long as the market economy recovers as his wife predicted, he will be able to prove that his choice was correct and realize his ambitions.

Jiang Chengping heard this, his face was full of confusion: "..."

If there is a good place, why wait five years? This guy is actually using time to fool him!

He muttered to himself, this guy is really unpredictable!

No matter how Jiang Chengping's heart was turbulent, or whether he was willing to accept the fact that Xie Yi had decided to resign, the shackles of reality could not restrain Xie Yi's heart that yearned for freedom.

He could only force out a bitter smile, his tone mixed with helplessness and understanding, and slowly said: "Okay, Xie Yi, you finish this month's work first, and then think about it carefully. If by then, the idea of ​​leaving in your heart has not changed, I, Jiang Chengping, will never become a stumbling block on your road to pursuing your dreams!"

These words are both a letting go and a final attempt to retain.

"Brother Liang," Xie Yi's eyes flashed with emotion. He was filled with gratitude towards this boss who had a keen eye for talent and was so kind to him.

His words were full of sincerity and respect: "Thank you so much for your support and trust along the way!"

This gratitude is undisguised, pure and sincere.

"Hey, what are you thanking me for?"

Jiang Chengping pretended to be relaxed and patted Xie Yi's shoulder. The force was not strong, but it was full of meaning. "If you were not really capable, why would I, Liang, want to keep you? Haha!"

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and added: "Remember, even if you really decide to leave, if you want to come back someday in the future, my door will always be open to you!"

This speech paved a way for Xie Yi to retreat at any time, and also demonstrated Jiang Chengping's broad-mindedness as a leader.

However, watching Xie Yi's figure gradually walking away, Jiang Chengping couldn't help but frown and let out a long sigh.

Xie Yi, a young man who possesses courage, talent and intelligence, may have only one weakness, which is his beautiful and virtuous wife.

It’s not that the wife is a bad one. On the contrary, she comes from a good family, is knowledgeable, beautiful, and gentle. She is almost the ideal partner in every man’s mind.

But it is this kind of perfection that has both made Xie Yi successful and become a hindrance in his pursuit of higher ideals.

Jiang Chengping secretly felt that Xie Yi's talent should not be limited to the land in the countryside. He should soar into the wider world instead of just being a farmer facing the loess and back to the sky.

At this moment, Jiang Chengping deeply realized a truth: Don't marry a woman who is too beautiful, otherwise, he may very likely become the next Xie Yi, bound by the warmth of the family and find it difficult to soar in his career.

My thoughts drifted back to a few days ago when two young aunts came to visit my home.

One has a round face, a sweet smile and a gentle temperament, and at first glance she is a good wife who manages the household well; the other is tall, bright and beautiful, and good at dressing up, like a little princess who needs careful care.

When his wife asked him which one was more suitable for his nephew, Jiang Chengping had been inclined to the pretty girl, but now, after what happened to Xie Yi, he changed his mind - the gentle, round-faced aunt was the most solid foundation for the marriage.

Well, I have to talk to my wife about this idea when I get home tonight!

……

The speed at which Xu Xiufang received letters from her parents far exceeded her expectations.

Just three days after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread, a letter carrying hope and expectation traveled thousands of miles and landed steadily in her hands.

It turned out that her parents had already known in advance that the college entrance examination would be resumed. The sincere words in the letter were simply encouraging her to seize the opportunity, return to the city through the college entrance examination, and start a new chapter in her life.
