The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"Oh, you are a grown man, why are you as delicate as a little girl?"

Xie's mother waved her hand, looking nonchalant. She continued to busy herself with the fire while speaking, "Alright, alright, stop dawdling and hurry up and cook. Once your mother finishes washing up, we can have breakfast right away."

Erbao could only smile bitterly: "Grandma, do I look like I am no longer your beloved grandson? My mom is your sweetheart, right?"

"Go away, what little darling? She's a good daughter-in-law," Xie's mother corrected him with a smile, with a hint of playful reproach in her words.

Erbao silently complained in his heart: The key is, am I not your grandson? Why don’t you say a few words to protect me?

As Xu Xiufang's family gradually woke up, Dabao, Xiaobao and Xiaoyun rubbed their eyes and joined the early morning hustle and bustle in a daze.

After a warm breakfast, everything was packed up. I looked up and saw that the time was exactly nine o'clock, which was the best time to go out and inquire about the results.

Due to the thick snow on the road and the constant flow of pedestrians, riding a bike seemed a bit inconvenient, so the whole family unanimously decided to walk to the county town.

Xie's mother, holding the youngest daughter Xiaoyun's hand, stepped out of the house first. Just as she was about to walk forward with big strides, she unexpectedly bumped into Xie's father, who had just returned from a trip outside, at the door.

He looked tired and his hair was slightly wet from the morning dew. It was obvious that he had just finished a trip.

"Thank you, Li Tou," Xie's mother's voice was loud and full of energy, "Where have you been so early in the morning? Why are you back just now? Come in quickly, I left your breakfast in the pot to warm it up for you. Although it may be a little cold, you can heat it up and eat it yourself. I don't care, I have to go to the county town with the second son to check the scores!"

"Wait," Xie's father responded breathlessly, with traces of time and marks left by farm work intertwined on his face. Although he seemed a little excited, his eyes were unusually bright, flashing an unusual light.

His eyes fell on Xu Xiufang and Dabao in turn, his mouth opened and closed slightly, obviously because he was too excited, he couldn't find the right words to express his feelings for a moment.

Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi exchanged a meaningful look. From Xie's father's agitated expression and his muddy appearance, it was clear that...

"Dad, did you just come back from the county town?"

Xu Xiufang asked cautiously.

"Yeah," Father Xie nodded vigorously, as if he was worried that others would not believe him.

"Why are you running to the county town so early in the morning? Is there something going on? Or are you confused after waking up so early in the morning?"

There was both concern and ridicule in Xu Xiufang's words. After all, such abnormal behavior was not common in daily life.

Xie's mother took over the conversation. As soon as she finished speaking, something flashed through her mind like lightning. She suddenly came to her senses and grabbed Xie's father's arm almost reflexively. The force was so great that Xie's father was startled.

"Thank you, Li Tou, you didn't sneak a peek at the test results without telling me, did you? Oh, I thought you disappeared early in the morning. It turns out you are even more worried than I am! Tell me quickly, how many points did our second child get? How about Dabao? Oh, please tell me quickly, don't make me anxious like an ant on a hot pot!"

Xie's mother's words were full of urgency and expectation.

"Dabao scored 382 points," Xie's father responded quickly, his throat a little dry due to nervousness, and every word was loaded with heavy emotions.

"382 points?"

Xie's mother's voice suddenly rose. She turned her head quickly and her eyes lingered on Xu Xiufang, as if seeking confirmation. "The full score is 400, right?"

There was a hint of unbelievable surprise in his words.

"That's right," Xu Xiufang saw her mother-in-law's excited and nervous expression, and couldn't help but smile, her eyes gentle and firm, "That's right."

"oops!"

Mother Xie immediately hugged Dabao beside her, and she was so excited that she almost jumped up, "Dabao, you are so outstanding, grandma is proud of you!"

With this hug, Dabao felt his waist tightened and he almost lost his balance, almost having an intimate "hug" with the ground. After finally standing firm, he could only stand there, his face full of confusion and helplessness.

As soon as Xie's mother let go, Erbao rushed to Dabao like a pony that had broken free from its reins, patted Dabao's shoulder with the carefree attitude of a chivalrous young man, and did not forget to tease him: "Look, this big brother is worthy of being called a brother, he is full of affection and righteousness!"

The tone made it seem as if Dabao's outstanding achievements were all the result of the behind-the-scenes planning by Erbao, his younger brother.

Dabao smiled faintly and gently pushed away Erbao's hand on his shoulder, his action showing a bit of brotherly generosity.

At this moment, Xiao Bao came running over, his eyes full of admiration: "Brother, you are so awesome!"

In front of Xiaobao, Dabao naturally showed the calmness of an elder brother who is like a father: "You can do it, just study hard."

Hearing this, Xiaobao nodded his head hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "Yeah, yeah, I will definitely work hard! I want to be a person like big brother. Big brother, in the future you will be my guiding light on the road of study!"

It was Xiaoyun's turn. She walked with her short legs, raised her head proudly, and said in a childish voice: "Brother, you are awesome!"

Dabao smiled and lifted Xiaoyun up high, his eyes full of doting: "Xiaoyun is also very good!"

Erbao was standing aside, muttering to himself: "..."

Oh, it’s too obvious that elder brother is biased!

At this moment, Xie's mother seemed to have suddenly remembered something important, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "What about Xiufang? How many points did she get?"

His words were full of anticipation. He thought that since Dabao was so outstanding, Xu Xiufang's results must be even better.

There was a gleam of anticipation in Xie's mother's eyes, and everyone turned their eyes to Xie's father, the nervousness and anticipation on their faces were self-evident.

Under the focus of so many expectant eyes, Xie's father cleared his throat and slowly announced: "3 points."

"395 points?!"

Xie's mother almost screamed, only five points away from full marks?

“He’s still the top scholar in the province.”

Mr. Xie added this crucial sentence, which instantly brought the atmosphere to a climax.

!!!

No.1!!

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Xiufang like a spotlight, with shock and deep respect in their eyes.

Xu Xiufang did not have high hopes for her estimated score, and was also surprised when she learned that she had scored 395 points.

Facing the astonished and approving eyes of the crowd, she, who was always calm, showed a rare shy look, especially Xie Yi's burning gaze, which seemed to want to immediately imprint the words "My wife is so awesome" on his face.

"Look stupid?"

Xu Xiufang gently pushed Xie Yi, signaling him not to stare at her so intently.

Erbao was much more straightforward, and came closer with a look of surprise on his face: "Mom, you are awesome!"

His words were full of pride for his mother.
