The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

The woman was left speechless by this sudden situation and stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Xu Xiufang smiled gently, as if all this had nothing to do with her, and her tone was a bit teasing and calm: "Xiaobao, your cold is not completely healed yet? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you have a headache? Be good, lie down, mommy has some candy for you. Don't worry, auntie won't mind, it's just a sneeze, this is not her private territory."

Hearing this, Xiao Bao smiled brightly, his lively eyes curved into a crescent shape: "Yes, then I did nothing wrong, no need to apologize!"

The innocence of the children eased the tense atmosphere in the carriage and added an unexpected touch of humor to the journey.

The woman was stunned. The two people in front of her cooperated so perfectly that there was no room for her to interrupt.

The expression on her face became more and more embarrassed, as if the sky was covered with dark clouds and a heavy rain might fall at any time.

At this moment, her eyes inadvertently passed through the crowd and stopped on a man who slowly walked into the cubicle door.

The man had a tall and straight figure, standing as upright as a pine or cypress. His handsome face was particularly eye-catching under the dim light, making the woman's eyes light up.

This was Xie Yi, who was holding a freshly drawn hot water in his hand. As soon as he stepped into the cubicle, he noticed the unusual tension in the air. He frowned slightly and turned to look at his wife, with a concerned tone in his voice: "What happened?"

Xu Xiufang had already noticed the woman's undisguised infatuation, which was stuck to Xie Yi like glue, which made Xu Xiufang feel unhappy.

She lowered her voice, with a hint of displeasure in her words: "I met a woman who doesn't know how to behave."

The noise in the carriage almost drowned out her whisper, and the woman did not notice Xu Xiufang's dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi frowned even more tightly, and his cold eyes swept over the woman, like a biting cold wind in winter.

The woman's name was Mo Meilin. She felt Xie Yi's sharp gaze and her cheeks flushed slightly. She tried to ease the sudden tense atmosphere with a shy smile and a wink, intending to establish some kind of connection with Xie Yi in this subtle way.

In Xu Xiufang's opinion, this was undoubtedly a blatant teasing of her husband. Just when she was about to explode, Xie Yi coldly asked, "What's the problem?"

Mo Meilin's smile froze instantly, obviously not expecting such a ruthless response.

Xu Xiufang laughed secretly in her heart. It seemed that having a husband who didn't understand romance was a blessing. At least she could deal with these "green tea girls" on her own.

Xie Yi turned to look at Xu Xiufang, his eyes full of tenderness: "Are you thirsty?"

"Ah."

Xu Xiufang responded softly.

Xie Yi immediately poured her a glass of water, but did not let Dabao and the other children come down. Instead, he took out an enamel cup from his bag and carefully distributed it to the children to share.

"Be careful!"

he reminded.

"Thank you dad!"

Dabao took the cup of water and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Mo Meilin's eyes never left this warm family. When she found out that Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang were actually a loving couple, and those lively and lovely children were all their flesh and blood, she could hardly conceal her inner surprise.

She began to look at the family's clothes calmly. Judging from their clothes, they obviously lived a well-off life. In Mo Meilin's logic, this wealth was undoubtedly due to Xie Yi. The extraordinary demeanor and outstanding temperament he exuded showed that he was a capable person.

However, Mo Meilin didn't believe in evil. She thought she had never failed, so she decided to take a roundabout tactic and called out in a seemingly friendly voice: "Brother, sister-in-law, do you have any extra water? Can you give me a glass?"

Xu Xiufang looked up. Mo Meilin thought she had hope and her smile became more gentle. "Sister-in-law, I don't have a cup. Can I borrow yours? Don't worry, I don't mind your used ones. Just give them to me after you finish drinking. I will wash them and return them to you immediately after I finish drinking."

Faced with this woman's excessive demands, Xu Xiufang couldn't help but be surprised at her shamelessness. The corners of her mouth twitched and she responded coldly: "Impossible."

Mo Meilin's expression suddenly froze, but she secretly glanced at Xie Yi and pretended to be embarrassed, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I was presumptuous."

"Then what are you still talking about?"

Xie Yi didn't even raise his head, his words were full of teasing.

Mo Meilin was choked and speechless. She didn't expect to hit a wall again and again. Although she apologized, she was gritting her teeth in hatred in her heart.

Xu Xiufang gave some of the water in her hand to Xie Yi and said with appreciation: "Well done."

At noon, Xie Yi took Erbao to the dining car to buy boxed lunches. Each box cost only fifty cents and there were many varieties, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and braised pork.

They bought five boxes in total. Considering that Xu Xiufang didn't eat much, she shared one with Xiaoyun, while Xie Yi and Sanbao each had one.

For families who could afford sleeper tickets, the cost of a few boxed lunches was naturally no problem, and many passengers paid for them. However, some budget-conscious people would rather smell the aroma of meat from their neighbors while eating the dry food they brought with them to fill their stomachs.

Mo Meilin was short of money and naturally could not afford such luxury.

Seeing Xie Yi and his family eating with gusto, she could only watch from the side. Finally, her gaze stayed on Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang for a moment. In the end, she did not have the courage to speak, so she had to stand up and slowly walked towards the dining car.

When she returned again, she had a box lunch in her hand and was accompanied by a handsome-looking man, with whom she was having a pleasant conversation.

Xu Xiufang secretly admired in her heart, what a resourceful woman!

After dinner, Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi discussed in a low voice: "Do we need someone to keep watch at night?"

As the end of the year approaches, petty thefts are becoming more frequent. Coupled with the high turnover of people in the hard sleeper carriages, we need to remain vigilant day and night.

Xie Yi was cleaning up the mess on the table and comforting his wife: "Don't worry, I'll keep watch tonight."

"Let me do it. You've been busy enough today," Xu Xiufang said with concern. From carrying the luggage to handling the formalities, Xie Yi had taken on a lot by himself.

"It's okay, I'll just take a nap later."

How could Xie Yi bear to let his wife stay up late, and he resolutely refused to allow it.

"I'm not tired either. I can keep watch!"

Erbao raised his hand actively and said excitedly: "Dad, you are old, you should rest more and don't overwork yourself. I am still young, let me take on this task!"

Xie Yi didn't know how to respond for a moment. Although his son's thoughtfulness was good, it sounded a little off.
