The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Hearing this, Zhou Lijuan's tense expression finally relaxed, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she promised: "Xiufang, don't worry, this will always be your home. You can come back and live here as long as you want! Our door is always open to you."

This comfort is like a ray of sunshine in winter, warming the heart.

"Okay," Xu Xiufang smiled sincerely when she heard this. That smile was like the most beautiful flower in spring, giving people infinite hope and warmth.

Xu Xiufang and her family decided to move out and live on their own to meet the challenges of a new life.

However, the old house they chose clearly needed some work before it could become a real home.

The walls are mottled and the window frames are old, and every detail tells the story of time.

Of course, the dilapidated house is by no means ready to move into; it is in dire need of repair and renovation to suit the needs of a warm family.

The good furniture left by the previous owner had already been moved away, leaving only some dilapidated and broken items. Obviously, these no longer met the quality of life requirements of Xu Xiufang and her family.

Thus, a massive cleanup process began.

Xu Xiufang and her family worked together to clean out these waste items one by one.

At this time, the benefits of having many children in the family are clearly apparent. Everyone becomes a little worker, and the second child is particularly active. He seems to have endless energy, sweating profusely and tirelessly.

"Take a break first, we're not in a hurry!"

Seeing this, Xu Xiufang tried to dissuade Erbao with concern.

But Erbao just smiled innocently, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and carefully put the broken glass in his hand into the dustpan, "It's okay, Mom, I'll throw this pile of garbage away first, so as not to hurt anyone!"

His eyes sparkled with a sense of responsibility that transcended his age.

Xu Xiufang looked around and saw that every corner was filled with the spirit of hard work.

Xie Yi was holding the broom high, carefully clearing the cobwebs under the eaves, and every swing of the broom swept away the passing dust.

Dabao used all his strength to pull the rotten table out, his face flushed from the effort.

Xiaobao was also busy helping to deal with the accumulated garbage.

The youngest, Xiaoyun, despite her limited strength, tried hard to pick up a broom that was taller than her and swept the floor with great effort. Her seriousness was so amusing that one could not help laughing.

At this time, the early spring breeze has brought some warmth, but their busy figures make the air filled with the smell of hard sweat. There are fine beads of sweat on everyone's forehead, which is the most beautiful testimony of labor.

They spent a whole day cleaning the entire house from roof to floor, every corner.

This old house forgotten by time, even though its walls are made of solid blue bricks, cannot withstand the erosion of time. It is damaged and mottled everywhere. In addition, it has never been renovated. Its simple and shabby appearance makes people feel sad.

Xu Xiufang looked at all this and began to have the idea of ​​reform.

After much consideration, she felt that the house needed substantial improvements both in terms of living comfort and visual effects.

So, after discussing with Xie Yi, she decided to repaint the walls.

Xie Yi, as the pillar of the family, always fully supports Xu Xiufang's requests.

Xie Yi seemed to be omnipotent, and with the help of his three children, in just two days, the interior of the house was completely renovated, with white walls like snow, bright and spacious.

The paint they used came from Xu Xiufang's space. It is environmentally friendly and harmless, and can be moved in as soon as it dries, without having to worry about formaldehyde.

After painting the walls, the next step is to lay the tiles.

In order to choose a satisfactory style, Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi went to the market in person.

There are many types of tiles on the market, many of which are decorated with gorgeous patterns to cater to the aesthetic tastes of contemporary people, but Xu Xiufang prefers a simple style.

After some searching, they finally chose a milky white, retro, non-slip tile that is both practical and elegant.

Then, it took another day to lay new tiles on the floor of the house, and each tile was as smooth as a mirror.

Then they set about buying household items.

Although Xu Xiufang has everything she needs in her space, it is not appropriate to take them out frequently in the current environment, especially large furniture.

Therefore, they decided to take a compromise, purchasing half from the mall and making smart use of space resources for the other half.

As for wooden furniture, although Xie Yi has excellent craftsmanship, in order to use it as soon as possible, they decided to ask professional craftsmen to customize it. It includes beds, wardrobes and even daily tables and chairs. Each piece is carefully selected to create a warm and comfortable living environment.

In addition, they also bought a sturdy and durable bicycle for daily travel.

After more than half a month of hard work, daily necessities are basically in place and the opening day of school is approaching.

They decided to slowly purchase the remaining miscellaneous items.

Finally, Xu Xiufang and her family officially moved into their new home and started a new chapter in their lives.

"There are three bedrooms in the east row of rooms. You brothers can divide them among yourselves," Xie Yi said to the three treasures, his tone full of trust and expectation.

"okay!"

The three treasures said in unison, their eyes sparkling with joy and excitement at having their own personal space for the first time.

A small battle ensued between Erbao and Xiaobao, as both of them were longing for the middle room.

At this time, Dabao exerted his authority as the eldest brother and intervened gently but firmly: "That's enough, let's go in order of age. I'll live in the first room, Erbao will live in the second room, and Xiaobao, the third room is yours."

In this way, Erbao got the middle room as he wished, and a sense of pride arose in his heart; although Xiaobao was a little disappointed, he respected his eldest brother's decision and no longer argued with his second brother.

The two bedrooms on the north side are used by Xu Xiufang, Xie Yi and Xiaoyun respectively.

Although Xiaoyun is not yet three years old, after seeing her brothers all have their own rooms, she also clamors to sleep independently.

Considering that Xiaoyun is usually well-behaved and obedient, and sleeps as quietly as her older brother and rarely wakes up at night, Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang agreed to her request and gave her a little independent space.

During this period, Xu Xiufang's close friend Jiang Yin was admitted to Renmin University with excellent grades and rushed to Beijing from her hometown.

Unfortunately, because Jiang Yin's grandmother was ill and hospitalized, her parents Liang Jun and Yu Hong were unable to accompany her, so they had to contact Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang electronically, hoping that they could go to the train station to pick them up.

It happened to be the eve of Xu Xiufang and Dabao's school start, while Xu Xiaoyu, who was also admitted to Renmin University, was still on vacation and had not yet started school.

Xu Xiufang then asked Xu Xiaoyu if he could spare some time to help pick up Jiang Yin.

Xu Xiaoyu agreed without hesitation, demonstrating the deep friendship between them.

As for the registration matter, the original plan was for Xu Xiufang to take Dabao to complete the registration procedures first, and then arrange for her own admission.
