The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

The two hit it off immediately. Although Xie Yi has been fully devoted to taking care of Xiaoyun recently, it is not completely impossible for him to take time out to do something else.

The only thing that worried him was any unexpected event that might happen at home. Although he himself was not afraid of anything, he was always cautious about the safety and happiness of his family.

Fortunately, it seems that many people have begun to try to set up stalls and have not encountered any official intervention, which seems to condone the existence of this phenomenon.

So, after some discussion, the couple quickly reached a consensus and decided to seize this opportunity.

However, they lived in the suburbs and had many inconveniences in traveling, so Xu Xiufang came up with a new idea.

"Why don't we move back to the Siheyuan? We've never lived in that house before, so we can go back and liven it up a bit, and it will also be more convenient for us to visit our parents."

Her eyes flickered with anticipation.

Xie Yi pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

However, when Xu Xiufang's eyes fell on the courtyard, she couldn't help but frown slightly: "But what about Dabao's plants? Moving is not easy."

Xie Yi followed her gaze and saw that in the small courtyard, flower pots were arranged in an orderly manner and full of greenery. Every flower and plant carried Dabao's curiosity and love for life.

Since entering university, Dabao seemed to be ignited by the fire of science. The laboratory became his second home, and he would bring back a pot of carefully cultivated plants almost every time he went home.

At first they just quietly guarded outside his door. As time went by, their numbers increased, and finally they occupied a corner of the yard. Xie Yi simply planned an exclusive space for him so that these green lives could have a place to live.

In Dabao's eyes, every leaf and every flower of those plants were extremely precious. Even Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi did not dare to touch them casually, let alone let the curious Erbao, Xiaobao and Xiaoyun get close.

Therefore, that corner became Dabao's secret garden. The well-organized layout added a bit of vitality and artistic atmosphere to the courtyard.

"No problem," Xie Yi said confidently, "Let's ask Dabao's opinion first. If he agrees to move out, I'll find a car to help. If he doesn't want to, let him stay here during the summer vacation."

The plan was set, the two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with expectations and hopes for the future. A migration about home and dreams was about to begin.

"Is it safe for him to live here alone?"

There was a hint of barely perceptible worry in Xu Xiufang's voice. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of concern for the child.

"It's very safe. You're already a grown man of about 1.6 meters tall," Xie Yi replied with a smile, his tone full of confidence.

His growing experience made him firmly believe that teenagers should have a certain amount of independent space and should not always live under the wings of their parents.

Despite this, he was well aware of his wife's meticulous love and reluctance to part with their children.

"If you're worried, let's ask Erbao if he's willing to stay. If he's willing, let him live with Dabao. They can take care of themselves, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to wash their own clothes and cook, and they can take care of each other. Besides, we can come to see them often on weekdays, and let them come to the city occasionally to experience life... Don't worry, wife, our two sons are much stronger and more independent than you think."

Xie Yi's words were full of affirmation for the children; he believed that the children had the ability to take care of themselves.

Xu Xiufang nodded and decided to listen to Dabao's opinion first.

As expected, Dabao is not very interested in returning to live in the city. He would rather stay here and accompany the plant friends he takes good care of.

Besides, he had just secured a laboratory position at school, and he seemed to have planned to devote most of his time there during the summer vacation.

Later, when Erbao was asked about his wishes, he initially planned to follow everyone back to the courtyard, but when he heard that his brother had decided to stay, his attitude immediately changed: "Then I'd better stay, so that when my elder brother feels lonely and wants to cry at night, I can still accompany him."

After saying that, he deliberately forced a funny expression, as if challenging Dabao's bottom line.

When Dabao heard this, he was touched but also a little dissatisfied. He raised his eyebrows and retorted, "Who would cry?"

But there was a hint of smile in his voice.

Erbao looked confident, with his hands in his pockets, glancing at his elder brother, his eyes seemed to say, "As long as you admit it, you lose."

The veins on Dabao's forehead were slightly visible and his palms were itchy, but he resisted the urge to teach this naughty brother a lesson.

Seeing this, Xu Xiufang could only hold her forehead and sigh. With Erbao's quirky personality, she just hoped that he would not cause too much trouble outside.

"Okay, since you've decided to stay, you two should take care of each other and don't have conflicts. Dabao, you should take the trouble to guide Erbao."

Her tone was full of gentle admonition.

As for Erbao's studies, Xu Xiufang no longer has too many worries.

Since setting the goal of entering a military academy, Erbao's hard work is truly impressive.

"I got it, Mom," Dabao agreed readily, his words revealing the confidence that comes with growing up.

So, it was decided.

Dabao and Erbao stayed in the school dormitory area, while Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang took Xiaobao and Xiaoyun back to the historic courtyard house in the city.

Even though they had not officially moved in yet, Xie Yi had taken the opportunity to accompany Xiaoyun for Xiaobao's studies. He used his free time to keep the courtyard spotless inside and out, and had also purchased all the necessary daily necessities.

This two-story courtyard has a rigorous structure and numerous rooms.

There is an ear room on each side of the main house, and three side rooms are cleverly embedded in the center. The east and west side rooms also have multiple rooms each, and the layout is exquisite and reasonable.

Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi jointly selected a cozy bedroom in the main house as their private space, and the rest of the rooms were open to Sanbao and Xiaoyun to choose freely.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobao and Xiaoyun both chose to live in the main house next to their parents. Perhaps in their young hearts, the warmth of family is more important than anything else.

Although it had been carefully cleaned before, the light dust left by the years could not be avoided.

The family worked together to clean up again, and before they knew it, night had fallen. They decided to go back to Xu's house for dinner.

When Mr. and Mrs. Xu saw them return, their joy was beyond words.

Mother Xu picked up Xiaoyun and said with a smile, "Your father has been talking about you these days. He thought that it was your summer vacation and the conditions in the countryside might be tough and there would be a lot of mosquitoes, so he wanted to ask you to come back to the city and live for a while."

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi looked at each other, and then they suddenly remembered that they had not yet informed their elders about the purchase of the courtyard house.

Previously, we only talked about the plan to purchase a small courtyard in the countryside.
