The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

This caused an uncontrollable fire of anger to rise up in Xie's mother's heart.

During this period of time, Xu Xiufang's gentle, virtuous, and well-educated image was deeply imprinted in her heart. To a certain extent, this well-behaved daughter-in-law has quietly occupied a special position that even her son Xie Yi can hardly match.

Therefore, when she heard others speaking rudely to Xu Xiufang, how could she feel happy?

Seeing Aunt Jiang's expression change from dissatisfaction to embarrassment, Xie's mother inexplicably felt a sense of vengeful pleasure in her heart.

To further please herself, she carefully put the heavy remittance slip into her trouser pocket, then turned to the sweaty postman with an expectant look in her eyes: "Young man, what good stuff is in this package?"

The postman smiled innocently, revealing two rows of white teeth. It was obvious that he had no idea what was in the package, so he could only kindly remind her: "Auntie, you might as well open it and check it directly. That's the most direct way!"

"Yes, yes, just open it and see."

The corners of Xie's mother's mouth were almost stretched to her ears, and her laughter was crisp and hearty. She took the seemingly heavy package, deliberately held her breath, and let out an "ouch", as if trying to prove how heavy the package was.

"This weight is really substantial!"

She said with pretended difficulty.

This scene made Aunt Gu look even uglier. She knew very well that with Xie's mother's strong body, let alone this amount of weight, even if it was added several times, it would hardly pose a challenge.

After all, carrying hundreds of kilograms of food and walking briskly is just a common thing for Xie's mother, who has been working all year round.

Aunt Gu realized that Xie's mother was deliberately putting on an act!

The villagers around understood each other tacitly and exchanged glances tacitly. When they saw Aunt Gu's unhappy expression, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. It was obvious that they all understood what Mother Xie meant.

Only the young postman looked innocent, mistaking Mrs. Xie for being in trouble, and kindly stepped forward to help: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll help you carry it!"

Then, the two of them worked together to unfold the packages on the spot. Mother Xie carefully counted them while loudly announcing the number: "Nuts, milk powder, White Rabbit candy, ten kilograms of high-quality bacon, fresh apples, soft egg cakes, and two sets of clothes of good quality..."

As the list got longer, Xie's mother's voice suddenly became low, revealing a subtle regret, "Alas, despite my full heart, the things in this package haven't changed much throughout the year..."

When the people around heard this, they looked at each other and muttered to themselves: These are good things that we are reluctant to buy, and you are still so picky?

Father Xie stood aside, feeling that the scene was somewhat funny, but also somewhat helpless. He was afraid that his wife's unintentional words would cause displeasure among the crowd, so he promptly interrupted to ease the atmosphere: "Okay, my wife, it's time for us to collect the food. Quickly pack up these things and take them back together later!"

"Ok."

Although Xie's mother was somewhat unwilling, she had no choice but to give up.

While packing the parcel, she casually opened a bag of White Rabbit candy, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into the honest delivery boy's hand, "Brother, you've worked so hard. I'll take this little bit of candy with me to satisfy my cravings on the way."

The postman refused a few times with a bit of embarrassment, but finally he couldn't resist Xie's mother's enthusiasm, so he accepted the candy with a smile on his face, then got on his old bicycle and left contentedly.

Everyone looked at the candy in Xie's mother's hand with envy, but she didn't care about other people's reactions and just put away the remaining candy.

After everything was sorted out, Mother Xie found that Father Xie and Boss Xie had already started queuing up to receive food. She hurriedly ran over with the package in her hand, took out a stack of brand new banknotes from her pocket, and handed it to Captain Guo Zhenwu who was busy registering. "Captain, I want to buy an extra 150 yuan of fine food!"

Guo Zhenwu was stunned when he heard this. He looked up and down at the Xie family's team, secretly calculating in his mind.

Apart from Xie's mother, the Xie family still has three other working people in their prime. Together with the children who help with farm work after school, their accumulated work points are indeed quite considerable.

The food earned from these work points should have been enough to feed the whole family, so why did they have to buy more now...

Everyone was also stunned. One of them joked, "Mother Xie, is the family going to be rich? The second daughter-in-law sends back 30 yuan every month. Will we stop eating coarse grains and eat refined grains in the future?"

Mother Xie glared at the man and said in feigned anger, "What are you talking about? I prepared this specially for my good daughter-in-law. She loves our native food. She is so filial to me and sends me so much money every month. Now that she is not at home, I should buy some food and send it to her. Isn't this right?"

These words left the person who was joking speechless. He touched his nose embarrassedly and dared not say anything more.

In fact, it has long been no secret that Xu Xiufang loves the village's self-produced grain. She buys a lot before returning to Beijing every time. In addition to using it for herself, she also remembers to share some with her parents who are far away in Beijing.

Everyone in the village knew about this.

What is unexpected is that after Xu Xiufang left home, Xie's mother was willing to spend such a huge price to buy food and send it to Beijing.

However, if you think about it carefully, since Xu Xiufang sends a generous sum of money to Xie's mother every month, this approach seems reasonable.

Everyone looked at Xie's mother's face, which was filled with happiness, with envy and emotion in their eyes.

The news that Xu Xiufang and Dabao were both admitted to the top domestic universities made Guo Zhenwu, the team leader, quite proud. So he happily accepted Xie's mother's request and asked the accountant to quickly weigh the required food.

Mother Xie ignored everything else and focused on directing Father Xie and Boss Xie to move the supplies.

She herself stared at the scale in the accountant's hand, concentrating intently.

At this moment, a burst of urgent calls broke the original silence -

"Thank you, father!"

someone exclaimed.

"Thank you, father, you fell down!"

Another voice came, a mixture of anxiety and concern.

Upon hearing the sound, Xie's mother turned around suddenly and saw her husband carrying a bag of grain with great effort, staggering in the mud. He accidentally slipped and fell heavily to the ground with a dull "thump".

Mother Xie's heart tightened, and she almost shouted out instinctively: "Old man!"

"dad!"

Upon hearing the sound, Boss Xie, who was standing by, immediately put down the food on his shoulders and ran towards his father. The surrounding villagers also gathered around and surrounded Xie's father, their concern evident in words.

"Hiss——" He slowly sat up with the help of Boss Xie, and Xie's father stroked the back of his head, looking a little dazed.

"Maybe he hit his head?"

Captain Guo Zhenwu also hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, asking with a worried look on his face, and at the same time loudly ordered others, "Go find a barefoot doctor!"

Fang Kai and Zhou Dani happened to pass by. Upon learning that Xie's father was injured, Fang Kai hurried to get a doctor without saying a word, while Zhou Dani stayed at the scene to help take care of him.

"I just vaguely saw that it seemed like the back of his head hit the ground, but fortunately Shunping Food cushioned it. I don't know what happened."

A villager who was watching whispered.
