The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Inside the room, Xie's mother realized that she was still holding Xie Yi's arm tightly. The two had never been close since childhood. Looking at her son's expressionless face, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed and hurriedly let go of her hand.

Xie Yi sensed this change, and the seriousness on his face gradually softened. He took the initiative to say, "Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

When Xie Yi asked this, Xie's mother was a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth: "I just want to ask, how is your life in Beijing?"

When asked about this, a barely perceptible worry flashed across her face.

After all, Xie Yi's father and mother are still kept in the dark about his waste recycling business.

The reason why Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi chose to conceal the truth was that they were afraid that the two elders would have unnecessary worries and misunderstandings after learning the truth.

Therefore, in the eyes of the two elders, Xie Yi has always been a good family man who relies on the protection of the Xu family to take care of Xiaoyun with peace of mind.

The reason why Xie's mother asked this question was actually out of deep concern for her son. She was afraid that his status in the Xu family was low and he would be looked down upon!

"pretty good."

Xie Yi's answer was brief and powerful.

"Are your relatives treating you well?"

Xie's mother finally touched upon the core of the matter, with a barely perceptible anxiety in her tone.

After all, the Xie family didn’t know Xie Yi’s real occupation, and she was afraid that her son would be wronged in the Xu family.

"It's going well."

Xie Yi's answer was as calm as ever.

Hearing this, Xie's mother felt a little relieved, but then she fell into new worries again, "What about Xiufang? Is your relationship still as strong as before?"

Deep down, Xie's mother still holds on to traditional ideas, believing that men should be stronger than women in marriage, and otherwise it would be unlucky.

She was afraid that Xu Xiufang would dislike Xie Yi for not being successful enough, which would affect their relationship and even lead to the breakdown of their marriage.

Even Xie Yi, who had long been accustomed to the outside world's gossip, was speechless at this moment, "We are fine, or do you think we did something inappropriate today?"

Mother Xie thought about it carefully and indeed could not find anything unusual. She felt much more at ease. She sighed and smiled with relief: "It's good that you are alright. I just can't rest assured..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xie Yi again, her eyes full of pity, "Mother is not nosy, it's just that you are too far away from home, and mother wants to know how you are doing, and I can't let it go..."

Xie Yi was silent for a moment, his eyes fell gently on his mother's face, and suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mom, have you heard that the work point system will be abolished recently?"

"heard."

Mother Xie nodded, with a hint of worry between her brows, "I just don't know what the next arrangements will be."

Xie Yi continued to ask: "Have you ever considered moving to Beijing and living with us?"

"Move... to Jing City..."

Xie's mother's voice suddenly became louder, and then she realized something, and quickly lowered her voice and waved her hand to refuse: "Go to Beijing? No, no, why would an old country lady like me go to Beijing?"

Although she said this, a yearning quietly sprouted in Xie's mother's heart.

The farthest she had ever traveled in her life was the market town, Beijing. That was a place she dared not even set foot in her dreams. It was full of mystery and remoteness.

Nowadays, Beijing has a special meaning for many people, and Xie's mother is no exception.

But on second thought, Xie Yi's suggestion of going to Beijing together doesn't mean that we have to live in the Xu family?

Doesn't this mean admitting Xie Yi's dependence and incompetence, making outsiders look down on him even more?

Xie's mother firmly disagreed with this idea.

Hearing this, Xie Chunyan's eyes flashed with surprise, but then she hesitated: "Is this... is this possible? Will Mom and Dad be unwilling to leave the village?"

Although she had expectations in her heart, she was also aware of her parents' attachment to their homeland.

"So we are still trying to convince them," Xu Xiufang said softly, "I came back this time to talk to everyone in person and listen to everyone's opinions."

Feng Dongling's expression turned serious when he heard this: "That's a good idea. The conditions in Beijing are definitely better than here, and it will also be good for the children's education. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know. You're welcome!"

Xie Chunyan nodded in agreement, her eyes flashing with a complex mixture of longing and worry: "Xiufang, when you go to Beijing, remember to write to us and tell us about your situation."

"Don't worry, Sister Chunyan, we will definitely do it."

Xu Xiufang held Xie Chunyan's hand with a warm smile.

At this time, Xie Yi leaned over and picked up one of Huanhuan and Kangkang, his movements were gentle and skillful, "Huanhuan, Kangkang, let's go to Beijing to play with my aunt and uncle in the future, okay?"

The little boy giggled, seeming to understand his father's expectations.

Feng Dongling looked at this scene and was filled with emotion: "That's great, you all have a new life. We all have to work harder and strive to live a better life as soon as possible."

Xu Xiufang looked around this simple but warm little house, and her heart was filled with strength: "Yes, if we work together, the future will definitely get better and better."

Xie Chunyan suddenly remembered something and hurried to the inner room. When she came back, she was holding a string of gourds strung together with red thread. "Quick, take this with you. It will keep you safe."

Xu Xiufang took it and was so moved that she was almost speechless and could only nod vigorously.

This blessing from her family made her feel more at ease than any words.

Before leaving, Sanbao came back covered in sweat and dust. When he heard about going to Beijing, he was surprised and then envious: "Aunt, take me to see the tall buildings in the big city next time!"

Xu Xiufang agreed with a smile: "Okay, when you have a holiday, I will definitely take you there to broaden your horizons."

As the moment of farewell approaches, a faint sense of reluctance permeates the air.

Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang took Xiaoyun away from Zhou's house. On the way back, the setting sun stretched their shadows into long ones, as if it was a gentle farewell to their past lives, and at the same time it also foreshadowed the upcoming new life, full of unknowns and hopes.

"Received from Beijing?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Chunyan raised her head involuntarily, with disbelief flashing in her eyes.

Feng Dongling, who was chatting with her at the side, also turned his head suddenly, his face full of surprise, as if he had heard some incredible news.

"Yes, as long as my parents are willing!"

Xu Xiufang's tone was gentle yet firm, and her eyes seemed to contain a beautiful vision of the future.

"Also, Big Sister, Old Feng, are you interested in going to Beijing together to seek greater development opportunities?"

Feng Dongling and Xie Chunyan seemed to be hit by this question for a moment. They stood there in a daze, looking at each other.

Beijing, that distant and prosperous place, seemed like an unattainable dream for them.

For a moment, they didn't know how to answer, and they only felt a complex emotion surging in their hearts.

After a while, as if awakened from a dream, they slowly spoke, "We are going to Beijing... This, this is not appropriate, right? Can small people like us gain a foothold in a big city like that?"

His words revealed both fear of the unknown and lack of confidence in his own abilities.

Xu Xiufang understood what he meant and secretly gave Xie Yi a look, signaling him to take over the conversation.
