The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Especially when Qin Yunli was tasting the food, the faint aroma of stewed meat coming from next door formed a sharp contrast, causing Qin Yunli to hold the bowl with tears in her eyes.

When Boss Xie saw this, he quickly put the bowl aside and asked helplessly, "Why, why are you crying?"

Qin Yunli covered her face and cried even harder, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this, I really didn't know...

Woohoo..."

She was incoherent, crying and struggling to get up from the bed, "I want to go and apologize to my second brother and his wife. I have to do this..."

Boss Xie quickly held her back and comforted her with clumsy words: "It's okay. It's okay if we can't go to Beijing. We have land now. I can always support you and the children if I work harder!"

Qin Yunli completely broke down and burst into tears.

……

At the same time, Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi quietly moved back to their cottage under the cover of night, and Xie's father and mother also followed them.

Their family had always been the focus of the village. With such a big move, and Gu Xiaoling fanning the flames, everyone in the village quickly got the news.

Overnight, the reason why Xu Xiufang and her family moved back became known to everyone in the village.

Gu Xiaoling's instigation biased everyone's views. They all felt that it was indeed a bit excessive for Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang to take Fang Kai and Feng Dongling's families to Beijing, but leave behind the two brothers Xie Lao Da and Xie Lao San.

Fang Kai was puzzled and asked, "If we go to Beijing, does that mean Brother Yi will be responsible for supporting us?"

This sentence is like the morning bell and evening drum, awakening the dreamer!

The villagers suddenly realized that Xu Xiufang's family only had two children who were admitted to university, and her parents' family was only slightly better off, not wealthy.

Going to Beijing is to pursue better development, not to rely on others.

How could he take on the heavy burden of supporting Fang Kai and Feng Dongling's two families for no reason?

This issue is like an invisible pressure, hovering in the hearts of every villager.

Gu Xiaoling, however, was as firm as a rock. She insisted that Xu Xiufang and her family planned to take Fang Kai and Feng Dongling to Beijing to enjoy a better life, but left their two families behind...

The selfishness and bias in her words were obvious, like a gust of untimely wind that instantly blew away the villagers' original sympathy and understanding. The weather vane of public opinion quietly changed direction, and the accusations and criticisms shifted away from Xu Xiufang's family and instead focused on Gu Xiaoling and Qin Yunli.

However, Xu Xiufang no longer cared about all this.

Her mind was completely focused on the new life that was about to begin, and the gossip seemed like a breeze passing by her ears, so light that it could be ignored.

After careful confirmation with Feng Dongling's family, Xie Yi and Fang Kai set out for the train station at dawn the next day. They successfully bought the tickets they needed to return to Beijing on the sixth day of the New Year, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve arrived quietly.

In the past few days, Xie's father and mother chose to have dinner together at Xu Xiufang's home. This tradition is no exception on New Year's Eve. The warmth of the family and the festive joy blend together to form a series of heartwarming pictures.

Xie Yi's return allowed Xie's mother to relieve herself from her daily work, and the family sat around the warm fireplace, enjoying themselves.

Xiaoyun, the happy girl of the family, excitedly performed singing and dancing for everyone. Every movement and every note revealed the innocence and happiness of childhood.

There was surprise and deep pride in Xie's eyes. Seeing their grandson so lively, the joy in their hearts was beyond words.

Xie Yi and Sanbao were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, while Erbao and Xiaobao would hum along with Xiaoyun's singing from time to time. The atmosphere at home was more harmonious and warm than in previous years, as if even the air was filled with sweetness.

The textile factory started the Spring Festival holiday several days in advance, but Xiaoxi was not in a hurry to return home. She decided to use this precious holiday to go to night school to study and recharge herself.

When I returned today, I was so happy that I wanted to find Xu Xiufang to share my gains, but I was blocked outside the door by my mother's crying voice. Only then did I learn about the recent turmoil in the village.

"Mom, why did you think of going to Beijing City to enjoy yourself with your uncle and aunt?"

Xiaoxi's voice was filled with confusion and puzzlement. She couldn't help but wonder, "What's so special about them to our family?"

"Wow, wow, wow..." Although Qin Yunli was recuperating at home after giving birth, she was already aware of the outside world's criticism through her children's occasional conversations.

Her sensitive and inferior heart was almost broken by the continuous public opinion attack.

At this moment, facing her daughter's questioning, her tears fell like beads from a broken string, her voice choked with sobs, "Mom knows I was wrong, you and Second Aunt have a good relationship, help me apologize and tell me that I understand where I was wrong..."

"No, if you want to apologize, go by yourself!"

Xiaoxi rarely got angry. She turned around abruptly and went back to her room, feeling heavy in her heart - she felt like she had no face to see Xu Xiufang again!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang originally planned to continue the previous tradition and go to Jiang Chengping's home to pay New Year's greetings.

Unexpectedly, just when they were ready, Jiang Chengping came to visit in person with Yu Ping and Jiang Yin. This unexpected surprise made the smiles of both families even brighter.

Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang hurried forward to greet them. Xu Xiufang's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze: "We are just about to go to your house!"

"You come to visit us every year, and this time we should come back for a visit," Yu Ping replied with a smile, handing the gift in her hand to Xu Xiufang, "Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyin so well!"

Normally speaking, Jiang Chengping is older than Xie Yi and had given Xie Yi a lot of help in his early years. So it is reasonable for Xie Yi and his wife to visit Jiang Chengping's home every year.

Moreover, last year, Jiang Yin went to the north to study and sometimes stayed at Xu Xiufang's home, receiving their care. Jiang Chengping and his wife remembered this friendship in their hearts, so this year they specially brought Jiang Yin to pay New Year's greetings to Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang in advance to express their gratitude.

"Xiaoyin is well-behaved and smart. What we do is actually insignificant," Xu Xiufang smiled with a bit of humility.

On the other hand, the conversation between Xie Yi and Jiang Chengping was also warm and intimate.

Jiang Chengping heard Lu Shunping mention Xie Yi's return, so he naturally heard about Xie Yi's life in Beijing.

After a few pleasantries, Jiang Chengping suddenly moved closer to Xie Yi and asked in a low voice, "I heard that you are now 'picking up rags' in Beijing?"

Xie Yi usually doesn't care much about misunderstandings from the outside world, but when facing this old friend who is like a brother to him, he is still willing to explain a little.

He glanced at Jiang Chengping lightly, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's called recycling waste."

"Really?"

Jiang Chengping seemed a little surprised and moved closer. "Does your wife mind?"
