The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

"Isn't it obvious?"

Without any hesitation, Xie's mother told Xie Chunli everything that had happened in the previous few days in the yard, completely disregarding the face of her uncle and third uncle's family.

In the room, Qin Yunli heard this and felt ashamed and scared. After a while, she began to cry softly.

Xie's mother felt upset. After saying hello to Xie's father, she took Xie Chunli and her family to visit their neighbors first.

After Xie Chunli heard her mother's words, she was unable to digest this series of information for a while. She was stunned for a long time before she reacted: "Second brother and second sister-in-law are back?"

"Yes," Mother Xie had a rare opportunity to talk to Xie Chunli. After they left, she pulled Xie Chunli aside and whispered, "There is something I want to discuss with you. Your second brother and his wife suggested that they take our whole family to Beijing for a trip this year. We have already agreed and have booked the train tickets. We will leave on the sixth day of the New Year!"

Xie Chunli was shocked when she heard this. This sudden news caught her off guard. "Mom, why didn't you discuss this with me first?"

"I have to find someone to discuss this with!"

Xie's mother said with a hint of reproach that since Peng Zhihai was transferred back to the county to work last year, Xie Chunli has returned to her parents' home only a few times. Today was the first time that Xie's mother had met Xie Chunli in more than half a year.

"mom!"

Xie Chunli's tone was mixed with a hint of helplessness and guilt, and her voice was slightly raised, as if she was looking for a reasonable explanation for her absence. "Zhi Hai has now been transferred back to the county and assumed the responsibilities of the director, and I have also found a job in the food factory. The busyness of life is like a tide, and we are really overwhelmed and it is difficult for us to find time to come back to see you and Dad. But you have to understand that the passion in my heart to return home has never diminished!"

Ever since her granddaughter was born, the mother-in-law resolutely retired from the food factory and left the precious job opportunity to Xie Chunli.

This sacrifice and love is like an invisible bond that ties the hearts of three generations together.

Peng Zhihai followed closely behind, his words full of tenderness and apology, "Mom, don't blame Xinyan, and don't blame us. In the days to come, we will redouble our efforts and strive to come back to visit you more often to make up for this loss."

Mother Xie snorted softly, her eyes flashing with understanding and insight.

How could she really blame the young couple?

Mother Xie understands their thoughts better than anyone else.

Although Zhihai's family has lofty ambitions, they are also proud; Chunli is a person who cares a lot about her reputation and is afraid that frequent visits to her parents' home will lead to misunderstandings and affect the reputation of the Xu family.

As a mother, how could she not understand all this?

As time goes by, Xie's mother's mood becomes more open-minded.

Getting along with her daughter-in-law Xu Xiufang has taught her to be more tolerant and understanding.

"Forget it, why bother talking about this? I won't really bother with you. As long as you live well, I'll be satisfied! Don't worry about going to Beijing. Your second brother and second sister-in-law have made arrangements. Even your eldest sister and her family will come with us. It will be very lively."

"What do you mean by causing trouble for us?"

Xie Chunli's question was mixed with a little stubbornness, followed by a full heart of surprise, "Eldest sister and her family are going too? What are they going for? Huanhuan and Kangkang are still so young!"

"Your second brother wants to try his luck in Beijing and do some business."

Xie's mother took into consideration the presence of Peng Zhihai and did not elaborate on Xie Yi's plan. She just mentioned it briefly, "Your brother-in-law also intends to join forces with your second brother to plan for a better future."

Peng Zhihai had an idea in mind when he heard this, but he was a little hesitant, "Wouldn't that require a lot of investment..."

“What does it matter what kind of investment you make?”

Xie's mother glanced sideways, her words full of unquestionable determination, "The current policy encourages individual economy. Isn't it mentioned in the newspapers every day? The country is very supportive!"

Peng Zhihai forced a smile, but he felt mixed emotions deep down.

As a teacher, the social environment he lives in gives him a relatively high status and recognition, and he naturally has reservations about the prospects of his own economy.

When Xie Chunli heard the news, she felt inexplicably relieved.

Finally, there was something in which she could not lose to Xu Xiufang!

The heavy stone in Xie's mother's heart fell quietly - at least, Zhihai and Chunli were not like the eldest and third uncle's families, who were completely ignorant of the changes of the times.

……

The morning sun was shining lazily. When Xu Xiufang opened her eyes, Sanbao and the others were busy playing snowball fights outside.

This snowball fight was initiated by Erbao, who always likes to start in a direct and rough way - throwing snowballs hard, hitting the eldest and youngest brothers directly, and making the two children who didn't want to participate get angry and join hands to fight.

At first, Erbao was very proud of himself. He had extraordinary physical strength and agility, and he could easily compete with his older brother and younger brothers.

However, the good times did not last long, and his dull mind soon put him in a passive position.

Erbao, unwilling to accept the result, began to complain, saying that his elder brother and younger brothers were teaming up to bully him. He was thinking about getting Xiaoyun, who was painting with tree branches, to join them.

Xiaoyun was immersed in her own world and was indifferent to her second brother's request.

Erbao used the same trick again and deliberately ran near Xiaoyun, trying to lure the big brother and little brother's snowballs to accidentally hurt Xiaoyun, thinking that this would win Xiaoyun's sympathy and get them to deal with the big brother and little brother together!

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyun was really hit by my younger brother by mistake!

Just as Erbao was about to smile victoriously, a huge snowball came towards him like a cannonball. The cold feeling instantly penetrated his whole body. He glared at the culprit angrily - it was his father Xie Yi!

"I'll play with you till you're satisfied!"

Xie Yi had a sly smile on his face, and then the second and third snowballs followed.

Erbao was attacked from three sides by his father, elder brother and younger brother, and was completely thrown into disarray!

"Ahhh!"

Erbao covered his head and ran away in embarrassment.

"Ouch!"

Mother Xie didn't know when she walked into the yard. Unfortunately, she was hit on the neck by a snowball thrown by Erbao. She shivered with cold and hurriedly put her clothes in order. However, the snowflakes slid down her collar and touched her skin, causing her to shiver. "Erbao!"

Erbao stood there in a daze, feeling extremely sad. He had actually angered the entire family!

"Mom, are you okay?"

Upon seeing this, Xu Xiufang hurried forward to show concern.

Mother Xie is old. What should we do if she is really injured?

"It's okay, it's okay," Xie's mother waved her hands, "It's just a little snow, it's very cool!"

Before she finished speaking, she looked back and said, "Hey, Chunli and Zhihai are back with the kids? What are you standing there for? Come in!"

Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi then noticed the arrival of Xie Chunli and her husband and their little nephew. Xie Yi immediately announced a break in the snowball fight, and Erbao was able to escape the danger temporarily.

Everyone gathered in the main room, laughing and talking in a harmonious atmosphere.

Xu Xiufang gave the children some instructions, "Look, you are all wet. Go back and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold!"

"I know, I know," Erbao patted the snowflakes off his body and tried to divert Xu Xiufang's attention with playful words, "Mom, don't be so serious, you are most beautiful when you smile."

"Of course, our mom is the most beautiful mom in the world," Xiao Bao agreed sweetly.

Xu Xiufang snorted softly, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
