The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Faced with so many people and mountains of luggage, Xie Yi realized that ordinary means of transportation would be unable to cope with the situation, so he turned to Jiang Chengping for help.

Jiang Chengping is not only Xie Yi's good friend, but also a kind-hearted person. He agreed to the request without hesitation. Not only that, he also personally drove a spacious truck to solve everyone's urgent needs.

During the moving process, the friendship between neighbors was undoubtedly demonstrated.

Relatives of the Fang family came one after another, bidding farewell to Fang Kai with reluctance and blessings; and on the Xie family side, except for Qin Yunli who was unable to come because she was in confinement, the eldest son Xie from the main house came with several lively children to see him off. They surrounded Xie's father and mother, and dispelled the sadness of parting with gossip about family matters.

Just as Xu Xiufang was about to embark on her journey, Liu Ying grabbed her hand tightly.

It turned out that she had just learned from her youngest son last night that Xu Xiufang was about to leave.

"Why don't you stay a few more days? We didn't even have a good chat this time when you came back!"

Liu Ying's tone was full of regret.

"Is there any gossip you haven't told me yet? Tell me now!"

Xu Xiufang responded cheerfully, looking ready to listen.

In the past gatherings, whether Xu Xiufang took the initiative to find Liu Ying or Liu Ying came to her, Liu Ying always talked endlessly about various anecdotes and interesting things that happened in the village in the past year.

Liu Ying rolled her eyes in pretended anger and said with a smile: "Look at what you said. In your eyes, do I love gossip so much?"

Xu Xiufang gave her a half-smiling, half-teasing look, as if to say, "Aren't you?"

Liu Ying was speechless for a moment, her cheeks slightly red, and she reluctantly stuffed the hot white flour cake in her hand to Xu Xiufang, "Take it, eat it on the way!"

Xu Xiufang was surprised to find that the cake had the same familiar taste as last time. "I didn't give you any candy this year!"

she quipped.

"Why, I can't give you cake? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I won't give you cake unless you give me candy..." Liu Ying said with a stern face, pretending to be angry.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiufang took out a handful of candies from her pocket like magic and deliberately teased Liu Ying.

Seeing this, Liu Ying smiled brightly and stretched out her hands eagerly to receive the candy.

Xu Xiufang pretended to be dissatisfied: "Don't you want candy?"

"Who said that?"

Liu Ying immediately retorted, completely denying what she had just said, "You give me cakes, and I give you candy, these are two different things!"

Xu Xiufang snorted lightly to show her disapproval.

Liu Ying chuckled twice, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

At this moment, Xiaoxi appeared beside them silently and called out hesitantly, "Second Aunt..."

Xu Xiufang turned around and smiled gently, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"

"Second Aunt, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my mother for what she did in the past..." Xiaoxi's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, and her face was full of shame and guilt.

"Why are you apologizing for her?"

Xu Xiufang waved her hand, not seeming to mind, "Really, no need. I don't take those things to heart."

She really didn't take the incident to heart. In her eyes, the actions of those people were just insignificant episodes.

Although Xu Xiufang repeatedly said she didn't care, Xiaoxi's guilt did not diminish, and even increased her inner burden.

Looking at Xiaoxi's apologetic face, Xu Xiufang changed the subject: "How is your work at the textile factory going now?"

"pretty good!"

Xiaoxi quickly replied, with a hint of excitement in her tone, "Director Qian takes special care of me!"

"That's good."

Xu Xiufang nodded and asked with concern: "Did you continue to attend night school?"

"Have!"

When Xiaoxi mentioned this, her eyes lit up. "Second Aunt, Director Qian encouraged me to study hard and said that as long as my grades meet the standards, she would recommend me to study at the Textile Vocational High School in the name of the factory!"

"Really?"

Xu Xiufang was sincerely happy for Xiaoxi's progress. "Then you have to work harder. You have never been to junior high school. Director Qian must have been under a lot of pressure to recommend you like this. Don't let her down. More importantly, don't let yourself down!"

"Ok!"

Xiaoxi nodded heavily, knowing in her heart that in addition to her own efforts, she also had to thank her second aunt for saving Director Qian's life, which was why Director Qian cared about her so much.

She was determined not to let herself or those who loved her down.

Xu Xiufang patted Xiaoxi's shoulder gently, and then the group prepared to embark on their journey.

There is limited space in the front of the truck, so most people have to squeeze in the back of the truck with their luggage.

Fortunately, considering the cold weather, Jiang Chengping specially drove a covered truck, so that even if sitting in the back, everyone could sit around on small benches to avoid the invasion of the cold wind.

Out of respect for the elders, Xie's father and mother were given priority to sit in the front row. As Xie Yi's best friend, Jiang Chengping naturally accompanied them.

However, Xu Xiufang was unwilling to take up the precious front row seat and insisted on staying in the back with Fang Kai's family and children, enjoying this rare crowd and warmth.

After arriving at the county town, the team went to Zhou's house to welcome Feng Dongling and his family.

It was a huge team, with a total of sixteen people including children. With their dreams and anxieties about the future, they hurried to the train station, boarded the train to Beijing, and embarked on a new chapter in their lives.

Xiaoyun, Weiwei and other little ones were still young and not old enough to buy tickets by themselves, so their big family bought a total of twelve train tickets, carefully arranged to meet everyone's needs - including four economical and practical hard sleeper tickets, and eight relatively comfortable soft sleeper tickets.

On the eve of Xu Xiufang and her group's return from the bustling city of Beijing, she made a special trip to visit the highly respected Grandpa Xu in her family and begged to borrow the necessary identification documents.

The original plan was to purchase soft and comfortable sleeper tickets for everyone's travel experience. However, during China's unique Spring Festival travel peak period, soft sleeper tickets were hard to come by and the supply was extremely tight, making it impossible to meet the needs of all members. Therefore, we had to adopt a combination of soft and hard sleeper tickets to ensure that every family member could travel smoothly.

After completing the luggage check-in procedures, the group boarded the slowly moving train with anticipation for the journey and a little anxiety.

Considering that Xie's father and mother are old, the compact environment of the hard sleeper compartment is not suitable for them, not to mention that they have young and lively children who need the careful care of Feng Dongling and Xie Chunyan, but the conditions of the hard sleeper compartment are difficult for them to properly care for the children.

For Xiaobao, Xiaoyun and Weiwei, three young children, the soft sleeper carriage became an ideal safe haven during the crowded and noisy Spring Festival travel season.

Not only is the space here relatively independent, it is also equipped with private small rooms, which reduces external interference and is more suitable for children to rest.

Because Xiaoyun and Weiwei are young, they can share the berth with their adult relatives and enjoy parent-child time during the journey.

As for the remaining three soft sleeper tickets, they were originally prepared for Xu Xiufang, Dabao and Erbao.

However, the kind-hearted Erbao took the initiative to give up his comfortable seat to his friend Zhou Dani of the same age, and decided to follow his father, Fang Kai and Xiaojun to experience the liveliness and unity of the hard sleeper car.
