The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens
Chapter 335 Watching a Movie
Xie's mother finally felt relieved, as it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.
She thought about how she had secretly added more seasonings to cater to the children's tastes, so how could the taste be bad?
Even though she knew that Xu Xiufang's family tended to eat light food, out of love for her children, Xie's mother still bravely adjusted her cooking habits and added more seasonings.
"Then I'll help you with the work," Xie's mother immediately suggested, her eyes flickering with a desire to learn, "and I'll take this opportunity to learn how to cook from you."
Xu Xiufang readily agreed, and the mother and daughter worked in the kitchen in tacit understanding. As the sun set, a sumptuous dinner gradually took shape thanks to their joint efforts.
When Xiaobao came home from school, he was surprised by the dishes on the table as soon as he entered the door. "Mom, did you make all these?"
His voice was full of surprise and anticipation.
Xu Xiufang smiled and asked back: "Yes, does it smell good?"
Xiaobao immediately shouted excitedly: "It smells great!"
He cheered and ran happily to get the bowl and chopsticks, ready to enjoy this delicious meal.
Xu Xiufang looked at Xiaobao's innocent appearance and laughed secretly in her heart. The world of children is really simple and straightforward. A little delicious food can easily smooth out all the little unhappiness.
As the night deepened, Xie Yi returned home after a tiring day.
Thanks to the assistance of Fang Kai and Feng Dongling, his burden was lightened a lot and he was able to return home on time to share dinner.
The first thing he did after returning home was to take a shower and change clothes. Xu Xiufang thoughtfully prepared clothes and told her husband about the plan to watch a movie in the evening: "Brother Yi, hurry up and take a shower, we are going to watch a movie tonight."
"See a movie?"
Xie Yi raised his eyebrows. On the way, he vaguely heard some young people mention that today was February 2th, Valentine's Day in the West. Although the current social trend no longer advocates celebrating such Western festivals, many couples still choose to take this opportunity to spend a romantic time together.
Xie Yi didn't expect his wife to take the initiative to ask for a date on Valentine's Day. The corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, and a sweet feeling welled up in his heart: "Okay."
He quickly finished his bath and changed into relatively formal clothes.
After the meal, his wife went back to the bedroom to get the bag, while he went to move the bicycle.
Just at this moment, Erbao rode his bicycle slowly over and stopped nearby.
Xie Yi frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"
"Watch a movie."
Erbao's answer seemed a little dull. It was obvious that he had not yet fully recovered from the gloom of the day and had not noticed his father's subtle emotional changes.
Xie Yi sighed softly and said gently but firmly: "You won't follow me this time. Go back and read more books."
He wanted Erbao to continue his studies and not be distracted by temporary entertainment.
When Erbao heard this, his face was instantly filled with confusion and loss.
Xu Xiufang happened to walk out of the door. When she heard this, she almost laughed out loud: "Brother Yi, Erbao is going to be with us tonight too. We have to hurry up, the movie is about to start."
Erbao caught a glimpse of his father's fleeting subtle expression and couldn't help but snort. He pedaled his bicycle unconvincedly, and rushed forward with a whoosh, leaving a trail of dissatisfied tracks.
Xie Yi had a vague feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. If it was a date between the two of them, he would never bring Erbao along.
But if it is a family activity, the wife would not suggest bringing the second baby along on her own.
As he got on his bicycle, he casually asked, "Wife, is there anything happening tonight that I haven't heard of?"
Xu Xiufang sat on the back of the bicycle and lightly recounted the incident that happened at noon: "It's nothing serious, just a small conflict between Erbao and Xiaobao."
Xie Yi frowned when he heard this: "Is he angry with you?"
Xu Xiufang quickly clarified: "Not really, it was mainly because I had a few words with Xiaobao."
Her words were full of understanding and tolerance for her son.
After hearing this, Xie Yi couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "This kid has quite a bad temper."
Xu Xiufang patted Xie Yi's back gently, signaling him to stay calm: "Don't lose your temper with him. After all, he is about to take the high school entrance exam. He is under a lot of pressure, and it is normal for him to have mood swings."
"I see," Xie Yi replied calmly, "I have an idea in mind."
In this simple conversation, the couple's love and understanding for their children are fully revealed, and the warmth and harmony of the family are vividly portrayed on paper.
They soon arrived at the cinema. Xu Xiufang looked up and saw the bustling crowd. Couples were holding hands and a sweet atmosphere filled the air. She suddenly realized that today was Valentine's Day and the air seemed to be filled with romance.
No wonder when I mentioned to Xie Yi that I wanted to watch a movie, he had a meaningful smile on his face, as if his eyes were saying, "Don't you know what day it is today?"
Xu Xiufang immediately gave Xie Yi a big eye roll that showed helplessness and a bit of anger.
Xie Yi couldn't help laughing. He took out two crumpled banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the excited Erbao beside him, saying, "Erbao, take these two dollars and buy two buckets of popcorn. Come back quickly!"
His tone was full of fondness and anticipation.
"Shouldn't we buy three buckets? One for each of Dad, Mom and me."
Erbao raised his little face with a puzzled glint in his eyes, and he seemed not to understand his father's arrangement.
"One bucket is enough for your mom and me. We have to be frugal, right?"
Xie Yi explained with a smile, a sly gleam in his eyes.
"Why are you two eating from one bucket? Has the family's purse shrunk?"
Erbao blinked his eyes, looking puzzled, "No, that's not right. Two dollars can buy several small buckets now."
Xie Yi did not respond, but just shook his head with a mysterious smile on his face, "...
It’s up to you. You can buy as many barrels as you want.”
Erbao ran away happily. Not long after, he found the newly launched Coke in the sales department. The shiny bottle looked particularly tempting under the light. He had begged for it many times on New Year's Day, but was always rejected by his parents on the grounds that he should "drink less carbonated drinks".
This time, Erbao couldn't hold back his desire and bought three bottles at once. He came back like he was holding a treasure and said proudly, "Dad, look, I also bought three bottles of Coke. How about one for each of us three?"
His face was filled with the satisfaction that is unique to a child.
Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "...What about the popcorn?"
Erbao only then remembered the original mission and scratched his head awkwardly, "Well... I used all the money to buy Coke."
Xie Yi sighed, took out another two dollars from his pocket and handed it over, "Remember to buy popcorn first this time, and the rest of the money, well, you can keep it for yourself."
There was a subtle indulgence and warmth in his eyes.
Erbao was so surprised that he was almost speechless. His father, who had often been scolded for being naughty in the past, not only did not criticize him this time, but also took the initiative to give him pocket money!
The warmth surging in his heart turned into motivation, and Erbao quickly ran back to the store and excitedly brought back three buckets of sweet popcorn.
Xu Xiufang glanced at Xie Yi from the corner of her eye and said with a smile: "You were really gentle to Erbao today."
Xie Yi raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat proud, "Didn't I tell you long ago that I know how to handle these little things?"
Although Xu Xiufang had some doubts in her heart, she did not say much. She just silently felt the subtle harmony within the family.
