The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Fang Min, who was standing not far away, heard this and the corners of her mouth inadvertently rose. That smile was like the warm sun in winter, warm but not dazzling.

Xiao Bao took the opportunity to run to Fang Min again, his eyes twinkling like stars, "Sister Fang, you were so cool just now!"

The words are filled with the young man's infinite yearning and admiration for heroes.

Fang Min quickly put on a serious look and smiled politely at Xiaobao, with a barely perceptible tenderness and encouragement in her eyes, as if she was silently responding to Xiaobao's enthusiasm in this way.

Dabao seized the opportunity and began to teach Xiaobao like an elder brother, with a tone that was both stern and caring.

Xu Xiufang deliberately slowed down her pace. At this time, Xiaoxi quietly approached and whispered with a gossipy look on her face: "Second Aunt, is this girl Dabao's girlfriend?"

Her voice was full of curiosity and tentativeness.

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang looked up at Fang Min who was talking to Dabao in front of her. Coincidentally, Fang Min also turned back to look for her at this moment. Their eyes met in the air. Fang Min's eyes seemed to carry a trace of imperceptible guilt. She then nodded slightly to her and followed Dabao's pace.

Xiaoxi caught this subtle change and frowned slightly, feeling guilty?

Feeling guilty about her?

Just as he was about to ask, he heard Xu Xiufang's light laughter with a hint of amusement: "That's not a bad idea!"

That sentence seemed to leave a lingering echo in the air, leaving people with endless aftertaste.

Xiaoxi: “…” For a moment, she was confused. What did this sentence mean?

Xie Laosan's actions completely broke the hearts of Xie's father and mother. When it was time for dinner, he still did not show up. Even Gu Xiaoling, who always appeared as a peacemaker, chose to be absent.

Gu Xiaoling originally wanted to persuade the children to go over for dinner, but was rudely interrupted by Xie Laosan, who even threatened that if they went, they would never come back.

Those harsh words penetrated the air and fell clearly into the ears of Xie's father and mother, causing another wave of anger and sadness.

The eldest family sat around the dining table. The atmosphere was suffocatingly depressing. Everyone chose to remain silent, fearing that one careless move would tip the edge of this fragile balance.

In comparison, the dinner at Xu Xiufang's place was much more peaceful. Although there was less laughter and joy, at least everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The calm on the surface concealed the turbulent waves in her heart.

After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Xie chose to return to the old house to rest, perhaps only there they could find a bit of long-lost peace.

Xiaoxi's family was about to leave. Before leaving, Xiaoxi asked worriedly, "Second Aunt, are two rooms enough for so many people? How about letting Fang Min or Xiaoyun stay at my house for one night?"

Xu Xiufang turned her gaze to Fang Min again, and the latter responded almost immediately: "I can sleep on the floor in the main room!"

Her tone was firm, without any hesitation.

Flooring?

How can this be?

Xiaoxi was surprised, and then thought that she didn't know Fang Min's true identity, so she hurriedly looked at Xu Xiufang, her eyes full of questions, waiting for her confirmation.

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows and sighed in her heart. She always thought that although Fang Min was very skilled, she was a girl after all, and perhaps she was brought up in pampered style.

"If you don't want to, forget it," Xu Xiufang replied casually, her words revealing a sense of indifference, but also a sense of consideration.

Xiaoxi had no choice but to give up and set out on the journey home with Wu Jun and Cao Xiaoming.

And Xu Xiufang really let Fang Min spread the mat on the floor in the main room, while she, Xiaoyun and Xiaobao squeezed into the small room, and Dabao occupied another bedroom alone.

Fang Min was obviously surprised by such an arrangement. As a subordinate of Xu Xiufang's son, she felt nervous and indescribably surprised to be able to be in the same room with Xu Xiufang.

"I'll just sleep on the floor," Fang Min said hastily. She mistakenly thought Xu Xiufang was worried about her staying alone in the main hall, so she quickly explained, "My family runs a martial arts school. When I was a kid, I often slept on the floor in the yard with my senior brothers and sisters. I'm used to it!"

There is a sense of tenacity and independence in his words.

"If you feel uncomfortable sleeping with me, then go to the main room," Xu Xiufang said in a gentle but insistent tone, "but if it's for other reasons, don't mind."

Upon hearing this, Fang Min hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and pursed her lips, trying to hide the shyness and joy that was about to overflow.

In her heart, Xie Kailin’s mother is so great!

Xu Xiufang has been taking the train these days. Although she feels physically tired, her sleep quality is not ideal.

Fang Min was almost completely new to photography. The camera in her hand seemed unfamiliar and clumsy. She gently stroked the edge of the camera, a barely perceptible blush on her cheeks. She whispered shyly, "My skills are really not good enough. The art of photography is too advanced for me. It's because you, Mr. Xu, have an outstanding temperament. No matter which angle you capture it from, you have your own charm."

Xu Xiufang did not follow the cliché of modestly declining. Instead, she looked at Fang Min with a warm and encouraging look, and her tone was full of unquestionable strength: "You will improve if you practice more. Believe me, everyone can find their own perspective."

For Fang Min, Xu Xiufang is not only a respectable elder, her son Xie Kailin is the untouchable light in Fang Min's heart.

At the same time, Xu Xiufang's decisiveness and outstanding achievements in the workplace made Fang Min feel awe and nervousness when facing her.

However, Xu Xiufang's unexpected friendliness, like a gentle spring breeze, brushed away Fang Min's anxiety. She mustered up her courage and said in a soft but sincere voice, "Excuse me, is there any special reason why you are so keen on taking photos?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiufang's eyes flashed with tenderness. She looked up at the azure sky and gently pressed the shutter button. The clouds captured in the camera lens seemed to contain endless emotions. She smiled gently, "I took these photos for my boyfriend. He is not around for the time being. I think through these photos, he can also feel the warmth of home."

After hearing this, Fang Min was overwhelmed with emotion. She was stunned for a moment, and finally spoke from the bottom of her heart: "Your feelings are really enviable. The friendship between you and Mr. Xie is as deep as still waters."

Xu Xiufang did not respond directly, but just smiled instead of saying thousands of words. Behind that smile was a tacit understanding that only they themselves understood.

At this moment, a slight noise broke the silence. Dabao was awakened by the sound outside while he was half asleep. He walked out of the room in pajamas, with his eyes half-closed and yawning lazily.

When he first saw Fang Min, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then pretended to be calm, pretending nothing had happened, and turned back to his room to change clothes.
