The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens
Chapter 29: Being courteous for nothing
The villagers of Xiaoxi Village walked towards Xu Xiufang's home enthusiastically, carrying the specialties from their respective gardens.
"You helped us a lot by fixing the tractor. Here are the watermelons from our field. The kids will love them."
The simple words are full of gratitude.
Wu Dafu was carrying a basket of peaches with a simple smile on his face.
"This is from our peach orchard. Come pick it anytime you're done eating it."
Soon, the yard was bustling with all kinds of agricultural products and fruits piled up like small hills.
The three little guys sat around, holding fish balls in their little hands, curiosity and excitement sparkling in their eyes, and they smiled secretly from time to time.
Dabao and Erbao ate very fast, their cheeks were bulging, like two little squirrels.
In contrast, Xiaobao seemed exceptionally calm. He chewed slowly, occasionally looking up at the busy crowd, with a hint of tenderness and gratitude in his eyes. His restraint was more due to his cherishment of his body rather than a lack of enthusiasm.
"It's just a small matter, don't be so polite." Xu Xiufang smiled like a flower.
Wu Dafu was holding a dustpan in his hand with a simple look, he was planning to level the yard with dirt.
"Hey, we are free right now, and we want to stretch our legs after eating."
Inside the house, Xie Yi and the children witnessed this scene, their faces filled with surprise and confusion.
They never expected that Xu Xiufang would be able to get the entire village to lend a helping hand.
They held sweet peaches in their hands and followed Xu Xiufang's figure closely.
"How come Mom has become so capable?" There was a hint of inquiry in Xiaobao's innocent words, and his big eyes blinked as if he was looking for an answer.
Xie Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He also felt incredible, but was also proud of his wife.
……
Xu Xiufang woke up early and knew that the day was full of plans, so she quietly began to prepare breakfast.
When she opened the door, the scene before her was heartwarming.
There were a variety of breakfasts on the square table, and Xie Yi was carefully peeling eggs for the two little ones.
Xiaobao was dressed neatly and held his mother's hand.
The white porridge on the table was steaming slightly. The two children carefully held the two eggs remaining in the bowl.
Xu Xiufang sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and amusement in her eyes. This man is always so rough but also very delicate.
She glared at Xie Yi fiercely, with a look that contained both reproach and pity, and then took Xiao Bao to the bathroom.
When she came back, Xie Yi and the children had finished breakfast, and Xie Yi was buried in the drawings, focusing on the balance between housework and work.
Looking at the two remaining eggs, Xu Xiufang felt inexplicably moved.
She gently peeled the eggshell and handed it to Xiaobao, then turned to the focused Xie Yi and said softly, "I have to go to the city today. If you go out to work, don't forget to let Sister Li look after the children."
Xie Yi lowered his eyes, without looking up, only a faint "hmm" escaped from his throat.
Xu Xiufang swiftly got on the old bicycle and sped towards the bustling town.
Her silhouette lengthened in the morning light.
At this moment, Ma Chang's figure appeared behind the weathered old elm tree at the entrance of the village.
He looked cynical.
Xu Xiufang braked suddenly, and the bicycle tires made two sharp scratches on the dry ground. Amidst the flying dust, she stopped almost next to Ma Chang's body.
Her eyes widened instantly, with a hint of disbelief in her anger, and her gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"What are you doing here pretending to be mysterious?"
There was annoyance that was hard to conceal in Xu Xiufang's voice, and the coldness in her tone made people involuntarily want to retreat away.
Ma Chang seemed quite calm. He smiled gently and casually put one hand on the handlebar of the bicycle, his posture revealing a nonchalant elegance.
"Here, these are two movie tickets I just got. They're for the latest movie. How about it? Are you interested in accompanying me to the city to enjoy it?" After he finished speaking, he deliberately blinked his eyes.
Xu Xiufang's heart was filled with boredom.
She wondered in her heart where this guy got the confidence to be so persistent in pestering her.
Has he already forgotten the lesson from last time, or can people really be so shameless?
Seeing that Xu Xiufang didn't answer, Ma Chang threw out another bait: "Of course, after watching the movie, I can also accompany you to the busiest department store in the city to choose the most fashionable leather jacket. I guarantee that you will become the focus of the whole audience."
At this time, Xu Xiufang's mind began to work rapidly.
She remembered that Ma Chang had once vowed that he was not interested in her. Although he was plain-looking, he was an absolute veteran in the love field and could always attract people around him without realizing it.
At this moment, his sudden attentiveness obviously had other purposes. Xu Xiufang knew it very well. He must be planning some conspiracy, which was why he tried so hard to please her.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiufang adjusted her mood slightly, and a cunning light flickered in her clear eyes.
She leaned against the bicycle with a relaxed look, and said with a hint of playfulness, "Oh, Dr. Ma, I've recently taken a fancy to a pair of very popular bell-bottom pants."
As she said this, she did not forget to purse her lips gently. Her shy look was both seductive and innocent.
Ma Chang stared at Xu Xiufang in front of him. Her pitiful appearance unexpectedly touched a string in his heart, causing ripples.
In the past, even when Xu Xiufang touched him unintentionally, he always remained indifferent. But now, facing her like this, he unconsciously felt an indescribable tingling sensation all over his body.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy them all for you." Ma Chang said, and wanted to reach out for Xu Xiufang's hand, with a bit of impatience in his action.
Xu Xiufang felt a strong disgust in her heart, almost nauseating, but she still maintained her charming appearance on the surface, complaining delicately: "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Look at you, you look like you've been bewitched. Why don't we find a quiet place and take it slow? Wouldn't it be better?"
When Ma Chang heard this, a meaningful light flashed in his eyes, a look that was a mixture of desire and vigilance.
However, this greedy look only flashed by.
"Are you going to play tricks on me again, aren't you?" he murmured, his mind unable to help but recall Xu Xiufang's sudden indifference. The change was so great that he felt at a loss as to what to do.
If the conditions Zhou Xiaoyun proposed this time had not been too tempting, why would he have come here with all his might.
Xu Xiufang looked around casually, with a half-smile on her lips: "Have you forgotten that last time it was because my husband came home early? How could such a thing happen under his nose?"
"If we are discovered, neither you nor I will be able to escape responsibility." Her voice was a little deeper, revealing a hint of worry and rationality in her words.
