The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens
Chapter 334 Stand out
Erbao was still angry, but when he saw his mother's kind face, his resentment seemed to soften.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he silently picked up the bowl of rice and began to chew in big mouthfuls, as if this could temporarily make him forget his worries.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
As Xu Xiufang spoke, she gently pushed a cup of warm milk to Erbao's hand, her eyes full of love and care.
"Mom, I'm in a mess right now, please leave me alone, I don't want to lose my temper with you."
Although Erbao's tone was firm, his movements had obviously slowed down, and it was obvious that he was struggling to control his emotions.
"Then I will stay silent and stay here with you until you are willing to speak."
Xu Xiufang suggested, with a gleam of maternal love in her eyes.
After hearing this, Erbao nodded silently, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
When Xie's mother and others saw this, they tactfully took the other children and quietly left the room, allowing this moment of tranquility to continue.
After a long time, as the last grain of rice entered his mouth, Erbao's emotions seemed to calm down a lot.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and then spoke softly: "Mom, you can talk now!"
Xu Xiufang asked at the right moment: "Are you tired of studying?"
Faced with his mother's question, Erbao first shook his head to deny it, then nodded slightly, his tightly pursed lips revealing his inner conflict and struggle.
"If you are tired of it, don't study for the time being," Xu Xiufang's advice was gentle and full of understanding. "Learning is meant to make life more fulfilling, not a burden."
Erbao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he looked up at his mother and said in a small and puzzled voice: "If you don't study, how can you enter the military academy?"
"I'm not saying you don't have to learn anymore," Xu Xiufang explained patiently, "but I'm saying you can take a proper rest when you feel tired, like playing with your brothers and sisters, just like they did just now, without any worries."
"But I don't like playing with them. They are too childish."
Erbao's face showed obvious disapproval.
"Then you can go play with your eldest brother. He's at grandma's house. You can go over and stay for a few days. School hasn't started yet anyway, so you can relax."
Xu Xiufang's words are filled with deep love and understanding.
Erbao felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that his mother didn't force him.
He hesitated and asked, "Mom, aren't you afraid that I will play around and stop studying?"
Xu Xiufang smiled gently and said softly, "I just don't want you to be ignorant. It's your dream to enter a military academy, so I have strict requirements on your studies. But remember, no matter what choice you make, your mother will always support you."
"But now I don't want to go to school anymore," Erbao's voice was low and lost, more like a denial of himself, "I think some of the questions are too difficult, I can't learn them!"
Xu Xiufang is well aware of the hardships of studying, especially for a child like Erbao who is not keen on books, she can't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart.
However, looking at Erbao's eyes filled with stubbornness and unwillingness, she didn't want her son to regret it in the future because of a temporary frustration.
So she suggested: "How about I take you to see a movie? If you think it through and still decide to give up, I will support you."
"it is good!"
Erbao’s answer was firm. What he needed was exactly this opportunity to regain motivation.
"Then shall we go and see it?"
Xu Xiufang asked tentatively.
"Let's take Dad along," Erbao suddenly suggested, as if he had found a little comfort in the warmth of his family.
Xu Xiufang nodded and watched Erbao go straight back to his room after finishing his meal, while she quietly cleaned up the dishes and walked towards the kitchen.
Xie's father and mother were worried, so they approached and asked anxiously, "Xiufang, is Erbao okay? I've never seen him lose his temper like that."
"It's okay, it's just a small problem in his studies, he's trying to be tough with himself."
Xu Xiufang smiled gently, her words full of tolerance.
"This child, if you have any difficulties, you have to tell him and solve them together as a family."
Xie's mother complained distressedly.
"He's about to take the high school entrance exam, so it's natural that he's under a lot of pressure."
Xu Xiufang was relieved. She understood that every child would encounter various challenges on the road to growth. What was important was mutual support and encouragement among family members.
Mother Xie nodded gently, with a sudden interest flashing in her eyes. She spoke slowly, with a bit of curiosity and warmth in her voice: "Xiufang, does Erbao also plan to go to college in the future?"
This sentence seemed to open up a new topic, and a sense of anticipation filled the air.
Xu Xiufang smiled gently when she heard this. She deftly put the washed dishes neatly into the cupboard and replied, "Sanbao and Xiaoyun have both made up their minds to take the college entrance examination and pursue their dreams of going to college."
Her tone was full of determination and pride. As a mother, she was undoubtedly her children's strongest support, supporting them in their pursuit of knowledge.
Such a scene makes people imagine that this ordinary family may give birth to five college students in the future, and a sense of glory quietly spreads in this space.
Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie exchanged glances, which contained indescribable joy and pride, as if they saw the bright future of their offspring.
Father Xie's smile almost overflowed from his face. He praised repeatedly, with a bit of excitement in his voice: "Good! Good! Good! Our Xie family is finally going to make a name for itself."
Between the words, there is infinite longing and confidence for the children's future.
Xu Xiufang changed the subject and made another request: "Mom and Dad, Brother Yi and I are going to take Erbao to see a movie tonight. Can you please take care of Xiaoyun?"
These words were thoughtful and considerate. Although Mr. Xie was a little puzzled as to why he took Erbao to the movies alone, he changed his mind and thought that it might be because Erbao had been emotionally unstable recently and needed some special comfort, so he readily agreed: "Xiufang, don't worry, we will take good care of Xiaoyun. You can take Erbao to relax. This child studies too hard, and it's time for him to take a break."
Xu Xiufang responded gratefully: "Thank you, Dad."
After a moment, she suggested to Xie's mother: "Mom, don't bother cooking tonight, let me do it."
Upon hearing this, Xie's mother waved her hands hastily, with a hint of insistence in her words: "Oh, that's not possible, let me do it..." In fact, since moving to Beijing, the men in the family, such as Feng Dongling and Fang Kai, have followed Xie Yi to work hard in the scrap factory, while the women in the family are busy with their own things, and the daily life at home has become particularly tight.
The eldest child lived with his grandmother, the second child was immersed in his studies, and the youngest child became the only free person in the family. Xie's mother felt sorry for the youngest child's overwork, so she made an excuse to let the youngest child take his younger siblings to play, but in fact it was to give the youngest child a break, and she silently took on the responsibility of cooking.
Mother Xie asked anxiously, "Xiufang, is it possible that the food I cooked is not to everyone's taste?"
The tone is full of self-reflection and care.
Xu Xiufang couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this. Her smile was filled with warmth and understanding. "Mom, that's impossible. The food you cook may not be considered delicacies from land and sea, but it definitely tastes like home. It's warm and familiar."
She then explained that Xiaobao was in a bad mood today because of being scolded by his second brother. As compensation, she wanted to make some delicious food for this little foodie to soothe his heart.
