The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

At the same time, Xu Xiufang was riding her old bicycle leisurely along the country road towards Feng Dongling's home.

Since returning home last night, she and her family have been immersed in the joy of reunion after a long separation. Although the cottage is a little shabby due to years of disrepair, fortunately, the enthusiastic neighbor Xiaoxi helps to clean and maintain it from time to time, so that the basic living conditions can be maintained.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiufang felt a surge of gratitude in her heart.

Xie Chunyan caught sight of Xu Xiufang's figure from afar and became curious.

She hurriedly arranged the household chores, left the children in the care of Feng Dongling, and followed Xu Xiufang.

Passing by a busy stall, the two of them stopped involuntarily and decided to have breakfast there.

Although the changes in Fu County seem insignificant compared to the earth-shaking changes in Beijing, for those who grew up here, this change is like a dramatic upgrade, which is very moving.

While eating and chatting, the two shared their views on the latest news in the county, and their words were filled with pride for the progress of their hometown.

After the hearty meal, the two men, full of energy, drove straight to the destination of this trip - the textile factory.

When they arrived at the factory gate, the security staff had obviously not expected that this seemingly ordinary visitor was actually a big shot. They were about to speak out to stop him, but Tian Meihua, who had just come to work, happened to see them. She hurried forward to stop the security guard, with a tone that was a little reproachful but still friendly: "Hey, this is our big boss! How could you not recognize him?"

When the security guard heard this, he froze in his place as if he had been electrocuted. Xu Xiufang saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over. Her smile contained tolerance and understanding: "It's okay. We rarely come back. It's normal that you don't recognize us."

As she spoke, she gently patted Tian Meihua's arm and pretended to be angry, which made everyone smile knowingly.

Tian Meihua was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled even more brightly and turned to the security guard and said jokingly, "Remember, next time, don't let me pack up and leave with you!"

Xu Xiufang dragged Tian Meihua inside in a bad mood. Tian Meihua almost stumbled and said half-jokingly and half-complainingly, "I haven't even had the chance to tell you that you're coming back and you're already mad at me?"

In recent years, due to frequent overlap in work, the relationship between the two has become increasingly close.

Xu Xiufang smiled, her eyes cunning: "If I tell you, won't you turn around and tell Zhang Zhenxing that I'm back?"

Her words hit the nail on the head, after all, Zhang Zhenxing was Tian Meihua's brother-in-law.

Tian Meihua smiled helplessly, as if acquiescing to this fact.

Xu Xiufang changed the subject and asked, "So did you really tell Director Huang... No, now we should call him Deputy County Chief Huang, did you really tell him that I'm back?"

Xu Xiufang did not inform Tian Meihua in advance about returning home this time, but Jiang Chengping's secret dispatch of vehicles last night caught Tian Meihua's attention.

Jiang Cheng usually distinguishes between public and private matters, and seldom uses the company car at will, unless it is directly related to work, and he will do so without consulting her. This unusual behavior made Tian Meihua keenly aware that perhaps Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi had returned.

The county has produced two influential entrepreneurs, and the government has been looking for the right opportunity to communicate with them. However, they rarely return home and are always in a hurry, making it difficult to meet them.

Zhang Zhenxing thought of using Tian Meihua as a channel to get the exact news of their return.

Considering that they were relatives and it would be beneficial to the development of the county, Tian Meihua agreed without hesitation.

When she learned last night that Xu Xiufang had returned, she immediately passed on the news secretly.

At this moment, facing Xu Xiufang's questioning, Tian Meihua dodged with a guilty conscience and tried to change the subject: "Chunyan, did you have breakfast this morning?"

However, Xie Chunyan was not fooled. She smiled and broke free from Tian Meihua's hand, saying half-jokingly, "Director Qian, you should answer my second sister-in-law's question honestly first."

Tian Meihua smiled bitterly. She had indeed forgotten that Xie Chunyan was a well-known expert in protecting her sister.

Xu Xiufang chuckled, and Tian Meihua immediately confessed: "Okay, okay, their car should be heading to your village!"

Xu Xiufang secretly sighed that she had left home in time and had not been caught.

In order to make up for this little episode, Tian Meihua took the initiative to offer to be Xu Xiufang's "little tail", serving her tea.

The meeting at the textile factory lasted until noon. During lunch, Tian Meihua took the opportunity to apologize and paid for everyone to dine at the most upscale restaurant in the county. The group also included Tian Meihua's husband, who was also the director of the textile factory.

Pushing the door open, Xu Xiufang immediately caught a glimpse of the familiar and friendly face next to the main seat - Zhang Zhenxing.

She glanced at Tian Meihua, who and her husband looked shy and lowered their heads.

"Mr. Xu, I've heard a lot about you!"

The county magistrate stood up from the main seat and walked towards her with a smile on his face. Zhang Zhenxing followed closely behind him, and other officials also stood up to express their welcome.

"Hello, County Magistrate Lu."

Xu Xiufang stepped forward calmly. Her decision was clear. Since she had chosen to return, these scenes were inevitable.

After greeting him, her eyes turned to Zhang Zhenxing, and her smile was warm and friendly: "Deputy County Magistrate Huang, it's been a long time since we last met!"

Zhang Zhenxing's heart was full of ups and downs. In his memory, she was still the brave and clever educated young wife who worked hard on the rural land. But now, as time passed, she had transformed into a well-known figure in the industry, respected by everyone as "General Xu".

The unpredictable changes in this world are really amazing!

Amidst this heartfelt sigh, Zhang Zhenxing couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice full of the charm of time: "More than a dozen years have passed in the blink of an eye! I thought that with the passing of time, I had been forgotten by you in some corner."

"how could be?"

Xu Xiufang answered with a gentle smile on her face, and that smile seemed to contain countless past memories. "Deputy Director Huang, you helped our village build a primary school, so that the children in the village who were eager for knowledge had the opportunity to study. My son was one of them. His growth path was deeply imprinted with your grace. How can I easily forget such a profound friendship?"

When the county magistrate heard about this past, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "So there is such a deep connection between you two?"

Xu Xiufang was very observant and noticed the county magistrate's reaction. She knew that Zhang Zhenxing might have mentioned it already, but she cleverly followed the topic, maintained that heartwarming smile, and continued to reminisce the past with Zhang Zhenxing.

Tian Meihua, who was standing by, also took the opportunity to add to the story, telling how Xu Xiufang became the benefactor of her, Zhang Zhenxing's wife, and his sister. In such an atmosphere, the human touch at the table became even stronger.

Sitting around the sumptuous dining table, each leader is a rare talent with extraordinary wisdom and strategy.

Their purpose was clear. Inviting Xu Xiufang's investment became the core topic of the banquet, and the topic naturally turned to the economic field.
