The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 52: The Iceberg That Is Hard to Melt

In her mind, the ideal partner should be a gentleman with good conversation and who can walk with her spiritually and emotionally.

However, when her eyes fell on the fat fish on the chopping board again, all her fantasies disappeared in an instant, and the triviality and helplessness of reality reappeared.

These three children have undoubtedly added many unexpected challenges to her life, making it so confusing that one can't help but sigh.

What gave her even more headaches was her own physical condition.

Judging from the children's faces, the original owner who had never met should have been quite good-looking, and might even look somewhat similar to himself in his previous life.

Looking back to before she traveled through time, as an elite woman in the high-tech industry, she was not only a recognized talent, but also a beautiful president that everyone admired. Every time she appeared at an exhibition or a World Expo, she would become the focus of everyone's attention.

Oh, never mind. The most important thing right now is to settle myself down and wait until my career starts to revive before I start losing weight!

After you have successfully lost weight, you can slowly consider those complicated emotional entanglements.

She meticulously cut the fresh fish meat into translucent thin slices, and then carefully took out a few slices of perfectly pickled sauerkraut and radish from the jar.

These delicacies with unique flavors were obviously beyond the reach of the original owner's craftsmanship, and it was even more impossible for them to be made by Xie Yi.

How could a man with a rough appearance have such a delicate mind inside?

This made Xu Xiufang feel more deeply Xu Xiaohua's meticulous love and care for her.

Kimchi, chili sauce, fermented bean curd, pickled ginger...

There is never a shortage of these condiments at home, why?

The answers to all these point to Xu Xiaohua, who delivers them to them regularly and tirelessly.

In spring, she would bring fragrant mugwort cakes and crisp spring bamboo shoots; in summer, it would be all kinds of brightly colored green and red peppers and sour beans that were appetizing and refreshing; in the harvest year of autumn, the amount of food Xu Xiaohua sent was so much that it had to be packed in a sack; even if it was a few eels or loaches occasionally caught in the fields, Xu Xiaohua would generously share half of them with her sister.

How can one not be moved by such deep friendship?

Xu Xiufang repeatedly reminded her sister to make a pot of nourishing soup to provide nutrition for the three young members of the family.

However, when the soup was finally cooked, she enjoyed it secretly without anyone knowing, and the satisfaction she felt was like temporarily forgetting all her worries.

The small vegetable garden at home, which is evergreen and full of vitality, thrives thanks to Xu Xiaohua's careful care.

Because of this, it is not difficult to understand why Xie Yi's attitude towards Xu Xiaohua is so close, even surpassing the care and love he has for his own brothers and sisters.

Grateful Xu Xiufang carefully washed the pickled peppers and pickles, ready to show off her skills.

Above the fire, rapeseed oil jumped happily in the iron pot, making a slight hissing sound.

As the sauerkraut and pickled peppers jumped into the hot oil, a mouth-watering aroma spread in an instant.

A small amount of fish bones mixed with fish meat are slowly fried in boiling oil until both sides are golden brown, and then gently removed and set aside.

Next, onions, ginger, garlic and peppercorns are put into the pot one by one and blend with the clear well water. Under the stimulation of the high fire, the color of the soup gradually deepens and the rich aroma fills the nose, filling the whole kitchen with a warm atmosphere.

At this moment, Xu Xiaohua was holding a small hoe and carrying two tender green cucumbers on her shoulders. It was obvious that she had just finished working in the vegetable garden and returned home with a full load.

"What delicious dish is it? It smells so good. The cucumbers will become old if we keep them any longer. Why not make it into a cold dish today? I remember my brother-in-law particularly likes this taste." She said as she walked into the kitchen.

Xu Xiufang's heart tightened. Her sister's mind seemed to always revolve around that man, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She expressed her dissatisfaction bluntly: "I like stir-fried cucumber with green peppers, why should I give him a cold salad?"

After she finished speaking, she slid the marinated fish fillet lightly into the boiling water, unaware that Xu Xiaohua behind her was staring at her with sharp eyes, as sharp as a blade, as if to penetrate all disguises.

Xu Xiaohua gritted her teeth, her expression revealing helplessness and resentment: "Just do as I say. You know best what you like. If you don't even feel sorry for your man, who else can you expect to feel sorry for him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Xiufang, who was about to turn around and argue, was suddenly met with Xu Xiaohua's stern gaze. She was speechless for a moment, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Without giving her any chance to explain, Xu Xiaohua's words bombarded her like a string of cannonballs: "Do you know that because of your momentary impulse, Xie Yi not only lost his hard-earned job, but also his life trajectory has changed drastically. And you, not only did you not have the slightest intention of reflecting on it, but you also acted so recklessly without considering the consequences."

"Every month, he gives you all the money he earns from hard work, and he takes good care of the children. Can't you see how precious it is to have a man who is willing to support you? What kind of fog has obscured your heart, so that you can't even distinguish the most basic right and wrong?"

"Xie Yi, he is so different, completely opposite to the irresponsible Guo Shunqiang. He is down-to-earth and has a strong sense of responsibility towards his family. Once you miss such a person, it will be a permanent regret. In this vast sea of ​​people, it may be harder than climbing to the sky to find such a pure and deep love again." Xu Xiaohua's eyes were full of worry about her sister's future happiness.

Facing her sister's harsh accusations, Xu Xiufang tried to hide her inner turmoil with an indifferent attitude. Her voice was deliberately relaxed: "Humph, it's just an iceberg that is hard to melt. How can a mortal like me afford to support it?"

These words seemed to push all the problems and responsibilities onto Xie Yi, completely ignoring his own inappropriate behavior.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaohua's anger was instantly ignited. Without saying a word, she grabbed Xu Xiufang's ear, with a bit of pity and helplessness in her strength: "What did you say? Dare you repeat such a rash word again?"

At this moment, she was not only angry, but more disappointed that her sister did not know how to cherish her.

"You always do this, magnifying every little flaw of his, but never seeing his efforts and sacrifices. He is also a human being, with his own dignity and bottom line. What he needs is not only your dependence, but also understanding, support and respect from his partner. Your behavior has deeply hurt him. Have you ever thought about how much subtle fatigue and sadness are hidden on that face that always silently endures everything?"
