The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Zhou Xiaoyun's marriage has not been settled yet, but Old Lady Xie is trying to match them up day after day. When will this complicated emotional entanglement have a bright future?

No, we must not let Old Mrs. Xie get the upper hand. In the past few days, in addition to taking good care of these lively children, she also had an important mission in her heart.

That is to try to make these two enemies, who are always at loggerheads, find a way to live in peace again.

She longed to see them put aside their past grievances and finally reach a reconciliation.

This vision, deep in Xu Xiaohua's soft heart, urgently longs for the nourishment of sunshine and rain.

"You only have two rooms in your house. I have no place to sleep at night."

Xu Xiaohua said softly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her voice.

She saw clearly that they had been sleeping in separate rooms during this period, and she felt extremely anxious, as if there was a fire burning in her chest that could not be quenched.

Xu Xiufang almost choked on the food in her mouth when she heard this. She knew her sister's delicate thoughts too well, so she suddenly had an idea and suggested, "Let's sleep in the same bed. It's just right that we can bring Yueyue with us."

As soon as she finished speaking, the three little ones seemed to have a telepathic connection and cheered in unison: "We want to sleep with our brothers and sisters! And with Auntie too!"

Their voices are clear and pleasant, full of expectation and joy.

Xu Xiufang was speechless for a moment, and Xie Yi was just slightly stunned. The two looked at each other, and the scene was a little awkward but warm.

Xu Xiaohua looked at the two of them, with a sly smile in her eyes: "Although I come here often, I have never had the opportunity to sleep with these three little rascals. This time is a good opportunity for them to enjoy the rare excitement and happiness with their brothers and sisters."

When the little ones heard this, they were so excited that they couldn't express it in words. They dropped their bowls and chopsticks, jumped and laughed, and the whole house was filled with childlike laughter.

Xu Xiufang seemed more thoughtful. She took a sip of the soup, her mind already on how to properly arrange the night.

Xie Yi seemed to be affected by this sudden family atmosphere, and was a little uneasy. He had to bite the bullet and drink a mouthful of soup, and made up an excuse: "There are still some things to deal with on the construction site, I'll go over and take a look first."

In front of Xu Xiaohua, Xie Yi's face unconsciously softened a lot, and the tenderness he showed was almost impossible to conceal.

As he was about to step out of the door, he added, "Put the dishes there first, and I'll wash them when I get back."

Xu Xiaohuasheng was afraid that Xie Yi would not come back easily after leaving, so he quickly said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back and take a shower. Remember to come back early. The children still need a shower. I have some things that need to be repaired here. You should come home early so that we can work together."

These words are straightforward and simple, revealing a kind of clumsy sincerity.

After hearing this, Xie Yi knew what he meant, but he couldn't bear to expose it, so he just responded with a simple "OK".

As his back gradually disappeared outside the courtyard gate, although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was surging with regrets for what he had said without thinking.

However, asking him to do those decisive and indifferent things is not what he is good at after all.

Forget it. I was originally planning to stay one night at the project department at the construction site, but now it seems that this plan is going to fall through.

Xu Xiufang tasted the delicious pickled fish, but even though the delicious food was in front of her, her mind was not on it.

"The three kids have looked much better recently, especially Xiaobao. He doesn't look as sickly as before." These words came from Xu Xiaohua, sincere and gratifying.

Xu Xiufang, who had been eating with her head down, raised her head when she heard the words and cast her gentle eyes towards the three children who were growing up gradually. Indeed, the shadow of malnutrition had gradually dissipated from them.

"You've lost a lot of weight recently. Even that little bit of baby fat is gone."

Xu Xiaohua used to often joke with her sister that she should control her diet, but now seeing with her own eyes how thin Xu Xiufang has become, her heart is filled with pity and reluctance.

So, she quickly scooped up a spoonful of rice and wanted to add more for her sister: "Eat more, don't be in a hurry, your health is important, take your time, don't rush to lose weight."

Xu Xiufang gently pressed down the spoon that was about to add more rice. The strong affection between the sisters made her heart warm, but also made her at a loss for a moment.

Finally, she had to pretend to be relaxed and refuse: "Sister, I am used to eating small meals frequently now. It won't be too late to eat when I am really hungry."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaohua slowly put down the spoon in her hand, her eyes full of understanding and care for her sister.

The last ray of light of sunset is like a shy child, quietly hiding in the arms of the distant mountains. Only a touch of light purple remains in the sky, gradually blending into the tenderness of the night.

After washing up, the five children jumped on the soft big bed like unbridled ponies.

Feeling fresh after a bath, Xu Xiufang slowly sat down beside her sister Xu Xiaohua's bed.

There was a subtle hesitation in her movements, and she was hesitating whether to speak.

The conversation between the two sisters was gentle and intimate. They talked about family matters, and the daily trivialities became warm and interesting as they shared with each other.

However, how could Xu Xiufang hide the little thoughts in her heart from the meticulous Xu Xiaohua?

"You two are already married, but you still sleep in separate rooms at night. Is this unacceptable if it gets out?" Xu Xiaohua pretended to blame, but there was a smile in her eyes.

She imitated the tone of the older generation, as if she had instantly become a worried old lady, "Do you still remember how Tian Liping used to tease you? Even if the outside voices may not be right, newlyweds should indeed spend more time together, so as to enhance their relationship."

At this moment, Xu Xiaohua was chattering like a kind but nagging old woman, which made Xu Xiufang feel helpless but also warm.

Even if she had a thousand reasons, she couldn't speak them out at this moment.

"Relationships take time to develop. Living under the same roof day and night, even if there isn't much affection at first, you can still rely on each other over time."

Xu Xiaohua's words were full of earnestness. "Don't talk nonsense to me here. Xie Yi must be getting impatient waiting over there."

These slightly awkward yet caring words made Xu Xiufang's mouth twitch involuntarily.

She could almost foresee that if she continued to delay, her sister's "righteous" hands would reach out to her ears and give her a loving education.

"Okay, if I really toss and turn over there, I'll sneak back to chat with you, okay?" Xu Xiufang's words were a bit coquettish.

Xu Xiaohua smiled and waved her hand, "When you are tired, you will naturally fall asleep, so just go ahead and rest assured."

Xu Xiufang's inner struggle and helplessness made her feel as if she was bound by invisible ropes, and she wished she could find a way out to free herself.
