The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Such changes made her sigh that even the maintenance effect brought by the special blood-sucking physique was inseparable from the original good foundation.

In her mind, Xu Xiufang began to picture her perfect image after she lost another 40 pounds. She did not seek to be extremely skinny, but only to be over 100 pounds, retaining the soft curves of a woman while still maintaining health and vitality. This was a state that she could not easily achieve even if she spent a lot of money to hire a private trainer in her previous life.

Thinking of this, she was full of confidence in the future.

At the same time, on the other side, Xie Yi was sitting at an antique square table, concentrating on studying books on bridge and road construction, his eyes flashing with a desire for knowledge and a vision for the future.

Xu Xiufang was not willing to be left behind. She carefully took out various learning materials purchased from the stationery store from her schoolbag, preparing to initiate a small family knowledge sharing event.

"Children, put down the glass balls in your hands and come to our little family gathering!" Her voice was full of joy and anticipation.

On the floor, five children were enjoying the fun of playing marble bouncing, especially Yueyue. Although she was a girl, her precise shooting skills were far beyond the reach of the four boys.

The competition between them was intense and full of childish fun. The desire to win made the little boys unwilling to give up the game easily. As for Xu Xiufang's call, they tacitly chose to pretend not to hear it.

Xu Xiufang pursed her cherry-like lips gently, a hint of helplessness and approval flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but secretly agree in her heart that these three little guys were exactly the same as her in this regard.

When faced with words that they don't want to hear, they seem to be born with a mechanism that can automatically filter out unpleasant information, leaving only the pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.

They should start to learn to put down the mud in their hands, explore a wider world, and accept the hardships of growth.

Xu Xiufang is well aware that as their guide, she shoulders a heavy responsibility.

That is to lead these three little lives onto the right track so that they can become useful talents in the future instead of being addicted to children's games all day long.

She couldn't help but sigh that the children's unfamiliarity with learning was not intentional.

In this remote village, every child has been living with loess and mud since he can remember, or has been following his father all day, herding cattle and sheep, moving between rice fields, and learning how to plant rice.

Even she herself, because of the original owner's laziness, her family never raised cattle or sheep. The only few hens they had were only for producing a few eggs to eat every day. As for the time-consuming and labor-intensive work of raising pigs, it was naturally omitted, and even the trivial task of collecting pig grass was written off.

However, everything has turned around now. Now that she has come into this world, she has the confidence to change the status quo with her own hands and bring economic improvement to the family.

The education of the children cannot be taken lightly. She must not let these three little kids become blind people who only know how to play.

So she casually broke off a locust tree branch. Although the slender branch was not enough to cause substantial pain, it was enough to serve as a warning.

"You guys, do you have cotton stuffed in your ears?"

Xu Xiufang pretended to be stern and acted as if she was about to teach someone a lesson.

When the children saw this scene, they ran away in all directions like frightened sparrows.

Erbao frowned, his face flushed red, and he protested unconvincedly: "We didn't do anything wrong, why should we be beaten?"

Xu Xiufang knew very well that Erbao was a naughty child who always found various excuses to escape.

"When I called you, you pretended not to hear me. Shouldn't you be punished for that?"

Erbao was still stubborn, "We really didn't hear it."

Of course Xu Xiufang would not actually do it, her purpose was just to get the children's attention.

"How about this, let's draw together. Whoever draws the most realistic and beautiful picture will have me personally make candied haws for him to satisfy his craving."

She proposed a new plan with a gentle gleam in her eyes.

Erbao's clever eyes rolled around, "How come I've never seen candied haws at home? Don't try to trick me."

He was skeptical, yet full of anticipation.

In fact, even without the temptation of candied haws, these little guys could no longer suppress their curiosity about this new thing, and their eyes were shining with yearning for the unknown world.

Xu Xiufang dropped the branch in her hand, with a proud smile on her face. "On my way home today, I accidentally found a wild hawthorn tree by the fence. It was full of bright red fruits, which made me salivate just by looking at them."

As soon as the words fell, Erbao immediately made a dissatisfied "tsk" sound, with a look of disdain on his face, "The fruit is so sour that it can make people's teeth fall out. Even chickens won't touch it. How can it be made into candied haws? You are making up a story to fool us again."

The corners of Xu Xiufang's mouth twitched slightly, and then she patiently explained: "You may not know that the main raw material of candied haws is hawthorn, but the hawthorns here are wild, so they are a little smaller."

She deliberately made exaggerated clicks of the tongue twice, with a hint of amusement in her tone, "How uneducated, how terrible. But as long as you listen to me, I will tell you more secrets that others don't know."

When Erbao heard this, his face turned red, and he was eager to prove himself, "I know, I know everything!"

Dabao was not to be outdone and quickly said, "Of course I know that too."

Xu Xiufang seized the opportunity and continued to guide: "Since you know that hawthorn can be made into candied haws, then we will do it together and enjoy the sweet fruit. But now, what do you think we should do first?"

Dabao and Erbao suddenly realized that they had been cleverly led by their mother into a trap of learning and growth without their knowledge.

But they were willing to wear this trap, and even felt a little excited and expectant.

Xiaobao sat there obediently, his small body close to his older brothers and sisters. Their smiles looked particularly innocent under the warm light as they sat around the old and cozy square table.

The table was covered with a light blue tablecloth, with a few empty bowls placed on it, waiting for the paper and paintbrushes that would soon become the stage for their creativity.

Xu Xiufang walked lightly into the room, holding a basket of colorful painting supplies in her hand. Her arrival seemed to add a touch of liveliness to the quiet night.

There was a gleam of curiosity and anticipation in Yangyang and Yueyue's eyes. Every time their aunt came, she always brought them unexpected fun and surprises, and this time was no exception.

They secretly wondered, would they use these brushes to paint wild and imaginative images, or were there other more interesting secret activities waiting to be revealed?

At the side, Xu Xiaohua was grinding the off-white powder with great concentration. The fine powder slowly turned on her fingertips, and a faint aroma of grain filled the air.
