The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

The forbearance in the past was half due to blood ties and the other half due to the help Gu Xiaoling had given her.

However, ever since Zhou Qifeng was injured, the couple was ostracized in the village, and Gu Xiaoling's attitude turned from warm to cold, which made Gu Tingting completely heartbroken and left her with no room for maneuver.

Having finally broken free from the shackles of the past, how could she easily look back?

As time passed, the day for announcing the college entrance examination scores finally arrived, and the list was quietly posted at the gate of the county high school.

Countless hearts were anxious with anticipation, and many people even stayed awake all night. They gathered in front of the school gate before dawn, and the faint light of flashlights intertwined into a galaxy of hope in the dark morning.

Xu Xiufang had already anticipated Dabao's and her own performance, so she seemed unhurried.

On a cold morning, she woke up and took Xie Yi to take a short nap, enjoying the moment of tranquility.

The children stayed in bed because of the holidays, and when they saw that their parents had not woken up yet, they were happy to continue their sweet dreams.

Xie's mother was waiting outside the door early, shivering with cold, looking forward to checking the results with them. She was hesitant but did not dare to knock on the door for fear of disturbing Xu Xiufang who was not yet fully awake.

The door was closed, and Xie's mother could only carefully put her ear close to the crack of the door, trying to catch any movement inside the house.

Her action attracted the attention of passers-by, but fortunately she was familiar with the neighbors and avoided the embarrassment of being mistaken for a thief.

Finally, there was a noise in the house. When she looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning. Xie's mother hurried forward and knocked on the door.

The door slowly opened, revealing Erbao who had just come out of the bathroom. He was sleepy, rubbing his eyes, yawning, and his nasal voice was a little hazy.

"Grandma, why are you here so early?"

He asked doubtfully, but Xie's mother looked past Erbao and looked into the house anxiously. Seeing that the house was silent, she couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Where's your mother?"

"I haven't gotten up yet," Erbao scratched his head, responding slightly sleepily, and asked curiously, "Grandma, why are you up so early? The college entrance examination results are out, shouldn't everyone go check the results?"

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Xie's mother's face, and her tone was mixed with disappointment and urging.

Results won’t take wings and run away, and they won’t change no matter when you check them,” Erbao said as he yawned again sleepily, his voice full of laziness and fatigue.

"Grandma, look at what time it is now. My mother has always had the habit of getting up late. After getting up, she has to wash and have a leisurely breakfast. It will take at least until after 9:30. Why don't you come after 9:30? That will be just right. Oh, it's only 8 o'clock. I can still take advantage of this time to close my eyes and take a nap. Grandma, please let me go back and catch up on my sleep..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already half turned around, as if to return to that warm little nest.

However, fate did not seem to give him this opportunity.

Xie's mother seemed to have expected this. She grabbed his sleeve tightly and almost dragged him towards the kitchen: "Why are you sleeping? Stop dreaming and come and help me cook. This way, when your mother wakes up, she can eat hot meals directly!"

This sudden turn of events instantly filled Erbao's face with confusion and innocence.

"Grandma, you know my mom won't get up so early."

Erbao tried to convince her with the voice of reason.

Xie's mother was not willing to give in, and quickly retorted: "But what if your mother gets up early today on a whim? Then she can have a ready-made hot meal."

"If she doesn't get up, won't the meal we worked so hard to prepare just get cold?"

Erbao tried to grasp the last straw.

"Don't worry, it's kept warm in the pot, how can it get cold?"

Xie's mother was determined, as if she had already come up with a foolproof plan.

Faced with this irrefutable logic, Erbao could only sigh inwardly and was speechless for a moment.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still tried to struggle and buy himself even a moment of rest: "Grandma, I really don't want to cook. Isn't my dad at home? Can you let him do it?"

"Your dad, he's catching up on sleep with your mom in bed."

Xie's mother blurted out, and as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that what she said was not appropriate, and quickly changed her words, "I mean, your father and your mother are in the same room. If I wake your father up at this time, what if I wake up your mother?"

Erbao sighed silently in his heart: But I also want to sleep a little longer...

Finally, under the unquestionable gaze of Xie's mother, he reluctantly moved his feet and walked towards the kitchen step by step.

Fortunately, Xie's mother did not completely ignore his feelings and took the initiative to take on the task of making a fire, which gave him a little psychological comfort.

The soundproofing effect of this old house was not ideal. Xu Xiufang in the bedroom naturally heard the conversation outside. She gently nudged Xie Yi beside her, and said lazily, "Did Dabao and Erbao get up? Why are they so active today?"

In fact, Xie Yi had already woken up when his mother knocked on the door, but he closed his eyes and pretended to be still asleep. When he turned over, he tightened his arms around Xu Xiufang's waist and answered nonchalantly, "It's Erbao who is cooking. Mom is here."

"Mom is here?"

Xu Xiufang sobered up a little after hearing this, "Is it about checking the grades?"

"It should be." Xie Yi opened his eyes and then sat up. "I'll get up first. You lie down for a while. I'll call you when breakfast is ready."

Xu Xiufang thought about it and sat up as well. "Let's go check the results first. If you're still sleepy after checking them, it won't be too late to come back and sleep."

After all, I am confident about my results, so I am not in a hurry.

In comparison, Xie's mother was naturally more anxious because she didn't know the situation.

So the couple got up together and prepared.

Seeing how cooperative they were, Xie's mother was so happy that she almost jumped up. She said that the hot water was ready and urged them to go wash up quickly.

While the two of them were washing up, she couldn't hold back her excitement and gently patted Erbao's arm, her lips curled up with a bit of pride: "Look, isn't your mother up? Fortunately, I didn't ask you to go back to sleep."

Erbao could only complain in his heart: Grandma, did you make the noise on purpose to wake up my mom?

Of course, he absolutely did not dare to say such outrageous words, so he could only cover his arm which was a little painful from being slapped, and said in a tone with a hint of resentment: "Grandma, you slapped me a little bit!"

Only then did Xie's mother realize that she was indeed too excited and had not controlled the strength in her hands well.

In the past, whenever Erbao cried out in pain, Xie's mother would always comfort him immediately, but this time...
