She couldn't help but recall what Sister Tao once told her: men are like bulls, with endless energy all day long.

That’s right. Gu Weicheng has to train during the day and work overtime with her at night. How can he not feel tired?

The next day was Sunday, and Li Xia had a day off and didn't have to go to work.

When she was cleaning up the leftover seafood shells yesterday, she picked out some that had nice shapes and kept them.

She found some cotton thread and instructed Gu Weicheng to punch holes in the shells. Then she used the cotton thread to string the shells together to make a wind chime.

There are conch shells and abalone shells on it. One side of the abalone shell is colorful, which looks pretty good.

An An was surprised and asked, "Mom, what is this?"

"This is called a wind chime. When the wind blows, it will make a tinkling sound like a bell." Li Xia explained, "Weicheng, hang this under the eaves."

Gu Weicheng had never seen a wind chime before, he just thought his wife had really skillful hands.

I took the wind chime and hung it under the eaves. When the wind blew, it really made a clear tinkling sound.

"It sounds so beautiful, Mom, shells can sing!" An An clapped his hands excitedly.

"Yes, shells can sing. An An, you used this personification technique very well. We will write it down later. Don't you also want to contribute to newspapers or magazines like your mother? Sentences like this that are full of childlike innocence and imagination are great."

After listening to her mother's words, An An felt like she seemed to have finally understood a little.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Tao came over. She was here to give Li Xia some cashmere yarn.

Seeing the wind chimes hanging under the eaves tinkling, I curiously asked what they were.

An An helped explain like a little adult: "This is a wind chime. When the wind blows, the wind chime will sing. My mother made it."

When An An said that it was "made by my mother", there was an unconcealable pride on her face.

Because in his heart, his mother is really amazing.

"Wind chimes? They're really pretty, and the sound is nice, too. Your mother has really skillful hands." Mrs. Tao said, and handed the wool to Li Xia, "Xiao Li, I don't know what color you like, so I brought two colors over and let you pick one yourself."

Li Xia chose a dark blue yarn and she planned to knit a scarf for Gu Weicheng first.

"Whether I am dexterous or not depends on what I am doing. I don't know how to knit a sweater, so I need my sister-in-law to teach me," said Li Xia.

Mrs. Tao said, "Okay, I'll teach you. Knitting a sweater isn't difficult. You're smart, so you'll definitely be able to learn it in no time. Wait, I'll go back and get the needles. Don't you have any? I have an extra pair, I'll lend them to you first."

While Mrs. Tao went to get the needle, Li Xia also went to get the money.

When Mrs. Tao came back, she stuffed the money into her hands.

Mrs. Tao refused to accept the money no matter what she said: "I just ate the seafood you sent me last night, and today I want to charge you for the yarn. What kind of person am I?"

Li Xia said that she wanted this little bit of wool just to practice, and when she learned how to knit a sweater, she would have to get more wool from Mrs. Tao.

If Sister Tao doesn't accept it now, she will be too embarrassed to ask Sister Tao for the wool later.

Mrs. Tao then reluctantly accepted it, but she accepted it at a lower price.

Li Xia is a quick learner, and knitting a scarf is not difficult at all. As long as you learn the needlework, you just have to follow the instructions.

Li Xia took advantage of her free time to weave, and after almost two days, she finally finished the first scarf in her life.

When she first started knitting, she wasn't very good at it and would occasionally miss a stitch, which wasn't neat.

However, when I was about halfway through knitting, my hands and feet became much more skillful and I didn't make many mistakes. At first glance, it looked pretty good.

When Gu Weicheng came back in the evening, Li Xia handed him the dark blue scarf and said, "I knitted it for you. Try it and see how it works."

"For me?" Gu Weicheng's eyes lit up and he took the scarf and couldn't let it go.

When he first saw Li Xia knitting a scarf, he thought she was knitting it for An An.

An An is a child after all, and it is normal for parents to put their children first when doing anything. It is impossible for Gu Weicheng to be jealous of his own son.

But unexpectedly, the first scarf Li Xia knitted was for him.

Gu Weicheng felt so happy in his heart. He held the scarf as if it were a priceless treasure and said to Li Xia, "Thank you, my dear. I like it very much."

Li Xia found him like this a little funny. If someone who didn’t know saw him, they would think she had given him a huge treasure.

Li Xia said, "You like it so much even though you haven't tried it yet? Try it on to see if it fits you. If it's too short, I'll knit it longer."

She tried it on herself and found the length was just right, but Gu Weicheng was tall and much stronger than her, so she was afraid that the length would not suit him.

"As long as it's knitted by my wife, I like it no matter what." Gu Weicheng answered without hesitation.

Wrap the scarf around your neck. It's a little short, but you can still wear it.

"It's so soft and comfortable, my wife. It's worthy of being knitted by you. It fits perfectly when I wear it." After putting on the scarf, Gu Weicheng did not forget to praise Li Xia again.

Li Xia blushed at Gu Weicheng's praise. She glared at him and said, "The scarf is soft because the wool is good. It has nothing to do with my craftsmanship. This is my first time knitting a scarf. It's not as good as you say."

Moreover, this scarf was obviously knitted a little short, but in Gu Weicheng's mouth it became a perfect fit.

"Anyway, I think everything is good." Gu Weicheng insisted.

He couldn't let go of the scarf and didn't want to take it off after wearing it around his neck.

An An walked in and looked at her father wearing a scarf with a look of curiosity.

Dad looks pretty handsome in a scarf!

But... An An looked at the sun outside.

Dad is wearing a scarf in this weather and he never takes it off. Isn’t it hot?

Gu Weicheng did not forget to comfort his son: "An An, the scarf that mommy knitted looks nice, doesn't it? Don't feel bad, mommy will knit one for dad first, and then I will knit one for you later, and it will definitely be no worse than the scarf dad is wearing."

An An blinked, looking at her father who was half showing off and half comforting her, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After a while, she said, "Dad, I'm not sad, because Mom said that after she finishes knitting this scarf for you to practice, she will knit me a beautiful and warm sweater."

Gu Weicheng: “…”

Now he is the one who suffers.
