Back home, Qiu Jingwen placed a set of keys and a bag of popcorn on the dining table, and then went to the bathroom to urinate.
He washed his hands and then went out of the bathroom into the bedroom.
At this moment, Jiang Yuping is lying in bed reading "Wildfire and Spring Breeze Fight the Ancient City".
She was wearing a loose short-sleeved top and baggy shorts.
Hearing her husband's voice, she didn't get out of bed, but put the book aside and waited for him to come into the bedroom.
Since yesterday, she has felt that her husband is becoming more and more of a stranger.
Jiang Yuping had too many questions in her mind.
Especially today, her husband asked her about the family savings account.
After pushing open the bedroom door, Qiu Jingwen glanced at his wife on the bed.
"Autumn Harvest and Autumn Cicada, they didn't go out last night, did they?"
Jiang Yuping nodded to him.
"No, after dinner, I stayed home reading and writing."
The conversation was superficial and didn't get to the point.
As Qiu Jingwen responded, he changed out of his sweat-soaked work clothes. Just as he was about to put on his vest, Jiang Yuping started complaining to him.
"Hey, how can you not sweat on the way here and there? Hurry up and take a cold shower first, then put on some clean clothes. You're not allowed to go to bed until you shower. Can't you be a little more hygienic?"
His wife was complaining, but Qiu Jingwen didn't say anything.
He grabbed a clean vest and shorts and strode out of the bedroom.
Just then, Qiu Shou came out of the bedroom, sniffed the air, and looked at Qiu Jingwen.
"Dad, I smell something delicious. Did you bring back something tasty from the town?"
When his son mentioned it, Qiu Jingwen remembered the bag of popcorn he had brought back.
He reached out and stroked his son's head, saying to Qiu Shou:
“Shouqiu, you were born in the Year of the Dog, and your little nose is really sharp. Dad brought you a bag of popcorn, it's on the dining table. But eat less tonight, and I'll share some with your older sisters.”
Shouqiu was still a child, and as soon as he heard that his father had brought back popcorn, he ran happily to the restaurant.
He reached into the bag, opened it, grabbed a handful of popcorn, and popped it into his mouth, making a crunching sound as he chewed.
While her son was enjoying the fragrant popcorn, Qiu Jingwen carried a thermos into the bathroom.
Qiu Jingwen closed the bathroom door and then locked it with a click.
He slowly took off his clothes, then filled the sink with tap water and added boiling water from the thermos. He wiped himself all over with a towel before putting on clean clothes and returning to his bedroom.
At this moment, Jiang Yuping pretended to close her eyes and rest.
Seeing her husband Qiu Jingwen enter the bedroom and lock the door, she opened her eyes and looked at him.
Qiu Jingwen did not respond to his wife's gaze, but walked to the bedside and lay down fully clothed.
"Hey, Qiu Jingwen, now you can tell me, right? You asked what you need the money in our family savings account for?"
Jiang Yuping suddenly sat up in bed.
She stared intently into her husband's eyes and asked.
His expression and demeanor suggested that if he didn't give an answer, he wouldn't be done with him tonight.
