"A full moon celebration?" Wang Tianxiao had really forgotten about it. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's hold it here. Make it lively, but not too many people. Just invite some close relatives for a meal."
"That works too. We'll discuss the details when I get back from the station."
"Um."
Seeing that Wang Tianxiao had fallen asleep, Li Yali blew out the light, remained silent in the darkness for a while, and then softly called out, "Shopkeeper."
There was no response.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, I heard a heavy snoring coming from the darkness.
It came suddenly and with earth-shattering force.
It almost lifted the house.
She smiled and prepared to reach out and nudge her husband to change his position.
But when he reached halfway out, he pulled his hand back.
Let him snore comfortably.
He was really exhausted.
These days, my husband has become noticeably haggard. Although he still looks energetic, his sallow complexion and dark circles under his eyes, which are almost like a panda's, all indicate that he is overworking himself.
Thinking back carefully, he realized that since returning home more than a month ago, he has hardly had a good night's sleep. He is either busy outside every night or doesn't go to bed until midnight.
Even the strongest person can break down.
She didn't know why he was suddenly working so hard, and she felt sorry for him. She had advised him not to work so hard. She wasn't the kind of woman who liked having a lot of money. As long as her family of four could live healthily, she would be content and that would be her greatest happiness.
But what about her husband?
There seems to be a kind of inexplicable stubbornness and persistence.
I sensed that he had a very strong obsession with making something of himself.
What can we do then?
We had no choice but to let it be.
She often wondered why a month had gone by so long. Every day she saw her husband busy outside, while she could only lie on the kang (a heated brick bed) and couldn't help him at all.
"Huff~ Huff~"
Wang Tianxiao's snoring still echoed throughout the cave dwelling.
Li Yali lay back down on her side, looking at her husband's silhouette in the hazy darkness between the two children. She smiled gently, as if listening to the most beautiful melody in the world.
.
When Wang Tianxiao woke up, he felt refreshed.
I haven't had such a comfortable sleep in a long time; it felt like I had passed out.
He opened his eyes and found that Wang Fang was already playing with her younger brother, and his wife had also gotten up early and was busy knitting a sweater.
The curtains were half-open, and the morning sunlight streamed in through the window, falling directly on the left side of my wife's face, making her features appear even more delicate and charming.
"You're awake?" Li Yali greeted her with a smile.
Before he could answer, Wang Fang suddenly turned around, pulled out another piece of paper from under her pillow, and said it was her new painting.
He took it and found it was an "abstract painting" of many small animals playing together.
Her drawing skills were average, but her ideas were good, so I encouraged my daughter, telling her that she drew very well and should keep going.
In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao did not have much patience for children.
He was slightly better to his daughter, Wang Fang, since she was his first child. But when it came to his son, Wang Peng, the trivialities and burdens of life overwhelmed him. In addition, Wang Peng's birth did not comply with the policy, and he was fined a lot of money, which made it even harder for him to like Wang Peng for a long time.
It can be said that Wang Peng's status at home is a replica of his.
Looking back now, he deeply regrets it. No matter how hard parents work, they should not impose their own misfortunes on their children.
Wang Peng was able to grow up in that environment and eventually achieve academic success, not only because of his mother Li Yali's gentle treatment, but also because of his gentle nature, his ability to understand his father's frustrations, and his willingness to accept his father's confusion after struggling with life.
But it is actually very cruel to expect a child to be exceptionally sensible.
Being sensible means being subject to many restrictions. From a very young age, one must know what can and cannot be done, and what one should and should do at what time.
They dared not cross the line even slightly.
Such children may seem fine to outsiders, but deep down they have regrets, and when they grow up, they will find it difficult to form very close relationships with others.
"Get up and wash up, eat something, or you'll get hungry on the way."
Wang Tianxiao laughed and said, "It should be fine. I used to ride a bicycle, which took a long time on the road. This time, with the motorcycle, it only takes a few hours to get there."
"Then let's prepare some; it's always better to carry them."
"Okay, I've already told Brother Wenhua to prepare some food for me, and I'll take it with me later."
"Okay, that's good."
Wang Tianxiao gently teased Wang Peng's face, "When we go to discuss contracting the mountain this time, I don't know if it will go smoothly. No one has done this before, so I guess we'll need to talk to Lao Dai a lot."
“You should talk to the leader properly,” Li Yali advised. “Director Dai has been so good to you, so you should be more respectful and polite to him. You should also be more flexible in public and not always be so rigid.”
Wang Tianxiao glanced at his wife and smiled, "Okay, whatever you say. The world is vast, but my wife is the most important."
"Pfft, stop being so cheeky and get ready."
"Okay."
After Wang Tianxiao finished washing up in his room, he went outside and saw Liu Yuan playing with two leopard cats.
Ah-Zhen and Ah-Qiang gradually got used to life at the airfield and no longer needed to be completely confined to their rooms.
No one knows what kind of mind-controlling drug Liu Yuan gave them, but the two little guys really like sticking to that old man, and have even forgotten who brought them home.
