The sun was already high in the sky, the sunlight was hot and bright, making every inch of the playground golden.
The entire playground is basically filled with family members' belongings. The weather has been good these days, and everyone is cleaning up to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
"I can finally take a break." Zeng Wenjuan was tired after a whole morning and finally had time to rest. She leaned back on the sofa and stretched.
"Mom, are you tired now? Do you want Goudan to give you a massage? Goudan is very good at massage." Goudan took off his shoes and climbed onto the sofa and said.
Zeng Wenjuan turned her head to look at Goudan and said happily, "Of course! Mommy, lie on the sofa, Goudan, give Mommy a back massage, okay?"
Goudan nodded obediently.
Zeng Wenjuan took a pillow from the sofa and lay down on it. Goudan sat on her and helped her massage her back.
"Mom, are you comfortable? Does it hurt you?" Goudan asked, touching Zeng Wenjuan's back with his little hand.
"No, hit harder. You're too weak." Zeng Wenjuan turned and said to Goudan.
Goudan obediently helped Zeng Wenjuan massage, while looking at the door and asking curiously: "Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet? What is he doing downstairs?"
After hearing what Goudan said, Zeng Wenjuan realized that Zhao Jianguo did not follow her upstairs. She was also a little confused, but still said, "Dad must have something to do downstairs. He will be back soon."
Downstairs, Zhao Jianguo, whom the mother and son were talking about, was now talking face to face with Liang Huai.
Liang Huai handed the woolen coat in his hand to Zhao Jianguo. He smiled and said, "The coat you asked me to buy has arrived. I was going to give it to you before, but you went to visit your relatives."
"Thank you! How much is it? I'll give you the money now." Zhao Jianguo took the clothes and examined them carefully.
This elegant and classic dark blue mid-length cashmere coat, with its soft and delicate texture and smooth tailoring lines, shows extraordinary quality and style.
"This number." Liang Huai gestured a number with his hand and then said to Zhao Jianguo.
After hearing what Liang Huai said, Zhao Jianguo took out a purse from the inner pocket of his coat. It was made of cloth and looked a bit old, but it was obvious that it was made with care.
"This was made by my wife the year I got married, and I have been carrying it with me all these years. Here, I'll give you the bill, and you can count it." Zhao Jianguo handed the bill to Liang Huai and said.
Liang Huai rolled his eyes at Zhao Jianguo's boasting and said speechlessly, "Who said I envy you? I'm the same as everyone else. What I want to say is that you are right. You have been married for so many years, and you still have money on you. Isn't the money in this family kept by your wife?"
"Look at this money I have. I will give it to my wife as soon as I get home. But my wife is very cost-effective. Although we can't save much money, our life is well organized and getting better and better." Liang Huai said while shaking the banknotes in front of Zhao Jianguo.
Zhao Jianguo frowned. Yes! In every family, the wife manages the money. Why doesn't his wife ask him for it? Could it be that his wife is waiting for him to hand over the money?
"My wife is the one who manages the money in my house. Doesn't this mean she has to pay you? If I don't give you the money, can you still let that guy go back today?" Zhao Jianguo said proudly to Liang Huai.
Liang Huai was speechless, but when he looked at Zhao Jianguo's leg, he took advantage of this moment to ask with concern: "How long will it take for your leg injury to heal? It seems that you have recovered well from your injury. Your wife is quite good at taking care of people!"
"My wife is good in every way. Moreover, she studied medicine with my father-in-law and understands pharmacology. Under her care, my leg injury recovered quickly. I will be able to return to work in the army in early April." Zhao Jianguo said with a smile.
"That's good. Everyone is waiting for you to come back in the army. You, don't think that you can eat so much with peace of mind just because your leg is injured. You should also exercise. Look at your original muscles, which have now turned into fat." Liang Huai pinched Zhao Jianguo's arm and complained.
"Stop talking nonsense. My leg is injured. How can I exercise? I have to take more supplements when I'm injured. What are you worried about? I'm injured and you still ask me to eat less. There is some left at home. We can talk about it after the New Year." Zhao Jianguo said to him with a smile, as if he was about to hit Liang Huai with his crutch.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to go home and help clean up." Liang Huai said to Zhao Jianguo after putting away the money. Without waiting for his answer, he turned around and walked towards home.
Zhao Jianguo saw Liang Huai leave, and turned to walk home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Goudan lying on Zeng Wenjuan, helping her massage her back. He quietly walked over, quietly sent Goudan away, sat on the sofa beside him, and stretched out his hands to massage Zeng Wenjuan's shoulders.
"Is this force enough?"
Zeng Wenjuan was not surprised to hear Zhao Jianguo's answer. She had heard his footsteps as soon as he entered the door. She felt the force on her back and nodded, saying, "Okay, this force is just right. Press there a few more times. My arms are sore from lifting them all the time."
Hearing this, Zhao Jianguo skillfully adjusted the strength of his technique and kneaded Zeng Wenjuan's designated position a little more. His eyes gently fell on Zeng Wenjuan's tired but satisfied face, and a warm current surged in his heart.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. You have to take care of everything at home and outside." Zhao Jianguo said softly, his tone full of gratitude and heartache.
Zeng Wenjuan smiled slightly, with a happy light in her eyes: "It's not hard, as long as our family is together, I will be satisfied."
Goudan blinked his big eyes, watching the warm interaction between his parents, and felt warm in his heart. He quietly got up, brought a glass of water to Zhao Jianguo, and said in a baby voice: "Daddy, drink some water."
Zhao Jianguo took the cup of water and felt a little more relieved. He touched Goudan's head and praised him, "Good son, you are so sensible."
"Goudan is the best." Goudan boasted while eating the peach cake in his hand.
Zeng Wenjuan saw Goudan eating peach cakes, and then she sat up. She put on her shoes and asked, "Are you hungry, Goudan? What do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will make it for you."
"I'm about to eat it. Isn't the fish dried in the sun? Can I cook one first?" When Goudan went to get snacks, he happened to see the dried spicy cured fish. He felt a little greedy when he saw it.
"Goudan wants to eat fish, so mom will make it for you right away." After saying that, Zeng Wenjuan walked towards the kitchen and took out spicy cured fish from the closet.
