Chapter 17

By the time the three returned to their cozy little home, it was nearly 11 PM.

Li Jinwen took Lin Xiaoxiao to take a bath.

Although they changed into dry clothes, they had gotten rained on, and it was crucial to wash up quickly to avoid catching a cold.

Especially with the arrival of autumn and winter, when the number of people catching colds increases, one could not be too careful.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo sat at the dining table, opened Meituan takeout, and ordered a sumptuous dinner.

On the one hand, they hadn’t eaten dinner and were indeed very hungry, and on the other, it was also a way to celebrate today’s earnings.

For a family like theirs, making over ten thousand yuan in a day had only happened twice.

Once was today.

The other time was when Lin Mo went out to eat, and a fight broke out at the next table. He kindly intervened, ended up getting hit by a beer bottle, and received ten thousand yuan in compensation.

After all three had finished their baths, the takeout had arrived.

Steamy garlic crayfish, mouth-watering assorted barbeque, and several bottles of Wusu beer filled the entire table.

Li Jinwen was drooling with desire, but still couldn’t help complaining, “Late at night, why buy so much to eat? Xiaoxiao will get indigestion from eating too much.”

“It doesn’t matter, we don’t eat like this every day!” Lin Mo laughed heartily as he opened a bottle of beer, poured himself a glass, and poured one for his wife as well, “We had such a great haul today; how can we not celebrate a bit?”

“Exactly!” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, her little hand already impatiently reaching for a skewered sausage.

Slap.

Li Jinwen gently slapped the back of her hand and chastised, “So hasty, do you not have any ladylike manners left?”

“Go get mom’s phone.”

…

Lin Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and obediently got up to fetch the phone.

After receiving the phone, Li Jinwen took several photos from different angles and then started taking family selfies.

Take one photo, not satisfied.

Take another, still not satisfied.

“Xiaoxiao, stop moving around!”

“Husband, your expression is too stiff; smile a bit!”

“Ah, can’t you two cooperate with me a little?”

Lin Mo and Lin Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, both showing a helpless, wry smile.

No way around it,

no matter the age, there are two things women just cannot tolerate.

There’s glass on the roadside, but they can’t see their own peerless beauty clearly.

Holding a camera that promises impeccable beauty, yet unable to capture the desired effect no matter what.

Finally,

after a few minutes of fussing, Li Jinwen got a few photos that she was somewhat satisfied with.

She saved them in the album, then casually opened a few photos from several years ago, pointing at the people in them and sighing, “Ah… I looked so beautiful back then, and your dad was quite handsome, too.”

“It’s a pity, time spares no one.”

Lin Mo looked at the beautified photo that was a bit unrealistic and couldn’t hold back his comment, “Wife, is there a possibility that we never looked like what’s shown in your photos?”

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh, “Haha, dad, you’re so funny, I’m about to laugh until I cry.”

Li Jinwen had a face full of black lines.

A while later, the well-fed family of three began to clean up the kitchen.

Lin Mo did the dishes, Li Jinwen mopped the floor, and Lin Xiaoxiao took care of the garbage.

After everything was done, they said goodnight to each other and retreated to their own rooms.

Li Jinwen was exhausted, and after having a little drink, he soon fell asleep.

Lin Mo was also tired, but looking at the time, it was nearly the moment for the information refresh. He yawned, forcing himself to stay alert.

To make time pass faster, he casually opened his WeChat moments and found that the first update was from his wife.

[I hope our family can always stay happy like this.]

Beneath the caption were several photos.

Lin Mo began to look through them one by one.

The first photo was taken in the car when they were heading to the music festival, the second and third were pictures from the concert, and the ones that followed were of them dressed in raincoats, standing at the entrance selling raincoats.

There were photos of Lin Xiaoxiao handing out raincoats clumsily to customers and others of Lin Mo holding up a QR code for payment, his mouth wide open as though he was shouting something.

The last two were pictures of them having dinner that evening and a long list of payment receipts screenshots.

“How long has it been since my wife posted on her Moments?”

Lin Mo clicked on her profile picture and saw that her Moments were visible for the past six months, but she had only posted twice.

One was this evening’s update,

and the other was a post promoting some event as required by the school.

“She used to love posting on Moments.”

“Perhaps life has become too monotonous now, really nothing worth sharing.”

Once I make money, I must take them to travel all over the place, to make up for so many years of neglecting them.

Lin Mo liked his wife’s Moments post and glanced at the time again, looking forward to midnight.

“I deliberately spent two hours at the antique market today, hoping to get some useful information!”

“Best case scenario, I find a major overlook and make a fortune in one fell swoop!”

[Ding.]

When the clock struck midnight, the electronic sound in Lin Mo’s mind rang on time.

And at the same time,

Ten pieces of the latest information appeared right before his eyes.
