When the three of them returned to their cozy home, it was nearly 11 PM.
Li Jinwen took Lin Xiaoxiao to take a bath.
Although they changed into dry clothes, having been caught in the rain, they needed to take a quick wash to avoid catching a cold.
Especially now that it was the fall and winter season, the number of people catching colds was on the rise, so precautions were necessary.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo sat at the dining table, opened Meituan takeout, and ordered a lavish dinner.
On one hand, they hadn't eaten dinner and were indeed very hungry, but on the other, it was also a celebration of their financial gains for the day.
For a family like theirs, earning more than ten thousand yuan in a day had only happened twice.
Once was today.
The other was when Lin Mo went out to eat, a fight broke out at the next table, he kindly tried to break it up, and ended up getting hit by a wine bottle, which netted him a compensation of ten thousand yuan.
By the time all three had finished bathing, the takeaway had also arrived.
Steamy garlic crayfish, enticingly delicious barbecues, and a few bottles of Wusu beer filled the entire table.
Li Jinwen was drooling uncontrollably but still couldn't help complaining, "Why buy so much food so late at night, Xiaoxiao might have indigestion if she eats too much."
"It's okay, we don't eat like this every day!" Lin Mo chuckled and opened a bottle of beer, poured a glass for himself, and one for his wife: "Today's earnings have been so bountiful, how can we not celebrate a little?"
"Exactly!" Lin Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, her little hand already impatiently reaching for a grilled sausage.
Slap.
Li Jinwen gently smacked the back of her hand and scolded, "You're so eager, do you even look like a girl anymore?"
"Go get Mommy's phone."
...sigh...
Lin Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and obediently got up to bring over the phone.
After receiving the phone, Li Jinwen took a few photos from different angles and started taking a family portrait.
Take one, not satisfied.
Take another, still not satisfied.
"Xiaoxiao, stop fidgeting!"
"Honey, your expression is too stiff, smile!"
"Oh come on, can't you two cooperate with me a bit?"
Lin Mo exchanged a glance with Lin Xiaoxiao, both revealing helpless, wry smiles.
There's no helping it,
No matter the age, there are two things a woman can't stand:
The reflection in the glass by the roadside not showing her at her best,
And holding a camera that could capture beauty but still not being able to get the photo just right.
Finally,
After a few minutes of fussing, Li Jinwen got a few photos that she was somewhat satisfied with.
She saved them to the album, then casually opened a few photos from a few years back and sighed at the people in them, "Ah... I looked so good back then, and your dad was quite handsome."
"Such a pity, time spares no one."
Looking at the overly beautified and somewhat unrealistic group photo, Lin Mo just couldn't hold back and teased, "Wife, is there a possibility that we never looked like we do in those photos?"
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, Dad, you're so funny, I'm about to cry from laughing."
Li Jinwen had a face full of black lines.
After a while, the family of three, full with food and drink, began to clean up the kitchen.
Lin Mo washed the dishes, Li Jinwen mopped the floor, and Lin Xiaoxiao took out the trash.
After everything was done, they said goodnight to each other and returned to their respective rooms.
Li Jinwen was exhausted and had drunk a little, so he quickly fell asleep.
Lin Mo was also tired, but he checked the time and saw it was almost time for the intelligence refresh. He yawned and forced himself to perk up.
To make time pass quicker, he casually opened WeChat Moments and saw that the first post was from his wife.
"I hope our family can always be this happy."
Below the text were several photos.
Lin Mo started to look through them one by one.
The first photo was taken in the car on their way to the music festival, the second and third were of the concert scene, followed by pictures of them in raincoats, standing at the entrance selling raincoats.
There were photos of Lin Xiaoxiao clumsily handing out raincoats to customers and Lin Mo holding a payment QR code, his mouth open as if he was shouting something.
The last two photos were of them having dinner that evening, along with a long list of payment receipts screenshots.
"When was the last time my wife posted on Moments?"
Lin Mo clicked on her profile picture and found that her Moments were set to show the past six months, and in that time, she had only posted twice.
One was tonight's post.
The other was for a school-required event promotion.
"She used to be quite fond of posting on Moments."
"Perhaps life has become too monotonous lately, and there really hasn't been much worth sharing."
Once we have money, I will definitely take them to travel all over and make up for the many years of neglect.
Lin Mo liked his wife's Moments post, then checked the time again, looking forward to midnight.
"I specially spent two hours at the antique market today, hoping to get some useful intel!"
"It would be great to find a major loophole and perhaps get rich overnight!"
"Ding."
When midnight arrived, the electronic tone in Lin Mo's mind also sounded punctually.
At the same time,
The ten latest pieces of intel appeared before his eyes.
