My name is Li Mengting, a working woman who loves life. My husband Zhao Zixuan and I run a warm little home together, two lively and lovely children, the older one is called Lele and the younger one is called Xinxin, which is the little sun of our family. Although our lives are full of busyness and triviality, whenever I see the innocent smiles of children, I feel that all the efforts are worth it.
Zhao Zixuan is a tech nerd who works as a project manager at an Internet company. He is usually busy with work and often has to work overtime, but every time he comes home, he always tries to show us the best side. I, on the other hand, am a marketing specialist, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the city every day, negotiating cooperation with customers, although it is hard, but every time I come home, I see the smiling faces of my family, and all the fatigue disappears.
For the safety of our families, we have installed surveillance video at home. Originally, it was just for anti-theft, but I didn't expect it to become a small window for me to observe Zhao Zixuan's daily life. On Monday, Zhao Zixuan rarely had a day off, and because I had to go to work, I made breakfast in advance and told him to take care of himself and the children. He smiled and agreed, promising to enjoy the rare day off.
In the morning, after dropping my kids off at school, I hurried to work. On the bus, I habitually turned on my phone to check the surveillance video at home. In the picture, Zhao Zixuan is lying on the sofa, holding a book in his hand, and the sun is shining on his face, which looks particularly peaceful. I couldn't help laughing out loud, this guy is really a person who knows how to enjoy life.
Throughout the day, I checked the surveillance video from time to time to observe Zhao Zixuan's every move. At first, he just leisurely reads books, drinks tea, and occasionally gets up to water the flowers. I can't help but sigh that this man really knows the joy of life. However, as time went on, I noticed that he was starting to get a little "lazy". He lay on the couch and started playing mobile games, laughing from time to time. I couldn't help frowning, this guy, is he just indulging himself like that?
At noon, I saw Zhao Zixuan get up and walk into the kitchen, and I thought he was going to start cooking. However, it didn't take long for me to see him back in the living room with takeout in his hand. I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, why didn't this guy even bother to cook?
The afternoon passed slowly under the watchful eye of the surveillance video. Zhao Zixuan is still lying on the sofa playing mobile games, occasionally getting up and walking around. I couldn't help but wonder if he still remembered the love vows he had made after all these years of marriage, and whether he remembered the efforts he had put into this family?
Just as I was deep in thought, the sound of children laughing suddenly came from the surveillance video. It turned out that Zhao Zixuan had already gone to pick up the children from school. I couldn't help but be a little surprised to see him busy in the picture. He held Lele and Xinxin's hands, talking and laughing along the way, looking very happy. It dawned on me that maybe he wasn't really that lazy, but just needed some time to relax.
When he got home from work in the evening, Zhao Zixuan had already prepared dinner. When he saw me coming back, he hurriedly beckoned me to sit down and eat. At the dinner table, we talked about today's interesting stories and the growth of the children. I suddenly noticed that his eyes were full of tenderness and love, which made me realize that he might not be the lazy person I thought.
After dinner, we cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, sat on the sofa and watched TV. I tentatively asked, "What did you do at home today?" He was stunned for a moment and then replied with a smile, "Actually, I didn't do anything special, just read books, play with my phone, and pick up the kids from school." I nodded, not exposing him, because I knew he must have other plans, I just didn't tell me.
As I lay in bed at night, I thought back to everything that had happened today. I suddenly realized that I may have always had too high expectations and requirements for Zhao Zixuan and ignored his dedication and efforts. He is usually so busy and tired from work, and when he comes home, he naturally hopes to have a good rest. However, I had unnecessary misunderstandings and suspicions about him because of the installation of surveillance video.
When I think about it, I can't help but feel a little guilty and remorseful. I gently hugged Zhao Zixuan and said in his ear: "Husband, thank you for taking care of the children and doing housework at home today, you have worked hard. He was stunned for a moment, and then hugged me tightly: "Wife, you have also worked hard, thank you for your continued support and understanding." ”
At that moment, the estrangement and misunderstanding in our hearts disappeared. We have rediscovered our former love and tacit understanding, and we cherish the emotional connection between each other even more. Since then, we have never had any unnecessary suspicion or quarrel because of the surveillance video, but have instead trusted and relied on each other more. Whenever I think of that Monday afternoon, when I watched Zhao Zixuan leisurely reading and drinking tea on the sofa, and then suddenly got up to pick up the children from school, I feel that our life is so beautiful and warm.
