The early morning sunlight shined through the gaps in the curtains and gently sprinkled on Li Ting's face. She opened her eyes and saw that Zhang Wei beside her had gotten up and was about to go to work. Zhang Wei is the pillar of the family, and as an engineer, he is always the first to get up and the last to go home. Li Ting stretched her waist, feeling the residual warmth left by her husband, and a warmth surged in her heart.
"Husband, why did you get up so early today?" Li Ting rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Well, I have an important project to catch up with today, so I have to go early. Zhang Wei replied while wearing his coat.
"Then be careful on the road, and wait for you to come back for dinner in the evening. Li Ting gently admonished.
"Okay, I'll try to come back as soon as possible. Zhang Wei smiled and kissed Li Ting's forehead, turned around and went out.
Li Ting looked at Zhang Wei's back, and her heart was full of happiness. She got up and walked to the window and watched her husband walk out of the neighborhood until he disappeared around the corner. Turn around and head back to the bedroom, start making the bed, and get ready to start the day.
"What are you going to do today?" Li Ting muttered to herself, a few dishes that Zhang Wei liked to eat flashed in her mind. She decides to make a hearty dinner to surprise her hard-working husband.
Time passed quietly in the busy, Li Ting finished cleaning and went to the vegetable market to buy fresh ingredients. When she got home, she began to prepare dinner, thinking about the menu for the evening. At this moment, her eyes fell on Zhang Wei's briefcase, which was lying quietly on the sofa, as if waiting for the return of its master.
"Why didn't I take my husband's bag with me?" Li Ting was a little puzzled, but soon she was relieved again. Zhang Wei is busy with work, and it is common for him to forget to bring things occasionally. She walked over to put the briefcase back in place, but inadvertently touched something inside.
It was an envelope that slipped out of the bag and fell to the ground. Li Ting bent down to pick it up, only to see the words "Zhang Wei personally opened" written on the envelope. She hesitated, but curiosity drove her to open the envelope.
The content of the letter surprised her, it turned out that Zhang Wei had been worrying about the company's financial problems recently, and he was hiding all this from Li Ting. Li Ting's heart swelled with mixed emotions, she was worried about her husband's pressure, and she felt a trace of loss because Zhang Wei did not share this secret with her.
"What should I do?" Li Ting sat on the sofa, holding the letter tightly in her hand. She knew that this matter must be handled properly, and Zhang Wei's hard work must not be in vain, nor can this family be affected.
Just then, the sound of a key turning came from outside the door. Li Ting looked up and saw that it was her neighbor Aunt Wang who came to visit the door.
"Li Ting, why didn't you go dancing today?" Aunt Wang asked with a smile.
"Oh, there was something going on at home today, so I didn't go. Li Ting barely squeezed out a smile, but she was thinking about the letter in her heart.
"Your Zhang Wei is really a capable and good husband, who gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, which is really enviable. Aunt Wang praised.
Li Ting smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. She knew that Zhang Wei's hard work was far more than what Aunt Wang saw. She decided that when Zhang Wei came back, she must have a good talk with him and face this problem together.
As night fell, Li Ting was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner. Her heart was a little heavy, but more of a concern for her husband and a sense of responsibility to the family. She believes that as long as the two of them work together, nothing is impossible.
Li Ting was busy in the kitchen, but she couldn't get rid of the confusion caused by the letter. She decided not to rush to ask Zhang Wei first, but to understand the situation herself. She knew that direct questioning might make Zhang Wei feel more stressed, and she needed a more secure approach.
"Aunt Wang, have you heard any news about Zhang Wei's company recently?" Li Ting asked by meeting a neighbor in the community garden and pretending to be chatting.
"I haven't heard anything special, but Zhang Wei's company seems to have been very busy lately, and he often works overtime. Aunt Wang replied, not realizing Li Ting's true intentions.
Li Ting smiled and nodded, but her heart was even heavier. She decided to go to Zhang Wei's colleagues and maybe get some clues from them.
The next day, Li Ting came to Zhang Wei's company under the pretext of delivering lunch. She found Zhang Wei's colleague Xiao Chen, a young and enthusiastic young man.
"Xiao Chen, how is Zhang Wei's work lately? He seems to be quite busy. Li Ting handed Xiao Chen a box of bento boxes and asked with concern.
Xiao Chen took the lunch box and said gratefully: "Yes, there have been a lot of projects recently, and everyone is quite tired." Brother Zhang, he..."Xiao Chen suddenly realized that he had said too much, and quickly shut up.
Li Ting saw it in her eyes and understood a little in her heart. She didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic and chatted with her colleagues about family life.
Back home, Li Ting's mood was even more complicated. She began to observe Zhang Wei's behavior, hoping to find some clues. She found that Zhang Wei has been working overtime late lately recently, and he is tired when he comes home, but he never complains, just silently bears everything.
One night, when Zhang Wei returned home, Li Ting found a bank demand note in the pocket of his clothes. The suspicions in her heart became heavier and heavier, but she still did not question Zhang Wei directly, but chose to support silently.
"Husband, I've been working hard lately, so I've stewed some chicken soup for you to replenish your body. Li Ting said softly and handed Zhang Wei a bowl of steaming chicken soup.
Zhang Wei took the chicken soup, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes. He knew that Li Ting had been caring about him, but he didn't want her to worry, so he chose to hide it.
As time went on, Li Ting's investigation deepened and she found that Zhang Wei's problem was far more serious than she had imagined. The company's financial crisis, coupled with Zhang Wei's personal debts, has reached a critical point. Li Ting realized that this was not only related to the future of their husband and wife, but also affected the fate of the entire family.
Li Ting sat on the sofa, holding the reminder in her hand, full of contradictions and anxiety. She knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and she had to have a good talk with Zhang Wei to face this problem together.
It was late at night, Zhang Wei hadn't gone home yet, and Li Ting's heart was getting heavier and heavier. She decided that no matter what, she must have a good talk with Zhang Wei tomorrow, and no matter what the result is, she will be by Zhang Wei's side and get through this difficult time together.
Li Ting sat on the sofa, holding the reminder in her hand, full of contradictions and anxiety. She knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and she had to have a good talk with Zhang Wei to face this problem together.
The next day, Li Ting got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast for Zhang Wei. At the dinner table, she carefully observed Zhang Wei's expression, trying to find the right time to speak.
"Husband, how are you doing lately? I think you're very busy. Li Ting asked tentatively.
Zhang Wei glanced up at her, a trace of tiredness flashed in his eyes, "It's okay, it's just that there are a lot of projects, and the pressure is quite high." ”
Li Ting's heart tightened, she knew that the "pressure" Zhang Wei said was not just at work. But instead of directly mentioning the letter and the demand note, she continued to ask with concern: "Then you have to pay more attention to rest, don't be too tired." ”
Zhang Wei nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to bow his head to eat breakfast. Li Ting knew in her heart that Zhang Wei didn't want her to worry, so she chose to hide it.
After breakfast, Zhang Wei hurriedly went out to work, and Li Ting decided to take action. She first went to the bank to know about Zhang Wei's financial situation. Although the staff of the bank couldn't reveal too much information, Li Ting still sensed the seriousness of the matter from their words.
"Mr. Zhang's account does have some problems, and we hope that he can solve them as soon as possible. The bank staff said euphemistically.
Li Ting's heart sank to the bottom, and she realized that Zhang Wei's problem was far more serious than she imagined. She decided to go to Zhang Wei's colleagues, who might be able to help.
In Zhang Wei's company, Li Ting found Zhang Wei's colleague Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen is a warm-hearted young man who also knows a little about Zhang Wei's situation.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Zhang has been very difficult recently, the pressure of the company and some personal debts, he is almost out of breath. Xiao Chen said sympathetically.
Li Ting listened to it, and her heart was mixed. She said to Xiao Chen gratefully, "Thank you for telling me this, I will try my best to help him." ”
Back home, Li Ting sat on the sofa, full of worry and helplessness. She knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and she had to have a good talk with Zhang Wei to face this problem together.
When night fell, Zhang Wei had not returned home, and Li Ting's heart was getting heavier and heavier. She decided that no matter what, she must have a good talk with Zhang Wei tomorrow, and no matter what the result is, she will be by Zhang Wei's side and get through this difficult time together.
Li Ting sat on the sofa, her heart full of determination. She knows that tomorrow will be a critical day, and she and Zhang Wei must be honest with each other and face this crisis together. She took a deep breath and began to prepare for the next day's conversation, hoping to find the best way to let Zhang Wei let go of the burden in her heart.
The next night, Zhang Wei finally went home. He looked more tired than usual, but when he saw the table of meals prepared by Li Ting, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes.
"Wife, what day is it? How did you make so much delicious food?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile, trying to hide his uneasiness.
Li Ting smiled and sandwiched a piece of his favorite braised pork for Zhang Wei, "It's nothing special, I just want to reward you for your hard work." ”
At the dinner table, the two chatted about daily trivial matters, but Li Ting knew that she had to bring up that topic. After the meal, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, sat down next to Zhang Wei, took a deep breath, and began their conversation.
"Husband, I... I have something to tell you. Li Ting's voice trembled a little.
Zhang Wei turned his head and looked at Li Ting, his eyes full of doubts, "What's wrong, wife?"
Li Ting took out the demand note and handed it to Zhang Wei, "I accidentally found this, I want to know, what should we do?"
Zhang Wei's face instantly turned pale, he was silent for a while, and then sighed deeply, "I... I didn't want you to know. ”
The two looked at each other, Li Ting's eyes were full of worry, while Zhang Wei's eyes were full of guilt. But soon, guilt was replaced by determination, "I'll fix it, don't worry." ”
Li Ting shook her head, "No, this is our problem, we have to solve it together." She held Zhang Wei's hand, "We are husband and wife, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we have to face them together." ”
Zhang Wei looked at Li Ting with emotion, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, "Thank you, wife." ”
The two began to talk deeply, Li Ting proposed some possible solutions, and Zhang Wei also confessed his predicament. They discussed together and figured things out together until late at night.
After some in-depth communication and mutual understanding, Li Ting and Zhang Wei found a solution to their financial dilemma. They decide to sell some of their unnecessary possessions, cut back on expenses, and seek professional financial advice. What's more, the trust and understanding between them has also deepened.
Through this incident, Li Ting deeply realized that communication and trust between husband and wife are the cornerstone of family harmony. She realized that no matter what difficulties she encountered, as long as the two of them thought together and worked hard together, there was no difficulty that could not be overcome.
A few days later, Zhang Wei's face reappeared with a smile, and he said to Li Ting gratefully: "Wife, thank you, it was you who made me regain my confidence." ”
Li Ting smiled softly and snuggled in Zhang Wei's arms, "We are husband and wife, this is what we should do." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of hope and confidence for the future. They know that as long as they love and support each other, nothing can bother them.
