Ye Fangfei did not argue with him; if the man wanted to work, so be it. She was not like some women who would rather take on all the household chores themselves. "I’ll go check on Little Moon. You hurry up and come inside when you’re done," she said.
It was too cold outside, and the snow showed no signs of stopping. After saying this, Ye Fangfei went inside.
Tang Zhicheng watched his wife enter the house before happily getting back to washing the dishes. He then went outside to the large vat to thaw some fish and meat. After that, he grabbed two apples, washed them, and brought them back inside.
Inside, Little Moon had already woken up, entertaining herself by kicking her legs and arms on a small mattress that Ye Fangfei had placed beside her after dressing her in warm clothes. Ye Fangfei folded the bedding neatly and covered it with a floral cloth at the foot of the kang.
Seeing Tang Zhicheng come in, she instructed, "Zhicheng, go get some hot water. I need to wipe our daughter’s face."
"Okay," Tang Zhicheng replied and went out to fetch water.
After washing Little Moon’s face, he took the accumulated diapers from the night outside to wash them. Ye Fangfei watched her husband working diligently like a little bee and smiled as she praised him to their daughter, "Little Moon, when you grow up and look for a partner, make sure to use your father as a standard."
"Look at how capable your father is; not only can he earn money, but he also helps with housework. How did I end up with such good taste? I picked a man who loves his wife and daughter."
Ye Fangfei spoke as if she were conversing with her daughter, who didn’t quite understand yet. In truth, she was also speaking for Tang Zhicheng, who was squatting outside washing diapers.
Whether man or woman, everyone hopes their efforts are noticed and appreciated by their family. Did you see how Tang Zhicheng was washing those diapers with increasing vigor?
Tang Zhicheng felt genuinely happy. As a poor country boy, he had married a city girl like Ye Fangfei from Beijing. To be honest, he felt a bit insecure about it. However, he never thought that his wife not only didn’t look down on him but also held him in high regard.
Now his wife was saying that their daughter should find someone like him in the future—someone who loves his wife and daughter. This thought made Tang Zhicheng feel elated.
With renewed energy in his work, he secretly resolved to take on more tasks in the future so that his wife would cherish him even more.
Tang Zhicheng was happily washing diapers when someone knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock! Is this Tang Zhicheng's home?"
"Yes, who is it?" Tang Zhicheng stood up, wiped his hands, and went to open the door.
"Oh, Liu Ge, what brings you here? Come in!" Standing outside were the homeowner who was selling the house and a friend of his, a procurement officer from the meat processing plant.
Tang Zhicheng was an outgoing person, particularly skilled at socializing. He often interacted with truck drivers who traveled across the country, bringing back local specialties. As a result, he had many friends; although not all of them were true confidants, there were plenty of acquaintances where a little face-saving could go a long way.
Isn't that how society works? There aren't that many pure friendships; most relationships are built on mutual benefits.
"Xiao Tang, I feel bad for dropping by unannounced. I really had no other choice but to have Chengcai bring me to find you," Liu Ge said apologetically.
"Guests are always welcome! Liu Ge, please come in and warm up. What brings you both out in this freezing weather?" Tang Zhicheng said as he ushered the two men inside.
