Quick Wear: Reversing Life

September was still hot, and the bitter summer sun scorched the ground like a frying pan. The flowers in the backyard were all wilted. Xuebing didn't like to stay outdoors and always took a nap under the central air conditioner in the living room.

The ice cream at home was finished, and Wenxiu promised Wenjin to buy some in the evening, and then made fruit smoothies with Wenjin at home in the afternoon.

The two of them, each holding a bowl, sat in front of the closed balcony door to enjoy the cool air.

The aquatic and terrestrial ecological tank that was built before was thriving. Wenxiu would trim the growing aquatic plants every once in a while and place small pots of derived plants next to it.

"Bug." Wen Jin suddenly pointed to a place on the moss where a ladybug, which had flown in at some point in time, was resting.

This moss tank was built by two people in the spring. At that time, the moss was soaked in insecticide and disinfectant. No insects grew there, but it still attracted a lot of flying insects when the windows and doors were opened.

The small, round ladybug is bright red and stands out against the bright green moss.

The two of them squatted on the moss, staring at the motionless ladybug.

"So cute." Wenxiu said.

Wen Jin looked at it for a moment, then reached out to touch it. Wen Xiu didn't try to stop him. Just as his finger was about to touch the insect, the ladybug fluttered its wings, and Wen Jin immediately withdrew his hand.

"How does it feel?" Wenxiu asked.

"It doesn't agree." Wen Jin said.

Wenxiu smiled: "If it's still there tomorrow, maybe it will agree to let you touch it."

...

After dinner in the evening, Wenxiu asked Wenjin to take Xuebing out for a walk. When they went out, they met Sister Guo and her family next door returning.

Sister Guo greeted Wenxiu, and a petite woman followed behind the couple.

"My daughter."

Sister Guo's daughter looked a little unhappy. She reluctantly said hello to Wenxiu and went into the house.

They were neighbors and had a good relationship with each other. A few days later, Sister Guo told Wenxiu about this.

Sister Guo’s daughter became pregnant again before she even finished her confinement period.

My husband's family came to announce the good news with great joy. It is such a blessing to have two children in two years. Maybe it will be a son.

Sister Guo was so angry that she couldn't hold back her temper and cursed on the phone, scolding her in-laws for being unkind and saying that getting pregnant during the confinement period was not a good thing at all. They simply didn't treat women as human beings, not as pregnancy machines.

Sister Guo cursed for a long time in front of her in-laws, and even scolded her son-in-law, saying that she wanted to take her daughter home to take care of the baby. Her in-laws were reluctant at first, but the son-in-law knew he was in the wrong and agreed.

Perhaps because she knew her mother's temper, Sister Guo's daughter didn't even dare to answer her phone calls at first, and didn't dare to say a word when she was taken home.

"So we took Qianqian back home early in the morning. This time I told her to stay at her parents' home to take care of the pregnancy." Sister Guo was so angry that she couldn't control her voice.

"I thought young people knew how to take better care of themselves."

"You haven't even cleared the lochia yet, and you're pregnant again. My son-in-law is really ignorant."

After the anger, I felt heartbroken.

Pregnancy and childbirth themselves cause great harm to women. Some women take a long time to recover after a pregnancy, and some may even suffer from lifelong illnesses.

Sister Guo's daughter inherited her father's introverted and honest personality. She is not talkative. She fell in love and got married with her husband in college. At that time, Sister Guo saw that her daughter was being dominated by her son-in-law, and actually did not agree with their marriage. However, she agreed because her son-in-law seemed generous and cheerful, and his care and love for her daughter were not fake.

"She's been in a bad mood lately and can't eat."

Wenxiu didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort her: "The weather has been hot recently, so it's normal that you can't drink those nourishing soups. Make some refreshing dishes. It's better to eat than not to eat at all."

Wenxiu gave some recipes to Sister Guo. Sister Guo knew that this was her major and she had given her daughter many nutritional recipes during her pregnancy.

"Wen Jin hasn't been a big eater lately, but at least he'll eat some of these dishes. You can cook them as you see fit. They're all safe for pregnant women."

-

The weather is too hot, and it’s not a good idea to stay in an air-conditioned room and use the air conditioner all the time.

After Wenxiu finished her work, she took Wenjin to a resort to cool off at the end of September.

This time, the holiday villa is located in a coastal city. It is a big brand. The building is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. It is considered a high-end tourist destination. It avoids the peak holiday season and there are not many people coming to travel. Even without reservation, you can book a villa suite with a top view.

The most famous attraction here is a boardwalk on the sea. The view at sunset was once a hit on major short video platforms and even boosted the city's tourism industry.

Because of its geographical location surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, this bay is called Crescent Bay. The name of the villa is also simple, called Crescent Bay Holiday Villa, also called Crescent Bay Resort.

Because it is backed by the Yuehai Group, the villa is positioned as high-end. However, because it is not as magnificent as other high-end resorts, but rather simple and fresh, it attracts many young people to visit and check in.

It is rumored that this holiday villa was chosen by the group's prince against all odds during the planning stage. At that time, the prince was only the executive president of a subsidiary of the group. He successfully succeeded Yuehai Group by relying on this resort.

To date, Crescent Bay Villa has always been one of the top two resorts in terms of annual turnover under the group.

...

Wenxiu specially rented two sets of diving equipment. The diving C card she had obtained in Okinawa, Japan also came in handy. She took Wen Jin out for a whole day of fun.

There was no natural sunscreen mud available locally, and in order to keep the ocean pure and pollution-free, neither of them applied sunscreen, and at the end of the day, the exposed skin was sunburned red.

In the evening, the two of them each had a coconut, drank natural coconut water, and sat on the plank road to watch the sunset.

The plank road was full of people sitting and enjoying the beautiful scenery, feeling the sea breeze and watching the clear yellow sunset gradually disappear into the horizon.

"The sun was swallowed by the sea." Wen Jin said, pointing at the sun that was about to disappear.

"The mountain will spit me out again tomorrow," Wenxiu said.

The sky was blue at night, and the plank road was dotted with lights. Wenxiu took Wen Jin back to the hotel to take a shower and rest.

There was a vinyl record player in the suite. Wenxiu picked one at random and played it, then took a comfortable bath to the soothing music.

The next day, Tian Xiu stayed in bed and played with his phone for a while before getting up.

Breakfast was already on the table, but Wen Jin was nowhere to be seen.

The system said they went to the beach to play. Since the system was watching, Wenxiu didn't pay much attention.

The beach is just four or five hundred meters away from the backyard garden of the suite.

Wenxiu was eating breakfast when she saw Wen Jin coming in from the living room with a plastic bucket in her hand.

"Where did you get this bucket?" Wenxiu asked.

"Pick it up."

Seeing the bucket half-filled with hermit crabs, Wenxiu asked, "Do you want to raise one?"

Wen Jin held the bucket in front of Wen Xiu.

"Why? They agreed to go home with you?"

"show you."

Wenxiu leaned over to take a look. The hermit crabs inside had all retreated into their shells, and all she could see were piles of shells, each one different from the other.

"This one has a nice shell," Wenxiu commented. "It's huge."

Wenxiu asked Wenjin to put the bucket down so she could wash her hands and have breakfast. Seeing that the blue bucket was spotless and didn't look like someone else's, she asked Wenjin where she had found it.

"It might have been left there by someone, or it might have fallen there accidentally. If you use it, what if someone else comes looking for it?" Wenxiu said.

Wen Jin didn't say anything.

"Let's have breakfast and wash our hands first."

After breakfast, Wenxiu changed into a floral slit skirt, put on a sun hat, and walked to the beach with Wen Jin.

There were indeed many hermit crabs running back and forth in the wetlands by the sea, retreating into their shells when approached. Not far away, you could see a few adults and children picking up crabs for fun.

Wen Jin carried the small blue bucket over and poured out half of the contents, forming a small hill. A few brave people took the opportunity to run away.

After Wen Jin finished pouring, he turned around and looked at Wen Xiu.

Wenxiu sighed: "It's not that I don't allow you to raise them, but half a bucket is too many. You can pick one or two, but can you guarantee that you can feed them?"

Wen Jin lowered his head and looked at the hermit crabs all over the ground without saying a word.

In the end, Wen Jin didn't take any away.
