His hands were trembling slightly, his eyes were full of heartache and self-blame, as if he was the one who was injured, and he kept saying, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t take good care of you. The road here is so difficult to walk…” Jiang Tingyan frowned, and several deep grooves squeezed out of his forehead. His usually gentle eyes were now full of panic and regret. He squatted down and carefully supported Lin Wanyi’s swollen ankle. His heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and it was painful. Looking at Lin Wanyi’s face distorted by pain, he was anxious and felt that every second of delay was a sin, so he blew gently on her ankle, trying to relieve some of the pain with this meager force. It looked as if if he blew more carefully, he could blow away Lin Wanyi’s pain in an instant.

Jiang Tingyan looked at Lin Wanyi, who was gritting her teeth in pain. His eyes were red and tears were welling up in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall. He gritted his teeth and swore secretly that he would take her away from this damn place and go to the hospital immediately no matter what. When he put Lin Wanyi’s arm on his shoulder, he said softly but firmly: “I’ll carry you back, let’s go to the hospital now.” As he said that, he slowly stood up, his legs trembling slightly due to the effort, every muscle was tense, Lin Wanyi on his back weighed more than a thousand pounds at this moment, but he was full of urgency to send Lin Wanyi to the hospital as soon as possible. The mud under his feet was more like a difficult demon at this moment. Every step he took took a lot of effort. His shoes were dragged by the mud, but he didn’t care at all, just thinking about going faster and faster.

After Lin Wanyi sprained her ankle, Jiang Tingyan took care of everything inside and outside while she was recovering from the injury. While taking care of Lin Wanyi’s daily life, he helped to sort out the materials for the subsequent trial, and was busy like a spinning top. Every time he brought water and medicine to Lin Wanyi and looked at her injured foot, Jiang Tingyan couldn’t help but blame himself, thinking to himself: “Why am I so careless? I should have watched her more closely at that time.” But he still had a gentle and soothing smile on his face, and gently told Lin Wanyi not to move. The child also obediently helped to pass a document and take a pen. Jiang Tingyan looked at the child, full of relief, thinking that as long as the family was united, there would be no obstacles that could not be overcome, and he looked forward to helping Lin Wanyi win the case beautifully on the day of the trial.

On the day of the trial, Jiang Tingyan got up early, dressed neatly, and carefully dressed the child. Along the way, he held the child’s hand tightly, his palms were slightly sweaty, his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and the possible situations that might occur in the trial kept appearing in his mind. When he arrived at the court, Jiang Tingyan sat silently in the audience with the child, staring at the entrance of the court without blinking, waiting for Lin Wanyi to appear.

In the court, the atmosphere was tense, and the wealthy corporate lawyers threw out all kinds of tricky questions to try to confuse right and wrong. Lin Wanyi sat in the defense seat with a firm look in her eyes. Jiang Tingyan looked at her straight back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: “I knew my wife wouldn’t be scared by this.” Whenever the other party made trouble, Jiang Tingyan’s heart suddenly tightened, his hands unconsciously clenched, his knuckles turned white, and he stared at Lin Wanyi the whole time. At each critical point, he silently cheered for her in his heart, and his face showed a look of tension or joy as the rhythm of the trial progressed.

At the moment of the final victory verdict, Lin Wanyi stood up with tears in her eyes. Jiang Tingyan rushed forward with the child in his arms, his chest heaving violently with excitement, tears rolling down his eyes, his face full of pride and relief. He knew very well that on this long road to defend justice, they supported each other, their figures became more determined, and their love became deeper. He thought: “As long as our family is together, what should we be afraid of in the future, no matter how many storms there are?” The family hugged each other tightly, and everything around them seemed to become a blurred background, only the warmth and love between each other were extremely clear.

On the day of the trial, Jiang Tingyan still brought his children to the court. In the court, facing all kinds of difficulties from the wealthy corporate lawyers, Lin Wanyi responded calmly with a firm look in her eyes. Jiang Tingyan looked at her confident look and felt more at ease in his nervousness. He clenched his fists in the audience and secretly encouraged her. His eyes never left Lin Wanyi, and his heartbeat rose and fell with the rhythm of the trial. Seeing Lin Wanyi clearly and methodically using detailed evidence and passionate speeches to fight for the rights of wetlands, Jiang Tingyan was full of pride and couldn’t help but raise his mouth, but the next second he was pulled tight by the new confrontation. When the final victory was announced, Lin Wanyi was so excited that she burst into tears, and tears slid down her cheeks and flashed under the lights. Jiang Tingyan rushed up with the child in his arms. His eyes had already turned red, tears burst out, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He knew that on the road to defending justice, their figures became more determined and their love became deeper. The days of walking hand in hand were his most precious treasure. No matter what the future held, they would never leave each other.

The joy of winning the case still lingers in this small family, and the gears of life slowly turn again, opening a new chapter. After winning the wetland case, Lin Wanyi’s reputation in the legal community became more and more famous. The cases that came to her because of her reputation became more and more difficult and complicated, but the light in her eyes became more and more blazing, and she had no intention of retreating. Jiang Tingyan looked at his busy wife, and in addition to feeling distressed, he took the initiative to take on more housework and the responsibility of taking care of the children. Every morning, he would get up an hour earlier than usual, walk into the kitchen quietly, open the refrigerator and think about the breakfast menu for the day. Sometimes standing in front of the refrigerator, he would pause for a while, thinking: “Wanyi was busy so late yesterday, I have to make her something high in calories and replenishing her energy.” So he decided to make a fluffy and soft ham sandwich, paired with freshly squeezed orange juice; sometimes he thought that something light would be good for the stomach, so he cooked steaming vegetable porridge and fried a few golden poached eggs. He covered the table with a beautiful tablecloth and placed exquisite tableware. Looking at the warm and appetizing table, Jiang Tingyan showed a satisfied smile, just to let Lin Wanyi have a moment of comfort before the intense work. After sending the children to school, Jiang Tingyan went straight to the vegetable market, carefully selecting ingredients from the bustling stalls, and thinking as he picked: “I have to make Wanyi her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs in the evening, and stir-fry some refreshing seasonal vegetables, so that the nutrition is balanced.”

One weekend, Lin Wanyi had no urgent cases on hand, so the family planned to go camping in the suburbs. As early as the week before, Jiang Tingyan started the preparations with great enthusiasm. After dinner, he pulled Lin Wanyi to sit on the sofa, unfolded a crumpled paper, his eyes sparkling, full of expectation, pointed to the itinerary on the paper and said, “Wife, I have been preparing for this camping for a long time. Let’s set off after get off work on Friday to avoid the peak of leaving the city on weekends. There will be fewer people at that time, and we can have more fun.”

Lin Wanyi smiled and nodded: “Okay, I’ll listen to you. What should we bring? I’m afraid I’ll be too busy and forget something important.”

Jiang Tingyan scratched his head, counted on his fingers and started to list, with a silly smile on his face: “We must bring a tent. I went to the outdoor store to check in advance and bought a large one, thinking that it would be spacious for the three of us to sleep in, and we can chat comfortably at night. I also picked a thick sleeping bag. It’s cold in the suburbs at night, and I don’t want you and the child to be frozen. There are also picnic mats and folding chairs, so we can sit comfortably in the sun, how comfortable it is.”

Lin Wanyi thought for a moment and added, “Don’t forget to bring mosquito repellent spray. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the suburbs, and a bite is very uncomfortable. The last time I went to conduct a survey, I was bitten all over. Also bring some common medicines, just in case.”

“Oh, thanks for reminding me!” Jiang Tingyan hurriedly wrote it down, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. “What about food, do you want to eat? I plan to grill some chicken wings and corn, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and bring some fruits and small cakes so that I can eat them whenever I’m hungry.” “It sounds great. Bring some tea leaves too. You can drink hot tea in the morning and watch the sunrise. It’s warm and comfortable.” Lin Wanyi leaned on Jiang Tingyan’s shoulder, closed her eyes, and looked longing.

The child was listening nearby, jumping up and down with excitement, his face flushed. “I want to bring my comic books and little dinosaur toys. We can play dinosaur adventures on the grass. It must be super fun!”

“Okay, okay, take them all.” Jiang Tingyan touched the child’s head with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

Finally it was Friday. Jiang Tingyan drove home anxiously after work, and the trunk was already stuffed to the brim. He picked up Lin Wanyi and the child and drove all the way to the suburbs. When they arrived at the campsite, Jiang Tingyan skillfully took out the equipment from the trunk and began to set up the tent. His movements were neat and his eyes were focused. From time to time he looked up at the busy child and the comfortable Lin Wanyi, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. The child helped to pass the tools in a very professional manner, and from time to time he was attracted by the butterflies in the grass and ran away happily. Jiang Tingyan looked at the child’s lively back, smiled and shook his head. Lin Wanyi sat on a folding chair nearby, watching the two of them busy, with a comfortable and happy smile on her face. Jiang Tingyan looked at her, his heart full of sweetness.

As night fell, Jiang Tingyan lit a bonfire in the middle of the camp. The flames roared and sparks crackled into the night sky. He skewered the marinated chicken wings and corn and roasted them over the fire. He stared at the food and turned it over from time to time, with a focused and enjoyable look. Soon, the air was filled with an alluring aroma. The family sat together. Jiang Tingyan handed the sizzling marshmallows to Lin Wanyi and the child. Seeing them eating happily, he also laughed. The warm sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue and warmed his heart. The child pestered Lin Wanyi to tell adventure stories, and she exaggerated the interesting episodes in the past cases, which made the child’s eyes light up and exclaim from time to time. Jiang Tingyan looked at the two of them, and suddenly on a whim, he took out an old guitar from the back seat of the car, gently plucked the strings, a little shy on his face, cleared his throat, and sang a warm folk song. Lin Wanyi leaned on his shoulder and hummed along. Under the starry night sky, love was flowing. Jiang Tingyan felt that this moment was extremely beautiful and his heart was full of gratitude for life.

However, the calm did not last long, as new challenges came. A large technology company was suspected of technology infringement and approached Lin Wanyi, hoping that she would represent the company in the defense. The case involved many transnational patent laws and regulations, and the difficulty coefficient was off the charts. As soon as Lin Wanyi received the case, her brows twisted into a knot. Jiang Tingyan looked at her worried look, and his heart also tightened, but soon Lin Wanyi’s eyes became sharp again. Seeing her like this, Jiang Tingyan joked, “My female warrior is going to the battle again, I’ll prepare the food and grass first.” As he spoke, he thought to himself, “This case is definitely not simple, but I have to support her with all my strength and never let her have any worries.”

He accompanied Lin Wanyi to dive into the pile of information. Those obscure professional terms and intricate technical drawings made Jiang Tingyan dizzy, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, and finished it bit by bit with Lin Wanyi. During the preparation period, the child was sensible and did not make noise. When the two of them were tired, he would bring them hot milk that he made himself. Late one night, Lin Wanyi was so tired that she fell asleep on the table. Jiang Tingyan gently picked her up and put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and turned around to see the child still under the desk lamp, holding a colored pen in her little hand, writing “Come on, Mom” ​​on the paper, and drawing a picture of the family holding hands. Jiang Tingyan’s eyes were hot, and his heart was full of emotion. He also carried the child to bed and said softly: “Let’s quietly save energy for Mom.”

On the day of the trial, Jiang Tingyan sat quietly in the audience with his children. Lin Wanyi was dressed in a smart suit, with a strong aura. Facing the other party’s sharp questioning, she was calm and unhurried. Jiang Tingyan looked at her confident appearance, nodded slightly, and said to himself: “Hold on, wife, you can do it.” He clenched his hands unconsciously, his knuckles turned white, and stared at Lin Wanyi the whole time. At each critical point, he silently cheered for her in his heart, and the expression on his face was tense or relaxed with the rhythm of the trial.

When the verdict was announced, the whole audience was excited. Jiang Tingyan rushed up to hug Lin Wanyi, his chest heaving violently, he was so excited that he could not control himself, tears rolled down, his heart was full of pride and relief. At this moment, they knew that the warmth and support of the family was the basis for Lin Wanyi’s fearless charge, and Lin Wanyi’s struggle and achievements were also the most brilliant medals of this family. In the future, they will still be so close to each other, setting sail towards the storms of life again and again.

During this period of time after the victory, Lin Wanyi’s business became increasingly busy, and Jiang Tingyan also guarded the warmth of the family more carefully. He began to learn to make a detailed family schedule. When he wrote and drew on the notebook with a pen, he thought to himself: “I have to make life more interesting so that Wanyi can relax.” Not only did he arrange the housework in an orderly manner, but he also cleverly inserted various warm family activities. For example, every Tuesday and Thursday night is a fixed family movie time. He will prepare popcorn and juice in advance, draw the curtains, and decorate the living room into the atmosphere of a small movie theater. Thinking that Lin Wanyi can put aside the pressure of the case in this short time and immerse herself in the laughter of comedy or the warmth of art films, he feels that everything is worth it.
