It was the last day before moving into the new house. Mr. and Mrs. Martin wanted to make it warm and lovely, so they decided to do some decorating themselves. That morning, Mrs. Martin stood at the door, reminding her busy husband, “Don’t climb too high, don’t move heavy boxes, and don’t forget to rest,” she said again and again, before she eventually headed out to buy curtains.
Earlier, their daughter Emily had called. She said she was tied up with her job in another city, but promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll celebrate together soon.” The couple missed her, of course, but they smiled at each other and agreed it would be meaningful to get the new home ready, a warm welcome awaiting their daughter’s arrival.
Mr. Martin waved goodbye to his wife and went back to his decorating work, confident and full of energy at first. But soon the living room turned into a battlefield. Boxes, nails, a hammer and screwdrivers lay everywhere. Paint splashed onto the floor, and the wall looked like a child’s drawing. And several photo frames were scattered on the ground.
“A spider!” Mr. Martin climbed onto a shaky stool to chase it away — his wife hated those things — but instead, he slipped and broke a photo frame. “Ouch, my back!” he groaned, sweat trickling down his forehead. He began to wonder whether he was really able to do this job alone.
Then came a sharp smell from the kitchen. “Oh no, my cake!” Mr. Martin dragged himself to open the oven. The cake, which he had planned to surprise his wife, was now nothing but a hard black rock. He stared at it, shaking his head. “Should I admit the mess? Or pretend nothing happened?” he whispered. Suddenly, the door creaked open. Mrs. Martin stepped inside with the new curtains in her arms.

For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen. Her eyes swept over the chaos, while Mr. Martin lowered his head. “I wanted to surprise you,” he said softly, “but it seems I’ve made a bigger mess instead.” Mrs. Martin sighed, half amused and half concerned, and quickly went over to check her husband's back. Seeing that he was fine, she said with a smile, “Let's fix this together.” Side by side, the couple picked up the frames, gathered the scattered tools, and cleaned the floor. Finally, Mr. Martin ascended the stool as Mrs. Martin steadied it. He reached up to smooth each fold and secured the hooks (钩)— soft fabric settling into quiet order.
With the new curtains finally in place, the doorbell rang. When Mrs. Martin opened the door, their daughter Emily stood there, a cake in hand, grinning. “I finished early,” she said, delighted by the tidy house, “and thought I'd help you decorate before the celebration.” Mr. Martin's tired face lit up with joy as he pulled his daughter into a warm hug. They placed the cake on the tidy table, the sweet smell replacing the burnt one. As the three of them sat close together, eating and chatting, their laughter filled the small living room. The house, though still smelling faintly of paint, felt more like home than ever.
