Right as rain 健康、顺利
    2019-09-26  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: How is your mother-in-law? You mentioned that she had a terrible flu last week.

B: Thanks for asking. She was very ill and ran a high fever for three days. We were very much worried. But she’s right as rain now. By the way, how’s your project going? Tom said you are flipping a house.

A: Everything has been right as rain. I figure I can get everything ready by the end of this month.

Note: This idiom means “in good order or good health; satisfactory.” The allusion in this simile is unclear, but it originated in Britain, where rainy weather is a normal fact of life. It was first recorded in 1894.
