"Wow, Nian'an is amazing! She's such a smart child." Lin Wanqiu couldn't help but praise her, her heart filled with pride. She knew that Shen Nian'an worked very hard in her studies, doing her homework diligently every day after school. If she encountered any problems she didn't understand, she would proactively ask Shen Tingzhou for help. To have such a strong thirst for knowledge at such a young age, she was sure to have a bright future.

When Shen Tingzhou returned from the workshop, he saw that the yard was spotless and the dishes and chopsticks inside the house were neatly washed, so he knew that Shen Nian'an had done the work. He went into the house and saw Shen Nian'an chatting with Lin Wanqiu, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Nian'an is back? How did you do at school today?"

"Dad, I got a perfect score on my math test today! I also helped Mom sweep the yard and wash the dishes!" Shen Nian'an stood up excitedly and shared her story with Shen Tingzhou.

"What a good child!" Shen Tingzhou walked over and gently patted Shen Nian'an's head, his eyes full of pride. "Nian'an has grown up and can help Mom and Dad with chores now. Dad will cook you something delicious tonight as a reward."

"That's great! Thank you, Dad!" Shen Nian'an jumped up with joy, her face full of smiles.

That evening, Shen Tingzhou prepared a delicious meal, including braised fish, stir-fried shredded pork, steamed egg custard, and braised pork, Shen Nian'an's favorite. The family sat around the table, happily enjoying their meal. Shen Nian'an kept putting food on Lin Wanqiu's plate, reminding her, "Mom, eat more fish. The doctor said fish is good for the baby. And have some steamed egg custard too; it's soft and easy to digest."

Lin Wanqiu felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at Shen Nian'an's considerate manner. She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Shen Nian'an's bowl: "Nian'an, eat more too. You need to get more nutrition while you're growing."

Grandma Shen kept putting food on Shen Nian'an's plate, saying, "Nian'an, eat more. You've grown so much stronger lately. Our Nian'an will definitely be a successful child in the future."

The family chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company, filling the house with a warm atmosphere. After dinner, Shen Nian'an took the initiative to clear the dishes and then went to the kitchen to wash them. Shen Tingzhou helped Lin Wanqiu take a walk in the yard. Watching Shen Nian'an's busy figure, Shen Tingzhou said softly to Lin Wanqiu, "Our Nian'an is becoming more and more sensible. With him around, we can relax a lot more."

"Yes, this child is such a sweet little angel," Lin Wanqiu said with a smile, her eyes filled with happiness. She knew that she was truly blessed to have such a sensible son, such a considerate husband, and such a caring mother-in-law.

For the next few days, Shen Nian'an took the initiative to help with household chores every day. In the morning, he would get up early to help Grandma Shen clean the yard, and then go to the kitchen to help light the fire and cook porridge; in the morning, he would chat and take walks with Lin Wanqiu, telling her interesting stories from school; in the afternoon, he would do his homework diligently, and after finishing his homework, he would help with some household chores within his ability, such as wiping the table and tidying up the room.

One day, Lin Wanqiu wanted to sew some clothes for her unborn baby, but as soon as she picked up the needle and thread, her eyes felt tired. Shen Nian'an saw this and quickly came over, taking the needle and thread from her: "Mom, your eyes are tired, let me help you thread the needle. I learned at school that I can thread needles quickly and well."

Lin Wanqiu smiled and handed the needle and thread to Shen Nian'an, watching him carefully thread the needle. Although Shen Nian'an's little hands were a little clumsy, he was very focused and quickly threaded the needle. He even carefully tied a knot in the thread and handed it to Lin Wanqiu: "Mom, it's all done. You can sew clothes now."

Lin Wanqiu took the needle and thread and began sewing. Chen Nian sat quietly beside her, watching, occasionally handing her scissors or a thimble. Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the mother and son, creating a warm and beautiful scene.

When Shen Tingzhou returned from outside and saw this scene, his heart was filled with warmth. He walked to Lin Wanqiu's side and said softly, "Wanqiu, take a rest, don't tire yourself out. Nian'an, you stay with Mom for a while, Dad will go peel some fruit for you."

“Okay!” Shen Nian’an immediately helped Lin Wanqiu lean against the rocking chair, then sat on the small stool next to her and told Lin Wanqiu about the interesting things that happened at school, making Lin Wanqiu laugh out loud.

Looking at Shen Nian'an's adorable face, Lin Wanqiu felt a surge of happiness. She knew that with such a sensible son and such a considerate husband, she would definitely be able to give birth to the baby smoothly, and their family's life would surely become happier and more fulfilling. She looked forward to the baby's birth, to the day when the family of four would be reunited, and to an even brighter future.
