"Okay!" Shen Nian'an nodded vigorously. "I also want to learn to read from Dad so I can teach my little sister to read and help her get first place, just like me!"
At night, after feeding Nianxi, Lin Wanqiu put her back in the cradle. Shen Nian'an rubbed her eyes and came over, holding a piece of drawing paper in her hand: "Mom, this is a drawing I made for my sister. It has her, me, and Mom and Dad. Our family is playing in the sunflower field."
Lin Wanqiu took the drawing paper. Five little people were drawn on it with crayons. Nianxi was drawn as a small circle, with "Little Sister Xixi" written next to her. The family was holding hands, and golden sunflowers were drawn all around them, painted in particularly bright colors. She couldn't help but kiss Nian'an's forehead: "It's so well drawn. When your little sister grows up, Mom will show it to her."
Chen Nian'an yawned, but didn't want to leave yet: "Mom, can I stay with my sister a little longer? I want to watch her sleep."
"Of course," Lin Wanqiu said with a smile, "but you should go to bed early, you have school tomorrow."
Shen Nian'an nodded, sat on a small stool, leaned his head against the cradle, and soon fell asleep, a smile still on his lips, clutching the drawing he had made for his sister in his hand. Shen Tingzhou came over, gently carried him to the kang (heated brick bed) next door, and covered him with a quilt.
Lin Wanqiu looked at Nianxi in the cradle, then at Nian'an sleeping soundly on the kang next door, her heart filled with contentment. She gently stroked the jade pendant on her chest, and suddenly felt it warm slightly. A gentle voice came from her mind: "Infant needs detected. 'Infant Care Skills' unlocked, including modules such as feeding guidance, handling common discomforts, and complementary food preparation, which can be accessed at any time."
Lin Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, then realized—the space had unlocked a new skill! She was overjoyed; with this skill, she would have more confidence in taking care of Nianxi. She looked down at Nianxi and said softly, "Xixi, look, even Mommy's jade pendant is helping to take care of you. You will definitely grow up healthy and strong."
Moonlight streamed through the window, falling on Nianxi's little face and Shen Nian'an's drawing paper. Lin Wanqiu leaned against Shen Tingzhou, listening to the two children's even breathing, her heart filled with happiness. She knew that with the company of her family and the help of the space, her life would become better and better, and Nian'an and Nianxi would grow up healthy and happy surrounded by love.
