My daughter was the first to start talking. She sat on a chair, her little feet dangling in the air, holding a spoon in her little hands, eating with big mouthfuls, and happily sharing what happened at school: "Mom and Dad, there is a new classmate in our class today. He is so interesting. He was secretly folding a small airplane under the table during class, but was discovered by the teacher. The teacher asked him to stand up and answer a question, but he didn't even know where he was talking about, and made the whole class laugh." As she spoke, my daughter couldn't help laughing, her eyes shining.
Jiang Zhi looked at her daughter with a gentle smile. She asked softly, "What happened next? Did the new student answer the question correctly?" Her daughter swallowed her food and quickly said, "Then the teacher explained the question to him again, and he answered it correctly. The teacher even praised him for being smart. And after class, he took the initiative to come and play with me and my classmates. We played skipping rope together. Although he didn't know how to do it very well, he learned very quickly."
My son was not to be outdone. He put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and said seriously, "I was great at school today, too! During science class, the teacher asked us to do a small experiment. We put salt in water to see what changes would happen. I was the first one to discover that salt would slowly disappear when added to water, and the water would taste saltier. The teacher also praised me for my careful observation." My son's face was filled with a proud smile, and his little chest was held high.
Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen watched their children chat about their school life, their hearts filled with happiness and satisfaction. They listened attentively to every detail, sometimes smiling and nodding, and sometimes offering words of encouragement, letting the children know how much they cherish these little everyday moments. In this loving home, the daily grind of parenting is no longer a burden, but rather the most precious and heartwarming moments of happiness, like twinkling stars in the night sky, illuminating every corner of life. This warmth and love of home is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every family member, forever imprinted.
After dinner, the children played with building blocks in the living room for a while before becoming a little sleepy. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen took them upstairs, helped them wash up, and changed into soft, comfortable pajamas. The daughter, hugging her beloved teddy bear, lay on the bed, her eyes wide open. She looked at Jiang Zhi and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to hear you tell a story." Jiang Zhi sat down beside the bed, gently patted her daughter's quilt, and said softly, "Okay, baby, then today Mom will tell you a story about a brave little princess."
So, Jiang Zhi began to tell the story softly: "In a kingdom far, far away, there was a little princess. She was very beautiful and kind-hearted. One day, a ferocious monster suddenly came to the kingdom. It made trouble everywhere and robbed everyone's food. The little princess was very sad to see everyone so scared, so she decided to defeat the monster bravely. She picked up her sword, rode her pony, and walked towards the monster's cave..." The daughter was fascinated by the story, and gradually, her eyelids began to droop, and soon she fell into a sweet dream.
Shen Qingchen was also accompanying his son by his bedside. His son was lying on the bed, holding a small comic book in his hand, reluctant to put it down. Shen Qingchen gently took the book and placed it on the bedside, saying to his son, "Son, you've played all day today, it's time to go to bed, otherwise you won't have the energy for school tomorrow." The son nodded, but then asked, "Dad, do you think I can be as smart as you in the future and do a lot of amazing things?" Shen Qingchen looked at his son's eyes full of longing, and his heart was filled with emotion. He stroked his son's head and said with certainty, "Of course you can, son. You are even smarter than your father was when he was a child. As long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to do a lot of amazing things in the future." Encouraged by his father, the son closed his eyes with peace of mind, a smile still on his lips.
After the children fell asleep, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen tiptoed out of the room and onto the balcony. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a slight chill but making people feel particularly comfortable. They stood side by side at the railing, gazing at the starry night sky, the moonlight pouring down on them like water.
Jiang Zhi leaned lightly on Shen Qingchen's shoulder, sighed slightly, and said softly: "Seeing the children so happy today, I feel that all the hard work is worth it. They are growing up every day, and there are new changes every day. I really hope to be with them all the time, protect them, and let them always be so carefree." Shen Qingchen stretched out his hand, gently put his arm around Jiang Zhi's waist, and said softly: "Don't worry, we will. The children are so sensible and cute, it's all your credit. You take care of them so well." Jiang Zhi shook his head slightly, smiled and said: "No, you have also paid a lot. The children admire you very much. You are a good role model for them."
The two stood quietly on the balcony, savoring this moment of peace and warmth. In this complex world, home is their warmest harbor, and their children are the softest care in their hearts. They know that the days ahead will bring countless challenges and difficulties, but as long as the family is together, supporting and caring for each other, nothing can stop them from pursuing happiness. The warmth and sweetness of this journey of raising children will be forever etched in their hearts, becoming the most precious treasure in their lives, accompanying them through every spring, summer, autumn and winter, until the end of their lives.
As the night deepens, everything is silent and the Jiang family villa is immersed in tranquility. Only the soft moonlight still quietly shines on the roof, garden and every window, guarding this quiet and deep happiness, as if whispering an eternal story about love and growth.
