The faint light of dawn filtered through the soft gauze curtains, quietly falling into the bedroom of the Jiang family villa. Jiang Zhi slowly woke up, and beside her, Shen Qingchen's sleeping face was calm and peaceful. A faint smile curled her lips, and she stood up gently, afraid to disturb the rare tranquility. She walked to the window and opened the curtains. Warm sunlight instantly poured in, illuminating the entire room and seeming to gild the new day with a layer of golden hope.
After a quick wash, Jiang Zhi tiptoed to the kitchen. Inside, the various kitchen utensils shone coolly in the morning light. She expertly donned her apron and opened the refrigerator, surveying the dazzling array of ingredients, mentally planning what breakfast she would prepare for her family. Soon, the porridge in the pot began to bubble, its aroma gradually filling the air. She turned again, picked up an egg, and gently tapped it against the edge of the bowl. The golden liquid flowed into the bowl, stirring rapidly with chopsticks, creating ripples in the bowl.
At this time, Shen Qingchen had also finished washing up and walked into the kitchen. He gently hugged Jiang Zhi from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said softly: "Good morning, dear, thank you for making breakfast again." Jiang Zhi turned slightly and looked up at him, her eyes full of tenderness: "It's not hard. I am happy to cook for you every day." The two smiled at each other, and a warm atmosphere flowed in the kitchen.
Breakfast was ready. Jiang Zhi placed the steaming hot meal on the table and called out, "Xiao Rui, Xiao You, it's time for breakfast!" A moment later, the siblings entered the dining room, one after the other. Xiao Rui was still bleary-eyed, his hair a bit disheveled, while Xiao You was bouncing around, full of energy. "Wow, Mommy's breakfast looks delicious!" Xiao You said cheerfully, flopping down on a chair. Xiao Rui nodded in agreement, rubbed his eyes, and began to devour his food.
The family sat around the dining table, laughter and chatter flowing. Jiang Zhishi would occasionally serve food to the children, urging them, "Eat more! A full stomach gives you the energy to study and work." Shen Qingchen would read the newspaper, occasionally joining in the children's conversation to share interesting news. Xiaoyou excitedly recounted anecdotes from school, his gestures and gestures making everyone laugh. Xiaorui also discussed the latest developments in the company's R&D department, his eyes gleaming with pride.
After breakfast, the children went about their own business, and Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen were also preparing to go to the company. Before leaving, Jiang Zhi carefully adjusted Shen Qingchen's tie, and Shen Qingchen gently kissed her forehead. Their eyes met, full of love and tacit understanding.
The busy working hours always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was evening. Jiang Zhi finished a day's meeting, rubbed her sore neck, and walked out of the office. But she saw Shen Qingchen waiting at the door with a bouquet of gorgeous flowers in her hand. "Thank you for your hard work, dear. These flowers are for you." Shen Qingchen smiled and handed the flowers to Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi was surprised and happy, her cheeks flushed slightly: "What are you doing? You are so romantic all of a sudden." Shen Qingchen took her hand: "Seeing you so busy every day, I want to give you a surprise. Let's go home."
The two returned home hand in hand. As soon as they entered the house, they were greeted by the aroma of food. Xiaoyou and Xiaorui had gotten out of school early, and wanting to surprise their parents, they took the initiative to bustle into the kitchen. "Mom and Dad, you're back! Come try our cooking!" Xiaoyou, wearing an apron, popped her head out of the kitchen like a little adult.
On the dining table, a few dishes, though not exquisite, were prepared with much care. The family gathered together once again to share this heartwarming dinner. Xiaoyou looked at his parents expectantly: "Mom and Dad, try this sweet and sour pork ribs I made. I spent ages learning how to make it by following an online tutorial." Jiang Zhi picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, his eyes filled with satisfaction: "Mm, delicious! Our Xiaoyou has grown up and is a great cook." Xiaorui scratched his head a little sheepishly: "I helped out, but my cooking skills still need improvement." As everyone ate, they shared their experiences of the day, and laughter echoed in the room.
After dinner, Xiao Rui offered to help clear the table, while Xiao You dragged Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen into the living room and suggested they go see a movie together. "It's been ages since we've seen a movie together. Let's relax tonight," Xiao You said coquettishly. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen exchanged a glance, smiled, and nodded in agreement.
The family huddled on the sofa, covered in soft blankets, the coffee table laden with snacks. Xiaoyou had chosen a heartwarming comedy, and as the film played, bursts of laughter rang out in the living room. Jiang Zhi leaned on Shen Qingchen's shoulder, gently stroking Xiaoyou's hair, her heart filled with happiness. Xiaorui would occasionally offer his thoughts on the movie's plot, drawing further laughter from everyone.
After the movie, it was already late. Jiang Zhi urged the children to wash up and go to bed, and she and Shen Qingchen returned to the bedroom. Lying on the bed, Shen Qingchen gently hugged Jiang Zhi and whispered in her ear: "I had a great day today. It's great to have you and the children around." Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, tears of happiness flashing in her eyes: "Yes, this is the life I want, simple and warm." The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms, and the moonlight shone through the window, shining on them, drawing a perfect end to this warm night.
It was a sunny weekend morning. After Jiang Zhi woke up, she didn't get up immediately as usual, but stretched lazily, enjoying this rare leisure time. Shen Qingchen beside her was still sleeping soundly. She got up gently, walked to the window, and looked at the flowers blooming in the garden outside the window. She felt particularly relaxed.
After a while, Jiang Zhi decided to go downstairs to prepare breakfast. As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard a slight noise coming from downstairs. She walked down curiously, only to see Xiaoyou and Xiaorui already busy in the kitchen. "What are you two doing, getting up so early?" Jiang Zhi asked with a smile. Xiaoyou raised her head, with some flour on her face, looking a little funny: "Mom, we thought about making breakfast for you and Dad today since it's the weekend, so you can take a rest." Xiaorui also nodded: "Yes, Mom, you work so hard to take care of us." Jiang Zhi felt warm in her heart, and her eyes were slightly moist: "Okay, then Mom will wait to taste your cooking skills."
