Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle and hurried home.
Along the way, the street lights gradually lit up, and the dim lights intertwined on the ground, outlining mottled light and shadows.
The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it did not blow away Zhou Ziwen's concern and expectation for his family.
He finally arrived home. Before he even entered the door, he heard the laughter of Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan coming from inside the house.
When I opened the door, I saw Chen Qiaoyi playing with building blocks with the children in the living room. The colorful building blocks turned into various childlike shapes in the children's hands.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming back, Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan cheered and rushed towards him.
Zhou Ziwen picked up the two children, kissed them on the face again and again, and said with a smile: "Dad is back, did you miss him?"
"Yes!" the two children answered in unison, their voices clear and loud.
Chen Qiaoyi stood up, walked towards Zhou Ziwen with a smile, took his coat, and said gently, "You're back. How was school today?"
Zhou Ziwen put the children down, took Chen Qiaoyi's hand, and excitedly shared his experience at school today: "In today's class discussion on a mechanical design case, my ideas were well-received by the teacher and classmates. Many students even came to ask me questions during breaks."
Chen Qiaoyi's eyes were full of pride as she said, "I knew you could do it. You've always been so outstanding."
The family sat around the dining table for dinner. Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan couldn't wait to tell Zhou Ziwen about the interesting things they had at home today. Sometimes they talked about telling stories to their toy bear, and sometimes they talked about having a building block competition to see who could build the tallest one.
Looking at the children's excited faces, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi were amused and laughed from time to time, and a warm atmosphere filled the whole room.
After dinner, it is customary for parents and children to have reading time.
Zhou Ziwen chose an interesting science picture book and sat on the sofa. Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan immediately snuggled up to him.
Zhou Ziwen read the book vividly and explained the scientific knowledge in the book to the children. The children listened attentively with curiosity shining in their eyes.
When they read something interesting, Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan couldn't help laughing out loud, and their clear laughter echoed in the room.
After reading the picture book, Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan didn’t want to go to bed, so they pulled Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi to play a riddle-guessing game.
During the game, the children's clever looks and childlike answers made Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi laugh from ear to ear.
Only when they were tired from playing did the children wash up and change into soft pajamas.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi carried the children to bed, sat beside the bed, and hummed lullabies to them softly.
Amid the gentle singing, Yueyue and Xuanxuan slowly closed their eyes and fell into a sweet dream.
Looking at the children sleeping soundly, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi quietly walked out of the room and closed the door.
The two came to the living room and sat together. Chen Qiao leaned on Zhou Ziwen's shoulder and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast. The children are growing up day by day. I really hope they will always be so happy."
Zhou Ziwen nodded, held Chen Qiaoyi's hand and said, "Yes, we will always be with them as they grow. The factory is developing better and better now, and their future life will definitely be happier."
The two sat quietly for a while, reviewing every detail of the day, their hearts filled with warmth.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto the living room floor, forming patches of golden light.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi slowly woke up under the caress of the sun. After a simple wash, Chen Qiaoyi went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After a while, the aroma of toast and fried eggs wafted from the kitchen.
Zhou Ziwen came to the children's room and saw Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan still sleeping with rosy little faces, looking very cute.
He gently kissed each of the children on the forehead and whispered, "Dear ones, it's time to get up."
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan moved in their sleep, slowly opened their eyes, and when they saw their father, they smiled sleepily.
The family sat around the dining table eating breakfast. Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan discussed what they were going to do today while eating.
Xiao Yueyue said she wanted to draw, and Xiao Xuanxuan said he wanted to build a bigger and more beautiful building block castle.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi listened with a smile, occasionally picking up food for the children and reminding them to eat slowly.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen prepared to go to the factory to take a look.
The factory was preparing for mass production of a new product, and he had a lot of things to deal with. Before leaving, he made an agreement with the children that he would come back in the evening to help them complete their "little plan."
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan nodded obediently and said, "Dad, please come back soon."
Zhou Ziwen arrived at the factory and felt the busy atmosphere as soon as he entered the gate.
The workers were working in an orderly manner at their respective posts, and the roar of machines was intertwined. He went straight to the production workshop to check the progress of the new product.
In the workshop, he carefully inspected every production link, communicated with technical personnel, and put forward optimization suggestions for some production processes.
Afterwards, Zhou Ziwen went to the R&D center again to discuss some minor problems that occurred during the testing of the new product with the R&D team.
Everyone sat together, expressed their opinions, and after a heated discussion, they finally found a solution.
Zhou Ziwen felt very pleased when he saw the motivated team members. He knew that the factory’s development to this day was inseparable from the efforts of everyone.
At noon, Zhou Ziwen had a simple meal in the factory cafeteria and then returned to the office to continue working.
He carefully studied market research reports, analyzed industry trends, and thought about how to further expand the factory's business.
He found that with the continuous development of science and technology, the market demand for intelligent mechanical products is growing, and factories can increase their R&D and production investment in this regard.
In the afternoon, the supplier called and said that a batch of key components that had been ordered earlier had arrived ahead of schedule.
Zhou Ziwen immediately arranged for personnel to receive the goods and conduct strict quality inspections on the parts.
Only after ensuring the quality of the parts did he feel at ease to put them into production.
Time flies in the busyness, and before I know it, the sun is setting.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the time and remembered the agreement with his children, so he quickly packed up and rode his bike home.
Along the way, he thought about the children's lovely smiling faces and felt particularly relaxed.
When Zhou Ziwen returned home and just opened the door, he saw Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan holding paintbrushes and building blocks, staring at the door eagerly.
Seeing their father coming back, the two children immediately ran over. Little Yueyue held Zhou Ziwen's hand and said, "Dad, you are finally back. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Xuanxuan also said, "Dad, come and draw and build blocks with us."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and picked up the two children, saying, "Okay, Dad will accompany you right away."
The family spent a joyful evening in the living room. Little Yueyue drew a colorful picture of her parents and her favorite toys. Little Xuanxuan, with the help of Zhou Ziwen, built a giant castle made of blocks and danced with joy in front of it. (End of this chapter)
