After this night full of warmth and joy, Yueyue and Xuanxuan fell asleep contentedly.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi looked at the children's sleeping faces, gently covered them with quilts, and then returned to the living room to pick up the building blocks and paintbrushes scattered on the floor.
Under the soft light, the two figures are intertwined, and every move reveals tacit understanding and warmth.
After cleaning up the living room, Chen Qiao leaned on Zhou Ziwen's arms and said softly, "The children are really happy today. Look at the pictures they drew and the building blocks they built. Everything is full of imagination."
Zhou Ziwen nodded, gently stroked Chen Qiaoyi's hair and said, "Yes, watching them grow up little by little, I feel that all the hard work is worth it. In the future, we should spend more time doing these interesting things with them."
The two chatted for a while before getting up and going back to their room to rest. Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the quiet street, as if covering the whole world with a layer of dreamy gauze.
The next morning, the sunlight shone into the room through the window as usual.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters woke up to the sound of birds singing, and a new day began.
Chen Qiaoyi stretched sleepily and looked at little Ruiqi beside her. The little guy was still sleeping soundly, with a slight blush on his pink face in the sunlight.
Chen Qiaoyi gently kissed little Ruiqi on the forehead, fearing to disturb her.
At this time, Zhou Ziwen next to him also slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Chen Qiaoyi's gentle appearance, his heart full of love, and reached out his hand to gently hug her waist.
"Good morning, Qiaoyi." Zhou Ziwen said softly, his voice still a little hoarse from waking up in the morning.
"Good morning." Chen Qiaoyi turned her head and responded with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and affection.
The two of them snuggled in bed for a while, and then they heard the playful sounds of Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan coming from the next room.
Zhou Ziwen smiled helplessly: "These two little guys are so energetic every day."
As he said this, he got up, dressed, and prepared to go see the children.
Chen Qiaoyi was looking after the children in the house, while Chen Shiying got dressed, got up and busied herself with cooking for everyone.
Shen Zhaodi in the next room also got up and worked in the kitchen with Chen Shiying.
Zhou Ziwen walked into Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan's room and saw the two children sitting on the bed playing with the puzzle that they had not finished yesterday.
When they saw their dad coming in, they shouted excitedly, "Dad, look, we're almost done with this big castle!"
Zhou Ziwen walked to the bedside, sat between them, looked at the puzzle carefully, and praised: "Wow, babies are so amazing, such a complicated puzzle is almost finished!"
Little Yueyue's eyes sparkled as she asked expectantly, "Dad, after we finish building this castle, can you tell us a story about it?"
Xiao Xuanxuan also echoed: "Yes, yes, I want to hear a story about knights and princesses!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded in agreement: "Of course, when you finish building it, Dad will tell you a super exciting castle story."
After receiving a positive answer, the two children worked harder. They fiddled with the puzzle pieces with their little fingers and kept muttering to themselves which piece to put where.
Zhou Ziwen watched patiently from the side, occasionally giving little hints to help the children complete the puzzle smoothly.
After a while, with the joint efforts of the father and his two sons, the puzzle was finally completed.
A colorful and exquisitely shaped castle appeared before their eyes, and Yueyue and Xuanxuan clapped their hands excitedly.
"Dad, tell me a story!" Little Yueyue pulled Zhou Ziwen's arm and said coquettishly.
Zhou Ziwen cleared his throat and began to tell the story: "A long time ago, there was a beautiful castle like the one we built. In the castle lived a kind and beautiful princess. One day, the castle was surrounded by dark forces. To protect the princess, a brave knight embarked on a difficult journey..."
The children were fascinated by the story, staring at Zhou Ziwen without blinking, immersed in the wonderful story.
At this time, Chen Shiying shouted from the kitchen: "It's time to eat, everyone come quickly!"
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan finally came to their senses, jumped off the bed reluctantly, and walked towards the restaurant holding Zhou Ziwen's hand.
On the dining table, Chen Zhaodi served a steaming hot breakfast, including golden fried eggs, crispy fried dough sticks, nutritious milk, and some snacks she made herself.
When Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan saw such a sumptuous breakfast, their appetites immediately increased.
Xiao Xuanxuan picked up a fried dough stick, took a big bite, and said incoherently, "Wow, it smells so good! Aunt Zhaodi's cooking is the best!"
Shen Zhaodi smiled and touched his head: "If you like it, eat more and grow up quickly."
The family sat around the dining table, eating breakfast and sharing interesting stories.
When Chen Qiaoyi talked about how little Ruiqi giggled in her sleep last night, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Ziwen shared the puzzle results of Yueyue and Xuanxuan with everyone, and Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi praised the children for their intelligence.
Chen Shiying smiled and said, "Ziwen, your story is so wonderful, the children are fascinated by it.
We can also make up more stories in the future to enrich children’s imagination.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said with a smile, "What a great idea! We can make up stories together and let the children learn in a fun way."
Shen Zhaodi also interjected, "Yes, the children are so young, listening to more interesting stories will definitely be beneficial to their future studies."
Chen Qiaoyi looked at the children tenderly and said, "Yes, we must not only let them grow up happily, but also let them learn more knowledge."
After breakfast, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying began to clean up the dishes, while Zhou Ziwen brought Yueyue and Xuanxuan to the living room to continue their parent-child time.
Little Yueyue said excitedly: "Dad, what else can we play today?"
Zhou Ziwen thought for a moment and said, "We can go to the yard to plant flowers today. Do you like it?"
Xiao Xuanxuan clapped his hands and cheered: "I like it! I like planting flowers!"
Chen Qiaoyi poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "This is a good idea. It allows children to get close to nature and learn about plant growth."
So Zhou Ziwen took the children to the yard, took out some flower seeds and tools, and began to teach them how to plant flowers.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan listened carefully and followed their father to dig the soil, sow seeds and water the plants.
Although their movements were still a little clumsy, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were busy in the kitchen, preparing lunch.
From time to time, they looked through the window at the father and his two sons in the yard, their faces full of happy smiles.
Chen Shiying said with emotion: "Qiaoyi, seeing the children so happy, I am really grateful to Ziwen. He is not only a good husband, but also a good father."
Chen Qiaoyi smiled and nodded. "Yes, he always comes up with so many interesting things to make the children's childhood full of joy." (End of this chapter)
