Xu Yan had been married to Wang Hao for two years and became pregnant for the second time at the same time as his sister-in-law Chen Qian. The mother-in-law's bowl of water was uneven. Xu Yan, as a Chinese language teacher in the third year of high school, got up at six o'clock every day to prepare lessons and correct homework. During morning sickness, he could only squat in the toilet while retching while silently reciting passages from "Li Sao". Chen Qian quit her job the day she found out she was pregnant. She distributed pictures of pregnancy test kits to her family every day, demanding that her mother-in-law take care of her throughout the process. Wang Hao is a programmer who is not good at words but has amazing actions. He bought pregnancy insurance for his wife overnight and called his biological mother with only one sentence: "Xu Yan can carry it, but you can't let her carry it just because she can." This sentence left his mother-in-law speechless. Xu Yan did not blame others, but transformed the balcony into a small study, planted pothos and mint, and prepared lessons and read poems for his unborn child. She helped Chen Qian find a job, taught her interview skills, and turned her sister-in-law who tried to step on her into a true friend. When Xu Yan was thirty years old, she got the qualification to study abroad. Her mother-in-law called her "daughter" with red eyes. Wang Hao stood at the airport with his arms in his arms and said, "I'm at home." A gentle but powerful story about propriety, decency and self-sufficiency.
