A Billionaire CEO Brings His Child Home: The Awakening of the Stay-at-Home Dad System

It was already afternoon when Chen Hao finished laying the floor tiles.

He stood up and looked at the floor of the entire main room—

The light gray antique-style bricks are laid neatly with straight gaps and a smooth surface that gleams softly in the sunlight.

He nodded in satisfaction.

On the sixth day, Chen Hao began building the septic tank and toilet.

The septic tank was located on a vacant lot to the side of the old house, not far from the kitchen and bathroom, making it convenient for pipe connections.

He used lime powder to mark the area to be excavated on the ground—two meters long, one and a half meters wide, and one and a half meters deep.

Then I picked up a shovel and started digging.

His physical strength has been enhanced over the past few days, making him nearly half again as strong as an average person.

The shovel seemed weightless in his hands. With one shovelful, he would fill it with soil, toss it aside, then shovel again, toss it again, his rhythm both fast and steady.

In less than an hour, a pit that was two meters long, one and a half meters wide, and one and a half meters deep was dug.

Chen Bingzhong watched his son digging the hole at a rapid pace, his mouth agape.

He had dug pits when he was young and knew how tiring the work was.

His son dug a pit two meters long and one and a half meters deep all by himself in an hour, without even taking a breath.

"Ah Hao, take a break," he couldn't help but say.

"Not tired." Chen Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, jumped into the pit, and began to use a shovel to repair the pit walls and bottom, leveling the uneven areas and tamping down the loose soil.

After repairing the foundation pit, he began to build the septic tank.

He used cement bricks, measuring 390×190×190 mm, which are several times larger than ordinary red bricks, making them quick to install.

He applied cement mortar to the sides and bottom of the bricks and laid them on one by one, using a spirit level to ensure that each brick was vertical and horizontal.

After the wall was built, he smoothed the inner wall with cement mortar to prevent leakage.

Then cover it with a precast concrete cover slab, leaving an opening for cleaning and inspection.

The entire septic tank was now complete.

Next up is the bathroom.

The bathroom was located on the first floor of the old house, in a small room that used to be used for storing miscellaneous items, about four square meters in size.

Chen Hao first drew lines on the ground to mark the locations of the dry and wet areas.

Place the sink and toilet in the dry area, and the shower and bathtub in the wet area.

He built a half-wall with bricks between the wet and dry areas, with a glass partition to be installed on top to separate the wet and dry areas.

The half-wall was built quickly, brick by brick, cement mortar was applied, and a level was used to ensure it was perfectly straight.

Next, the bathroom floor and wall tiles are laid.

The floor tiles are small, non-slip tiles, 300×300 in gray; the wall tiles are white, glossy tiles, 300×600.

He first drew lines on the wall to determine the layout of the tiles, and then used tile adhesive to stick the wall tiles one by one.

His technique was very professional—he applied serrated adhesive to the back of the tiles, stuck them to the wall, tapped them firmly with a rubber mallet, checked them with a level, and used cross clamps to control the gaps between each tile to ensure they were the same size.

After the wall tiles are laid, the floor tiles are laid.

Floor tiles need to be sloped – the drain should be at the lowest point to ensure smooth drainage.

He carefully calibrated the floor tiles with a spirit level and a slope gauge to ensure that each tile was tilted towards the drain, but with such a slight tilt that it was almost imperceptible and that walking on it would not feel crooked.

After laying the tiles, Chen Hao began installing the bathroom fixtures.

The toilet is a siphon type, which flushes quietly and saves water.

He placed the toilet in place, aligned it with a level, applied silicone sealant to the bottom of the toilet to secure it, and then connected the water pipe.

The washbasin is an undermount basin, embedded in a custom-made solid wood countertop, with cabinets underneath for storage.

The faucet is a pull-out type, which is very convenient for washing hair or cleaning the countertop.

Then there's the bathtub.

The bathtub is freestanding, white enamel, and placed against the wall in the wet area.

He first connected the drain pipe of the bathtub, then moved the bathtub into place, used a spirit level to calibrate it, and applied glue to the bottom to secure it.

After the bathtub was installed, he filled it with water to test it—the drainage was smooth and there were no leaks.

Finally, there are solar water heaters.

The water heater is installed on the roof with the heat collection pipes facing due south at a calculated angle to maximize solar energy absorption.

He fixed the bracket to the concrete foundation of the roof, installed the water heater tank and collector pipes, and then ran the water pipes down from the roof to the bathroom and kitchen.

Shen Xiaoting stood at the bathroom door, looking at the brand new bathroom—

White wall tiles, gray floor tiles, a bright toilet, a beautiful washbasin, and a large bathtub.

Her eyes shone like two stars.

"Dad! Will we be taking baths here from now on?"

"right."

"So beautiful!"

Shen Xiaoting excitedly ran inside, touched the edge of the bathtub, and then turned on the faucet to test the water. Cool water flowed out, and she quickly withdrew her hand, giggling.

Chen Bingzhong stood behind, looking at the restroom. His expression was no longer one of surprise, but a complex mix of pride and disbelief.

His son was a coder just six days ago, and now he can even build septic tanks.

"Ah Hao, your bathroom is even better than those in city hotels," he said.

Chen Hao smiled and tidied up his tools.

On the seventh day, Chen Hao began installing the household appliances.

He had ordered two air conditioners online in advance.

One air conditioner was placed in the main room, and another in his bedroom.

He first drilled holes in the wall to pass the air conditioning pipes through, then fixed the indoor unit's mounting plate to the wall and used a level to calibrate it.

After the mounting plate was installed, he hung the indoor unit on it, and it clicked into place.

Next is the outdoor unit.
