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

The outdoor unit was placed on a stainless steel bracket outside the window. Chen Hao fixed the bracket to the wall with expansion bolts, and after confirming that it was secure, he lifted the outdoor unit up and placed it in place.

When connecting copper pipes and wires, his technique was very professional—tightening the copper pipe joints with a wrench, checking for leaks, draining the air, and opening the valves, all in one smooth motion.

Next are the lights.

The main light in the main room is a simple, round, white LED ceiling light with soft light.

He removed the original lamp holder and fixed the new ceiling light base to the ceiling. When wiring, he clearly distinguished the live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire, and wrapped three layers of insulating tape.

After connecting the wires, put the lampshade on, turn on the switch—the light comes on, and the light shines evenly into the room, not glaring, and very comfortable.

The light in Tingting's room is a pink ceiling light with a cartoon design and a little rabbit on it.

After Chen Hao finished installing it, he turned on the switch, and the pink light came on, turning the whole room into a warm pink hue.

Shen Xiaoting stood at the door, and the moment she saw the light come on, her mouth opened into an "O" shape. Then she exclaimed "Wow!" and ran into the room, looking up at the light.

"Daddy! A little bunny! There's a little bunny on my lamp!"

Do you like it?

"I love it! I love it so much!" Shen Xiaoting happily spun around on the spot.

Chen Hao also installed lights in the kitchen, bathroom, and balcony, as well as several sockets and switches.

He carefully inspected each one to ensure that the wiring was correct, the insulation was good, and the switch worked smoothly.

Chen Bingzhong helped by handing him tools and holding the ladder, and watching his son connect the wires, he couldn't help but say:

"Ah Hao, your wiring skills are even better than Old Zhou, the electrician in our village."

He came to our house last time to fix a socket, and he spent half an hour trying but couldn't get it right. In the end, we had to ask your mom to find someone who knew how.

Chen Hao smiled but didn't reply.

On the eighth day, Chen Hao began making furniture.

This was the part he was most looking forward to.

He had bought the solid wood planks in advance.

North American red oak has beautiful grain, a hard texture, good stability, and is made entirely of natural wood without any glue.

The boards are in individual pieces, each two centimeters thick, with varying widths and a length of two meters and four centimeters.

He wants to turn these boards into furniture, without using a single nail or drop of glue, using only mortise and tenon joints.

Mortise and tenon joints are the essence of traditional Chinese woodworking.

One piece of wood is made into a protruding tenon, and another piece of wood is made into a recessed mortise. The tenon is inserted into the mortise, and they fit together perfectly.

It can be fixed in place without any connectors, and it gets tighter with use, and it won't fall apart for hundreds of years.

Chen Hao first cut the boards according to the dimensions.

He measured the dimensions with a tape measure, drew a line with a chalk line, and then cut along the line with an electric saw.

His cutting is very precise; the dimensional error of each piece of board does not exceed 0.5 millimeters.

After cutting, he began to make the mortise and tenon joints.

He used a wood chisel and hammer to carve mortises into the board—square holes with smooth inner walls and precise dimensions.

Then, use a plane and saw to make the tenon—the raised part, whose shape perfectly matches the mortise.

The tenon is slightly larger than the mortise, so it needs to be tapped gently with a hammer when hammered in. The friction between the tenon and the mortise firmly holds them together.

He first made a large bed—for his bedroom.

The headboard was made of a single piece of red oak, with wood grain undulating like mountains. He sanded it three times with sandpaper, from coarse to fine, until the surface was as smooth as a mirror and felt like silk.

The bed frame is connected by mortise and tenon joints, and the four bed legs are fixed to the bed frame with dovetail tenons. The entire structure does not use a single nail and is as stable as if it were planted on the ground.

Then comes the wardrobe.

The wardrobe body was assembled using mortise and tenon joints, the doors were connected using dovetail joints, and the door handles were made by him from scraps of material, making them smooth and rounded.

The wardrobe is divided into hanging area, folding area and drawers. The size of each shelf has been precisely calculated so that it can fit his clothes perfectly.

Next up is Tingting's room.

He started by making children's beds—the beds are 1.2 meters by 0.6 meters in size, suitable for three-year-old children.

The headboard was made of red oak. He used a jigsaw to cut out the outline of a small rabbit on the board and then sanded it smooth.

The bed rails are higher than those of a regular bed to prevent Tingting from rolling off while sleeping.

The railings are made of individual cylindrical bars, each two centimeters in diameter. He planed each bar round with a plane, then sanded them smooth before assembling them one by one onto the bed frame.

Then there are children's tables and chairs.

The table is at a height that allows Tingting to place her elbows on it when she sits up straight.

He rounded off the four corners of the table to prevent bumps and knocks.

The chair also uses mortise and tenon joints, and the backrest has a curve that fits Tingting's back, making it very comfortable to sit on.

[Ding! Constitution enhancement effect triggered - Constitution +0.1, current Constitution: 15.9.]

He also made a small bookshelf, a small stool, and a toy storage rack.

The bookshelf is a small three-tiered bookshelf, with a height that just reaches Tingting's chest, so she can reach the books by herself.

The stool was a small square stool, which she could stand on to reach things on higher places.

The toy storage rack is open with several compartments where she can put her plush rabbit and various small toys.

Shen Xiaoting sat on the little chair her father had made for her, her little hands touching the tabletop, which was as smooth as glass.

She touched the back of the chair again; its curves fit her back perfectly and felt very comfortable.

She looked down at the four corners of the table—round and smooth, they wouldn't prick her hands.
