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

"Buy flowers! Buy flowers! Looking forward to the streamer's garden!"

"Does the streamer know how to grow flowers? Everything I plant dies, even succulents."

"Same question, streamer, do you even know how to grow flowers? Don't kill them."

"If the streamer can even build a house, planting flowers shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"Growing flowers and building houses are two different things; each has its own expertise."

"I think the anchor is good. He said he couldn't cook, but he made Michelin-level dishes. He said he couldn't do interior design, but he made villa-level dishes."

"Waiting for the streamer to prove him wrong."

Chen Hao didn't reply to the comments. He took his daughter's hand, walked out of the convenience store, and got into the car.

He put his daughter into the child safety seat in the back seat, fastened her seatbelt, then got into the driver's seat and started the car.

The car drove along the village road onto the provincial highway.

Chen Hao glanced at his daughter in the rearview mirror as he drove—

Shen Xiaoting sat in her car seat, hugging a plush rabbit, her little face turned towards the car window, humming an unknown nursery rhyme, her little feet swinging back and forth.

After driving for more than twenty minutes, the car entered the county town.

Chen Hao navigated to the largest flower market in the county town—Hua Jin World.

The market is located in the east of the city and covers a large area. There is a large parking lot at the entrance. After parking the car, Chen Hao took his daughter down and led her into the market.

As soon as she entered, Shen Xiaoting exclaimed "Wow!"

The market was very large, with rows and rows of stalls, each filled with all sorts of flowers—

Red, pink, yellow, purple, white, blue—a dazzling array of colors.

The air was filled with the mixed scents of flowers and earth, and bees buzzed among the blossoms.

Shen Xiaoting let go of her father's hand, ran to the nearest stall, squatted down, stared at a pot of red flowers in front of her for several seconds, then turned her head and asked:

"Dad, what kind of flower is this?"

Chen Hao walked over and glanced at it: "This is a rose. Roses, rose bushes, and wild roses are three different varieties. Rose bushes have the longest flowering period, lasting from spring to autumn."

Shen Xiaoting nodded, then ran to another stall and pointed to a pot of yellow flowers: "What about this one?"

"Chrysanthemums. They bloom in autumn and come in many colors, with yellow being the most common."

"And this one? The purple one!"

"Lavender. It smells wonderful."

Shen Xiaoting leaned in to smell it, then sneezed slightly, rubbed her nose, and smiled: "It smells so good!"

She flitted among the flowers like a little butterfly, stopping to ask her father about any unfamiliar flowers she saw.

Chen Hao followed behind, patiently answering each question.

"Daddy, this one is white, and it has lots of little flowers!"

"Baby's breath. The flowers are small, but there are many of them, like stars in the sky."

"And this one? It's pink, and it's huge!"

"Peony. The king of flowers, very large and beautiful."

"And this one? The red ones, in bunches!"

"A string of red flowers. The flowers grow in clusters, like firecrackers."

Shen Xiaoting asked about more than a dozen potted plants, and Chen Hao named each one correctly, without being stumped by any of them.

Shen Xiaoting became more and more excited as she listened. She ran back to her father's side, looked up at him, and her little face was full of admiration.

"Dad, how do you know the names of so many flowers?"

"Dad learned this before." Chen Hao patted his daughter's head.

The live stream chat exploded when viewers saw this!

"Holy crap, the streamer knows every single flower?"

"Baby's breath, salvia splendens, peony, rose, chrysanthemum, lavender... you got them all right, not a single one wrong."

"There are some flowers that I don't even recognize, but the streamer knows them all."

"The key is that Tingting asks questions very quickly, and the anchor answers very quickly as well, without needing to think at all."

"Are you a botany major, host?"

"Those who were worried the streamer wouldn't know how to grow flowers can shut up now. She knows all the flower names, how could she not know how to grow them?"

Gifts started floating on the screen—

[Gardening enthusiast Afang gave away 2 pairs of sunglasses!]

[A "flower-growing newbie" gave away 5 lollipops!]

[A botany graduate student donated 10 gifts!]

[Received a donation: 2 pairs of sunglasses, and gained 39 popularity points!]

[Received a donation: 5 lollipops, gained 90 popularity points!]

[Received a donation: 10 hearts, gained 20 popularity points!]

Chen Hao held his daughter's hand and strolled from shop to shop.

He didn't rush to buy anything. Instead, he looked through the stalls first and got a general idea of ​​what to buy before taking his daughter to a stall with the most varieties and the most vibrant seedlings.

The stall owner was a woman in her forties with a round face and tanned skin. She was wearing cotton gloves covered in mud and watering the flowers.

Seeing Chen Hao and Tingting approach, she put down the hose, wiped her hands, and asked with a smile, "Boss, buying flowers?"

"Hmm, I'll buy some flower seedlings." Chen Hao squatted down and started looking at the flower seedlings on the stall.

His gaze swept across the seedlings, and his god-level planting skill automatically activated—

[Ding! God-level planting skill triggered - Rose seedling identification: Variety 'Red Dragon', three years old, well-developed root system, main stem diameter 1.2cm, free from pests and diseases, survival rate over 95%.]

[Rating: Excellent.]

[Ding! God-level planting skill triggered - Lavender seedling identification: Variety 'Provence', two years old, good root system, no yellowing leaves, no root rot.]

[Rating: Good+]

[Ding! God-level planting skill triggered - Peony seedling identification: Variety 'Luoyang Red', four-year-old, divided seedling, complete root system, plump buds, no root-knot nematodes.]

[Rating: Excellent.]

After looking at them, he selected more than a dozen varieties.

He picked up a potted rose bush, turned it over to check the drainage hole at the bottom, poked the soil with his finger to feel the moisture, and then said to the stall owner:

"Madam, how much is this potted rose?"

"Fifteen yuan."

"The root system is good, but the soil is a bit compacted; you'll need to repot it when you get back," Chen Hao said.

"The 'Red Dragon' at the very back of your shed is really good, I want that kind."

The stall owner paused for a moment, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Chen Hao changed.

She's been in this business for over a decade and can tell at a glance whether a customer knows what they're doing.

The young man in front of me picked up a seedling and examined its roots, potting soil, and variety with great professionalism. He even recognized the 'Red Dragon' rose that was placed in the most inconspicuous spot at the back.

"Do you run a flower nursery?" she asked tentatively.

"No, we grow them ourselves at home," Chen Hao smiled.

"You grow these yourself, how do you know so much?" The stall owner was skeptical.

"I've done some research."

The stall owner shook his head, turned around and brought out a box of rose seedlings from the shed, unpacked them, and let Chen Hao choose for himself.
