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

Chen Hao squatted down and examined each pot one by one. He gently parted the leaves with his fingers to check for insect eggs on the back of the leaves, pinched the soil to check its moisture level, and lifted the pot to check if the roots had grown out.

"This pot, this pot, this pot, and these three pots." He picked out six pots of 'Red Dragon' roses, all of which had the most developed root systems, the thickest branches, and the fullest buds.

The stall owner, watching from the side, couldn't help but sigh:

"Young man, you're better at picking things than I am. I never checked the goods as carefully as you when I was buying them."

Shen Xiaoting stood to the side, and when she heard the stall owner praising her father, a proud smile immediately appeared on her little face.

She tugged at the stall owner's sleeve, tilted her head back, and said, "Auntie, my dad can do everything! He can build houses, make furniture, cook, and even treat illnesses!"

The stall owner looked down at the little girl with pigtails and smiled, "Really? Your dad's that amazing?"

"Yes!" Shen Xiaoting nodded vigorously. "He's the best!"

The stall owner smiled and looked at Chen Hao: "Your daughter is so cute."

Chen Hao smiled and continued picking flowers.

He then selected lavender, peony, baby's breath, salvia splendens, chrysanthemum, gardenia, jasmine, and osmanthus.

Bougainvillea, hydrangea, sunflower, impatiens, morning glory, more than a dozen kinds in total, with three to five pots of each kind.

During the flower selection process, he carefully examined each pot he picked up, eliminating those with poor root systems, pests and diseases, or weak growth.

The stall owner had been in business for so many years and this was the first time she had encountered such a picky customer. But she wasn't angry; instead, she was completely impressed by Chen Hao's professionalism.

The live stream chat exploded with comments as viewers watched Chen Hao embroidering flowers.

"Is the streamer picking flowers or performing surgery? He's examining each plant so closely."

"Checking the roots by turning over the pot, looking for insect eggs by prying off the leaves, and checking the moisture by squeezing the soil – these are the procedures of a professional flower grower."

"The key is that even the stall owners were impressed by him, saying that he was better at picking out items than they were."

"Tingting is so cute, she praises her dad to everyone she meets."

"The anchor is truly an all-rounder; I now suspect he could even build rockets."

Gifts started floating on the screen—

After selecting the flower seedlings, Chen Hao asked the stall owner to calculate the total price.

Six pots of roses cost 90 yuan, four pots of lavender cost 60 yuan, three pots of peonies cost 120 yuan, and five pots of baby's breath cost 40 yuan.

Five pots of Salvia splendens cost thirty yuan, four pots of chrysanthemums cost forty yuan, three pots of gardenias cost forty-five yuan, and three pots of jasmine cost forty-five yuan.

Two pots of osmanthus cost seventy yuan, two pots of bougainvillea cost fifty yuan, three pots of hydrangea cost sixty yuan, and a box of sunflowers cost thirty yuan.

A box of balsam flowers costs 25 yuan, a box of morning glories costs 20 yuan... a total of 925 yuan.

"Make it cheaper," Chen Hao said.

"The lowest price is 880, no lower."

"Okay." Chen Hao took out his phone, paid, and left his address.

"Fengshuping Village, near the Chen family's house. Could you deliver this to me?"

"Okay." The stall owner nodded.

Chen Hao led his daughter out of the flower market, got into the car, and drove to their next destination—the largest seed market in the county.

The seed market is located in the west of the city, separated from the flower market by the entire county.

After driving for about fifteen minutes, the car stopped in the seed market parking lot.

Chen Hao picked up his daughter, took her hand, and walked into the market.

The seed market is quieter than the flower market, with less floral fragrance and instead the smell of dry grains.

Rows of stalls were filled with all kinds of seeds—

Vegetable seeds, flower seeds, grain seeds, and pasture seeds are packaged in transparent bags, with the variety name and planting instructions printed on the bags.

Shen Xiaoting looked at the colorful seed bags with curiosity, glancing around curiously.

She crouched down and pointed to a bag of red seeds: "Daddy, what's this?"

Chen Hao picked it up and looked at it: "Red beans. They can be used to make porridge or red bean buns."

"What about this one? The green one?"

"Mung beans. In summer, boil mung bean soup to cool you down."

"What about this one? Round and black?"

Black beans. They're very nutritious and can be used to make soy milk.

For each question Shen Xiaoting asked, Chen Hao would give an answer.

She not only asked, but also remembered—

When they reached the next stall, she pointed to another bag of red beans and said, "Daddy, these are red beans for making porridge!"

Chen Hao smiled: "Yes, Tingting remembered."

Viewers in the live stream were moved to tears as they watched Tingting identify the seeds, prompting a flood of heartwarming comments in the chat.

"Tingting is so smart, she remembered it after Daddy said it only once."

"The key is that the broadcaster teaches well, explaining each one clearly and simply so that children can understand."

"Tingting will definitely be an agricultural expert when she grows up."

"No, he's an all-around expert, just like Dad."

Chen Hao led his daughter to a stall that had the most complete selection of seed varieties.

The stall owner was a man in his fifties, wearing a straw hat, and was tidying up the shelves.

Seeing Chen Hao approach, he put down the bag of seeds he was carrying and asked, "Boss, what would you like to order?"

"Vegetable seeds and seedlings. I want tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, peppers, eggplants, and green beans."

Water spinach, amaranth, lettuce, romaine lettuce, spinach, celery, radish, carrot, potato, onion, garlic, ginger.

The stall owner was taken aback after hearing this long string of words: "You want so many vegetable seeds at once?"

"We grow our own food," Chen Hao said.

The stall owner nodded slightly, turned around and took the packets of seeds Chen Hao wanted from the shelf one by one, placing them on the counter.

Chen Hao picked up each packet of seeds and carefully examined the production date, variety name, and germination rate on the packaging.

Then he opened the packaging, poured the seeds into his palm, gently rubbed them between his fingers, and looked closely at the color, size, and plumpness of the seeds, and then smelled them.
