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

After taking a bath, Chen Hao wrapped his daughter in a towel, carried her to her room, helped her put on her pajamas, and placed her on her crib.

"Dad's going to take a shower, he'll be back soon."

"Dad, hurry up!"

Chen Hao quickly took a shower in the bathroom, changed into his pajamas, and returned to his daughter's room.

Shen Xiaoting was still awake, holding the rabbit, her eyes half-open and half-closed.

Chen Hao sat down on the edge of the bed and began to tell a story—

Today's story is about a little carpenter mouse who made all sorts of things for the animals in the forest using wood: swings, rocking horses, little houses...

His voice was low and soft, a divine voice that made every word hypnotic.

Shen Xiaoting fell asleep halfway through the conversation, a faint smile on her lips.

Chen Hao sat by the bed for a while, making sure his daughter was asleep, before gently standing up, turning off the rabbit lamp, closing the door, and returning to his own bedroom.

He lay down on the bed, picked up his phone, and opened the backend of the live streaming platform.

After deducting the points spent on skill exchanges, the remaining usable popularity points are 358383.

Chen Hao put down his phone and turned off the light.

He closed his eyes, and the image of his daughter riding a rocking horse flashed through his mind—

She smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescents, her hair was blown by the wind, and she called out, "Daddy, look!"

He smirked, turned over, and quickly fell asleep.

Chen Hao woke up at 6:30 the next morning.

He went to the kitchen and made breakfast—millet porridge, fried eggs, and steamed sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes were given to me by Meng Meiling yesterday; they were grown in her own field, and they were sweet and sticky.

After preparing breakfast, he went into Tingting's room.

Shen Xiaoting was still asleep, lying on her side. The rabbit had been squeezed into the corner of the bed, and the blanket had been kicked to her feet.

Chen Hao sat down on the edge of the bed and gently patted his daughter's shoulder.

"Tingting, wake up."

Shen Xiaoting stirred, buried her face in the pillow, and mumbled indistinctly, "No... just a little longer..."

"Dad made sweet potato porridge, it's very sweet."

No response.

Chen Hao smiled, leaned down and whispered in his daughter's ear, "Tingting, get up and make the rocking horse. Five orders are waiting to be shipped."

Shen Xiaoting's eyes snapped open.

She sat up in bed, her hair a messy, upright frizz, rubbed her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Making a rocking horse?"

"Yes, make a Trojan horse. We'll make it right after breakfast."

Shen Xiaoting threw off the covers, jumped out of bed, and barefoot on the floor. She grabbed her father's hand and ran to the bathroom, yelling, "Quick, brush your teeth and wash your face! Quick, ride the rocking horse!"

Chen Hao smiled as he picked up his daughter and helped her put on a blue overall.

He bought this garment specifically for when he was doing woodworking, as it is durable and resistant to dirt.

After Shen Xiaoting put it on, she looked like a little carpenter, and she was extremely cute.

She stood on a small stool to brush her teeth and wash her face. After she finished, she made a funny face in the mirror, then ran to the dining table, climbed onto the stool, picked up a spoon, and took a sip of millet porridge.

"Dad, how many rocking horses should we make today?"

Five. Yesterday's orders.

"How can I help you?"

"Tingting helps her dad by handing him wood and tools, and she can also help him sand the wood."

"Okay!" Shen Xiaoting nodded vigorously and ate even faster.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Hao started his live stream.

As soon as the live stream started, viewers flooded in, and the number of viewers instantly exceeded eight thousand.

"It's open! Good morning, host!"

"You're dressed so formally today, what big project are you going to do?"

"Tingting is wearing overalls! So cute! She looks like a little carpenter!"

"The streamer said yesterday that he'd be making a Trojan horse today. Is he going to stream the Trojan horse making process live?"

Chen Hao sent a message using his mind: "Good morning."

Today I made a rocking horse with Tingting, and finished the five orders from yesterday.

"Can't wait! Finally, we'll see how a Trojan horse is made!"

"Tingting needs help? Little Carpenter is here!"

"Slow down, streamer, let me learn how to do it."

Chen Hao carried materials and tools out of the tool room.

Red oak planks, pine square timber, wheels, leather, wood wax oil, wood glue, screws.

There are also saws, planes, chisels, hammers, sandpaper, jigsaws, electric drills, and screwdrivers.

He arranged the items one by one on the worktable in the yard, categorizing them neatly.

Shen Xiaoting stood beside the worktable, looking at the tools and materials with a serious expression on her face.

She picked up a piece of sandpaper, examined it from all angles, and asked, "Dad, is this for sanding wood?"

"Yes, Tingting is so clever. She smoothed the surface of the wood so it wouldn't be prickly to the touch."

Chen Hao first took out a piece of red oak wood, measured its dimensions with a measuring tape, and drew lines with a pencil.

Shen Xiaoting stood to the side, tiptoeing to watch her father draw lines, her little head very close.

"Tingting, step back a little, Daddy's going to saw wood."

Shen Xiaoting took two steps back, squatted down, and looked at her father with her hands supporting her chin.

Chen Hao picked up the jigsaw and began cutting along the drawn lines.

The saw blade moved across the wooden board, making a "buzzing" sound, and sawdust flew out and landed on the ground.

His wrist was steady, and the saw blade followed the curve perfectly, producing smooth and clean edges.

After cutting it, Chen Hao placed the horse carcass rough on the worktable and said to his daughter:

"Tingting, this can be sanded now. Can you use sandpaper to smooth the edges, okay?"

"Okay!" Shen Xiaoting ran over, picked up the sandpaper, squatted down next to the worktable, and began to sand the edge of the horse's body.

She wasn't very strong, but she worked very diligently, rubbing the sandpaper back and forth with her small hands. Every few strokes, she would stop to check how it was going before continuing.

After sanding for a while, she flipped the sandpaper over and continued sanding.

The live stream audience was touched by Tingting's diligent work, and the chat was filled with warmth.

"Tingting is so focused, her little hands are all red from rubbing but she still keeps going."

"This level of concentration is truly remarkable for a three-year-old."

"The anchor is so good at teaching. She lets Tingting do what she can, but doesn't let her touch dangerous tools."

"The little carpenter is online; he'll definitely be a craftsman when he grows up."
