Live Stream: Overly Pampered Education Creates Three Superstars in One Family

I started cooking near the end of the afternoon.

Chen Chu put on an apron and took out the ingredients from the refrigerator.

Just as he was about to make a move, his trouser leg was tugged.

He looked down and saw Chen Xiaoyu looking up at him with bright eyes: "Daddy, I want to help with cooking too."

Chen Chu paused for a moment, then laughed, "Great! My little girl is going to help Daddy cook, come on!"

He moved a small stool over and let Chen Xiayu stand on it in front of the stove. He then put away the knife and replaced it with a special child-safe knife.

"What does the little girl want to do?"

"Tomatoes...scrambled eggs!" Chen Xiayu spoke slowly, but each word was pronounced clearly.

"Okay, then Dad will teach you."

Chen Chu taught her step by step how to wash tomatoes, cut them into pieces, and beat eggs.

Chen Xiayu was very serious, her brows furrowed, as if she were completing a great task.

Heat oil in a wok, add eggs, stir-fry, and serve.

Chen Chu involved her in every step, only watching the process from the sidelines and occasionally reaching out to support her wrist.

"Daddy, should we add salt?"

"Just a tiny bit is enough."

Chen Xiayu picked up the salt shaker, and with a tremor of her little hand, half a shaker of the salt was gone.

Chen Chu's eyelids twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Once the dish is cooked, plate it.

Chen Xiayu looked at her creation with anticipation: "Daddy, have a taste!"

Chen Chu picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

salty.

It's extremely salty.

It was so salty that his temples were throbbing.

But he swallowed it without batting an eye, then revealed a look of surprise: "Wow! The little guy is amazing! He's actually learned to cook by himself! He did a really good job!"

Chen Xiayu's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"However," Chen Chu squatted down, pointed to the plate, "this dish can be even better. Would you like to try it again with Dad?"

Chen Xiayu nodded vigorously: "I want to learn from Daddy!"

Chen Chu put the plate aside and took out two more tomatoes and three eggs.

This time, he oversaw the entire process.

Before adding any seasonings, he would first make Chen Xiayu stop, tell her how much to add, and guide her step by step.

The second batch, after being cooked, was golden in color and had a wonderful aroma.

Chen Chu took a bite and nodded in satisfaction: "Perfect! My daughter is a natural-born chef!"

Chen Xiayu tilted her head back and asked, "Daddy, I want Pigeon to eat!"

"Okay, brother will be home soon."

At 6:30 p.m., Chen Ziran pushed open the door and came in.

He habitually called out, "I'm back," then changed his shoes, looked up, and saw the figure with a small braid on the sofa.

"Um?!"

Chen Ziran was stunned.

Chen Xiayu was sitting on the sofa hugging a cushion. When she saw him return, she immediately stood up and whispered, "Gege..."

Chen Ziran's expression lit up instantly.

He almost lunged at it, but a glance at the camera next to him stopped him from driving.

He straightened his face, trying to appear calm, and cleared his throat: "Ahem... My sister's back, that's good news."

His tone was very serious.

But the joy in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Chen Chu came out of the kitchen carrying a dish, suppressing a laugh: "My sister specially made scrambled eggs with tomatoes for you, come and try it."

"Oh? Really?" Chen Ziran tried her best to remain composed, slowly walked to the dining table and sat down. "Then I'll try it."

He picked up a piece of egg and put it in his mouth.

He chewed twice, then his expression froze.

It's extremely salty.

He looked at Chen Chu, his eyes filled with pleading for help.

Chen Chu looked at him with a smile: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Chen Ziran swallowed with difficulty, forcing a smile: "Delicious!"

"Okay, then eat more." Chen Chu pointed to the plate next to him, "There's another plate here."

Chen Ziran hesitated for a moment, then picked up an egg from the second plate and put it in his mouth.

His eyes lit up.

"Hey! This one tastes even better!"

He immediately placed a piece of food on his sister's plate: "Sister, you should eat too."

Chen Xiayu obediently opened her mouth, chewed, and nodded: "Delicious!"

"Thank you, Gege!"

Chen Ziran pursed his lips, trying hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and said with a straight face, "You're welcome."

But when he lowered his head to eat, he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth from spitting out his food.

After finishing his meal, Chen Ziran immediately went to his room.

He closed the door and buried his face in the pillow.

"Hehehehe..."

He rolled around on the bed twice, clutching his pillow, his voice low but barely audible: "My sister made this meal for me..."

Hey Hey……

It was made especially for me…

In the living room, Chen Chu tidied up the dishes and squatted down in front of Chen Xiayu.

"Brother is very happy."

Chen Xiayu pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling, and didn't say anything, just chuckled "hehehehe".

The live chat exploded.

My sister's smile is so healing! It melts my heart!

[The sound of Chen Ziran's "hehehehe" just now was picked up completely; it cracked me up.]

[On the surface: Serious. Inwardly: Hehehehe... my sister cooked for me!]

[A prime example of someone who says one thing but does another.]

Am I the only one who noticed Chen Chu's parenting style? He didn't just blindly praise her; the first time he made it too salty, he made it again with his sister.

[Yes! Praise, correction, and guidance—all done in one smooth motion.]

Everyone else wants a guiding partner, but I just want a guiding parent.

Actually, my parents are very good to me, and I know they are good to me, but they have never praised me.

Me too... I got second place in the grade. My dad only asks me why I didn't get first place, which isn't wrong, he works very hard too, but I also hope he'll praise me...

……

Screen switch.

Xu Zi'ang's home.

Today is Xu Danian's birthday.

Xu Ziang came home early from school, but instead of going straight home, he took a detour to Domino's.

He saved up his allowance for two weeks and gritted his teeth to order a whole pizza.

He carried the pizza box home, placed it on the table, and eagerly awaited his father's expression when he returned.

The door lock clicked.

Xu Danian pushed open the door and came in, his face showing the exhaustion of the day.

When he was changing his shoes, he saw the pizza box on the table.

"What is this?"

"Dad, I bought the pizza. It's on me today," Xu Ziang said with a smile.

Xu Danian's face immediately darkened.

He stared at the pizza box, his voice barely audible, "How much did you pay?"

"Five...fifty."

"Fifty dollars for just one pancake?"

Xu Ziang opened his mouth: "Dad, this is pizza..."

"Don't I recognize this as a pizza?"

Xu Danian's voice suddenly rose, "I work myself to the bone all day, how much do I earn? And you, you buy a pancake for fifty yuan and don't even blink an eye!"

The mother peeked out from behind and saw the pizza box on the table. Her expression was a mixture of heartache and anger: "Zi'ang, we work ourselves to the bone outside, and you spend so much money just to buy a pizza? Your dad works so hard every day, and you still upset him like this."

"I……"

"Is the food at home not good?" Xu Danian said coldly. "If you hate the food at home so much, then go eat out by yourself."

He pulled out a hundred yuan from his pocket and forcefully stuffed it into Xu Ziang's hand.

"Go ahead, if you don't respect this family, go eat out yourself!"

"Dad, that's not what I meant..."

"It's okay, it's alright, we don't mind."

Xu Danian's voice carried a hint of sarcasm, "Your mother and I only deserve to eat some plain white flour buns, not as good as you, a rich young master. How can a rich young master who costs fifty yuan a pizza look down on our simple meals?"

Xu Ziang clutched the hundred-yuan note, opened his mouth, and wanted to say, "Dad, today is your birthday, I just wanted to make you happy."

But he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

Those words stuck in my throat, like a wad of cotton, soaked with water, hanging heavily.

In the end, he could only manage to utter three words: "I'm sorry."

"Heh," Xu Danian sneered, "Sorry? What have you done to wrong us? You're a phoenix, a phoenix that flew out of a doghouse. We're the ones who dragged you down, we're the ones who should be apologizing to you."

Xu Ziang lowered his head, the money in his hand crumpled in his fist.

He didn't know what he had done wrong.

He just wanted to celebrate his father's birthday.

Why is it that in the end, he's the one who's wrong?

The atmosphere in the live chat visibly changed.
