After their farewell dinner, Su Chen led Yan Bingxue and their two treasures back to his home.
It was already late. As soon as Tuantuan and Lele entered the house, they took out their schoolbags.
"Brother, have you decided what you're going to do for your homework?" Tuantuan sat on the carpet, leaning her little head close to Lele.
Lele nodded. "Mhm, I've already figured it out~"
Tuantuan gasped. Her round little face managed to squeeze out a chubby double chin, and her small mouth pouted, "Wuwu~ Tuantuan hasn't figured it out yet~"
"What is Brother going to make?" Tuantuan asked.
Lele smiled mysteriously at her, blinking. "I won't tell you yet~ I'll show you when I'm done~"
Tuantuan pouted, her cheeks puffed out. "Hmph~ You're being all mysterious with me~"
"You should hurry and think about what you're going to do~" Lele reminded her.
Tuantuan hugged her head with both hands, her soft white little fingers gently twirling her hair. Her cute little face assumed a thoughtful expression.
But this was too difficult~ Wuwu~
"Daddy~" Tuantuan called out, looking up.
"What is it, Tuantuan?" Su Chen immediately put down the water cup in his hand and strode over to his daughter.
"Ding... Host's first time tutoring baby's homework. Sign in next to the handicraft homework, rewarding the host with Perfect Score Handicraft Skill and Calligraphy and Painting Master Skill."
"Holy cow! The sign-in system is back. This time it's handicraft and calligraphy and painting. Not bad, not bad!"
To be a qualified good dad, of course, he had to be able to help with the kids' homework!
Kindergarten homework basically consisted of handicrafts and simple drawing and writing. The skills rewarded by the system were a lifesaver!
"Does the host wish to activate the rewarded skills now?"
"Activate."
Almost instantly, Su Chen clearly felt his fingers become more slender and flexible. And as far as his eyes could see, the oil painting hanging on the wall, the calligraphy of "Home and Everything Prospering" in the dining room – these things hadn't seemed particularly good before, but they weren't ugly either. But now, looking at them, they were just so... ordinary!
He'd find time later to write and paint himself, to elevate the cultural sophistication of his home by a few notches~
"Tuantuan, what handicraft homework do you need to complete? Let Dad see~ Dad will do it with you."
Yan Bingxue, who was processing emails on her laptop, found her attention drawn to Su Chen from time to time. Seeing him about to work on the handicraft homework with Tuantuan and Lele, she couldn't help but smile.
This scene was so heartwarming~
She turned back to her work, feeling energized. As Ms. Shuyun had said, starting a family before establishing a career wasn't impossible, because family truly could bring great strength.
Tuantuan tilted her little head, rubbing against Su Chen's arm affectionately. "Daddy~ The teacher asked us to make a handicraft ourselves. The theme is a simple little toy, and then we'll share it with other children tomorrow."
"Gege said he's already decided what he's going to make, but Tuantuan hasn't decided yet. Daddy~ Please help Tuantuan~ Tuantuan can't think of anything~"
The little girl didn't seem very enthusiastic about doing homework, cooing and fiddling with Su Chen's watch.
Su Chen felt that she wasn't unable to think of something, she simply didn't want to use her brain to think about it~
This wouldn't do!
"Tuantuan, this is the teacher's assignment for you, not for Dad. Your brother thought of it himself. Dad can help you make it, but you need to decide what to make yourself."
Even though his daughter was only in kindergarten now, the habit of taking her studies seriously had to start from a young age.
Otherwise, he'd end up like those parents online who were driven crazy by helping their kids with homework, going mad every night.
Tuantuan looked up, her lips pouting slightly, clearly unhappy. But seeing her father's serious expression, she immediately put on a serious face.
"Then Tuantuan wants to make a little bunny~"
"Tuantuan super loves bunnies~"
"Daddy, can you help Tuantuan make a little bunny~ Please?"
Tuantuan lifted her little face, revealing a row of small white teeth. Every part of the little one was a miniature version, except for her eyes, which were born large and bright, with long, curled eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a small, dancing butterfly.
Such a cute little darling acting spoiled, even a tough guy couldn't resist!
Su Chen finally understood the joy of being a "daughter's slave"~
"Okay~ Then Dad will help Tuantuan make a cute little bunny toy~"
"Yay~ Daddy is the best~"
The little one jumped up happily, clapping her hands and dancing around Su Chen and Lele.
"Hahahaha~ Daddy is going to help me make a bunny toy~"
"Tuantuan knows what she's going to do now too~ Tuantuan is going to make a bunny toy with Daddy~ Hehehe~"
Lele had already taken out paper and was about to start his own handicraft homework. Seeing Su Chen approach, he froze, not daring to move.
Now that Su Chen was going to help Tuantuan with her handicraft homework too, Lele suddenly felt that the little toy in his mind had instantly lost its original charm.
What was the point of making a toy by himself?
"Lele, what do you want to make?" Su Chen asked.
Lele's body stiffened, and his back straightened instantly. "I can do it myself."
After he finished speaking, he started to get to work.
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, then he and Tuantuan also started to get to work.
"Tuantuan, Daddy will make you a little rabbit that can play hide-and-seek~"
"En en~"
Lele: What little rabbit can play hide-and-seek? It's definitely just for show, hmph~
Su Chen took out a paper cup, then went to the refrigerator to get three straws. He taped one end of the straws together, and poked holes in the cup's sides and bottom.
After doing all that, he took out paper and drew a large circle and three small circles, along with two long ears.
"Tuantuan, can you help Daddy cut this out?"
Tuantuan happily nodded and took the craft scissors to start cutting. She was very careful and meticulous, carefully following the shapes her dad drew.
After she cut out the shapes, Su Chen drew a pair of big, bright eyes and a small mouth on the large circle, then used a red pen to add two little rosy cheeks. Next, he colored the ears and the center of the small circles pink.
Then, Su Chen attached the ears to the large circle, then attached it above the three straws. He cut the side straws shorter to make the rabbit's little hands, and threaded the bottom straw through the hole in the blanket. The handicraft was complete.
Su Chen held the little toy he made and smiled mysteriously, "Tuantuan, watch closely, the little bunny is going to play hide-and-seek with you~"
He gently pulled the bottom straw, and the little rabbit's head on top hid inside the blanket, its hands also raised.
When he let go, the bunny's little face reappeared.
Tuantuan watched intently and clapped her hands happily, "Wow~ Daddy is so amazing~ You really made a little rabbit that can play hide-and-seek~"
"Daddy~ Tuantuan really likes the toy you made~"
"Tuantuan also really likes Daddy~"
The little one suddenly jumped into Su Chen's arms, hugging his neck and giving him a loud kiss.
Su Chen was overjoyed and handed the little toy to his daughter, "Tuantuan, try playing hide-and-seek with the little rabbit yourself~"
"En en~" Tuantuan took the toy and happily started playing with it.
Playing by herself wasn't enough, so she took it to Lele, "Hehe, look quickly, the bunny Daddy made can really play hide-and-seek~"
Lele had actually seen it just now and was very surprised.
He hadn't expected his dad could actually make a bunny that could play hide-and-seek. He... was really amazing~
However, Lele wouldn't say that out loud. He turned his head and said proudly, "What's so fun about that~ I don't like bunnies, I want to make a Little Bull Roly-Poly~"
Tuantuan's attempt to show off wasn't successful, so she scurried over to Yan Bingxue and showed her the hide-and-seek bunny.
Yan Bingxue looked at the little creation, a faint smile appearing on her face. She glanced gently at Su Chen and said, "En~ this bunny is very cute. Tuantuan's friends will definitely like it tomorrow."
"Daddy and Tuantuan's handicrafts are very impressive~"
Upon hearing this, Lele quickly finished his own creation.
He couldn't be outdone by Su Chen in front of their mom, hmph~
The little one wanted to make a Little Bull Roly-Poly. It was his own idea, and although simple, it was interesting.
It could be completed with a bottle cap and some paper cutouts.
He cut out the shape of a little bull, with a large circle on top for the head and small ears, and a smaller circle below for the bull's belly, which was the size of the bottle cap.
The little bull he drew wasn't as lifelike as the bunny, but it was very cute with a child's touch~
He stuck the bull's belly onto the bottle cap and put a ball of clay inside the cap. According to his idea, this would prevent the bottle cap from falling over, and a gentle shake would turn it into a roly-poly.
But after he finished and tried it, he found that the roly-poly immediately fell over.
Lele frowned and mumbled, "Why did it fall over?"
The little one was confused and tried a few more times, but the result was the same.
Su Chen had been watching for a while and immediately saw the problem. He said unhurriedly, "Lele, do you believe that if Dad just moves it a little, your roly-poly will be able to stand up?"
