He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

Finally, sear the steak.

Heat a skillet, add a small piece of butter, and once melted, add the steak.

The sizzling sound and rich aroma of meat immediately filled the air.

He precisely controlled the time and heat according to the thickness of the steak and the desired doneness (he planned to cook it well-done but as tender as possible for his daughter), flipping it at the right time.

After searing, place the steak on a preheated plate and let it sit to allow the juices to flow back into the meat.

[Ding! Cooking step completed (pan-frying steak), cooking experience +28.]

While he was at it, he took out the steamed shrimp and egg custard, drizzled it with a little soy sauce and sesame oil, and sprinkled it with chopped green onions.

The pale yellow steamed egg custard was as smooth as a mirror, with pink shrimp dotting the surface, making it look incredibly tempting.

Then, using the bottom of the pan from frying the steak, I made a simple black pepper sauce and poured it over the sliced ​​steak.

Finally, I chopped the strawberries, blueberries, and oranges into pieces and arranged them into a simple fruit platter.

Chen Hao felt as if his hands and senses were being enhanced once again.

Looking at the dishes in front of him, he can automatically analyze in his mind where things can be improved, and he can even imagine how the taste would change if a certain seasoning or cooking time were changed.

This kind of control is fascinating.

【Ding! 】

[System notification: The host is preparing a proper meal for his daughter for the first time, fulfilling his duties as a stay-at-home dad.]

[Reward Distribution: Life Skills - God-level Drawing Skills (Beginner Level)]

Basic knowledge of sketching, color theory, and composition has been introduced.

Drawing skills? Chen Hao was taken aback, then smiled.

That's good, now I can teach my daughter to draw.

"Sisi, wash your hands and eat!" Chen Hao called out as he placed the dishes one by one on the spacious dining table.

"Coming!" Lin Sisi put down the paper in her hand and obediently ran to the sink.

She was too short to reach it, but Chen Hao had already noticed that there was a cute footstool next to her.

Lin Sisi stepped on the tap, turned it on herself, squeezed out some children's hand soap, lathered it up, and carefully washed her little hands.

Chen Hao looked at him and nodded in approval; the child's basic habits were quite good.

After washing her hands, Lin Sisi climbed into the high chair with the child seat.

Chen Hao placed a small children's bowl and a pair of practice chopsticks in front of her.

"Sisi, let's eat." Chen Hao served her a small bowl of rice, and then put some steamed egg with shrimp, small pieces of steak, and broccoli into her bowl.

Lin Sisi looked at the food in her bowl, then at her chopsticks, but didn't touch it.

She looked up at Chen Hao with pleading eyes: "Daddy, feed me."

Chen Hao was taken aback: "Sisi eats by herself. Look, Daddy eats by himself too."

He demonstrated how to pick up food with chopsticks.

"But... Aunt Wang used to feed me," Lin Sisi said softly, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Sometimes my mother feeds me when she's home."

Chen Hao understood.

Children who are over-cared for may have weak self-care abilities.

This doesn't work.

He put down his chopsticks, sat down next to his daughter, and spoke in a gentle but firm tone:

"Sisi, listen to what your father has to say. You are already over three years old, a big girl now."

Older children need to learn to eat by themselves. Look at the other children in kindergarten, don't they all eat by themselves?

Lin Sisi thought for a moment and nodded: "Hmm...it seems so."

"Yes. From now on, Sisi will have to eat by herself. It's okay if you can't, Daddy will teach you, okay?"

Chen Hao picked up the pair of children's practice chopsticks, which had finger rings and auxiliary mechanisms, making them suitable for beginners.

"Come on, Daddy will show you how to take it..."

He was very patient, teaching his daughter how to hold chopsticks, how to use force, and how to pick up food.

Lin Sisi studied very hard. Although she was clumsy at first and kept dropping the food she picked up, Chen Hao kept encouraging her.

"Yes, like that, gently apply force with your wrist... It's okay if it falls, let's try again... Sisi, you're great, you picked it up this time!"

After several attempts, Lin Sisi finally managed to pick up a small piece of meat with trembling hands and successfully put it into her mouth.

"Daddy! I ate it myself!" she exclaimed happily.

【Ding! 】

[System notification: The host is teaching his daughter self-care skills (independent eating) for the first time.]

[Reward: Dad's Fund + 10,000 yuan.]

[Reward: 100 plush cotton-padded jackets.]

[Current number of padded jackets: 850.]

Another 10,000 yuan and 100 "little cotton-padded jackets" have been received!

Chen Hao was overjoyed, even happier than if he had just closed a big deal.

"That's great! Sisi is so amazing! From now on, let's eat by ourselves every day, okay?"

"Okay!" Lin Sisi's confidence soared, and she began to try her best to eat by herself.

Although she was slow and kept dropping things, she insisted on doing it herself.

After taking a few bites of the food she had picked herself, Lin Sisi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Daddy! Your cooking is so delicious!" she said, her mouth full of food, her words muffled but filled with delight.

"It tastes better than Aunt Wang's! It tastes better than Mom's!"

Chen Hao laughed: "Really? If it's delicious, eat more." He tried some himself and it was indeed quite good.

The steamed egg was incredibly smooth and tender, and the shrimp was bouncy and springy; the broccoli was crisp, tender, and sweet, with a hint of garlic; the steak was cooked to perfection, well-done but not dry, and the black pepper sauce was rich and flavorful.

Master-level culinary skills, truly impressive.

[Ding! You received genuine praise for your cooking from your daughter, strengthening your parent-child relationship. Reward: 10 more "little darlings" (a term of endearment for daughters).]

Chen Hao ate while observing his daughter.

He noticed that Lin Sisi only ate the meat and steamed egg, leaving the broccoli in her bowl untouched.

"Sisi, you can't just eat meat, you need to eat vegetables too." Chen Hao used serving chopsticks to put two more florets of broccoli on her plate.

"Vegetables are nutritious; eating them will help you grow tall and beautiful."

Lin Sisi looked at the green flowers in the bowl and frowned. "The vegetables don't taste good... they have no flavor."

"Who said that?" Chen Hao deliberately put on a stern face.

"Daddy's vegetables are delicious. Try a little bit, just a small bite. If you really don't like them, Daddy won't force you, okay?"

Lin Sisi was skeptical, but she carefully picked up a small floret of broccoli with her chopsticks, hesitated, and put it in her mouth, chewing it cautiously.

The next moment, her furrowed brows relaxed, and her eyes brightened again.

"It's really delicious!" she exclaimed in surprise.

"Crispy and sweet, Dad's vegetables are really delicious!"

After saying that, she ate the remaining broccoli in her bowl and then stared longingly at the broccoli on the plate.

"Daddy, I want more!"

Chen Hao smiled and put some more on her plate.

"Aren't the vegetables delicious? Remember to eat all the dishes Dad makes from now on, and don't be picky about food."

"Yes! I'll eat everything Daddy makes!" Lin Sisi nodded vigorously, taking big bites of broccoli, her little cheeks bulging.

[Ding! Successfully guided your daughter to accept and enjoy healthy food (vegetables), developing good eating habits. Reward: 10 more "little cotton-padded jackets".]

Seeing his daughter enjoying her meal so much, Chen Hao felt a great sense of accomplishment.

This was more than just a meal; it was the beginning of building trust and habits between him and his daughter.

Being a stay-at-home dad seems to be quite fun.

He took a bite of rice and began to enjoy his special lunch.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the dining table, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
