How to raise a random guy's wife

"No~" Kobayashi Megumi covered Kobayashi Sora's eyes, "Get up quickly, Ranran will be home from school soon."

"Okay, okay, I'll get up right away."

Kobayashi Megumi then put her hand down.

Reluctantly letting go of Kobayashi Megumi, Kobayashi Sora got out of bed.

Then she suddenly turned around, hugged Kobayashi Megumi, and gave her a big kiss.

"Hmm...like a little kid." Kobayashi Megumi patted him helplessly. "Okay~ let's go take a shower, hurry up!"

"Uh-huh......"

After taking a shower, changing into clean clothes, and tidying up the room, the two of them went to pick up Xiaolin Lan together.

Chapter 944 Sunny Study

"Lanlan wants this!" Xiaolin Lan gently shook Xiaolin Hui's hand. "Mommy, this~"

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi looked in the direction her daughter was pointing, "The toy house, it really is very pretty."

“A model,” Kobayashi Sora shook the box, “this one needs to be assembled by hand.”

Ran Kobayashi wanted a miniature house, with all the materials packed in a big box, which she would have to assemble herself.

"Lanlan is very good at handicrafts! Aunt Coco taught Lanlan so many amazing things!"

Kobayashi Sora was well aware of Tang Keke's practical skills.

It could even be described as one person being a construction team.

Kobayashi Sora was in charge of the materials, while Tang Keke completed most of the upgrade work on the Shenjin Island stage by herself.

but......

“This is one of those very small houses.” Kobayashi Sora checked the dimensions and gestured to her daughter, “It’s about this big, and everything inside is also very small. Lanlan has to promise not to eat anything indiscriminately before Daddy can feel at ease buying it for you.”

"Hmm..." Xiaolin Lan stared at the box for a long time, "Dad."

"Ok?"

"Lanlan hadn't thought about eating it before you mentioned it," Xiaolin Lan pouted. "Now Lanlan wants to try it..."

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Xiaolin Lan was so sad. She hadn't wanted to eat it, but she could have bought it.

Now that her dad reminded her, she felt a bit craving it, so she couldn't buy it.

“Because we need to use glue and scissors when making it, it might hurt Lanlan.” Kobayashi Megumi squatted down and discussed with her daughter, “If the toys that Mom and Dad buy for Lanlan hurt her, Mom and Dad will feel very guilty.”

"Hmm..." Ran Kobayashi opened her mouth, but finally lowered her head helplessly, "...Hmm."

"So Lanlan has to promise Mommy," Kobayashi Megumi held up her little finger, "that after Mommy and Daddy buy it for Lanlan, Lanlan can't make it alone. She has to make it with Mommy and Daddy, okay?"

"Okay!" Lin Lan answered happily, hooking her little finger around her mother's. "It's a deal, thank you, Mom!"

"Lanlan, be good~" Xiaolin Kongqing stroked her daughter's hair, "Choose what you like."

"Lanlan wants this!" Little Lin Lan picked out a sunny study theme, excitedly picked up the box, then put it down again. "Daddy...it's so heavy..."

"Give it to Dad." Kobayashi Sora easily picked up the large box.

There are large acrylic sheets inside for dust protection, so it's quite heavy.

Back home, Xiaolin Lan immediately started working, but she was stunned as soon as she opened the box, "So many..."

From basic wooden boards and blocks to all sorts of stickers and glues, as well as silk floss and cloth, plastic sheets, wires and iron wires, it's a dazzling array.

Kobayashi Megumi looked somewhat troubled. "Daddy~"

Entrusting something this complex to Kobayashi Sora is the best choice.

"Let me see..." Kobayashi Sora glanced at it briefly, "Wait a moment."

Turning around, she went into the storage room. When she came out again, Kobayashi Sora took out some resealable bags and a large box.

Kobayashi Sora initially wanted to start immediately, but after thinking about it, she decided to give the initiative to her daughter. "Lanlan, what should we do now?"

"Huh?" Xiaolin Ran looked up at her father, then down at the huge pile of materials. "Hmm... Shall we take a break first?"

"Good idea." Kobayashi Sora put the resealable bag into the box. "Let's go take a break, but we need to pack up these materials first."

"Mmm." Kobayashi Ran breathed a sigh of relief and put the materials back into the box.

After closing the box, Kobayashi Ran's gaze fell on the beautifully designed sunny study room printed on it. "Hmm..."

"what happened?"

"Dad..." Lin Lan hesitated for a moment, "How about we give it a try first?"

"Okay." Kobayashi Sora had anticipated this outcome and patiently waited for Kobayashi Ran to reopen the box and take out the various materials.

Ran Kobayashi touched the pattern on the box, looked at the densely packed materials, and said, "Hmm..."

Kobayashi Sora voiced her true feelings: "There are so many, I have no idea where to begin."

"Mmm-hmm." Xiaolin Lan nodded repeatedly. "Daddy feels the same way, right?"

"Most people who open the box for the first time probably have the same feeling," Kobayashi Sora reminded. "So, the seller should prepare some things to help us complete the production, such as...?"

"Instruction manual!" Ran Kobayashi's eyes lit up as she searched for something that looked like an instruction manual. "The 'Sunshine Study Room Construction Instruction Manual'...Found it!"

"and then?"

"Look at what it says up there," Xiaolin Ran read the first page with some difficulty, "Pre-production notes...warm...instructions...Dad~"

Ran Kobayashi cast a pleading look at Sora Kobayashi.

There are many words on it that Xiaolin Lan doesn't recognize yet.

"Dad will take a look for you." Kobayashi Sora took the instruction manual and read the contents. "Precautions before making it, and a friendly reminder: the color picture on the outer packaging is the final finished picture. Please refer to it when making it."

Ran Kobayashi couldn't understand it, but she could hear it: "Make it according to the shape of the box."

"Please cut the material according to the template to avoid mistakes."

"Template?" Ran Kobayashi flipped through them. "Is this it?"

“That’s right,” Kobayashi Sora nodded. “There are unavoidable slight color variations in the wood, fabric, and beads from different batches. We will not notify you separately. Please understand.”

Hmm... the color might not be the same as on the box?

"Because the outside is a picture, and the inside is the actual object."

"Like instant noodles?" Ran Kobayashi thought of something familiar.

"Lanlan is so smart." Kobayashi Sora said, looking down. "There's another very important point: children must make it under the supervision of an adult."

"Lanlan made a promise with her mother!" Little Linlan said seriously, "And she can't eat just anything."

Kobayashi Sora read out all the precautions and instructions one by one. For things that Kobayashi Ran didn't understand, Kobayashi Sora used things she was familiar with to help her understand. "Alright, we can start making it now."

"So many things to remember..." Ran Kobayashi tilted her head, recalling, "Wood grain, fabric, glue..."

Kobayashi Sora reminded, "If you forget something while making it, you can always look back and try to remember."

"Let's get started now!" Xiaolin Lan cheered happily, "Let's make a sunny study together!"

Chapter 945 Squeezing the Cat

Ran Kobayashi checks the materials. "Which one should we do first?"

“That depends on which one Lanlan wants to make,” Kobayashi Sora said, flipping through the instruction manual. “There are wardrobes, guitars, tatami mats, table lamps, bookshelves…”

“Let’s start with something simple.” Xiaolin Lan recalled the techniques Tang Keke taught her. “Aunt Keke said that this would give you a better sense of accomplishment…”

Ran Kobayashi compared them and pointed to the one with fewer steps in the instructions, "Let's start with the magazine."

"So what's the first step?"

“Prepare the materials,” Ran Kobayashi said, looking for the corresponding materials according to the charts in the instruction manual. “B19, C1… Ugh… This is so troublesome, even the simplest part is so complicated…”

A huge pile of materials were mixed together and scattered on the table, making it particularly difficult to find anything.

Kobayashi Sora watched this scene quietly, without disturbing her.

Xiaolin Lan searched for a while on her own, then her eyes lit up when she saw the box and resealable bag that Xiaolin Kongqing had just brought over. "Dad!"

"Ok?"

"I've got a great idea!"

"What's a good idea?"

"Could you get me a pen?" Ran Kobayashi held up a resealable bag. "I need one that I can write on smooth surfaces."

When Ran Kobayashi says something is slippery, she is referring to plastic.

"Here you go." Kobayashi Sora handed the pen to Kobayashi Ran.

Ran Kobayashi checked the material list, put the materials with the same number into the resealable bag, and wrote the number on it with a pen: "A17, one wooden block, A18, three wooden blocks, A19... This one is a large piece, so I don't need it."

Before long, most of the materials were packed into resealable bags and placed in the large box brought by Kobayashi Sora, making the table much tidier immediately.

"That's good." Ran Kobayashi flipped through the instruction manual. "I need two B19s. The B19s are... here!" She took out the resealable bag containing the B19s from the box, held it up, and shook it happily.

"Lanlan is so smart." Kobayashi Sora seemed even happier than Kobayashi Lan.

"I learned this from Dad." Ran Kobayashi took the corresponding materials out of the resealable bag. "This is Dad's treasure."

"Daddy's treasure trove also has little rooms like this," Kobayashi Sora searched her memory for the corresponding item. "Once Lanlan finishes making the Sunshine Study, Daddy will give Lanlan a box, okay?"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Ran Kobayashi had finished packing up a large pile of materials, Megumi Kobayashi, who had been holding the rice cake, finally let go of it.

"Meow?" Nian Gao looked at Kobayashi Megumi in confusion. She was scratching so diligently just now, why did she suddenly become so passive?

When Kobayashi Megumi put her down, the rice cake rubbed against her legs and made soft, whimpering noises.

"You~" Kobayashi Megumi picked up the rice cake again and put it on the sofa, then picked up a small comb to brush the rice cake's fur.

The rice cake slurped and stretched out on the ground, clearly enjoying itself.
