An Ran's second day abroad was Saturday, so after finally sleeping in, he got up to make breakfast for Xiao Qing. Just as he arrived at the dining room, he discovered that Li Chuan wasn't at work, but was in the kitchen making breakfast for them.
Standing at 1.85 meters tall, paired with that floral apron, she looked absolutely hilarious. An Ran had originally intended to quietly admire the scene from outside, but she couldn't resist the comical sight, so she burst out laughing, successfully attracting the attention of the man who was cooking.
“Looks like I should keep a men’s apron in the kitchen,” An Ran said, then mischievously tied the drawstring at the back of the apron into a bow.
That's what makes a man more like a stay-at-home dad.
As the man with the lowest status in the family, he watched his wife laughing and mocking him. So, in a fit of pique, he poured salad dressing, which Anran disliked the most, onto Anran's favorite fried egg.
"Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong." An Ran looked at his breakfast, which was about to be sacrificed, so she quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake with great pride.
Li Chuan naturally wouldn't argue with him, so he took her hand, pulled her into the restaurant, and sat her down in a chair.
"Try the new dishes I learned these past two days and see how they taste. I'll go wake Xiao Qing up." After placing all the breakfast dishes on the table, Li Chuan turned and went upstairs.
A short while later, Li Chuan carried the sleepy-eyed Xiao Qing downstairs.
Li Chuan placed Xiao Qing on a chair in front of the dining table and carefully prepared ketchup for her. Only then did he sit down and eat his breakfast with peace of mind.
The Li family is very particular about their dining etiquette. No talking is allowed while eating; they believe in the principle of "no talking while eating, no talking while sleeping."
So they ate breakfast quietly, just like always.
An Ran watched as Li Chuan, having finished breakfast, still didn't go to work, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Li Chuan used to be a workaholic, rushing to the company to handle business as soon as he finished breakfast. Why is the sun rising in the west today?
"Our family has finally reunited, so I'm staying home to keep you company," Li Chuan said quietly, as if he understood An Ran's thoughts.
The sun was blazing outside today, so they decided to stay inside the villa and watch a movie together. Although it wasn't as fun or relaxing as going out, it had its own unique charm.
Moreover, Xiao Qing herself chose this movie, so she watched it very attentively.
In particular, a scene in the movie made Xiaoqing's eyes sparkle like stars. A captivating light shone within them.
In the movie, Anran dances gracefully under a cherry blossom tree to the sound of a piano. Petals fall around her, creating a scene that is simply breathtaking.
Perhaps every woman has a dream in her heart, so when Xiaoqing saw this scene, she immediately suggested to Anran next to her that he also wanted to learn dance and music.
I also want to be such an elegant and beautiful woman.
Anran never made any demands on Xiaoqing, so while other children of the same age were attending various tutoring classes, Xiaoqing was still leisurely watching TV at home.
However, Anran would do her best to help Xiaoqing fulfill his wishes, so when Xiaoqing said he wanted to learn dance and music, Anran agreed without hesitation.
It's not just because Xiaoqing wants to learn, but also because dance and music can better highlight a person's temperament and soul, making them feel confident.
After hearing Anran nod without hesitation, Xiaoqing immediately took action and dragged Anran to various tutoring centers to inquire about it.
Xiao Qing perfectly inherited An Ran's decisive personality. An Ran didn't procrastinate either; after changing her clothes, she dragged Li Chuan to the best training school nearby.
After consulting with the person in charge at the training school, Anran said she would go home and discuss it with Xiaoqing, and then decide which one to enroll in the next day.
The music and dance teachers at this tutoring center are top-notch, so the course arrangement isn't perfect.
They have two classes, one on weekday evenings and the other on Saturday and Sunday, to accommodate students who are already in school.
Music classes are scheduled in the first class, from Monday to Friday, while dance classes are scheduled in the second class, on Saturdays and Sundays.
My daughter wants to learn both, but since he's still in school, if we enroll him in both, he'll have very little free time.
Therefore, Anran needs to discuss it with Xiaoqing first to avoid making Xiaoqing too tired and causing the opposite effect.
However, when Xiao Qing heard that he would hardly have any time to rest for a week, he didn't object. Instead, he happily agreed.
Xiaoqing knows that nothing is easy to succeed at, and if she wants to do it, she has to put in the time and effort.
In addition, this training school is very close to home, only a ten-minute walk away, so there's no need for my parents to pick me up.
Anran was very pleased to see how strong and independent Xiaoqing was.
Seeing Xiao Qing's packed schedule, Li Chuan was very dissatisfied. He couldn't understand why such a young child had to do so much. Wouldn't she get tired?
Furthermore, he was worried about Xiao Qing's health. It was easy for such a young child to get sick due to the strain. And seeing other children her age playing at home or going out with their parents after school every day was also concerning.
Doesn't Xiao Qing want to play?
Li Chuan squatted down and explained to Xiao Qing in detail that if she signed up for both of these extracurricular classes at the same time, she would not have any extra time to play from then on, and he also went into great detail about what she would not be able to do.
"Dad, I'm an adult now. I can make my own decisions. I've thought it through. I want to enroll in both classes at the same time." Xiaoqing knew that Li Chuan was worried about her, so she patiently explained her thoughts to her father.
"And Dad, I love music and dance. I'll work hard for them." After saying that, Xiao Qing patted Li Chuan's shoulder, as if to reassure him.
Seeing his stubborn daughter, Li Chuan didn't know what else to say, but he paid more attention to Xiao Qing's diet.
But a few days later, when Li Chuan saw Xiao Qing still practicing dance in the dance studio, he understood why An Ran had agreed so readily.
In the dance studio, Xiao Qing completely shed her previous soft, cute, and childlike appearance, transforming into a little angel, a little elf dancing gracefully there.
Moreover, the happiness and joy on Xiao Qing's face came from the bottom of her heart.
