Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Good Small Habits

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xiao Fei, whose biological clock was nearly as precise as a stopwatch, woke up on time.

Got out of bed, got dressed, washed up.

Walking out of his bedroom, he opened the door to the kids’ room and immediately spotted the three little ones already awake, though they were wriggling around on the bed, not too eager to get up.

Although the villa had the air conditioning running and the floor heating was on, eliminating the difference between the cozy world inside the blankets and the cold world outside, the kids still liked curling up under the warm and soft covers.

However, once they saw Xiao Fei, those little ones—having been lectured by him multiple times—obediently sat up on the bed.

"Daddy~"

"Daddy, good morning~"

"Da...dd...y..."

Xiao Fei nodded and walked over to the bed.

On the bedside table, the little ones’ clothes were neatly laid out.

Their clothes were even folded tidily.

This was Xiao Fei’s teaching.

Every night before bed, he would ask the kids to fold up their clothes nicely and put them aside.

Since the kids were still quite small, Xiao Fei would help with making the bed and tidying up during the process but would symbolically ask the little ones to "help" too, rather than letting them merely sit idle and watch.

These good habits, when cultivated from a young age, would save a lot of trouble in the future.

"Come on, let’s get dressed."

Xiao Fei picked up the clothes and began helping the kids get dressed.

But today, as he was dressing them, Da Bao suddenly said, "Daddy, can I dress myself too?"

"Oh? Da Bao, you want to dress yourself now?"

"Mm~"

The little one nodded eagerly.

"Daddy and Mommy both dress themselves!"

"Nope~"

Just as Da Bao finished speaking, Er Bao rebutted, "I saw it! Mommy’s clothes were dressed by Daddy! Not dressed by Mommy herself!"

At just this moment, Tang Yuxin, who had woken up and wandered to the kids’ room door, nearly spat out the plain water she had been drinking.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

"What nonsense?"

Xiao Fei turned to look at Tang Yuxin.

His beloved wife was now in a completely unkempt state: her long hair slightly messy, face still showing traces of sleepiness, dressed in a set of pajamas, holding a glass cup in one hand while the other was tucked into her pajama pocket.

"I...I saw it too..."

At this moment, Sanbao whispered softly.

"Mommy lets Daddy help her get dressed."

Tang Yuxin’s face flushed fiercely from the kids’ remarks.

This was her way of being playful with Xiao Fei, exclusive to her.

She never thought these little rascals would bring this matter up now.

"Cough cough... Well, then, from now on Mommy will dress herself, and you little ones must learn how to dress yourselves too, okay?"

Under Xiao Fei’s mischievous gaze, the blushing Tang Yuxin quickly said this to the kids.

The three little ones exchanged glances and simultaneously nodded their heads.

"Yes yes!"

With that, Tang Yuxin didn’t leave; instead, she came inside and teamed up with Xiao Fei to teach the kids how to dress themselves.

Despite having never tried, there are certain things kids don’t need explicit teaching for.

Once they form good habits, they gradually learn many things on their own.

Take dressing as an example—whenever Xiao Fei helped them get dressed, the little ones happily cooperated.

At first, Xiao Fei had to guide them to lift their little arms or raise their tiny feet, but later they didn’t even need him to tell them; they’d naturally make those movements on their own.

This showed they understood how clothes were supposed to be put on.

Sure enough, their first attempt was a bit clumsy—the clothes looked wrinkled and rumpled—but these little ones managed to put on both their tops and bottoms.

But their outfits were all a mess—the shirt tails that were supposed to be tucked into the pants stuck out, one sleeve was crumpled up while the other drooped, and the pants weren’t pulled all the way up.

It was simply too funny to look at.

"Very good, even though you didn’t get it entirely right, being able to dress yourselves this well on the first try is fantastic!"

Xiao Fei appropriately gave them some encouragement, then proceeded to fix their outfits together with Tang Yuxin.

"Now watch closely, little ones. Clothes should be tucked into pants like this, and jackets don’t need to be tucked. Just wear it like this."

"Buttons are fastened this way."

"Got it?"

"Got it wrong!"

Xiao Fei, Tang Yuxin: "...What nonsense?!"

After breakfast...

"Alright, Da Bao, didn’t you say yesterday you wanted Daddy to teach you how to make something tasty?"

Xiao Fei grinned at Da Bao, who was playing with Xiang Zilan.

Da Bao, clutching poor Xiang Zilan, immediately released the cat and scrambled to Xiao Fei’s side.

"Daddy, make food!"

"Today Daddy’s going to teach you to make a little snack, okay?"

"Okay~"

On the couch, Tang Yuxin set down her book.

"Wait a second, hubby, you’re not serious, are you? Really teaching?"

"Just watch and see~"

Xiao Fei responded with a sly smile.

When he led Da Bao into the kitchen, Tang Yuxin, Er Bao, and San Bao instantly tagged along, sneaking after them.

The two little ones were curious, but Tang Yuxin was purely skeptical.

No matter how clever Da Bao might be, there’s no way he could learn to cook at his age, right?

He couldn’t even carry the pots and pans!

But the moment she stepped into the kitchen, Tang Yuxin saw Xiao Fei take a fist-sized, freshly baked small cake out of the oven.

Meanwhile...

On the counter, a cream gun was already prepared for decorating the little cake with cream.

Realizing this, Tang Yuxin finally understood—he only wanted Da Bao to decorate the cake with cream?

If that was the case, the little one could probably manage it.

Though surely, the resulting cake’s design would be quite unsightly.

"Come on, Da Bao, Daddy’s going to teach you how to make a little cake for Little Yu, okay?"

"Okay, okay!"

Da Bao was overjoyed.

Not only could he learn something new, but he could also prepare a gift for Little Yu himself; Da Bao was thrilled to bits.

Xiao Fei smeared some cream on the nozzle of the cream gun, then handed it to Da Bao.

"Daddy believes Da Bao can do a great job."

"Mm-hmm."

Da Bao nodded enthusiastically, staring at Xiao Fei with anticipation sparkling in his eyes.

Meanwhile...

Er Bao and San Bao gazed at the fragrant little cake and both gulped.

Er Bao tugged Tang Yuxin’s hand and looked up: "Mommy... I want to eat..."

"Nope, this one’s for Little Yu."

Before Tang Yuxin could respond, Er Bao turned his head and declared seriously.

"Then... I want to make one too."

Er Bao started tugging at Tang Yuxin, whining.

"Mommy, make one, make another one."

She suddenly glanced at San Bao.

"Make two~"

"One for me and one for little sister~ Is that okay?"

What a crafty move—she even recruited an ally!
