Chapter 4: Raising a Family

After 5 years, Chen Xi once again slept on the bed which belonged to them. He slept exceptionally well that night, which might have been due to her residual fragrance.

Maybe due to the fact that he hadn't slept for hundreds of years, once he slept, he started snoring right away.

When he woke up, the little kiddo was lying on the head of the bed while waving a thread of silk on his nose.

“Achoo!”

Chen Xi cooperatively sneezed, making the small kiddo to burst into laughter.

Looking at the excited expression of his daughter due to the success of her prank, a warm feeling was surging in his heart and then he hugged her with his arms around her and gave her a big kiss on her small cheeks.

"Eeee! Papa is bad!"

The small kiddo was embarrassed by the ambush and immediately shoved Chen Xi away while dashing out of the room.

He enjoyed this kind of feeling.

It's as if in a night's time, he had walked from harsh winter to warm summer, and at the break of dawn, he had finally reached home.

After swiftly wearing his clothes, he walked out of his room and coincidentally saw Aunty Zhang walking out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

After Chen Xi smiled and greeted her, Aunty Zhang laughed and said, "Nian Nian has already squeezed out the toothpaste for you and hurry up, it's time for breakfast."

"Okay."

When Chen Xi walked into the toilet, he saw a yellow mug on the washbasin, a brand new toothbrush with a tube of toothpaste on it, placed on the mug.

This toothpaste was squeezed by his daughter…

A sweet feeling instantly swelled in his heart, that feeling was so sweet such that the sweetness could be used to make honey.

Comfortable!

So f*cking comfortable!

While brushing his teeth, Chen Xi viciously lamented at life.

Their house was not large; An area of 70 plus meter sq, 3 rooms, one living room and a toilet. Moreover, the reading room was renovated into a children room. Nevertheless, Chen Nian slept with Aunty Zhang most of the time.

They did not have a dining room due to the size of the house. Hence, normally, they ate their meals in the living room.

When Chen Xi came into the living room, the small kiddo was already holding a bowl of porridge and eating from it while making slurping sounds.

When she was eating her porridge, a bit of saliva would always flow out from the corner of her mouth, so Aunty Zhang had to stay by her side and slowly feed her while wiping her mouth with a tissue.

"Look at this child, already 4 years old yet she has no manners when she eats, forcing me to watch over her."

Although Aunty Zhang was reprimanding the little kiddo, her expression was betraying her thoughts.

Looking at Aunty Zhang's nervous expression, it must have been because she was afraid that the little kiddo would choke on her food.

Just like that, the three of them ate their breakfast in a joyous atmosphere. When Chen Xi was helping Aunty Zhang to clean up the dishes, he incidentally said out his plans.

"Aunty Zhang, I will be going out to look for a job later…"

Upon hearing his words, Aunty was elated. She gazed at Chen Xi and happily said, "It's good that you are able to think this way, just go. The kid should be going to kindergarten soon and in the future, the family's expenditure will rise. As a father, you should experience the pressure that Ying Ying initially faced."

Slightly embarrassed by Aunty Zhang words, Chen Xi slightly touched his nose.

He did not how much money Ying Ying give Aunty Zhang before she left, but Chen Xi estimated that it wouldn't be much.

Afterall, they bought this house just before he disappeared.

Even though Ying Ying went out to work after that, a mere one or two years was not enough to save up a substantial amount of money.

The cost of raising a child was already quite high, hence, based on Chen Xi's blind guess, Aunty Zhang might have used her own pension to supplement the meager amount of money.

Forget it, forget it, we owe Aunty Zhang too much, when we have the money, we will find the chance to pay back slowly.

After helping Aunty Zhang to tidy up the living room, Chen Xi went over to the shoe cabinet by the door and picked out a pair of shoes that he used to wear.

However, at the same time, the little kiddo started to cry with a 'WA' sound.

Chen Xi was frightened when he saw her crying her heart and lungs out.

Chen Xi instantly ran to her side and carried her up while he gently soothed her, "Nian Nian, what's wrong?"

"Papa don't go, papa don't go…"

The little kiddo sat on Chen Xi's arm and used her hands to cling onto Chen Xi's neck while sobbing. Her current state was just like someone who has been terribly wronged.

If children have a grade for crying, then she would definitely get an S grade.

"Papa won't go, papa won't go anywhere. Nian Nian be good, don't cry…"

Chen Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the little Kiddo saw him finding his shoes and thought he would be leave again.

Because of Nian Nian's outburst, Aunty Zhang immediately rushed out from the kitchen and began to comfort Nian Nian while caressing her head, "Nian Nian be good, Papa is not leaving. Papa has to go out to work to feed the family, if papa doesn't go, then you and Grandma won't have anything to eat."

While talking, Aunty Zhang decided to take Nian Nian from Chen Xi's embrace.

However, she didn't know what happened to the little kiddo, but she would not come down from Chen Xi's embrace no matter what. Both of her hands gripped firmly onto Chen Xi's neck and planted her head into his neck; She raised her voice while crying, "Papa don't go!"

"Papa don't go, papa don't go…"

Chen Xi had no other choice but to carry his daughter onto the sofa and continuously comfort her softly when he saw that the little kiddo was on the verge of flipping out.

On the side, Aunty Zhang was constantly persuading the little kiddo to stop crying while Chen Xi continuously telling her that he wouldn't leave ever again. After a fair bit of persuasion, the little kiddo gradually calmed down.

Upon seeing that she has stopped crying, Aunty Zhang took out a warm towel from the toilet for her to wipe her face and, she began coaxing her before dragging Chen Nian into her arms.

"Nian Nian be good, papa won't leave. You see how your friends' papa and mama all have to work, how can your papa not go to work? The adults work so that their children won't go hungry, do you understand?"

"En."

Seeming like the little kiddo has finally make sense of the matter, she nodded her head and grabbed onto Chen Xi's head while speaking in a reluctant manner, "Papa go to work, I will wait at home for papa…"

"Good."

Aunty Zhang caressed the little kiddo's head and next, she used her eyes to hint at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi stood up as he pinched Nian Nian's tiny cheeks. With a laugh, he asked, "Then papa will go to work now. Nian Nian, what do you want? Papa will buy for you."

"I don't want, I want papa,"

The little kiddo shook her small head as if she still had some reservations about Chen Xi not returning after leaving.

"Then after work, papa will use his fastest speed to rush home and stay with you, okay?"

"Okay…"

After using a prodigious amount of effort, Chen Xi finally went out of the house under the reluctant gaze of the little kiddo.

Chen Xi used to have a bad habit of not carrying around his credentials.

He would often carelessly lose his identification documents and reapplying for them was extremely troublesome. Hence, under normal circumstances, he would usually leave his identification card, bank card, driving license and so at home.

To his surprise, his habit had saved him from quite a bit of trouble.

While looking at the identification card in his hand, Chen Xi walked out of the apartment.

However, after leaving his house, a difficulty arose in his heart.

He needed to earn money…

But how could he earn money?
