Twenty minutes later.
Xiao Fei had finished organizing all the items he brought.
Just then, Er Bao, who was in Aunt Wang's arms, suddenly burst into loud crying.
"Oh dear..."
"My little darling, did you poop?"
Saying this, Aunt Wang prepared to carry Er Bao to find a fresh diaper.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Fei suddenly remembered the task the system had issued yesterday.
He hurriedly stopped Aunt Wang and said:
"Aunt Wang, let me do it."
"Teach me how to change the baby's diaper."
"After all, I need to learn how to take care of the baby in the future, right?"
Hearing this, Aunt Wang was delighted.
After all, it's rare for a new dad to voluntarily step forward to change a diaper.
"Sure!"
"You go fetch the diapers, and I'll teach you how to change them for the baby."
As soon as Aunt Wang finished speaking, Xiao Fei retrieved a large bag of diapers from the cabinet.
Under Aunt Wang's patient guidance, Xiao Fei quickly learned how to change the baby's diaper.
Within a few minutes, he had successfully changed Er Bao's diaper.
Just then, the system's voice rang out.
[Ding...]
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the New Dad Challenge Level 2. Reward: $1,000,000 cash.]

Once the system finished speaking,
Xiao Fei felt a bottle-shaped object suddenly appear in his pocket.
Simultaneously, a flood of culinary knowledge surged into his mind.
In no time, he had absorbed all of this knowledge.
Xiao Fei felt that, at this very moment, he could probably apply for the head chef position at a five-star hotel without any problem.
Excited about his new skill, Xiao Fei naturally wanted to show it off.
He put down Er Bao and turned towards Tang Yuxin, saying:
"Yuxin, is there a market nearby?"
"I'm going there to buy some groceries. I'll cook dinner for all of you tonight."
Surprised, Tang Yuxin turned her head and asked, "You can cook?"
"Of course!"
Xiao Fei raised an eyebrow proudly and said, "Tell me what you'd like to eat tonight, and I'll make it for you."
"Anything works for me."
Tang Yuxin replied with a smile.
Aunt Wang nodded along as well, not daring to make any specific requests.
So, with both of them watching expectantly, Xiao Fei hummed a tune and left the house.
After Xiao Fei left, Aunt Wang couldn't help but turn to Tang Yuxin and say, "Miss Tang, it seems like you truly have found yourself a great husband!"
"Come on..."
Being teased by Aunt Wang, Tang Yuxin blushed shyly.
"Miss Tang, there's no need to be modest."
"Take my husband for example. Forget cooking for the kids."
"You've already married him for so many years, yet I've barely seen him step into our kitchen."
As the conversation shifted to this topic, Aunt Wang seemed to unlock a floodgate.
She began complaining about her husband to Tang Yuxin, while sprinkling praise on Xiao Fei.
Listening to Aunt Wang's compliments, Tang Yuxin appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she was glowing with happiness.
After all, having such an outstanding husband—how could she not be pleased?
Soon, the two sat on the sofa,
starting to entertain the three babies: stroking Da Bao's head, tickling Er Bao's nose, and pinching Sanbao's ears.
The babies laughed and giggled uncontrollably, their smiles lighting up the whole room.
Shortly after.
Xiao Fei returned with groceries.
He was carrying bag after bag, brimming with all sorts of ingredients.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang and Tang Yuxin were completely stunned.
"You're cooking all of this?"
"Yes!"
Faced with Tang Yuxin's somewhat redundant question,
Xiao Fei replied helplessly.
Then, carrying the ingredients, he walked into the kitchen and started bustling around.
Out of curiosity, Tang Yuxin slipped on her slippers and silently wandered to the kitchen door.
She wanted to see for herself—just how good was Xiao Fei's cooking?
Unexpectedly...
What she saw was truly astonishing!
In the kitchen, Xiao Fei wielded the knife skillfully, slicing and dicing with extraordinary technique.
In just a few minutes, he had already prepared several meat dishes.
Then, he grabbed a nearby carrot, neatly lined it up on the cutting board, and began slicing it.
"Chop chop chop!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The rhythmic sound of the knife hitting the cutting board filled the kitchen.
Xiao Fei in that moment was like the legendary Little Chef, his knife moving so swiftly it almost left lingering shadows.
The processed ingredients were neatly arranged on plates.
Next up... heating the pan, adding oil!
The ingredients were added to the pan.
A series of sizzling sounds filled the kitchen.
Witnessing this, Tang Yuxin was utterly dumbfounded.
She could never have imagined that Xiao Fei could cook so well.
Meanwhile, Aunt Wang, who was in the living room taking care of the babies, caught a whiff of the delicious aroma.
"Gulp..."
She couldn't help but swallow hard.
Laying down Sanbao, she headed towards the kitchen.
Seeing Xiao Fei flexing his culinary skills, Aunt Wang froze in astonishment.
"This young man is truly incredible!"
She unconsciously let out a sigh of admiration.
If cooking for most people was merely about filling one's stomach,
Xiao Fei had clearly turned this act into an art form.
With his spatula in hand, he moved as gracefully as a conductor, orchestrating the ingredients into a harmonious performance within the wok.
Moreover,
Every action he made was silky smooth, pleasing to the eye.
Watching him cook felt akin to witnessing an artistic performance.
"Huh?"
"Why are you standing by the door?"
Noticing someone behind him, Xiao Fei turned his head and curiously asked.
"You..."
Tang Yuxin's mouth hung open, struggling to believe her eyes. "How are you so amazing at cooking?"
"Those moves you made earlier... it's like watching a movie!"
"No wait, even movies don't look that dramatic!"
Aunt Wang, standing to the side, couldn't help but keep nodding.
Seeing Xiao Fei's incredible culinary skills, she admitted that she had never witnessed anything like it in all her years.
"It's nothing, just practice makes perfect."
Xiao Fei joked and smiled.
Originally, he did know how to cook, but after receiving the system's reward,
his culinary skills had skyrocketed.
To the point where he was even better than so-called Michelin three-star chefs!
At this moment, Xiao Fei felt a newfound confidence in his cooking—
no one could surpass him in this domain.
Looking at the confident smile on Xiao Fei's face,
Tang Yuxin's long-quiet heart seemed to skip a beat.
Meeting Xiao Fei's gaze again, she found herself flustered, wanting to flee but unable to.
She didn't want to miss this wonderful moment,
After all, watching Xiao Fei cook was truly like enjoying a visual feast!
