The little boy Samuel worked hard and managed to push a few small boxes.
The little girl Camelia struggled forward, holding a large cardboard box, wobbling on her tiny legs like a tottering snake.
Seeing this, Soudeep bent down to steady the box and laughed softly.
"Camelia , just push what you can manage. Let Daddy handle this big box."
"Daddy, did I buy too many toys? It's so heavy," she huffed, furrowing her little eye brows in concentration.
Soudeep smiled warmly.
"So, will you still buy so many toys next time?"
"I'll only buy the ones I really like. If I just like them, I won't buy them," she replied, her big, watery eyes blinking. "But Daddy, please let Yao Yao move her own things. You said we should do our tasks ourselves whenever we can.Even brother is moving his own things."
Meanwhile Samuel said " Daddy look I am so powerful. I can move so many toys. "
Soudeep praised Samuel.
Both children were sensible for their age. Knowing the large box was too heavy for her, Camelia smartly switched to smaller boxes, dividing the toys and moving them one by one into her room. Samuel also helped his sister. Father,daughter, and son worked together for over an hour, organizing the room. After washing up, they finally sank into the bed to rest.
In their new neighbourhood, there was a big market just 5 minutes away. That evening, Soudeep made a trip to market alone to buy some ingredients for dinner. Meanwhile, both children sat in the living room, engrossed in their favourite cartoon show , " Mighty Raju" . Though the new TV was not as large as their previous one in Sabina Emom's luxurious villa , it didn't seem to dampen their enthusiasm.
The first skill Lu Qin had won from the system's lottery was [World's Best Momo], and with it came an incredible boost in his cooking techniques. His technique had advanced so much that even cutting meat and vegetables or flipping a pan had become an art. What used to be just basic level skill had now turned into mastery.
For dinner, he whipped up a simple yet hearty meal— chicken munchurian, 9 pieces of chicken momo , fried eggs, ginger rice and salad of tomato and cucumbers . Just enough for the family of 3.
As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, the rich, aroma wafted into the living room. The two children''s little noses twitched. They immediately turned off the TV and rushed over, eyes wide with excitement.
"Wow! Daddy, it smells amazing! Samuel is hungry!" The little boy exclaimed, bouncing on his toes, forgetting she had already eaten a whole apple while watching his show with his little sister Camelia.
"Daddy, today's dinner smells even better than usual!"
Camelia said her big eyes sparkled as she gazed longingly at the dishes on table practically drooling.
"Go wash your hands, then we can eat."
Soudeep reminded her gently.
"Okay!" She replied, dashing off to the bathroom and joined her brother in washing hands.
Both children dragged small stools over to the sink and stood on it to reach the faucet, their little hands carefully scrubbing under the water. Soudeep had raised both children well— they could wash their face, brush their teeth, and even tie their shoes all on own from childhood .
When they returned, Soudeep had already served them dishes and 3 momos each.
"Daddy, let's eat!" Camelia said, trying to maneuver the chopsticks.
The moment she took a bite, her face lit up with pure joy. The soft, savory chicken practically melted in her mouth, and she couldn't help but shine in delight, her feet swinging happily under the table.
Even her brother Samuel had such a beautiful reaction.
"Eat slowly, or your tummy will hurt," Soudeep said, smiling as he took a bite of the egg fry.
His eyes widened in surprise. As expected from the system's max-level cooking skill, even something as simple as fried eggs had been risen to a whole new level. The eggs were perfectly tender yet firm. The flavours molded together in a way that left a lingering satisfaction after every bite.
In no time, the dishes were wiped clean by the father and twin children . Soudeep and the children were well fed.
Afterward, the family of 3 leaned back in their chairs, unable to move. Samuel and Camelia rubbed their little bellies happily, though there was still a hint of craving in their eyes.
"Daddy, can you make this again tomorrow? It was so yummy today!" Samuel asked Soudeep with cute puppy like eyes.
"Of course," Soudeep said with a smile, patting both on their heads before heading up to the basin to clean the dishes.
Ever helpful, the twins Samuel and Camelia insisted on joining in. But soon enough, the 2 children had their sleeves soaked, after using too much dish soap, the basin was overflowing with bubbles.
Both the children started bullying each other.
" Daddy look what little sister has done" Samuel shouted happily. Both children started playing with bubbles putting the kitchen in a mess.
Soudeep laughed , tapping on the noses of 2 children amused by the chaos his twin children had caused.
The kitchen was filled with the warmth of love and laughter.
