House Dad's Literary Life Chapter 211

Chapter 211 – Small Idea For Electronic Media

When Yang Yi and Mo Fei returned to the living room, Xixi has also finished her homework. The little girl ran over with her notebook like presenting a treasure for her father to check.

“I’ve finished writing it all, super serious!” Xixi looked eagerly at her father, hoping to receive his praise.

Yang Yi took the notebook and “appreciated” the full page strokes his daughter had written together with Mo Fei. The little girl has indeed written very seriously, not only trying to imitate the examples her father had taught her, but also writing a few small squares well and not just perfunctorily.

After all, it was just strokes, and Mo Fei couldn’t really appreciate it, but she was very happy with her daughter’s performance. She immediately bent down and picked up Xixi, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile, “Yes, this kind of serious att.i.tude makes Mama very happy!”

“You wrote very well, Papa will come up later and draw for you, okay?” Yang Yi also kissed Xixi on the other cheek.

Unexpectedly, she was kissed by both her father and mother on each cheek. Xixi held her two little cheeks that were kissed by her parents, feeling a bit overwhelmed with happiness. The little girl laughed happily, not even caring about the drawing anymore.

Xixi hugged her mom’s neck and bounced along with them downstairs, asking curiously, “Where are we going?”

“We’re going to the coffee shop!” Mo Fei said.

“Ah? I don’t want to go to the coffee shop. I don’t like drinking coffee.” The little girl said with a pout. She actually wanted to watch TV since she had spent quite a bit of time doing her homework.

“Mama is not asking you to drink coffee. Mama just wants to see the Big Sister Ding Xiang you talked about,” Mo Fei said with a smile.

“Oh, then I want to go and play. Big Sister Ding Xiang is super nice. Last time, when I brought Xiao Guai down, she helped me catch Xiao Guai.” Xixi giggled.

Yang Yi guessed right, Ding Xiang was still cleaning up. In order to save electricity, she also turned off the rows of fluorescent lights, leaving only dim yellow lights.

“Big Brother Yang, Xixi, this is…” Ding Xiang heard the noise at the door and walked out with a mop. When she saw Mo Fei, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t dare to express her guess for fear of making a mistake.

“Big Sister Ding Xiang, this is my Mama!” Xixi introduced first.

“Um, yes, my beloved1, Mo Fei.” Yang Yi also nodded neatly.

Mo Fei glanced at Yang Yi. She was a little uncomfortable with this t.i.tle, but she didn’t argue. Instead, she smiled slightly and nodded to Ding Xiang, “h.e.l.lo, Ding Xiang, Yang Yi has mentioned you many times before.”

As expected, it was the lady boss. Ding Xiang quickly greeted Mo Fei and even called her “Lady Boss” with great caution.

The girl wasn’t completely ignorant. She was a bit nervous about whether Mo Fei would discriminate against her because she was a girl and lose this well-paying job.

However, she worried too much. When Mo Fei saw her pet.i.te figure and slightly ordinary appearance, her already low guard was completely let down.

“You call Yang Yi ‘Big Brother Yang’, but you call me ‘Lady Boss’?” Based on the stories Yang Yi had told her before, Mo Fei had a good impression of Ding Xiang. She smiled softly and said, “You can call me Sister Fei!”

“Okay, Sister Fei!” Ding Xiang nodded and said.

She still hasn’t recognized Mo Fei yet, after all, she basically didn’t have any concept of entertainment stars.

Mo Fei put down her impatient daughter Xixi and let her play by herself. Then she took Ding Xiang’s hand and gently said, “Ding Xiang, you give the mop to Yang Yi. You’ve worked hard all day, take a break!”

Yang Yi didn’t really mind. He used to clean the place every day. He took the mop from Ding Xiang, who was reluctant to let go, and went to the back toilet to prepare to change the water.

“Papa, I’ll help you!” Xixi hopped along, her pleasant voice echoing through the s.p.a.cious coffee shop.

“What can you help Papa with?”

“Um… help Papa carry the water!”

“Carry the bucket? Okay, then Papa will carry it with you.”

…

Mo Fei withdrew her gaze from her daughter’s side and looked at Ding Xiang. She curiously asked, “Ding Xiang, your name sounds like the lilac from the lilac flower2. If Yang Yi hadn’t told me you’re from western Hunan, I wouldn’t have recognized it.”

“Yes, a lot of people think of the lilac flower when they first hear my name,” Ding Xiang smiled shyly, “And then some people ask me if I like lilac flowers?”

“Do you like lilacs?” Mo Fei asked with interest.

“Before, I didn’t even know what a lilac flower looked like. Now I do, but I don’t like them too much. I think their colors are too bright.” Ding Xiang said.

“Actually, there are many types of lilacs, and the brightly colored ones should be the red and blue ones. As far as I know, the lilacs in Beijing are very beautiful, with a medicinal yellow color that looks like starry sky flowers. And the lilacs in the local area of Caiyun Province, and another white variety called Buddha’s Hand Lilac are also very pretty!” Mo Fei talked about flowers with great enthusiasm.

The two of them stood by the piano holding hands and chatted for a while.

Ding Xiang had already diligently cleaned the table, and in no time, Yang Yi had managed to clean the rest of the floor with the help of Xixi (while also having some fun).

After asking Xixi to wash her hands, Yang Yi led her out and asked, “What are you talking about?”

“We’re talking about Ding Xiang’s major. Their electronic media major is quite interesting. They not only learn media courses but also programming, which is different from what the media majors we recruited in our company learned,” Mo Fei said.

“Electronic media, that’s the big trend of the future.” Yang Yi unintentionally leaked the secret, but Ding Xiang was ignorant and unaware, and Mo Fei was not interested.

“Oh, by the way!” Yang Yi suddenly remembered Mo Fei’s plans to start a studio and go solo in the future. An idea came to his mind and he asked, “Ding Xiang, are there any students in your major who have a high level of programming skills or have experience in website design?”

“Should be, right? I haven’t learned anything too advanced yet, but there should be some senior students who are more proficient in it,” Ding Xiang said.

“What do you want to do?” Mo Fei asked curiously.

“I have an idea. If there are such talents, I want to invest some money to do a project,” Yang Yi smiled and said to Mo Fei.

Mo Fei suddenly lost interest, and she did not interfere with Yang Yi’s idea of spending money.

“I’ll help Big Brother Yang ask about it when I go back later. I have a senior sister in the student union who knows a lot of people and will definitely help find the talents Big Brother Yang wants,” Ding Xiang promised earnestly.

“It’s okay, just do your best. If not, I can go to Shanghai and find a comprehensive university to collaborate with and recruit people.” Yang Yi waved his hand nonchalantly.

“Okay, let’s end our conversation here. It’s too late for Ding Xiang to go back, it’s not safe. You shouldn’t work too late in the future either. Let’s close the shop. Yang Yi doesn’t need that little money anyway,” Mo Fei said with concern to Ding Xiang.

“It’s okay, really, it’s okay. It’s actually quite safe on campus,” Ding Xiang gratefully said to Mo Fei.
