Soon, as the evening approached, the piano Ye Bing ordered was delivered by Zhuge.
The piano was placed at the most inner part of the living room, which seemed rather suitable.
When Ye Bing saw the piano, her eyes lit up.
âDaddy, what a beautiful piano, I really like it, thank you Daddy!â Ye Bing excitedly approached the piano, stretched out her little hands to caress the black and white keys, and gently pressed them, creating delightful sounds that intensified the joy in her eyes.
It sounded so beautiful!
Just pressing a few keys randomly and it already sounded this good; if she were to play a whole piece with the piano, wouldnât that be even moreâ¦
Thinking about this, Ye Bing couldnât wait to start learning piano pieces.
She wanted to play one beautiful melody after another.
âDaddy, I want to learn the piano,â Ye Bing said to her father, Ye Fan, with a deep yearning in her eyes.
This moment, she was truly delighted.
In the past, she thought it would be nice to have a piano, but it wasnât necessary.
But now, with her own piano, she really wanted to perform a piece with her own hands.
âSure, Daddy will find you a teacher tomorrow, and then you can learn at home, how about that?â Ye Fan said with a smile.
After giving it some thought, he still felt that hiring a piano teacher to come home to teach his child was better, as it provided one-on-one coaching, which would allow his child to progress faster and master the piano.
Anyway, as long as it was something his child liked, he was willing to spend a bit more money.
He didnât care about the expense at all.
Isnât earning money meant for spending?
If he couldnât spend it, then what was the point of earning it?
âThatâs wonderful, Daddy, I love you.â Saying this, Little Ye Bing hugged Ye Fan and planted a kiss on his cheek, her eyes curving in a happy smile.
It was rare, indeed. Usually, the eldest Ye Bing was very steady and sensible, seldom showing such excitement. But now, it was clear she really liked the piano.
As long as the children liked it, all was well.
Ye Fan felt that buying the piano was very worthwhile.
âYou little ones, doesnât anyone else have something theyâd like, like a hobby? You can tell Daddy, and Iâll buy it for you, or find you a teacher to help you learn,â Ye Fan said, looking at the little ones again.
âDaddy, I like listening to music, but I donât want to learn.â Ye Qing spoke up slowly.
Ye Qing felt she wasnât suitable for learning.
She genuinely enjoyed listening to music.
For now, she didnât have any other hobbies.
âDaddy, itâs the same for me; I donât want to learn either, or thereâs nothing else I want to learn,â Ye Yu said with a smile, then spoke up.
What she liked right now was to play.
Ye Fan looked at the two little treasures and smiled without saying much.
Anyway, if the children didnât like it, then they didnât like it; he generally didnât force them to do anything.
Besides, hobbies should be dependent on the children themselves, whether they have an interest or not; forcing them probably wonât amount to anything.
Oh right, there was also Little Fourth.
Never mind, Little Fourth Ye Jie just loved to playâapart from playing, she didnât have other interests.
With this in mind, Ye Fan didnât bother to ask Little Fourth Ye Jie anymore.
For now, he thought it best to just get the eldestâs piano lessons started.
âYou guys, in the future, try to learn from your big sister and find some hobbies you like. Girls need to become more excellent. If thereâs anything you want to learn in the future, tell Daddy right away, and I will solve it for you,â Ye Fan said to the second and third children.
âGot it, thank you Daddy!â Ye Qing spoke up, becoming quite well-behaved.
âIâve also remembered,â Ye Yu nodded.
âAlright, go play, Iâm going upstairs to see your mother,â Ye Fan said as he patted Little Ye Bingâs head and then headed upstairs.
Upon reaching the second floor, he gently opened the door and saw Bai Susu sleeping, though the quilt was not properly covered.
Ye Fan quietly walked in, covered Bai Susu properly with the quilt, and then went downstairs.
He came outside and saw Little Fourth Ye Jie and Niuniu running around and playing.
Little Fourth really loved to chase around and play every day.
âLittle Fourth,â Ye Fan called out.
âDaddy,â Ye Jie, upon hearing someone call her, turned around and saw Ye Fan, immediately responding.
Then, in the next second, she ran towards Ye Fan.
âDaddy, what do you need me for?â Little Ye Jie asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.
She didnât know what her father could want with her at this time.
Wasnât he inside with her other sisters?
âYou child, I just wanted to ask if you have any hobbies you like?â Ye Fan said helplessly.
Look at this Little Fourth, her own dad comes looking for her and she acts as if sheâs being greatly inconveniencedâis it because he interrupted her play?
âHobbies?â Little Fourth Ye Jie, upon hearing her fatherâs words, furrowed her brows.
What was he planning?
Why suddenly ask about hobbies?
âYes, your big sister just mentioned she wanted to learn piano, so I bought her one, and tomorrow, I plan to find a teacher to start teaching her,â Ye Fan explained.
âOh, then I donât have anything particular I like; I just enjoy playingâis that considered a hobby?â Ye Jie responded to her father, with a serious face.
She seemed genuinely serious.
Ye Fan listened, his face covered in disbelief.
This little one, she was really bold to say that.
Was playing considered a hobby?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Does it mean he, as a father, should find many people to play with her or let her skip school to play all day? That was impossible.
