Taotao smiled, raised the almost kneaded dough in her hand, and said, "Dad, look, my sister taught us how to make steamed buns."
Looking at the flour dust everywhere on the table, it must have been caused by three children.
Normally at Mu's house, they don't need to do housework, but now they can see them helping Nian Mu so obediently. Although it is a mess, Mu Shaoling still feels strange in his heart.
This kind of life is the fireworks that a home should have.
Seeing the child's happy appearance, this kind of harmony seemed to be missing him. Mu Shaoling touched the child's head and asked, "Why don't you use a bread machine to knead the dough?"
Nian Mu stood there and looked at him for a long time, then walked to the table and continued to knead the dough. While kneading the dough, he said: "Kneading the dough by hand will taste better than kneading it with a bread machine."
Ruanruan listened there and suddenly realized: "No wonder I think the buns made by the cook at home are not as delicious as those made by my mother."
Nian Mu paused. Is the mother she was talking about herself, or the fake Ruan Bai?
She glanced at Mu Shaoling unconsciously. The children said that he was dating Ruan Bai, and now the man himself appeared here. What about Ruan Bai...
As soon as Luan Ruan finished speaking, Zhan Zhan also said: "Well, I remember that when my mother used to make buns for us, she would also knead the dough with her hands."
They had certain memories of the past, but Taotao didn't. He flattened his lips and said, "Why do you all remember it, but I don't remember it either."
Ruanruan smiled and explained: "You were young back then, but your mother loved you the most."
Nianmu heard Ruanruan's words, and they sounded like before.
Because of what happened to Mu Shaoling before, she took extra care of Taotao. Even after he came back, she has always been like this. She wants to fill the regret of missing the five years of Zhan Zhanruanruan's growth from Taotao's growth.
Full.
Taotao kneaded the dough, nodded, and said: "I know my mother loves me the most, but that was all in the past. Now she has changed, and she is no longer like our mother."
His words caused several people to fall into silence.
Everyone in this room, except Taotao, knew that Ruan Bai was not the real Ruan Bai.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Taotao thought she had some insights. Then she looked at Mu Shaoling and asked, "Dad, why didn't mom come? Aren't you going on a date with her today?"
Mu Shaoling's expression never changed and he said directly: "She went on a trip."
Hearing this, Zhan Zhan exchanged a look with Ruanruan, and then placed the kneaded dough in front of Nian Mu, "Sister, do you think the dough is OK if it is kneaded like this?"
Nianmu kneaded the dough and felt it was almost done. He nodded and said, "That's enough, Zhan Zhan, you did a great job kneading it."
Being praised by her, Zhan Zhan's face turned red.
Then Ruanruan and Taotao also handed over the kneaded dough.
Nian Mu put all the dough in the oven for fermentation, and then cut some fruits for the children.
Because I didn't know they would come, I didn't prepare any snacks, just these fruits.
Mu Shaoling saw her busy with the child, as if she was the child's mother.
The children sat in a row on the sofa, neither noisy nor fussy, and ate the fruits she prepared obediently. Nianmu looked at this scene and felt satisfied in his heart. When he raised his eyes, he found that the man was looking at him.
She looked a little uncomfortable, rubbed her hands and asked: "Mr. Mu, do you want to eat fruit?"
"No need." Mu Shaoling shook his head and asked, "Why don't you see your brother?"
"He has something to do." Nian Mu replied. He had gone out early in the past two days, saying that he was going to carry out a task given by Abep, but he didn't know what the task was.
But he came back early every day, and there were no signs of injury from the struggle.
So Nian Mu is not too worried.
Mu Shaoling nodded.
Nian Mu turned on the TV and put the remote control into Luan Ruan's hand, "Ruan Ruan, you guys watch TV first. I'll prepare the fillings for the buns. You guys watch TV first."
Mu Shaoling hadn't asked to take the child away until now. She knew that he didn't plan to take the child away so soon. He probably wanted to stay here for lunch, so she continued to prepare.
"Okay, sister, do you need help?" Ruanruan asked sweetly.
"No need." Nianmu shook his head.
"If you are too busy, dad can help." Ruanruan continued, glanced at Mu Shaoling sitting on the single sofa, and said.
Nian Mu also glanced at the man on the single sofa. His tall figure occupied almost the same area of the sofa. She inexplicably remembered the past when they cooked together, and she inevitably felt melancholy in her heart.
Mu Shaoling's cooking skills were just like that. He could basically only do some cooking and couldn't really cook. However, he often felt distressed that he had to take care of several children and his own food when he came back from get off work. He would help in the kitchen whenever he could.
Now that I think about it, there are various practical reasons for the gap in status, and Nian Mu naturally feels sad.
She still loves Mu Shaoling, but she can't express her love no matter how much she loves, and she doesn't even have the qualifications to say it.
"No, my kitchen is small, I can do it by myself." After Nian Mu finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze and walked into the kitchen.
She naturally knows the child's taste. After she made some egg, leek and pork stuffing, she also made some cabbage stuffing, and pure meat stuffing, all of which the child likes.
It just takes time to make each kind of filling, which adds up to three times the time. However, thinking that both Mu Shaoling and the children will like to eat it, she will not feel tired no matter how long she cooks.
In the living room.
Zhan Zhan stood up and said to Mu Shaoling, "Dad, I have something to tell you."
He couldn't wait to find out what was happening to the woman pretending to be their mother.
Mu Shaoling nodded, stood up and walked to the balcony, saying, "The TV in the living room is loud, let's go to the balcony."
The two father and son walked to the balcony one after the other.
Mu Shaoling stood there, resting one hand on the railing of the balcony, and his eyes fell on the sandbags and boxing gloves hanging nearby.
It seems that Nian Mu usually exercises his boxing and kicking skills here.
"Dad, how did you handle that matter? Do you know the whereabouts of our mother?" Zhan Zhan asked.
Mu Shaoling calmed his restlessness and said: "Shuofeng and Qingyu are now investigating. They will soon figure out the whole thing and know where your mother is now."
Hearing this, Zhan Zhan nodded, "Uncle Shuofeng and Aunt Qingyu will definitely be able to find out, but if she suddenly isn't here, Grandpa will be suspicious..."
"I will tell others that she went on a trip, and no one will doubt what I say." Mu Shaoling said, and it was obvious that after approaching him, this fake Ruan Bai, in order not to be discovered, except for the relationship between the Mu family and others
