At this time, there were only two children left in the kindergarten who had not been picked up, and one was Taotao.
Nianmu walked over.
The kindergarten teacher looked at Nian Mu and asked, "Are you from the Taotao family?"
The teacher hesitated and wanted to say nanny, but the woman's temperament and clothing in front of her were different from those of nanny.
"Hello, teacher, I am Mr. Mu's subordinate. He has something to do today, so he asked me to pick up the child." Nian Mu explained, extending his hand towards the child.
Taotao held the hand directly.
"Is that so?" the teacher asked the child.
"Yes, teacher, my sister and I are very familiar with each other. If you don't believe me, you can call my dad." Taotao knew that kindergartens do not allow strangers to pick up children.
For the safety of the child, the teacher checked with Mu Shaoling and then asked Nian Mu to take the child away.
Taotao raised her head and looked at Nianmu, with a smile on her face, "Sister, why are you here to pick me up?"
"Mr. Mu is busy with work, and Uncle Zhang may also be busy, so I'm here to pick you up. Why, aren't you happy that I'm picking you up?" Nian Mu held his hand tightly and stood on the roadside waiting for a taxi.
"I'm happy, of course I'm happy. Sister, do you want to take me back to your home or mine?" Taotao asked, what she wanted in her heart was to go to her home.
Because the food cooked by Nian Mu is delicious.
"Come to my house and I'll cook for you. What do you want to eat?" Nianmu looked at the child. It was his own child. How could he not know what he was thinking?
"I want to eat braised pork ribs, and..." Taotao paused and looked up at her, "Sister, aren't you injured? It's better to stop cooking."
"I'm already fine. Look, I went to work today and didn't have anything to do. Besides braised pork ribs, what else do you want to eat?" Nian Mu asked, twisting his waist to show that he was fine.
The injury on her waist was not serious to begin with, but she felt a little uncomfortable in the past few days. She could not sit still, and lying down was the most comfortable. But after taking medicine a few times and applying ointment, she was much better.
"Also, shrimp." Taotao's eyes lit up, she was fine, which meant she was in good luck.
Nian Mu nodded in agreement, took his children to a nearby supermarket to do some shopping, and then returned to the apartment.
She first put the ingredients into the kitchen and then urged Taotao to do her homework.
Taotao is very well-behaved, neither crying nor fussing. She picks up her homework and starts writing seriously. If she doesn't understand, she will automatically leave it for Nianmu to answer when the time comes.
Seeing the child's well-behaved appearance, she smiled with satisfaction.
It would be great if life in the future could be as peaceful as now.
"Taotao, you do your homework obediently first, and I'll cook. There will be food later." Nian Mu warned.
"Okay sister." Taotao looked up and smiled at her, then lowered her head and continued to do her homework.
Nianmu walked into the kitchen and started cooking for the child.
The dishes Taotao orders are relatively complicated to prepare, but she cooks them carefully and without any ambiguity.
She knows that her children like to eat the food she cooks so much. Not only is it delicious, but more importantly, the food she cooks has the taste of her mother.
After cooking, Nianmu and Taotao ate together.
The food was still delicious, and the two of them had a full meal.
At eight o'clock, there was no news from Mu Shaoling. Nian Mu remembered what he said, so she picked up Taotao's homework book and checked it for him.
It was past nine o'clock, and there was still no news about Mu Shaoling.
Taotao sat on the sofa. After watching the cartoon, she asked Nianmu, "Sister, will my father not come to pick me up today?"
Nian Mu looked at the time and saw that it was indeed getting late, but there was no news about Mu Shaoling yet.
She picked up the phone, thinking that Mu Shaoling might be busy, and finally put it down.
"Are you sleepy?" Nian Mu touched the child's head and looked at him lovingly.
Taotao shook her head and said she was not sleepy yet.
Nian Mu stood up, walked to the nanny's room, and opened the closet. There were two boxes inside. In his memory, they contained Mu Shaoling's clothes.
He said there were clothes from Taotao inside, so she opened it and looked for it, and sure enough, she found clothes for children in another box.
Nianmu took it out and took a look, it was Taotao's clothes.
She came over with a change of clothes and said, "Taotao, why don't you take a shower first?"
Taotao nodded obediently, accepted her suggestion, and walked into the bathroom with her clothes.
Nian Mu wanted to help him drain the water, but he stopped him. "Sister, I can do it myself."
Looking at such a sensible child, she was slightly stunned. Yes, three years have passed and the child has grown up.
Taotao is no longer the child who needs help to take a bath. Although she still likes to stick to herself, her name has changed.
Everything here has changed.
Nianmu watched the child close the door and thought of Mu Shaoling. I wonder what he is busy with?
After Taotao took a shower, her hair was wet. Nianmu quickly took a hair dryer to help dry it, and then put Taotao's changed school uniform into the washing machine.
She didn't know if Mu Shaoling would come to pick up the child tonight. If not, if the clothes were not washed, the child would not have a uniform to wear when he goes to school tomorrow.
Taotao saw her busy with herself and couldn't help but said: "Sister, you are like my mother."
Nian Mu was stunned while pouring the laundry detergent, then turned back and smiled at the child, "What are you talking about?"
"My mother used to be so busy for my brothers and sisters. There was a nanny at home, but when it came to my brothers, sisters, and me, she always did it herself without any pretense." Taotao recalled the past, "At that time, I
What I want most is to grow up quickly, go to school, and watch my mother prepare my schoolbag and textbooks."
Nian Mu listened to what the child said, and found out that she was indeed capable of doing these things in the past.
After adjusting the mode and pressing the switch of the washing machine, she took Taotao's hand and walked to the sofa to sit down. The child would not be sleepy for about half an hour. She asked: "Do you want to listen to a story?"
Taotao nodded excitedly, "Yes! But my brothers and sisters also want to, and I want to listen with them."
"Well, I haven't recorded it yet. I'll record it while I'm talking to you now. After the recording is done, I'll send it to your brothers and sisters so they can hear it, okay?" Nianmu said.
"Okay, okay." Taotao nodded and clapped her hands. The story she had been thinking about for the past two days could finally be heard.
Nianmu took his hand and walked into the bedroom, took out the small pillow placed in the nanny's room for Taotao to rest on, and then started to tell him a story.
After talking for about half an hour, Taotao fell into a drowsy sleep.
Nian Mu looked at the time and saw that it was almost ten o'clock, but there was no news from Mu Shaoling yet.
