Seeing Nian Mu's entangled look, Mu Shaoling set up a ladder next to an osmanthus tree.
"Have you figured out how to hang up?" he asked with a smile.
Nian Mu shook his head, indicating that he had encountered difficulties.
When Mu Shaoling saw this, he squeezed her hand and said, "Actually, the garden designer had reserved a good place at the beginning."
Nian Mu was surprised and said: "Really?"
In terms of garden layout, she is definitely not as good as the designer. If they have reserved space, as long as they install it according to the reserved space, the effect will be very good.
"Aunt Wu, connect the plug outside the entrance." Mu Shaoling took out a string of lanterns from the bag and handed the plug direction to Aunt Wu.
"Okay, sir." Aunt Wu took it, walked outside the inner room, and inserted the excuse.
Nian Mu noticed some small hooks outside the wall. He originally thought they were small decorative items, but he didn't expect that these small lanterns could be hung.
She could already imagine how beautiful it would be when the lanterns were turned on at night.
After Aunt Wu hung up the first string of lights, she picked up the second string of lights and hung them up along the hanging points left by the designer.
She didn't stop until she reached the garden and gave the rest to Mu Shaoling.
Mu Shaoling took the lantern and looked at Nian Mu, "Help me hold the ladder."
"Okay." Nianmu stepped forward and held the ladder.
Mu Shaoling climbed up.
Nian Mu whispered: "Mr. Mu, be careful and pay attention to safety."
"I'm sure nothing will happen if you hold on." Mu Shaoling said, finding the small hook left by the designer from the hanging flower tree, and then hung the lantern on it.
After hanging it, he climbed down the stairs, followed the position left by the designer, and continued to hang it in other places.
Half an hour later, the garden was also decorated.
Aunt Wu turned on the switch. Although it was daytime, the colored lights were already flashing. It was not very bright, but it could be seen that it was festive and beautiful.
"You're so beautiful, Dad, you're awesome!" Ruanruan turned around and gave Mu Shaoling a thumbs up.
"Dad is awesome!" Taotao looked at Mu Shaoling with admiration.
Mu Shaoling looked at the colorful lanterns all over the garden and felt a sense of accomplishment.
When I asked the designer to design this courtyard, I considered that Nian Mu liked these gadgets, especially during the Chinese New Year, and liked to put up lanterns and decorations the most, so when designing, I asked the designer to keep these designs, so that it would be convenient for him to hang the lights.
.
Mu Shaoling looked at Nian Mu who was slowly walking over. Snow fell on her shoulders, dotted with some pure white, "Do you like it?"
"I like it, it's so pretty." Nian Mu's lips were filled with a smile, and the small design left by the designer had an absolute sense of beauty.
Aunt Wu looked at them, with the corners of her mouth raised, and she said, "Sir, Madam, I'll prepare lunch first."
"Aunt Wu, let me prepare lunch. You can go back to spend time with your family on vacation as soon as possible." Nian Mu shook his head. Aunt Wu had officially started her vacation after finishing her shift this morning.
"Is that okay?" Aunt Wu was a little surprised.
"It's already New Year's Eve. I believe your family is waiting for you to go back. Get off work, Aunt Wu." Nian Mu said with a gentle smile.
"Get off work, Aunt Wu, you have worked hard this year." Mu Shaoling took out a red envelope from his pocket.
When he got up in the morning, he prepared a red envelope and planned to give it to Aunt Wu before she got off work as a thank you payment.
When Aunt Wu saw the red envelope handed over, she quickly shook her head and said, "Boss, I can't help it. I can't take your red envelope."
"You have worked at the Mu family for a whole year, so you should accept this red envelope. This is a New Year red envelope for you." Mu Shaoling said, there are nannies on duty at the Mu family in turns.
But here he discussed with Nian Mu that there was nothing particularly important during the New Year, so he let Aunt Wu take the holidays to spend time with her family.
"Sir, you have already given me a bonus." Aunt Wu felt ashamed but still refused to accept it.
"Aunt Wu, just accept it. This is not a bonus, this is a red envelope. I heard from Mr. Mu that every nanny who worked in the Mu family would get one during the Chinese New Year," Nian Mu said.
That's Mr. Mu's tradition.
Although Aunt Wu is no longer a helper in the old house, this tradition cannot be lost.
Seeing this, Aunt Wu accepted the red envelope and thanked them, "Thank you, sir, thank you, Ms. Nian."
"A Liang is already waiting outside. He is responsible for sending you back. Happy Chinese New Year, Aunt Wu." Mu Shaoling arranged everything well.
He always looks at people's actions. If Aunt Wu treats Nian Mu and his children sincerely, he will not treat her badly.
Nian Mu took a breath and said, "It's too cold outside, shall we go in?"
"Okay." Mu Shaoling nodded, holding Zhan Zhan and Ruanruan, while Taotao took the initiative to hold Nian Mu's hand and skipped back to the back room.
When they returned to the back room, the first thing they did was to take off their coats to prevent the snow falling on their shoulders from melting and getting the clothes inside wet.
Nian Mu looked at the three children and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch today?"
"Sister, we eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. I want to eat dumplings!" Taotao raised her hand. Although she said that she could eat dumplings when she returned to her old house, they were not made by Nian Mu, so they lost the taste of home.
He wants to eat what she cooks.
"Dumplings, okay, no problem." Nian Mu agreed. Aunt Wu had said before that because she wanted to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, she bought flour for making dumpling wrappers in the supermarket, as well as the minced meat that had been mixed.
She glanced at the time and realized there was still time to do it. "Then you guys watch the animation for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the dumplings."
"Awesome!" Taotao clapped her hands, and the other two children also smiled.
They love to eat dumplings made by Nian Mu the most.
Mu Shaoling also walked into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to Nian Mu. She was making noodles, "Can I help you?"
Nian Mu was startled and looked at him, "Mr. Mu, can you knead dough?"
"It's not big, why don't you just rub it?" Mu Shaoling asked.
Nian Mu: "..."
She added an egg to the dough, then added an appropriate amount of water, and said, "How about I do it."
"If it takes too long, the child will be hungry. What do you need me to do?" Mu Shaoling said that he could help, although kitchen work was not his strong point.
Seeing his insistence, Nian Mu said: "Then wash the leeks and cut them into small pieces."
"Is this the one?" Mu Shaoling had eaten leeks before, but this was his first real contact with complete leeks.
Nian Mu took a look and confirmed: "Yes, cut into small pieces, just...the kind used to make dumplings."
"I have eaten leek dumplings." Mu Shaoling returned. She tried to be more detailed when she said it because she was worried that he could not cut it well.
He has never seen a pig run away, but he has also eaten pork.
After eating leek dumplings, he still knows how to change the leeks inside.
