Garden Day is a parent-child activity organized by the school, and parents are required to participate with their children.
It's just that now Ruan Bai is sick and lying on the bed, and Mu Shaoling doesn't seem to be able to leave.
"I'm going to attend." Mu Shaoling said, regarding the garden party, he had promised his children that he would definitely attend. "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, there is a nanny watching over here. I'll send you back first."
Considering that they didn't sleep all night, he didn't worry about letting the two old people drive back.
"I'll take care of Xiaobai in the hospital." Zhou Qing shook her head, she was worried that Ruan Bai's condition was repeated.
Lin Wenzheng also echoed, "Yes, we'll just watch over here, Shaoling, you go to Taotao's school first."
Hearing this, Mu Shaoling didn't insist anymore, and after a few words of advice to the nanny who came to change shifts, he left the hospital.
Uncle Zhang must have sent the children to school, so he directly picked up the car and drove to Taotao's school.
When Mu Shaoling arrived, the garden party was about to start. The teacher who was waiting at the school gate was surprised when he saw him approaching. He stepped forward to greet him with a smile and said, "Mr. Mu, welcome to the garden party. Please come inside."
Mu Shaoling nodded and followed behind the teacher.
This is an international school, and the children who come to study here are from very good families, either rich or noble. Walking through groups of people, he noticed that most of the people who came to the garden party were not the children's parents.
Judging by their attire, they looked like babysitters in a child's family, and there were very few people like him who came to participate in person.
Taotao saw Mu Shaoling from a distance, ran over and hugged his thigh, "Dad, you're here, I thought you weren't here."
Taotao's face was full of surprises, his head was raised and his eyes flickered. He didn't know that he had gone to the hospital until he woke up in the morning, and he didn't come back until after breakfast. He thought he was the only one in the garden party today.
"I promised you, I will definitely come." Mu Shaoling held the child's hand, "Which one is your booth?"
Since Ruan Bai was kidnapped, he has played the role of parents. Even if the fake Ruan Bai was taken home, the three children still did not enjoy much maternal love, so he has always played two roles.
There is less time for caring, but it doesn't mean there is no time.
"There!" Taotao pointed to his booth, which was arranged by Uncle Zhang with help, and the food for the charity sale was prepared by the cook.
"Come on, let's go there." Mu Shaoling nodded, took the child's hand and walked towards the booth.
The teacher standing aside looked at all this enviously, and sighed: "It's rare."
"What's so rare?" The principal who passed by heard her sigh and asked curiously.
The teacher pointed to Taotao's booth, "Director, most of the people in our garden party are nannies instead of their parents. It's really rare for a busy person like Mr. Mu to find time to attend the garden party. I can It can be seen that Mr. Mu really loves children."
She has worked here for several years. Many parents love their children, but they don't show it in their actions.
What kind of garden party and parents' meeting, they either meet the child's grandparents or the child's nanny, and when asked where their parents are, the answer is almost uniform, they are busy with business or on a business trip.
"This is Mr. Mu's youngest son. I heard that his wife suffered a lot when she was pregnant with this child. At that time, everyone thought that Mr. Mu died in an accident abroad, but his wife still insisted on giving birth to the child. Mr. Mu loves this child very much." The head of the school is a native of City A, and he remembers the events of that year clearly.
"No wonder, Taotao is so happy." The teacher sighed.
The head of the garden looked at her with envy, shook his head, and urged: "Okay, hurry up and get ready, the garden party is about to start."
"Yes, Principal." The teacher withdrew his gaze and continued to be busy with receiving the students' parents.
Standing in front of the booth, Mu Shaoling became a landscape, with all kinds of gazes from around him, his expression was indifferent and calm.
"Father, many people look at you." Taotao sighed.
Mu Shaoling patted the child's head. Although he didn't sleep all night, he was used to the high-intensity work, so he was still in good spirits. He asked, "What have you prepared?"
"Eat!" Taotao opened the lid and said, "Aunt the cook has prepared curry fish balls and nougat. Daddy, do you want some?"
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling sniffed the aroma of fish eggs, skewered a bunch of them, and ate them.
"Is it delicious?" Tao Tao raised his head and asked.
"Not bad." Mu Shaoling replied, the cook of Mu's family was good at cooking.
Taotao said with a smile: "If Sister Nianmu made it, it would be more delicious."
Mu Shaoling: "..."
He found out that Taotao likes Nianmu very much, and when talking to him, he always mentions Nianmu's name by accident.
"Father, can I eat at Sister Nianmu's place more often in the future?" Taotao simply discussed with him.
Nianmu's cooking is delicious, but Mu's cook's cooking is not bad either. Mu Shaoling thought deeply, why does Taotao like to cling to Nianmu so much?
"Dad, is it okay?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Taotao asked again.
"It's not good to disturb others like this." Mu Shaoling shook his head.
"My sister didn't treat me as an outsider. I like my sister, and my sister also likes me. Otherwise, as long as my sister agrees, you can let me go there, okay?" Taotao said.
"Okay." Mu Shaoling compromised, the child's observation skills were not as sharp as his, and he always felt that Nian Mu didn't welcome him.
Therefore, she should not agree.
"It's great, Dad, you don't have time to take care of us recently, and I will go to Sister Nianmu's house for dinner with my brothers and sisters." Taotao clapped his hands happily.
"Why don't I have time to take care of you?" Hearing the child's complaining words, Mu Shaoling ate the last fish egg, sat on the chair, and looked at him.
"Isn't Mom in the hospital? Dad, you must take care of her." Taotao watched him finish eating the fish balls, feeling greedy, picked up a nougat, opened it, and put it in his mouth.
Speaking of Ruan Bai who was hospitalized, there was no sadness or worry in his eyes.
Mu Shaoling previously thought that Ruan Bai had lost his memory to be so alienated from the child, and the child didn't like to get close to her.
Now he understood that she was not their mother in the first place, so it was reasonable not to kiss her.
Even if Taotao is willing to call her mother occasionally, there is no intimacy in her eyes.
Mu Shaoling patted Taotao's head.
Taotao still wanted to mention Nianmu, but the director's speech interrupted him.
After the principal spoke, the garden party began.
Taotao's stall was very popular, and within a short while, all the fish balls and nougat were sold out.
