Chapter 385: 385 pick up daughter from school_1

Although there wasn’t much to steal in Gu Chen’s bun shop, especially since he was particularly short on cash right now.

After closing the shop, there wasn’t even a steel penny in the counter, but what if?

Besides, the room behind Qiwei Vegetarian was empty anyway, and Gu Chen felt it would be better to find someone to help him watch the shop.

That would make him feel even more at ease.

However, he waited and waited, until he had wrapped all the buns he needed for the next day.

But still no one came to apply for the job, which left him feeling slightly annoyed.

He even wondered at one point if the wages he was offering were too low?

But now there wasn’t much time to think about it as it was almost three in the afternoon.

Gu Chen hurriedly brought all the buns into the System Domain.

Then he washed his hands and tidied up carefully before he locked the shop door and drove straight to the kindergarten.

When Gu Chen arrived at Little Sun Kindergarten, the timing was just right.

Teacher Zhang Qianqian, whom he had met that morning, was just standing at the front gate of the kindergarten.

With the afternoon school bell ringing, the children in the classrooms suddenly ran out like a pack of wild dogs off the leash,

scattering to find their own mothers who were waiting to pick them up at the gate.

Gu Chen also got out of the car, holding a pickup card with his daughter Tangtang’s photo on it.

But actually, forgetfulness wouldn’t be a problem, as the kindergarten only had a bit over three hundred children.

It might seem like a lot, but the teachers see the parents every day, and they were already very familiar with them.

Moreover, five- or six-year-old kids aren’t silly; under a teacher’s supervision, it would be impossible to lose them.

"Teacher Zhang, I’m here to pick up my child,"

said Gu Chen, with a polite smile on his face, to Teacher Zhang standing at the entrance.

"Wow, Daddy!"

No sooner had his words fallen than a small figure came sprinting towards him,

and then threw herself into his arms, rubbing against his face.

"Tangtang, my darling daughter, were you a good girl in kindergarten today?"

Gu Chen put his daughter on his shoulder and turned to ask her with a smile.

"Yes! All the kids in kindergarten were very well-behaved today!"

Hearing her father’s words, the little girl promptly nodded and responded enthusiastically.

Gu Chen affectionately ruffled her little head and then looked down at her dress.

He saw that her pink princess dress was already stained with some dirt.

He couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head; five- or six-year-olds were at an age where they loved to play and move around.

A brand-new dress would need washing after just a day’s wear.

Fortunately, at home, he had several large closets full of changeable clothes, all purchased by his in-laws back then.

But looking at her now, it seemed he wouldn’t have a moment of rest when they got home.

He would take care of the remaining household chores first.

Luckily, there was the bit of physical enhancement awarded by the System, and then the miraculous effects of the Spirit Spring Water.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to maintain

Gu Chen’s current state of robust energy.

"Tangtang, you should be careful tomorrow when playing with the other kids.

You can’t get your clothes too dirty, okay? Otherwise, looking like a little muddy monkey every day is not pretty,"

said Gu Chen to his daughter with a smile.

Washing clothes wasn’t really an issue for him, as they had a washing machine at home, just toss them in and that’s it.

But it’s most important to cultivate in his daughter a good habit of cleanliness and hygiene.

Gu Chen didn’t think it constituted a lack of duty on the teacher’s part.

After all, with dozens of children in a single class, the teacher had only one pair of eyes to watch them all.

It was inevitable that some things would get overlooked.

"Mhm! Daddy, I got it~"

Tangtang gave a sweet smile and nodded obediently at him.

Witnessing such a heartwarming scene between father and daughter, Teacher Zhang, standing to the side, couldn’t help but nod in contentment as well.

It must be said that among all the parents, Gu Chen was undoubtedly the easiest to recognize.

After all, in other families, it was usually the mother or grandmother who came.

Here, he was the only full-time dad with a child, standing at the entrance of the kindergarten.

He was basically the kind who you couldn’t miss even if you wanted to.

Teacher Zhang’s face still wore her professional smile, which made Gu Chen even suspect.

Could she be the legendary reverse expressionless person?

While others with expressionless faces couldn’t make expressions, she had just this one expression from beginning to end.

Without a single change.

However, fake as it might look, it seemed people nowadays actually liked this sort of thing.

Most found this expression to be very international, giving off a particularly professional vibe.

There were even some salespeople who practiced it daily.

So Gu Chen could only mock it inwardly; it would be impossible to say it out loud.

After all, his daughter was still in their care, and he wasn’t foolish.

"By the way, Tangtang’s dad, I have to say, those apples you brought were really delicious.

The kids in the kindergarten were all incredibly fond of them today."

Seeing Gu Chen, Teacher Zhang’s smile finally lost a bit of its falsity, and she praised him sincerely.

Mainly because not only did the children love them, but she loved them too.

Even her impression of Gu Chen, whom she had looked down on for a long time as a freeloader, improved slightly.

Now she felt that in addition to being handsome, Gu Chen was perhaps not as useless as she had originally thought.

"Hahaha, oh no, that’s nothing. I’m originally from the countryside, so growing good fruit isn’t much of an achievement.

Oh right, I recently opened a breakfast shop, mainly selling steamed buns.

These are freshly made before I came here, Teacher Zhang, you should take some back and try them too."

Hearing what he said, Teacher Zhang quickly waved her hands and said.

"Tangtang’s dad, this won’t do. We have rules in the kindergarten, teachers aren’t allowed to accept any gifts from parents.

If we do, we’ll get penalized, you can’t make me commit a mistake."

Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh and then urged her again.

"You see, Teacher Zhang, that’s not right to say. If I really wanted to give a gift,

I wouldn’t be giving out steamed buns, would I?

Plus I made these with my own hands, not bought from outside.

They’re not worth much, and you work so hard with the children during the day.

Consider it a small token of appreciation from a parent, and at the same time, you can see how my cooking is."

Hearing him say this, Tangtang, who was nestled in his arms, also spoke up.

"Teacher, please accept it. My daddy owns a steamed bun shop. We have lots and lots of buns at home.

And my daddy is a particularly good cook. Mommy always says to Tangtang,

Even chefs from five-star hotels can’t make food half as delicious as what my daddy cooks."
