Chapter 386: Three hundred eighty-six Family Dinner_1

Seeing this, Teacher Zhang went ahead and accepted the bag of buns.

She simply said she would bring them back to share with the other teachers on duty in the office later.

Her main reason for accepting was that, in her memory, these buns weren’t really considered anything valuable.

At the street breakfast stalls, they sold for just fifty cents each.

Moreover, the families of the children who attended Little Sun Kindergarten were generally quite well-off.

All the parents were not exactly short on cash.

So, by that reasoning, a bag of buns didn’t even count as a small favor.

Therefore, she, as a teacher, didn’t feel any psychological burden about it.

However, if this Teacher Zhang standing before her knew that each of Gu Chen’s buns wasn’t being sold for fifty cents,

but for five yuan, and moreover, they were limited in quantity and only available for a limited time each day, she probably wouldn’t think the same way.

Of course, such matters were not something Gu Chen would say himself to spoil the mood.

As for sending food to this Teacher Zhang, it wasn’t that Gu Chen had any particular intentions.

The reason he did this was simply following the mindset of a parent.

It was just the simple thought of placating the teacher when nothing was amiss.

After all, the one teaching his daughter now wasn’t Dong Yuwei, and he didn’t really have any acquaintance with the other party.

On weekdays, Tiantian stayed at the school in a class with several dozen children.

So why should he expect the teacher to give special care to his own daughter?

Even though he wasn’t going to go out of his way to bring gifts to the teacher,

or beg the teacher to take extra care of his daughter,

trying to get familiar wasn’t a bad idea, as there was certainly no harm in it.

Gu Chen was always very willing to engage in acts that could foster a better relationship with just a few words, or curry favor with small gifts.

Sometimes, relationships and goodwill were built up little by little from these seemingly insignificant things.

After saying goodbye to the teacher with his daughter,

the two of them returned to the car and began to drive slowly towards their villa.

This was the downside of attending a high-end kindergarten.

Gu Chen rarely encountered traffic jams on the main roads of Chuan City,

but after dropping off and picking up his child, he was almost always stuck in traffic on the street outside the kindergarten.

Especially when he came across parents who weren’t very skilled drivers, the wait could be extended even further.

Tiantian, however, was very happy about this, and proceeded to lower the car window to enjoy the comfortable breeze.

She greeted her classmates as they passed by the car.

Seeing his daughter so cheerful, Gu Chen couldn’t help but show a relieved smile.

After being stuck for a while, they soon arrived home without further delay.

As soon as he had opened the door, Tiantian couldn’t contain her excitement and cheered.

She immediately tossed her pink Winnie-the-Pooh backpack to one side.

Then, barefoot, she hopped onto the soft sofa and started jumping.

"Daddy, I want to watch cartoons."

After a couple of jumps, Tiantian glanced at the clock on the wall and instantly said with a hopeful face.

"Then Tiantian, sit nicely in the living room and watch TV while Daddy starts to make dinner, okay?"

Gu Chen proposed to his daughter with a smile.

"Okay~ Daddy, go cook, Tiantian promises to wait nicely for Mommy to come home from work."

Tiantian, with a big cushion in her arms, sweetly told Gu Chen.

"Such a good girl, you truly are Daddy’s good daughter."

After turning on the TV, Gu Chen happily kissed his daughter on the forehead.

After that, he turned and went straight to the kitchen to start preparing dinner for the family.

Considering his wife would probably need at least two hours after getting off work,

if she had to work overtime, it might be even later.

Gu Chen thought it over and decided that starting with the soup seemed more appropriate.

He then rummaged through the fridge and found several fresh ribs.

Opting for a clear stewed rib soup seemed like a good choice.

Moreover, this dish wasn’t bothered by a wait; the longer it stewed, the richer the flavor became.

Additionally, on his way back, he had picked up a large black fish weighing over two pounds from the market.

Just perfect for making lychee baked fish for his wife and daughter as the main course.

After all, the calories in fish are much lower than those in pork.

This way, he could not only nourish his daughter but also not affect his wife’s grand plan of staying in shape.

The process of baking fish was also rather time-consuming, which was truly killing two birds with one stone.

As for the end, once Ji Pianran got off work,

he planned to simply whip up a home-style hot and sour cabbage, which could both stimulate the appetite and accompany the rice.

Both his daughter and his wife were fond of these tangy or sweet and tangy flavors.

Preparing this dish for dinner was sure to hit the spot.

For the main staple, Gu Chen planned to make some Japanese nori and plum rice balls later.

Not only did they taste delicious, but also during the shaping process,

Gu Chen could make little animal shapes, which his daughter would surely adore.

Having decided on the direction, Gu Chen started bustling about in the kitchen with clangs and clatters.

Two hours later,

Gu Chen was holding a mop, wiping the floor around the house.

His daughter sat on the living room sofa, swinging her little white feet,

while watching an animated film with great interest.

Then, they heard what seemed to be the sound of the door opening from the entrance.

Tang Tang immediately got excited, not even bothering to put on slippers.

She ran barefoot from the sofa to the door, happily shouting,

"Wow, Mommy, you’re back!"

"Yes, I came back a bit earlier today because it was so late yesterday.

Did Tang Tang miss Mommy during the day?"

Ji Pianran saw her adorably cute daughter standing in front of her and felt incredibly happy.

She immediately bent down and scooped her into her arms.

And Tang Tang, with her tender little hands, hugged Ji Pianran’s neck and landed a "smack" kiss on her cheek.

"Hmm! Of course, Tang Tang is always Mommy’s best baby."

Ji Pianran fondly stroked her daughter’s little head, her face full of gentleness.

She then took off her high heels and carried her daughter into the house.

As soon as she entered the living room and saw Gu Chen doing housework, Ji Pianran’s heart was filled with a touch of emotion.

"Honey, thank you for all your hard work at home."

But no sooner had she finished speaking than she smelled the faint scent of food in the house.

She couldn’t help swallowing her saliva, even though she had eaten countless delicacies outside,

she still felt like she could never get enough of her husband’s home cooking.

"Tired from work today? Come sit down and have dinner with Tang Tang, the dishes have actually been ready for a while.

I’ve been waiting for you to come back."

Seeing Ji Pianran like this, Gu Chen’s heart also warmed, and he said with a smile,
