Lu Wanqing folded them up and pushed all the small items in front of the child, looking expectantly at Little Yu Shu and smiling, "Do you like them?"
"I like them!" Little Yu Shu nodded heavily, answering with great happiness.
So many things!
How did Mommy fold so many things!
"Mommy is so amazing!" Little Yu Shu hugged the stack of paper crafts and couldn't help but praise her.
Lu Wanqing raised her hand and ruffled the top of the little one's head, smiling and saying, "Well, Shu Shu, do you have any homework? Do you want to do some homework?"
Upon hearing this, Little Yu Shu remembered and quickly said, "I need to take care of the plants!"
As soon as Little Yu Shu finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that it seemed to be early today?
She usually spent a long time with her father at the Academy of Sciences, and only went to care for the plants after her father got off work and returned home.
"Okay, then let's go see your plants." Lu Wanqing, not expecting the time difference, stood up and said.
Little Yu Shu quickly forgot about the time issue and immediately agreed happily, "Okay!"
The mother and daughter went downstairs together to the glass greenhouse to look after Little Yu Shu's plants. However, when they reached the downstairs, Lu Wanqing unexpectedly heard Madam Yu's laughter.
There were guests at home?
And they were guests who got along well with Madam Yu?
Lu Wanqing was a little surprised and also a little curious. With Madam Yu being poisoned and in a bad mood, who could be on good terms with her?
Little Yu Shu didn't seem to find this strange, but her steps downstairs became more careful, and she lowered her voice.
Lu Wanqing also lowered her voice and went downstairs with Little Yu Shu.
However, their movement downstairs wasn't completely silent. As soon as they came down, the people in the living room looked up and at them. To be precise, their gazes fell directly on Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing also saw the other person clearly. It was a woman of a similar age to her. Her features were regular, and she had a strong aura, giving the first impression of an independent and capable woman!
The next moment, the woman stood up. She walked towards Lu Wanqing and said with a smile, "Miss Lu, my surname is An. Everyone usually calls me Zhi Zhi. I heard that it's finally your turn to come to the Yu family to take care of Shu Shu this year. Shu Shu is still young, so I'll trouble you to work harder for the next year."
Lu Wanqing: "???"
"It's not hard. Shu Shu is my child. Taking care of her is my responsibility and something I enjoy doing," Lu Wanqing immediately replied.
She lowered her eyes to look at Little Shu Shu beside her and found that Little Shu Shu was more nervous than usual. She couldn't help but raise her hand and gently stroke the top of Shu Shu's head.
After experiencing the matters at the Mu family before and later at the Zhongli family, Lu Wanqing had to be wary of women who suddenly appeared.
After a brief exchange of words, it seemed there was nothing more to say for the moment.
Lu Wanqing was silent for a moment, then she led the child to look at Madam Yu not far away. She took the initiative to greet her, "Madam, Shu Shu wants to see the plants. I'll take her to the glass greenhouse to have a look."
Little Yu Shu looked at Madam Yu and spoke nervously, "Grandma."
Madam Yu frowned unhappily and said, "If you want to leave, then leave. Why are you telling me!" She was impatient and didn't seem to want to bother with them at all.
Lu Wanqing's heart sank, but she didn't bother to argue with someone who was poisoned. She lowered her eyes to look at Little Yu Shu and smiled, "Shu Shu, let's go."
Lu Wanqing took Little Yu Shu out of the living room and didn't look back at the situation inside.
After leaving the living room, Little Yu Shu still didn't seem happy. Her face, no bigger than a palm, was furrowed, and her small mouth was slightly pouted, clearly showing her unhappiness.
Lu Wanqing looked at the little one like this and inexplicably found her adorable. She almost couldn't resist reaching out and pinching the child's plump cheeks, but considering the child might be truly upset, she restrained herself.
In a blink, they arrived at the glass greenhouse.
Admittedly, Lu Wanqing really liked plants, especially the mutated flowers and grasses of the interstellar era. It was novel to see them once, and even more so the second time; she still loved them and wanted to see them!
Upon reaching the greenhouse, Lu Wanqing couldn't wait to go in. She couldn't help but walk around inside, looking at all the plants. "They are really beautiful. Our Little Shu Shu is amazing for growing so many beautiful plants!"
As Lu Wanqing said these words, she was also carefully observing Little Yu Shu's expression. Her well-behaved daughter usually loved hearing her mother's praise. A single word of praise from her mother could make her happy for a long time. Lu Wanqing hoped to subtly cheer up her good daughter.
Little Yu Shu's expression didn't change; she still looked unhappy.
Lu Wanqing felt complicated. She wasn't quite sure who that An Zhi Zhi was, but seeing Little Shu Shu like this, perhaps she wasn't someone the child liked?
She had only just arrived at the Yu family and didn't understand the situation, so she couldn't offer any opinions. Lu Wanqing didn't know what else to say for a moment.
"Shu Shu, do the plants need watering?" Lu Wanqing thought and couldn't help but say.
Perhaps doing something could divert her attention?
Little Shu Shu nodded, "Okay."
Despite doing this task, Little Yu Shu's mood was clearly off throughout the afternoon.
After spending some time in the glass greenhouse, Lu Wanqing took the child back to the room. She didn't know who An Zhi Zhi was, but she had such a big impact on the child's mood. However, she didn't want to ask the child for now. The child's emotional reaction to that An Zhi Zhi was too strong. Asking her might bring up things she didn't like and make her even more upset.
It would be better to wait for Yu Nong to return and ask him.
As Lu Wanqing was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Wanqing was startled and looked towards the door, only to see Aunt Zhang.
"Miss Lu, are you cooking for yourself tonight? I need to make a communication to order ingredients from the Academy of Sciences. Is there anything you'd like?" Aunt Zhang asked.
Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."
However...
"Can you only order ingredients by communication?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask. It was already the interstellar era, weren't there more convenient ways, like ordering online and shopping?
"You can also shop online, but you have to pay for it," Aunt Zhang said.
Lu Wanqing understood immediately and quickly said, "Then let's order by communication. Let me think about it..."
Aunt Zhang had arrived suddenly, and Lu Wanqing hadn't thought of what to cook for dinner yet.
However, Lu Wanqing soon remembered something. Little Yu Shu was in a bad mood; perhaps taking her out for a walk would help?
"Can I go out and pick them myself? Just like yesterday," Lu Wanqing thought, then said to Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang was taken aback at the suggestion, then quickly nodded, "Yes, of course. It will be a bit more trouble."
Lu Wanqing smiled and explained, "It doesn't matter. I can take Shu Shu out for a walk and clear her head."
Aunt Zhang quickly understood. Miss An had visited earlier, and Miss Shu Shu was in a bad mood; she could see that.
Aunt Zhang suddenly became happy. She felt that Miss Lu was thoughtful. After all, she was the child's mother and cared about her.
"Okay, but Miss Lu, please pay attention to the time. Dinner cannot be too late, or Madam will be unhappy," Aunt Zhang reminded her again.
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed.
