Lu Wanqing also saw Xiao Shushu talking to her classmates. She suddenly realized that Xiao Shushu might have a good relationship with her peers at kindergarten. She had friends!
This realization made Lu Wanqing even happier than before. Xiao Shushu was so adorable!
"Shushu, come here!" Lu Wanqing thought, and waved at Xiao Shushu inside the kindergarten.
Seeing her mommy calling her, Xiao Shushu immediately became excited. She said goodbye to the girl beside her and waved goodbye to the teacher. Then, carrying her backpack, she happily ran towards Lu Wanqing and Yu Nong.
"Mommy, Daddy!" Little Yu Shu looked at Lu Wanqing and Yu Nong, her grape-like beautiful eyes shining brightly, full of joy.
Lu Wanqing was also incredibly happy. She bent down, opened her arms, happily tucked her hands under Shushu's armpits, and lifted the child up.
"Welcome home, Shushu!" Lu Wanqing looked down and kissed her child, saying happily.
Little Yu Shu was also stunned. Then, her little face turned red at a visible speed. She was a little shy and glanced around awkwardly. When she noticed many children secretly looking at her and her mommy, her little cheeks turned even redder.
But her little hands couldn't help but hold onto her mommy tighter, unwilling to let go. Before, everyone had both a father and a mother, but she only had a father, not a mommy. Although her mommy woke up later, for special reasons, she had to go to another child's home first and couldn't come to their house. She had always missed mommy, oh, how she missed mommy!
"Shushu's mommy is so beautiful!"
"Yes, and she's hugging Shushu!"
From the side, children's hushed voices of admiration could be heard.
Little Yu Shu heard them and couldn't help but curl her lips. Her head rested on her mommy's shoulder. She secretly turned her head to look at the classmates who had just spoken. Their eyes met, and she clearly saw the envious and encouraging gazes from her classmates. Little Yu Shu suddenly felt even happier. It felt so good to have mommy.
The hovercar soon arrived. Yu Nong looked at Lu Wanqing and asked in a muffled voice, "Are you taking Shushu home, or will she come with me to the Academy of Sciences?"
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Lu Wanqing's mind suddenly went blank. She looked at Yu Nong blankly. What did he mean by that? Was Yu Nong not planning to go home yet? He hadn't finished work and still had to work?
Little Yu Shu seemed to understand. She hugged her mommy's neck and said seriously, "Mommy, Daddy still has to go back to work. He usually works overtime until six in the afternoon."
Lu Wanqing understood now. But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Mu Jie worked at her own company, so it was fine if he left work a little earlier in the afternoon. Besides, the Mu family had a studio at home, and Mu Jie could do some work at home.
However, Zhong Li Feiyu and Yu Nong both had established positions. Previously, Zhong Li Feiyu didn't have time to pick up the children after school, and the task of picking them up and dropping them off was always done by Steward Xiao. Zhong Li Feiyu would return home after some time, and by calculating the time, it would be around six in the afternoon.
So, was Yu Nong similar?
Taking a child to work sounded like a very tiring and helpless situation. Before, it was only Yu Nong alone. Now that she was here, perhaps she could share some of the burden?
Lu Wanqing quickly figured it out. She looked at Yu Nong and said seriously, "I'll take Shushu home first. You can come back after you finish work."
Yu Nong nodded and then looked at Shushu.
Little Shushu immediately hugged her mommy's neck and said in a crisp voice, "Okay, I'll go home with Mommy!"
"Okay," Yu Nong agreed with Shushu.
The matter was thus settled. Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then I'll take her home first. You go back to work."
"Alright," Yu Nong agreed.
Lu Wanqing called her hovercar and got in with the child. Yu Nong watched their hovercar start and leave. Then, he turned back to his own hovercar, started it, and returned to the Academy of Sciences to continue his work.
After they parted, Lu Wanqing had no idea what was happening with Yu Nong. As she sat in the hovercar with Xiao Shushu, her mood became a little complex.
"Mommy, Teacher assigned homework for arts and crafts," Little Yu Shu suddenly said.
"What?" Lu Wanqing was stunned. She lowered her gaze and looked at the child curiously.
Lu Wanqing quickly reacted. Arts and crafts. Ah, right. Kindergartens often had various parent-child activities, and arts and crafts were one of the most common forms.
However, as she understood it and looked at Little Yu Shu, she was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that after more than three thousand years, there would still be such common parent-child interaction sessions in human children's classrooms!
"What kind of arts and crafts?" The next second, Lu Wanqing also became happy. She looked at the child expectantly.
Seeing that her mommy was also curious, Little Yu Shu immediately opened her small backpack and took out her learning board.
Little Shushu was much more proactive. She immediately poured out everything she had learned at school that day like beans from a bamboo tube. The main point was that the teacher taught them to recognize characters and objects in class today. They learned about many things from ancient Earth times, including lanterns.
"Mommy, are lanterns something from your era? Can you make them?" Little Yu Shu finished speaking and looked at her mommy with great anticipation.
Lanterns. Lu Wanqing smiled and rubbed the little one's head. "The origin of lanterns is even earlier than my era. In my time, they were considered ancient. However, I can make lanterns."
"Mhm!" Little Yu Shu immediately replied happily.
Back home, Lu Wanqing took the child upstairs, then took out paper, pens, a craft knife, and glue. Little by little, she taught the little one how to make lanterns.
A small paper lantern, Lu Wanqing made one in a few minutes. Then, she spent another half hour teaching Little Yu Shu. The little one was overjoyed after learning. Holding the lantern she made and looking at the lantern her mommy made, she was extremely happy!
"Mommy, you're so smart! If it were Daddy, it would probably take him a whole day to learn!!!" Little Yu Shu looked happily at the lantern for a long time. Finally, she turned her head to look at her mommy, saying happily.
It was just a small lantern, and Little Shushu was so happy. Lu Wanqing found it a little amusing.
However, Shushu's words made Lu Wanqing realize something else: even if it took a whole day to learn, Yu Nong would patiently accompany the child to do her arts and crafts homework.
She suddenly realized that in terms of being a father, Yu Nong might indeed be more qualified than Mu Jie and Zhong Li Feiyu. It was no wonder the child's eyes sparkled.
"Mommy can not only make small lanterns but also small flowers and small animals," Lu Wanqing thought, and suddenly felt like showing off her skills in front of Little Yu Shu.
Lu Wanqing picked up the remaining paper on the table and started creating. Beautiful shore flowers, lotuses, cute dragonflies, butterflies, grasshoppers – one by one, the flowers and small animals appeared vividly and adorably on the desk.
Little Yu Shu's eyes widened. She stared at the things her mommy had folded in amazement. Mommy was so amazing!
