Chapter 384: Picking up his daughter from school

Although there was really nothing to steal from Gu Chen's bakery, especially since he was currently in dire need of money,

after closing the shop, there wasn't a single coin in the till, but what if?

Besides, the room behind Shichimi-sai was empty, so Gu Chen thought it would be better to find someone to help him look after the shop.

That way, he would feel more at ease.

However, he waited and waited, until he had finished wrapping all the buns that he needed for tomorrow.

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

At one point, he even wondered if he was offering too low a salary.

But there was no time to think about it now, as it was almost 3pm.

Gu Chen quickly took all the buns into the system space and put them away.

Then she washed her hands, tidied up carefully, locked the shop door and drove straight to the kindergarten.

When Gu Chen arrived at the Little Sun Kindergarten, it was just about the right time.

Teacher Zhang Qianqian, whom she had met in the morning, had just arrived at the gate of the kindergarten.

As the afternoon dismissal bell rang, the children in the classroom suddenly became like unleashed wild dogs.

They all ran out of the classroom, each looking for the mother waiting in front of the gate to pick them up.

Gu Chen also got out of the car at this time, holding a pick-up card in her hand, with her daughter Tang Tang's photo printed on it.

But it didn't matter if she forgot to take it, after all, there were more than 300 children in the kindergarten.

It may sound like a lot, but the teachers teach here every day and have already become familiar faces to the parents.

And five- or six-year-olds are not stupid. It is impossible to lose a child when there are teachers looking after them.

'Teacher Zhang, I've come to pick up my child,'

Gu Chen said to Zhang Qianqian, who was standing at the door, with a polite smile on her face.

'Wow, Daddy!'

As soon as the words fell, a small figure came running towards him.

Then he threw himself into her arms and rubbed his face against hers.

'Tantan, my sweet girl, were you a good girl at kindergarten today?'

Gu Chen put her daughter directly on her shoulders and turned to her, smiling and asking.

'Yes! All the children at kindergarten were very good today!'

Hearing her father's words, the little girl nodded in agreement, looking determined.

Gu Chen petted her little head, then looked down at her clothes.

He saw that the pink princess dress had been stained.

He couldn't help but shake his head, a little amused and a little helpless. Children aged five or six are just at the age where they like to play and move around.

Clothes that were brand new would have to be washed after just one day of wear.

Fortunately, there were still several large wardrobes in his house that could be used for washing and changing, which his in-laws had bought for him.

But now it seems that she won't be able to relax when she gets home.

She'll just have to do all the rest of the housework first.

Fortunately, she has a little physical strength thanks to the system's rewards, and the miraculous effect of the spring water.

If someone else were in her shoes, they might not be able to keep up.

Gu Chen is now full of energy.

'Tantan, when you play with the kids tomorrow, you have to be careful.

Don't get your clothes too dirty, otherwise you'll look like a little mud monkey every day, and that wouldn't be pretty.'

Gu Chen said to his daughter with a smile.

For him, doing the laundry was no big deal. After all, his family had a washing machine, so he could just throw it in.

But it was most important that his daughter could maintain good hygiene habits.

Gu Chen didn't feel like he was failing as a teacher in this regard.

After all, there were dozens of children in his daughter's class, and the teacher was solely responsible for looking after them.

It is inevitable that there will be some areas that cannot be taken care of.

'Yes! Daddy, I remember~'

Tang Tang gave a sweet smile and nodded at him obediently.

Watching this heartwarming scene between father and daughter, Teacher Zhang, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but nod with relief.

To be honest, among all the parents, Gu Chen is undoubtedly the easiest to recognise.

After all, in other people's homes, it is either the mother or grandmother who comes.

Here, he is currently the only full-time dad who brings his child to the kindergarten gate.

Basically, he is the kind of person you just can't miss.

But Teacher Zhang still had her professional smile on her face, which made Gu Chen doubt.

Could it be that this teacher is the legendary reverse face paralysis?

While others with face paralysis can't make expressions, she only has one expression from beginning to end.

She doesn't even change it.

But although it seems quite fake, it seems that people nowadays like this kind of thing.

They generally feel that this expression is particularly international and looks very professional.

Some salespeople even practise it every day.

So Gu Chen could only keep his criticism to himself, not saying a word.

After all, he was not an idiot, and his daughter was still in the hands of others.

'By the way, Dad, I have to say that the apples you brought are really delicious.

The children in the garden all liked them very much today,'

Teacher Zhang finally had a little less of a fake smile when she saw Gu Chen, and then praised him sincerely.

The main reason is that not only do the children like them, she likes them too.

This also improved her impression of Gu Chen, a soft-hearted man whom she had despised for a long time.

Now she felt that apart from being good-looking, Gu Chen didn't seem to be as useless as she had previously thought.

'Hahaha, no, I'm originally from the countryside, so growing fruit is nothing.

Oh yes, I recently opened a new breakfast shop, which currently mainly sells buns.

I just made these before I came here. Teacher Zhang, you should take some home and try them.'

Hearing this, Teacher Zhang quickly waved his hand and said:

'Tantan's father, this is not allowed. Our school has a rule that teachers cannot accept any gifts from parents.

Otherwise, they will be punished. You cannot let me make a mistake.'

Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and then she said again:

'Teacher Zhang, you're wrong. If I really wanted to give you a gift,

I've never heard of someone giving someone a bun, have I?

Besides, I made it myself, I didn't buy it from outside.

It's not worth much, and you work so hard with the children during the day.

Just consider it a small token of my appreciation as a parent, and by the way, you can try my cooking.'

After hearing him say this, Tangtang, who was currently in his arms, also spoke up.

'Teacher, please accept them. My father owns a bakery, and we have a lot of buns at home.

And my father is a really good cook. Mum always says to Tang Tang:

Even the chefs in five-star hotels can't cook half as well as my father.'
