Daddy's Gourmet Shop
Chapter 516 - 504: Sure Enough, Being Handsome Means Someone Always Has Their Eye on You
At 4:10 in the afternoon, Golden Sun Kindergarten let out on time.
As soon as she saw Huang Tao, Xuanxuan couldn’t hide her delight and wore a slightly proud expression, announcing to him, "Daddy, I got five little red flowers again today!"
Her face was saying, "Praise me already!"
Many nearby parents heard this and looked at Huang Tao with envy.
Damn.
Whose daughter is this outstanding!
Upon seeing clearly it was Huang Tao and Xuanxuan, they showed an expression of realization, "Oh, it’s Huang Tao’s daughter! No wonder she’s so excellent."
And Huang Tao gave a thumbs up and praised, "Wow~ You’re amazing, my darling!"
Then he couldn’t wait and asked, "Quick, tell Daddy, how did you earn those five little red flowers?"
Xuanxuan’s little face was full of pride as she explained, "Two flowers are from winning an art award, and three are for exceptional behavior. It’s because I cleaned my plate at lunch, took a good nap, and answered questions correctly during games in the afternoon."
Golden Sun Kindergarten encourages the children to study hard and perform well at school.
So their homeroom teacher evaluates their performance during school hours.
And the way they are evaluated, of course, is by giving little red flowers!
For example, if you’re excellent in every aspect for a day and don’t cause any trouble, you can get a little red flower.
If you listen attentively during class and bravely raise your hand to speak, you can also get a little red flower.
If you finish all your food at lunch and sleep well at nap time, you can also earn a little red flower.
Proudly, while other children may only receive one little red flower for painting, she got two. Her excellent performance in other areas earned her three little red flowers from Teacher Ye. Though not the only one, she definitely earned the most little red flowers in the class today.
All these little red flowers can be accumulated, and at the end of the semester, they can be exchanged with the homeroom teacher for snacks or small toys like chips, milk, small building blocks, and so on.
This undoubtedly provides great motivation for the children.
The semester isn’t even over yet!
Xuanxuan has already accumulated a lot of little red flowers.
Her current flower count is already the highest in the class.
"Daddy, Teacher Ye said my paintings are good and wants to display them on the back wall! Also, during the game this afternoon, Teacher Ye said I am good at observing and thinking, and wants the other kids to learn from me!"
Huang Tao, with smiling eyes, reached out to pat her little head and said, "My Xuanxuan is really great, but you shouldn’t get too proud. Keep up the good work and keep striving!"
"Mm-hmm~ I know!"
Xuanxuan nodded obediently.
Seeing her getting better and happier at kindergarten, Huang Tao was also inwardly delighted!
"Get in the car, time to go home~"
Huang Tao opened the car door and lifted her into the car.
Just then, a gentle voice sounded behind: "Huang Tao..."
Huang Tao turned around in slight surprise and saw Ye Wen jogging to his side.
The passing parents couldn’t help but curiously glance at the two of them.
The two stood side by side, and the sunset stretched their shadows long.
It was a tad bit awkward!
Huang Tao asked puzzledly, "Ye Wen, do you need something from me?"
"Hello, Teacher Ye~"
Sitting in the back seat, little Xuanxuan poked her cute head out of the car door. Seeing Ye Wen, her eyes lit up, and she waved her little hand to greet Ye Wen in a soft voice.
"Hi~"
Ye Wen smiled gently and also waved to Xuanxuan, "Hi Xuanxuan~"
Then she seemed to remember what she came for, took out an exquisite box from her bag, and said, "Almost forgot, this is your birthday gift."
"Happy birthday."
"Thanks, but..."
Huang Tao was truly surprised and grateful.
But he felt it might be inappropriate to accept the gift!
It’s always been the parents who give gifts to teachers. When has a teacher ever given gifts to a student’s parent...even for birthdays, it’s unheard of!
He wanted to politely refuse, saying, "I appreciate the thought, but this gift isn’t necessary," but before he could, Xuanxuan’s little voice piped up: "Daddy, Teacher Ye specially prepared a birthday gift for you. You should accept it and say thank you!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she used her cute magic, blinking her sparkling eyes at Huang Tao.
Huang Tao: "..."
He helplessly gave her a warning look.
Xuanxuan dramatically rolled her large eyes, with a look of exasperation.
Ye Wen smiled gently and said softly, "Actually, I think Xuanxuan is right. A birthday gift should be accepted."
"And besides, it’s not something expensive."
Xuanxuan put on an innocent expression, looking at Huang Tao.
See, even Teacher Ye thinks so!
Huang Tao: "..."
Well~
With the conversation at this point, not accepting would just create awkwardness and make Ye Wen look bad.
"Alright, I’ll accept it. Thank you, Ye Wen."
He nodded, took the gift, and thanked her again, thinking that since he accepted the gift, he should reciprocate appropriately.
So...
He invited, "Tonight there’s a birthday party at the restaurant, around seven. If you’re free, come join us for the celebration."
Ahhhhh~
Huang Tao invited me to his birthday party...
So happy!
Ye Wen was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Sure, I’m free, and I’ll be there on time tonight."
"I’ll head back first..."
Ye Wen blinked and waved goodbye to the father and daughter with a smile.
Several male parents shot envious glances at Huang Tao.
Getting so close with Teacher Ye Wen.
Ah!
Good-looking people do seem to attract attention.
The treatment is indeed different!
Ah!
It’s said that to win over a woman’s heart, you should first win over her stomach, and it’s true!
Many female parents, while feeling envious of Ye Wen, couldn’t help but discuss in private.
"Teacher Ye has been getting really close with Boss Huang recently!"
"Don’t you all think Mr. Xuan and Teacher Ye make a great match?"
"A talented man and a beautiful woman, they really do match well!"
"Do you think they’re dating?"
"What nonsense are you all talking about? Teacher Ye and Mr. Xuan are just good friends, let’s not spread rumors."
"Right, let’s not gossip. If Boss Huang hears and gets awkward and upset, it wouldn’t be good."
After all, Huang Tao looks after their appetites; they can barely manage to butter him up, let alone offend him!
Over here, Huang Tao took Xuanxuan back to the restaurant.
And started getting busy for the evening shift.
