Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 159 - 152: A Little Surprise

Since today is Teacher’s Day, the teachers at Dorami Kindergarten are lucky to have a half-day off.

Therefore.

On this special day, the kids in the kindergarten also get to enjoy some benefits.

A half-day holiday.

Normally, a holiday is undoubtedly a piece of good news for children, something that makes them jump with joy and full of anticipation.

Because it means they can temporarily escape the constraints of kindergarten, return home and enjoy some free time. They can watch their favorite cartoons, taste various delicious snacks, and even go out to play with their close friends...

But now, things are different.

When the children heard about the half-day holiday, their faces did not show the usual ecstatic expressions.

Instead, they looked a bit unhappy.

The reason.

Was because they were still thinking about the afternoon snack!

So much so that when the parents came to pick them up, they were reluctant to leave.

"Goodbye, teacher..."

At the kindergarten gate, parents bid farewell to the teachers one by one and then held their children’s little hands, ready to head home.

A few kids were quite obedient and left with them.

But...

They looked back every few steps, gazing longingly in the direction of the kindergarten.

However, more children were unwilling to leave just like that.

They squatted on the ground, clinging tightly to their parents’ hands, muttering, "I don’t want to go home, I want to stay at kindergarten, I haven’t had my afternoon snack yet!"

Faced with the children’s stubbornness, the parents adopted a "strategic retreat" approach, saying directly: "You’re not going home? Then I’ll go home by myself..."

As soon as the words were said, they let go of the child’s little hand and walked straight ahead.

I have to say, this strategy was quite effective!

The children, who originally stubbornly refused to leave, immediately panicked when they saw their parents really start to leave, and hurriedly caught up.

"Mama, Mama, don’t go..."

"Papa, Papa, wait for me..."

For a moment, cries and shouts began to rise one after another, making the scene somewhat chaotic.

In this way, within a few short minutes, a series of interesting "you chase, I run" scenes played out at the kindergarten gate. The children, in a chase, were eventually taken home by their parents.

Lin Weilin wasn’t that fortunate!

"Pengpeng, let’s go, it’s time to go home!"

He tried to take Lin Yipeng’s little hand, hoping to bring him home. However, the little guy stubbornly shook off his hand, refusing to leave.

"No, no... I don’t want to go home..." Lin Yipeng pouted, looking totally unwilling.

Lin Weilin: "..."

Oh my!

Not again!

He wanted to forcibly pick him up, but remembering the awkward scene a few days ago when he was mistaken for a kidnapper by other children, he had to abandon the idea.

He patiently said, "Pengpeng, all the other children have gone home, and the teachers are all going home after work. What are you doing here if you don’t go home? Come on... go home with Daddy..."

"I’m just not going home... I want to find Qingqing’s daddy..."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to run towards the kindergarten gate.

Lin Weilin quickly grabbed the little guy: "Qingqing’s dad is already off work and is not at the kindergarten. Why are you looking for him?"

Lin Yipeng blinked his eyes and earnestly said, "I miss Qingqing’s dad!"

Lin Weilin: "..."

Hey!

I raised you for so long, why don’t you miss me?

For a moment, he felt like raising this son was a waste!

Also, is it really Qingqing’s dad you miss? Clearly, you’re craving for Qingqing’s dad’s cooking.

By the way, didn’t you just finish eating the lunch made by Qingqing’s dad?

How can you be craving more?

"Just out of school for a few minutes and you’re already missing him, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Lin Yipeng retorted, "I miss Qingqing’s dad, not nonsense, Daddy, what you’re saying is very impolite!"

Being reprimanded by his son, Lin Weilin felt an ache in his arm.

Where are the wolves?

Where are his wolves?

For a moment, he really regretted that he went soft-hearted last time after returning home, not letting this little guy have a taste of the "wolves."

Otherwise... a little spanking would calm him down, and he wouldn’t be bouncing around now...

But no choice,

He’s his own child after all!

He just couldn’t bring himself to do it...

Now it’s come to this.

He’s paying the price for his soft-heartedness again!

He asked helplessly, "Tell me, why are you looking for Qingqing’s dad?"

Lin Yipeng replied without thinking, "I’m looking for Qingqing’s dad to make lunch snacks..."

Well!

Typical, just finished a meal, and already thinking about the next one!

"It’s said that kindergarten is on holiday, it’s said that Qingqing’s dad is also on holiday, how can he make lunch snacks?" Lin Weilin reasoned and appealed emotionally, "Besides, Qingqing’s dad has only half a day off, don’t bother him."

Lin Yipeng insisted, "But I haven’t had my lunch snack today!"

Lin Weilin had a look that said "I can’t handle this, dear heavens, take me away, let me escape the pain," and said helplessly, "I’ve told you kindergarten is on holiday, no lunch snacks, why don’t you listen?"

Lin Yipeng blinked, "But I haven’t had my lunch snack today!"

Lin Weilin: "..."

Are you a talking parrot?

Fine!

The most ineffective communication in the world is reasoning with a child!

No more words, the more said, the more tears...

Just simply and directly carry him away, that’s it!

Many parents shared this thought, and carried, dragged, or pulled their children away from the kindergarten, beginning their own family time of "relaxing peace without meals, chaos when eating."

...

Inside Dorami Kindergarten.

The teachers and kitchen staff had half a day off, but couldn’t leave yet.

The reason being...

They had to attend a meeting!

Upon receiving this news...

Huang Jun asked Aunt Lin with a sliver of hope, "Aunt Lin, are you sure we kitchen staff need to attend this meeting too?"

Aunt Lin nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Director Liang has notified everyone in the kindergarten to attend the meeting, including Old Li. How could we kitchen staff be the exception?"

"Alright!"

Huang Jun accepted the fact helplessly and went to the conference room with his two little daughters.

Before the meeting, he brought his daughters to a table in the corner, asking them to play with other teachers’ children.

He instructed, "Qingqing, Weiwei, play with the sisters here for a while, try not to talk or make noise, and once the meeting is over, we can go home."

"Dad, don’t worry, I won’t be noisy." Qingqing smiled with twinkling eyes.

Weiwei also nodded obediently, "Dad, Weiwei will be good too!"

"Good girl!"

Huang Jun patted their little heads and quickly went over to where Qian Guoxiang was.

A moment later.

Liang Yinqiu walked in, came to the conference table, cleared her throat, and captured everyone’s attention.

With a gentle smile, she looked around and said, "Everyone’s here, today we are gathered here to discuss the upcoming ’Canteen Open Day’ event. Before the event officially begins, I have prepared a little surprise for everyone, hoping it brings good luck and joy to you all."

After speaking, she took out a stack of carefully prepared red envelopes from her handbag, each wrapped in vibrant red paper, printed with auspicious symbols.

She smiled as she distributed the red envelopes to the teachers present, wishing them, "Happy Holidays..."

"Thank you, Director Liang!"

The teachers smiled as they reached out to take the envelopes and expressed their gratitude.

Liang Yinqiu walked to Huang Jun’s side, handed him a thick red envelope, and said, "Chef Huang, this is for you... thank you for your hard work..."

Huang Jun was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought only the teachers would get red envelopes, not expecting that even kitchen staff and security like Uncle Li would receive one.

He stood up, took the red envelope with a grateful smile, and thanked, "Thank you, Director Liang."

As he opened the red envelope...

Inside were neatly stacked bills, a rough estimate of at least 20!

To Huang Jun, this gift was not just an unexpected surprise, but also recognition and praise for his hard work.

Then, the meeting’s focus shifted to the specific arrangements for the "Canteen Open Day" event.

Considering that each class only has one parent slot and many parents are very eager, competing for the slot, this left the class teachers in a dilemma, uncertain about whom to give the slot to.

To appropriately resolve the slot allocation issue, Director Liang Yinqiu displayed decisive leadership.

After careful consideration, she proposed a plan: "Given the class committee chair plays a key organizational role in the class, serving as a crucial contributor to various affairs, I believe having the class committee chair represent each class at the ’Canteen Open Day’ is the best decision."

This proposal was immediately met with wide approval from everyone present, who generally agreed the arrangement was reasonable.

Then, Liang Yinqiu continued to announce the specific date of the canteen open day: "Considering the preparation of the event and parent participation, we have set the ’Canteen Open Day’ event for the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is September 18. Teachers, do you have any feedback or suggestions for this arrangement?"

This arrangement did not encounter any opposition either.

Seeing this, Liang Yinqiu smiled and continued, "Then, regarding the slots and dates for the event, we will implement them according to the results of today’s discussion. Please have the class teachers contact the class committee chair promptly after the meeting and inform them of the specific event time, remembering to remind them closer to the date so they don’t forget."

"Okay, we’ve got it." Class teachers nodded.

Liang Yinqiu looked at Huang Jun and smiled, saying, "Chef Huang, on September 18, we need to prepare more dishes to entertain the parents, so thank you for your hard work!"

"It’s no trouble, Director Liang!"

Huang Jun nodded in agreement.

Originally, Liang Yinqiu wanted to further explain some details, but considering today was Teachers’ Day, she refrained from doing so, ending the meeting early to let everyone go home and rest.
