Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 176 - 168: Does the Kindergarten Accept 300-Month-Old Babies?

Chapter 176: Chapter 168: Does the Kindergarten Accept 300-Month-Old Babies?

On the next day around noon, the sun blazed down, with the air filled with heat and the city’s hustle and bustle.

A Meituan delivery guy in a yellow outfit, wearing a yellow rabbit-ear helmet, rode his beloved little electric bike, weaving through the city’s streets and alleys once again.

As for the destination!

There was only one...

That was the Dorami Kindergarten, which was filled with the enticing aroma of delicious food.

Every time he thought of the aroma wafting from the kindergarten, his taste buds were like flames being ignited, dancing incessantly, drooling with desire.

Ah...

Really craving it!

"Screech!"

With a crisp brake sound, the electric bike came to a steady stop at the entrance of Dorami Kindergarten.

The delivery guy, Xiaoli, skillfully parked his bike, took a deep breath, and the aroma from the kindergarten immediately filled his nostrils.

That scent...

Awakened his just-subdued appetite...

Ah...

The more he smelled it, the more he craved it, the hungrier he felt!

He involuntarily swallowed, and his stomach growled embarrassingly.

At this moment, he felt this delivery...

Was both joyful and painful...

"Knock knock knock!"

He moved to the guardhouse, lightly tapping the glass window, the crisp knocking sound echoing in the spacious guard room.

Uncle Li was immersed in the melody of Peking Opera, interrupted by the sudden noise, he looked up and immediately recognized the familiar figure outside the window—it was the delivery guy from yesterday!

He got up, walked to the window, slid open the glass pane, and said with a warm smile, "Hey, you’re here again! Are you here to collect meals for the kids and take them to the hospital today?"

The delivery guy nodded, with a slight smile, "Yes, sir, I’m here to pick up meals, could you please call that teacher from yesterday?"

Uncle Li agreed with a smile, "Ah, alright, I got it!"

He said as he turned to the phone, picked up the handset, and began dialing.

The phone’s ringing echoed in the spacious guard room, accompanied by his light footsteps.

The delivery guy stood outside, quietly waiting.

He faintly heard a voice coming from inside:

"Miss Yang, that delivery guy in the yellow robe is here again, saying he’s here to pick up meals..."

Upon hearing this unusual title, the delivery guy’s smile froze in mid-air, a peculiar feeling rising in his heart.

Yellow robe is fine, but why add a rabbit?

Speaking of!

It’s not a rabbit-ear helmet he’s wearing...

However, upon recalling the words "yellow robe," he remembered a long-buried bittersweet memory.

He remembered when he was six, during a bright spring, he, along with his grandparents, embarked on a journey to Tiger Mountain.

Tiger Mountain, with its scenic beauty, attracted countless tourists.

And during their climb, they happened upon a fortune-teller.

The fortune-teller, clad in a long robe, exuded an air of mystery.

He approached them, looked him up and down, then slowly said, "This young lad has exceptional bones, a full forehead, a square jaw, with great potential and dignity, destined for wealth and success."

Upon hearing this, his grandparents couldn’t help but smile, feeling that their dear grandson was blessed by divine favor, destined to stand out and achieve great success.

And the fortune teller, with a mysterious smile, continued, "By the age of 25, he will surely wear the yellow robe, feasting with abundance... Dear grandparents, your grandson here is destined to be an emperor!"

Upon hearing that their grandson was destined to be an emperor, his grandparents’ eyes gleamed with excitement.

After all, this was an honor for the family, a symbol of ancestral blessings and fortune!

Therefore...

The typically frugal grandparents took out their wallets, generously offering a token of thanks.

And indeed, he did not disappoint!

At the age of 25, he indeed donned the yellow robe, but... it wasn’t the yellow robe as expected...

He did indeed have meals of fish and meat every day, but it was... the kind you could only see and not eat...

Ah!

Thinking about it is a bitter tear!

If he ever met that fortune teller again, he’d definitely say: Old man, return the money!

Soon, Uncle Li hung up the phone, sauntered back to the window, and with a gentle smile, said to the delivery guy, "Alright, she’s been notified, and Miss Yang will be here shortly, please wait a moment."

"Ah, alright, thank you, sir..."

The delivery guy showed a grateful smile, nodded, and then pointed to the yellow helmet on his head, correcting, "Uncle, these are not rabbit ears but kangaroo ears?"

Uncle Li paused slightly, then squinted his eyes and studied the delivery guy’s helmet seriously.

He looked left and right, up and down, but always felt these ears looked more like... rabbit ears.

He had a look of "Are these kangaroo ears? Old man hasn’t read much, don’t fool me" on his face and said, "This... isn’t it rabbit ears! Kangaroo ears aren’t that long... Besides, kangaroos aren’t as cute as rabbits!"

It seems... indeed... there is some logic in that...

The delivery guy was almost led astray by Uncle Li...

But...

It gives the feeling like... a dog being very cute, and then many posts every day saying this bear is adorable.

Thinking about it gives a headache!

Once he collected his thoughts, he wanted to point to the logo on his clothes and argue with Uncle Li, telling him three times about something important: These are kangaroo ears, kangaroo ears, kangaroo ears. If you don’t believe it, look at this logo!

But ultimately, he stuck to the principle of "on others’ turf, more is less," and chose to compromise.

Forget it, forget it.

Uncle, as long as you’re happy, call them whatever you want!

At this point.

He noticed Yang Yuxi approaching gracefully and smiled as he greeted her, "Teacher, hello, we met yesterday. I’m here again to pack the meal for Yuanyuan."

He said as he handed over the freshly purchased insulated lunch box.

Li Xiuxian specifically instructed him because there were no extra insulated boxes at the kindergarten!

Yang Yuxi accepted it and responded gently, "Hello, I remember you. Yuanyuan’s mom just talked to me on the phone about it. Please wait a moment, I’ll go prepare the food."

She turned and carried the insulated lunch box towards the kitchen.

Aunt Li and Aunt Lin exchanged a knowing glance when they saw the insulated lunch box in her hand, and Aunt Li asked with a smile, "Miss Yang, are you packing food for Yuanyuan again to send to the hospital?"

"Yes." Yang Yuxi nodded gently, "Yuanyuan particularly misses the kindergarten food, so her mom specifically asked the delivery guy to take it. Oh, by the way, is the food ready?"

Before Aunt Li could respond, Huang Jun cheerfully interjected, "All done, Miss Yang! You can come and pack the food anytime."

"Ah, great, thank you, Qingqing’s dad." Yang Yuxi glanced at Huang Jun gratefully.

Speaking of Yuanyuan, Huang Jun remembered his two daughters were very concerned about Yuanyuan’s condition, so he asked with concern, "Miss Yang, how is Yuanyuan now? Has her condition improved?"

Yang Yuxi lightly sighed, "Her fever is somewhat under control right now, but the situation remains unstable. She’ll likely need to stay in the hospital for a few more days."

"It’s good to know she’s improving..." Huang Jun felt relieved.

Yang Yuxi suddenly remembered and hesitantly asked, "Uh... Yuanyuan’s mom specifically asked me to pack more food for Yuanyuan. Will the kindergarten run out because of this?"

Huang Jun couldn’t help but chuckle, "Miss Yang, rest assured. I prepared extra food today, absolutely enough. No one will go hungry because you’re taking more food."

These words instantly dispelled the worry from Yang Yuxi’s heart, and she looked at Huang Jun gratefully, her face beaming with a bright smile, "Qingqing’s dad, you’re so thoughtful! Then I’ll go ahead and pack them."

Afterward, she deftly packed the food, carefully placing the insulated lunch box into the bag to avoid any spills.

"Qingqing’s dad, you’re busy, I’ll head out first..."

After saying goodbye to Huang Jun and the others, she quickly walked out of the kitchen, handing the insulated lunch box to the delivery guy and carefully reminding him, "Be careful on the road, don’t spill it."

"Okay, okay, teacher, rest assured I’ll handle it!"

The delivery guy smiled as he took the bag with the insulated lunch box.

He took a deep breath, the aroma of the food tempted him, nearly prompting him to ask Yang Yuxi a seemingly absurd question: "Does your kindergarten accept babies over three hundred months old?"

But in the end, he held back and didn’t ask.

Indeed, whether he asked or not, the result would be the same. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Rather than tasting the bitterness of disappointment, it was better to bury that temptation deep in his heart.

For just a moment, he genuinely envied the kids at this kindergarten who could enjoy such rich meals every day...

With a hint of regret, he carefully placed the bag containing the insulated lunch box into the insulated compartment at the back of his bike, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes, then he turned and got on his bike.

Suddenly.

A flash of insight crossed his mind.

Oh yes!

Even if he can’t eat such delicious food now, in the future, he could let his child attend this kindergarten.

Then...

He could, like this parent, pack meals for his child, and that way he could get a taste of that tempting aroma, right?

However, just as the thought surfaced, he realized a particularly important issue...

That is... he first needs to find someone willing to have a child with him...

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile wryly, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

"No problem!" He said to himself hopefully, "Tomorrow I’ll check out the dating corner, surely I’ll find someone who wants to have monkeys with me!"

And so...

Full of anticipation, he started the bike and headed to the hospital.
