Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 46 - 43: Are You Sure You’re Talking About Our Yuanyuan?

Chapter 46: Chapter 43: Are You Sure You’re Talking About Our Yuanyuan?

"Grandma, I don’t want it, I don’t want to eat it."

Faced with Grandma’s sudden offer, Liu Yuanyuan showed no sign of delight. Instead, she shook her little head like a rattle drum and reached out her chubby little hand to push away the steamed cake and yogurt Grandma handed over.

Her reaction was so decisive!

Her action was so crisp and neat!

Seeing this, Xu Caihong and Li Xiuxian, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo present, were both extremely surprised.

You know, these steamed cakes and yogurt have always been Yuanyuan’s favorites. She eats them almost every day, and if she doesn’t get them one day, she’ll fuss for them.

However.

What Xu Caihong and Li Xiuxian never expected was that one day, Yuanyuan would no longer like these two things.

This sudden change was really beyond their expectations.

Aside from their surprise, they couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

They worried that Yuanyuan’s refusal to eat steamed cakes and yogurt was not just because she didn’t like them anymore, but perhaps because she was feeling unwell.

After all, they had raised Yuanyuan themselves and naturally understood her temperament and preferences well.

She only lost interest in her favorite foods when she wasn’t feeling well.

Thinking like this, they became alarmed!

With a worried look, Xu Caihong asked, "Yuanyuan, why aren’t you eating the steamed cake and yogurt? Are you not feeling well somewhere?"

"Yeah, tell Mommy if you’re feeling unwell anywhere."

Li Xiuxian quickly squatted down, carefully observing her precious daughter’s face with eyes full of concern, and asked, "Is your tummy hurting?"

Liu Yuanyuan: ゛(’◇’)?

Huh?

Why did Mommy ask that?

Huh?

Is my belly hurting?

She was a bit confused by the questions and even deliberately felt if there was any discomfort in her own little belly.

Yang Yuxi: ⊙(・◇・)?

Yuanyuan’s tummy hurts?

It shouldn’t be, right?

But thinking about how much Yuanyuan ate for lunch and her afternoon snack, she wasn’t so sure anymore. She also squatted down hastily and asked with concern, "Yuanyuan, is your tummy really not feeling well?"

Hearing these sudden voices of concern and seeing the eyes full of worry, Liu Yuanyuan became even more confused. She blinked her big eyes at Yang Yuxi, then at Grandma, and then at Mommy, before gently shaking her little head.

Seeing this, the three of them finally felt relieved.

Li Xiuxian still wasn’t entirely assured and continued to ask, "Yuanyuan, is your tummy really not hurting?"

Though still confused, Liu Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "Mommy, Grandma, Miss Yang, my tummy has never hurt!"

"That’s good, that’s good!"

Li Xiuxian and Xu Caihong were completely at ease this time.

But the doubt in their hearts still lingered.

Just as they were about to inquire why Yuanyuan wasn’t eating, Yang Yuxi shared her opinion: "Yuanyuan drank two bowls of white fungus and lotus seed soup during the afternoon snack, so her tummy might still be full and she’s not hungry. That’s probably why she doesn’t want to eat the steamed cake and yogurt..."

"Yeah, my tummy is still full right now! I’m not feeling hungry at all!"

On hearing Yang Yuxi’s words, Liu Yuanyuan immediately nodded in agreement, straightened up, and gently patted her own little tummy a few times to show that she was telling the truth—that little tummy was indeed still full!

She had eaten quite a lot for lunch, and at her afternoon snack too, and naturally felt no hunger.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuxian and Xu Caihong unpromptedly looked down at her little tummy.

No need to look too closely.

Once they saw it...

Oh my~

That little tummy was round like a small watermelon.

Clearly, she hadn’t held back on the eating!

It seemed the teachers in the kindergarten were very diligent!

Seeing this, all their worries and concerns vanished completely, leaving only gratitude for Yang Yuxi and the other teachers.

"Miss Yang, thank you so much! Our Yuanyuan is a bit spoiled, and you’ve had to take care of her eating and sleeping in the kindergarten."

"It’s normal for little girls to be a bit spoiled; we were like that when we were young too."

Yang Yuxi replied with a smile, and then briefly described Liu Yuanyuan’s situation in kindergarten: "At noon during meals, she initially didn’t want to eat by herself and wanted to wait for Grandma to feed her. But after Miss Xie taught her to use a spoon, she obediently ate by herself. In the afternoon during snack time, she started eating on her own as soon as she got it. Very well-behaved!"

Yang Yuxi was actually putting it quite mildly.

In fact, when Yuanyuan got her afternoon snack, the speed at which she used the spoon to eat the soup was like a whirlwind!

You couldn’t tell at all that she had ever waited for Grandma to feed her lunch.

But when this was heard by Xu Caihong and Li Xiuxian, their first reaction wasn’t to think their child had really become sensible but rather doubtfully wondered if Yang Yuxi had confused her with another child.

Li Xiuxian looked at Yang Yuxi with disbelief, "Miss Yang, are you sure you’re talking about our Yuanyuan?"

Yang Yuxi: ?(.ヘ°)

Yuanyuan’s mom, how can you ask like that, do you think I’m making it up?

She helplessly smiled and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Yuanyuan’s mom, I’m talking about your Yuanyuan. She did wonderfully today and learned how to eat by herself."

"Mommy, everything Miss Yang said is true, I really can eat by myself now~"

Liu Yuanyuan tilted her little head up and emphatically vouched for herself in a cute, innocent voice.

At the same time, she looked expectantly at Li Xiuxian, as if asking: Mommy, isn’t Yuanyuan amazing? Tell me, Yuanyuan is great, isn’t she?

Li Xiuxian naturally noticed the small wish in her daughter’s eyes and affectionately patted her precious girl’s little head, praising, "Oh my, our Yuanyuan is really amazing, you can eat by yourself now."

"Hehe~"

Seeing Yuanyuan not only eating well but also learning to eat by herself in kindergarten, both Li Xiuxian and Xu Caihong were very pleased and treated Yang Yuxi with more respect: "Miss Yang, you’ve been busy, we’ll go now and see you tomorrow!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

"Bye, Miss Yang~"

"Bye, Yuanyuan"

She waved a small goodbye to Liu Yuanyuan as they left.

Nearby, the parent next to Xie Jianing was planning to discuss her son’s situation at the kindergarten, but the little guy wasn’t willing to wait at the gate and kept trying to tug her home. This made her frown a bit, dissatisfied, saying: "Tong Tong, look at the other kids, they can eat by themselves. But you? You’re so naughty that I’m sure you misbehaved at school and that’s why you’re pulling mommy home so urgently, not letting me talk to Miss Xie..."

Tongtong: (•́へ•́╬)

I’m not!

That’s not true!

Mommy, stop making things up!

Xie Jianing: ヽ(._°)ノ

Actually, every child is unique, you can’t jump to conclusions like that...

She spoke up in defense of Tong Tong:

"Tong Tong’s mom, Tong Tong did very well today. He ate by himself and he ate very well!"

Hearing this, Tong Tong’s mom immediately relaxed her brows and a smile appeared on her face, sincerely praising: "Miss Xie, you really know how to educate children!"

"You don’t know, when Tong Tong’s at home, don’t even mention eating by himself, even when we feed him, he wouldn’t eat well unless he’s watching TV. We’ve argued about this countless times with his grandparents."

Suddenly realizing she might be reprimanding her child in front of the teacher, she thought better of it and changed the topic: "Miss Xie, how did Tong Tong eat lunch today, did he leave behind a lot of food? He’s got a habit of taking just a few bites when he eats by himself."

Xie Jianing shook her head and said truthfully, "Nope, Tong Tong finished all his food and soup, and even asked for an extra helping of meat!"

Wow~

That’s rare!

He actually ate that much!

Though this amount isn’t much compared to the little friend named Chenchen earlier, it’s definitely more compared to what he eats at home!

Tong Tong’s mom looked pleasantly surprised, "Looks like it’s really necessary for kids to go to kindergarten. The moment they step into kindergarten, they start eating by themselves without fuss like they do at home, where eating seems like such a life-or-death ordeal..."

After chatting with the teacher, the parents happily took their children home.
