Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 64 - 61: Don’t Want to Go Home So Early

"Ding ding ding, time’s up, dads and moms are here, kids line up, wait for the teacher to call your name, I say ’goodbye’ to the teacher, and the teacher says I’m a ’good kid’..."

Just before 4:30 PM, melodious singing echoed in Dorami Kindergarten, signaling the end of the school day.

After tidying up their appearance, the older kids put on their small backpacks and water bottles, and, guided by the teacher, they orderly lined up to leave the classroom, heading towards the kindergarten gate.

As for the little ones in the lower classes!

They also, with the careful help of the teacher, got ready to go to the entrance to meet their parents.

At this time, many parents had already gathered outside the kindergarten, all there to pick up their children.

Today, these parents were very patient and did not rush Uncle Li to help notify the teachers to release their children early.

The reason being.

Mainly, because the kids ate well and slept well in kindergarten, and the teachers took meticulous care of them, making these parents feel very reassured and at ease.

Besides, once the little ones were back in the cage, they enjoyed a carefree time at home!

Picking them up early was just a hassle!

While the kids in the kindergarten and the parents outside were eagerly awaiting, little Qingqing and Weiwei, led by Yang Yuxi and two other teachers, came out of the classroom and lined up in the corridor to wait.

Once most of the older kids were picked up, they went to the kindergarten gate.

Hmm?

Where’s dad?

Why hasn’t he come yet?

Qingqing and Weiwei stood at the back of the kids, trying their best to tip-toe to look toward the kitchen door.

Suddenly.

A voice all too familiar to them reached their ears.

Upon hearing it, the two little ones immediately turned their heads towards the direction from which the voice came...

And then, at a glance, they saw Huang Jun hurrying towards them.

"Daddy~"

Qingqing and Weiwei’s eyes lit up instantly, and they hurriedly ran towards him, not caring even when their water bottles swinging against their chests hurt them.

"Slow down..."

Huang Jun quickly came forward, squatted down, and held them both in his arms.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Qingqing, Weiwei, have you been waiting long?"

Weiwei nodded: "Uh-huh~"

Qingqing said considerately: "Daddy, it’s fine, Qingqing wasn’t waiting for too long..."

"Such good girls!"

Huang Jun smiled and patted the little ones on the head, then took off their small backpacks and water bottles, hanging them on his wrist, and said to Miss Yang and the other teachers: "Miss Yang, Miss Xie, I’ll take them home now!"

"Alright! Bye-bye~"

Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing waved to the three of them.

Seeing this, the other kids also waved to Huang Jun.

"Bye-bye Qingqing’s daddy!"

"Bye-bye Chef Huang!"

"Goodbye Qingqing and Weiwei’s daddy!"

"Goodbye Uncle Chef Huang!"

"..."

Almost the whole class was waving goodbye to Huang Jun, and even kids from other classes recognized him and waved goodbye, all with joyful smiles on their faces.

Even the teachers from all classes did the same!

No exaggeration to say, Huang Jun had surpassed Liang Yinqiu, the director, in being the most popular person in the kindergarten.

Of course, Huang Jun and Director Liang were popular for slightly different reasons.

Director Liang attracted their affection with her charismatic personality, while Huang Jun won their affection with his superb culinary skills and charismatic personality.

He didn’t just win over their stomachs, but also their hearts!

"Yes, goodbye kids..." Huang Jun held Qingqing and Weiwei’s little hands and gently nodded and smiled at the kids while heading towards the kindergarten gate.

However.

After taking just a few steps, little Weiwei looked up with her cute little face, big watery eyes gazing at Huang Jun, her tone carrying a hint of reluctance and plea: "Daddy, I don’t want to go home so early..."

Hearing this, Huang Jun couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked: "You don’t want to go home now, what do you want to do then?"

Weiwei pointed toward the play area not far inside the kindergarten, her eyes sparkling: "I want to play over there for a while, is that okay, daddy~"

Huang Jun knowingly smiled: "Oh, you want to play on the slide?"

"Yes!"

Weiwei nodded enthusiastically, and then added: "Besides the slide, I want to play with other things too, hehe~"

Although she had been at kindergarten for the past two days, and during nap time the teacher would take them for a walk on the playground, the other kids in the class were always too active, so the teacher hadn’t taken them to play on the slides.

Thus, Weiwei couldn’t help but miss the feeling of playing on the slide a little!

Huang Jun didn’t agree to her request immediately; he wanted to first know what Qingqing thought, and then make a decision.

He was worried that if the two kids didn’t agree, and he agreed hastily, it might lead to more trouble and conflicts later.

He smiled at Weiwei and said, "Hmm, let’s ask Qingqing’s opinion first. What do you think?"

Then he turned to Qingqing beside him and gently asked, "Qingqing, do you want to play?"

"Sister, let’s go on the slide together!" Weiwei looked at Qingqing with a pitiful gaze, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness.

She kept rubbing her hands playfully and continued to plead in a cute manner, "Please, sister?"

Qingqing thought about how Dad fell asleep from exhaustion after coming home yesterday and would likely be very tired again today, hoping to return home early for a rest. But seeing her sister’s pitiful expression, she couldn’t bear to refuse, reluctantly saying, "Alright, we’ll just play for a little while~"

"Yay!"

Weiwei leaped up joyfully, continuously praising her sister and dad for being so kind!

Then she took Qingqing’s little hand and rushed straight to the play area.

The two happily climbed onto the plastic castle, screaming as they slid down the slide, their bell-like laughter echoing across the empty playground.

They were innocent and carefree, fully enjoying their joyful moments without a worry in the world!

...

At the kindergarten gate.

Parents were gradually picking up their children.

On the way home.

Parents couldn’t help but inquire about their children’s day at kindergarten.

Xu Caihong held Yuanyuan’s little hand, asking with concern, "Yuanyuan, how was the food at kindergarten today? Was it good?"

"It was yummy, just as tasty as yesterday!" Yuanyuan answered without hesitation.

"And what about the pumpkin cakes this morning? Were they tasty?" Li Xiuxian, reminiscing about the aroma of pumpkin from the morning, couldn’t resist asking.

Actually, after dropping Yuanyuan off at kindergarten in the morning, she was so tempted by the savory aroma that she went downtown to buy some pumpkin cakes to share with her mother-in-law, yet felt that the ones she bought didn’t smell as good as those from the kindergarten, but at least they slightly satisfied her craving.

"Mom, it’s custard pumpkin cakes!"

Yuanyuan corrected her, immediately affirming, "They were delicious too, Yuanyuan loved them!"

"How many custard pumpkin cakes did you eat?" Xu Caihong asked with care.

"Three~"

Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and contemplated for a moment before responding.

"So many!"

"Not really, Yuanyuan wanted to eat more but all the custard pumpkin cakes were gone; otherwise, I could have eaten lots more..."

Listening to Yuanyuan’s words and seeing her unsatisfied look, Xu Caihong and Li Xiuxian became even more convinced that choosing Dorami Kindergarten was the right decision.

Especially Xu Caihong!

At first, upon hearing that her son and daughter-in-law wanted Yuanyuan to attend Dorami Kindergarten, she was a bit unhappy about it.

Thinking that the environment at this kindergarten was somewhat outdated, and the teaching resources weren’t as good as the newly opened Hu Jin Kindergarten.

But now...

Her initial thought might not be correct...

In this moment, she felt glad she didn’t forcibly intervene in her son and daughter-in-law’s decision, preventing Yuanyuan from transferring to Hu Jin Kindergarten.

Otherwise, she would have regretted this wrong choice immensely.

...

"Sister, I’m here!"

With an excited shout, Weiwei’s little body "whoosh" slipped out from the secret passageway arch of the children’s castle, her face beamed with an incredibly joyful curve, and the sweat on her face sparkled under the sunset: "Hurry and catch me~"

"Sister~"

On the other side of the castle, Qingqing was looking around, trying to spot Weiwei.

Upon hearing Weiwei’s voice, her eyes lit up and she immediately ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

As she ran, she shouted, "I know where you are, I’m coming to catch you~"

The two little ones played back and forth between the play area and the playground, having a blast!

"Giggle... Sister you can’t catch me..."

Weiwei laughed with excitement, planning to dart into another archway but was blocked by a pair of large hands encircling her, stopping her in her tracks. Come!

"Ah!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Weiwei suddenly screamed: "Daddy, let me go, sister’s catching up..."

Huang Jun, holding Weiwei, smiled wryly and said, "Okay, that’s enough play. Look at you, sweating all over, you must feel uncomfortable..."

"Qingqing, stop playing, we should go home too!"

Qingqing heard this and nodded immediately: "Alright~"

Then single-handedly ceased this chase game.

Seeing this, Weiwei had no choice but to accept the outcome.

Huang Jun took tissues from his backpack to wipe their sweaty faces, laid sweat-absorbing towels on their backs, and let them drink some water, rest for a while before heading to the kindergarten gate with both of them.

Passing by the security room, Uncle Li warmly greeted the father and two daughters and handed them some green tangerines to snack on.

After gaining Huang Jun’s permission, the little ones accepted them saying thank you, bringing a delighted smile to Uncle Li’s face as he exclaimed, "Such good kids!"

After a brief chat, Huang Jun led the two darlings out of the kindergarten gate.

But after walking a few steps, the sound of a horn "beep beep" came from behind.
