Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Chapter 184 Express their dissatisfaction and demands to Director Liang
noon.

The sun slants through every corner of Jialin Jingyuan Community, and the golden light shuttles between the lush trees, casting mottled light and shadow.

In the Liu family's room 8, Unit 1, Building 802, a variety of home-cooked dishes have been carefully placed on the dining table.

The braised pork is shiny, attractive in color and full of aroma; the steamed fish is tender and juicy, you can feel the smooth texture with just a pinch, and the soup is even clearer; there are also the green vegetables and yellow oranges Orange potato shreds...

Although the dishes are rich, the presentation is also very good!
But Li Xiuxian looked at the food in front of her silently, unable to arouse much interest in tasting it.

The reason.

Didn’t you taste the delicious food cooked by Huang Jun a few days ago?
That texture, that taste...

tsk tsk~
It is simply the best in the world!
It was unforgettable every time she thought about it.

So these days, when I eat these home-cooked dishes, although they are delicious, I always feel that something is missing...

Ok.

But after trying the food cooked by Huang Jun...

Heartwarming.

But Li Xiuxian felt that if her children suffered, she could not suffer herself.

Thinking of this, her sense of crisis deepened.

However, due to her mother-in-law's firm opposition, she ultimately did not dare to put this plan into action.

Whenever it's time for kindergarten to have lunch, you can go to the kindergarten and find a reason, such as "Yuan Yuan's body has just recovered and she needs to go home to take some medicine to heal herself, so she won't have a meal in the kindergarten." Then ask the teacher to tell Yuanyuan that meal. Pack up a meal and take it home together.

The same is true for Xu Caihong!

My daughter-in-law came up with a new way to eat.

As Mr. Lu Xun once said: Those who compete with you are not necessarily just other parents in the kindergarten. Sometimes, the competition may come from family members!
These words are indeed true!

But the problem is...

For her, three meals a day are purely necessary to maintain life. Every bite of food goes into her mouth like a routine and she chews it mechanically, lacking the love and expectation for food.

Why haven't you heard any news about the "Canteen Open Day" event recently?
Isn’t it possible that the beautiful girl in the garden has already made an appointment?
It shouldn't be... right?

That is…

Hey!
If there is really no comparison, there will be no harm!
If Liu Qiangtao had not gone home for dinner at noon, she and her mother-in-law would not even bother to cook, and would just eat some fruit or bread to cope with the situation.

Li Xiuxian responded with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, Qiang Tao will be back soon, let's eat together..."

But by the time he realized this, it was already too late.

Got it!
Understood!
My mother-in-law wanted to use the pretext of participating in the kindergarten’s “canteen open day” event to eat the kindergarten’s food in a legitimate way!

That's right.

Saying.

Her outlook changed drastically.

Does the sun come out in the west today?
She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the window, and then asked a key question: "Mom, there is only one quota. Even if Teacher Yang and the others are willing to give the quota to our family, who should go?"

Oops, why didn't she think about this problem before?

But then again.

Xu Caihong nodded in agreement, and then remembered: "Xiuxian, when will Yuanyuan Kindergarten hold the 'canteen open day' event?"

She, Li Xiuxian, also wants to participate in this event!

Stranded!
Xu Caihong sighed helplessly, with a hint of sadness between his brows: "Hey, as the saying goes, 'People are like iron, rice is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry.' Since everything is done, you have to eat some. Otherwise it will be wasted again, eat, eat, Xiuxian..."

But it’s just...a bit of a loss!
Xu Caihong, who has always loved Yuanyuan, really couldn't bear to do such an immoral act just to satisfy his own appetite!
In her opinion, she cannot suffer her granddaughter even if she suffers it.

Because it’s hard to have the chance to taste this wonderful taste again…

The idea does sound attractive.

It seems like a kind of soul loss!
Without that sense of satisfaction and happiness...

Li Xiuxian shook away the messy thoughts in her mind, shook her head and said: "Mom, I don't know when it will be held... The teacher didn't notify the parents in the parent group, so it probably hasn't arrived yet... However, this time the canteen The Open Day event is indeed very popular among parents, and I heard that there is only one parent per class, so it may be difficult to participate. ”

In this way, they can also eat the delicious meals in the kindergarten.

Li Xiuxian: "(○o○)"

Who understands this feeling of loss that money can’t buy?
actually…

In the past, her requirements for food were simple and simple. As long as she could fill her stomach, she felt satisfied.

"Even if there are difficulties, we have to work hard. What if this opportunity really falls on us?
After hearing this, Xu Caihong pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "As the saying goes, 'The one who eats is soft-mouthed, and the one who takes advantage is short-handed.' How about we consider giving some gifts to Teacher Yang and the others so that they can take care of us and give us this quota?" ?”

It can only become a distant memory!
Who understands this kind of pain?

"Alright!"

At that moment, she truly realized that food was not only something to satisfy her appetite, but also a magical existence that could touch her taste buds and soothe her soul.

After all, my children are still young and will have many opportunities to taste delicious food in the future. But as I get older, I will eat less and less...

I never expected that my mother-in-law, who had always disapproved of giving gifts, would be willing to change her principles in order to taste the delicious food in the kindergarten.

Just as Xu Caihong was about to speak, Li Xiuxian continued: "Mom, if this opportunity falls in our family, as Yuanyuan's mother, I should be the most qualified to participate in this event, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Caihong quit.

She smiled and retorted: "I am Yuanyuan's grandma. I basically brought up the child Yuanyuan. This position should belong to me..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started arguing over this issue.

Don’t let anyone!

If Liu Qiangtao heard their argument, he would definitely shout: "Stop it, stop it, this matter has not yet been discussed, why are you two arguing over it?"

at this time. There was a crisp sound of keys clashing outside the door, followed by the sound of the door lock turning gently.

This time.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law temporarily put aside their argument and turned their attention to the door.

"Qiang Tao should be back." Li Xiuxian tilted her head slightly, with an expectant expression on her face.

Xu Caihong's eyes flashed with joy: "Yes, I'm finally back."

The door slowly opens...

Sunlight gradually poured into the house as the crack in the door widened, illuminating a small space.

Liu Qiangtao's figure appeared at the door immediately.

With a gentle smile on his face, he looked at the two people at the dining table not far away from the house, with a trace of apology flashing in his eyes: "Mom, wife, I'm back."

"There's a traffic jam on the road and I'm a little late coming back. You all must be in a hurry!"

Li Xiuxian stood up and took his briefcase, and said gently: "There's no rush, the food has just been cooked. Go and wash your hands and eat. The food is almost cold..."

Liu Qiangtao nodded, walked into the washroom to wash his hands, and returned to the dining table to sit down.

He glanced at the dishes on the table, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Hey, the lunch meal is so rich!"

Li Xiuxian smiled and said, "Yes, mom specially prepared it for you. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"Mom made it, it must be to your liking!"

Liu Qiangtao glanced at Xu Caihong with a smile, then picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the food on the table
Seeing his son eating happily, Xu Caihong's heart was filled with joy and he was busy picking out his favorite dishes.

"Buzz~"

Suddenly, the mobile phone in Liu Qiangtao's trouser pocket vibrated several times.

He picked up his phone, clicked on Moments, and immediately saw the news Wei Yulong had just posted: Today, my wife thoughtfully brought me steamed pork, stir-fried dried celery and stir-fried yam slices carefully made by the kindergarten. Every bite was full of flavor. The taste of happiness. With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Liu Qiangtao, who was caught off guard and took a mouthful of dog food: "..."

If he had known this, he shouldn't have opened a circle of friends so cheaply!

Li Xiuxian on the side also noticed Liu Qiangtao's expression and leaned over curiously: "Hubby, what are you looking at? Are you so fascinated?"

"It's Sissi's father spreading dog food in the circle of friends! If you are not afraid of being fed dog food, here, you can read the content yourself!" Liu Qiangtao handed the phone screen to Li Xiuxian's eyes.

Li Xiuxian looked at the phone screen curiously, her eyes moving on the information posted by Wei Yulong.

Unlike Liu Qiangtao, her attention was instantly attracted by the words "brought back to the kindergarten the carefully made steamed pork with rice flour", and at the same time, a big question mark arose in her mind.

Huh?
what on earth is it?

Why are these dishes brought from kindergarten?
Could it be that Sissi's mother was like her, and after accidentally tasting the delicious food in the garden, she could never forget the taste and became greedy?

To satisfy my craving…

Did Sissi's mother coincide with her and think of the same "bad move" - ​​at meal time, she packed Sissi's meals and took them home on the pretext of taking her children out for something and not eating in the garden? What about tasting?

However, the difference between the two of them is that she only stayed at the level of ideas, but the other party actually took action?
Think about it, it’s not impossible!
She tapped the screen of her phone curiously, liked Wei Yulong's message, and commented: "Dad Sissi, you guys are so capable, but you even use such tricks just to eat."

After a while, Wei Yulong's reply popped up: "?".

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yulong sent another message: "No trick! Today the kindergarten held a 'canteen open day event', and my wife specially left some food for me to bring back so that I could taste the food in the garden. She said it tasted very good and specially packaged it for me to try.”

what?
Is there a "Canteen Open Day" held in the kindergarten today?
Why doesn't she know about this?

Is this quota really determined?
It seems...

It's not impossible...

When she thought of this, her whole body was about to burst!
I was arguing with my mother-in-law just now about this, but I didn't expect that this long-awaited event would start and end quietly.

This made her feel so lost and helpless!
"Xiuxian, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" Xu Caihong asked with concern.

Li Xiuxian sighed and said with some disappointment: "Mom, did you know? The date of the 'Canteen Open Day Event' has been confirmed, it is today, and... it has ended."

After hearing this, Xu Caihong felt a little surprised: "Huh? Today? Why didn't I hear any news? Didn't we miss it?"

"Yes!" Li Xiuxian nodded helplessly.

at this time.

The communication group for parents of Class 4 of Doremi Kindergarten suddenly became lively.

Pengpeng’s dad: Is there any activity held in Doremi Kindergarten today? Why haven't I received any news at all? The teacher didn’t even notify me in the group! @西西瓜 Father! "

Sweet Mom: "Probably not! I didn't receive the notification either,"

Pengpeng’s father: “Wait a minute, something’s wrong! I just checked the WeChat Moments and saw this post from Sissi’s dad, saying that Sissi’s mother had packed him steamed pork with rice flour, stir-fried dried celery and stir-fried yam tablets from kindergarten. This should be Is it true? But then again, can the food in the kindergarten be taken out like this? Mom, please come out and help us!"

Pengpeng's mother: "I just called @西西丝的mother, but she didn't respond. I guess she was too busy to read the message..."

After Li Xiuxian saw these messages, she couldn't help but join in the chat.

Yuanyuan’s mother: “According to Sissi’s father, Sissi’s mother participated in the ‘canteen open day’ event held in the garden today and specially left some food for him to eat.”

Pengpeng's mother: "Today is the 'Canteen Open Day'? Why didn't I hear any news? Didn't the teacher inform me?"

Yuanyuan's mother: "It should be an informal decision! You forgot, Sissi's mother is the director of our class's parent committee..."

Pengpeng's mother: "No, I have been looking forward to this event for a long time..."

Miaomiao's mother: "I remember the parents of the middle class said that in previous years' canteen open day activities, a member of the parent committee was directly designated to participate. So, it is not impossible!"

Pengpeng’s mother: “I clearly promised that I would be considered, but now it’s like this. It’s so unfair... No, I have to go there early when I pick up my children from school in the afternoon and ask Principal Liang for a good look. Talk about it."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated with other parents. Everyone agreed and expressed their intention to go together to express their dissatisfaction and demands to Principal Liang.

When parents from other classes accidentally learned the news, they also exploded in the parent group.

Then they also agreed to go to school together and talk to Principal Liang.
