Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Chapter 185 Afraid of comparison in everything

"Because I happened to meet you, leaving beautiful footprints. The wind blows the flowers and sheds tears like rain, because I don't want to be separated..."

Xu Sijun put his hands easily on the steering wheel, nodded slightly to the beat of the music flowing in the car, stared intently at the changing scenery ahead, and drove towards home...

At this moment, she had no idea that after she left, her husband showed off their love in the circle of friends.

Those words full of happiness instantly caused a sensation in the circle of friends.

What made her even more unexpected was that her husband's move attracted the attention of many parents and sparked a small heated discussion in the parent group.

Some parents were even dissatisfied with the kindergarten's predetermined quota and expressed that they would go to the kindergarten to ask for an explanation.

of course.

Even if she knew all this, she could only do nothing to help...

What could she have done wrong?
She just followed the kindergarten's arrangements!

"No problem, let's stay in the same place!" Xu Sijun replied without hesitation, "I happen to be nearby. I'll go over now. Let's see you later!"

"Dingling bell~"

After parking the car, she immediately opened the door, quickened her pace, and walked in the direction of her cousin.

Xu Sijun and Qiu Jingwen gave a warm hug.

No need to ask.

With that said, she quickly picked up the phone, and Qiu Jingwen's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, Sijun, what are you doing?"

She was wearing a light blue dress, standing tall and elegant, her eyes moving among the people coming and going, as if she was looking for a familiar figure.

She looked down and saw that the caller ID was her cousin Qiu Jingwen's number.

"cousin!"

Xu Sijun saw Qiu Jingwen standing at the door of the restaurant at a glance.

When Xu Sijun heard this, she thought it was a good idea, and she just wanted to have a good chat with her cousin.

The corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, and she whispered to herself: "I was just thinking about 'Cao Cao', and 'Cao Cao' is here!"

The moment their eyes met, both showed expressions of surprise.

Xu Sijun also knew that her cousin was looking for her!
So...

A clear cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, pulling Xu Sijun back from the world of music.

"What can I do as a housewife!" Xu Sijun smiled and briefly explained today's events: "I just participated in the 'canteen open day' event of my daughter's kindergarten today, and I just went to my husband's car dealership. I sent him some food and he is about to go home! Cousin, what are you going to do with me?
Qiu Jingwen lazily replied: "What else can I do with you? Let's eat! I'm too lazy to cook at home alone, so why don't you come over and stay with me? Let's find a place to have a good meal."

After hearing her cousin's "ok" response, Xu Sijun hung up the phone, changed direction at the next intersection, and drove towards the agreed-upon restaurant.

My cousin thought for a while and suggested: "How about we go to the restaurant we often go to? The taste there is not only in line with your preferences, but also my favorite, and the environment is quite elegant and comfortable. Oh, by the way. Is it convenient for you to go there now? If not, we can move to another place."

So she asked: "Okay, I happen to have something to tell you, so where can we meet?"

After a while…

The car slowly drove into the agreed place.

"Sijun, you're finally here!" Qiu Jingwen smiled and let go of her arms, holding Xu Sijun's hand and saying, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in and sit down!"

With that said, Qiu Jingwen took Xu Sijun's arm affectionately, and the two walked into the restaurant talking and laughing.

I chose a seat by the window and sat down.

Qiu Jingwen took out her mobile phone, scanned the QR code, and entered the ordering system.

Her fingers flicked across the screen, ordering a few of their favorite dishes.

Then, she raised her head, looked at Xu Sijun, and asked gently: "Sijun, see if there is anything else you want to eat, just order it, you're welcome."

Xu Sijun recalled that she didn't seem to be full from the lunch meal. Her eyes wandered over the menu, and finally settled on steamed pork with rice noodles and fish head and tofu soup.

She smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's add steamed pork and fish head and tofu soup."

"Row!"

Qiu Jingwen immediately ordered one.

After ordering, Qiu Jingwen chatted with Xu Sijun about recent trivial matters in life, and the topic unknowingly shifted to the children.

Qiu Jingwen proudly talked about the government kindergarten where her daughter Guoguo attended.

He talked about how superior the educational environment there was, how strong the teaching staff was, and also mentioned the status of the government kindergarten as a model kindergarten.

Although her daughter Guoguo is one year older than Sissi, because Guoguo was born at the end of the year, she has to wait until the next year to start kindergarten. Therefore, like Sissi, she is a new kid in the small class who entered school this year.

When I was choosing a kindergarten for my two little ones to attend...

She once strongly recommended Xu Sijun to enroll in a government kindergarten, hoping that Guoguo and Xixi could become classmates and spend a happy childhood together.

Unfortunately…

Xu Sijun did not adopt her suggestion at that time, but politely declined her kindness and chose a second-class kindergarten with relatively average comprehensive strength-Doremi Kindergarten.

This made her quite confused about it!

I don’t understand how Xu Sijun thought about it and made such a decision.

In her opinion, children's education is crucial. It is said that children must win at the starting line, and choosing a good kindergarten is an important part of children's education.

therefore!

She seriously suspected that Xu Sijun chose this second-class kindergarten at that time because of financial considerations. Maybe he was reluctant to part with the 20,000 yuan in trust fees? !
But the problem is...

Her husband has a pretty good ability to make money, so why is he so frugal in his children’s education?
Qiu Jingwen said with some regret: "It's a pity that you didn't listen to me and go to an agency kindergarten. Otherwise, Sissi and Guoguo could go to school together and enjoy better educational resources there."

Xu Sijun responded disapprovingly: "Actually, I am quite satisfied with the Doremi Kindergarten where my family, Sissi, is currently studying. The environment in the kindergarten is quite warm, and the teachers are also gentle and patient, and they treat the children very carefully and professionally. And, you know, the food in the kindergarten is very good. Sissi is very happy and full every day, and she always tells me how delicious the food in the kindergarten is when she comes home.”

Speaking of this, Xu Sijun suddenly remembered and asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, how is Guoguo's eating situation in the agency kindergarten? Has it gotten better? I remember you mentioned it before, Guoguo never gets enough to eat in the garden, so she looks for something to eat as soon as she gets home..."

Qiu Jingwen: "..."

Hey!
This kindergarten is pretty good, with professional teachers and complete facilities. But the food is a bit lacking...

She smiled helplessly and said: "To be honest, Guoguo's eating situation in the kindergarten is really worrying. She is picky about food and doesn't like to eat the food in the kindergarten. She always says that the food in the kindergarten is not good. Delicious. I have been reporting this situation to the teacher, hoping to adjust the dishes, but the effect is not obvious. Alas, it is still unsatisfactory! "

She changed the topic and asked curiously: "Sijun, you just said that Sissi was very happy eating in the kindergarten, and you also said that the food in the kindergarten is delicious. Is this true?"

Xu Sijun nodded and affirmed: "Of course it's true! Sissi is very active in going to school now, even on Saturdays and Sundays, she clamored to go to kindergarten. I was surprised at first, but when I asked, the little guy turned out to be a glutton. To be honest, I didn’t believe it at first, but..."

She paused and then said: "By the way, I went to her kindergarten today to participate in the 'canteen open day event' and tasted the food in the garden. It was indeed very delicious. Every dish was delicious. I also specially I took some home for my husband to eat, and he kept saying it was delicious! Do you think it can be fake?"

After saying that, Xu Sijun took out his mobile phone, opened the gallery, and showed Qiu Jingwen the photos taken in it.

The dishes in the photos are eye-catching.

The stir-fried yam slices have a clear color and look refreshing and crispy; the steamed pork with rice noodles has an attractive color that makes you want to eat even through the screen; the fish head and tofu soup has a rich soup with an attractive milky white color, which makes you want to cook it just by looking at it. The essence is there; and the dried celery is fried and fragrant, and the color is bright.

What surprised her even more was that even a bowl of ordinary rice looked extraordinarily crystal clear.

Let’s not talk about the taste. Judging from the appearance of these dishes, they are many times better than the food in government kindergartens.

Qiu Jingwen asked in disbelief: "Is this the lunch in Qianqian's kindergarten?"

Xu Sijun nodded and confirmed: "Yes! This is the daily lunch in the garden. Three dishes and one soup. It is different every day, and they are all delicious!"

After hearing this, Qiu Jingwen still had some doubts: "Could it be because of the 'canteen open day event' that the garden did this on purpose?"

Xu Sijun shook his head with a smile and explained: "No, teachers in the kindergarten usually send photos of children eating to the class group, and they are all of the same level. Moreover, I went to participate in the event today and saw it with my own eyes. When it comes to their usual cooking process, they are really attentive. The snacks they eat in the garden, except for fruits, are usually made by themselves, not finished products bought from outside. They also want the children to eat more fruits. The chef also specially carved fruits into various small animals..."

With that said, he showed Qiu Jingwen the video taken today and the photos from before.

I am afraid of comparison in everything. This kind of comparison...

Qiu Jingwen suddenly felt that the institutional kindergarten she chose did not seem so popular.

Thinking about the extra 20,000 yuan she had spent to enter an agency kindergarten, she couldn't help but start to wonder whether the investment was worth it.

But then again.

Why don’t government kindergartens have such good chefs?
Qiu Jingwen couldn't help but said with some envy: "I didn't expect that the food in Doremi Kindergarten was so good. The chef is so attentive! The snacks in our kindergarten are all bagged bread, small cakes and the like bought from outside. At most, they are Just make some sweet soup, and the dishes are mostly limited to frozen foods such as sausages, chicken legs, and chicken wings. There are almost no nutritious dishes like braised pork. The soups are also the same as tomato egg drop soup, ribs and kelp soup. Comparing the food in your kindergarten, the food in this institution's kindergarten is a bit perfunctory, and I always want to cook simple and cheap dishes..."

Seeing that her cousin kept complaining about the food in the garden, Xu Sijun couldn't help but tell her her thoughts: "Cousin, actually I have been thinking, how about you let Guoguo transfer to our Duo Laimi Kindergarten! You all I don’t know, but not long after school started, two children have already transferred here. The environment and food here are very good, maybe Guoguo will like it.”

Qiu Jingwen was a little moved and a little hesitant.

After all, transferring to another school is a big deal and requires careful consideration.

She smiled and responded: "Sijun, I will seriously consider your proposal. However, transferring to another school is not a trivial matter. I have to discuss it with her father and have a deeper understanding of the teaching quality and curriculum of Doremi Kindergarten. . After all, we hope that Guoguo can grow in a better environment.”

Chat room.

The dishes were all served.

The two stopped talking about this topic and began to concentrate on eating and enjoying this rare time together.

The steamed pork with rice noodles and fish head and tofu soup both looked very good, but after eating the ones in the garden, Xu Sijun felt that the taste was a bit unsatisfactory and did not suit his taste.
