Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Huang Jun, holding Qingqing and Weiwei in his arms, walked leisurely among the bustling crowd outside the auditorium, stepped through the shadow of the porch, and slowly walked up the stairs. His original plan was to go to the large (4) class classroom on the third floor, which was the nearest challenge point.

but…

As he witnessed all the parents flocking towards that common goal, an idea quietly sprouted in his mind.

He decides.

Don't follow the crowd, but find a new way.

So...

He looked down at the two expectant little faces in his arms, his eyes twinkling with loving light: "Qingqing, Weiwei, Daddy has a good idea. Let's not go to the big class to join in the fun, but go to your own class to play games, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Qingqing immediately looked at Huang Jun with her clear eyes, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded without hesitation: "Yeah! Dad, I listen to you!"

"Yeah~"

Weiwei followed closely behind, nodding repeatedly, her little face filled with excitement: "We'll go wherever Daddy says to go! I really want to play the 'Blowing Ping Pong Ball' game in our class first!"

Qingqing also excitedly echoed, "I want to play it too. We have been secretly practicing at home for a long time. We will definitely pass it in one try!"

Weiwei looked at her sister with a smile, her eyes flashing with the same expectation: "Hehe, sister, I thought so too!"

"Haha, it looks like our little warriors can't wait to show off their skills!"

Huang Jun couldn't help but smile at the two little guys who looked so eager to try. He then announced gently, "Then we have happily decided! Let's go to Class 4 and try to pass the test successfully in one try!"

As he spoke, he carefully adjusted the position of the children in his arms so that Qingqing and Weiwei could sit comfortably and safely. Then he took steady steps and continued walking towards the small (4) class classroom on the first floor.

Along the way, they were pleasantly surprised to find that many families shared their ideas and chose to avoid the noisy crowds and seek out relatively quiet classes to explore the joy of the game that belonged to them...

therefore.

When Huang Jun led the children into the classroom of the Small Grade 4 class, many families who shared the same idea as him had quietly gathered behind them.

The classroom is decorated in a simple yet childlike style.

Cabinets and chairs are placed neatly against the wall, leaving enough space for the empty area in the center.

Ten carefully decorated tables have become the perfect stage for the "Blowing Ping Pong Ball" game, waiting for the children to show off their skills.

Seeing the parents arriving one after another, Xie Jianing smiled warmly and greeted them warmly: "Dear parents, welcome to the 'Blowing Ping Pong Ball' Challenge Area of ​​Class 4..."

She then briefly and clearly introduced the rules of the game to everyone so that every parent present could quickly understand and join in the game.

Huang Jun, who was already familiar with the rules of the game, was standing in front of a table holding a chime, ready to start their challenge.

Although the age characteristics of children in small classes are fully taken into consideration when designing the games to ensure that the difficulty is not too high, the games will not be too simple either, because that would lose the fun of the challenge.

Just like this "Blowing Ping Pong Ball" game, although it seems that you win by just blowing the ball into two water cups, but in fact, the two water cups are not right next to each other, there is a small distance between them, so you need to use some strength and skills.

All in all, it's still quite difficult.

"Dad, watch me, I'm about to start!"

Qingqing announced excitedly in her clear and melodious voice like a silver bell.

After she finished speaking, she widened her eyes and stared at the ping-pong ball above the water cup, which was waiting for the challenge. She took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell slightly, as if she was trying to gather all the courage and strength in her body into this moment.

Then, her little face puffed up, like a little squirrel ready to pounce, and she used all her strength to blow out a breath...

However, things did not go as planned. The ping-pong ball just jumped lightly, as if playing a prank on Qingqing. It deliberately avoided her target, rolled happily around on the table, and finally jumped away from the table mischievously and fell to the ground.

A trace of confusion and surprise suddenly appeared on Qingqing's little face, and her big round eyes widened even wider, as if saying, "Huh? What's going on? Why don't you follow the routine?"

"Oh, this ping-pong ball is such a naughty ghost, it sneaked away by itself!"

Qingqing frowned slightly as she spoke, her look both adorable and revealing a seriousness and determination to refuse to admit defeat.

"Oh, what a pity, it was just a little bit short!"

Weiwei watched from the side and felt sorry for her sister Qingqing. She was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet, but there was nothing she could do to help.

Huang Jun quickly adjusted his posture while holding her, gently supporting her little butt with one hand and wrapping his other hand around her waist to make her sit more steadily.

He also took a steady horse stance, leaned forward, and gave Qingqing the most solid support at a lower angle. At the same time, he said in an encouraging tone: "Qingqing, it's okay. Let's try again. We will definitely succeed this time!"

There is no limit on the number of times you can challenge all the games in the park.

In other words, as long as you can make the ping-pong ball fall into the water cup continuously and stably, you will get the stamp of victory.

so…

Don't worry too much about temporary gains and losses. The most important thing is to relax and enjoy the process.

When they started blowing the ping pong balls again...

The parents nearby also brought their children to join the challenge. Soon, the classroom became lively and more and more people came.

The "Blowing Ping Pong" game can accommodate ten families at the same time. Since each family group has its own table, there is no need to worry about confusion.

"I thought there would be fewer children and parents in the small class, but I didn't expect there would be quite a lot... Why don't we go check out other classes first..."

In order to get the tempting "family meal coupon", parents were racing against time to complete the task. Some parents walked to the door of the small (4) class and saw that it was already crowded with people, with a long queue waiting to play. After thinking about it, they decided to go to other classes to complete other challenges first, so as to avoid running out of time.

Some people leave and some come.

Just when Qingqing relied on her perseverance to successfully blow the ping-pong balls into the water cups one by one, winning applause from the whole audience...

Wan Zhenhong and his family of three stepped into the bustling scene with full confidence.

However.
The beautiful vision came to an abrupt end in the next moment.

Looking at the scene in the classroom where parents were holding their children and the children were concentrating on blowing ping-pong balls, Wan Zhenhong couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief: "What...what's going on? Why are the children blowing the ping-pong balls instead of the parents?!"

When he thought about how the "ping-pong ball blowing" technique he had practiced hard at home was now useless, his face was filled with loss and frustration.

Hey!
This is really a case of man proposing but God disposes...

It is said that "When God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you, but as soon as you open it, it closes again"...

This is the rhythm of killing him...

Liu Jinyan, who had not expected this situation, was also stunned. She subconsciously cast a helpless look towards Wan Zhenhong, as if to say "your information is wrong".

What can Wan Zhenhong do?

I could only shrug my shoulders at Liu Jinyan innocently, as if to say: I am also a victim...

Liu Jinyan: "..."

at this point!

Just accept this fact~
Liu Jinyan knows very well that now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The top priority is to integrate into the game as quickly as possible and complete the challenge.

She said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it, don't waste time, let's get started!"

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go over and wait in line!"

Wan Zhenhong did not dare to delay and nodded quickly, then turned around and joined the team on the side.

"Wow, Qingqing, you're awesome! You actually passed the level successfully, that's amazing!" Niu Niu approached excitedly, her eyes closely following Xie Jianing as she stamped the shining stamp of "Challenge Successful" on Qingqing's garden map.

"My dad is the best." Qingqing's baby voice was full of joy, and her little face was filled with pride and joy: "He held me and kept cheering me up. I just blew gently, and the ping-pong ball jumped into another water cup obediently. It was really that easy!"

“Is it really that easy?”

Niu Niu was a little skeptical at first, but then she witnessed Huang Jun holding Weiwei, and Weiwei blew the ping-pong ball gently to make it jump over the obstacle. Her doubts disappeared instantly.

"Niuniu, it's our turn now. Come and blow the ping-pong ball!" When it was Wan Zhenhong's turn, he waved to Niuniu gently.

"Okay, Dad, I'll be there soon..."

Niuniu responded, turned around and nodded to Wan Zhenhong, then waved goodbye to Qingqing: "Qingqing, my dad is calling me, I'm going to queue up first, I'll come and play with you when I'm done playing!"

After saying that, Niu Niu walked towards Wan Zhenhong happily with her short legs.

Wan Zhenhong quickly bent down, picked her up, and patiently taught her how to master the technique of blowing the ping-pong ball.

Niu Niu listened attentively. At this time, Huang Jun and Wei Wei had successfully passed the level. Wei Wei shouted excitedly: "Yeah, we succeeded! Dad, we succeeded."

"Dad saw it, Weiwei is awesome!"

Huang Jun responded with a smile on his face. "Sister, you are so awesome!"

Qingqing was also happy for Weiwei. She tilted her head back and reminded him, "Go find Teacher Xie to get your stamp as a souvenir!"

"Yeah, I'll go right away!"

Weiwei took the park map and ran towards teacher Xie Jianing with great anticipation. When she received praise from the teacher, a bright smile broke out on her face, as if the whole world was brightened by it.

Families around were eagerly scrambling for stamps to win "family meal coupons," so everyone came and went in a hurry.

In contrast, Huang Jun seemed calm and unhurried, without such pressure.

Seeing that Qingqing and Weiwei were very interested in watching other children playing ping-pong balls, he did not urge them to leave, but chose to stay with them quietly and immerse themselves in this joyful atmosphere together.

"Oh, what a pity, we were just a little bit away..."

When Niu Niu tried to blow the ping-pong ball but failed, Qingqing and Weiwei seemed even more anxious than she was.

Huang Jun reached out and touched their heads, comforting them: "It's okay, we also succeeded after many attempts before. The important thing is to enjoy the process, keep working hard!"

The words fell.

Under Wan Zhenhong's guidance, Niu Niu's ping-pong ball was getting further and further away from the target. However, when she blew it casually, the ping-pong ball unexpectedly jumped directly into the next water cup.

"Don't talk anymore. Let Niuniu blow it based on her feelings..."

Liu Jinyan was worried that Wan Zhenhong's guidance would disrupt Niu Niu's rhythm, so she reminded him softly.

After completing this level and stamping it with a sense of accomplishment, Niu Niu and her family couldn't wait to embark on the journey to the next challenge point.

In a hurry, they did not forget to bid a brief farewell to Huang Jun's family: "Chef Huang (Qingqing Baba), Qingqing, Weiwei, we will go over there first and see you later!"

Before they finished speaking, their figures had hurriedly disappeared at the classroom door.

"Goodbye Niuniu!"

Qingqing and Weiwei waved their hands in the direction where Niuniu was going, and then they suddenly remembered their next schedule: "Dad, let's go to other classes and participate in other challenges as soon as possible!"

"Okay, let's go now..."

Huang Jun responded with a smile, took their hands, and led them to the threshold of the next door Small (3) class classroom.

As soon as I entered the classroom...

A warm and energetic atmosphere instantly surrounded them.

What is going on here is a unique balloon-stomping game. All the parents are in high spirits, with a colorful balloon tied to each foot and their little babies on their backs. A fierce "balloon defense battle" is in full swing.

In this game, only by protecting your own balloon from being stepped on and successfully stepping on other people's balloons can you be qualified to get the stamp; once your balloon bursts, it means that the challenge starts all over again.

Parents who might normally give in to each other, now showed an unprecedented fighting spirit for the tempting "family meal voucher" reward.

A fight that doesn't care about the other person's life or death~
"Qingqing, Weiwei, do you want to try this exciting game?" Huang Jun looked at the anticipation flashing in the eyes of the two little ones, and an urge to try it surged in his heart, so he gently asked for their opinions.

When the two little babies heard this, they immediately nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes!"

"Okay, let's play this first..."

Huang Jun went to Jiang Xinzhuo, who was in charge of the game, to get the balloons and carefully tied them to his legs.

Then, carry the chime steadily on your back and join in.

"Come on, Daddy, Daddy is the best, Daddy, step on their balloons!"

Qingqing was shouting excitedly on Huang Jun's back, and Weiwei was waving her hands beside him to cheer for her father.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the rules of the game, they would probably have been eager to take part in the game themselves, fighting side by side with their fathers and enjoying the fun of popping balloons together.

Huang Jun nimbly avoided the footsteps coming from all around him, protecting the balloon on his feet to keep it safe. At the same time, he found the right opportunity and stepped down in the direction pointed by the little ones.

"Snapped!"

The balloon burst with one hit.

It also announced the elimination of this parent, and at the same time aroused the fighting spirit of other parents.

then…

Parents chased each other, competing to chase the target balloon, and the cheers of the children and the explosions of the balloons intertwined...

For a while…

How can one describe the chaos in the classroom?

"Qingqing, hold on to daddy tight, don't fall down."

Huang Jun adjusted his carrying posture.

As Huang Jun spoke, he adjusted the posture of carrying the chime on his back, then stared at the balloons on the parents' legs, kicked again, and successfully burst a balloon.

But he did not give other opponents any chance to breathe, and continued to pursue his victory with unstoppable force, declaring the balloons of the other two parents "dead" one after another, successfully completing the challenge of this round of the game.

When Huang Jun carried Weiwei on his back again, embarked on the journey to victory again, and finally passed the level again, he was already sweating profusely.

I'm so tired!

After Qingqing and Weiwei successfully obtained the second seal, Huang Jun smiled and gently suggested, "Qingqing, Weiwei, how about we play some relaxing games next? Dad needs to recover his strength first."

Qingqing's eyes couldn't help but reveal concern, and her young face was full of heartache: "Daddy, are you tired? Let me rub your shoulders and back!"

Weiwei also tilted her head back and said with concern: "Daddy, I'm very good at back massage, let me help you relax!"

Huang Jun felt a warm current in his heart. He smiled and shook his head, "No, no, my dears. Daddy will be full of energy after a short rest. Let's go to the Middle (2) class. There is a lantern-making game there..."

"Mmmmm~"

Qingqing and Weiwei readily agreed and headed towards Class 2 together.

……

"Mayor Yang, leaders, please come this way..."

With a smile on her face, Liang Yinqiu gracefully led Mayor Yang and his entourage, shuttling between classes filled with laughter.

What we saw along the way…

They are all warm and competitive scenes of parents and children working together to participate in games.

This close cooperation and effort made everyone present feel the strong parent-child joy.

Wei Guodong and Xin Jinghui followed closely behind and tried several times to get close to Liang Yinqiu to talk to her, but seeing that she was always staying beside Mayor Yang and explaining things carefully, they had to give up.

The two smiled at each other helplessly, their eyes conveying the tacit understanding of "let's talk about it later".

Just as Mayor Yang was immersed in this warmth and vitality, and was curious about what method Liang Yinqiu used to make parents show unprecedented enthusiasm for participation...

A clear high-pitched voice suddenly sounded, announcing the good news: "Congratulations to the family of Lin Sixuan from Class 1 for being the first to collect all the stamps and winning a small gift and a 'family meal voucher'! Congratulations to Class ..."

This sudden good news answered the questions in Mayor Yang's mind.

He turned to Liang Yinqiu and asked, "Director Liang, it seems that the enthusiasm of the parents is really extraordinary. There must be a trick here, right? Is it related to this 'family meal voucher'?"

"Mayor Yang, you really hit the nail on the head. The parents are so enthusiastic because of our 'family meal voucher'."

Liang Yinqiu nodded and further explained: "This 'family meal voucher' is a special reward in our kindergarten. Parents can have a chance to get it by participating in games and challenges and collecting 12 stamps as quickly as possible. It allows a family of three to enjoy a meal carefully prepared by our kindergarten chef Huang."

"Chef Huang?"

Mayor Yang thought for a moment, then said, "Isn't he the chef Huang who bravely fought the rioters during the riot drill without knowing anything about it?"

Liang Yinqiu seemed a little surprised: "Yes, it is him. Mayor Yang, you actually know the chef Huang in our garden?"

Mayor Yang smiled and nodded. "It was reported in the local news. How could I not know about it? Not only is he an excellent cook, but he also showed extraordinary courage in an emergency. It's really rare. If I have the chance, I must meet him in person."

"Okay, when we meet Chef Huang, I will introduce him to you," Liang Yinqiu responded.

at this time…

Huang Jun, who had slowly collected all twelve stamps, was leading his two precious daughters to the prize-giving area to receive their small gifts... (End of this chapter)
