Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Liang Yinqiu had sharp eyes and immediately caught sight of Huang Jun's family of three in the bustling crowd.

hi~
It's true that when you mention Cao Cao, he will appear...

A glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes, and then a warm smile appeared on her face. She said respectfully to Mayor Yang beside her: "Mayor Yang, look, our chef Huang is just in front. Let me take you over to introduce him to him..."

Mayor Yang heard this and his eyes showed anticipation: "Since we have met, let's meet, Director Liang, please lead the way."

"Okay, Mayor Yang, leaders, please follow me..."

Liang Yinqiu Liang Yinqiu smiled, made an invitation gesture, and led everyone to Huang Jun's family, while calling out loudly: "Chef Huang, please wait a moment."

Ok?
It seems like someone is calling me?
Huang Jun vaguely heard the shouting and subconsciously stopped.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Weiwei, who was only thinking about exchanging her rewards, asked curiously when she saw this.

"I seem to hear Director Liang's voice."

Huang Jun answered as he turned around with a hint of doubt, and at a glance he saw Liang Yinqiu, Mayor Yang and others not far away through the crowd.

He nodded to Liang Yinqiu, understanding her, and then said gently to Qingqing and Weiwei, "Qingqing, Weiwei, Director Liang has something to ask Dad. Let's go exchange the gifts later, okay?"

"It's okay, Dad. You go ahead and do your work first. I can get the gift later." Qingqing answered sensibly.

Weiwei's little head nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

Huang Jun felt a warm current in his heart, holding the hands of the two little ones, and walked towards Liang Yinqiu and his group.
Seeing this, Liang Yinqiu immediately took a step forward enthusiastically and introduced to Mayor Yang: "Mayor Yang, this is our kindergarten chef Huang, Mr. Huang Jun."

Mayor Yang smiled, took the initiative to extend his right hand, and shook Huang Jun's hand tightly: "Mr. Huang, I have heard about your heroic deeds, and I really admire your courage and responsibility. It is really a great honor for me to meet you today."

Huang Jun was slightly stunned by the compliment, then smiled and said humbly: "Mayor Yang, you are so polite. All I did was fulfill my duty and responsibility. I am also very happy to meet you today."

Liang Yinqiu continued to add: "Chef Huang, Mayor Yang was impressed by your outstanding performance in the riot control drill. When he mentioned you just now, he thought about getting to know you if he had the chance..."

Huang Jun smiled warmly and nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude to Mayor Yang: "Thank you very much for Mayor Yang's attention and praise. This is a great encouragement to me. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

Mayor Yang listened to Huang Jun's words, and a trace of praise flashed in his eyes: "Chef Huang, your humility and courage are qualities that our society needs. I believe that your spirit will have a positive impact not only in the kindergarten, but also in the wider society."

Although Qingqing and Weiwei next to them didn't quite understand the specific content of the adults' conversation, they felt sweet and proud in their hearts when they saw their father being praised, and a proud smile appeared on their little faces.

Mayor Yang noticed the expressions of the two little ones. Seeing that they had been snuggling beside Huang Jun, he asked with a hint of curiosity and a warm smile: "Chef Huang, are these your two children? They look so much alike, as if they were carved from the same mold."

"Correct!"

Huang Jun nodded, his eyes full of fatherly love, and added: "They are my twin daughters."

Finally, he signaled to Qingqing and Weiwei with his eyes, asking them to call for help.

Weiwei understood what her father meant and responded immediately. She waved her hand politely to Mayor Yang and said in a clear voice, "Hello, Mayor Uncle..."

Although Qingqing was a little shy, she mustered up her courage and timidly called out, "Hello, Mayor!"

"Hey! Good!"

Mayor Yang bent down and asked them kindly: "Children, can you tell me your names?"

Weiwei raised her childish face, with an innocent smile between her eyebrows, and said sweetly: "Uncle Mayor, I am Weiwei, Huang Kewei is my real name, but everyone likes to call me Weiwei. Uncle, you can call me Weiwei too, I'm so happy~"

"Okay, Weiwei, it's a nice name. Uncle will remember it."

Mayor Yang smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze gently to Qingqing beside him.

Qingqing looked at Mayor Yang timidly and replied softly, "Uncle Mayor, I'm Qingqing, my full name is Huang Keqing, everyone calls me that."

"Qingqing, this name is just like you, gentle and beautiful."

Mayor Yang smiled and asked gently, "Can I call you this from now on, Uncle?"

"Yes, of course, Uncle Mayor."

Qingqing nodded obediently, with a faint blush on her face.

"So good!"

Although he has seen many different kinds of children, Mayor Yang still likes Qingqing's obedience and Weiwei's innocence and cuteness: "They are really good children."

When Weiwei heard the compliment, stars seemed to twinkle in her eyes. She said excitedly: "Thank you for the compliment, Mayor. I am so happy!"

Qingqing became even more shy. She lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you, Uncle Mayor."

Mayor Yang laughed and looked at Huang Jun and said, "Chef Huang, you are a great father. You have taught your two daughters very well."

Seeing this, Wei Guodong's eyes lit up instantly. He stepped forward swiftly and added enthusiastically, "Mayor Yang, Chef Huang is not only an excellent father, but his cooking skills are also unparalleled. The children in the kindergarten love every meal and snack he makes!"

Xin Jinghui immediately understood Wei Guodong's actions, and he agreed with a smile: "Yes, Chef Huang's cooking skills are indeed amazing. Last time, Director Wei and I had the honor of tasting his food. The taste is really indescribable. He is definitely the most skilled chef I have ever met."

"Really!"

Mayor Yang had heard of Huang Jun's cooking skills before, and after listening to the two's description, he was even more eager to learn. He smiled and said to Huang Jun, "Chef Huang, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely ask you for some tips and taste your cooking skills."

Although he said this, he still had a little expectation in his heart. It would be best if he could taste it today.

Their conversation made Wei Guodong and Xin Jinghui secretly delighted, as if they saw their carefully planned "food diplomacy" plan quietly moving towards the other side of success.

After all, the atmosphere has been set to this point, Liang Yinqiu and Huang Jun have to show some appreciation, right?

Especially Liang Yinqiu, with her intelligence and sharpness, she will definitely seize this excellent opportunity and invite Mayor Yang to lunch on the spot.

As the kindergarten chef, Huang Jun would naturally feel obligated to cook himself and present a feast for Mayor Yang's taste buds.

As Mayor Yang's entourage, they could naturally taste Huang Jun's mouth-watering food...

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but smile at each other, with a sly and expectant light in their eyes, waiting for Director Liang and Huang Jun to invite them.

however…

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel...

Huang Jun responded with a gentle smile and a hint of apology: "Good Mayor Yang, thank you very much for your appreciation. However, there is indeed no special arrangement in the garden today, and I still need to accompany the children to receive the reward. But please rest assured, next time I will find a suitable time and carefully prepare a few specialties for you to enjoy my cooking skills."

Wei Guodong: “(｀Д)!!”

Chef Huang, why don't you play by the rules?

Xin Jinghui: "!!!∑(Дノ)ノ"

No way?
This... is this a direct rejection?"

Don't panic! The head of the garden, Liang Yinqiu, hasn't expressed his opinion yet!

As long as she asks Chef Huang to do it, he will probably do it.

So...

They placed their hopes of turning the situation around on Liang Yinqiu.

pity…

All my expectations were ultimately in vain...

Liang Yinqiu smiled gently and responded politely: "Mayor Yang, our kindergarten welcomes you to visit again at any time. The next time you visit, we will make preparations in advance so that Chef Huang will have the opportunity to show you his culinary talent."

Wei Guodong: “…”

Xin Jinghui: "..."

Hey!
There is no hope for today's meal. I can't eat it...

Although they really wanted to taste Huang Jun's cooking, Liang Yinqiu and Huang Jun had already expressed their attitudes. In addition, Mayor Yang did not make any further proposals. Wei Guodong and Xin Jinghui felt it was inconvenient to say anything more and could only leave this expectation for next time.

Mayor Yang did not notice the subtle disappointment of Wei Guodong and Xin Jinghui. Although he felt a little regretful, he soon felt relieved: "Director Liang, Chef Huang, let's make it like this. I will tell you before I come next time, and then you can taste Huang Jun's cooking skills."

Huang Jun smiled and replied: "Mayor Yang, you are too polite. I will definitely cook you a delicious meal next time."

"Okay!" Mayor Yang clapped his hands happily and said, "Chef Huang, aren't you going to collect your reward? We're going there too, let's go together!"

"OK…"

Huang Jun smiled and nodded, then gently took Qingqing and Weiwei's hands, and the group slowly walked towards the reading room on the first floor of the teaching building, which was the place they had been waiting to receive their awards.

At this moment, the reading room is crowded and bustling.

Kindergarten directors Fei Juanfen and Liu Suyu are busy at their posts, handing out redemption coupons to families who have successfully collected all the stamps.

The faces of the fifteen lucky families were filled with joy that was hard to conceal. The children excitedly hugged the small gifts carefully prepared by the kindergarten, while the parents fondly flipped through the precious "family meal coupons", sharing this hard-earned sense of accomplishment and joy with each other.

Although those families who did not win the grand prize also received small gifts, they still felt a little disappointed.

What might be done?

Apart from blaming myself for not living up to the expectations and not being able to win this big award, I felt more envy.

The fifteen parents who received the "Family Meal Coupons" were so proud of themselves as they were met with envious glances from the parents around them.

This was also the first time they felt...

It feels so good to be envied by others!
what…

Let this envy come even more fiercely...

So...

Many parents who received the "Family Meal Coupons" deliberately showed their meal coupons in the crowd, and occasionally exclaimed: "Ah, this 'Family Meal Coupon' is so exquisitely made, and the pattern on it is obviously drawn by the teachers themselves."

In order to attract more envy...

"Director Fei, when can this 'family meal voucher' be used?"

Mai Linjie was so happy that she wanted to eat the food Huang Jun made at noon today, so she came over with the "family meal voucher" to ask.

Fei Juanfen smiled and replied, "Dear parent, the 'family meal voucher' can be used after the New Year's Day holiday. If you want to come for dinner on a certain day, just let the class teacher know in advance."

"Okay, thank you Director Fei!" Mai Linjie thanked him repeatedly.

The family was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, they were excitedly planning to go and watch the exciting moments of other families passing the levels.

After all, in the previous tense competition, they almost ran all the way to win, and many interesting levels were not savored.

Now that there is no pressure of competition, I just want to stroll around and see.

Having said that, their real intention is not entirely this.

That's right!

They just want to hold the "family meal coupons" and shuttle between classrooms, so that more parents will notice the coupons in their hands that symbolize honor and victory.

Let’s show off in a low-key way!
"Chef Huang, are you here to redeem your rewards as well?"

When the parents saw Huang Jun approaching with Qingqing and Weiwei, they all smiled friendly and greeted them warmly.

Their eyes inadvertently swept behind Huang Jun and found the figures of Liang Yinqiu, Mayor Yang and others, so they nodded in greeting as a polite gesture.

"Oh, you've already changed."

Huang Jun responded with a smile, and then led Qingqing and Weiwei to the area where Director Fei and Liu Suyu were.

"Coming!"

Liu Suyu greeted them warmly, then squatted down and said gently to Qingqing and Weiwei: "Qingqing, Weiwei, take a look at these gifts. If there is anything you like, pick one for yourself."

On the prize redemption table, piles of colorful small gifts were neatly arranged, all of which were surprises prepared for the children.

Qingqing immediately fell in love with the box of colored pencils and the Meiyangyang doll next to it and happily chose them; Weiwei was not slow either and directly grabbed the colored pencils and the Peppa Pig doll in her arms.

The two little babies turned around almost at the same time, holding the gifts high in their hands, and ran to Huang Jun, saying in a baby voice: "Daddy, these gifts are all for you~"

Huang Jun smiled so much that his eyes almost narrowed into slits. He took the gift and said gently, "Okay, Dad will keep it well for you."

When the other children saw this, they also rushed to give the gifts they had chosen to their parents.

In a moment...

The prize redemption area was filled with laughter and joy. Every family huddled together, enjoying this simple yet extremely warm and happy time.

Mayor Yang stood aside, watching these heartwarming scenes, feeling extremely gratified.

He turned to Liang Yinqiu and said, "Director Liang, your event this time is really great! Seeing these families so happy makes me happy too. Not only did you make the children happy, but you also gave them and their parents more good memories."

Liang Yinqiu smiled like a flower and replied, "Mayor Yang, thank you for your compliment. Our kindergarten has been working hard to create a happy and healthy growth environment for children. We hope that through such activities, parents can participate more in their children's growth, and at the same time, children can feel the importance of cooperation and hard work. Seeing everyone so happy, we also feel that all our efforts are worth it."

As she spoke, she looked at Mayor Yang, only to see that Mayor Yang's brows were slightly furrowed, and there seemed to be an inexplicable sadness on his face.

Huh?
What's that expression on Mayor Yang's face?
Did she say something wrong that made Mayor Yang unhappy? (End of this chapter)
