Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

The reason why Qu Qing asked this was because she always had a small hope in her heart: she hoped that the kindergarten activities this semester would be like the New Year's Day party last semester, with "family meal coupons" as rewards, so that she could go with her family to eat the delicious food made by Huang Jun.

Last semester, although her family tried their best, they still failed to win the precious "family meal voucher" and thus missed the opportunity to have close contact with Huang Jun's delicious food.

This incident became a big regret in her heart, and she would feel a little sad every time she thought about it, but it also made her more looking forward to the activities in the new semester.

I am eagerly looking forward to the kindergarten holding a similar event again this semester, so that I can have the opportunity to "avenge my previous shame", come out on top, win the "family meal voucher", and taste Huang Jun's exquisite cooking skills.

Especially when she had just tasted the glutinous rice balls made by Huang Jun himself, the unforgettable deliciousness made her desire for the "family meal coupon" even stronger, so much so that she couldn't help but ask the questions in her heart.

Li Xiuxian heard the hidden meaning in Qu Qing's words, and at the same time she was also looking forward to it.

She also very much hopes that the kindergarten can continue to hold similar events to give her the opportunity to win the competition again.

So, she couldn't help but echo Qu Qing's question and asked Teacher Yang: "Yes, Teacher Yang, Teacher Xie, I also want to know when the kindergarten will organize activities this semester?"

When Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing heard their questions, they were stunned again and again.

Uh…

The kindergarten hasn't officially started yet, but parents are already so concerned about the kindergarten's activities?
Are they so eager to witness the children's wonderful performance?
The two of them had no idea what the two parents meant and were somewhat surprised by their enthusiasm, at the same time feeling a little helpless.

but.

Out of politeness, Yang Yuxi still put on a smile and gently answered the parents' questions: "On Children's Day, our kindergarten will have relevant art performances."

"Yes, there are indeed exciting activities waiting for everyone on Children's Day!" Xie Jianing nodded slightly to confirm.

As for the spring outing and May Day activities, they did not mention them because spring outings often do not require parental accompaniment, and there are no performances arranged for children on May Day, so parents will not be invited to participate.

But when they thought about the Children's Day coming soon, they couldn't help but sigh with mixed feelings.

For teachers, arranging programs is undoubtedly a major challenge that requires patience, love and responsibility.

Even those teachers who are the most gentle and amiable on weekdays will inevitably feel an indescribable fatigue and slight irritability during the long rehearsal process.

The preparation of the program is not only the hard work of the teachers, but the children also bear a lot of pressure.

Children have difficulty concentrating for a long time. It is hard to make them practice repeatedly and immerse themselves in the rehearsal of the same program day after day...

Let me ask you, which child has this kind of patience?

Can you bear it?

Recalling the preparation process for the last National Day event, they almost exhausted all their "supernatural powers" in order to allow the children to perfectly perform "The National Flag is So Beautiful".

Now, thinking about the Children's Day coming up in a few months, and the new round of rehearsals and teaching about to begin, they can't help but feel a headache and a lot of pressure...

After hearing this, Qu Qing became even more interested!
She couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher Yang, will there be 'family meal coupons' as rewards on Children's Day?"

Li Xiuxian also asked with great anticipation: "On Children's Day, can parents come to the kindergarten to have dinner with their children?"

Xie Jianing: “?(。ヘ°)”

Saying.

How are Children's Day and eating related?
Aren’t people usually here to watch children’s performances?

Yang Yuxi: “∑(△｀)?!”

Uh…

Could it be that she misunderstood?!
It turns out that the two parents planned to take advantage of the holiday to enjoy the meals at the kindergarten!

Before the two of them had time to explain in detail, three parents who had just entered the classroom to deliver bedding to their children inadvertently captured their conversation, and expressions of surprise and joy suddenly appeared on their faces.

"Excuse me, are you discussing the issue that the kindergarten will invite parents to have lunch with them on Children's Day?" Xu Sijun asked in an almost astonished tone.

"Really? That's great! Even if I have to take a special leave that day, I will definitely come!" Miaomiao's mother could not hide her excitement and joy.

"That's great, that's great! I have always been looking forward to such an opportunity... Thank God, this day has finally come!" Hanghang's mother said with joy on her face, with anticipation shining in her eyes.

Hearing these voices, Qu Qing, Li Xiuxian and the three teachers quickly put the remaining dumplings into their mouths, chewed and swallowed them hastily, and calmly placed the bowls and spoons on the small table, not forgetting to wipe their mouths gently with their hands.

To cover up the evidence of eating alone!
Afterwards, Qu Qing suddenly became dramatic, as if she had found a soulmate, and happily hugged Hanghang's mother's shoulders: "Hanghang's mother, I feel the same way! I have been looking forward to this day for a long time..."

Yang Yuxi looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling confused: Uh...was it because I didn't express myself clearly enough, or did they understand it wrongly?
Xie Jianing was also speechless, and at the same time, she felt that the style of the painting had suddenly become so wrong...

Seeing the parents immersed in their own understanding, their excitement was beyond words, Yang Yuxi quickly clarified: "Dear parents, you may have some misunderstandings. On Children's Day, our kindergarten mainly arranges children to perform on stage, and parents appreciate their performances in the audience. In addition, everyone should also know that the kindergarten does not provide lunch on the day of the event."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on the parents' hearts, instantly extinguishing their enthusiasm.

Qu Qing's eyes rolled, and suddenly she came up with a brilliant idea: "Teacher Yang, in fact, watching a performance and having a meal are not contradictory. We can enjoy the children's wonderful performances while enjoying the food. What do you think, right?"

Hey!
That’s a great idea!
Li Xiuxian gave Qu Qing a look of approval that said "You have more ideas" and echoed, "Yes, just imagine, watching the children's performances while tasting the delicious meals made by Qingqing's father. What a pleasant and happy thing that would be!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the performance and the food are a perfect match!" Xu Sijun also quickly agreed.

Hanghang's mother took over the topic and said, "It's popular in movie theaters to eat hot pot while watching movies. Our kindergarten must keep up with the times. So, Teacher Yang, I think Pengpeng's mother's suggestion is really good."

Miaomiao's mother also nodded in agreement: "I think so too. I strongly suggest that the kindergarten consider this plan..."

Yang Yuxi: “╮(─▽─)╭”

Uh…

Dear parents, you hope that on this happy Children's Day, you can enjoy the carefully prepared performances of your children and taste delicious food at the same time. This vision is indeed very tempting.

But you have to understand clearly... Children's Day is a holiday for children, not a holiday for parents...

Also, it seems like you guys are not only trying to tire out the teachers on Children's Day, you're also trying to tire out the kitchen staff as well...

Just for the sake of satisfying one's own appetite!
Don't you feel any pain in your conscience when you do this?
Of course, it doesn't matter if she works harder, but if Huang Jun has to suffer, she will be the first one to disagree...

Xie Jianing: "(ノ￣ー￣)ノノ(_ノ)"

These parents are really bold...

Xie Jianing wouldn't even dare to think so in her dreams!
Uh…

It's outrageous. It's outrageous to open the door. It's outrageous to the extreme...

Yang Yuxi smiled gently and said, "Over the years, our kindergarten's Children's Day activities have always been mainly performances."

This means that the proposal to arrange catering during the event may be difficult to achieve.”

but…

This did not put the parents off.

Qu Qing then proposed a new suggestion: "Teacher Yang, if it really doesn't work, then why don't we give up the performance and hold a dinner party in the kindergarten. Of course, the prerequisite is that Qingqing's father is the chef~"

Although parents feel immense joy when they see their children performing on stage, they also know that behind just a few minutes of performance are the countless hard work put in by the children and their teachers off stage.

Children's Day, this happy festival belongs to children, the original intention of which is to let them enjoy happiness and be carefree.

But when the children are rehearsing hard for their performances, the adults are just sitting in the audience. Such a scene makes people reflect on whether it has deviated from the original intention of the festival and seems to be putting the cart before the horse.

Children's Day should bring children more happiness and should not become a "children's performance festival" that children must complete.

"That's true. Teachers and children are extremely busy rehearsing programs in the hot summer. Instead of doing this, it would be better for us to share delicious food and spend a pleasant time together in the kindergarten." Xu Sijun added in agreement.

"Pengpeng's mother's suggestion is really great! In this way, teachers and children can avoid the pain of rehearsal. If the children know that they can have good food even if they don't rehearse, they will definitely be very happy." Li Xiuxian responded positively and added: "Teacher Yang, don't worry, we can take care of the meal expenses ourselves."

"Yes, yes, we can just pay for the meal ourselves." Hanghang's mother also quickly agreed, "Teacher Yang, please talk to Principal Liang and confirm the amount of the meal fee. Talk to Xixi's mother, and then we can collect it in the group! Or you can collect more class meeting fees this semester and deduct it directly from the class meeting fees."

Yang Yuxi: "..."

Xie Jianing: “ヾ(▽)ノ”

What you said makes a lot of sense, and I can't refute it, let alone reject it...

At first, Xie Jianing thought that these parents’ ideas were too far-fetched, but when she learned that there was no need to rehearse the performance, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She instantly felt that these parents seemed to have turned into cute little angels. This idea was really wonderful!

Leading the small class of children to rehearse the Children's Day program, the hardships involved can only be understood by those who have experienced it personally.

In addition, it is a hot summer day and people are already irritable. Some children just can't learn no matter how they are taught, or they have learned but don't follow the formation properly, which makes it extremely difficult for teachers not to lose their temper.

But every time the teachers see the children become quiet instantly after they have lost their temper, they feel filled with regret; but when the children start running around again, their anger will instantly ignite again.

This cycle once brought them to the brink of collapse.

so!

If the children are asked to choose between performing and eating, she will support eating without hesitation.

So, she nodded involuntarily and said, "Dear parents, your suggestion is indeed good. Children's Day is meant to make children happy. There is no need for rehearsal, just eating, drinking and having fun. They will definitely like it very much. However, Teacher Yang and I cannot make the decision on this matter. You can report it to Director Liang."

Her words were no longer just hints, but were almost direct statements.

When Yang Yuxi heard this, a hint of surprise naturally appeared on her beautiful face. When she turned her gaze to Xie Jianing, her expression was full of disbelief.

Xie Jianing ah Xie Jianing...

Which side are you on?
It would be fine if he didn't "share the same hatred and enemy" with her, but he actually turned his elbow outward? !

We feel relieved that we are not rehearsing the program but are eating instead. But what about Huang Jun and other kitchen staff?
Aren't they going to be exhausted by this?
Xie Jianing caught Yang Yuxi's sharp eyes from the corner of her eyes, and quickly gave her a playful smile, as if to comfort her: Don't worry, June 1 is still a long way off, I just mentioned it casually, it's not a foregone conclusion yet. If we really don't have to rehearse and eat, we can go to the kitchen to help Huang Jun, and all the problems will be solved.

See this.

Yang Yuxi didn't know what to say, she could only hope that Principal Liang would not agree to the parents' request...

When the parents heard this, they all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment on their faces, and a hint of joy appeared on the corners of their mouths.

They exchanged glances with each other, as if silently conveying: Wow! This is really a wonderful suggestion, it seems... this thing may work...

Qu Qing looked at Xie Jianing and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Teacher Xie! You have shown us a way forward. We will go to Principal Liang right now. I believe she will understand our ideas and give the children a relaxing and happy Children's Day."

Li Xiuxian followed closely and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Teacher Xie, you are really our timely help! We will definitely take action and work hard to make this proposal a reality."

Xie Jianing deliberately acted innocent and said with a smile: "Dear parents, I know every word you said, but why do I have no idea when you put them together?"

The parents smiled at each other and responded tacitly: "Yes, yes, Teacher Xie didn't say anything, so we will go back first."

After saying that, they said goodbye to Xie Jianing happily and left the classroom together.

On the way, Xu Sijun made a more prudent suggestion: "Don't worry, I want to contact the chairpersons of the school's parent committee first, and work with them to find Principal Liang. In this way, our strength will be more concentrated and the possibility of success will be greater."

The other parents nodded in agreement:
"What a good idea! Mother Sissi really thought it through."

"Let's do what Mother Sissi wants. It will be much more effective than us fighting alone." (End of this chapter)
