Chapter 298 - 280: The Real Threat Isn’t a Godlike Opponent, But a Clueless Teammate...
In the kindergarten staff activity room, renovation work was in full swing.
The workers, dressed in uniforms and wearing safety helmets, were bustling back and forth among the tools and materials.
Those painting the walls did so meticulously, covering every inch in front of them, while the ones planing wood displayed their exquisite skills amidst the flying wood shavings...
For a moment...
The air was filled with the mixed smell of fresh paint and wood...
Nevertheless!
Amid this complex aroma, a hint of sweetness quietly emerged.
At first, the fragrance, masked by other odors, was not apparent, but as time passed, it gradually became more enticing, standing out among the mix of scents.
As a result.
It disrupted the previously harmonious working atmosphere, causing the workers’ movements to slow down a bit, and they couldn’t help but twitch their noses a few times.
"Hm? What’s this smell? It smells so sweet and fragrant..."
"It really is fragrant... Seems like it’s wafting over from that kindergarten kitchen!"
"Isn’t it almost time for kindergarten breakfast? Does this kindergarten make their own breakfast? So fragrant! Can you tell what the smell is?"
Lin Weijian couldn’t help but show a slightly surprised expression of "Is this something I can smell for free?": "It smells like caramel pudding. Don’t ask me how I know, just know that my daughter really loves caramel pudding, so I’m very familiar with this scent. But the caramel pudding from this kindergarten smells much better than those I buy from dessert shops... Looks like the chef here has quite some skill..."
The workers nodded in agreement with his statement.
Even amid the complex odor of renovation, they could still clearly distinguish the mouth-watering scent of dessert.
This was enough to prove that the chef’s skills were indeed exceptional, and it also reflected the high quality of ingredients used in the kindergarten.
In their impression, kindergarten breakfasts were usually store-bought packaged buns or small cakes, rarely prepared by in-house chefs.
Even if they did, it was usually some simple sugar water or the like, rarely such exquisite desserts.
One must admit, this breakfast aroma completely overturned their perception of kindergarten breakfasts, and made them see this kindergarten in a new light.
After all, they had taken on renovation projects for other kindergartens before, but never smelled such an enticing breakfast aroma while working in those kindergartens, let alone any ingredients that could compare.
This kind of conscientious kindergarten is indeed rare!
...
Near the parking area at Dorami Kindergarten’s entrance.
Parents were still arriving late for various reasons, busy trying to comfort children who were crying and refusing to let go of the car door, resisting going to kindergarten.
And the children exhibited a total refusal, clutching the car door edge like a lifeline, tears welling up in their eyes, and their little mouths constantly muttering, "I don’t want to go to school."
Alright!
If the soft approach doesn’t work, it’s time for the hard approach.
So...
Parents, too lazy to persuade further, simply picked up their children, and despite their still crying protests, they unburdenedly walked toward the kindergarten gate.
As they approached the kindergarten entrance...
An enticing caramel pudding fragrance swept over, instantly filling the air.
"So fragrant..."
"What kind of breakfast is this, that smells so good!"
"Feels like the kindergarten breakfasts are getting more fragrant this semester..."
Parents, captivated by the aroma, couldn’t help but sniff the air, momentarily forgetting about calming down the crying kids.
The children, who had just been crying non-stop, were also drawn in by the sudden fragrance, their cries gradually subsiding, and some even turning their heads curiously to seek the aroma’s source.
Chenchen was among them.
Sniffing with teary eyes, he said, "Mama, it’s so fragrant..."
Lin Huiyi laughed and corrected him, "What do you mean mama is fragrant, it’s the kindergarten breakfast that’s fragrant!"
Zhou Zhichong, seeing that his son’s crying was easing, playfully teased, "Chenchen, since you really don’t want to go to kindergarten, never mind, I’ll go for you, and eat the breakfast for you too."
Upon hearing this, Chenchen immediately became anxious.
"No, daddy can’t go! Daddy can’t eat my breakfast! It’s my kindergarten, my breakfast, it’s mine... Wooo..."
As he spoke, he started crying again, tears pouring out again.
Lin Huiyi: "..."
There’s nothing more daunting than a teammate as clueless as a pig...
She instantly felt that her own husband was that kind of clueless teammate, having finally calmed the child’s mood, only for him to mess it up again.
She gave Zhou Zhichong a displeased glare, hoping he would collect himself and stop adding to the chaos.
At this moment.
Jiang Xinzhuo, having received a phone call, quickly walked out to the kindergarten gate to greet the late-arriving children.
Seeing Chenchen still crying, she crouched down and gently comforted him, "Chenchen, be good, don’t cry, Teacher Jiang will take you to the classroom for breakfast. Today, our kindergarten breakfast is caramel pudding, made by Uncle Chef Huang. It’s really fragrant, take a sniff..."
As she spoke, she extended her hand towards Chenchen.
As soon as Chenchen heard "caramel pudding made by Uncle Chef Huang," he stopped crying. He finally remembered the good things about kindergarten and reached out to hold Jiang Xinzhuo’s hand, nodding, "Okay, Chenchen wants to eat caramel pudding made by Uncle Chef Huang, Chenchen really likes breakfasts made by Uncle Chef Huang..."
