Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 300 - 281: Sometimes People’s Pessimism Is the Same

The kindergarten had already started serving breakfast, but there was still a parent rushing to the gate with her child.

This mother and daughter duo was none other than Qianqian from Class 4 and her mom!

At this moment.

With her tiny legs that seemed to have a little motor, Qianqian ran with a quick "tap, tap, tap" sound...

Anyone who didn’t know might think this little one was participating in a running race?

But as the little one turned her head...

Seeing her mom leisurely arranging her backpack and water bottle while walking, she immediately felt like this current mom was really dragging her down...

Dragging her heels too much!

She helplessly ran back, grabbed her mom’s hand, trying to get her to walk faster, and while pulling, she said, "Mommy, hurry up, we’re going to be late~"

Xu Sijun rolled her eyes dramatically at the little one.

Humph~

Now she realizes it’s urgent?

Too late!

She unenthusiastically informed Qianqian of an indisputable fact, "Qianqian, we’re already late, it’s already breakfast time."

Qianqian: "..."

Pouting her little mouth, she unhappily retorted, "That’s exactly why we need to hurry up, or else the teacher and kids will finish all the breakfast~"

Oh dear!

This little girl actually knows how to argue now?!

So it’s my fault, huh?

In reality, Xu Sijun was even more anxious than her.

Two days ago, the teacher had sent a message in the class group, saying the holiday was nearing its end, and asked parents to help the kids adjust their schedules, sleep early and rise early, so the kids could come to school in high spirits. Last night, they even emphasized in the class group to be punctual and not be late.

Even with all these reminders, they were still late, an hour kind of late at that.

Just thinking about it made her a bit embarrassed to face Miss Yang and the other teachers.

Besides, their home wasn’t far from the kindergarten, it was only about a ten-minute drive.

Being late today was mainly because Qianqian didn’t want to sleep last night, making it hard to get up this morning.

Adding to that was her sluggish breakfast routine, taking an hour to eat a slice of bread.

It drove her to just grab her bread and milk, gobble it all up, leaving her with no breakfast to eat, then they finally went out.

Xu Sijun couldn’t help but lecture, "You now know to hurry, but when I called you to get up this morning, why didn’t you hurry then? Still had to stay in bed! And when I asked you to dress and wash up quickly, why didn’t you hurry then? Just dragging your feet in everything, even during breakfast, dragging non-stop. Being late is entirely your doing, and nothing to do with Mom..."

Qianqian: "..."

Hm, it really does seem like it was her own doing...

She promptly admitted her mistake, meekly saying, "Mommy, don’t be angry, Qianqian will definitely not stay in bed and dawdle next time."

"That’s more like it! I hope you remember what you just said. If you keep this up next time, Mommy won’t take you to school, and you won’t get to eat the breakfast, lunch, or snacks that Daddy makes..."

Oh no...

Qianqian instantly felt not okay!

If it was before, when Mom threatened her like this, she would definitely retort with "Then don’t take me, I don’t wanna go to school anyway." But now, not going to school means not getting to eat the delicious food Daddy makes...

That’s absolutely unacceptable!

To her, missing school is fine, but missing out on Daddy’s cooking is not happening.

"Mommy, rest assured, I’ll definitely be good from now on."

"Alright, Mommy will be watching you!"

Mother and daughter quickened their pace, soon reaching the kindergarten’s entrance.

Qianqian cutely greeted the guard, Uncle Li, "Good morning, Grandpa Li!"

"Good morning, Uncle Li!"

Hearing the greeting, Uncle Li looked up and saw the parent and the little one.

Speaking of which.

If you came any later, it would have been noon...

Though he was a bit speechless inside, Uncle Li was very professional, still wearing a big, cheerful smile, responding to their greetings, "Good morning, little one. What class are you in?"

"Grandpa Li, I’m Qianqian from Class 4." Qianqian responded politely.

Feeling a bit apologetic, Xu Sijun asked, "Uncle Li, could you please call Miss Yang from Class 4 for us?"

"Oh, alright, I got it!"

With that, Uncle Li picked up the phone, dialed Miss Yang, explained the situation, and after getting a response, he hung up and told Xu Sijun and her daughter waiting outside the guard station, "Parent, please wait a moment, Miss Yang is coming over."

"Alright, thank you so much!"

Xu Sijun thanked him and held Qianqian’s little hand, waiting at the school gate.

After a moment.

Miss Yang came into their view.

"Miss Yang..."

Qianqian excitedly waved her little hand towards Miss Yang, then slipped away from her mom’s hand, saying, "Mommy, I’m going to find Miss Yang now, you should head home too, bye-bye..."

This kid, can’t wait to get to the classroom to eat breakfast...

Sigh!

Really living up to the saying: Once there’s food, the mom’s forgotten...

Xu Sijun’s heart felt a bit empty but smelling the sweet aroma wafting from the school, her mood lifted somewhat, and she couldn’t help but glance at the weekly menu posted at the school entrance, seeing that today’s breakfast was caramel pudding, she couldn’t help but consider whether to buy some from a nearby dessert shop to try.

But on second thought, the dessert shop’s caramel pudding probably wouldn’t be as fragrant, and surely wouldn’t taste as good as the ones Huang Jun made.
