Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 314 - 292: This Is Absurd Beyond Absurd

The evening sun’s afterglow bathed the road home, draping it in a warm golden veil.

Chenchen, with his little backpack on, couldn’t wait to take Lin Huiyi’s hand as soon as he got off the car, and the two of them entered the elevator together.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors slowly opened.

Once out of the elevator...

Chenchen’s sharp eyes immediately caught sight of the two familiar figures at the doorstep.

Indeed.

It was his grandparents, Zhou Anguo and Lin Guifen.

They stood at the door, their faces beaming with kind smiles, surrounded by large bags and parcels at their feet.

"Grandpa, Grandma, you’re here!"

Chenchen excitedly broke away from his mother’s hand and darted towards them like a joyful little bird.

"Oh, our dear grandson is back!" Zhou Anguo and Lin Guifen simultaneously reached out, wanting to embrace their precious grandson: "Come, let Grandpa/Grandma hug you properly."

Chenchen hugged Grandpa’s leg, then turned and threw himself into Grandma’s arms, making the smiles on the elderly couple’s faces almost reach their ears.

Seeing this, Lin Huiyi displayed a delighted smile on her face.

She quickly walked towards the two elders, gently asking, "Mom, Dad, why did you come by suddenly? You didn’t even call ahead, so I could come to pick you up."

Zhou Anguo smiled and explained, "We happened to be passing by this area, so we thought we’d drop in to see you all."

Lin Guifen, holding Chenchen, nodded in agreement: "Yes, we wanted to bring some tasty treats for Chenchen and see how you all are doing."

"Come on, let’s go inside and sit."

Lin Huiyi said with a smile, her fingers swiftly and skillfully inputting the password on the door lock.

With a "click," the door slowly opened...

"Mom, Dad, come on in!"

Lin Huiyi warmly invited them in, reaching out to take the large bags and parcels from Lin Guifen and Zhou Anguo’s hands, carrying them inside together.

As soon as the items were placed in suitable spots, Chenchen eagerly held his grandparents’ hands, guiding them to the living room sofa.

He turned around, picked up a plate of fruit from the coffee table with both hands, and offered it to his grandparents: "Grandpa, Grandma, have some fruit; Mom bought it, it’s really sweet."

"Such a good boy!"

Zhou Anguo, seeing that he knew to share the fruit, looked at him with eyes full of admiration and couldn’t help but praise him with a smile: "Going to kindergarten makes a difference, you’ve become much more sensible!"

"Yes, Chenchen has indeed grown up, much more understanding than before." Lin Guifen chimed in, gently stroking Chenchen’s head with a loving expression: "Chenchen, how was your day at kindergarten? Did you have fun? Did you learn anything new?"

Chenchen nodded, his little face beaming with excitement: "Today, the teacher taught us to play with clay in the afternoon."

Lin Huiyi smiled and said to Chenchen, "Chenchen, go and show your clay work to Grandpa and Grandma."

"Oh, okay!"

Chenchen nodded, quickly retrieved his clay creation from his backpack, and presented it to his grandparents.

"I couldn’t have imagined that our dear grandson has quite the artistic talent."

Zhou Anguo casually praised, then carefully examined Chenchen’s clay work, jokingly saying: "Let me guess, is this clay figure supposed to be his dad?"

Lin Huiyi laughed out loud: "Dad, today the teacher indeed asked him to make his family, but Chenchen didn’t make his dad."

"Then who is it?" Zhou Anguo asked curiously.

Thinking to himself, could it be him?

If that’s the case, this grandson is indeed worth all the attention!

Lin Huiyi glanced at Chenchen: "Chenchen, tell Grandpa what you made."

Chenchen blinked, his little face full of pride: "Grandpa, I made caramel pudding! See, doesn’t my caramel pudding look delicious?"

Wait a minute!

Didn’t you say you were making family members out of clay?

How did it turn into caramel pudding?

And besides, how could a caramel pudding have facial features and limbs?

This is truly beyond outrageous...

This completely deflated his heartfelt expectations...

Lin Guifen couldn’t help but wonder if her grandson had been daydreaming in class to have crafted something that missed the assignment, she curiously asked: "Chenchen, the teacher clearly asked you to make a family member, why did you think of making a caramel pudding? Is there a special reason for this?"

"Because caramel pudding is delicious, Grandma, I want to eat caramel pudding." After saying this, Chenchen nestled his small body into Grandma’s embrace, tilted his head up, eyes blinking adorably as if they were about to spill over with tears.

Lin Guifen, always doting on this eldest grandson, immediately chuckled upon hearing him say he wanted caramel pudding: "If Chenchen wants caramel pudding, that’s no problem! Grandma will take you to get some."

"Wanting caramel pudding is no big deal, Grandpa will get you some too!" Zhou Anguo eagerly expressed his support from the side.

As long as the grandson liked it, even if it were the moon in the sky, he would find a way to get it.

Lin Huiyi took out a few remaining caramel puddings from her handbag and handed them to the two elders, explaining with a smile: "Mom, Dad, there’s no need for you to go out of your way. I already bought them for him at the dessert shop on the way home. He just refused to eat after having half."

"Chenchen, why didn’t you eat the caramel pudding that Mom especially bought for you?" Lin Guifen looked at Chenchen, her face full of bafflement.

Chenchen shook his little head slightly, muttering, "Mommy’s caramel pudding doesn’t taste good!"

Lin Guifen took the caramel pudding, noting the reputable dessert shop’s name on the package, and expressed her surprise: "I remember this dessert shop’s treats are known for their good taste, how come Chenchen doesn’t like it?"

"Mom, Dad, don’t mind him. He’s just been spoiled by the caramel pudding at the kindergarten." She then added, "But to be honest, the caramel pudding from the kindergarten does smell a lot better than the ones sold outside."

"It’s just caramel pudding, how much better can it really smell?" Lin Guifen asked curiously.

Lin Huiyi animatedly described the aroma of caramel pudding that wafted out from the kindergarten gates this morning. The enticing smell even made her husband, Zhou Zhichong, entertain the idea of taking Chenchen home and packing some of the kindergarten’s breakfast for himself. She recounted the whole tale.

This story left Lin Guifen and Zhou Anguo dumbstruck, their jaws nearly hitting the tops of their shoes with a "thud".

They never imagined their own son would be so tempted by their grandson’s kindergarten breakfast, even contemplating bringing some home to taste.

But seriously.

If you eat it, what is your grandson going to eat?

Zhou Anguo’s arms ached, wanting to reprimand his son.

To let him know the consequences of coveting his grandson’s food.

"It’s just a caramel pudding! Is it really necessary for Zhichong to come up with such a sneaky plan just to snag a taste?" Lin Guifen said with a look of bewildered disbelief.

Lin Huiyi laughed and said, "Mom and Dad, just look at your grandson. If it wasn’t delicious, would he have started rejecting the caramel pudding sold outside after having it?"

Chenchen nodded earnestly, "Yeah, yeah, Mommy is right. The caramel pudding at our kindergarten is really delicious! Not only that, but all the other dishes and snacks are super tasty too."

It seems this kindergarten’s meals are indeed quite delectable!

Though they hadn’t visited their grandson’s kindergarten, they couldn’t quite imagine just how fragrant and tasty the caramel pudding could be. Yet, hearing their daughter-in-law praise the kindergarten’s breakfast and seeing their grandson raving about the caramel pudding, as well as the meals and snacks, they couldn’t help but smile. "Looks like you’ve chosen the right kindergarten!"

"Yes, seeing how much Chenchen enjoys it makes us feel reassured." Zhou Anguo nodded.

...

Actually, this morning’s caramel pudding left quite an impression on many parents who dropped their kids off later.

By dinnertime, the topic of the kindergarten breakfast was a hot topic among parents.

Not just Chenchen’s family, but many families were discussing it over dinner.

Take Qianqian’s family, for instance.

Lin Huiyi was asking her daughter, "Qianqian, was the caramel pudding at the kindergarten’s breakfast particularly delicious today?"

Qianqian’s eyes lit up excitedly, "Yes, yes! The caramel pudding was so delicious, I absolutely love caramel pudding~"

In her mind, Lin Huiyi couldn’t help but imagine that enticing aroma of caramel pudding again, filling her with a newfound sense of envy.

Sigh!

Another day of envying her daughter...

"But every kid can only have one, and it’s not enough for me!" Qianqian licked her lips.

Well, having some is better than none, right?

At least better than Mom, who can’t even taste it!

Sigh!

Too bad the kindergarten doesn’t accept babies as old as hundreds of months. Otherwise, she’d surely enroll herself...

Wait a minute!

Didn’t Director Liang mention that the ’Parent Experience Day’ was scheduled to take place after National Day, and it should be getting close now?

Then she could finally get to taste Chef Huang’s cooking again.

Just thinking about it is delightful...

But wait, when exactly will it be held?

Just as she was pondering.

Suddenly, the notification sound on her phone interrupted her thoughts.

"Mommy, your phone is ringing," Qianqian reminded her.

"Alright, Mommy knows."

She quickly picked up her phone, where a notification from the class group appeared on the screen.

Driven by curiosity, she tapped the screen.

In an instant, a group announcement from Yang Yuxi appeared before her eyes.

Miss Yang: "Golden October, sow hope! Tomorrow is the annual autumn farming event at Dorami Kindergarten. We hope the children will enthusiastically participate and experience the joy of sowing. A gentle reminder: all children should wear uniforms tomorrow. There’s no need to reply after receiving the notification."

"Mommy, what’s the message?" Qianqian curiously leaned in to see.

"Oh, it’s a message from Miss Yang. She said that tomorrow, all the kids have to wear uniforms to the kindergarten for the autumn farming event!"

Lin Huiyi smiled as she replied, while typing a quick private message to Yang Yuxi asking about the specific date for the "Parent Experience Day."

A moment later.

Yang Yuxi’s response popped up: "Parent Experience Day is planned for October 10th."

Upon seeing the message, Lin Huiyi was overjoyed.

After all, once tomorrow is over, she’d be able to enjoy Huang Jun’s delicious food, how could she not be happy!

What?

There’s only one spot available and she might not get to go?

No worries, family dynamics will decide everything.
