Ti flies, and before you know it, it’s already 4:30 in the afternoon, and it’s ti for school to let out.
Under the guidance of Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing, the little ones, as usual, lined up neatly and slowly left the classroom, heading to the entrance of the kindergarten.
However.
This ti, after parents picked up their children, they did not leave imdiately...
Li Xiuxian, holding a thread of hope, asked Yang Yuxi for confirmation: "Miss Yang, is it true that the kindergarten will not be providing lunch tomorrow?"
"Yes, Miss Yang, is it really true that there’s no lunch tomorrow?"
A few other parents also gathered around, hoping for a definitive answer.
In fact, about the Mid-Autumn Festival activities to be held by Dorami Kindergarten tomorrow, the teachers had already posted detailed notices in the class group several days ago, clearly informing about the ti, location, and various precautions for the event.
These parents naturally received the ssages as well and responded early, saying they would bring their kids to the kindergarten on ti for the event. They also expressed their eagerness to spend this special Mid-Autumn Festival with their children, enjoying the festive joy together.
But...
Upon learning that there would be no lunch provided for tomorrow, Li Xiuxian and the other parents weren’t quite at ease.
The reason was simple.
For other families, it’s "No howork, a harmonious ho; do howork, all chaos." For them, it’s "Eat kindergarten als, peace at ho; no kindergarten als, all chaos!"
They were afraid their kids might throw a tantrum because of it!
Miss Yang smiled and shook her head: "Parents, I have already explained in detail in the group this afternoon about not providing lunch tomorrow, so please don’t dwell on this issue."
Ah...
So they really won’t be providing lunch...
The disappointnt in the hearts of Li Xiuxian and the other parents deepened!
"Miss Yang, could you perhaps speak to Director Liang and see if lunchti can be arranged for tomorrow?" Li Xiuxian tried to suggest.
"Yes, Miss Yang, we also think it would be more convenient for the kids to have lunch at the kindergarten." The other parents chid in, expressing the sa desire, hoping Yang Yuxi could relay their needs to Liang Yinqiu.
Yang Yuxi still wore a polite smile as she replied, "I can understand your feelings, parents, but the arrangent for this event was indeed personally decided by Director Liang. I am rely an executor, and besides, Qingqing’s dad will be teaching everyone to make food tomorrow. We truly don’t have the extra ti to prepare lunch. Additionally, according to our kindergarten’s tradition, we do not provide lunch after special activity days like the Mid-Autumn Festival. We hope the parents can understand and cooperate with our arrangent."
Given the situation, what can be done?
They could only reluctantly accept it!
The parents reluctantly nodded and accepted the arrangent.
But the kids, realizing this late, started to throw tantrums.
"I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I want to have lunch at the kindergarten tomorrow. I don’t want to go ho hungry..." Yuanyuan tugged at her mom’s sleeve with her little hand, pouting her lips in grievance.
Li Xiuxian lightly tapped Yuanyuan on the forehead: "What? Is the food at ho not tasty? You’re always thinking about the kindergarten’s als."
"Of course, the food at ho is tasty, the dishes made by mom and grandma are very good..." With a strong sense of survival, Yuanyuan responded to Li Xiuxian with a smile, but ultimately, she couldn’t help but voice her true feelings: "But... but the food at kindergarten is even better..."
Gee!
She shouldn’t have asked for trouble!
Li Xiuxian couldn’t help but smile wryly.
She patted Yuanyuan’s head and said, "Sweetie, I know you find the kindergarten als delicious, but tomorrow’s lunch has to be at ho. The kindergarten won’t be providing lunch tomorrow, and that’s an unchangeable fact."
"Ah..."
Yuanyuan wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Seeing Yuanyuan’s disappointed little face, Li Xiuxian felt a pang of heartache.
She thought about it and added, "However, Yuanyuan, tomorrow we can make food together with Qingqing’s dad! We’ll make sothing delicious together with Qingqing’s dad and then take it ho to eat slowly, okay?"
Yuanyuan’s eyes imdiately lit up, and she nodded vigorously, her face showing an expression of anticipation: "Yay! I want to make food with Qingqing’s dad. I like Qingqing’s dad the most!"
The little one’s emotions always co and go quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she was already fully imrsed in the anticipation of making food the next day.
Such a situation was not only appearing with the children in the lower grade; parents in the middle and older grades also tried to have their child’s teacher relay the request for lunch to Director Liang Yinqiu, but after being politely declined by the teachers, the parents could only give up, though the kids were not so easily persuaded.
Luckily, after so patient persuasion from the parents and knowing they would make food with Chef Huang the next day, the kids’ moods improved a little, and they agreed to go ho, but there was still a tinge of disappointnt on their faces.
Why didn’t the kids throw tantrums?
Because after being repeatedly tossed around for so ti, the kids gradually realized one fact: when the kindergarten decides not to provide als, it really won’t change because of their tantrums.
So...
They chose to accept this fact and quietly looked forward to making food with Chef Huang the next day!
Hopefully, it will be delicious!
After sending off all the kids, Yang Yuxi couldn’t help but comnt to Xie Jianing beside her: "It seems that the good food at the kindergarten can be a hassle sotis, or else it would be a lighter afternoon."
Thinking back to last sester, whenever there were events without lunch, parents might have had thoughts but always seed to be understanding on the surface and never suggested the kindergarten provide lunch.
More importantly, the kids never showed any dissatisfaction back then. They even looked forward to holidays, eager to play!
Unlike now, where the lure of playing isn’t as strong as the attraction of kindergarten als!
"Isn’t that the truth!" Xie Jianing nodded in agreent: "Only Qingqing’s dad’s skills can make the little ones so attached."
Although the kindergarten won’t be providing lunch tomorrow, Liang Yinqiu has still arranged a small holiday gathering after the event, which serves as a small comfort for their hard work.
With this little sothing to look forward to, their spirits are much brighter, and they have the energy for work. Otherwise, they would really be crying their eyes out at the kindergarten gate like the kids.
"Miss Xie, let’s stay and set up the environnt together, shall we?"
Yang Yuxi went back to the classroom with Xie Jianing, working overti to finish the preparations so they could present the parents with a different classroom atmosphere, allowing them to feel the Mid-Autumn spirit.
...
anwhile, Huang Jun, who didn’t need to work overti to set up the environnt, was driving his two precious daughters ho.
Qingqing and Weiwei suddenly rembered their little red flowers.
They eagerly took them out of their bags and proudly showed them to Huang Jun: "Daddy, look, this is the little red flower I earned."
Huang Jun imdiately praised them: "Wow, amazing!"
He couldn’t wait to ask, "Quick, tell Daddy, how did you earn your little red flowers? Did you behave well in the kindergarten today?"
Qingqing replied with a smile, "We made lanterns and received praise from Miss Yang, so she gave each of us a little red flower as a reward."
"Oh, so you’re saying this reward also includes a bit of credit for Daddy?" he joked.
Qingqing nodded without hesitation: "Yes, yes, Daddy has a share. Daddy’s contribution is the greatest!"
Weiwei also chid in: "Yes, Daddy is the best!"
Huang Jun’s heart swelled with joy!
