Since Liu Su Yu had already subtly issued a guest dismissal, the parents could only obediently take their children and walk toward the kindergarten gate one after another.
In an instant...
The originally quiet kindergarten entrance beca lively and bustling.
All the parents began their journey ho, joining their children for the upcoming three-and-a-half-day parental festival, where ’no al ans harmony, but a al ans chaos,’ enjoying the bittersweet yet joyful holiday together.
However.
Amid this ho-returning trend, there were still a few families who hadn’t left directly.
One such family was Lin Weilin’s!
Lin Weilin looked at his son Lin Yipeng, with a loving smile on his face: "Pengpeng, do you wish not to go ho and still want to play on the slide and swing set here at the kindergarten? How about dad takes you there, okay?"
This sudden care made Lin Yipeng show a puzzled look, a face full of ’Kid, do you have lots of questions?’
He blinked his eyes, staring at his dad in confusion, then gently shook his little head and expressed his feelings: "Dad, I don’t want to play on the slide or the swing set, I just want to go ho and watch cartoons now!"
No!
You do want to!
Lin Weilin, like a ’Big Bad Wolf persuading Little Red Riding Hood,’ continued to coax patiently: "Pengpeng, look at the slide there, isn’t it fun? Don’t you usually love playing on the slide the most? Co on, don’t be shy, dad will accompany you..."
Upon saying this, without further ado, he directly reached out and tugged Lin Yipeng toward the playground.
Oh~
What kind of performance is this?
Qu Qing, standing nearby, expressed so confusion at Lin Weilin’s actions.
Son hardly ever behaves, quietly showing he wants to go ho—shouldn’t we hurry and take him ho quickly then...
What if he suddenly rembers the kindergarten food, it might be hard to leave...
We might see another uproarious ’chase and escape’ comic scenario!
Seeing her son’s resistance, she quickly stepped forward without overthinking and advised: "Honey, since Pengpeng has made it clear he doesn’t want to play, let’s not force him, why don’t we head ho instead."
Upon saying this, she reached out to grab Lin Yipeng’s hand.
Seeing this, Lin Weilin hastily said: "Oh dear, wife, let’s not be eager to go ho..."
Sothing’s fishy!
Really, sothing’s off!
Qu Qing felt a silent alarm, noticing her husband’s behavior was indeed strange, there is definitely sothing going on!
Sure enough.
Before she could question!
Lin Weilin leaned in to whisper softly in her ear: "Honey, Qingqing’s dad will be roasting a whole lamb in the kindergarten later..."
Before he could finish, Qu Qing imdiately understood his sly little plan, her eyes lit up as she said: "Oh honey, you an we should wait here first, and maybe get to taste so later?"
Lin Weilin nodded and smiled, giving her a thumbs up: "Haha, you truly understand , wife!"
Qu Qing, though she hadn’t tasted Huang Jun’s cooking, reminisced the delicious taste of the custard mooncakes he guided them to make, her imagination ran wild thinking about that roast lamb’s tempting flavor...
Surely, it must be incredibly tasty!
She instinctively licked the corners of her mouth, her face filled with the desire to eat.
So...
She unhesitatingly grabbed Lin Yipeng’s arm, saying: "Son, co, mom will join you to play on the slide and swing set."
Lin Yipeng: "???
If he knew internet slang, he would certainly say: this plot doesn’t add up! Wasn’t the deal to go ho?
Lin Yipeng pouted, sowhat unwillingly said: "Mom, I don’t want to play on the slide and swing set; I want to go ho and watch cartoons..."
Doesn’t matter if you don’t want to!
You just need to be a good ’tool’ obediently!
Qu Qing gently furrowed her brows: "Pengpeng, didn’t you say a few days ago that you love mom so much and want mom to play with you every day? Now mom finally managed so ti to play with you, why don’t you want to play? Do you not love mom anymore?"
Lin Yipeng suddenly felt ntally exhausted!
But what can he do?
He must fulfill his words, even if it goes against what he feels!
Lin Yipeng’s big head solemnly nodded: "Love mom!"
Qu Qing smiled slightly: "Since you love mom, what should you do?"
Lin Yipeng helplessly replied: "Play with mom."
"Good boy!"
Qu Qing nodded in satisfaction, reaching out to gently stroke Lin Yipeng’s big head, her face radiating motherly love.
Lin Weilin saw this and threw a ’you sure know how to handle this’ admiring glance at his wife.
Qu Qing returned him a ’well, who do you think I am, any issue can be resolved if I step in’ playful expression.
Soon, the family of three headed towards the playground within the garden.
Once at the playground...
Lin Weilin’s gaze was instantly drawn to a few familiar faces.
These were the faces of the fathers who had previously helped him carry mooncakes with Huang Jun.
Now, they were also bringing their children to play here, the laughter and jokes were endless, the scene extrely lively.
When their gazes t and recognized one another, everyone couldn’t help but pause.
Hey?
How co none of them went ho, all ca here?
Could it be that everyone had the sa idea—not to miss the kindergarten’s roast lamb?
Must be!
This thought flashed through Lin Weilin’s mind, he imdiately put on a slightly awkward but polite smile, feigned calmness, and greeted: "Hey? Why haven’t you guys gone ho? Also playing here?"
One of the fathers laughed and responded first: "Oh, it’s Pengpeng’s dad! Oh, Pengpeng’s mom ca along too, what a coincidence! I just want to take the opportunity later to see Chef Huang’s roast lamb skills, who knows, might get a taste of the deliciousness!"
Oh!
Exactly what he guessed!
Hearing this straightforward answer, Lin Weilin no longer hid his true thoughts, and he expressed his feelings with a laugh: "Haha, we were thinking the sa thing! We plan to play with the kids here for a while, and then see if we can sneak in for a taste."
The other two dads also joined them, engaging in so casual chatter.
"Haha, it seems like everyone had the sa idea! Let’s just hang out here with the kids, and I’m sure the teachers would feel awkward about chasing us away. Maybe if they see us sticking around, they’ll warmly invite us over to enjoy so roast lamb~"
"It looks like we’re all on the sa page, but I wonder if any of you parents have a better plan to sneak in for a al of the roast lamb?"
For a mont...
The group of parents gathered together, exchanging their thoughts and plans.
Everyone hoped to find a way to successfully enjoy a delicious roast lamb.
...
Huang Jun held Qingqing and Weiwei’s little hands and walked towards the kitchen.
Weiwei looked up, blinking her lively big eyes: "Daddy, are we not napping in kindergarten today?"
"The afternoon is a holiday, so of course, we’re not napping in kindergarten!" Qingqing smiled sweetly, quickly answering.
Huang Jun glanced at Weiwei, then at Qingqing, and nodded: "Yes, Qingqing is right. After the activities, the afternoon is a holiday. If you feel sleepy, you can nap later in daddy’s break room."
But Weiwei had no intention of napping!
She was just asking casually.
Honestly, deep down, she wished for half-day school every day, so she could go ho and play with daddy and her sister earlier!
Daddy wouldn’t have to work hard making lunch and snacks for the kids...
Wouldn’t that be great!
So, she shook her little head like a rattle-drum: "I’m not sleepy!"
Qingqing also gave a slight shake of her little head: "Daddy, I’m not sleepy either."
"Alright, daddy got it!" Huang Jun looked at them with a fond smile.
Seeing their father leading them towards the kitchen, Qingqing couldn’t help but curiously ask: "Daddy, why are we going to the kitchen? Aren’t we going ho?"
"Going to the kitchen, of course, ans making sothing delicious!" Huang Jun explained gently.
Weiwei’s eyes lit up: "Sothing delicious? What is it, daddy~"
"Yes, daddy, what’s the delicious thing?" Qingqing’s eyes also sparkled with curiosity.
Huang Jun played mysterious: "You’ll find out in a little while."
Qingqing tilted her little head as she thought: "Daddy, is it mooncakes?"
Huang Jun shook his head: "Nope!"
Weiwei blinked: "Is it okra lanterns?"
Huang Jun shook his head again: "Not that either!"
Weiwei pouted, feeling a bit discouraged, and coaxed: "It’s so hard to guess! Daddy, just tell directly, will you~"
Saying this, she lightly shook Huang Jun’s arm, looking up with a pleading expression.
Qingqing joined in the coaxing too!
She shook Huang Jun’s other arm: "Yes, yes, daddy, just tell us~"
Faced with the coaxing assault from his two beloved daughters, Huang Jun simply couldn’t resist...
Helplessly, he surrendered.
He smiled dotingly: "Alright, I’ll tell you, it’s roast lamb!"
"Wow... roast lamb, I love roast lamb the most!" Weiwei exclaid excitedly.
Well then!
You love roast lamb the most!
Have you ever had roast lamb?
Do you even know what roast lamb is?
Huang Jun smiled wryly.
Speaking of which.
I wonder if the two little ones will exclaim innocently when they see the real lamb later: "Lambs are so cute, why do we eat them?"
"Daddy, what is roast lamb?" Qingqing asked with a face full of curiosity, looking at Huang Jun.
Uh~
What’s coming is coming!
Alright!
Might as well let the storm co even stronger...
Huang Jun cautiously explained: "Well... it ans roasting an entire lamb, that’s what roast lamb is. It’s even tastier than lamb skewers..."
Weiwei’s eyes brightened, and she exclaid excitedly: "Oh, I got it, I got it, it’s like roasting Pleasant Goat! Haha, sis, if even Grey Wolf can’t eat Pleasant Goat, we get to eat it first..."
Ah!
Pleasant Goat?
The Qingqing who loves Pleasant Goat pursed her lips, a bit reluctant, and said: "Wuwuwu, don’t eat Pleasant Goat, Pleasant Goat is so pretty, so cute, daddy, let’s not eat Pleasant Goat..."
Huang Jun was at a loss for words and explained: "Qingqing, we’re not eating Pleasant Goat. That’s a character from a cartoon. We’re eating real roast lamb, not a cartoon character."
Qingqing pondered for a mont and said: "Then... can we eat Lazy Goat?"
"..."
"Alright, Lazy Goat it is, let’s eat Lazy Goat..."
While comforting them!
The laughter and cheer from the playground not far away caught his attention.
He looked up and saw several kids playing happily, with so parents standing nearby.
Thinking of how during regular kindergarten days, the ti for playground fun like slides is scheduled, and when ti’s up, teachers would take them back to class; many kids thus don’t want to go ho imdiately after school, preferring more playti on the playground.
Therefore.
He didn’t think too much about it!
Continuing on with Qingqing and Weiwei towards the kitchen.
