Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten Chapter 44 - 41: The Teacher Won’t Give Me Food!

Xu Caihong hurried her daughter-in-law Li Xiuxian to go together to pick up her granddaughter.

Even though it was still early, with about half an hour left before school ended, Li Xiuxian couldn’t refuse her mother-in-law and had to go early with her.

At this mont.

Outside the gate of Dorami Kindergarten, many parents had already gathered.

There was no need to ask to know that they were like her, all focused on their own children, coming early to wait and also observe their children’s situation in the kindergarten.

Xu Caihong stood outside the kindergarten gate, anxiously peeking around, murmuring, "I wonder if our Yuanyuan ate well at lunch, or had her snack in the afternoon?"

Um...

Mom, saying this at ho is fine, but talking like this at the kindergarten gate isn’t great...

Besides, if passing teachers overhear, it’ll be so awkward...

Li Xiuxian felt her mother-in-law’s words at the kindergarten gate were inappropriate, but she didn’t correct her. Instead, she consoled sowhat helplessly, "Mom, don’t worry, Miss Yang and others definitely won’t let her go hungry."

Then, she tried to shift her mother-in-law’s focus, adding, "Since we’ve decided to send the child to kindergarten, we should trust Miss Yang and the others, believing they’ll take good care of Yuanyuan."

Seeing her daughter-in-law talk like this, Xu Caihong said no more and just stood quietly outside the kindergarten gate waiting.

However.

When occasional crying was heard from inside, her heart beca unsettled again.

She couldn’t help but listen closely.

Her expression grew tense with her heart tightening: "Xiuxian, listen, it seems like a child is crying!"

"Do you think that crying sounds like our Yuanyuan’s?"

Her words were full of anxiety.

Li Xiuxian was infected by her mother-in-law’s tension, also couldn’t help but listen closely.

But she felt the cries didn’t resemble her daughter’s crying sound.

She thought her mother-in-law perhaps had "an illusion due to her concerns."

She continued to comfort her mother-in-law, "Mom, don’t overthink. Though Yuanyuan can be a bit sensitive, she’s usually well-behaved and doesn’t cry much. Moreover, her crying doesn’t sound like this..."

However, Xu Caihong insisted on her opinion, "But why does this crying sound more and more like our Yuanyuan..."

This ti, she couldn’t stay put!

She directly walked towards the gatehouse, lightly knocked on one of the glass windows there.

Uncle Li heard the sound, opened the window, and politely asked with a smile, "Hello, any problem?"

"Hello!"

Xu Caihong nodded and expressed her intention directly, "Well, I’d like to ask if I can pick up my child earlier?"

Parents saying they want to pick up their children, Uncle Li couldn’t refuse directly!

"I need to ask the teachers first."

Then, he asked, "May I know which class you’re from, and what’s the child’s na?"

"I’m the grandmother of Liu Yuanyuan from Junior Class 4!"

"Okay, please wait a mont, I’ll call Miss Yang from Junior Class 4."

Li picked up the phone to dial while saying to Xu Caihong, "It’s normal for kids to cry when they first start kindergarten, they’ll adapt with ti."

"I understand the feelings of you parents, but once the kids adapt, it’s better to pick them up according to the kindergarten’s end ti."

Since Dorami Kindergarten started, Uncle Li had worked there.

Over the years, he witnessed countless new students grow from enrollnt to graduation, each stage deeply imprinted in his mory.

Regarding parents who weren’t at ease at the start of school and ca early to pick up their kids, he had beco used to it.

However, this sincere remark got through to Xu Caihong sowhat.

A look of embarrassnt appeared on her face and she explained, "Mainly, it’s the child’s first day at school today, and I’m really feeling uneasy, so I thought of picking her up earlier today. Once she adapts, we’ll surely pick her up at the kindergarten’s end ti."

In fact, separation anxiety isn’t just experienced by children but parents too.

Her worry that the child wouldn’t eat or sleep well at the kindergarten was a sign of separation anxiety.

"I understand, I understand!"

Uncle Li chuckled and made a call to Junior Class 4.

Other parents waiting at the gate saw this and inford Uncle Li of their children’s classes and nas, hoping to pick them up earlier as well.

"Alright, don’t worry, one at a ti..."

Uncle Li cald these parents while continuing to call the horoom teachers to notify them about which parents wanted to pick up their children early.

...

Junior Class 4.

"Right, got it, I’ll pack up the child now and bring her over."

"Okay, see you in a bit!"

After saying this, Yang Yuxi hung up the phone, shouted to Wang Wenxia not far away, "Teacher Wang, Liu Yuanyuan’s grandmother is here to pick her up, could you please pack her backpack and water bottle?"

"Alright!"

Wang Wenxia responded with a smile and began packing swiftly.

If one didn’t know, they might think she was eager for Liu Yuanyuan to be picked up by family!

Well!

She admitted she had such a private thought!

After snack ti, the children started to make a fuss again, and for the sake of preserving her own life, she did wish parents would promptly take away these little troublemakers.

Except for Qingqing and Weiwei!

Because the two had been well-behaved all day!

"Teacher Wang, let take her!"

Considering it was the first day of school, with parents likely to inquire about their children’s situation, class teacher Yang Yuxi felt it was appropriate to interact with the parents, so she claid the task.

While speaking, she took Liu Yuanyuan’s backpack and water bottle from Wang Wenxia and said to Liu Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, co, Miss Yang will take you to the school gate, your grandma is here to pick you up ho."

Qingqing and Weiwei upon seeing this, couldn’t help but think of their dad, craning their necks to constantly look at the classroom door, hoping to see their dad appear at the door in the next second...

Unfortunately.

The expected figure didn’t appear.

Their expectation turned to disappointnt, they lowered their heads and continued playing with their toys.

Yang Yuxi was busy taking Liu Yuanyuan out and didn’t notice the sisters’ emotions.

As she led Liu Yuanyuan out of the classroom, she happened to et Jiang Xinzhuo from Junior Class 3 also taking two children towards the kindergarten gate.

The two greeted each other knowingly with a nod and continued forward one after the other.

Perhaps seeing the parents made Chenchen, the little boy holding Jiang Xinzhuo’s left hand, suddenly shout, "Mama... boohoo..."

After shouting, he even started to cry.

Jiang Xinzhuo: "..."

What kind of performance was this?

Clearly, he hadn’t been crying nor was he upset in the classroom and was quite well-behaved, so why did he start crying now upon going ho?

One might wonder if he had suffered greatly at kindergarten.

Looking at the little one who abruptly entered "drama king" mode, Jiang Xinzhuo felt both speechless and headache-inducing.

Hopefully, his parents wouldn’t overthink due to this!

"Clang~"

Uncle Li saw the teachers leading the children over, then opened the small gate.

Once the teachers led the children outside, he closed the small gate until the teachers finished chatting and ca back in.

"Chenchen, be good, don’t cry!"

Chenchen’s mom saw her son crying while being brought out by Jiang Xinzhuo, felt distressed, and hurried forward to scoop him up, wiping his tears while comforting him, "Didn’t mom promise you would be the first I pick up in the afternoon? I didn’t lie, did I? So be good, don’t cry!"

After comforting the child, she turned to Jiang Xinzhuo and asked, "Teacher Jiang, how did Chenchen do at kindergarten today?"

"Chenchen was very good today," Jiang Xinzhuo briefly described Chenchen’s ti at kindergarten, "He cried a little when just arriving in the morning, but got better after breakfast. During lunch, he was great, eating by himself..."

This praise delighted Chenchen’s mom, bringing a satisfied smile. She gently patted her son’s head, "Chenchen’s wonderful! Say goodbye to the teacher, and mom will make you delicious food at ho."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing "food", Chenchen, who clung tightly to his mother’s neck just a mont before, suddenly raised his head and said softly, "Teacher Jiang wouldn’t give food!"
