Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 459 - 420: Subtle "Negotiations" and "Back-and-Forth" Struggles

The next morning, as the first rays of warm sunlight gently embraced the earth, the horizon gradually unfurled a soft pink dawn, and Dorami Kindergarten quietly heralded a lively morning.

At this moment, colorful buses leisurely traversed the morning light, slowly driving toward the kindergarten, finally forming a spectacular and colorful dragon in front of and around the kindergarten, like a vibrant rainbow bridge dancing in the morning light.

These buses were not only the starting point of the autumn field trip for Dorami Kindergarten’s children but also a "dream ark" ready to carry the children’s laughter and endless expectations.

Last night.

As the night descended and stars adorned the sky, parents who couldn’t accompany their children on the autumn field trip couldn’t help but feel a ripple of regret in their hearts.

However, within this regret...

There was another kind of "resentment"—they were not only regretful for not witnessing every moment of their children’s growth but also "resentful" for missing out on the chance to enjoy the feast meticulously prepared by Huang Jun with the kids!

As such...

Many parents, without prior agreement, picked up their phones and, with a touch of their fingertips, expressed their heartfelt desires and sincere requests privately to their children’s homeroom teachers.

For this.

They tried every soft persuasion technique, hoping to soften the teachers’ hearts and persuade them to add an extra following spot, so they could also participate.

Faced with such a scene.

Teachers in each class once again found themselves in a dilemma.

Because once exceptions are made, it could trigger a chain reaction, leading to more requests from other parents, making the meticulously planned activity complex and difficult to manage.

More crucially, they worried that if this information was accidentally leaked, Dorami Kindergarten’s fair image and professional reputation might suffer unjust damage, and parents might question the fairness and professionalism of the kindergarten’s handling of affairs, suspecting favoritism.

To maintain fairness and justice, and to avoid any parent feeling neglected or unfairly treated, the teachers, after much deliberation, made the tough decision to uniformly reject all additional requests from parents to prevent unnecessary trouble and avoid a recurrence of history.

Seeing the teachers once again firmly reject their requests, the parents, though outwardly forcing a semblance of understanding, could not quell the turmoil within, as if shrouded by an invisible gloom, with moods far from bright.

This heaviness left them tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Sigh!

How helpless...

In the end.

The unyielding regret and resentment hidden in their hearts could no longer be suppressed, turning into a series of silent sighs that gently escaped lips, merging quietly into the night.

Meanwhile, those parents fortunate enough to obtain a following spot were not entirely filled with ease and joy.

The reason being.

At home, spouses and elders, upon learning they could participate in the autumn field trip, all coveted this rare opportunity.

They began to employ all sorts of strategies, from gentle persuasion to soft terms and, even in some cases, stubborn persistence, all to persuade them to relinquish this precious following spot.

As a result, subtle "negotiations" and "tug-of-wars" quietly unfolded within their households...

All in all, this night was destined to be a restless one for the parents of Dorami Kindergarten.

...

Jinyuan District.

Huang Jun, too, rose early. After making breakfast for Qingqing and Weiwei, he began preparing a series of homemade healthy snacks.

Today was the day the two little ones had been longing for—an autumn field trip with their friends.

Yesterday evening, after the family had just finished viewing their new home, Qingqing and Weiwei eagerly urged Huang Jun to go to the supermarket to buy snacks.

But Huang Jun already had a plan in mind!

He felt that while supermarket snacks were convenient, they often contained preservatives and were not as healthy and reassuring as homemade ones. Thus, he decided to personally prepare some special snacks for the little ones, so they could share with friends during the trip, enjoying delicious food while eating healthily.

When Qingqing and Weiwei heard this suggestion, their eyes sparkled with excitement, and they gladly agreed to his plan.

Yang Yuxi also silently gave a thumbs up for his thoughtfulness and dedication.

When it was time to sleep, the two little ones were so excited they could hardly fall asleep. They tossed and turned in bed, repeatedly reminding Huang Jun not to forget to prepare those delicious snacks for them in the morning.

They worried that without snacks, they would only be able to watch longingly as other kids enjoyed delicious food, while they had nothing.

Although he wasn’t very skillful at making snacks, with the system’s support, it was naturally no problem for him.

By the time he returned yesterday evening, carrying a full load of ingredients, he already had a preliminary plan in mind.

After dinner, he sat with Qingqing and Weiwei at the cozy dinner table, their heads together, discussing various snack options. With the children’s suggestions, they selected some of the most popular snacks to make them into delicious companions for the field trip.

At that moment.

Teddy bear cookies slowly turned golden and crisp in the oven, expanding and flipping in the warm fire, emitting an enticing aroma.

Popcorn happily jumped in the pan, with each kernel turning into fluffy popcorn with a "pop" sound.

French fries and potato chips rolled in hot oil, gradually becoming crispy and tasty, while crispy squid rings swirled in the oil, displaying a golden hue, exuding an ocean-fresh flavor,

Huang Jun also carefully prepared some fruit slices, marinated with honey and lemon juice to retain the fresh texture of the fruit while adding a sweet flavor, making them both healthy and delicious.

The slightly charred roasted nuts were mixed together with some dried fruits, turning into a unique mixed nut snack.

He also used a juicer to make some fresh juice: refreshing orange juice, sweet apple juice, and a composite juice mixed with various fruits, allowing Qingqing and Weiwei to enjoy different flavored juices on their trip.

"Daddy."

Weiwei, sitting at the dining table, tilted her little head as she chewed on a sandwich and loudly asked in the kitchen’s direction, "Is it ready? We don’t want to be late!"

Qingqing calmly reassured her, "Sister, don’t worry, and don’t rush, Daddy knows the time, he won’t let us be late~"

"All right, all right~"

Huang Jun’s voice came from the kitchen as he held the carefully prepared snacks, placing them into Qingqing and Weiwei’s small travel backpacks: "Don’t worry, it’s still early!"

Weiwei hastily chewed and swallowed the sandwich, pouting slightly, saying, "Didn’t Miss Yang say yesterday that we should gather early, we can’t be late."

"Sigh!"

Huang Jun feigned a sigh of helplessness: "Now Miss Yang’s words are more important than Daddy’s words, really makes me sad..."

Qingqing quickly comforted him: "Daddy, don’t be sad, your words are also very important~"

She blinked her big eyes and earnestly said, "Yes, Daddy, your words are also very important, I keep everything you say in my heart."

"You little rascal~"

Huang Jun showed a warm smile on his face, gently patted Qingqing’s head, and pinched Weiwei’s little cheek, saying, "Okay, if you’re done eating, let’s head out!"

"Yes!"

The two little ones answered in unison, speeding up their eating,

Once they finished, Huang Jun quickly took them out the door, setting off on the way to the kindergarten.
