Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 120 - 116: Subtle Atmosphere

After a period of close collaboration and relentless effort, the tents finally stood firmly on the lush green grass, not lined up rigidly, but facing each other like pairs of intimate partners.

As the canopy of the tents was slowly lifted, a spacious and bright outdoor living room came into being.

Under Liang Yinqiu’s arrangement, the teachers quickly and orderly unloaded the cooking utensils, ingredients, and folding chairs needed for camping from the car, placing them under the canopy one by one.

Of course.

As the only male in the team, Huang Jun naturally felt embarrassed to remain idle, so he took on the heavy responsibility without hesitation.

You could see him fully showing the strength and responsibility of a male colleague.

Whether moving large items or heavy ones, he never backed down, giving it his all.

Thanks to his assistance, the whole transport process became efficient and smooth, greatly reducing the workload of the teachers, making it much easier.

Therefore.

Huang Jun’s performance earned Liang Yinqiu’s frequent approving glances and deep gratitude from teachers like Yang Yuxi.

At the same time, it was deeply felt once again that Huang Jun is a great colleague in Huaxia!

"Ah!"

"Not easy, finally done!"

With this relieved sigh, everyone straightened their backs, eyes gleaming with satisfaction and pride.

Looking at the complete array of cooking utensils, pots and pans, and seasoning ingredients, it seemed like a meticulously arranged temporary outdoor kitchen. He nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Yang Yuxi gently took out two bottles of chilled drinks from the fridge, her eyes pausing on Huang Jun, revealing a subtle hint of concern.

After a short contemplation, she gracefully walked towards Huang Jun, handing the drink to him, and softly said, "Qingqing’s dad, you were busy front and back, setting up tents, and moving tables and chairs, also organizing cooking tools, you must be exhausted. Here, have some ice-cold drink to quench your thirst..."

At the same time.

Liu Suyu’s voice also sounded gently, while handing a drink to Huang Jun from the other side: "Chef Huang, you’ve worked hard, take a bottled cold drink and rest for a while."

Yang Yuxi: "..."

Liu Suyu: "..."

The two of them almost simultaneously turned their heads, their gazes briefly intersecting in the air, with a hint of surprise and awkwardness in their eyes.

Neither of them had anticipated that the other would also offer Huang Jun a drink. This sudden synchrony left them momentarily at a loss.

After a brief awkward silence, the two pressed their lips lightly, revealing a slightly nervous smile, trying to dissolve the subtle atmosphere brought by this unexpected little incident.

Although they quickly averted their gaze, the drinks offered to Huang Jun remained steadfastly in mid-air, with neither intending to withdraw.

Facing this sudden dual care and "offering", Huang Jun froze for a moment, his eyes rapidly shifting between the two drinks, looking somewhat at a loss.

For a moment, not knowing how to decide.

And not wanting to refuse their goodwill.

He could only accept with a smile.

He reached out, simultaneously taking the drinks Yang Yuxi and Liu Suyu offered, and expressed his gratitude with a smile: "Miss Yang, Manager Liu, thank you..."

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Huang Jun changed the subject, smiling as he said: "I suppose Qingqing and Weiwei are thirsty too. I’ll go check on them..."

"Alright, you go ahead, when we finish skewering the kebabs, we’ll call you to grill them." Yang Yuxi smiled, pressing her lips together.

Liu Suyu also smiled and nodded: "Feel free to go accompany Qingqing and Weiwei, leave the rest to us. Once we’ve prepared all the ingredients, you can come back anytime..."

"Alright, then please take care of it."

After speaking, he smiled at Yang Yuxi and Liu Suyu, then turned around, spreading his arms towards Qingqing and Weiwei, calling out: "Qingqing, Weiwei!"

"Daddy~"

"Daddy~"

Upon hearing Huang Jun’s call, Qingqing and Weiwei’s eyes immediately lit up like the brightest stars in the night sky.

They jumped up happily, like little swallows returning home, impatiently flying into Huang Jun’s embrace.

"Ah, my darlings..."

Huang Jun tightly embraced his two adorable daughters.

The more he looked, the cuter they seemed, unable to resist planting a kiss on their little cheeks.

This,

Caused Weiwei to burst into a string of bell-like giggles.

Qingqing, on the other hand, elegantly pressed her lips into a smile, seeing dad’s forehead covered in tiny beads of sweat, she thoughtfully extended her little hand, gently wiping with her tender fingers.

Her movements were gentle and meticulous, as if fearing to hurt dad.

Huang Jun felt the gentle touch from Qingqing’s little hand, and emotions surged like a tide, unable to resist rewarding Qingqing with a kiss.

Of course.

Including Weiwei,

To avoid upsetting her and needing extra time to coax.

After giving the little ones a drink to quench their thirst, Huang Jun led them by the hand, initially intending to take them for a stroll by the lake, but considering safety issues, he leisurely walked near the camping site.

At the edge of the site, a patch of verdant woods stood quietly, sunlight passing through the treetops, casting dappled shadows like nature’s palette.

Under the embrace of these woods, wildflowers also bloomed, competing vigorously—red like fire, yellow like gold, purple like dreams—gently swaying in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance.

Occasionally, a few small birds cheerfully flew from the woods, freely hopping and foraging in the clearing, their crisp chirping resonating in the air, adding vibrancy and life to this tranquil site.

"Wow, little birds..."

Qingqing and Weiwei gazed intently at the surrounding scenery, their large eyes shimmering with a fascinated and excited glow.

Huang Jun smiled slightly and took out his phone: "Qingqing, Weiwei, come on, let Daddy take a photo of you."

Hearing their dad’s words, the two little ones immediately struck a peace sign pose, beaming brightly at the camera.

Click!

"Daddy, let me see, let me see..." As soon as the photo was taken, Weiwei eagerly wanted to lean in to see the result.

Huang Jun gently shook his head, smiling as he said: "That one came out blurry, Daddy deleted it, let’s take it again, this time you should pose differently for the photo..."

...

In the Liu family living room.

Today, Li Xiuxian and Liu Qiangtao went out on an errand, leaving Xu Caihong and Liu Yuanyuan, this pair of grandparents at home.

Xu Caihong glanced at the wall clock and found that the hour hand had quietly pointed to lunch time.

She immediately stood up from the sofa, ready to head to the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

Before stepping into the kitchen, she didn’t forget to turn around and ask her precious granddaughter for her opinion: "Yuanyuan, what do you want for lunch? Tell Grandma, and I’ll make it for you!"

Yuanyuan didn’t directly answer her grandmother’s attentive inquiry, instead, her little face showed a bit of anticipation, her voice revealing the innocence and persistence of a child: "Grandma, I want to eat lunch at kindergarten."

When school let out on Friday, upon hearing from Grandma and Mom that there was no kindergarten on Saturday and Sunday, she couldn’t be happier.

But this joy didn’t last for long.

Whenever the family’s meals were served, Yuanyuan couldn’t help but begin to miss the delicious dishes at kindergarten.

Especially at lunchtime, her longing for kindergarten food grew stronger.

So much so that she developed a desire to eat lunch at kindergarten, even starting to clamor about wanting to go there for meals.

This time.

It left Xu Caihong and Li Xiuxian in stunned silence!

To make Yuanyuan eat, Xu Caihong had to coax and persuade her just to get her to reluctantly eat the home-cooked food.

Xu Caihong thought that after yesterday’s session of painstaking persuasion, Yuanyuan would understand the situation and give up on the idea completely.

But unexpectedly...

The little one actually brought up the topic again.

Xu Caihong sighed helplessly, patiently explaining once more: "Didn’t Grandma already tell you? On Saturdays and Sundays when it’s vacation, kindergarten is closed..."

"Closed?"

Yuanyuan blinked her eyes, thinking for a moment and then rebutted: "Then I can ask Grandpa Li at the gatehouse to open the kindergarten doors for me!"

Xu Caihong "..."

This little one thinks quickly!

Xu Caihong sighed again and explained patiently: "Yuanyuan, even if you ask Grandpa Li at the gatehouse to open the kindergarten doors for you, it won’t help, you won’t have food to eat even if you get inside."

"Why?" Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes, looking at Xu Caihong with a face full of confusion.

Xu Caihong explained patiently: "Because Saturdays and Sundays are rest days, just like you don’t need to go to school at home, the teachers and chefs also need a vacation to rest at home, so kindergarten won’t be cooking meals."

"Ah..."

After hearing this, Yuanyuan showed an expression of surprise, lowered her head in silence for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she raised her head to say to Xu Caihong, "Grandma, I want to go to Qingqing and Weiwei’s house to play, will you take me to them?"

Oh, this little girl, so clever!

Knowing that she won’t get to eat at kindergarten, she actually wants to go directly to Qingqing’s house.

You’re not looking to play with Qingqing and Weiwei, you’re clearly trying to score a meal from their house!

Xu Caihong knew that Chef Huang at kindergarten is Qingqing and Weiwei’s dad, so when Yuanyuan said she wanted to find Qingqing and Weiwei to play, she knew what her granddaughter was up to.

She couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head, saying to Yuanyuan: "Grandma doesn’t know where Qingqing and Weiwei live, just be good and eat with Grandma at home, and tomorrow, on Monday, you can eat delicious food at kindergarten."

"Oh..."

Liu Yuanyuan sighed softly, feeling full of disappointment.

Seeing her unwilling expression, Xu Caihong said helplessly: "What’s the matter, looking so reluctant, is Grandma’s cooking not tasty?"

Yuanyuan immediately nodded, sweetly saying: "Of course Grandma’s cooking is tasty!"

Xu Caihong couldn’t help but follow up with another question: "Then tell me, is Grandma’s cooking tasty, or is the kindergarten’s cooking tasty?"

"Well, Grandma’s cooking is tasty..."

This statement made Xu Caihong’s heart bubble with joy, feeling her granddaughter was worth every bit of pampering.

But the happiness lasted only a second...

Only to hear Yuanyuan say: "But kindergarten food is also really, really tasty..."

Xu Caihong felt as if a cold arrow pierced her heart.

She shouldn’t have asked too much!

Well now, she’s looking for trouble... isn’t she...

Actually, little ones like Liu Yuanyuan at home, not forgetting the kindergarten meals are not few in number.

Children in the middle and upper classes behave relatively well at home.

Because they’ve already experienced kindergarten life before and have a clear understanding of holiday regulations.

Even if they also miss kindergarten meals, they only gripe briefly and don’t overly obsess.

But the young class kids present a different scene.

They are in a willful and persistent stage, and will pursue what they want without hesitation, and if not satisfied, will cry and fuss endlessly.
