Chapter 194: Chapter 181: Wei Yulong Would Rather Starve Than Eat Leftovers

As the joyous laughter of the class parent committee heads dining gradually subsided, it marked the successful conclusion of Dorami Kindergarten’s annual “Cafeteria Open Day” with abundant praise.

Ah.

Apart from the two valuable suggestions from the parent committee heads that were not adopted by the kindergarten, there wasn’t a single issue.

“Director Liang, Teacher Liu, Chef Huang, thank you very much for your warm hospitality.”

Before leaving, the parent committee heads from each class expressed their gratitude to Liang Yinqiu and the others.

In fact, they also wanted to go to their own child’s classroom to see how their child was eating and casually say goodbye.

Alright, alright!

They admit it!

Observing the child’s dining situation and saying goodbye was just an excuse!

Their real little scheme was to seize the opportunity to taste the children’s meals.

What?

The previous portion was enough for an adult to be full?

Granted!

But being full and wanting to continue eating are not contradictory, right?

A serving of white rice, one meat, two vegetables, and a soup was indeed enough for them to be full, but the problem is…

With such delicious and tasty dishes, their stomachs were full, but their minds were not yet completely satisfied…

They still wanted to keep eating…

Some parents couldn’t resist and thick-skinnedly wanted the kitchen staff to add more food, but unfortunately, the kitchen staff politely declined their request: “The cafeteria’s meals are made in fixed portions; the amount just served to you is already enough for an adult to be full.”

Alas!

What a regrettable and helpless reality!

The parents had no choice but to give up this idea and instead wanted to see the children to see if they could sneak an extra bite.

After all, their own children enjoy such delicious meals every day, while they only get to experience it at most once a year, so naturally, they wanted to savor as much of this delicacy as possible.

In a word, the children may suffer, but we should not suffer ourselves!

But alas…

When God closes a door, he also conveniently shuts the window!

Indeed.

Director Liang, being an observant “old fox” who could see through people’s hearts, immediately saw through the little schemes of these parent committee heads and politely refused their request: The children are eating, and parents appearing at this time might disrupt their dining order, causing distraction, affecting appetite and eating pace.

Well!

Such beautiful plans, yet reality is harsh…

The class parent committee heads left the kindergarten gate with slight regrets.

The parents who were familiar with each other exchanged a few words and bid farewell; those who weren’t too familiar quietly turned away, each heading home.

Xu Sijun did not choose to go home directly like other parents; instead, she drove to her husband’s company to give him a special surprise.

Indeed.

In her heart, a sweet plan had already been brewing.

Earlier, in the kindergarten cafeteria, as she savored that uniquely delicious kindergarten meal…

The taste, the aroma, it made her feel exceptionally good!

Recalling how her husband, whenever he encountered delicious food, always thought of her first, eager to share immediately, or dragged her home or to a restaurant, filled her with warmth.

This meticulous care not only deepened her love for her husband but also inspired a strong desire to share beautiful things with him.

So…

Driven by those beautiful moments, she restrained her desire, saved some food, and specially asked the kitchen staff for a plastic bag to pack the food, hoping her husband could also taste this special kindergarten delicacy and share in the enjoyment…

Soon…

Xu Sijun’s car slowly parked in front of the car dealership her husband co-owned with friends.

Outside the store, the sunlight shimmered on a neatly arranged row of new cars, reflecting a dazzling light that made her squint.

She gently pushed open the car door and elegantly walked into the store.

Inside was a spacious and bright showroom, with various cars neatly placed, each polished to a shine, embodying a high-end, elegant brand image.

The sales staff were busy talking with customers, enthusiastically introducing the various features of the cars or patiently answering customers’ questions…

The store atmosphere was both busy and orderly, with everyone dutifully performing their tasks.

Seeing the boss’s wife arrive, the sales staff nodded in greeting and smiled as they greeted her.

Xu Sijun also smiled back and headed straight towards her husband’s office.

The receptionist, upon seeing Xu Sijun, immediately put down her work and stood up to greet her.

She warmly greeted, “Sister Xu, you’re here! It’s been a long time. You look great today.”

Hearing the receptionist’s compliment, Xu Sijun gave a slight smile, nodded gently, and softly asked, “Thank you, you look great today too! Oh, by the way, is President Wei in the office now? I have something to discuss with him.”

The receptionist immediately replied, “Yes, Sister Xu. President Wei has been in the office all day and hasn’t gone out. You can go in directly to see him; he’ll be very happy to see you.”

Saying that, she opened the office door for Xu Sijun, making a path for her.

Xu Sijun gave the receptionist a grateful look, then walked into the office with light steps.

She saw her husband Wei Yulong focused at his desk, the computer screen showing the company’s sales data and market analysis, with a half-eaten takeaway beside him.

“Who’s there? Why don’t you knock before entering?”

Hearing the door open and footsteps, Wei Yulong frowned slightly and looked up, feeling a bit displeased.

But when his gaze landed on Xu Sijun, the displeasure instantly faded, replaced by a look of surprise: “Honey, why are you here? Why didn’t you let me know in advance so I could prepare?”

He immediately stood up, walked around the desk, and with a full smile, quickly approached Xu Sijun.

Xu Sijun feigned dissatisfaction, raised an eyebrow, and softly retorted, “What’s this? Do I need to make an appointment and knock to come in?”

Wei Yulong, hearing this, immediately realized his slip of the tongue, and with an embarrassed yet indulgent smile, quickly waved his hand to explain, “Oh, honey, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean it that way. I just… I was just surprised. I didn’t expect you to suddenly appear here!”

Xu Sijun smiled at Wei Yulong and teased, “I wanted to surprise you! What, don’t you like it?”

Wei Yulong quickly shook his head, “How could I not like it? A surprise from my wife is something I’d never refuse.”

The two smiled at each other.

Wei Yulong held Xu Sijun’s hand, led her to sit on the sofa, and asked with concern, “Honey, how was your day at the kindergarten’s ’Cafeteria Open Day’? Did you see our little Qianqian? Was she well-behaved today?”

Xu Sijun replied with a smile, “Everything went great. The ingredients at the kindergarten are fresh, and it’s clear they prioritize the children’s diet health. The food was well-cooked and delicious. Qianqian was very well-behaved; she didn’t cry and even shared her food with me, feeding me strawberries with her own hands.”

“I see! Going to school really makes a difference! Learning to share already! She’s getting more and more sensible!” Hearing Xu Sijun’s description, a glint of comfort flashed in Wei Yulong’s eyes.

Back then, when his wife suggested sending their daughter to Dorami Kindergarten, he was strongly opposed.

He thought Dorami Kindergarten was a bit old, with outdated equipment, much inferior compared to the newly opened Hu Jin Kindergarten.

Now it seems that Dorami Kindergarten’s educational philosophy and environment are nice, at least their daughter is growing and progressing there.

Besides, now she wakes up early every day to go to kindergarten, and even on weekends, she insists on going to school.

“Yes!”

Although she once doubted Qianqian’s motivation, at this moment, she preferred to believe in her child’s innocence and kindness.

She suddenly thought of something and said mysteriously, “Oh, by the way, honey, I have something good for you…”

She cautiously pulled out a plastic bag with food from her bag and handed it expectantly to Wei Yulong, “Ta-da, look honey, I saved this specially for you.”

What?

Just this?

Oh wife, do you have some misunderstanding about the term “something good”?

Who would consider leftovers as something good? And make it such a mystery?

Oh wife, did you rush out the door and leave your brain at home?

Besides, it’s not like we lack money.

If we want to eat something, we’ll just buy it! Why bring back leftovers like this?

Looking at the squished food in the plastic bag, and then at Xu Sijun’s expectant smile, Wei Yulong couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and confusion, along with a hint of doubt.

Could the contents of the plastic bag be the leftovers his wife couldn’t finish, and out of embarrassment at wasting food, she “kindly” packed them back for him?

After all, the kindergarten has been vigorously advocating the “Clean Plate Campaign,” and his wife as the head of the parent committee is greatly influenced by this concept, always trying to set an example.

But then again.

Doesn’t this basically make him a temporary garbage bin?!

But seeing his wife’s expectant eyes, he could only swallow back his complaints and offered an awkward yet polite smile: “Honey, why did you pack the kindergarten food and bring it home? You really don’t mind going through all that trouble…”

Xu Sijun, not catching the subtlety in his tone, replied enthusiastically, “Honey, the food really was excellent. I saved it especially for you. I even wanted to bring you some fish head tofu soup, but I couldn’t find a suitable container for it, so I had to give up…”

But hearing this made him feel a strong resistance throughout his body: “Honey, I really appreciate your kindness. However, I’ve already bought food, so there’s no need for you to bring the kindergarten food back for me. And next time, please don’t bring such ’special’ items again, okay?”

He, Wei Yulong, today, even if he were starving, chest glued to his back, dizzy with hunger, would never touch these leftovers!

Xu Sijun: “…”

What does that mean?

Despising the food she packed back?
