Chapter 260: Chapter 245: No! You Want to Practice!

“Mom, mom, I’m back!”

After school in the afternoon, Lin Yipeng, carrying his little backpack, entered the house and looked around for that familiar figure.

Hearing her son’s call, Qu Qing, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, quickly came out and habitually asked the daily routine question: “Son, how was your day at kindergarten? Did anything interesting happen?”

Lin Yipeng’s small face showed a trace of dissatisfaction. He pouted and said somewhat disappointedly, “Mom, today’s snacks and meals at the kindergarten weren’t made by Qingqing’s dad, and the taste was a bit different.”

These words surprised Qu Qing a little.

But soon, she understood the reason behind it.

It seems that Director Liang of Dorami Kindergarten is all about listening to the parents’ voices…

Qu Qing said excitedly, “That’s really great!”

Lin Yipeng: ゛(’◇’)?

Huh?

Why is it great again?

This isn’t what he imagined at all!

Shouldn’t she… just like him, express a little dissatisfaction with the kindergarten’s approach or quietly mock them?

He really couldn’t understand why his usually loving parents weren’t on his side this time.

If he knew that the change of the chef at the kindergarten today was entirely the result of the parents’ collective effort, and that his own mother also contributed to this, would he faint from crying in front of his mom?

He definitely would!

And standing aside, Lin Weilin, seeing his son’s incredulous expression, couldn’t help but laugh, while silently mocking in his heart: “Serves you right!”

No choice!

Feeding Pengpeng at home is a headache not just for Qu Qing. Sometimes when he feeds Pengpeng, he also wants to take his seven wolves and give Pengpeng a good beating.

Moreover, every time he picks up this little rascal from school, it’s not just a battle of wits, but also a battle of strength, leaving him both mentally and physically exhausted!

Besides, he works hard outside to earn money for the family, yet he doesn’t eat as well as this little rascal, which makes him feel a bit unbalanced…

Why, you ask?

Well, because when he was in kindergarten, they didn’t have such good meals!

Qu Qing was still a bit worried, concerned that the temporary change of chef would result in a big difference in taste, causing her son to develop a dislike for school.

That would be “losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken”…

She thoughtfully asked, “Pengpeng, who made the snacks and meals at the kindergarten today?”

Lin Yipeng responded without hesitation, “Grandpa Qian did!”

Qu Qing thought, since Qian Guoxiang is a former head chef at a five-star hotel, the taste should be quite good, so she asked again, “And how did you find the taste?”

Lin Yipeng thought seriously for a moment and replied, “The taste was pretty good! But not as delicious as the ones made by Qingqing’s dad!”

This instantly cleared away Qu Qing’s worries!

“Grandpa Qian was the former head chef at our city’s Nine-Star Cloud Peak Hotel, his skills are excellent, normally, you might not even get to eat his cooking!”

But Lin Yipeng pouted, “But I still miss the food and snacks made by Qingqing’s dad!”

Qu Qing patted his little head, “Be good, just be patient a little longer, after the National Day holiday, you can enjoy Qingqing’s dad’s cooking again!”

“Miss Yang said that it’s only Grandpa Qian cooking for three days, afterwards it will be Qingqing’s dad again, so why do I have to wait until after the National Day to eat it? Shouldn’t I be able to eat it on the fourth day?” Lin Yipeng’s big head was full of question marks.

Qu Qing laughed and explained, “Because there’s a seven-day holiday for National Day…”

Lin Yipeng: “(•’╻’•)꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ”

Ah~

Still so long to wait?

Lin Yipeng: “(ಥ﹏ಥ)”

Seeing this, Qu Qing quickly changed the topic: “Oh right, Pengpeng, does your kindergarten have any special activities for National Day?”

“Of course!”

Lin Yipeng nodded proudly and said, “Our class (Group 4) is going to participate in a National Day performance, we’re going to sing ’The National Flag is So Beautiful’!”

Qu Qing, hearing this, encouraged him, “Really? Then you must practice well, sing beautifully and loudly, mom will be proud of you and prepare a little reward for you too!”

Lin Yipeng’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly told Qu Qing, “Mom, Qingqing’s dad also said that if I perform well, he’ll make me something delicious as a reward!”

Qu Qing seemed doubtful and said, “Really?”

Lin Yipeng nodded vigorously, “Mom, it’s true! I even hooked my pinky with Qingqing’s dad, promising not to lie to you. And Qingqing’s dad said, as long as other kids also perform well, they will get rewards too. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Miss Yang and Qingqing’s dad!”

Since that’s the case!

Then what are we waiting for?

For that reward — start practicing quickly!

She urged, “Pengpeng, hurry up and practice at home…”

Lin Yipeng resisted with all his heart, “Mom, I’ve been practicing all day, I don’t want to practice anymore, I want to watch some cartoons now…”

No!

You want to practice!

Qu Qing frowned slightly, “Pengpeng! Do you want to get the food reward from Qingqing’s dad or not?”

Lin Yipeng replied without hesitation, “I want to!”

Qu Qing reasoned with emotions, “Since you want to, you have to practice obediently. Only by practicing well can you perform outstandingly and earn Qingqing’s dad’s food reward. Otherwise, you won’t get the delicious reward you are yearning for…”

It made so much sense that Lin Yipeng couldn’t refuse and had to nod in agreement.

Qu Qing was satisfied with her son’s response and urged Lin Weilin, “Honey, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get moving, practice with Yipeng!”

“Okay, okay!”

Understanding his wife’s true intention, Lin Weilin swiftly accepted this task and started the “fatherly love and filial practice” mode with Lin Yipeng.

In fact, there were many kids in the same situation as Lin Yipeng.

Upon learning the news, their parents also started the “practice together” mode.

Hoping their own kids wouldn’t be outdone by others and would shine brilliantly in the National Day performance, bringing pride to their class.

NO! NO! NO!

Not at all!

The parents were all attracted by Huang Jun’s enticing food reward.

Exactly!

In their hearts!

All like Qu Qing, calculating their little plans!

As long as their precious ones perform outstandingly in the National Day show and earn the delicious food reward promised by Huang Jun, they, as parents, can also have the honor of tasting it and share in the glory.

Qu Qing couldn’t help but swallow in anticipation at the thought of the delicious roast lamb she savored during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Though she didn’t know what Huang Jun would offer as a food reward this time, based on his previous excellent skills, she was convinced it would be equally delectable.

How great would it be to get more of that food reward…

Thinking of this!

Qu Qing’s eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed her phone to send a message in the class group: “Hello Miss Yang, I’ve heard our class kids will perform on National Day. Could we parents also perform or participate on stage?”

The difference between this class group and the parent group is the addition of three Little Class 4 teachers.

It must be said that with the popularity of communication software, the gap between people seems to be increasing. You never know how many groups the other party has joined secretly and what they’re discussing there.

Once this message was sent out, the previously quiet class chat group immediately became lively.

That’s right.

The parents’ minds started to become active.

Qianqian’s mom: “Hello Miss Yang! I also want to ask if parents can participate in the National Day performance. Rest assured, if we’re allowed, I’ll prepare seriously and perform well. If I perform well, can I get Qingqing’s dad’s food reward just like our kids?”

Hanghang’s mom: “Yes, Miss Yang, I think parent participation in the performance is a great idea. Events like this not only enhance parent-child relationships but also give parents a chance to showcase their talents.”

Yuanyuan’s mom: “Yes, yes, yes! We’re all looking forward to going on stage with the kids, sharing an unforgettable National Day! Please give us a chance, or let us parents prepare a show to perform on stage!”

Tiantian’s mom: “Miss Yang, seeing how passionate we parents are, could you suggest this idea to Director Liang? With parental participation, this performance event would definitely be more exciting! If extra makeup and props costs are needed, we’re willing to cover them.”

Hanhan’s mom: “I’m quite good at makeup and can do it for everyone for free. As for costumes, I have a friend who owns a photo studio, and we can borrow some suitable outfits from her.”

Yuanyuan’s dad: “Miss Yang, I’d like to know how many parents can come this time? If possible, can I bring the child’s grandma? She’s great at public square dancing.”

Hanghang’s dad: “Miss Yang, I have a question. Does a sister-in-law count as a guardian here? She’s currently studying to be a kindergarten teacher and has a great impression of our kindergarten. Why not let her come to observe?”

Hanghang’s mom: “Yes, my sister is graduating from her kindergarten teacher studies next year and has always been very interested in our kindergarten. She even has a small wish to apply here after graduation.”

“…”

…

Haoting Garden District, Building 16, Floor 16.

Yang Yuxi stood by the kitchen counter, taking out the packed food one by one that she brought back from the kindergarten and putting it into the microwave.

As the microwave hummed, the food began to heat.

Frankly.

She initially didn’t want to bring this food back, but since Qian Guoxiang had already prepared it, she felt awkward refusing and brought it home.

Even though this food wasn’t as tasty as Huang Jun’s cooking, it was still much better than the fast food sold outside.

Suddenly.

The phone on the counter emitted a series of ding-ding-ding message alerts, pulling Yang Yuxi back to reality.

She picked up her phone and realized it was a message from the Little Class 4 parent group chat.

“The class group is quite lively today…”

Curious, she opened the group chat to see what the parents were discussing.

Upon seeing this…

She was astonished.

Huh?

These parents were so eager to participate just to get Huang Jun’s food reward?!

Say what.

Are you guys serious?
