"Qingqing, time to get up..."
"Weiwei, time to get up..."
Huang Jun bent down by Qingqing and Weiwei's ears, switching back and forth as he softly called out, "If you don't get up soon, you'll be late for school..."
At 7 a.m., the first thing Huang Jun did after making breakfast was to call his two darling daughters to wake up.
Because school hadn't started yet in the past few days, he only needed to go to the kindergarten to prepare lunch, so he let them sleep until after 8 o'clock, but today was different.
To be more accurate, except for weekends and holidays, these two little ones couldn't enjoy such treatment anymore.
The entrance time for Dorami Kindergarten is from 7:50 to 8:20 in the morning.
And breakfast time is at 9:30.
As a kitchen staff member, Huang Jun was expected to go early to prepare, just like Aunt Li and Aunt Lin, but Liang Yinqiu, considering he had to take care of the two children, allowed him to arrive by 8:20.
Both Aunt Lin and Aunt Li had no objections to this, and reassured him, promising to get the preliminary kitchen work done properly for him.
What else could Huang Jun say but thank them with a smile.
Fortunately, having had an early night's sleep, Qingqing was well-rested.
When she heard her father's call, she rubbed her eyes and obediently got out of bed, sitting at the bedside and lifting her arms and legs for him to help her change into her school uniform.
As for Weiwei!
Although awakened groggily by Huang Jun's persistent urging, she unhappily frowned, pouting her little mouth and muttering, "Hmm... Daddy, don't bother me~"
"No way!"
Huang Jun chuckled helplessly, gently lifting the stray hair stuck to her cheek, "If you don't get up soon, you'll be late for school. Hurry up and get up..."
Qingqing also reached over the little blanket and patted Weiwei's little bottom, "Sister, you big lazybones, get up or you'll be late..."
"Hmph~"
Weiwei pouted, rubbed her eyes, and said with grievance, "I'm getting up, I'm not a lazybones..."
"Alright, Weiwei isn't a big lazybones."
Huang Jun gave her little nose a playful tweak, then took her clothes and smiled, "Sit up properly, Daddy will help you get dressed."
"Daddy, I can do it myself!"
Still a bit grumpy from waking up, Weiwei pouted and declined her father's help, threw off the little blanket, sat up, and began putting on her school uniform herself.
But, alas, with small hands struggling to button up, she had to look to Huang Jun for help, "Daddy, help me..."
"Alright!"
After the two little ones got dressed and out of bed, Huang Jun urged them to quickly freshen up.
After preparing their toiletries, he busied himself with combing and styling their hair.
Finally, amidst the chaos, the morning routine was done.
Then he urged the little ones to quickly have breakfast.
Today's breakfast was omelet rice.
The moment he lifted the lid...
The aroma of eggs filled the air!
It lingered around Qingqing and Weiwei's noses, making them exclaim, "Smells so good..."
The golden, tender half-set egg wrap, enclosing the fragrant, steaming sausage fried rice, formed a plump olive shape, with the egg cover garnished with a thick, appetizing tomato sauce, adding some alluring color to this delicious meal.
Just looking at that vivid color made one's mouth water.
After the first bite, Qingqing and Weiwei couldn't stop scooping more with their spoons.
"Daddy's omelet rice is so delicious!"
The two little ones exclaimed, their mouths full.
Then, they eagerly scooped more spoonfuls of the omelet rice, bringing both egg and rice together into their mouths, where the soft, tender egg skin and the distinct rice grains seemed to make their taste buds bloom.
So delicious!
Weiwei and Qingqing immersed themselves in the deliciousness of the omelet rice, ignoring even their favorite yogurt.
"So tasty, Daddy, Qingqing wants to have omelet rice again tomorrow morning!"
As Huang Jun was clearing the dishes, the two little ones clung to his legs, one on each side, cajoling, "Pretty please? Pretty please?"
How could Huang Jun resist their sweet, pleading voices?
He laughed, "But Daddy has one condition. If you can do it, I'll make it for you every day."
Qingqing tilted her little head, her big eyes full of curiosity: "Daddy, what are the conditions?"
"Daddy, don't make it a difficult condition, okay? If it's too hard, what if Weiwei can't do it?" Weiwei lowered her head, twisting her two index fingers together, looking very anxious.
"Don't worry, it won't be difficult."
Huang Jun smiled, squatted down, and pointed to his own cheek: "Give Daddy a kiss!"
That's it?!
Simple!
Weiwei's little face, which was about to wrinkle like a bun, instantly blossomed like a flower. She then puckered her soft little lips and kissed Huang Jun on the cheek.
Qingqing also puckered her soft little lips and gave Huang Jun a big kiss on the cheek.
In any case, she needed to one-up her sister!
Huang Jun chuckled: "OK!"
After doing the dishes, Huang Jun took the backpack and water bottle, holding the hands of his two little ones, and left the house.
At this time, the people in the neighborhood had long since woken up and had breakfast, beginning their day's activities.
Some elderly people returning from their morning walks saw Huang Jun and his daughters and smiled, greeting them.
Upon learning that the two little ones were going to school, they all advised them to study well and listen to the teachers in kindergarten.
Qingqing and Weiwei nodded obediently in response, behaving very sensibly.
Probably because today was the first day of school, there were quite a few cars on the road and many parents sending off their kids.
Qingqing and Weiwei were witnessing such a scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but look around curiously, seeming quite intrigued.
As they passed by Hu Jin Kindergarten, cheerful music echoed throughout the campus, and the entrance of the kindergarten was bustling with activity.
"Welcome, children, to Hu Jin Kindergarten..."
The neatly dressed teachers, holding colorful balloons, stood on both sides of the balloon-decorated archway, clapping and warmly welcoming the new students and their parents with bright smiles.
Inside the kindergarten, there were ceremonies like "First Day Hurdles," "Drum Wisdom Transmission," "Cinnabar Enlightenment," "Brush Wisdom Acquisition," and "Wish Card Writing."
I must say, this entrance ceremony was full of rituals!
As a result, the children coming to school were attracted by this "first day ceremony," happily pulling their parents' hands as they entered the campus.
No child cried,
which made the teachers, including Principal Li Huizhen and Lin Jiayi, very pleased.
Having such an effect on the first day of school was really not bad at all. On the other hand, on the first day of school in other kindergartens, there would surely be chaos...
...
Outside the gates of Dorami Kindergarten, many cars were parked at the moment, making the road congested, and many parents had just dropped their kids off.
As such, the entrance was bustling with noise and excitement.
Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing, along with other teachers from different classes, were standing at the school gate, lined up in two rows, welcoming the children coming to school.
The kids from the big and middle classes behaved quite well.
Although some of them were unwilling to attend school, with the teachers' patient reassurance, these children quickly waved goodbye to their parents and entered the kindergarten to go to their own classes.
However.
When the first new student from the small class arrived at the kindergarten gate, crying erupted instantly.
"Waaah, I don't want to go to kindergarten, wah wah..."
At first, parents and teachers took turns trying to soothe the kids, hoping they would calm down and obediently follow the teachers into the school.
But.
The idea was beautiful, but reality was harsh.
The crying kids didn't listen to anything, clinging to their parents without letting go, crying and fussing.
Helplessly, one teacher had to carry the child into the kindergarten, while another teacher reassured the parents, telling them this was normal, and that once in the classroom, the teachers would take care of the child and ensure they wouldn't keep crying.
Although this new student wasn't from Class (4) of the small class, Xie Jianing and Yang Yuxi couldn't help but exchange a glance, seeing a sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Ah!
How could the new kids in the small class not cry and fuss on their first day at kindergarten?
Even if there were, they were extremely rare!
As the kindergarten gate began to intermittently resound with the sound of crying and fussing, the teachers were quickly overwhelmed, having to soothe the children while also calming the parents, wishing they could clone themselves to better handle this situation.
