Chapter 393: Chapter 362: Will the People from the Government Kindergarten Still Come Today Since It’s Raining?

Time flies swiftly, like a white colt breezing past a gap; in a flash, the calendar has turned to October 16th.

Last night’s rain seemed just like the overture carefully prepared by nature for today’s special day, falling drizzily all night long. Even by dawn, the rain strings gently plucked the air, like delicate guitar strings, lingering and lovingly narrating the poetry of autumn.

They say an autumn rain brings a chill!

Indeed, today’s weather carries a hint of autumn’s coolness; the air is filled with the fresh moisture brought by the autumn rain. The trees in the neighborhood, washed clean by the rain, appear more vividly green and full of life.

Within this fine rain, Qingqing wears a Mei Yangyang raincoat, along with pink Mei Yangyang rain boots, holding Huang Jun’s hand, bouncing her way towards the parking lot. Each step creates a "patter-patter" sound, causing a happy smile to bloom on her little face.

As for Weiwei!

She wears a playful Peppa Pig raincoat, with matching pink Peppa Pig rain shoes, also holding Huang Jun’s hand, hopping towards the parking lot.

However...

When she arrives beside the parking space, her gaze accidentally falls on a puddle by the roadside, and her eyes immediately sparkle with excitement, while her heart surges with an irresistible impulse.

That’s right.

Her heart starts yearning for the joy of Peppa Pig jumping in puddles from the cartoon.

So then...

She cautiously approaches the puddle, first gently poking the water surface with her toe to test its depth.

After determining it’s safe...

She lifts her foot without hesitation and stomps the puddle hard, making the water splash instantly and forming beautiful arcs.

"Hehe, jumping in puddles is so much fun... hehe~"

Weiwei’s laughter rings crisp and sweet, like silver bells echoing in the air.

Beside, Qingqing is drawn by the joyous scene, her eyes showing a hint of envy.

Wants to play!

Yet she’s worried their father might be unhappy about them splashing water; her tiny hands unconsciously rub her clothes hem, her small head tilted up to look at Huang Jun with an expectant gaze, as if saying: Dad, can I play in the puddle?

Huang Jun, understandingly, smiles slightly and nods, saying, "Qingqing, if you want to play, go ahead, but only for five minutes, otherwise we’ll be late."

"Okay!"

Qingqing nods obediently, her face lighting up with a happy smile, and she dashes joyfully towards Weiwei like a lively little deer.

"Weiwei, same goes for you, only five minutes!" Huang Jun shouts towards the not-too-distant Weiwei.

"Alright, got it~"

Weiwei turns back, her eyes twinkling with pleasure, sweetly responding.

And so.

The figures of the two little ones shuttle between puddles, each leap seemingly weaving a vivid picture. The splashes and their laughter together form this wonderful moment.

Huang Jun stands nearby, watching them with a smile. His happiness prompts him to take out his phone and capture this pure, innocent joyful time, preserving their carefree smiles and untroubled childhood.

"Daddy, let me see, I want to watch too!"

Exhausted from playing, Qingqing and Weiwei run to Huang Jun’s side, keen to appreciate the delightful moments captured earlier.

Huang Jun, smiling, hands the phone to them. The two little ones huddle close, fixated on the screen, flipping through the photos, occasionally uttering joyful praise: "This one’s beautiful!"

"Is it time? We have to go now; otherwise, we’ll be late for school." Huang Jun quietly reminds them.

"Okay!"

Qingqing and Weiwei respond in unison, nodding obediently.

Huang Jun leads them to the car, helps them take off their raincoats, shakes off the rain drops, and neatly folds them to place in a storage bag.

"Qingqing, Weiwei!"

"Hmm?"

Qingqing and Weiwei simultaneously tilt their heads, blinking their curious big eyes, and ask in unison, "What is it, Daddy?"

Huang Jun tidies their hair gently and asks softly, "Are you cold?"

"Not cold!"

Qingqing shakes her little head lightly, then care-warmly asks back, "Dad, are you cold?"

"Yeah, Daddy, are you cold?" Weiwei joins in the inquiry.

Their innocent inquiries flow into Huang Jun’s heart like a warm current, and he smiles as he shakes his head: "Daddy isn’t cold either."

With that.

He fastens the little ones’ seatbelts, not forgetting to urge, "Sit tight, we’re setting off!"

Qingqing immediately responds, "Don’t worry, Daddy, my sister and I will sit nicely, no fidgeting!"

Weiwei also nods primly, softly saying, "Mm-hmm~"

"Good girl!"

Huang Jun smiles and strokes their little cheeks, then closes the car door, turns, and walks to the driver’s seat to start the car, taking them to Dorami Kindergarten.

On the road.

Qingqing suddenly recalls the little cat in the Kindergarten, worry appears slightly on her face: "Dad, do you think Meat Bun will be cold?"

Seeing this, Weiwei immediately thinks of her little cat Pumpkin Pie, echoing Qingqing: "Yeah, will my Pumpkin Pie also be cold?"

Huang Jun laughs and says, "Don’t worry, Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie have their cozy nests, they’ll stay warm. Besides, Orange’s mother will take good care of them, so you don’t have to worry!"

"Alright!"

Qingqing and Weiwei agreed verbally, but their expressions still showed a hint of worry.

Catching their subtle emotions, Huang Jun continued in a gentle voice, "If you’re still a bit worried, when we get to the school, Daddy can take you to check on them first, ensure they’re okay before you go into the classroom, how about that?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Qingqing and Weiwei immediately broke into excited smiles.

With a good mood, they became lively and started humming a song in the back seat: "The sun shines in the sky, the flowers smile at me, the birds say good morning, why are you carrying a basket? I’m going to pick sweet-scented osmanthus..."

Huang Jun: "(’◇’)?"

Hmm?

Why does this song sound off?

Could it be there’s a new version of this song that he didn’t know about?

Thinking about how fast textbook content updates nowadays, with much being different from what he learned, he didn’t dwell on it and just assumed the song had a modern rendition.

Yes.

He never realized that the reason his two precious daughters were singing these lyrics was entirely due to Xie Jianing’s "misguidance."

If he knew the truth, he might be compelled to admonish Xie Jianing for misleading the children!

Amidst the cheerful singing of the two little ones, Huang Jun’s car slowly drove into the parking area near Dorami Kindergarten.

After parking the car,

he turned and smiled at the two little ones in the back seat, "Qingqing, Weiwei, we’ve arrived at school, time to get off the car."

As he spoke,

he quickly got out, putting raincoats back on Qingqing and Weiwei to keep them from getting wet by the rain.

"Let’s go!"

Holding their little hands, he walked towards the kindergarten gate together.

At this time, the kindergarten teachers were already standing at the door.

Yang Yuxi saw their family of three approaching, waved enthusiastically and shouted, "Qingqing, Weiwei, good morning! You both look like you’re in a great mood today!"

Xie Jianing, standing nearby, was attracted by the little one’s raincoats and rain boots, and couldn’t help praising, "Oh my, your raincoats and rain boots are so cute!"

Weiwei proudly lifted her head, blinking her bright eyes, and said proudly, "Daddy bought them for me, Miss Xie. If you like them too, you can ask your daddy to buy you some!"

Xie Jianing was amused by Weiwei’s words.

This little one treats her like a child!

She smiled and patted Weiwei’s head, "Weiwei, thank you for the suggestion, but if the teacher wants, I can buy them myself..."

"Qingqing, Weiwei, should the teacher take you in?"

But Weiwei shook her head, waving her little hand, "No need, I want to go with Daddy to see my Pumpkin Pie first."

Huang Jun explained with a smile, "They’re worried that Orange’s family might get cold, so I’ll take them to have a look first to ease their minds. We won’t trouble the teachers today."

"Alright, then we’ll see you in the classroom later!" Xie Jianing nodded in agreement.

"Okay!"

Huang Jun responded briefly and then turned to Yang Yuxi, concernedly asking, "Miss Yang, how was it yesterday when you went with Director Liang to exchange with the Government Kindergarten?"

Yang Yuxi smiled and replied, "It was great! Their new campus is bigger than ours, with comprehensive facilities, and the teachers are good too, but honestly, their food can’t compare with ours! What you cook is still the best, Huang Jun."

"Thank you for the praise." Huang Jun modestly accepted Yang Yuxi’s compliment, then continued to ask, "So, with today’s rain, are the people from the Government Kindergarten still coming over?"

Yang Yuxi thought about it and nodded, "We arranged for them to come today, so they should be on time, especially since they haven’t called to cancel yet."

"Okay, got it! Then I’ll head inside first."

Huang Jun nodded to Yang Yuxi, then led Qingqing and Weiwei into the school gate.

As soon as they entered...

Qingqing and Weiwei couldn’t wait to break free from Huang Jun’s hands, excitedly running towards Orange’s family’s little nest.

"Steamed bun..."

"Pumpkin pie..."

The two little ones saw that the kittens were safe and sound in their nest, and finally felt relieved, letting out a small sigh of relief.

Unable to resist squatting by the cat’s nest, they picked up the cat teaser toy bought by Yang Yuxi and started playing with their beloved Steamed Bun and Pumpkin Pie.

The front end of the cat teaser toy was a small cloth bag cleverly made to look like a mouse, while the tail was decorated with a fluffy synthetic feather, both cute and sturdy.

Steamed Bun and Pumpkin Pie couldn’t resist the cat teaser toy — as Qingqing and Weiwei swayed it from side to side, they followed along, shaking their little heads and even jumping around it.

"Giggle!"

Qingqing and Weiwei’s laughter was clear and melodious, they had more fun than the little kittens, laughing with uncontrollable joy.

Indeed~

Teasing the cats for a moment is fun, and teasing them continuously is even more fun...

Huang Jun stood aside, watching the joyful interaction between the kids and the kittens, shaking his head, but his eyes were full of affection,

He didn’t interrupt the little ones’ fun but let them enjoy their innocent and joyful time just a little longer.
