Chapter 238 Dad! Haven't you eaten?
After Qin Feng finished handling the remaining matters, Lu Junxing prepared to pick up the young girl who had started and finished her meal early and take her home. On the way, An'an even called to give him some instructions:
"Dad? You're going to come pick me up in a big car! I got all the big gifts!"
"I'm going to take them home so that Dad will have money to support them!"
Lu Junxing's toothache intensified at the thought of those kids, how "ambitious" they were, asking the children attending the banquet to bring gifts in advance.
However, he didn't say anything, but simply had someone prepare appropriate return gifts for the children. When they arrived at the kindergarten, they saw the little girl saying goodbye to her friends.
An'an looked at the few red envelopes in the bag and was a little sad, but looking at the pile of gifts she had received, she said with a smile, "Come again when I get married next time!"
Duoduo: "Next time, everyone should bring red envelopes! There are too many gifts; I can't carry them all!"
Zhuangzhuang remembered the gifts the children had brought; few of them were things the boys liked, but rather the dolls that An'an and the others preferred. "I also think red envelopes are better," Zhuangzhuang said. "Niu Niu, next time you should bring red envelopes!"
The other children were also very happy, waving to An'an and the others and saying, "Okay~, see you tomorrow~"
Several children, still wanting more, turned to their parents and said, "Mom~, I want to get married too, can you find me a husband?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinbao and Xu Tinglan both looked embarrassed and gave the other parent, whose face was already frozen, an apologetic smile: "Haha~, looks like the kids had a lot of fun~"
Finally, Qi Rong, following Zhao Chenyu's instructions, subtly explained to the parents that today's event was mainly funded and organized by the kindergarten office.
If any parents have good educational activities to share in the future, please feel free to offer suggestions. They will consider adopting them.
To prevent these parents from using the excuse of organizing activities for the kindergarten to solicit favors or conduct business at the kindergarten,
Their circles are not lacking; families go to great lengths to send their children to elite schools so that their children can network with children from even more powerful families.
After all, some people might casually let slip a little information or look down on a small business, which could be enough for some small households to live on for a year. Parents who gain business benefits from this would be even more eager to have their children make connections with such people.
Qi Rongyu didn't want her child to get involved in those things too early, and she didn't want the kindergarten to become a mess, so she approved of Lu Junxing and his team's approach.
That evening, before Lu Junxing could even prepare a lavish meal, An'an and Duoduo, among others, eagerly handed over their meager red envelopes, declaring, "It's on us!"
Before anyone else could react, Lu Junxing opened his wallet first: "I don't have any money for your gift. Would you like to ask if you'd like to have a meal?"
It's no wonder Lu Junxing thought that way. An'an had hosted an opening banquet and now a wedding, both of which involved giving gifts. He was worried that this troublesome girl would think that hosting a banquet meant expecting gifts, so this was a good opportunity to teach her a lesson.
Before they could react, he strode toward the car, saying, "Let's go! It's rare to see such filial piety from them!"
Wang Jinbao and Xu Tinglan glanced at the children who were still standing there in disbelief, and decided that they couldn't let them think that hosting a banquet and receiving gifts was free. So they decided that they would not only eat, but go to the best place!
The group then arrived at Wangjing Tower.
An'an had just sat down when her father tossed a menu into her lap: "Order now, the host will order first!"
An'an opened the menu with her little hand, but Duoduo pulled her aside and whispered, "An'an~, let's just order one!"
Zhuangzhuang nodded, and the parents watched as the three children flipped through the menu again and again, muttering to themselves for the time it takes to drink several cups of tea, before finally ordering a soup!
It was a vegetarian dish, and you could tell it was Duoduo, the only one among them who knew numbers over a hundred, who gave them pointers. The parents didn't stand on ceremony and immediately grabbed the menu and started flipping through it:
Seeing Lu Junxing's posture, An'an nervously reached into her purse and touched her red envelope, adding, "Daddy~, you can't order anything expensive, okay? I don't have any money~"
Zhuangzhuang: "Yes, Dad, eat less, your belly is so big!"
Duoduo: "Mommy~, all the food here costs so much, we need to be careful!"
Hearing this, Xu Tinglan laughed and said, "I haven't even started ordering yet, and you're already telling me to save money? Hahaha~, you're quite clever~, your dad will be here in a bit, and I've ordered enough for two people!"
Duoduo quickly said, "Then let's tell Dad not to come over! That way we can save some money!"
Xu Tinglan glanced at her daughter speechlessly, but said nothing. In the end, she still gave her mother a chance to eat: "Fine! Let your dad help you save some money!"
Wang Jinbao: "Hahaha~, I never thought Director Jiang would be like this. He was so stingy with us last time we recorded the show, but this time Duoduo has saved us money!"
Chatting and laughing, An'an, feeling uneasy, changed seats and happily climbed into her father's lap. Seeing the tempting pictures of steaks and exquisite cakes on the menu...
An'an immediately helped Lu Junxing rummage through the trash: "Daddy~, you need to eat more vegetables, those are the cheapest!"
Zhuangzhuang immediately helped his dad, flipping the menu to the back: "Yes, yes, Duoduo said the vegetables are the cheapest, Dad, just order from here!"
Wang Jinbao glanced at it; Wangjinglou was the most famous restaurant in Haicheng, and even the cheapest cabbage there cost three figures.
The red envelopes in the hands of the younger children were given by their parents. Wang Jinbao knew they only had a few thousand yuan, so he didn't look at them again and directly ordered a dish of hand-torn cabbage.
Xu Tinglan ordered stuffed tofu, but Lu Junxing grabbed the little girl who was nagging in his ear and dragged her away, ordering stir-fried beef and honey-glazed chicken legs instead.
An'an looked at the three-digit numbers behind the menu pictures. Duo Duo had just said that the more numbers there were, the more expensive it was!
The little girl was so angry that she banged her head against Lu Junxing, crying out, "Waaah~, Daddy! Haven't you eaten?"
Even Duo Duo and Zhuang Zhuang looked dejected when they saw the prices: "Sigh~"
An'an: "Hmph~, I want to eat more!"
Zhuangzhuang: "Yes, we must finish it all so we don't lose out. That's what my grandma said when she took me to a banquet! If we can't finish it, we'll put it in a bag and take it home to eat!"
Duo Duo, meanwhile, was already under the table, humming and counting her money.
