Chapter 832 - 590: These Parents Really Dare to Dream
Yang Yuxi watched the scene, feeling a bit puzzled in her heart: Uh... is it that I didn’t express myself clearly enough, or did they misunderstand a bit?
Xie Jianing also felt a bit speechless and suddenly had a sense that the situation had become unexpectedly out of place...
Seeing the parents immersed in their own understandings, their excitement pouring out, Yang Yuxi quickly clarified: "Dear parents, perhaps there has been a misunderstanding. On Children’s Day, our kindergarten mainly arranges for the children to perform on stage, while parents sit and enjoy their performance. Also, please remember that the kindergarten does not provide lunch on the day of the event."
These words were like cold water poured on the parents’ hearts, instantly extinguishing their enthusiasm.
Qu Qing rolled her eyes, suddenly coming up with a clever idea: "Miss Yang, actually watching the performance and dining aren’t mutually exclusive. We can totally enjoy the children’s splendid performance while savoring delicious food. Don’t you agree?"
Hey!
This idea is actually quite good!
Li Xiuxian cast a "you always have great ideas" appreciative glance at Qu Qing and agreed: "Yeah, just imagine, watching the children perform while tasting scrumptious dishes prepared by Qingqing’s dad, wouldn’t that be wonderful and blissful?"
"Exactly, performances and food are simply a perfect combination!" Xu Sijun quickly chimed in.
Hanghang’s mom took up the topic, saying, "Nowadays, it’s trendy in cinemas to eat hot pot while watching movies. Our kindergarten should keep up with the times. So, Miss Yang, I think Pengpeng’s mom’s proposal is seriously good."
Miaomiao’s mom also nodded in agreement, "I think so too, I strongly suggest the kindergarten consider this plan..."
Yang Yuxi: "╮(─▽─)╭"
Uh...
Dear parents, you hope to celebrate Children’s Day, a joyful occasion for the kids, by enjoying good food while watching their well-prepared performance. This vision certainly is enticing.
But you should understand clearly...
Children’s Day belongs to the children, not the parents...
Also, the way you’re going about it feels like you’re exhausting the teachers during Children’s Day and even want to tire out the kitchen staff...
All just for a bit of culinary indulgence!
Doesn’t your conscience hurt even a bit when doing this?
Of course, she can put in some extra effort, but if it makes Huang Jun suffer too, she will be the first to disagree...
Xie Jianing: "(ノ￣ー￣)ノノ(º_ºノ)"
These parents sure dare to imagine...
Even Xie Jianing wouldn’t dream of such things!
Uh...
It’s like the epitome of absurdity welcoming absurdity home...
Yang Yuxi smiled gracefully, saying: "In past years, the Children’s Day events at our kindergarten have primarily focused on performances."
The implication is that the proposal to arrange dining during the event might be hard to realize.
However...
The parents were not deterred.
Qu Qing immediately proposed a new suggestion: "Miss Yang, if it really doesn’t work out, why don’t we just skip the performance and directly host a banquet in the kindergarten? Of course, the prerequisite is having Qingqing’s dad be the chef~"
Although parents feel immense joy watching their children perform on stage, they also understand that the short performance involves countless hours of hard work by the children and teachers behind the scenes.
Children’s Day is inherently a joyful holiday meant for children to enjoy happiness and be carefree.
But when the kids tire themselves out rehearsing for a performance while the adults just sit as the audience, it’s hard not to reflect on whether it’s deviating from the holiday’s original intent, seeming quite a bit upside down.
Children’s Day should bring more joy to children and not become a "Children’s Performance Day" that they must complete.
"Indeed, having to rehearse during the scorching summer is extremely tough for both teachers and children. Rather than this, it’d be better for us to share delicious food and spend an enjoyable time at the kindergarten." Xu Sijun also agreed, supplementing the idea.
"Pengpeng’s mom’s suggestion is truly fantastic! This way, both teachers and children can avoid the hardships of rehearsal, and if the children know they won’t have to rehearse and can enjoy a feast instead, they’d surely be very happy." Li Xiuxian enthusiastically responded and added: "Miss Yang, don’t worry, we can totally handle the expenses ourselves."
"Yes, yes, we’ll cover the meal costs ourselves." Hanghang’s mom quickly agreed: "Miss Yang, please relay this to Director Liang, confirm the meal cost amount, and inform Qianqian’s mom. Then she can collect the amount in the group, or we can have the class fee for this semester cover it directly."
Yang Yuxi: "..."
Xie Jianing: "ヾ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ"
It sounds quite reasonable, making it hard to refute, let alone refuse...
Initially, Xie Jianing thought these parents’ ideas were too fanciful, but upon hearing the news of no rehearsal, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes, and she suddenly felt these parents seemed like adorable little angels, their idea was truly brilliant!
Leading the children in the junior class for a Children’s Day rehearsal involves hardships that only the personally experienced can understand.
Combined with the blazing summer, which already causes irritated moods, some children can’t learn no matter how they’re taught, or learn but don’t follow formations properly, making it extremely difficult for teachers to avoid losing their tempers.
