Chapter 694 - 541: Certificate of Merit
Time flows like fine sand slipping through fingertips. Unnoticed, this semester has quietly turned to its final Chapter.
On this extraordinary day, the children of Dorami Kindergarten welcomed their semester’s celebration of glory — the graduation ceremony.
Today not only marks the perfect end to the learning journey of this semester but will also become a shining memory on the path of the children’s growth.
The arrangement of the graduation ceremony is actually quite simple.
The core part is the presentation of awards, recognizing the children’s efforts and achievements throughout the semester.
Therefore.
The little ones need only spend a morning filled with laughter and pride on the campus, fully enjoying this moment of glory that belongs to them, letting the joy ripple through their hearts.
And whenever the kindergarten holds such celebratory events, it is customary not to arrange breakfast or lunch for the children.
This arrangement, for Huang Jun, undoubtedly reduced his workload for the morning.
He only needed to prepare a simple meal before the lunch period for the teachers and leaders in the kindergarten. This way, he could free up more precious time to savor the atmosphere of this special day, to witness firsthand the growth and transformation of Qingqing and Weiwei, and to deeply experience the joy and pride that overflow from their achievements.
Just thinking that after today, the winter break will officially begin.
Just the thought of it made Huang Jun feel extraordinarily delighted!
He felt that choosing to work at the kindergarten was an extremely wise decision!
Not only did it solve the schooling problem for Qingqing and Weiwei, but it also found him a perfect job with weekends off and summer and winter breaks.
You know, in today’s society, finding a job with two days off is not easy, and benefits like summer and winter breaks are a dream many long for but rarely realize.
Huang Jun felt very fortunate to enjoy such work treatment.
Just as he was lost in thought, a young and sweet voice broke his reverie...
"Daddy, hurry up, hurry up, we’re going to be late!"
Before the words even fell.
Weiwei, like a little whirlwind, bounced into the living room in her cute snow boots, immediately turning to look back anxiously, a sense of urgency written all over her.
"Yeah, Daddy, you really need to hurry, if we don’t leave now, we’ll be late!"
Qingqing’s voice followed right after, also looking back.
"Don’t worry, it’s just a few minutes away, we won’t be late. Come on, put on another jacket."
Huang Jun had just found some clothes from the children’s closet, but when he turned around, he found that the two little ones had already disappeared, so he had no choice but to quickly chase out with their down jackets.
Qingqing said nothing, obediently took the jacket, and quickly put it on.
But...
Weiwei hurriedly waved her little hand, blocking the jacket Huang Jun offered, her pink little mouth slightly pouting, her face full of a child’s unique stubbornness and reluctance: "Daddy, I don’t want to wear it, I’m not cold at all, I’m wearing enough already."
She was dressed in thermal underwear, a turtleneck wool sweater, and a red fleece-lined knit straight dress, with thermal pants and thick fleece-lined leggings under the skirt.
This outfit was enough to ward off the winter chill indoors, but once she stepped outside, facing the colder winds, this warmth seemed a bit inadequate.
Even though the sun was out, chasing away some of the cold, it was still not enough!
"Weiwei, listen, it’s much colder outside than it is at home, you need to put on this down jacket to ensure you won’t catch a cold and get sick."
Huang Jun’s eyes were full of affection as he gently persuaded her.
Despite Weiwei’s little tantrum, she was after all an obedient child.
So...
Faced with her father’s insistence, she finally yielded and stretched out her little arms with a bit of grievance in her voice: "Okay, Daddy, but this way I won’t be as pretty! The photos won’t turn out as nice later..."
Oh!
Who would’ve thought...
This little one harbors a small pursuit for beauty.
Even in the chilly weather, she didn’t want to give up her desire and yearning for beauty.
Aye!
What an adorable yet vain little girl!
Huang Jun smiled, gently ruffled Weiwei’s little head, and said, "Weiwei, do you know? True beauty isn’t about how good your clothes look. If you can earn the ’Good Child’ certificate with your efforts today, you’ll be the brightest, most beautiful girl in the world. Because well-behaved and sensible children have beauty radiating from the depths of their hearts, which is the most touching. By then, everyone will look at you with admiration and praise, and they’ll give you a thumbs-up, proudly saying: ’Weiwei, you’re the best!’"
"Really?"
Weiwei’s eyes lit up immediately, as if she could already see herself standing on the podium, holding the certificate, feeling elated inside.
Qingqing, upon hearing this, also felt a itch in her heart. She also wanted that certificate, to become the best child.
"Of course it’s true!"
Huang Jun nodded firmly, his words full of unquestionable trust and encouragement: "You must work hard, Daddy believes you can do it!"
"Then I must get the ’Good Child’ certificate and become the prettiest, best little girl!" Weiwei said earnestly.
