The children's competition has ended.
Next, a short break was taken.
Because Teacher Youzi had given prior notice, each parent prepared a dish to share with everyone.
Ning Wan prepared what she was good at – boxed lunches.
As soon as I opened the lid, I could smell the aroma of the boxed lunch.
Unable to contain his craving, Wang Jun finally put down the camera he had been carrying all morning: "I've heard that Yan Shu's mother's boxed lunches are delicious. Today I finally have the chance to try them."
Sun Wen also opened a boxed lunch: "Wow~ braised prawns, blanched okra, and chicken stew with mushrooms, all delicious dishes!"
Jiang Zhiruo also said with a smile, "Compared to Yanshu's mother, what we're doing is just kids playing house."
Sun Wen's dish is simple and straightforward: a platter of sliced fruit.
Jiang Zhiruo puts in a little more effort, making her own sushi rolls.
Ning Wan didn't mince words, saying seriously, "This is my livelihood. Please don't use your hobby to challenge my profession!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
...
Before we knew it, summer had quietly come to an end.
After being outdoors for a long time, I no longer feel the heat.
The autumn weather is clear and sunny.
Occasionally, leaves rustle in the autumn wind, swirling in the air.
A bird perched on a branch, curiously craning its neck, listening intently to the cheerful laughter...
...
Everyone spread out picnic mats near their respective classrooms and filled them with all sorts of food and drinks.
There are fragrant fried chicken burgers, delicious desserts and cakes, as well as a variety of snacks, fruit juices and drinks.
The boxed lunches that Ning Wan makes are mostly eaten by adults.
It's rare for children to have a legitimate reason to eat snacks, so each of them chooses their favorites to share with their friends.
Ning Wan noticed that Ning Yanshu was acting very strangely today.
He always seemed distracted.
Even when Wang Zihao offered him a bottle of juice, he didn't hear him clearly even after being called several times.
"Little mole!"
"Huh? What?"
“I’m talking to you, why aren’t you answering me?” Wang Zihao handed over the juice: “This is freshly squeezed juice from my mom this morning, you should try it.”
"Thank you." Ning Yanshu took the juice, but seemed uninterested.
"What's wrong? You look preoccupied," Wang Zihao asked. "The parent-child competition is this afternoon. Haven't your other relatives arrived yet?"
Ning Yanshu's disappointment deepened: "...I don't know."
Her once bright eyes have gradually faded with the passage of time.
Ning Wan, who had been paying close attention to Ning Yanshu, could not possibly have missed this.
She got up, intending to quietly make a phone call to Xu Xiufeng.
Suddenly, music started playing—
I love you, walking alone through dark alleys.
I love the way you refuse to kneel.
I've faced despair while loving you.
Refusing to have a good cry...
...
It was Ning Yanshu's smartwatch ringing.
His previous dejection vanished, and he raised his arm high, a radiant smile spreading across his face: "They're here! They're here!"
Who's here?
Ning Wan saw Ning Yanshu answer the phone and reply with a few "uh-huhs" to the person on the other end.
Then he got up from his seat and ran outside without looking back.
Ning Wan followed along, still feeling uneasy.
Upon arriving at the kindergarten gate, they were surprised to see Ning You and Lu Chen, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.
And Chen Limin too?!
Three people were drawn in the lottery?
This child is truly promising!
...
For some unknown reason, Chen Limin got into an argument with Wang Dequan, the security guard on duty at the gate.
Ning Youze was carefully protected by Lu Chen, who stood by with a look of anticipation.
"I already told you I came by invitation, why are you so stubborn?" Chen Limin said impatiently, "If that little brat hadn't kept begging me, I wouldn't have come. It's delaying my business."
“I’m sorry, but the kindergarten has a rule that invited parents must show an invitation letter to enter the school.” Wang Dequan’s attitude was firm and uncompromising: “This is for the safety of the children, please understand.”
Ning Youke was pleased to see Chen Limin get the short end of the stick.
She added sarcastically, "That's right, they're all doing this for the children's safety. What if some weird or illegal people sneak in during the sports meet? That would be so dangerous."
"you……"
Chen Limin was about to argue with her, but when she turned around and saw Ning You's pregnant belly, she immediately gave up.
"Ha, stop trying to taunt me. Even if I can't get in, you won't get in either."
To everyone's surprise, Ning You remained calm and composed.
She slowly took a greeting card out of her bag and handed it to Wang Dequan: "Excuse me, is this the invitation?"
Wang Dequan took the inspection: "Yes, that's right, it's this one. You two can go in now."
Ning You looked smug.
She walked slowly past Chen Limin, her pregnant belly protruding and her back supported.
Just then, they saw Ning Yanshu and Ning Wan, who had arrived late.
"Oh, Little Shu's here. Are you here to greet your aunt at the door?"
Upon seeing Ning Yanshu, Chen Limin was furious.
"Little brat, tell me, wasn't it your invitation that made me absolutely, positively, and unavoidably come? Now, without that damn invitation, I can't get in. Tell me! How are you going to make up for a day of my time?"
If it weren't for participating in his so-called parent-child sports meet, she wouldn't have deliberately closed the shop and given up making money.
Ning Yanshu asked suspiciously, "I gave you the invitation, you know, it's that little card from back then. Aunt Chen, have you forgotten?"
