"Happy times are always brief, and amid laughter and song, our event is coming to an end."

"Thank you to all the parents for your participation and cooperation, making this a memorable and enjoyable morning together."

"Through this morning’s performance, you may have delightfully discovered how outstanding our children truly are. They are changing and improving every day, revealing things we had never noticed before."

"Every child indeed has unlimited potential. As long as we provide opportunities and encouragement, each of our children will shine!"

"Let’s all wish them a healthy and happy growth together!"

"Finally..."

"On behalf of all the teachers and students in the kindergarten, I wish everyone a Happy New Year! May your family be happy and everything go smoothly!"

On stage, the principal in a red coat, holding a microphone, said the closing words with a smile.

As soon as the words were spoken!

Clap clap clap~

The parents and children in the audience all spontaneously applauded warmly. The children particularly shouted enthusiastically, calling "Principal Mommy," "Principal Mommy."

"Thank you~"

The principal nodded kindly in the direction of the children and bowed to thank the parents and audience below as she exited the stage.

The New Year performance concluded perfectly.

Teachers from each class clapped their hands, signaling their class kids to line up: "Children, line up first; we are going to the food area to enjoy some food!"

"Yay yay~"

"I love eating delicious food the most..."

Upon hearing about food, the children all showed a hopeful and joyful expression, excitedly jumping around.

The scene became lively and noisy!

The children from Class (4) looked at each other and also shared happy, joyful smiles.

Then they consciously lined up hand in hand with their friends and followed Teacher Xu Weiwei out of the performance venue and into the food area.

At this moment, the food area was crowded and bustling, packed so tightly that there was no space, a sea of heads at a glance.

A glance showed a mass of densely packed people.

It was all kids and parents coming to enjoy the food.

Where’s Daddy?

Xuanxuan stood in the middle of the queue, trying hard to stand on tiptoe, searching for that familiar figure in the crowd.

Then she immediately saw Huang Tao standing tall at the front of the food stall!

It’s Daddy~

Xuanxuan’s eyes instantly lit up, revealing a joyful expression.

"Teacher Xu, I’m going to find my daddy..."

Before the words were finished, Xuanxuan let go of her good friend Qianqian’s hand, twisted her body, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran towards her dad.

"Hey, don’t rush!"

Teacher Xu Weiwei, hearing this, quickly reached out to grab her, but unfortunately, couldn’t catch up.

The slender Xuanxuan was already slipping through the crowd.

The food area was now crowded with both children and parents; Teacher Xu Weiwei couldn’t let Xuanxuan run off alone.

The crowd was flowing!

What if she got knocked down and stepped on?

"Mr. Qian, can you and the other parents take these children to our class’s food stall..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After giving instructions, Xu Weiwei didn’t wait for Jiangling’s answer and hurried off after Xuanxuan.

But she couldn’t knock over other children or bump into other parents, so she had to navigate carefully one by one.

Where is Xuanxuan, small and nimble?

A moment later.

Wanting to surprise her dad, Xuanxuan crouched down and arrived beside her dad.

"Daddy~"

She happily hugged Huang Tao’s leg directly.

Although it had only been a little over two hours apart, it felt like a long, long time.

Xuanxuan buried her little head in Huang Tao’s pant leg, her small face tightly pressed against it, rubbing like a little kitten.

So so attached.

Huang Tao looked down at the "cute little pendant" on his leg, couldn’t help but reveal a delighted and happy smile, quickly picked her up into his arms, and gave her a big kiss on her little face.

No matter how noisy and bustling it was around, his heart was peaceful and warm.

Because at this moment, his heart was completely filled by this little one in his arms.

The feeling of happiness was overwhelming!

"Xuanxuan, even if you miss Daddy, you can’t run off alone like that, did you know how dangerous it was just now?"

Teacher Xu Weiwei finally caught up, gently scolding Xuanxuan softly, feeling a bit disappointed not to have turned steel into iron.

Huang Tao hadn’t expected that his precious daughter, in her eagerness to see him sooner, had forgotten the kindergarten’s rules.

"You, you~"

He fondly yet helplessly tapped Xuanxuan’s small nose: "Next time, you can’t leave the group like this! Otherwise, Teacher Xu and Daddy will be very worried and anxious, and if other children follow your example and run off alone, that wouldn’t be good at all. So let’s be a good example, not a bad one..."

Xuanxuan blinked, feeling that Teacher Xu and Daddy were both right!

Thinking of her recklessness, she felt a bit embarrassed, showing a "I know I’m wrong" expression: "Daddy, I understand, I won’t do it next time!"

"Teacher Xu, I know I’m wrong! I won’t do it next time!"

Seeing Xuanxuan realizing her mistake, Teacher Xu didn’t say anything further, turning back to lead the other children over.

Still longing for several hours, Xuanxuan continued clinging to her dad, hugging his neck tightly, refusing to let go.

Huang Tao had no choice but to indulge her a little while longer!

"Xuanxuan’s Daddy, are the wontons and soup dumplings ready?" Qianqian asked, looking up.

Her voice was loud!

As if afraid Huang Tao wouldn’t hear!

Huang Tao, who was teasing Xuanxuan, looked down at Qianqian, smiling warmly: "Yes, they are in the pot and cooking, they’ll be ready soon."

"Qianqian!"

Xuanxuan now wanted her dad to put her down, she happily took Qianqian’s hand and apologized, "Sorry, I left you alone just now."

"It’s okay!"

Qianqian shook her head, showing she didn’t mind, then looked at Huang Tao again, with a greedy yet sweet tone: "Xuanxuan’s Daddy, the food you make is always so delicious, the wontons and soup dumplings must be delicious too!"

This was a great compliment!

Huang Tao smiled, patting his precious daughter’s head, and then warmly said to Qianqian: "You two sit down for a bit, Uncle will go check if the wontons are ready. If they’re ready, I’ll bring you a bowl first."

Qianqian sweetly thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle~"

Oh~

This little mouth is as sweet as if it’s smeared with honey.

Jiangling, who was never treated this way by his own daughter, felt a bit sour watching this scene.

Oh!

It seems his daughter likes Huang Tao much more than her own dad...

Other children, upon hearing this, couldn’t wait to start clamoring:

"Xuanxuan’s Daddy, I want wontons too..."

"Xuanxuan’s Daddy, I also want to eat wontons..."

"I want some too, I want some too"

"Okay, okay, everyone will get some, sit down nicely first..."
