Chapter 20 Unexpected business (Chapter 3 is here)
After I got home in the morning, I kept busy until about one o'clock in the afternoon, baking all the prepared ingredients in a small pot.
Today I am a little more proficient than yesterday, the overall progress is faster, and the time is shorter.
Because of the addition of red dragon fruit and carrots, Xia Zekai also made three different colors of red beans, light yellow, and milky white.
Spread out all the melted beans that have been roasted for several hours and let them dry first. This will make the melted beans crispier.
Xia Zekai opened the kitchen window again for ventilation, then went to take a shower and threw his clothes into the drum washing machine.
After taking a shower, I put on new clothes and came out with a faint mint scent.
Looking up and seeing the three-color melted beans spread on the coffee table, Xia Zekai felt a sense of accomplishment.
It was nearly two hours before he picked up his daughters at four o'clock. Xia Zekai thought that if he could sleep for more than an hour and catch up on his nap, it would not be too late to pick up his two daughters.
It's a pity that God was not kind. The mobile phone that had been quiet on the sofa woke up at this time, singing "The First Snow in 2002". Xia Zekai stared at the Nokia N96 on the sofa with dry eyes, his head
Once I was so annoyed that I wanted to smash it.
He muttered: "You said you can't ring the phone an hour later? If I had known this, I should have muted you just now."
He looked over and saw the words 'Kindergarten Litmus' marked on the screen of his mobile phone. Xia Zekai's nagging just now disappeared. He quickly walked around the coffee table, picked up his mobile phone and answered the call.
"Hey, is this Teacher Shi? Is there something going on between Yatou and Tongtong?" Xia Zekai was a little anxious.
He thought that the two girls were only on their second day of kindergarten. Under normal circumstances, they shouldn't 'call their parents' now, right?
But I can’t say for sure. Who knows what the situation in kindergartens is like now?
"Mr. Xia, right? I'm Lit Rui. If you have time now, come to our kindergarten. I want to talk to you about something." Lit Rui's voice came.
Hearing what she said, Xia Zekai's heart immediately jumped up. What are you talking about?
It's definitely not a good thing to be called "parents" two hours before school ends.
"Okay, I'll be there right away. I'll be there in ten minutes at most." Xia Zekai didn't say much, quickly put on his shoes, put on a thick coat, took the keys, and ran out.
When he walked to the door, he turned around and saw a thick layer of three-color melted beans on the coffee table. His eyes rolled around in a circle, and he turned around to find a clean plastic bag and put a pack in it, thinking that he would leave it later.
No matter what happens, give the teacher a packet to try first, so that you can be accommodating if anything happens.
After all, it is made by one's own hands, it doesn't matter whether it is money or not, the main thing is the love.
Six minutes later, Xia Zekai, who had been running all the way from upstairs, finally arrived at the entrance of Qiyun Kindergarten, 4 minutes earlier than expected.
He took a few deep breaths at the door, then stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes that were out of shape due to running, and walked toward the kindergarten door.
It was not yet school time, and the kindergarten door was still closed. When the old security guard who was keeping warm in the small house at the door saw Xia Zekai, he came out and asked him through the big iron gate: "What are you doing?"
"Uncle, it was Teacher Shi Rui who called me here. Please open the door for me." Xia Zekai said.
The old security guard obviously knew this. He asked: "Are you Xia Zekai? Teacher Shi came over just now to say hello, so come in. It's class time, so don't wander around."
As he spoke, he used the key to unlock the big lock on the iron door.
"Don't worry, we definitely can't disturb the children's study." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
He habitually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, clasped his thumb with his middle finger, and flicked hard from the bottom of the pack. Two cigarettes popped out. He took out one and handed it to the old security guard: "Uncle,
I didn’t bring any good cigarettes, so you can just smoke one, don’t feel bad about it.”
The old security guard was obviously a long-time smoker. He subconsciously looked around and saw that there was no one else there. He quickly picked it up with a smile: "There are rules in the kindergarten. You can't smoke here. Although this job doesn't pay much, it's still a good job."
It’s easy, I don’t even dare to carry cigarettes with me anymore, I’ll find a place to take a few puffs after I get off work.”
When Xia Zekai heard what he said, he simply threw the remaining half of the box of cigarettes to him: "Then these are all for uncle. I'm planning to quit smoking recently, and I thought it would be a pity to throw them away. Uncle, please kindly help me."
"This... this is not very good!" The old security guard felt a little embarrassed. He took the half box of cigarettes that Xia Zekai forced on him, but he couldn't accept it, and he was a little reluctant to accept it.
"Uncle, I have to go find Teacher Shi quickly. Let's take some time to chat." Xia Zekai was so smart that he hurried towards the teaching building.
At the door of the Mango Class classroom, Xia Zekai glanced inside, and saw Litui standing at the door. He turned around and saw him. He called another tall and thin teacher in the classroom and hurried out.
"Dad Xia Jingya, you're here." Shi Rui greeted with a smile.
Xia Zekai thought about this smile, things shouldn't be too bad.
He nodded: "Teacher Shi, please tell me quickly. Why are you calling me here in such a hurry? What happened to Yatou and Tongtong?"
Litui waved her hand: "Mr. Xia, don't worry, that's what happened. You packed the melted beans in the schoolbags for the two sisters in the morning, and later they gave them to the children in our class. They all liked it."
"But I left some for the sisters. It was nothing at first, but at noon, the little girl Xia Tong asked me to take it out for her to eat. The other children in our class gave up and all wanted to grab it..."
"Child Xia Tong was so anxious that he pushed down a little boy. The boy might have been frightened. He was crying loudly at the time. Fortunately, he fell on his buttocks and was not injured."
"Mr. Ke Xia, do you know that the child Xia Tong gave him a few melted beans and the child stopped crying? Your daughter is so thoughtful." Lit Rui looked amazed.
"..." Xia Zekai looked confused after hearing what she said. Are you sure there is nothing else?
Didn't my daughter get into a fight and make someone look bad?
After a while, he asked: "Teacher Shi, you called me in advance and called me over just to tell me this?"
"Ah, no, look at my brain." Shi Rui looked a little embarrassed, and she quickly got down to business: "Mr. Xia, do you want to sell the melted beans you made?"
"Sell...sell melted beans?" Xia Zekai's thinking was a little down, and he always felt that something was wrong.
But when I think about it more carefully, no one seems to say it can’t be sold!
Litui heard his question and nodded: "Yes, just sell us a little."
