Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head while washing the vegetables.
Seeing that it was Qingqing, a kind smile immediately appeared on her old face, and the wrinkles were gently superimposed one by one, looking very cordial: “Qingqing is here.”
“Qing Qing will help grandma wash the vegetables.”
Qingqing naturally pulled the small stool aside, and sat down to help the grandmother wash the vegetables.
The first time she took something to eat from the kitchen grandmother, she was very embarrassed, and even worried that the kitchen grandmother would be scolded for taking things from the kindergarten kitchen privately.
Later, she learnt from her brother Nian Gao that the whole kindergarten is actually owned by the chef grandma.
And that she was not only the former head of the kindergarten, but also the mother of the current head, Qingqing knew that she had misunderstood.
The old people love their children all their lives, even if they are retired, they can’t stay at home, so they simply come back to the kindergarten to help and keep the children safe.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the presence of the chef grandmother that many parents can trust to keep their children in this kindergarten.
But Qingqing didn’t look at her identity at all. She only felt that she had eaten what others gave for nothing, so she had to help do something in return.
This is what Aunt Ding taught her, there is no pie from the sky in the world.(there’s no free lunch even in Freetown)
Therefore, every time Qing Qing ran over, she would help the chef grandma do what she could.
Sometimes she would help wash the vegetables like she’s doing now, and sometimes she helps carry small things that can be moved.
With the addition of Qingqing…
In fact, it is not very helpful to the process of washing the vegetables.
After all, she has small hands and works slowly. The only advantage is her meticulousness.
Every dish that has been washed by Qingqing’s hands is not really clean, and there is a need to go back and wash them again.
Although Qingqing’s help is not very useful, the chef grandma will not refuse her help.
It is a good thing for a child to come and help sensibly. There is no need to discourage other people’s enthusiasm. There is more encouragement so that she can learn to help others when she grows up.
Repaying peaches, Qingqing always comes to help, and the chef grandma will also bring some delicious cakes to her from home.
Compared with home-cooked meals, she is actually better at making various small cakes and pastries.
She brought the food for the children from home
Yes, she didn’t touch anything in the kindergarten at all, but Qingqing didn’t know it.
After washing a large pot of vegetables, the mother-in-law chef urged Qing Qing to go back.
She knew that there was a performance in the kindergarten today, and the stage was set up on the open space in the garden. Looking at Qingqing’s appearance today, she knows that she must be a performer on stage.
“Grandma, I’m leaving.”
Qingqing washed her hands and bid farewell to the chef grandma.
“Wait a moment.” The chef grandma called Qing Qing to stay, turned and walked quickly into the kitchen. When she came back, she carried an oil paper bag in her hand and handed it to Qing Qing.
“This is for Qingqing Parents’ Meeting today. Take these mung bean cakes back and eat them with your parents.”
“Okay, thank you grandma.”
Qingqing did not hesitate, and reached out to take the oil paper bag and said goodbye to the grandma again, this time she really left.
