"Daddy!"
Xuanxuan dashed into Huang Tao's arms like a little swallow returning to its nest.
"Ah..."
Huang Tao smiled and picked her up.
Feeling her soft hair brushing against his face was so warm.
This was the happiest moment of the day!
"Goodbye Teacher Ye... Goodbye Teacher Xu..."
The father and daughter waved goodbye to the two teachers.
They returned to their electric scooter.
Huang Tao placed her on the back seat and put on her helmet.
On the way, Huang Tao couldn't wait and asked, "Xuanxuan, how was your day at kindergarten? Did you eat well at lunch? Have a good nap? Did you miss Daddy?"
"I did..."
Xuanxuan nodded very seriously, then happily started telling him about her day at kindergarten: "Daddy, I was great at kindergarten! In the morning, Teacher Ye did exercises with me and my friends, we had classes, I ate snacks, and for lunch, I finished all my food. Teacher Ye even praised me! I also slept well! After waking up, I finished all my afternoon snacks, and then... I even went outside with Teacher Ye and the kids for outdoor activities! I drew on the graffiti wall too! Daddy, guess what I drew?"
Huang Tao thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Little cat Mimi?"
"Wrong!" Xuanxuan shook her head with a smile.
Huh?
It wasn't her beloved Mimi after all.
If Mimi knew, it might sulk and cry at the store door.
But if Mimi knew his thoughts, Mimi would surely turn its face away in a huff, disdainfully.
Hmph~
This cat star wouldn't cry over such trifles at the shop~
Huang Tao shook his head, "What is it then? Daddy can't guess, so Xuanxuan, why don't you tell Daddy!"
Xuanxuan giggled, "It's pan-fried buns..."
"You little foodie, are you craving Daddy's pan-fried buns?" Huang Tao teased as he pinched her little nose.
"Yes!"
She nodded vigorously: "Not only me, but Qianqian and the others want to eat them too. They're all jealous of me having a Daddy who can cook and runs a restaurant! They even want to swap Daddies with me, but I won't change!"
Xuanxuan looked a bit helpless, but she couldn't hide her delight and pride.
Huang Tao was surprised, "Really? Is Daddy that popular?"
"Of course..."
Xuanxuan answered earnestly, "Since they found out those delicious pan-fried buns were made by you, they have been really jealous of me! They all admire you, Daddy!"
Wow!
Huang Tao's vanity swelled quietly with a smile!
They chatted and laughed all the way back to "So Delicious."
"Hey, Xuanxuan is home from school..."
"Hello Grandpa, Grandma..."
Greeting the neighborhood, Huang Tao took off her helmet and helped her off the scooter.
Xuanxuan looked toward the store entrance.
What a pity!
Her Mimi didn't rush towards her, 'meow meow', to welcome its little owner.
Instead, its body was curled up, with its tail over its front paws, resting its head on its tail, lazily basking in the sunset at the store entrance!
Uh...
What else can you do but forgive it...
She went over, squatted down, petted its head, and said joyfully, "Mimi, I'm back, we can play together again."
Mimi slowly opened its eyes, gave her a look, and then turned its face towards the wall, proudly.
Hmph~
Gone so long, where have you been having fun?
Leaving this cat star to guard the store alone, it's lonely, don't you know?
Hmph!
Without ten pan-fried buns, don't expect forgiveness!
It was upset, the kind that wouldn't be pacified easily.
What a pity!
Xuanxuan couldn't catch its little unhappy mood.
She excitedly picked it up: "Mimi, let's go inside and play!"
Mimi, being held, "meow meowed" trying to escape, but succumbed under Xuanxuan's 'clutches' and was carried inside.
Huang Tao put Xuanxuan's school bag and water bottle away and said, "Xuanxuan, wash your hands first, and Daddy will get you a marinated egg."
"Daddy, I'm not hungry!" she instinctively declined, not being fond of eggs.
However, Mimi in her arms suddenly perked up, its cat eyes shining brightly.
"Xuanxuan, eating eggs helps you grow taller... Daddy promises you'll like them..."
Perceptively aware of her thoughts, Huang Tao chuckled, put Mimi down, and took her to wash hands together.
Then he went to the kitchen and took out the marinated eggs he specially prepared for her in the morning.
He cut a small part off the bottom of each egg, shaped the cut-off part into bunny ears.
Then he carved a groove into the marinated egg and placed the bunny ears in it.
Finally, he placed diced carrots on the egg to make the bunny eyes.
In no time, cute little bunny marinated eggs were on the plate.
The aroma drifted...
The little girl sniffed with her dainty nose, her eyes lighting up upon seeing the adorable bunny marinated eggs.
"Wow!"
She exclaimed in admiration, her mouth opening so wide it could fit a big egg inside, but elegantly covering it with her chubby little hand.
As expected.
Daughter happy, naturally meant Huang Tao was happy too!
He tilted his chin up slightly: "Go ahead and eat..."
But Xuanxuan hesitated as she held the chopsticks.
Her dainty nose sniffed the bunny marinated eggs, looking longingly at them yet reluctant to eat them.
She tilted her head up, her face full of reluctance: "Daddy, they're so cute! Xuanxuan can't bear to eat them..."
"Go on, after you eat, Daddy will make you more, every day if you want."
"Really?" Xuanxuan's eyes sparkled.
"Really!"
Xuanxuan happily picked up a bunny marinated egg with her chopsticks, took a bite, and stars sparkled in her eyes.
So delicious!
The egg was so fragrant and flavorful!
"Meow~"
When Mimi had climbed onto a chair was unknown, gazing at Xuanxuan.
"Mimi, do you want to eat too?"
Mimi seemed to respond to her with a "meow."
"Then do a backflip for me, and I'll give you a bunny marinated egg." Xuanxuan smiled widely.
Mimi: "..."
"Won't flip? If you don't, I'll eat them all~" Xuanxuan remembered Daddy's tactic, she picked another egg with her chopsticks, threatening.
"Meow!"
Mimi looked aggrieved, extended its little leg, and did a backflip.
Such a charming figure, such agile moves, got Xuanxuan applauding and cheering: "Mimi, you're amazing..."
Seeing Xuanxuan thrilled, she kept her promise, giving it a marinated egg.
Mimi sniffed, then happily munched it down.
All its grievances vanished with the first bite of the marinated egg.
Meanwhile.
More old customers started lining up at the shop.
Including Ling!
She had taken half an hour off work to be there early.
This time wasn't because she was craving.
It was for her daughter, Lin Yuru, who's in high school.
Lin Yuru's exam scores weren't good lately, making her upset, unable to concentrate on reading or practice tests.
Knowing her daughter was down, Ling wanted to make something nice to perk her up.
Her daughter had mentioned wanting fried chicken and burgers.
But Ling thought those were too unhealthy.
Considering the freshness and taste of Boss Huang's food, plus hearing of a new item at "So Delicious."
She decided on balance,
to come to "So Delicious" and pack some delicacies.
And take them to her daughter.
