Chapter 732: Chapter 553: This Is the Best Way He Can Show His Gratitude (3)

After speaking, Uncle Jiang led Qingqing and Weiwei, stepping ahead to show the way.

Huang Jun picked up the bag of desserts and followed closely behind.

Uncle Jiang caught a glimpse of the gift in his hand and pretended to scold him: "Oh, Xiaojun, didn’t I tell you long ago? Just come by for a chat, there’s no need to spend money on anything. Why don’t you listen, bringing so many nice things over again? You should take these back and see if you can return them..."

"Uncle Jiang, this time it’s different. These aren’t bought; I made these desserts myself, one of a kind, can’t be returned..."

Huang Jun replied with a cheerful smile, then put on a face of mock difficulty: "If you really don’t want to accept them, then I can only reluctantly take them back and eat them myself."

Saying that, he pretended to turn around, acting like he was going to put the desserts back in the car.

"Oh, you made them..."

Uncle Jiang paused for a moment, then a smile blossomed on his face mingling surprise and unwillingness, and he quickly reached out and took the desserts: "Since you made them yourself, I must have a good taste..."

You little rascal~

I knew you couldn’t resist...

Huang Jun smiled smugly.

Uncle Jiang carried the desserts energetically to the doorstep, and as soon as he entered, he called out, "Wife, come quickly, Xiaojun and his family are here."

"Oh, Xiaojun’s family is here... come in quickly, sit down."

Hearing this, Granny Jiang joyfully hurried out of the living room, lovingly took Qingqing and Weiwei’s little hands, and warmly led Huang Jun into the living room.

Soon after, her gaze inadvertently fell on the desserts in Uncle Jiang’s hand, and she understood a bit, saying somewhat reproachfully, "This must be bought by Xiaojun, right? How come you, old man, didn’t stop him and instead brought it up here..."

"Haha, these are desserts Xiaojun made himself; I couldn’t bear to let him take them back." Uncle Jiang responded with a laugh.

And Granny Jiang, who had been craving Huang Jun’s handiwork for a long time, naturally couldn’t bear to see Huang Jun take them back after hearing the gifts were homemade, and graciously accepted each token of affection.

"Xiaojun, come, have a cup of hot tea to warm up."

Granny Jiang brewed tea for Huang Jun, offered snacks to Qingqing and Weiwei, then held Qingqing and Weiwei’s small hands, her eyes full of love and affection: "Oh, look at our Qingqing and Weiwei, they’re growing prettier by the day."

Compared to before, Qingqing and Weiwei’s cheeks now seemed rounder and rosier, becoming increasingly endearing.

Qingqing and Weiwei nestled close to Granny Jiang on either side, feeling beautiful themselves, and excitedly shared the news of winning the "Good Kid" award, making Granny Jiang and Uncle Jiang smile from ear to ear, continually praising them as amazing.

Uncle Jiang then looked toward Huang Jun and asked with concern: "Xiaojun, is work going well recently? Are you busy?"

Huang Jun replied with a smile: "This semester has been relatively easy, but the kindergarten is expanding enrollment next year, so I figure it will get a bit busier then."

Granny Jiang couldn’t help but worry about Huang Jun’s burden: "In that case, your workload will greatly increase, but is there corresponding pay increase?"

Huang Jun shook his head but with a satisfied smile said: "The pay hasn’t changed, but the principal gave me 20% of the shares in the kindergarten, and Qingqing and Weiwei’s tuition, meals, and other fees are all waived. So, in a way, it’s like another form of a raise..."

Granny Jiang and Uncle Jiang were happy for him.

Granny Jiang sighed: "That principal really has an eye for talent. Xiaojun, you must continue to work hard and not let her down."

Uncle Jiang agreed: "Your Granny Jiang and I have always believed in you. As long as you work diligently and earnestly, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Seeing you succeed like this makes us very gratified."

Listening to the elder’s ramblings, Huang Jun felt nothing but warmth and gratitude.

Meeting such kind elders was a stroke of luck for him and his kids.

He nodded with a smile: "Don’t worry, I’ll give it my all. Also, I want to give Qingqing and Weiwei a better future, allowing them to grow up in a better environment."

"Indeed!"

Granny Jiang nodded, paused, then continued: "Now that your work has settled, if you can find someone who truly cares for Qingqing and Weiwei and live peacefully together, that would be perfect."

Huang Jun glanced at Qingqing and Weiwei, munching on chocolate, and a wry smile appeared: "This, it’s all about fate..."

Finally, he changed the subject: "Uncle Jiang, Granny Jiang, these are Sachima, Snow Flower Cake, and Nougat I made myself, try them and see if they suit your taste..."

"Since you made them, the taste must be great, must suit our taste..."

Uncle Jiang and Granny Jiang had been eager to try, but had been too busy serving them, and only now, hearing Huang Jun’s words, they immediately opened the packaging and invited the family to share.

After tasting them one by one, Uncle Jiang and Granny Jiang nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm, the taste is really impeccable! Much better than any of those Sachima, Snow Flower Cake, Nougat you buy in the store. Xiaojun, your skills get better and better."

Huang Jun said with a smile: "As long as you like them, next time I’ll try making some other flavors to give you a change."

"That would be great..."

Uncle Jiang and Granny Jiang agreed, but immediately showed some worry, fearing Huang Jun might overwork himself: "But Xiaojun, if work gets busy, don’t go out of your way to do it, and don’t make too much at once, so you don’t tire yourself out."

After chatting for a while, Uncle Jiang looked out the window and noticed the sky had gradually darkened, turned to Granny Jiang: "Wife, go to the market and buy some fresh vegetables, we must properly treat Xiaojun’s family today."

Then he enthusiastically invited Huang Jun’s family to stay for dinner.

Huang Jun was not planning to stay for dinner as he didn’t want to add extra burden on them, so he politely declined the kind offer: "Uncle Jiang, Granny Jiang, don’t busy yourselves. We have other plans today, so we’ll skip the dinner. Next time, I’ll bring Qingqing and Weiwei again for a lively meal together."

Seeing Huang Jun’s insistence, Uncle Jiang and Granny Jiang didn’t push further, only nodded in agreement.

At departure, Granny Jiang held Qingqing and Weiwei’s little hands tightly, her eyes full of reluctance: "Qingqing, Weiwei, make sure to come and play when you have time, Grandpa and Grandma will always be waiting for you."

"Okay, Grandma Jiang, we know!"

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded obediently.

Huang Jun made a solemn promise to the elders: "Granny Jiang, don’t worry, whenever we have time, we’ll come visit you with the kids."

This was the best way he could express his gratitude.
