Chapter 916: Chapter 620: Three Ordinary Minds Make One Wise Man (Part 3)

Kill two birds with one stone!

Then, he sent the preliminary menu he had drafted to the kitchen group, inviting Qian Guoxiang and the others to help brainstorm, hoping to further perfect the menu.

As soon as the message was sent, the group erupted:

"How about adding a shrimp and mushroom soup? I’ve noticed there’s usually a mushroom soup at banquets, and whenever we make the shrimp and mushroom soup, both teachers and kids love it."

"But isn’t it usually old duck and mushroom soup at banquets? It’s rare to see shrimp and mushroom soup! Besides, the menu already has radish and beef stew, so adding a shrimp and mushroom soup might be too much in terms of soups..."

"Shrimp and mushroom soup is actually quite nutritious, and it tastes even more delicious than the old duck mushroom soup! Last time at the New Year feast, there was an old duck mushroom soup, an entire duck in a clay pot, and you needed a group to pull it apart, which wasn’t very convenient."

"I think we could add steamed pork with rice flour. This dish has a soft and glutinous texture, suitable for all ages, and will surely be a hit."

With everyone’s enthusiastic discussion and active suggestions, Huang Jun quickly compiled a more refined menu that better suited the general taste.

After handling everything, he noticed it was getting late and led Qingqing and Weiwei to the bathroom to start their bedtime cleaning routine.

After the two little ones finished washing up, they coyly clung to him, insisting on sleeping with him. He had no choice but to carry their blankets and bring them to his bedroom.

Once in the master bedroom...

Huang Jun spread their blankets on the bed.

The two little ones, seeing this, excitedly dove into their little beds but sat at the head with picture books in hand, reading with keen interest.

Yes, that’s right, neither of them had the slightest drowsiness.

Not sleepy at all!

"Phew..."

Huang Jun flopped onto the bed, burying his head in the pillow, and let out a long breath.

"Daddy~"

Qingqing saw her dad like this, put down her picture book, and softly called out.

"Hmm?"

Huang Jun lazily responded: "What’s up? Qingqing, if you’re sleepy, then..."

Before he could finish the sentence "Hurry and sleep," Qingqing continued to ask, "Daddy, are you very tired?"

"Daddy, are you tired?"

Weiwei, hearing Qingqing’s words, immediately lifted her head from her book, turned her face, and looked at him with concern.

"Hmm, a little bit tired."

Huang Jun answered in a muffled voice.

"Then let me give you a back massage..."

Qingqing said, and promptly climbed onto Huang Jun’s back, with her little fists gently and rhythmically tapping on his shoulders and back.

"Daddy, I’ll help you with a back massage too."

Seeing Qingqing’s actions, Weiwei quickly imitated her, climbing to Huang Jun’s other side to join Qingqing in the effort, using her tiny hands to gently tap and asking as she did: "Is this comfortable, daddy?"

Giving dad a back massage was a "new skill" Qingqing and Weiwei had just learned recently.

Although their little hands were weak, to Huang Jun, this love from his children was priceless, making him feel unprecedented comfort: "Really comfortable..."

As the rhythmic tapping continued, Huang Jun gradually relaxed, feeling joy and peace flowing through him, and he slowly drifted into slumber.

At first, Qingqing and Weiwei didn’t notice their dad’s state; they continued their tapping until their little hands grew a bit sore. Then they suddenly noticed their dad’s breathing had become deep and regular, accompanied by light snoring.

Huh?

What happened?

Has dad fallen asleep?

Qingqing and Weiwei scratched their heads, exchanging puzzled glances.

Then they peeked over to check.

Lo and behold, dad was indeed asleep!

"Sister, dad’s fallen asleep, what should we do?"

Weiwei blinked her big sparkling eyes, looking bewildered as she asked Qingqing, "Should we wake dad up?"

"Shh—"

Qingqing put a finger to her lips, signaling Weiwei to be quiet: "Don’t wake dad up."

Weiwei asked in confusion: "Then what should we do next?"

"Hmm?"

Qingqing paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Got it."

Saying so, she pulled the blanket next to her over with effort.

Seeing this, Weiwei immediately understood Qingqing’s intention and quickly ran over to help, and together they covered Huang Jun with the blanket.

In the past, it was always dad who carefully covered them with blankets, but this time, it was their turn to cover dad.

Hehe~

Now they could take care of dad too...

It felt wonderful!

Realizing this, a sense of pride and joy welled up in their hearts.

Then, Qingqing and Weiwei lay down beside Huang Jun, each under their own blanket.

"Goodnight, daddy, and goodnight to you too, little sister!"

"Goodnight, sister, and goodnight, daddy!"

In the warmth of their goodnight exchanges, they slowly closed their eyes.

Of course.

They both tacitly left the lights off.

The reason for this was that if they couldn’t sleep and opened their eyes again, they would immediately see dad beside them.

That way, they would feel at peace.

At this moment, the night outside the window was like a tranquil painting, utterly silent, accompanied only by peacefulness.
