Chapter 223 Eating Hot Pot with the Children
After a long and enjoyable play, we all felt a little tired, so we all walked to the soft green lawn nearby and sat down to rest for a while. Carl, like a well-behaved and adorable kitten, snuggled up to me gently, stretched out his chubby little hand and excitedly pointed at the white clouds in the sky. He said in a baby voice, "Teacher Sui Sui, look! That cloud looks like a super big, super attractive one!" Hearing his innocent words, I couldn't help but smile and looked up in the direction of his finger.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, like a mother's soft hand caressing my cheek, bringing a feeling of incomparable comfort and comfort. The wind carried the refreshing aroma of grass and the slightly moist fragrance of earth. This unique scent of nature instantly permeated my heart, completely enchanting me. At this moment, it seemed as if all worries and troubles gradually dissipated like smoke, leaving my world behind, and I was completely immersed in this rare atmosphere of pure joy.
Just as I was savoring this moment of peace and tranquility, the sound of melodious music suddenly drifted in from afar. The melody was like the sound of nature, melodious and captivating, possessing an indescribable magic. The children, who had been sitting around me, immediately burst into joy and cheered. They stood up, eagerly tugging at my clothes, and begged, "Teacher Sui Sui, please take us to see who is playing such a beautiful piece!" Seeing the children's expectant gazes, I naturally wouldn't refuse their small request. I happily stood up, took their hands, and walked quickly towards the sound.
As we drew closer, we finally discovered the source of the sound—a figure clad in a robe as pure as snow, gracefully seated in the center of a picturesque garden, strumming an exquisitely crafted harp with rapt attention. His slender fingers danced effortlessly across the strings, each plucking unleashing a string of captivating notes. Around him, a flock of lively and adorable animals clung quietly on the grass, some listening intently, while others leaped and pranced joyfully, seemingly captivated and mesmerized by the exquisite melody.
When the children stepped into the garden in the corner of the park, various small animals that had been hiding in the grass poked their heads out, their bright eyes curiously gazing at the little visitors, but without the slightest fear. On the contrary, these lovely creatures seemed to treat the children as long-lost friends, appearing particularly kind and friendly.
At this moment, a furry little rabbit came hopping happily from a distance. Its snow-white figure was like a jumping cotton ball, light and flexible. In the blink of an eye, this lively little rabbit jumped to my feet, and then rubbed its soft body against my trouser leg affectionately, as if to show its affection to me.
Facing such a cute little creature, I couldn't help but bend down and gently hold it in my arms. Feeling the warm body temperature of the little rabbit and its slightly trembling heartbeat, a warm current instantly surged into my heart, making my heart become extremely soft and warm.
Meanwhile, the other children sat in a circle around the person playing the beautiful music, their eyes wide open, their gazes fixed on the performer, their eyes full of longing, as if they were brought into a dreamlike world by the melodious melody.
I stood quietly by, observing these innocent children. Gazing at their pure, flawless faces, brimming with curiosity and yearning for the unknown, I couldn't help but feel deeply moved: Here, every corner is filled with beauty; every life is thriving with vitality. At this moment, I wished time could freeze at this moment, so that this tranquility, peace, and joy could never fade.
Looking at the innocent, enchanted faces of the children, absorbed in their music, I gradually calmed down. At this moment, the deal with the supplier had finally been successfully negotiated, and the tedious tasks could be put aside for now. Now, it was time to devote all my energy to my main job—to become an excellent kindergarten teacher.
As the music slowly stopped, the entire room seemed still immersed in the atmosphere created by the beautiful melody. However, a moment later, the children, as if awakened from a dream, burst into thunderous applause, unsparingly offering their most sincere and enthusiastic praise to this outstanding performer.
After the musical performance, Lotta, Lei, and I led these adorable little angels back to the hotel. By the time we arrived, everyone was ravenous, so we headed straight for the restaurant. Today, I planned to let the children try a unique delicacy: hot pot.
As soon as we entered the restaurant, a waiter greeted us with a warm smile and showed us to our seats. The children looked around curiously, their eyes quickly drawn to the steaming hot pot on the table. The pot was bubbling with red broth, emitting waves of tempting aroma.
"Wow, what is this? It looks so interesting!" Maggie asked in a baby voice.
Hearing the child's innocent question, I couldn't help but smile, and then patiently answered: "Baby, this is tomato hot pot! We can put a lot of delicious food in it to cook!" As I said, I gestured with my hands, trying to make the children understand better.
Lotta smiled and expertly ordered the dishes. His fingers nimbly pointed at the menu, and before long, one exquisite dish after another was served. A dazzling array of ingredients filled the table in an instant.
At this moment, the delicious soup base in the pot began to gurgle, steaming, and the rich aroma spread out, filling the whole room. This tempting aroma went straight into one's nostrils and made one salivate.
I quickly picked up my chopsticks and scooped up some easy-to-chew and swallow meatballs and fresh vegetables for each of the adorable children. The children stared at the delicious food in their bowls with wide eyes, filled with anticipation. Then, carefully using their little spoons, they scooped a little into their mouths. Instantly, their expressions transformed into delight, their tense faces instantly relaxing like flowers in full bloom in spring, radiant and brilliant.
"Wow, it's delicious!" The children cheered in unison, their voices clear and melodious, like the sound of silver bells. They waved their hands excitedly and kept praising the deliciousness of the food.
Lei on the side was gently taking care of the younger children around her. She carefully helped the children wipe the soup off the corners of their mouths, and at the same time joked: "Look at you greedy cats." After saying that, she couldn't help laughing.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the food, Bailey suddenly picked up a steaming hot shrimp paste, put it into her mouth impatiently, and began to devour it. But she didn't expect that the hotness of the bite made her mouth open suddenly, and her eyes widened.
"Oh no! Bailey, spit out that shrimp paste in your mouth! It's too hot!" Seeing this, I was so anxious that I quickly stood up, picked up an empty bowl, and quickly walked over to Bailey. I put the bowl to her mouth and gestured for her to spit out the scalding shrimp paste. However, Bailey kept her mouth tightly shut, shook her head frantically, and exhaled hot air continuously, as if trying to cool the food in her mouth as quickly as possible. Despite this, she still couldn't bear to spit out the delicious shrimp paste in her mouth.
Finally, after some effort, Bailey successfully swallowed the shrimp paste. She breathed a long sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on her face, and said, "Teacher Sui Sui, this shrimp paste is so delicious! I really don't want to spit it out. But it doesn't matter. I just blew air into it and cooled it down before swallowing it." After hearing Bailey's words, everyone present was stunned at first, and then burst into hearty laughter.
At that moment, the entire restaurant was awash in joyful laughter. Everyone savored this simple, pure joy, as if all the world's worries and sorrows had vanished. In this warm and harmonious atmosphere, everyone's hearts were closely connected, sharing the joy that stemmed from the little things in life.
