Free Web NovelChapter 528: Chapter 482: Truly a New Generation Replaces the Old, Only Seeing New Faces Smile While the Old Ones Weep
Of course.
In this lively scene, there are also a few different hues.
Some children, experiencing the deafening "pop" for the first time, couldn’t help but be startled by the loud sound and even teared up, crying in fear.
Take a closer look...
These kids are mostly the "little warriors" who previously considered themselves brave and didn’t heed the advice from the teachers Huang Jun and Yang Yuxi to cover their ears.
Seeing this, Huang Jun quickly and gently comforted the frightened kids, "It’s okay, children. This is the unique sound of the popcorn machine, telling us that delicious popcorn is ready! But next time, remember to protect your ears! Now come to Uncle to get some freshly popped popcorn!"
As he spoke, he took a handful of warm, golden popcorn and offered it to the children, hoping this sweet treat would be like warm sunshine, dispelling all the gloom and fear in their hearts.
"Thank you, Qingqing Baba (Chef Uncle)!"
The children’s eyes were fixed on the tempting popcorn, swallowing unconsciously, as bright smiles lit up their faces, eagerly reaching out their small hands to grab this unexpected treat.
Yang Yuxi chimed in appropriately, "Children, after eating popcorn, shall we go play some games together?"
Unfortunately...
The children’s minds were completely occupied by the food in front of them, only vaguely nodding to Yang Yuxi’s suggestion, with some too focused to even nod!
Yang Yuxi, Xie Jianing and the other teachers present: "..."
These little ones really forget their teachers when there’s good food!
Huang Jun saw this and laughed to smooth things over, "Kids, before school ends, Uncle will prepare even more delicious prizes for everyone. So after eating the popcorn, remember to join the teachers and go play some games, alright?"
"Okay!"
This time, the children replied in unison with enthusiasm, giving Huang Jun a big face of pride.
Yang Yuxi and the others cast grateful glances at Huang Jun, softly laughing, "It really is Qingqing Baba who knows how to handle them; your words are more effective than anything!"
Huang Jun just smiled humbly, then, along with Yang Yuxi and the other teachers, including Liu Suyu, began distributing the freshly popped, steaming popcorn to the children present.
Finally, he didn’t forget to personally grab two handfuls, kindly handing them to his two excited daughters and goddaughter Liu Ruihan: "Qingqing, Weiwei, Ruihan, come and grab some..."
"Thank you, Baba (Godfather)!"
The three little ones replied in unison, their faces beaming with pure joy.
Huang Jun affectionately said, "Eat up! There’s more over here with Daddy!"
"Yeah!"
The three little ones answered brightly, soon joining the eagerly awaiting children around them, immersed in the wonderful enjoyment brought by the popcorn.
"Crunch~"
"Crunch~"
"..."
For a moment, the corner of the playground was filled with continuous, varying sounds of chewing popcorn.
The tasty and crispy texture, sweet flavor, led the kids to eat one piece after another, unable to stop...
Yuanyuan, while eating, mumbled in admiration, "This popcorn is so good, even better than the ones my mom bought at the mall! It’s the best popcorn I’ve ever had!"
Liu Ruihan also happily agreed, "Yeah, yeah, it’s both fragrant and crispy, just delicious!"
Listening to their friends’ praises, Qingqing and Weiwei felt delighted inside. freewёbnoνel.com
While eating, Qingqing didn’t forget to share with Huang Jun beside her. She picked up a piece of popcorn and offered it to Huang Jun’s mouth, sweetly saying, "Daddy, here, eat some..."
Seeing this, Weiwei quickly followed suit, handing her own popcorn to Huang Jun with a clear, childish voice, "Daddy, eat..."
"Alright! Daddy will eat!"
Huang Jun smiled happily, opening his mouth to swallow the popcorn.
Hmm!
It was simply heartwarming...
Not wanting to be outshined, Liu Ruihan excitedly shouted, "Godfather, there’s mine too!"
If Liu Shiwei happened to witness this scene, he would definitely feel a bit envious and jealous. After all, as a father, he rarely gets to experience such warm and close moments throughout the year.
Furthermore, every time he has to ask for it actively before Hanhan would feed him.
Unlike now, Hanhan was voluntarily feeding Huang Jun.
Sigh!
Truly, as new replaces old, you only see the newcomers laugh and not the old ones cry...
"Thank you, Hanhan!"
Huang Jun responded gently, opening his mouth once more to accept Liu Ruihan’s feeding.
Watching the kids eat heartily, he was quite happy inside, but also realized the popcorn was diminishing rapidly, evidently not enough to satisfy this group of little gourmets.
Gotcha!
It seems like the raw ingredient for making rice popcorn candy—puffed rice—might need to wait a while longer...
The immediate task is to let these little foodies enjoy themselves.
Thus, he was once more caught up in the busy process of popping popcorn.
His hands flew skillfully.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"..."
As the crisp, delightful popping sounds echoed one after another, declaring one batch of popcorn after another freshly made, the air gradually filled with a richer, sweet aroma.
The children gradually got used to this peculiar sound, no longer covering their ears in fright but instead, whenever they heard the "bang" sound, they became excited, bursting into cheers.
Faced with these eager supporters, Huang Jun naturally rewarded them with popcorn.
So much so that the kids were having a blast eating popcorn, momentarily forgetting their other tasks...
The class teachers, seeing the children had eaten enough, clapped with a smile to indicate, "Alright children, now we should go play some games..."
Aww...
We’re leaving already...
They haven’t had enough yet!
The children’s faces showed a hint of reluctance, their eyes full of longing for the popcorn, staring pitifully at their own class’s teachers, hoping to stay a bit more to extend their delicious moment.
The class teachers: "..."
Ah!
They promised to go play games once they were satisfied, but now turning back on their word?
What about the basic trust between people?
Huang Jun hadn’t expected the kids to love popcorn so much, even refusing to leave because of it. He stepped in to support again, "Kids, listen to your teachers and go play some games first to help digest, because afterwards there’ll be delicious glutinous rice candy waiting for you! Otherwise, little tummies won’t have enough room for all the goodies."
"Wow, there’s glutinous rice candy, yay..."
When they heard the words "glutinous rice candy," the children’s eyes instantly lit up with new excitement, eagerly nodding in agreement, "Alright, Qingqing Baba (Chef Uncle), we’ll queue up right now..."
But before they lined up properly, they didn’t forget to sneak a few more handfuls of popcorn to stash in their hands.
Watching the children looking back with each step, Huang Jun felt both amused and warm, he gently shook his head and laughed, "These little kids, aren’t giving up, still thinking about the popcorn..."
"It’s normal for the kids to be thinking about it... it’s because the popcorn you made is so tasty!"
Liu Suyu chuckled softly beside him, agreeing, "It’s quite normal for children. After all, the popcorn you made is too delicious. Compared to the overly sweet ones in cinemas, your popcorn is more like a gift from nature, sweet but not cloying, making people savor the taste endlessly."
As she spoke, she couldn’t resist putting a few more pieces into her mouth, her face radiating satisfaction.
Huang Jun heard this, his mouth slightly smiling, without saying much more.
After all, what she said was all true.
Seeing the ingredients for making glutinous rice candy were almost ready, he extinguished the fire below, picked up the puffed rice, full of anticipation, as he headed toward the kitchen, ready to prepare the next Chapter of sweet times for the children.
