At Starry Sky Kindergarten, several children who were part of the first batch of enrollments are now starting first grade this year.
Seeing how popular Starry Sky Kindergarten has become, they're somewhat reluctant to leave.
Now, the conditions for entry into Starry Sky are extremely strict, with only one in a hundred being accepted.
The luxury class, costing 20,000 yuan per child, was instantly filled.
Being able to attend Starry Sky Kindergarten is something others look upon with envy.
After all, this kind of kindergarten isn't one you can just attend if you want to.
They've already enjoyed several months of being the envy of others.
Now that the children are facing school, parents don't want to hold them back.
But they're also reluctant to leave Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Parents are in a dilemma, and they discussed it with the teachers.
The teacher said, "Children should follow the normal course. They should do what they need to do!"
So, with regret, they took their children to enroll in primary school.
About forty to fifty of the earliest students have left.
The first batch of children had a small class.
Now that so many have left, they've started combining classes, and the extra teachers and assistants are going to help at the second branch of Starry Sky.
The most distracted person on the first day of primary school was undoubtedly Qi Zhong.
Both of his beloved apprentices had started school.
On the first day, he seemed as if he'd lost his soul.
By noon, he couldn't resist wanting to send a message to his apprentices' smartwatches, but he was afraid of disturbing them.
So he waited anxiously, every minute and second feeling like torture. Even Lin Rui couldn't help but tease him when she saw him.
"What's wrong? You wish you could go to school instead of the kids? That's not possible."
Qi Zhong snorted, refusing to answer.
But his heart was full of anxiety.
Finally, the children came back from school. He had specially taken time off to pick up the little ones.
Bright Virtue Primary School is very close to the old district of Starry Sky Kindergarten. He waited at the school early.
When everyone came out, he indeed saw Mu Zhixing, Yu Fei, and Shi Xiaohu wearing their primary school uniforms.
"How was it? Did anyone bully you at school?" School bullying is so frightening nowadays.
Mu Zhixing said, "No, we're all doing well here!"
They had just started school, and all their peers were first-grade children. They hadn't gotten familiar with each other yet.
School wasn't as scary as she had imagined.
Moreover, they had already learned the things they were studying now back at Starry Sky Kindergarten.
They just said that the food wasn't as good as Liu Chef's cooking.
Qi Zhong couldn't help but laugh, "Of course, not many people can cook as well as Liu Chef."
When they returned, Liu Chef had saved some food for the children.
When Liu Chef heard that they hadn't eaten well at lunch, he immediately cooked another dish for them.
The children ate with gusto.
These were all children raised at Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Liu Chef said with a smile, "Eat more!" Watching the children devour the food, he felt satisfied.
After they finished eating, Qi Zhong supervised them as they did their homework.
After finishing, he took the children to the art studio.
His mind had been distracted all day.
Now that he saw his two little apprentices return happily, he finally had the peace of mind to paint.
So he began to guide them.
Though he usually acted like a kind father, never saying a harsh word, he was really strict when it came to painting.
If a painting wasn't good, they had to do another one.
He was very strict about every detail.
But the little apprentices were already used to it.
So they started painting.
It goes without saying that these two little apprentices were exceptionally talented.
Soon, Qi Zhong's face showed some satisfaction.
Shi Xiaohu was painting alongside them.
But his paintings were just a mess.
The little one couldn't write much yet.
He used painting to express his experiences of the day.
The little guy was painting enthusiastically, although it wasn't clear what he was painting.
The entire Starry Sky had already closed for the day.
But there was still a light on in the kitchen. Shen Wei was about to leave after work.
She turned back when she saw the light in the kitchen and immediately returned.
She saw Liu Chef and Chef Chen chatting there.
Shen Wei went over.
The chefs immediately stood up.
Shen Wei said, "Why aren't you going home? Should I drive you back?" The shuttle bus must have already left.
Liu Chef, who couldn't hide anything, immediately said, "Oh, no need. I specially wanted to come here when no one was around to catch my breath. I'm a bit nervous!"
"What?" Shen Wei didn't understand.
Liu Chef said, "Tomorrow, Starry Sky Restaurant is opening."
This time, it's Jiang Xun's show.
He knew that Jiang Xun was very capable.
He could master about 80-90% of his cooking.
Very impressive.
He was very talented among young chefs.
Even he wasn't as good as Jiang Xun when he was young.
But he didn't know if this young head chef could handle it well.
Shen Wei said, "If you're so worried, why don't you go there tomorrow?"
"Can I?"
"Of course." Shen Wei also said, "We've already arranged with the slaughterhouse to kill three pigs!"
Their pigs, after a year of feeding, were all around 800 jin (400 kg) big pigs.
The meat was very fresh and delicious.
These were specially reserved for the restaurant's opening.
Hearing about killing pigs for the restaurant opening, Liu Chef immediately got excited: "Then I'll go to the restaurant tomorrow!"
Then he said to Chef Chen, "You come too!"
Although Chef Chen was usually quiet, he was quite responsible. He wanted to go but was worried about Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Shen Wei said, "It's fine, we have other chefs here!"
The other chefs had been working with Liu Chef for a while now, and they all cooked for each other usually, so it wouldn't be a problem if they left for a few days.
Liu Chef hadn't expected that the issue he'd been worrying about all day would be resolved so easily by Shen Wei. He was immediately overjoyed: "Then I'll definitely go early tomorrow."
