At exactly ten in the morning.

On the main stage of the food festival, as the beautiful music gradually began, it signaled that the closing ceremony of this year's food festival was about to commence.

This also attracted many food lovers to follow the sound and flock towards the main stage.

Heading over to take a look.

The hosts, Ma Yong and Liu Qianqian, after a day's absence, once again appeared on this stage in full regalia.

Liu Qianqian was wearing a white bodycon dress, fully showcasing her femininity and graceful figure, and the unique mermaid design made her look as captivating as a fairy on stage.

She was truly stunning!

She walked on stage gracefully in white high heels, a charming smile on her lips. Addressing the audience below, she elegantly said, "Time truly flies, in the blink of an eye, it is already time for the closing of the Wenling Food Festival."

Wearing a tailcoat suit, Ma Yong walked on stage from the other side, smiling as he continued:

"Indeed! It's truly hard to say goodbye, but aside from the closing ceremony today, there's also a very, very important moment, and that is the selection of the TOP10 best restaurants in the Wenling Food Festival."

The two walked slowly to the center of the stage, exchanging a smile with each other.

"That's right, today is the final for the last TOP10 competition."

Liu Qianqian turned around, smiling charmingly, and looked at the audience below, saying: "Among the 88 exhibitors, only 10 can ultimately receive the title of TOP10 restaurant, and the top three will each receive a special bronze, silver, and gold trophy set up for this food festival."

Ma Yong smiled as he spoke: "Out of the 88 businesses, only 10 can get the TOP10 restaurant title, and only one can win the gold award. It's so hard, really hard, really hard! We don't know how our expert judges will give their final scores."

"This difficult decision can only be left to our expert judges and all the foodie audience friends present."

Liu Qianqian looked at the spectators below the stage, her lips curving into another charming smile: "Dear audience friends, please don't forget to participate in the selection of the TOP10 best restaurants in Wenling City. During the food festival, after you buy food, you will have a voting right in your hand. You can use your lucky little finger to cast your precious vote for your favorite food booth."

Ma Yong nodded in agreement: "Yes, the vote in your hand is especially important, important enough to determine whether the businesses can ultimately get the TOP10 title, and even more to determine whether they can get the gold award. The voting deadline is until 12 noon. If you have a favorite food booth, make sure to cast your precious vote for them, especially for those audience friends who still have voting rights in your hands, hurry up and act now..."

Liu Qianqian smiled slightly: "Of course, the organizing committee will select ten lucky foodies from those participating in this program's interactive voting and give them a chance to receive fine little gifts."

Huang Tao could vaguely hear the voices of the hosts drifting from the stage at his booth.

However, he couldn't hear it very clearly, catching only bits and pieces.

After all, he still needed to be busy preparing food for the customers.

He couldn't afford to be too distracted!

The customers queuing in front of the booth were too bored from waiting and pricked up their ears to listen attentively.

When hearing the hosts mentioning the voting, the new customers remembered this important aspect and resolved to cast their precious vote for their favorite food booth later.

Some returning customers couldn't remember if they had already voted, so they opened Alipay to check their voting rights.

Those who had forgotten quickly cast their precious vote for the So Delicious booth.

Those who had already voted felt at ease and continued waiting for Huang Tao's cuisine.

...

At Huang Tao's home.

Song Cailian and Huang Yide, after sending Xuanxuan to kindergarten this morning, did not return to the shop but went directly back to their son's home.

With Xu Hao and others at the store, the couple felt reassured.

Besides, they didn't know how to handle the work at the shop anyway.

Helping out might only backfire.

So.

They returned home to do the laundry for Huang Tao and Xuanxuan, washed the bedding, and tidied up the rooms.

Almost all chores were done by now.

With leisure time on their hands, the couple suddenly felt a bit empty inside.

Their hearts couldn't help but worry about their son and little granddaughter.

Thinking that since it's Monday, many people would be going to work, the foot traffic at the food festival would surely reduce significantly.

Song Cailian worriedly said, "I wonder how things are on Tao's side? How's business today?"

Though Huang Yide also felt some concern, he nonetheless chuckled and said, "Ah! You're just overthinking things because you have nothing to do. With our son's skills, there's nothing to worry about! Business will surely be good."

"It's Monday, after all, people traffic won't be as much as the last few days, and besides, isn't today the selection for the Top 10 Restaurants or something? I wonder if our son can make it."

"Although it's Monday, the foot traffic won't be too low. Many residents near the food festival are our son's loyal customers. They only recognize our son's So Delicious booth when they go to the food festival."

During these past two days, even though Huang Yide hadn't had much to do, he had clearly observed the foot traffic and returning customers.

Even if their son's booth was bustling with people and had many returning customers.

As for the selection.

From his observations over the past two days, many customers had cast their votes for his son's So Delicious booth.

In theory, getting into the top three shouldn't be a problem.

As for the gold award.

He didn't dare to be too assertive.

"If we win, it will be icing on the cake, if not, it doesn't matter! Let's not pressure our son."

He smiled and said: "If you're really that worried, why not call our son and ask?"

"No, no, our son must be busy right now! Calling him would only distract him."

Song Cailian figured that after school, they could go to the food festival to see their son, so she gave up on the idea of calling, silently hoping everything would go smoothly.

Now, she wasn't worried about Huang Tao, but started to worry about Xuanxuan instead.

"Xuanxuan has been in kindergarten for two hours, she must have had her snack by now."

"At this time, she should have!"

"I wonder if this snack suits our Xuanxuan's taste."

"Eating with friends, she must be enjoying it too!"

...

Golden Sun Kindergarten.

Class (4) for kids.

After eating snacks and washing their hands, Xuanxuan and the kids returned to the classroom guided by Teacher Ye.

"Alright, little ones, go back to your seats. In a moment, Teacher Ye will tell you a story about 'Grandpa's Hat', okay?"

"Okay!"

In unison, the kids responded, then went back to their seats and sat neatly.

Waiting for Teacher Ye to tell the story.

"Winter came, the north wind blew coldly, the weather was very cold. A little bird was very pitiful, shivering coldly on a branch. An old man walked over, saw the little bird, and thought: 'This little bird is so pitiful, in such cold weather, it will surely freeze to death.' The little bird said to the old man: 'The wind blew our nest away, we have no home.' The old man said: 'Don't worry, I'll help you figure something out.' The old man used his hat to make a nest for the little bird, and the hat was warm…"

Ye Wen's voice was pleasant to listen to.

The kids were all engrossed.

Of course.

Except for Xuanxuan.

She was thinking about her dad.

Thinking whether dad was drinking enough water?

Thinking whether dad was tired?

As she kept thinking, her mind began to wander…
