Jiang Tiantian saw that several people had come one after another. She had just talked a little at the beginning when another one came. She started over from the beginning again, and after a while another one came.

I simply said to the sister-in-law who seemed the most active, "Sister Qingfang, could you please ask other families who want to learn it and invite them all over. I will lead everyone to practice it this afternoon."

"Oh, that's a good idea. I'll go right away." Sister Qingfang responded readily and walked out quickly.

Jiang Tiantian asked several sisters-in-law present to help take out all the tools in the kitchen and place them in the yard.

Everything was ready, and more than a dozen people came.

Fortunately, Jiang Tiantian was prepared and prepared a lot of ingredients, including flour, eggs, milk powder, cocoa powder, sugar, various dried nuts and preserved fruits, and some fresh flower honey wine...

"Oh, Tiantian, no wonder the cookies you made are so delicious. Just look at these ingredients, it's not easy to imagine them not being delicious."

A grandmother whose hair was combed very neatly and whose clothes, although simple, looked very clean and elegant, and whose hair was a little gray, said this.

Other aunts and sisters-in-law also echoed.

"That's true. I was wondering why I usually cook for my son, but today he refused to let me cook, saying that my cooking was not tasty. You say, he must have eaten good food and looked down on his mother's poor cooking skills."

Said a sister-in-law who is usually hot-tempered but cheerful and lively.

"That's right. Look, Tiantian just moved in and conquered all the children in our alley. Do you know what my five-year-old son said to me today?"

"Oh, what did he say?" Someone next to him laughed and joined in the joke.

The chubby sister-in-law pointed at Jiang Tiantian and said, "My silly son said he likes Sister Tiantian because she is pretty and can cook delicious food. He will definitely ask her to be his wife when he grows up."

"I almost died of laughter after hearing that. I pulled him in front of the mirror and asked him to look at himself in the mirror to see how he could compare to Brother Jiuzhang. And he still wanted to get a wife? He dreams faster."

"As a result, my fat boy cried right on the spot after I said that. He said he didn't want me as his mother anymore and wanted Tiantian to be his mother. He is still hiding in the house crying sadly."

"Qingfang came to call me, and I thought, well, I'll learn from Tiantian and go back to make it for him. I'll see if I can restore some of my dignity as an old mother."

All the women in the yard were so amused by her that they couldn't stop laughing.

While Jiang Tiantian was instructing everyone on the operating procedures, she also occasionally brought up some topics that everyone could participate in.

For an entire afternoon, laughter and joy never stopped in this small courtyard.

Li Zhengshao, who was working in the yard, and several of his men were all having fun while working.

Yesterday they thought that the hostess of this house must be difficult to get along with because she was too beautiful, seemed distant, and was so young.

But today, I realized that they are not difficult to get along with at all; they are extremely easy to get along with.

You see, he's only been here for two days, but he's already become friends with everyone in this alley.

They all have to praise this social method as amazing.

…

When Jiuzhang came back from afternoon tea, the sisters-in-law and aunts from each family were carrying their finished products and went back happily.

Jiang Tiantian didn't lack the money and was generous, so she let them take away everything they had made.

She also distributed some of the extra food to everyone in Li Zhengshao's construction team, asking them to take it home and let their families try it.

Nowadays, an oven is still a precious gadget that not everyone owns, especially the big oven in Jiang Tiantian's house. She simply lied and said she bought it from abroad.

Seeing many people's regretful expressions, she simply organized a dim sum party with everyone. From then on, every weekend, everyone would take an afternoon off, bring their own ingredients, and come to her house to get together.

On the one hand, everyone can borrow Jiang Tiantian’s oven to bake some snacks to satisfy the children at home.

On the other hand, everyone is looking for an opportunity to get together to chat, exchange experiences, and share new gossip.

This proposal was quickly recognized by everyone.

In fact, people on this street usually get along well with each other. If I could have a chance to free myself from taking care of children and doing housework on weekends and chat with my sisters, I would be more than happy.

Early the next morning.

As soon as A Ku got off the train, he went straight to the courtyard of Jiang Tiantian's house.

For this purpose, Cha Jiuzhang took a special leave to accompany Jiang Tiantian and wait for him.

He originally said that he would go to the train station to pick up A Ku, but A Ku had made it clear on the phone the night before that he could find the way by himself and didn't need anyone to pick him up.

Jiang Tiantian opened the door and saw A Ku, who was exhausted and had not slept for a whole day and night. His eyes were already red and she felt a little distressed.

"Eat breakfast first, then take a shower and sleep for a while. When you're well rested, I'll take you to see him."

A Ku nodded silently without objecting to Jiang Tiantian's arrangement.

To be honest, when he arrived in Beijing and stepped out of the train station, he was actually a little nervous.

He was afraid that more than ten years had passed and the old man had actually forgotten him long ago.

Perhaps, in the old man's life, he was just an inconspicuous passer-by, or more likely just a little gadget to pass the time.

He was afraid that if he suddenly appeared in front of the old man, everything would be completely different and no longer what he had imagined.

Cha Jiuzhang patted Ah Ku's shoulder and said earnestly, "Ah Ku, many things may not be what you thought at the beginning, but you have to be clear about whether the other person is sincere to you. You have a scale in your heart, right?"

When Ah Ku heard this and looked at the expressions of Jiang Tiantian and Cha Jiuzhang, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

But he didn't show it. Instead, he ate breakfast in silence and went to take a quick shower.

When he came out, there was no longer any complicated expression on his face.

"I can't sleep, just take me to see him."

No matter what bad things I have to face, what Cha Jiuzhang said just now is right. Was the old man sincere to me at the beginning?

He could feel it.

The old man left in a hurry that year. Something must have happened and he had to deal with it.

Before leaving, the old man left him some money and said that he would come back to see him if he had the chance.

But he kept waiting and waiting for more than ten years, but he never showed up.

Just like the figure of the woman who left resolutely at the beginning, they only left him with the back figure of her leaving in a hurry.
