With Xia Liang's encouragement and support, the twins' passion for cooking continued to grow. Their skills improved day by day through constant practice, from simple steamed buns to trying to make pastries of various shapes and flavors. The two children's creativity and hands-on abilities were greatly enhanced.
One weekend afternoon, the twins decided to hold a small "pastry exhibition" at their grandmother's house. They started preparing several days in advance, designing various pastry shapes and flavors with Gu Yunxi, and even invited He Ruizhe to help.
On the day of the exhibition, the twins brought their creations to Xia Liang's home. They brought steamed buns of various shapes and sizes—some shaped like small animals, some made with colorful vegetable juice, and others with different fillings.
Xia Liang was overjoyed when she saw the children's artwork: "Wow, did you all make all of these yourselves? You're amazing, my darlings!"
Gu Yanxiao also praised the children's skills: "Look at these pastries, they are so well made. You are really talented."
The twins happily introduced their creations to Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao: "Great-Grandma, Grandpa, these are things we made ourselves. We even tried different flavors and shapes. We hope you will like them."
He Ruizhe added from the side, "Yes, great-grandmother and maternal grandfather, and my younger brother and sister are now our family's little pastry chefs."
Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao were full of praise after tasting the children's pastries. Xia Liang said, "Children, your skills are getting better and better. These pastries are not only beautiful, but also very delicious."
Gu Yanxiao also suggested, "Xia Liang, shouldn't we give the children some rewards? For example, buy them some cookbooks, or enroll them in a cooking course so they can learn more cooking skills."
Xia Liang nodded in agreement: "Good idea, we must support the children's interests and development."
The twins' "pastry showcase" not only allowed them to demonstrate their creations to their family, but also made them feel encouraged and supported by their loved ones. This experience further enhanced their love for cooking and inspired their enthusiasm for continuing to explore and learn.
As time went on, with the encouragement and support of their family, the twins continued to try new cooking techniques and recipes. Their culinary skills were recognized by their family and those around them, and they became the family's little chefs, often preparing delicious pastries for family gatherings.
The Gu and Xia families are filled with laughter and joy as their children grow and progress. The twins' culinary journey not only enriches their childhood but also brings more warmth and happiness to the entire family. For Xia Liang, seeing her grandchildren grow up happily is the greatest happiness and pride in her later years.
At kindergarten, the twins received meticulous guidance from their teachers, learning basic cooking skills and food safety knowledge. Back home, they received full support and encouragement from their elders, which further fueled their passion for cooking.
To support their children's interests, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan not only bought various cooking tutorial books and videos, but also consulted their family's professional pastry chef so that the professionals could provide the children with more detailed guidance.
Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao often invite the children to their maternal grandmother's house, allowing them to practice what they've learned in a larger kitchen space. Xia Liang tells the children, "Sweethearts, Great-Grandma's kitchen is bigger than ours. You can unleash your creativity here and do whatever you want."
Under the guidance of their elders, the Gu family's pastry chef patiently taught the twins various pastry-making techniques, explaining each step in great detail, from kneading and rolling the dough to rolling out the wrappers and filling them. The chef also used simple, easy-to-understand language to explain complex culinary concepts, tailored to the children's age and comprehension level.
Seeing how diligently his younger siblings were learning, He Ruizhe offered to join their cooking class. He hoped to learn alongside them and share the joy of cooking.
With the support of their family and the guidance of a professional pastry chef, the twins' cooking skills improved rapidly. They not only learned to make traditional steamed buns and dumplings, but also tried making some Western-style baked goods, such as cookies and cupcakes.
As the children's skills improved, homemade snacks frequently appeared at the Gu and Xia families' gatherings. The family members, savoring these delicious dishes, invariably praised their culinary skills.
Seeing the children's progress, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan felt very proud: "We are so proud to see how talented you are. Your future is sure to be bright."
Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao were also pleased with their children's growth: "Our little ones have not only learned to cook, but also learned to share and create happiness."
With the love and support of their family, the twins have not only achieved remarkable success in cooking but have also demonstrated a spirit of active exploration and daring to try new things in other areas. Their enthusiasm and curiosity have brought more vitality and joy to the Gu family, allowing every family member to feel the warmth and harmony of the family.
Han Yulan was overjoyed to see her home bustling with activity because of the twins' cooking. She was always happy to see her home filled with laughter, especially seeing her two great-grandchildren busy in the kitchen, which filled her with immense pride and satisfaction.
Whenever the twins brought freshly baked pastries to Han Yulan, she would always praise them with a beaming smile: "My dear great-grandchildren, the pastries you made are so delicious! Your great-grandmother is overjoyed."
Seeing his mother so happy, Gu Yanxiao shared in her joy: "Mom, you must be very proud to see your children so successful."
Han Yulan nodded, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "Yes, Yanxiao. How can I not be proud of my great-grandchildren who are so capable? They have not only learned to cook, but also to share and care for each other."
Xia Liang added from the side, "The children's achievements are inseparable from the support and encouragement of our whole family. Seeing them grow up so happily makes us elders happy too."
Encouraged by Han Yulan, the twins became even more actively involved in cooking activities. They not only made pastries at home but also shared their cooking experiences with their classmates at kindergarten, becoming little chefs in the eyes of their peers.
As time went on, the twins' culinary skills became increasingly refined, and they even began to try making more complex pastries, such as handmade dumplings and steamed buns. Their innovative and exploratory spirit always filled their family's dining table with surprises.
Seeing their children grow, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan were filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Mom. Your support and encouragement are the driving force for our children's growth."
Han Yulan responded lovingly, "Yunxi, Siyan, these are things we, as elders, should do. Seeing the children happy makes us happy too."
In this loving and supportive family, the twins' culinary journey not only enriched their childhood but also brought more warmth and happiness to the entire family. For Han Yulan, witnessing her great-grandchildren's growth and progress is the greatest happiness and pride in her later years.
