When He Siyan returned home with his three children, the twins excitedly took two bags of steamed buns out of their schoolbags. These two bags of steamed buns were clearly different from others; they were probably the result of the children making them themselves in their cooking class at kindergarten.
Huang Haitang was very curious when she saw the steamed buns in the children's hands. She smiled and asked, "Sweeties, what are these you holding? They look really good."
The twins answered eagerly, their eyes shining with pride: "Grandma, these are steamed buns we made ourselves at kindergarten today! The teacher taught us how to knead the dough, let it rise, and then steam them."
He Ruizhe joined the conversation, a hint of pride in his voice: "Grandma, my younger brother and sister learned to make steamed buns at kindergarten today. They did it very seriously, and the teacher even praised them."
Hearing what the children said, Huang Haitang's smile became even brighter: "Oh my, my darlings are so capable, they can make steamed buns at such a young age. Let me see, they smell so good."
Gu Yunxi came out of the kitchen at this moment. Seeing the steamed buns in the children's hands, she was very pleased: "I didn't expect you to be able to make the finished product so quickly. That's great."
He Siyan also praised the children's performance: "Children, you have learned so many practical skills in kindergarten, which is a great start."
The twins handed the steamed buns to Huang Haitang, hoping their grandmother would taste their cooking. Huang Haitang gently broke off a small piece, put it in her mouth, and after savoring it, praised it highly: "It's delicious! My darlings did a really good job. Now our family's dining table will have another delicious dish."
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan were delighted to see their children receive recognition and encouragement from their families for their learning and practice at kindergarten. They knew that such experiences would not only enhance their children's practical skills but also cultivate their self-confidence and creativity.
This cooking class at the kindergarten not only taught the twins how to make steamed buns, but also allowed them to experience the joy and sense of accomplishment of labor. For the Gu family, it was more than just a simple dinner; it was a warm moment of family reunion and sharing. The children's growth and progress brought joy and pride to the whole family.
Hearing their grandparents' praise, the twins were filled with joy and pride. They exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling with a shared thought: to share their hard work with their great-grandmother and maternal grandparents, so they could also taste their culinary skills.
Seeing his younger siblings' thoughts, He Ruizhe suggested, "Younger siblings, let's take the other bag of steamed buns to Grandma's house so that Great-Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma can also taste our cooking."
The twins immediately nodded in agreement, excitedly saying, "Great! Great! We think our great-grandmother and maternal grandparents will definitely like it."
Gu Yunxi was very pleased to see how filial her children were: "Ruize, younger brother and sister, you are such sensible and good children. Mom will contact Grandma's house now and tell them about our plans."
He Siyan also supported the children's idea: "This is a great opportunity for you to learn to share and express filial piety. I support you."
Gu Yunxi immediately called Xia Liang to tell her the children's thoughts. Xia Liang was very happy to hear this on the other end of the phone: "Yunxi, tell Ruizhe and the children that we warmly welcome them to come. Their filial piety makes us feel very warm."
He Siyan drove his three children, carrying the bag of steaming hot steamed buns, to their maternal grandparents' house. Along the way, the children excitedly discussed how their great-grandmother and maternal grandparents would rate their steamed buns.
Upon arriving at their maternal grandparents' house, the twins eagerly took out steamed buns and handed them to Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao: "Great-Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma, please try the steamed buns we made ourselves."
Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao took the steamed buns. Seeing the children's expectant eyes, they gently broke one open and took a bite. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on their faces: "It's delicious! Children, you're all wonderful!"
Xia Liang stroked the children's heads gently and said, "Your filial piety makes Great-Grandma very happy. Thank you."
Gu Yanxiao added, "Yes, children. Your steamed buns not only taste good, but they also represent your good wishes."
He Ruizhe was very happy to see his younger siblings receiving praise from his great-grandmother and maternal grandparents: "Great-grandmother, maternal grandparents, my younger siblings knew you would like them, so we specially sent them over."
This small gesture not only allowed the twins to experience the joy of sharing and expressing filial piety, but also strengthened the bond between the Gu and Xia families. For Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao, the children's sentiment was more precious than any gift.
As the maternal grandmother of the twins, Xia Liang paid close attention to and supported the two little ones' growth and interests. She knew that children needed encouragement and guidance during their development, so when the twins showed great interest in steaming buns, Xia Liang always offered them support and praise in the warmest way.
Whenever the twins are at home kneading dough to prepare steamed buns, Xia Liang would take some time to visit them or invite them to her grandmother's house to show off their new creations. She would not only taste the buns the children made but also give them constructive feedback and encouragement, making the children feel that their efforts were recognized.
Xia Liang often says to the twins, "Babies, Grandma is so happy to see how hard you're learning to steam buns. You're making better and better buns, and you'll definitely become great little chefs in the future."
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan also expressed their gratitude to Xia Liang for her participation and support: "Mom, thank you for caring so much about the children's growth. With your encouragement, they are studying even more enthusiastically."
Under Xia Liang's loving care and guidance, the twins not only became increasingly adept at cooking steamed buns, but also demonstrated a positive attitude towards other life skills. They learned to share, to create, and, more importantly, to bring joy to their family through their own hands.
Xia Liang's home became another stage for the twins to showcase their culinary achievements. Whenever they brought freshly baked steamed buns to their grandmother's house, Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao would warmly welcome them and share their accomplishments and joy with them.
This warm and supportive family environment provided the twins with a loving space to grow, allowing them to build confidence and develop independence and creativity through exploration and learning. For Xia Liang, witnessing and participating in her grandchildren's growth was an incredibly happy and precious experience.
