one day,

"Han Xiaodong, there is a technical training opportunity in the factory recently, and the leader recommended my brother and me to participate. We would like to ask you for some learning methods." Liu Guangtian said.

Han Xiaodong put down his work and listened carefully, "Brother Guangtian, Brother Fu, this is a good opportunity. There are many ways to learn, the key is to find the one that suits you. I usually make a study plan first, and then follow the plan step by step." Han Xiaodong, you are right. We also need a plan, otherwise we will have no direction in learning. "Yes, the plan is very important. Also, don't be afraid if you encounter problems during the learning process, ask more questions and learn more. There are many experienced people in our courtyard, you can ask them for advice."

Liu Guangtian said gratefully: "Han Xiaodong, you are such a good teacher, we will do it according to your method." Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu followed Han Xiaodong's advice, made a detailed study plan, and began to seriously learn new technologies. Whenever they encountered difficulties, Han Xiaodong always patiently helped them solve the problems.

The days passed quietly in the busyness. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu achieved excellent results in the technical training and were recognized and praised by the factory leaders. Han Xiaodong was also very pleased to see the progress of the two brothers.

One day, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came to Han Xiaodong's house with a gift.

"Han Xiaodong, this is a little gift from us two brothers. Thank you for your help all the time." Liu Guangtian said as he handed the gift to Han Xiaodong.

Han Xiaodong took the gift and said with emotion: "Brother Guangtian, Brother Fu, you are so polite. We are friends."

Liu Guangfu smiled and said, "Han Xiaodong, you have helped us so much, we are really grateful. This gift is our heartfelt gift, please accept it."

Han Xiaodong looked at the brothers' sincere eyes.

Yan Jiecheng is a good friend of Han Xiaodong.

Yan Jiecheng is a frequent visitor to the Siheyuan. He and Han Xiaodong have been friends for many years. Although they have very different personalities, they can always find common interests at the wine table. Yan Jiecheng has a free and easy personality and a wide range of hobbies, while Han Xiaodong is steady and down-to-earth. Their friendship has become deeper with the company of wine. Whenever night falls, the two will drink and chat at a small table in the courtyard of the Siheyuan, sharing each other's joys and sorrows in life.

On this day, Han Xiaodong was busy in the kitchen, preparing for tonight's dinner. Yan Jiecheng came early and sat at the small table in the yard, holding an old book in his hand, flipping through a few pages from time to time, then looking up at Han Xiaodong with an expectant smile on his face.

"Han Xiaodong, what delicious dishes have you prepared today? I'm waiting impatiently." Yan Jiecheng joked while flipping through a book.

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Jie Cheng, today I made your favorite braised pork and sweet and sour pork tenderloin, as well as a few side dishes. I hope they suit your taste."

When Yan Jiecheng heard about braised pork and sweet and sour pork tenderloin, his eyes lit up and he immediately put down his book, "Then I'm going to feast on your food. Every dish you cook is so delicious that I can't stop eating."

Han Xiaodong was busy preparing dinner, and from time to time he asked Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng, how is your work going recently? Is there any new progress?"

While admiring Han Xiaodong's cooking skills, Yan Jiecheng said, "Alas, things at work are getting more and more complicated. The company has launched several new projects, and the pressure is huge. I worked overtime until late at night yesterday, and I was so tired that I almost didn't have the energy to take a taxi."

While turning the dishes in the pot, Han Xiaodong asked with concern: "You are under so much pressure. Are you feeling well? You should take a good rest. No matter how busy you are at work, you should not neglect your health."

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand. "I know, Han Xiaodong. Don't worry. I've been trying some relaxation methods recently, such as taking a bubble bath and listening to music, which finally helped me relieve some stress." "That's good. You have to learn to find a balance in life, otherwise there's no point in being busy."

Yan Jiecheng stood up from the table, walked to the kitchen door, looked at Han Xiaodong's busy figure, and sighed: "Your cooking is really an art. Every time I see you cooking, I feel like I am watching a beautiful performance."

Han Xiaodong was busy chopping vegetables and responded with a smile: "Xie Cheng, you are exaggerating. I just try my best to make everyone happy."

Yan Jiecheng teased, "Don't be modest. Your cooking skills can make people feel happy while eating. An ordinary person like me can only find the real taste in your dishes."

Time passed quickly as the two of them joked around. After Han Xiaodong prepared the dishes, he served them on the table. Yan Jiecheng picked up his wine glass and admired the delicacies on the table.

"Han Xiaodong, today's dishes are absolutely delicious, especially the braised pork. It melts in your mouth and is sweet and salty. It's absolutely amazing." Yan Jiecheng said exaggeratedly, his taste buds on the tip of his tongue being stimulated to the fullest.

Han Xiaodong picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, took a sip of wine, and said with satisfaction: "Thank you for the compliment, Jie Cheng. I am satisfied that you like it."

Yan Jiecheng smacked his lips. "Then I'll have to eat a few more pieces. Anyway, I don't care about calories at all now."

Han Xiaodong looked at Yan Jiecheng with a smile, feeling very comfortable. He knew how precious such time was, and being with friends was not only about eating, but also about sharing the little things in life.

While enjoying the food, the two began to talk about their lives.

"Han Xiaodong, I saw you chatting with your neighbor Xiao Wang for a long time a few days ago. What happened?" Yan Jiecheng asked.

Han Xiaodong wiped the corners of his mouth and answered seriously: "Xiao Wang has encountered some family problems recently and his life has not been going well. I talked to him and gave him some advice."

Yan Jiecheng said with emotion: "You are such a good person, always willing to help others. In fact, sometimes I feel that a little bit of care and support in life can make people feel very warm. He said with deep feeling: "Yes, sometimes what we do may be very small, but for others, it may be a great support. Especially in difficult situations, everyone can make life better by supporting each other. He sighed: "You are right. I have been thinking about this these days. In fact, no matter how busy the work is or how hard life is, in the end, it still depends on the support of friends and family around you. Just like you, my friend, every time I have difficulties, I can always get your help."

Han Xiaodong raised his glass with a smile, "Jie Cheng, friendship is like this, supporting each other and making progress together. Thank you for your company all the time. Today's dinner can be regarded as a celebration between us. He clinked glasses with Han Xiaodong, "Then I want to thank you too, Han Xiaodong. Today's food is so delicious. We should get together a few more times to share each other's lives. Drinking wine and talking about the little things in life. The night outside gradually deepened, and the lights in the yard reflected the smiling faces of the two. At this moment, the tranquility and harmony of the courtyard seemed to make time stand still.

"By the way, Han Xiaodong, I went to see an old friend a few days ago, and he told me some interesting stories about his travel experiences. Do you have any special travel experiences?" Yan Jiecheng suddenly asked.

Han Xiaodong thought for a moment, "I've actually been to a few places, but the one that left the deepest impression on me was a trip to Shanxi. The ancient towns and traditional food there left a deep impression on me. Especially the knife-cut noodles there, which were really irresistible."

Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up. "Knife-cut noodles? I've heard of it, but I haven't tried it yet. Is there any special way to make it or any tricks?" "Yes. Knife-cut noodles require special flour and knife skills. The knife skills must be fast and accurate to cut out fine and even noodles. After the noodles are cooked, they taste even better when paired with rich soup and seasonings."

Yan Jiecheng said excitedly: "Then I will try it next time. You are really an expert and know everything." "Jiecheng, these are just some little knowledge, as long as they can make everyone happy."

The two continued to chat, talking about everything from travel experiences to daily life. The friendship between Han Xiaodong and Yan Jiecheng deepened in this exchange. Although their lives were ordinary, they were full of warmth and love.

As the night went on, Han Xiaodong and Yan Jiecheng gradually put down their glasses. Yan Jiecheng yawned and stood up: "Han Xiaodong, today's dinner is really great. Thank you for your hospitality and company."

Han Xiaodong also stood up. "Jie Cheng, you're welcome. You can come to my place anytime. We can chat and share our lives."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and nodded. I will treat you to a meal next time. You must accept it this time. "

Han Xiaodong agreed with a smile, "Okay, then it's settled. Thank you for your company today, and good night."

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand and set off on his way home. Looking at his friend's back, his heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction. He knew that such friendship and care were the most precious part of his life.

As the night deepened, the courtyard returned to its tranquility. Han Xiaodong cleaned up the table, walked into the house, sat in front of the window, and looked at the night view outside. He felt extremely peaceful and satisfied. On such days, he understood the true meaning of friendship, which is to support each other and make progress together in every little bit of life.

Life in the Siheyuan of the old city is always full of various interesting things and human touches. In these days, Han Xiaodong's cooking skills and his helpful personality made him quite popular among the neighbors. However, not everyone was convinced by Han Xiaodong's talent. Jia Zhang was one of the neighbors who was jealous of Han Xiaodong's cooking skills.

Jia Zhang is an older woman in the courtyard. She has a strong personality and is always picky about Han Xiaodong's cooking. Although Han Xiaodong knows that she is somewhat dissatisfied with him, he always treats her with tolerance and kindness, trying to resolve her hostility through food and sincerity. After a period of getting along, the relationship between Han Xiaodong and Jia Zhang has changed subtly.

One day, Jia Zhang came over, mumbling, "Han Xiaodong, I heard you're going to cook again today? What's new this time?"
