Han Xiaodong looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Jia Zhang, I plan to make some stir-fried meat and vegetables today. I have some fresh ingredients here."

Jia Zhang glanced at the dish in Han Xiaodong's hand and said, "Huh, it's just stir-fried pork. What's so great about it? Even my family members praise the food I cook for being delicious. Your ability is nothing."

Han Xiaodong knew that Jia Zhang's words were a little jealous, but he still kept smiling and said kindly: "Jia Zhang, everyone has different tastes, and there are many tricks to cooking. I just hope that the dishes I cook can make everyone happy."

Jia Zhang snorted noncommittally, "I hope so. But I don't think your food is that special."

Although Han Xiaodong was a little unhappy, he chose to ignore these critical remarks. He knew that the reason why Jia Zhang did this was largely due to her uneasiness and jealousy of her cooking skills.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong made a special dish - pan-fried fish fillet. The fish fillet was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with good color, aroma and taste. Han Xiaodong decided to send this dish to Jia Zhang to try, trying to resolve her hostility with food.

He ordered a plate of fried fish fillet and brought it to the door of Jia Zhang's house. Jia Zhang was busy cleaning the yard, and when she saw the dish Han Xiaodong brought, she looked at him with some surprise.

"Han Xiaodong, what are you doing?" Jia Zhang frowned and asked with half curiosity and half vigilance. "Jia Zhang, this is the pan-fried fish fillet I made today. I just happened to have a little extra, so I thought you could try it, I hope you like it."

Jia Zhang took the fish fillet and showed a hesitant smile. "This is the first time someone has given me food. I'll give it a try."

Han Xiaodong watched Jia Zhang take the dish, feeling a little bit excited and nervous at the same time. He hoped that this dish would make Jia Zhang feel his care and sincerity.

Jia Zhang returned to the house and couldn't wait to try the fried fish fillet. The fish fillet was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a mellow taste. Jia Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression on her face.

"This fish fillet... is really delicious." Jia Zhang said to herself, with a hint of surprise and appreciation in her tone.

Han Xiaodong waited quietly in the yard. After a while, Jia Zhang came out with a barely perceptible smile on her face.

"Han Xiaodong, you cooked this dish very well. Maybe I had some misunderstandings about you before." Jia Zhang said with a slightly gentle tone.

Han Xiaodong smiled with relief, "Ms. Jia Zhang, if you have any suggestions, feel free to tell me. I am also happy to learn and improve. The attitude towards Han Xiaodong in my heart changed, "Well, I will. In fact, your cooking skills are really good, maybe my previous evaluation of you was a bit one-sided. "

Han Xiaodong felt relieved when he saw the change in Jia Zhang's attitude. He knew that such a change was the result of gradual accumulation over time and sincerity.

Not long after, Jia Zhang's family also held a small party. She specially invited Han Xiaodong, hoping to deepen their mutual understanding. Han Xiaodong gladly accepted the invitation and brought some dishes he cooked.

On the day of the party, Han Xiaodong brought the carefully prepared delicacies to Jia Zhang's home. Seeing Jia Zhang and other neighbors already waiting, Han Xiaodong greeted them warmly: "Jia Zhang, hello everyone. Today's dishes are a bit special, I hope you will like them."

Jia Zhang greeted Han Xiaodong with a smile, "Han Xiaodong, welcome. The dishes you brought must be delicious. We are all looking forward to it."

The party started, tasting the food brought by Han Xiaodong. Jia Zhang also joined in the tasting, she ate every dish carefully, and communicated with people around her from time to time.

"Han Xiaodong, the dishes you cook are really unique." After tasting a dish, Jia Zhang praised Han Xiaodong, "I especially like this cold dish, it tastes fresh and very appetizing."

Han Xiaodong smiled and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, Jia Zhang. In fact, cooking is to make everyone happy. If you like it, then I am very happy. "You are such a careful person. I was a little harsh in my evaluation of your cooking skills before, but now it seems that you do have your own unique features. "

Han Xiaodong was very pleased, knowing that his relationship with Jia Zhang was gradually improving. He continued to chat with everyone, sharing his cooking experience and listening carefully to other people's suggestions and opinions. Everyone praised Han Xiaodong's cooking skills, and Jia Zhang took the initiative to thank Han Xiaodong.

"Han Xiaodong, today's party was a great success. Your dishes are not only delicious, but also make everyone happy." Jia Zhang said sincerely, "Thank you for coming and thank you for the delicious food you brought."

Han Xiaodong responded with a smile: "Jia Zhangshi, I am very satisfied if I can make everyone happy. We will have the opportunity to get together again in the future and continue to share food and happiness." "Okay, we will definitely get together again. Maybe in the days to come, we can become better friends. He knows that it takes time and sincerity to change the relationship with neighbors from the initial unfamiliarity to the gradual understanding and friendship. Today, the relationship between himself and Jia Zhangshi has improved significantly, and the seeds of friendship have quietly taken root in his heart.

As time went by, Han Xiaodong and Jia Zhang gradually established a more harmonious relationship. They often exchanged cooking experiences and occasionally drank tea and chatted together. Jia Zhang no longer had hostility towards Han Xiaodong's cooking skills, but often asked him for advice and learned some new cooking techniques.

One day, Jia Zhang walked to Han Xiaodong's house with some fresh ingredients in her hands and an excited expression on her face.

"Han Xiaodong, I just bought some fresh ingredients from the market, and I want to try making a new dish. If you are free, can you come to my house and help me?" His tone was full of anticipation.

Seeing Jia Zhang's enthusiasm, Han Xiaodong happily agreed: "Jia Zhang. Let's look at these ingredients together and try to make some new dishes. It will definitely be fun."

The two walked into Jia Zhang's kitchen together and started a new cooking attempt. While preparing the ingredients, Jia Zhang excitedly asked Han Xiaodong various questions.

"Han Xiaodong, do you think this dish needs any special seasoning?" asked Jia Zhang, with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes.

Han Xiaodong smiled and replied: "It depends on the characteristics of the ingredients. You can try using some common seasonings, such as ginger, garlic, salt, and soy sauce, and then make some adjustments based on the actual situation."

Jia Zhang nodded seriously and followed Han Xiaodong's suggestion to mix the seasoning. With Han Xiaodong's help, the two successfully completed a new dish - clear stewed pork ribs soup, the soup was clear and delicious.

Jia Zhang tasted the dish she had made herself.

In the 1970s, in a quaint courtyard, there lived all kinds of neighbors. Everyone here had their own story, and every bit of fireworks was rich and real. Han Xiaodong, a young man in his twenties, grew up in such an environment. He had just been transferred from a factory to work in a street office. His life was not rich, but he had a positive attitude.

"Han Xiaodong, don't forget today, Sister Qin's son is going to have a full-month banquet, you have to go early to help." Neighbor Liu Haizhong poked his head out from the gate and reminded with a smile on his face.

"Brother Haizhong, I'll go right away." Han Xiaodong responded, put down the newspaper in his hand, and walked quickly towards Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Huairu is a beautiful and capable woman. Her husband Jia Dongxu is a skilled craftsman in the factory. It is natural to celebrate the full moon of their son. The yard has been bustling for a long time. When Han Xiaodong arrived, Qin Huairu pulled him to the kitchen to help.

"Han Xiaodong, you are a deft boy, you have to chop the chicken nicely." Qin Huairu said with a smile, her eyes full of trust.

"Don't worry, Sister Qin, this is not a problem for me." Han Xiaodong rolled up his sleeves, picked up a knife and began to cook the chicken skillfully. The kitchen was filled with fragrance, and people in the yard gradually gathered around to enjoy this rare feast. Yan Bugui told jokes loudly, making everyone laugh; the deaf old lady looked at everyone kindly, gesturing with her hands from time to time; the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were fighting for the wine pot and insulting each other.

"Hey, Han Xiaodong, tell me, when can we get a new house in this compound?" Jia Dongxu took a sip of wine and asked with longing on his face. It's hard to say, the policy changes every day, we can only wait patiently. "Han Xiaodong answered with a smile, but his heart was full of expectations for the future.

At that time, he was a respected elder in the hospital, and everyone respected him. He patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Little Han Xiaodong, you are young and promising. If you work hard, you will definitely have a bright future."

"Thank you, Uncle Yi. I will definitely work hard." Han Xiaodong nodded, feeling very grateful.

After the banquet, Han Xiaodong helped to clean up the tables and chairs and returned to his own room. He sat on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, his heart full of longing for the future.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong received a task from the subdistrict office to investigate a neighborhood dispute. It turned out that Jia Zhang and Yan Jiecheng were arguing over a piece of land.

Han Xiaodong knocked on Jia Zhang's door and said politely, "Aunt Jia, can you tell me about the situation?"

Jia Zhang said angrily: "That Yan Jiecheng is really going too far. This piece of land is obviously ours, but he insisted that it was his."

Han Xiaodong listened patiently and went to Yan Jiecheng's house. "What do you have to say?" Han Xiaodong asked.

Yan Jiecheng refused to give in: "Little Han Xiaodong, you know that this piece of land was originally bought by my father. Now they insist on taking it away. It's really unreasonable. He said: "How about this, you two, let's hold a meeting in the courtyard tomorrow and let everyone come to judge the matter, okay?"

The next day, everyone in the courtyard gathered together. Han Xiaodong elaborated on the opinions of both sides and finally proposed: "I think it would be better if no one uses this land. We can use it to build a small garden for everyone to enjoy. What do you think?"
