On an ordinary yet special evening, Mo Yanyu was preparing dinner ingredients in the kitchen. The table was filled with all kinds of food: fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and colorful seasonings. Today, he decided to make this dinner unique by planning to cook with the stars, creating a wonderful time to enhance family emotions.
The star dragged a small stool into the kitchen, curiously blinking her big eyes, observing the ingredients on the table. Mo Yanyu bent down and said to her, "Star, how about we cook dinner together today?"
Xingxing showed an excited smile and nodded vigorously, saying, "Okay, okay, Xingxing wants to make a cake!"
Mo Yanyu smiled slightly, thinking that dinner and cake didn't seem to have much direct connection, but he decided to go along with Xingxing's interest and start with that. "Before we cook, let's make a cake first. Do you know what ingredients you need to prepare?"
Xingxing raised his little hand and said earnestly, "We need eggs, milk, and... sugar!"
Mo Yanyu nodded, took out the corresponding ingredients from the refrigerator and cupboard, then lowered his head and said to Xingxing, "Let's start with mixing the batter first." He took out a large bowl and demonstrated how to crack the eggs into the bowl, then let Xingxing try adding the milk and sugar.
Xingxing learns very quickly. Although there were some small mistakes along the way, such as spilling some milk and sugar on the floor, it didn't affect their good mood. Mo Yanyu patiently guided her while cleaning the messy table.
After mixing the batter, Mo Yanyu gently said, "Now, we pour the batter into the mold and then put it in the oven. Baking a cake takes time, so why don't we start preparing dinner in the meantime?"
Xingxing nodded excitedly, already drawn to the atmosphere in the kitchen and full of interest in cooking. "Okay, what delicious dishes are we going to make, Uncle Mo?"
Mo Yanyu looked at the ingredients on the table and decided to make some simple yet delicious home-cooked dishes. "Today, we'll make tomato and egg stir-fry, stir-fried vegetables, and ginger scallion chicken. These are all simple and healthy dishes. Xingxing, why don't you help me wash the vegetables first?"
Xingxing gladly accepted the task and carefully placed the vegetables into the sink, beginning to wash them diligently. Mo Yanyu, on the other hand, started to handle the chicken and prepare other ingredients.
For Mo Yanyu, who is accustomed to rational thinking and precise calculations, teaching Xingxing cooking skills is undoubtedly a completely new challenge.
"Star, do you know how to quickly wash vegetables?" Mo Yanyu began his "lesson," demonstrating how to soak the vegetables in water, adding a little salt and vinegar to remove pesticide residues.
Star's big eyes were full of curiosity, and she carefully observed every move of Mo Yanyu, then imitated it. "Like this, Uncle Mo?" She carefully immersed the vegetables in water, her face full of concentration and anticipation.
"Yes, very good," Mo Yanyu responded with a smile, his words filled with encouragement.
Next, they began the vegetable cutting segment. Mo Yanyu emphasized safety, picking up a piece of vegetable to demonstrate: "You should hold the vegetable with your fingertips and then let the back of the knife rest against your knuckles to avoid cutting your hand." His explanation was both professional and patient, just like an experienced chef.
Star is learning along, her movements are clumsy, but her earnestness warms Mo Yanyu's heart. "Uncle Mo, am I doing this right?" She carefully cuts the vegetables, afraid of making any mistakes.
"Very good, Star, you're learning so quickly," Mo Yanyu praises.
Finally, they began to cook. Mo Yanyu taught Xingxing how to control the heat, which is crucial for cooking. He explained softly, "The heat needs to be adjusted according to different ingredients, so that the dishes can be more delicious." Xingxing listened with great interest, nodding from time to time, apparently very interested in all of this.
Throughout the entire cooking process, Mo Yanyu and Xingxing both enjoyed the pleasure of completing the task together. They not only made a delicious dinner, but more importantly, in this process, Xingxing learned patience and perseverance, while Mo Yanyu felt the responsibility and joy of being an "Uncle Mo."
It seems that Xingxing particularly enjoys this process. She occasionally sneaks a taste of the well-cooked dish and blinks her big eyes, saying in a very professional tone, "Hmm, the taste is just right, Uncle Mo, can we open a restaurant?"
Mo Yanyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile, "In the future, maybe we really can. But for now, let's finish this delicious dinner first."
After all the dishes were ready, they placed the food on the table, and the fragrant scene filled the whole kitchen with a warm and happy atmosphere. At that moment, both Mo Yanyu and Xingxing had satisfied and joyful smiles on their faces.
Mo Yanyu gently said to Xingxing, "Cooking is not just for eating, but more importantly, this process makes us closer and fills our home with love and warmth."
Star looked up at Mo Yanyu, her eyes filled with trust and joy: "Uncle Mo, Star is so happy to cook and eat with you."
After dinner, they cleaned the kitchen together and then sat on the couch, waiting for the cake to bake. Star leaned against Mo Yanyu, her small hand touching his, watching the cake slowly rise in the oven, eagerly anticipating the sweet taste after the meal.
On this night, it was a memorable family cooking night for Mo Yanyu and Xingxing. Through cooking together, not only did it strengthen their relationship, but it also made their home warmer and happier. This simple and beautiful time will become one of their most precious memories.
As the evening breeze gently blew, the cake in the oven was finally done. Mo Yanyu gently opened the oven door, and a sweet fragrance immediately filled the entire room. Xingxing jumped up excitedly, with a sparkle of excitement in his eyes, "Uncle Mo, the cake smells so good! Let's eat it quickly!"
Mo Yanyu smiled and nodded, carefully taking the cake out of the oven and placing it on a rack to cool. He watched the excitement in Star's eyes and felt warmth in his heart. This simple family cooking activity not only allowed them to enjoy the fun of cooking, but more importantly, it deepened the emotional exchange and understanding between them.
After the cake cooled, Mo Yanyu carefully removed it from the mold and placed it on a plate. "Star, come, let's cut the cake," he said, picking up the knife and demonstrating how to evenly divide the cake.
The stars couldn't contain their excitement, imitating Mo Yanyu as they cut the cake and couldn't resist sneaking a small bite. "Mmm, it's delicious!" Their eyes sparkled with happiness.
Mo Yanyu watched the stars enjoy the cake with great relish, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction. They divided the cake they had cut into two large pieces, each taking one, and sat at the table to savor it slowly. This delicious treat, made by their own hands, felt more touching and precious than any dessert bought from outside.
After finishing the cake, Xingxing took out her sketchbook and decided to draw today's cooking activities. Mo Yanyu accompanied her quietly, watching her focused expression, and couldn't help but think that such ordinary and warm days are the true beauty of life.
Time slowly passed in this warm atmosphere, and when Xingxing finished drawing her "perfect dinner" in her mind, night had fallen. Mo Yanyu stood up, gently tidied up the table, and then said to Xingxing, "Today was truly a fulfilling and happy day. Xingxing, are you tired?"
The stars shook their heads, still full of vitality in their eyes: "Not tired, being with Uncle Mo makes the stars the happiest!"
Mo Yanyu reached out and gently stroked the stars' head, his eyes full of deep affection: "Okay, we can do more activities like this in the future, cooking together, painting together, making our lives more colorful."
Star nodded happily, her smile shining like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating Mo Yanyu's world. That night was not just about cooking, but also about memories of family, love, and warmth, which would be forever etched in their hearts.
From that day on, family cooking nights became an important and beautiful tradition between them. As night fell, the lights in the house would warmly illuminate, the kitchen filled with enticing aromas, and laughter and joy would fill the air, becoming the most precious shared memories between Mo Yanyu and Star.
And this simple happiness is cherished by Mo Yanyu and Xingxing, symbolizing the warmth of home, the power of love, and those ordinary but indispensable moments of happiness in life.
