In a teaching room in the school.

Chang Pingning looked at the lonely Meng Xia in the room, and what he was worried about finally happened.People in Guojiacun were affected by the rumors and stopped coming to school to learn how to read.Meng Xia was the only one left, and Meng Xia didn't even have time to tell her.

Chang Pingning walked into the room and opened his mouth to comfort Meng Xia.

"I'm giving everyone a winter vacation. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you." Meng Xia spoke before Chang Pingning, looking at Chang Pingning with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"Winter vacation?" Chang Pingning heard this statement for the first time.

"The weather was too cold, so I took a few days off." Meng Xia explained with a smile, but her smile was a little forced.

Hearing the sounds of other schoolchildren reading from outside the house, Chang Pingning tilted his head and listened, hearing the children chanting rhythmically, "The sky and the earth are black and yellow, the universe is primitive."

Meng Xia also heard that Mr. You next door was teaching the students "The Thousand-Character Classic". He looked up and found that Chang Pingning was also listening to the sound of reading next door.

"Mr. You is very serious. He is still teaching students to study in such a cold weather." Meng Xia seemed to be looking for something to say.

Chang Pingning did not answer Meng Xia's words, but asked: "Will this affect what you want to do?"

Meng Xia was stunned when he heard it, and then replied with a smile: "No. Then don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, Meng Xia stood up and invited Chang Pingning: "Ms. Chang, are you free now? Go to Liu's house and I will teach you how to make milk tea."

Chang Pingning looked at the smiling Meng Xia in front of her and felt relieved. Only now did she feel that the confident Meng Xia was back.

On a snowy winter day, the aroma of brewing tea wafts from the Liu family's kitchen.

Meng Xia used a eating bowl to teach Chang Pingning how to control the proportion of tea and milk. Anyway, according to their favorite taste, just use a rice bowl to weigh one.

"We cook and drink it ourselves. If we don't want to gain weight, we can put a little sugar in it after serving it." Meng Xia said, adding a very small amount of sugar to his bowl.

Chang Pingning didn't understand that only if you were fatter would you be blessed.Moreover, Chang Pingning also feels that if you gain weight in winter, you will be less likely to get sick or even be blown away by strong winds.

Meng Xia saw Chang Pingning's confused expression and didn't know how to explain it. She laughed twice awkwardly: "Personal preference, don't force it, you can do whatever you want." After saying that, she saw Chang Pingning add two ounces to the milk tea bowl in front of her. A tablespoon of sugar was almost the amount that Meng Xia usually added when cooking.

Chang Pingning took a sip and felt that the taste was a bit weak. The aroma of the tea was obvious, but it was all dissolved in the tea and it was not obvious when drinking it, so he wanted to add some more sugar.

However, Chang Pingning noticed that Meng Xia had been watching her movements, so she only added a little bit of sugar, and then handed Meng Xia the milk tea she had made.

"See what I did?"

Meng Xia looked at the milk tea with a distinct aroma of sugar that Chang Pingning handed over to him, and muttered in a low voice: "Life is too bitter, it doesn't hurt to have some sweetness."

After thanking Chang Pingning, he took the milk tea prepared by Chang Pingning, poured it into a small bowl on the side and drank some.

It is much sweeter than the "almost no sugar" she made herself.

Over the drink, Meng Xia quickly started talking.

Meng Xia told Chang Pingning that some time ago, another group of wealthy businessmen from other places came to the school. She cooked three or four times and found that the dishes ordered by the wealthy businessmen were very similar.

Meng Xia is planning to launch some set menus with a combination of dishes in the future, which will not only be convenient for wealthy businessmen who come from other places to try the new dishes, but also teach the aunts in the school to cook only a few dishes, saving energy on both sides.Besides, some of the aunts she and Chang Pingning thought were good at it have recently gotten better at their craftsmanship, and they can almost recognize the names of accounts and dish names.Meng Xiadu plans to let Aunt Guangying do the cooking and accounting next time.

Unexpectedly, most of the students did not come today. Even if the students from Guojia Village came, they came to tell Meng Xia that they wanted to prepare for the New Year at home and did not want to waste time in the school.

Meng Xia saw that although the villagers were sincere when speaking, it was also obvious that they did not want to continue coming to the school, so he simply gave everyone a holiday.

Chang Pingning listened on the sidelines. Although he didn't know what "set meal" meant at first, as Meng Xia told it, Chang Pingning could feel that Meng Xia had been planning the school for a long time.

It's just that today's changes were really big and unexpected.

Chang Pingning wanted to give you something to comfort Meng Xia, but unexpectedly he heard Meng Xia's joking voice.

"That's it. I've told you all the new ways to make money, but you can't plagiarize." Meng Xia said jokingly.

Chang Pingning was a little helpless: "If I plagiarize your method, I might as well pay you the dividends from the stall."

After hearing what Chang Pingning said, Meng Xia patted her shoulder and laughed, then picked up the milk tea bowl in her hand and took a sip.

"You just added so much sugar, does it really taste good?" Chang Pingning wondered.

"What are you talking about in the kitchen? Why are you so happy? Madam Chang is here too?" Liu Qingwan raised the wind-blocking curtain at the door of the kitchen and looked back before walking in. "Brother Yu is too noisy today. I came to the kitchen to hide for a while." ."

Chang Pingning served another bowl of milk tea to Liu Qingwan and was about to hand it to Liu Qingwan, but Meng Xia stopped him and added a few more spoons of sugar before letting Chang Pingning continue to hand the milk tea to Liu Qingwan.

"Have a drink, Mrs. Chang made the milk tea." Meng Xia said.

Liu Qingwan took the milk tea and looked at Meng Xia with a surprised expression: "You don't plan to use the milk tea as a gift? Are you thinking of selling milk tea separately?"

This sounds like Meng Xia is teaching Chang Pingning how to make milk tea, but actually he wants her to sell milk tea.

Meng Xia did not answer Liu Qingwan's words. She glanced at Liu Qingwan and said, "Most of the students are not here today."

Liu Qingwan knew the meaning behind these words, so she sighed and said nothing.

"Mother--where have you been? Mother--" Liu Qingwan's son's voice came from outside the house.

Next came "Aunt Liu" who appeared this time. Chang Pingning thought the voice sounded familiar, but it didn't sound like Guo Lingan's voice.

The kitchen door curtain was opened again, and Liu Qingwan's son came in, followed by the three younger brothers and sisters of the Guo family.

Chang Pingning was helpless when he saw this. He didn't know when these four children played together.But facing the four children in front of him, he served each of them a bowl of milk tea and reminded them to keep warm.

Guo Shuyi didn't like being talked about, so he hurriedly took the milk tea and said "I know" and wanted to leave the kitchen.But maybe it was too cold outside, so Guo Shuyi walked to the kitchen door and then came back.

The three younger brothers and sisters had already finished one bowl and were going to ask their sister-in-law for another bowl.

After a while, after several children ran to play in the yard again, Chang Pingning proposed to go back and get busy. The Chinese New Year was almost here, and there was still a lot of work waiting at home.

However, after Chang Pingning walked out of Liu's house, he glanced in the direction of Aunt Guangying's house, hesitated for a while, and then walked in the direction of his own house.
