First I made the dough too soft.     11     But as I kept trying, I learned how to make it more successfully. Later, I cooked dishes and things like dumplings. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. Now working at home, I cook every meal and never get food delivered (点外卖).     12     Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood.     13     It was hard work, but I learned a lot.

I’m happy to know that there is labor education in primary and middle schools in China. Students in primary and middle schools have at least one class every week to learn simple household skills (技能) like cooking and cleaning.     15     And you will be thankful for these skills in the future.
