I have a few hobbies, but there is one I like the most, baking (烘焙). A few times I have sold my baking and made some money. But that is not why I bake. I bake because I love the feel of making people happy with my baking. Sometimes I share my baking with my study group. Everyone loves it, especially Lexi.
Lexi loves my cookies. However, she is never interested in baking them. Baking to her sounds like too much work.
I’ve tried different ways to get Lexi to like baking. I let her try a cookie after I made them, showing her what she can get after finishing baking. She wasn’t so sure.
I tried letting Lexi bake herself to show her how fun it is. Again, she still wasn’t sure.
I tried to let Lexi sell our baking. She did get some money, but she again wasn’t sure that she liked baking.
I was slowly giving up. So I advised to do something relaxing. I asked Lexi to paint with me. Lexi started painting quietly. I found that her paintings looked so great. And I also saw the brightness in her eyes while she was painting. The brightness that I imagine is always in my eyes when I bake.
“Lexi,” I said gently, “You found your hobby.”
“I what ” She asked.
“Your hobby.”
“Oh. I guess I did, right Painting. Never thought much of it before.” Lexi answered.
“You should sell those pictures. They all look great. How about joining me at the School Fair ”
“That sounds great!”
For the rest of the week we talked a lot about our plan. I would sell cookies and she would make posters and sell her own paintings at my cookie stand.
On the day of the School Fair, we were so excited but also very nervous. At the end when we counted our money, we saw we had made 150 yuan.
“150 yuan!” I said excitedly.
“Yes! I can get the picture book that I’ve wanted for so long!” Lexi replied, also excitedly.
Later, Lexi got her picture book. Not only that, but we both had our hobbies.
