Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

In the dead of night, He Daqing lay in bed, his mind recounting the past. He knew that his future had changed, and he had to make changes to welcome a new life.

The next morning, He came to the company early and threw himself into the busy work. He knew that only through his own efforts could he create a better future for his family and children.

At the same time, Shi Xiaona and Yang Shumao are also busy and nervous. The second phase of the project is progressing smoothly, and they are full of confidence in the future. Although the road ahead is still full of unknowns and challenges, they believe that as long as they trust and support each other, the future will definitely be better.

A few months later, with their joint efforts, the company's performance gradually recovered and the morale of the employees became higher and higher. The tacit cooperation between Shi Xiaona and Yang Shumao made the atmosphere within the company more harmonious and positive.

One weekend, Shi Xiaona and Yang Shumao agreed to go to the suburbs to relax. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the two were walking on the green path, feeling particularly happy.

"Xiao Na, what do you think the company will look like in the future?" Yang Shumao suddenly asked.

Shi Xiaona smiled and said, "I think as long as we keep working hard, the company will get better and better. Our employees will be happier and our customers will be more satisfied."

"Daqing, come and help me move this pot of flowers." Grandma's voice came from the yard next to him, bringing him back to reality from his thoughts.

"Okay, grandma, I'll be right there!" He Daqing responded and walked quickly towards grandma's yard. Since his parents passed away, grandma has become his only relative and his greatest support.

Grandma is a kind old lady, with traces of time on her face, but her eyes are still bright. She is fiddling with flowers and plants in the yard, which is her favorite pastime. "This pot of jasmine is too heavy, I can't move it by myself, come and help me move it to the shade over there."

He Daqing lifted the flower pot easily and placed it in the place designated by grandma. Grandma nodded with satisfaction, "You are always so capable, and I can save a lot of worry."

"Grandma, you're welcome. This is what I should do." He Daqing said with a smile, but a little bitterness rose in his heart. Since his parents passed away, he has become the backbone of the family, and all the responsibilities fell on his shoulders.

The courtyard was peaceful and beautiful in the evening. The flowers and plants in the courtyard exuded a faint fragrance, and the birds sang cheerful songs on the treetops. He Daqing sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, but he felt an unspeakable loneliness in his heart. Ever since Li Mei got married, his heart had been empty, and he always felt that something was missing.

Li Mei was his childhood friend. They had spent countless happy days in the same alley. Her smile and her voice had always lingered in his mind. Unfortunately, fate had separated them. She married in another city, and he could only miss her silently here.

"Daqing, is there any good news recently?" Grandma seemed to see what was on his mind and asked softly.

"No, grandma." He Daqing sighed and whispered, "There is no progress at work. Life is just like this."

Grandma patted his shoulder and said gently: "Daqing, don't be discouraged, you are still young, everything will be fine. Look at this courtyard, how beautiful it is, there will always be new hope and a new beginning."

He Daqing nodded, but his heart was still heavy. Suddenly, he heard a light knock on the door. He looked up and saw that it was Xiaofang, a little girl from the neighbor's house. She was standing at the door with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"Brother Daqing, someone is looking for you." Xiaofang said timidly.

"Who is it?" He Daqing stood up, walked to the door, and saw a familiar figure. It was Li Mei, who was holding a small bag in her hand and had a smile on her face.

"Li Mei? Why are you here?" He Daqing asked in surprise, but an irrepressible excitement surged in his heart.

"I came back to see you and grandma." Li Mei said with a smile, "I heard that you have been taking care of grandma, so I wanted to come and chat."

He Daqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Come in, grandma will be very happy." He stepped aside, and Li Mei walked into the yard. The surrounding environment made her feel very familiar. She looked around, as if time had gone back, and everything was the same as she remembered.

Grandma was also very happy to see Li Mei, "Li Mei, long time no see, do you still remember this yard?"

"Of course I remember, grandma. I remember everything here clearly." Li Mei responded with a smile, her eyes gleaming with nostalgia. She walked to the center of the yard and gently stroked the old tree. "This tree is still here. We often played here when we were young."

He Daqing looked at Li Mei, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Although he hadn't seen her for many years, she was still the Li Mei he was familiar with, gentle and beautiful.

As night fell, lanterns were hung in the yard, and the soft light sprinkled around, adding a touch of warmth to the whole yard. He Daqing, his grandmother and Li Mei sat together and talked about the past, as if they had returned to those carefree times.

"Li Mei, are you leaving again after you come back this time?" He Daqing finally asked the question in his mind, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Li Mei lowered her head and said softly, "Daqing, I came back this time to tell you a piece of news." She paused, as if she was organizing her words, "My husband and I are divorced."

He Daqing was stunned, feeling shocked and distressed, "How could this happen?"

Li Mei raised her head with a trace of sadness in her eyes. "Our marriage has not been going well, and finally it has come to this. I came back to start over."

He Daqing looked at her with mixed feelings. He wished he could give her a warm hug and share all her pain. "Li Mei, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Li Mei smiled slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, "Thank you, Daqing. You have always been the person I trust the most, and I know you will understand me."

It was late at night, and grandma went back to her room to rest. Only He Daqing and Li Mei were left in the yard. They sat on a stone bench, quietly looking at the night sky, as if they had returned to those carefree times.

"Daqing, do you still remember our childhood dreams?" Li Mei asked softly, with memories gleaming in her eyes.

"Of course I remember. We said we would build a beautiful home together and live a happy life." He Daqing responded, his heart full of nostalgia.

"Yeah, what a pity, we took the wrong path." Li Mei whispered with a hint of melancholy in her voice.

He Daqing held her hand and said firmly: "Li Mei, we still have a chance now. As long as we are willing, everything can start over again."
