Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

One day, He Daqing saw the children of his neighbor Xiao Li playing in the yard wearing worn-out shoes. He felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking about his own childhood, he decided to do something for the neighbors in the courtyard. He thought that shoes are daily necessities and everyone needs a pair of comfortable shoes.

So, He Daqing began to secretly plan this action. He first visited every household in the courtyard, pretending to chat and observing the condition of everyone's shoes. He found that in addition to the children of Xiao Li's family, Aunt Zhang's shoes were also worn out, and Grandpa Liu's old cloth shoes should also be replaced with new ones. He Daqing secretly took note of these situations and had a rough plan in mind.

In the following days, He Daqing took time to go to the shoe stores and wholesale markets in the city to select various suitable shoes. He remembered the needs of each neighbor, including the sports shoes that Xiao Li's children needed, the comfortable women's shoes that Aunt Zhang needed, and the non-slip cloth shoes that Grandpa Liu needed. He carefully selected each pair of shoes to ensure quality and comfort.

He Daqing was sweating profusely as he went back and forth between the shoe store and the courtyard house. But he was very happy. After several days of hard work, he finally bought all the shoes. In order to give everyone a surprise, he decided to deliver them to every household while everyone was at home.

On a sunny morning, He Daqing packed all the shoes neatly into a big bag early in the morning. He first went to Xiao Li's home and handed a few pairs of brand new sneakers to Xiao Li's parents, saying, "These are shoes I bought for the children. They are comfortable to wear and easy to run in." Xiao Li's parents thanked him repeatedly, their eyes were red with emotion.

Then, He Daqing knocked on Aunt Zhang's door again, handed her a pair of soft and comfortable women's shoes, and said with a smile: "Aunt, these shoes will be very suitable for you to wear when you go out to dance square dance." Aunt Zhang took the shoes, her face full of smiles, and praised He Daqing for his thoughtfulness.

Finally, He Daqing came to Grandpa Liu's house, took out a pair of non-slip cloth shoes, and said, "Grandpa, you are old, so you must be careful when walking. These shoes are non-slip and safe to wear." Grandpa Liu held He Daqing's hand and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

After delivering the shoes, He Daqing returned to his home and sat on a rattan chair in the yard, feeling extremely satisfied. Watching his neighbors walking around in the yard wearing new shoes, he felt that all the hard work was worth it.

From that day on, the courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere. Everyone wore the shoes given by He Daqing and thanked each other for their help and care. He Daqing became a great hero in the courtyard, and everyone respected and loved him even more. Whenever someone asked about the origin of these shoes, everyone would say in unison: "This was given by He Daqing. He is the most enthusiastic person in our courtyard."

Since He Daqing sent shoes to the neighbors in the courtyard, he felt extremely satisfied, but at the same time, he also felt that he could do more to make everyone's life better. He began to think about what he could do next. One day, He Daqing was tossing and turning in bed, and the happy faces of everyone in the courtyard appeared in his mind. He suddenly thought that when everyone is together, they not only need to dress well, but also eat well. So he decided to prepare some delicious food for the neighbors so that everyone can share the joy of food.

The next morning, He Daqing got up early, put on his cloth shoes, took his shopping basket, and walked to the nearby vegetable market. Along the way, the morning light sprinkled in the ancient alleys, and He Daqing was in a particularly good mood. He walked into the market and skillfully selected fresh ingredients, buying a few lively fish, fresh vegetables, and some large pieces of pork belly. He also specially selected some seasonal fruits, thinking that everyone could taste them together after dinner.

Back at the courtyard, He Daqing began to get busy. He washed vegetables and cut meat in the kitchen with skillful and capable movements. The sound of pots and pans colliding echoed over the courtyard, attracting the attention of many neighbors. The children of Xiao Li's family smelled the fragrance, ran to the kitchen door, and curiously poked their heads out. He Daqing saw them and said with a smile: "You go play first, and I'll have something delicious for you later."

Soon, a rich aroma wafted out. He Daqing cooked several home-cooked dishes, including braised fish, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and braised pork. Each dish was delicious. He also specially boiled a pot of chicken soup, thinking that Grandpa Liu was old and it would be good for his health to drink more nourishing food. After finishing all this, he carefully arranged the dishes and placed them neatly on the big round table.

At noon, He Daqing walked into the yard and called out loudly: "Everyone, come out, I'm treating you to dinner today!" The neighbors came out of their homes and were amazed at the delicious food on the table. Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Daqing, your cooking skills are getting better and better. We are so lucky to have a good meal today." Grandpa Liu said with emotion: "We are so lucky to have a good neighbor like you in our courtyard."

Everyone sat together, and the yard was filled with laughter. He Daqing personally picked up food for everyone and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, everyone, eat more. I bought this braised fish at the market early this morning, so it's guaranteed to be fresh." The children of Xiao Li's family ate with their mouths full of oil, and said happily: "Uncle, your food is so delicious!"

He Daqing ate and looked at everyone's smiling faces, feeling extremely satisfied. He felt that such a life was extremely happy. At this moment, He Daqing felt the strong friendship among neighbors, and the courtyard became a warm big family.

After dinner, everyone still sat in the yard and chatted. He Daqing distributed the fruits he bought to everyone. Xiao Li's mother took a bite of the sweet watermelon and said with a smile: "Daqing, you are so thoughtful. You even prepared the fruits so well." He Daqing smiled and said: "As long as everyone likes it, we should get together often in the future."

Days passed by in laughter and joy, and He Daqing felt more and more fulfilled. He not only brought material satisfaction to everyone, but more importantly, he made the neighbors in the courtyard feel the warmth of home. Everyone was like his family, and everyone cared for and helped each other, making life better.

He Daqing has always been very attentive, especially in the cold winter, he always cares about the warmth of everyone in the courtyard. Recently, he found that the temperature dropped quickly at night, and most of the neighbors used old quilts, which were thick but obviously not warm enough. Especially for Grandpa Liu and the children of Xiao Li, their old quilts seemed a bit thin. Thinking of this, He Daqing decided to do something more for everyone and buy some new warm quilts for the neighbors.
