Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

One morning, He Daqing got up early and went out quietly. He went to the department store in the city and carefully selected several high-quality thick quilts. He chose several different colors and patterns to suit the preferences of different families. While selecting, he kept calculating the needs and preferences of each family in his mind, fearing that he would miss something. After paying, he looked at the large and small packages of quilts, feeling both excited and a little nervous, wondering how the neighbors would react after receiving the new quilts.

Back at the courtyard, He Daqing took advantage of the time when everyone was out doing business to deliver quilts to every household. To give everyone a surprise, he wrote a small card on each quilt: "Warm quilts in the cold winter, may you be as warm as spring - Daqing". He placed the quilts neatly on the beds of his neighbors, and thinking of their expressions when they came home and saw the new quilts, He Daqing's face showed a satisfied smile.

In the evening, the courtyard gradually became lively. Aunt Zhang was the first to discover the new quilt on the bed. When she saw the card, she excitedly ran to the yard and shouted, "Daqing, you bought us new quilts again. This is so thoughtful!" He Daqing walked over and said with a smile, "Aunt Zhang, the weather is cold, and the old quilts are not warm enough. These new quilts are just right for us."

When Xiao Li's children came home from school, they also found the new quilt on the bed. They jumped onto the bed happily, hugged the quilt and laughed. Xiao Li's mother was so moved that her eyes were red: "Daqing, you always care about us so much. You are really a great benefactor to our family."

Grandpa Liu also discovered his new quilt. He gently stroked the soft fabric, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes. He Daqing walked up to him and said, "Grandpa Liu, the weather is cold, this quilt is thick, it will keep you warm at night." Grandpa Liu patted his shoulder, his voice choked up a little: "Daqing, you always think about us old bones, thank you so much."

He Daqing felt a warm current in his heart. He saw the smiling faces of his neighbors because of the new quilts, and felt that all the hard work was worth it. At night, he returned to his room and sat by the bed, feeling full of satisfaction and accomplishment. He knew that these were not just a few quilts, but also his care and love for his neighbors.

As night fell, the courtyard gradually became quiet. Every family fell into a sweet dream under the warmth of the new quilt. He Daqing lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, thinking about the future. He knew that his actions not only warmed everyone's body, but also brought them closer. In this courtyard, everyone is not only a neighbor, but also a big family.

As the days passed, the winter wind became more and more severe, but the courtyard was always warm as spring. He Daqing still worked silently at his post, solving various problems in life for his neighbors. Every time he saw the smiles on his neighbors' faces, his heart was filled with strength. Although life in the courtyard was ordinary, in He Daqing's heart, this was his most important world.

One weekend morning, He Daqing was trimming flowers and plants in the yard. Aunt Zhang came over, handed him a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Daqing, everyone says that you are the lucky star of our courtyard. With you, our lives have become better." He Daqing took the tea, smiled, and said: "Aunt, we are all neighbors, and we should help each other. As long as everyone is happy, I am satisfied."

Recently, something happened in the courtyard that made He Daqing unhappy. He Yuzhu, a middle-aged man who has lived in the courtyard for many years, has always had a good relationship with He Daqing, but recently he and He Daqing had a quarrel over some trivial matters. He Yuzhu is straightforward and sometimes speaks without mercy, while He Daqing is a thoughtful person who considers everything carefully. The difference in their personalities has recently intensified the conflict over some trivial matters.

That day, everyone in the courtyard was busy cleaning up in preparation for the upcoming festival. He Daqing got up early as usual and started cleaning the yard. He carefully cleaned every corner, not leaving out any fallen leaves. Just as he was busy and sweating, He Yuzhu came back from outside and saw He Daqing busy in the yard. He casually said, "Daqing, why are you always so busy? Don't you think you are a bit nosy?"

He Daqing was stunned for a moment, stopped sweeping, looked at He Yuzhu, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had good intentions and wanted to make the courtyard look clean and tidy, but he didn't expect He Yuzhu to say that. He thought to himself: Am I not doing this for everyone's good? Why did he say that to me?

But He Daqing did not refute immediately, he just smiled faintly and said: "Yuzhu, everyone is busy preparing for the festival, I also want to do my part, our yard is clean, everyone will be in a better mood."

He Yuzhu snorted and continued, "You are always like this, trying to get involved in everything. Others will think you are too eager to show off." After he said that, he went back to his home, leaving He Daqing alone in the yard, feeling a little depressed and wronged.

A few days later, the neighbors in the courtyard began to prepare for the holiday dinner. He Daqing took the initiative to offer to buy ingredients and prepare dishes. Everyone knew that he was a good cook and expressed their support. But He Yuzhu sneered: "Daqing, you want to be a hero again? You have to do everything, so how can others show their talents?"

He Daqing's heart sank and his brows furrowed slightly, but he still patiently explained: "Yuzhu, everyone is doing this for the good of the festival. I am doing this willingly, not for the sake of showing off."

However, He Yuzhu didn't seem to appreciate it, and continued, "Just do whatever you want, just don't tire yourself out." There was obvious sarcasm in his words, which made He Daqing even more depressed.

At night, He Daqing lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He pondered He Yuzhu's words over and over in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Did he really do too much? Or did He Yuzhu have some misunderstanding about him? He decided to talk to He Yuzhu the next day and talk about his doubts.

The next morning, He Daqing got up early and knocked on He Yuzhu's door. He Yuzhu was a little surprised to see it was him, and asked coldly, "What's the matter, Daqing?"

He Daqing took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm: "Yuzhu, we are old neighbors. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Are you dissatisfied with me in some way? We can talk about it."
