He Daqing walked out of the house and saw his son sitting in the yard in a daze, so he walked over and patted his shoulder gently: "Yuzhu, what are you thinking about?"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and forced a smile: "Dad, I'm thinking about your health. The doctor said that you need to rest well and not tire yourself out anymore."

He Daqing sat beside his son, was silent for a while, and said: "Yuzhu, Dad knows you are worried about me, but you have to take care of yourself too. Dad hopes you can find your own happiness and don't let it be delayed because of me."

He Yuzhu nodded, and secretly made up his mind to not only take good care of his father, but also work hard to make his life better. He knew that this road would not be easy, but he was willing to fight for his father and himself.

In the following days, He Yuzhu continued to take good care of He Daqing. The relationship between father and son became closer during this period, and the tacit understanding between them became deeper and deeper. He Yuzhu gradually discovered that although there are many difficulties and challenges in life, as long as they face them together, everything becomes less terrible.

One weekend morning, He Yuzhu and He Daqing decided to go for a walk in the park near the courtyard. The morning sun shone through the leaves and the breeze blew, bringing bursts of fresh air. He Daqing looked at everything around him and sighed, "What a nice day! I feel much better after taking a walk."

He Yuzhu smiled and supported his father: "Yes, Dad, we should go out more often and exercise in the future, and you will get better and better."

He Daqing nodded, with a hint of relief and hope in his eyes. He knew that with his son by his side, everything would be fine. They walked slowly on the path in the park, enjoying the rare tranquility and warmth.

He Yuzhu is He Daqing's cousin. He has always been healthy, hardworking and capable, and is a capable person in the courtyard. However, recently he suddenly claimed that he had a serious illness and was bedridden. This news shocked and disturbed the people in the courtyard. Neighbors began to visit him in an endless stream, some bringing tonics, and some with caring greetings.

"He Daqing, why did Yuzhu suddenly fall ill?" the deaf old lady asked in a low voice as she handed a bowl of hot soup to He Daqing.

He Daqing took the soup, and was also full of doubts. He nodded and replied softly, "Yes, I also find it strange. Yuzhu has always been in good health. It's really worrying that he is so seriously ill this time."

He brought the soup to He Yuzhu's room and saw He Yuzhu lying on the bed, pale and breathing weakly. He Daqing couldn't help but feel heartbroken and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, "Cousin, have a good rest. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll help you."

He Yuzhu forced a smile and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Daqing. My illness is very severe, I'm afraid I need to rest for a while."

He Daqing nodded, but he began to think about He Yuzhu's condition. Recently, He Yuzhu's speech and behavior seemed a little abnormal, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

As time went on, He Daqing discovered more suspicious signs. He Yuzhu occasionally looked relaxed when no one was paying attention, and even secretly did some simple physical work. When neighbors came to visit, he immediately returned to his weak appearance. All this made He Daqing feel confused and uneasy.

One night, He Daqing decided to confront He Yuzhu. He walked into the room and looked at his cousin lying on the bed with mixed feelings. He whispered, "Yuzhu, I know you are not really sick. What are you doing?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, his expression froze, and then he smiled bitterly, "Brother Daqing, you guessed right. I am indeed not sick."

He Daqing looked at him in shock. "Then why did you pretend to be sick? This is a deception to everyone."

He Yuzhu sighed and sat up. "Brother Daqing, I really have something to hide. The situation in the factory has been bad recently, and I'm afraid I'll be laid off. I pretended to be sick to temporarily escape this pressure."

He Daqing felt mixed emotions after hearing this. He understood He Yuzhu's difficulties, but he also knew that this method was not a long-term solution. He said softly: "Yuzhu, this is not a solution to the problem. We can think of other ways together and find a new way out."

He Yuzhu nodded, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes, "Thank you, Brother Daqing. You always care about me like this."

In the following days, He Daqing and He Yuzhu began to look for new job opportunities together, while also thinking about how to get through this difficult period. Their relationship became closer, and they supported each other and faced the challenges of life together.

However, the people in the courtyard were not completely kept in the dark. The clever Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui also noticed He Yuzhu's abnormality and began to doubt the truth of his pretending to be sick. Qin Huairu helped take care of He Yuzhu while secretly observing, trying to uncover the mystery. She thought to herself: "If Yuzhu is really pretending to be sick, what is his reason?"

At the same time, Yan Bugui took more direct action. He found an opportunity to talk to He Daqing, trying to find some clues from him. He Daqing knew the truth, but in order to protect his cousin, he could only deal with it carefully.

One night, He Daqing and Qin Huairu met in the yard. Qin Huairu lowered her voice and asked, "Brother Daqing, Yuzhu's condition seems to be a little bit wrong. Have you noticed anything?"

He Daqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Huai Ru, I'm not sure either, but I'll keep paying attention."

However, as time went on, things became more and more complicated. The neighbors in the courtyard began to speculate, and some even suspected that He Yuzhu was evading some kind of responsibility. Various rumors spread in the courtyard, and the atmosphere became tense and uneasy.

Behind all this, He Daqing remained calm. He knew that only by finding a real solution could He Yuzhu get out of trouble. He decided to be honest with his cousin, face the problem together, and find a way out.

He Daqing secretly made up his mind to take He Yuzhu to the hospital for a thorough examination to dispel the suspicions of the neighbors in the courtyard. He knew that if he delayed any further, the rumors would only increase and the impact on He Yuzhu and the entire family would become more adverse.

One morning, He Daqing got up early and prepared some simple breakfast. He walked to He Yuzhu's room and said softly, "Yuzhu, I will accompany you to the hospital for a checkup today, so that everyone can rest assured."

He Yuzhu was lying on the bed. When he heard this, a trace of hesitation and uneasiness flashed across his face. He whispered, "Brother Daqing, I'm really fine. There's no need to go to the hospital."
