Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

At this time, neighbor Aunt Wang came over, saw He Daqing, and greeted him with a smile: "Old He, you got up so early today. Seeing that your yard is peaceful, I am happy too."

He Daqing smiled and responded: "Yes, I made a pot of dumpling soup today and everyone enjoyed it. I also feel that life is full of fun."

Aunt Wang nodded and said, "Your family is really blessed. The children are all sensible, and you can enjoy a peaceful life."

He Daqing said modestly: "The children are really good. They are busy with work every day, but they still take care of an old man like me. I can only do my part and make some delicious food for them."

Aunt Wang said with emotion: "Your life is really enviable. Such a simple and happy life is the most important."

He Daqing nodded in agreement. He looked at the flowers and plants blooming in the yard, and his heart was full of expectations for the future. He knew that as long as the family worked together, their lives would definitely get better and better.

Not long after, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were ready to go out to work. Before leaving, He Yuzhu told his father: "Uncle Daqing, you should have a good rest today and don't get tired. If you need anything, we will buy it after we get off work."

He Daqing smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Yuzhu, Xiao'e, you guys go to work and I will take care of the family affairs."

Watching them leave, He Daqing felt warm in his heart. He knew that his son and daughter-in-law were working hard for the family, and what he had to do was to provide them with a warm harbor. Every day in the courtyard, though ordinary, was full of happiness and hope. This simple and real life was what he cherished most and what satisfied him the most.

In the afternoon, the sun shone warmly on the bluestone slabs of the courtyard. He Daqing sat on a rattan chair in the yard, rocking gently. He thought to himself that He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were busy with work every day, and eating some cakes occasionally could bring them some sweet surprises. So he decided to go out to the cake shop on the street to buy some cakes they liked.

Thinking of this, He Daqing felt happy. He stood up, prepared his things, and walked towards the street. The alleys near the courtyard were winding, but full of the breath of life. He Daqing walked on the familiar street, looking at the old shops on both sides, and felt very close to it.

Arriving at the pastry shop, He Daqing pushed the door open and entered. The aroma of the shop filled his nose, and all kinds of exquisite pastries were neatly placed in the glass counter. When the owner of the pastry shop saw He Daqing, he greeted him warmly, "Uncle He, how come you have time to buy pastries today?"

He Daqing responded with a smile: "I wanted to buy some sweets for the children at home. They work hard every day, and eating something sweet occasionally can make them happy."

The boss nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle He is such a good father. What do you want to buy? We have just launched several new products, which are very popular."

He Daqing walked to the counter, looked at the cakes carefully, and selected a few that He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe usually liked, as well as some new ones. He said, "Pack them all for me. The children will definitely like them."

The boss skillfully wrapped the cakes one by one and handed them to He Daqing, "Uncle He, take them. Welcome to come again next time."

He Daqing left the pastry shop with a bag of pastries, feeling very satisfied. On the way home, he couldn't help but imagine how happy He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e would be when they saw the pastries, and he was full of anticipation.

Back at the courtyard, he carefully placed the cakes on the table, intending to give them a surprise when they got off work. The afternoon passed slowly in the warm waiting. He Daqing sat in the yard, feeling the autumn breeze, feeling particularly relaxed.

In the evening, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e finally returned home. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a sweet fragrance and looked at the table curiously. Seeing those exquisite pastries, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"Wow, Uncle Daqing, these pastries look so delicious!" Lou Xiao'e said excitedly.

He Yuzhu also walked forward with a smile, "Uncle Daqing, you bought us so many delicious foods again, it's really thoughtful of you."

He Daqing looked at their smiling faces and felt extremely satisfied. "Yuzhu, Xiao'e, you work so hard every day, eat something sweet to replenish your energy. Come and try it and see if it suits your taste."

Lou Xiao'e couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cake, took a bite, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face, "Uncle Daqing, this cake is so delicious, the ones you picked are really great!"

He Yuzhu also tasted it and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Uncle Daqing, we really like what you pick every time. You really understand our tastes."

He Daqing looked at their happy faces and smiled from ear to ear, "As long as you like it. As long as you are happy, everything I do is worth it."

After eating the cakes, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe decided to go for a walk together. He Daqing wanted to go with them, but he knew that young people needed their own space, so he smiled and said, "You go ahead, I'll rest at home for a while."

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e walked out of the courtyard, holding hands, enjoying this rare leisure time. They strolled in the familiar alleys and talked about what they had seen and felt during the day.

"Brother Yuzhu, Uncle Daqing is so nice. He thinks about us every day." Lou Xiao'e said with emotion.

He Yuzhu nodded, his eyes full of gratitude, "Yes, Xiao'e, Uncle Daqing has always been our support. We must also work harder to give him a better life."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder, "Brother Yuzhu, I believe that as long as we are together, we can overcome any difficulties. Uncle Daqing will definitely be proud of us."

As the night deepened, they returned to the courtyard and saw He Daqing sitting in the yard with a satisfied smile on his face. They walked over and sat beside him. He Yuzhu said softly, "Uncle Daqing, we are back. Do you want to take a rest? You have been busy all day."

He Daqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, I'm fine sitting here. You've been tired all day, so go to bed early."

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e nodded, their hearts filled with warmth and gratitude. They knew that no matter what they encountered, there was a warm harbor at home, and He Daqing would always be their support and pillar.

The next morning, the courtyard was sunny and bright, and He Daqing woke up early. He thought that he hadn't been to the market for a long time, and today was a good day, so he could go buy some fresh ingredients with He Yuzhu. He walked to the door of He Yuzhu's room and knocked gently.
