After they paid, they walked out of the shoe store. Lou Xiao'e felt her steps were much lighter in her new shoes. She looked at He Daqing gratefully and said, "Uncle Daqing, you are so kind to us and always think about us."

He Daqing smiled and waved his hand, "Xiao'e, you young people work hard, and all I can do is take care of your lives. This is my intention, as long as you like it."

As they walked home, Lou Xiao'e's heart was filled with warmth and gratitude. She knew that He Daqing was not only a good father, but also a loving and wise elder. Under his care, the whole courtyard was filled with the warmth of home.

When they returned to the courtyard, He Yuzhu was already waiting for them in the yard. He saw Lou Xiao'e wearing new shoes and asked with a smile: "Xiao'e, your new shoes are so beautiful. Are they comfortable?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded with a happy smile on her face, "Yes, Brother Yuzhu, Uncle Daqing took me to buy it, it's very comfortable."

He Yuzhu looked at his father with gratitude in his heart. He knew that He Daqing always silently gave to them, whether it was the little things in life or emotional care, he was meticulous. He walked up, held his father's hand, and said solemnly: "Uncle Daqing, thank you, your care and love for us, we will definitely remember it in our hearts."

He Daqing patted his son's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yuzhu, Xiao'e, you are my family, and it is my duty to take care of you. As long as you live well, I will be satisfied."

After dinner, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e sat in the yard, looking at the stars in the night sky, their hearts full of longing for the future. He Daqing also sat beside them, drinking hot tea and enjoying this quiet time.

"Yuzhui, Xiao'e, as a family, we can overcome all difficulties as long as we work together." He Daqing said gently, his eyes full of determination.

He Yuzhu nodded, held Lou Xiaoe's hand, and said gently: "Uncle Daqing, don't worry, we will cherish our current life and work together to make this family better and better."

Lou Xiao'e leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder and said softly, "Yes, Brother Yuzhu, Uncle Daqing, with you around, I feel that life is full of hope and happiness."

As night fell, the courtyard gradually became quiet. After dinner, He Yuzhu told He Daqing and Lou Xiaoe that he wanted to go out for a walk. He Daqing nodded and told him to come back early. He Yuzhu walked out of the courtyard, and He Daqing stood at the door, watching him leave.

However, He Daqing was a little worried. He knew that Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu had some contact recently. Although He Yuzhu never mentioned it in detail, as a father, he could sense the subtle changes in his son's heart. He Daqing felt a little uneasy and decided to follow and see.

He Daqing quietly followed He Yuzhu and saw him walking towards a secluded alley from a distance. Not long after, Qin Huairu appeared at the entrance of the alley. The two stood together, talking in low voices.

He Daqing hid in the dark, trying not to be discovered. He saw Qin Huairu seemed to be saying something to He Yuzhu, with a serious expression. He Yuzhu stood aside, nodding and frowning, looking a little hesitant and entangled.

He Daqing's heart tightened, and he thought to himself: What is going on between Yuzhu and Qin Huairu? He knew that Qin Huairu was a smart woman, but her personality was sometimes unpredictable. He Daqing was worried that He Yuzhu would get into trouble because of this.

He listened carefully to their conversation, trying to capture some key information. Qin Huairu's voice came: "Yuzhu, I know you are a good person, but there are some things you must think about. We can't make the wrong decision because of emotional impulse."

He Yuzhu's voice was low and firm: "Huai Ru, I understand what you mean. What we need now is calmness and rationality. No matter what, I will make my choice."

He Daqing was relieved when he heard this. Although he didn't know the details, at least He Yuzhu seemed calm and rational. He quietly retreated to the alley entrance, not wanting to disturb their conversation.

Back at the courtyard, He Daqing sat on a rattan chair in the yard, still feeling a little uneasy. He knew that He Yuzhu had grown up and had his own judgment and decision, but as a father, he couldn't help but worry about his son's future.

Not long after, He Yuzhu came back. He walked into the yard and saw his father sitting there with a trace of fatigue on his face. He walked over and said softly, "Uncle Daqing, I'm back."

He Daqing nodded and asked with concern: "Yuzhu, how about taking a walk outside? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Uncle Daqing, it's nothing serious, just some small problems. I will take care of it, don't worry."

He Daqing looked at his son. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he decided to respect He Yuzhu's privacy and decision. "Okay, Yuzhu, I believe you can handle it. Remember, if you need any help, please tell me at any time."

He Yuzhu nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Daqing. I understand."

Late at night, He Daqing lay in bed, thinking about a lot of things. He thought about the conversation between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, and felt a little worried. He knew that there would always be various challenges and tests in life, but he believed that as long as He Yuzhu could face them calmly and rationally, everything would be fine.

The next morning, the sun shone into the courtyard. He Daqing got up early and prepared a hearty breakfast. He knew that no matter what happened last night, today was still a new beginning. He wanted to continue to support and care for this family in his own way.

During breakfast, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e both felt He Daqing's care. He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart, knowing that his father had been silently supporting him all along. He decided that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would face them bravely and live up to his father's expectations.

The next morning, the sun shone through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground of the courtyard. He Daqing was tidying up the flowers and plants in the yard while thinking about what happened last night. He could see that there was some complicated entanglement between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Especially when he saw Lou Xiao'e's gentle and kind eyes, he felt that he had to stand up for her and not let He Yuzhu hurt her because of external interference.

He Yuzhu came out of the room and saw his father busy in the yard, so he went over to help. He felt a little heavy in his heart, because the conversation with Qin Huairu last night made him fall into deep thought. Just as he lowered his head to work, He Daqing suddenly stood up, stared at He Yuzhu, and said in a serious tone: "Yuzhu, I have something to tell you."
