Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing walked forward with a smile and said gently, "Let's go out for a walk and see what you are doing. You have been running out alone lately, and your brother and I are a little worried."

He Yushui felt warm in his heart after hearing his father's words, but he still said stubbornly, "I'm fine, I just came to read a book."

He Yuzhu walked forward, looked at his sister, and said apologetically, "Yushui, I have been busy learning to cook during this period, and I have indeed neglected you. If you are angry, vent it to me, don't keep it to yourself."

He Yushui looked at her brother, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes was gradually replaced by understanding and concern. She actually knew that her brother was learning to cook, and she also understood that this was a family tradition and responsibility. But she felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that her brother seemed to be getting further and further away from her.

"Brother, I'm not angry, I just feel that you have changed. It seems that you are no longer the brother who always takes me out to play." He Yushui said in a low voice, with a trace of grievance in his eyes.

He Yuzhu felt sad when he heard this. He knew his sister was right. He had really put all his energy into learning how to cook and neglected to care for her.

"Yushui, I'm sorry." He Yuzhu said sincerely, his eyes full of apology, "I have indeed changed a little, but I am still your brother. I will spend more time with you in the future and will not let you feel lonely again."

He Yushui looked at her brother's apologetic eyes, and the grievance in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot. She nodded, with a slight smile on her face, "Okay, I forgive you. But you have to promise to take me out to play often in the future."

He Yuzhu was relieved to see his sister finally smile, and a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, I promise."

He Daqing watched the interaction between the brother and sister from the side, and his heart was filled with relief. He knew that He Yuzhu was growing up, and that He Yushui was a sensible child. Seeing them reconcile, he felt that this family was still full of warmth and hope after going through all kinds of changes.

"Now that we've talked about it, let's take Yu Shui out to have some fun and relax today." He Daqing suggested, with a hint of relief in his tone.

He Yushui's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly, "Okay! Dad, brother, where are we going?"

He Yuzhu looked at his sister's expectant eyes, and his heart was also warmed. "Let's go eat something delicious first, and then go to your favorite place for a walk, how about it?"

He Yushui jumped up with joy, "Great, I want to eat the noodles with soybean paste at the corner of the street, brother, you are the best at ordering dishes!"

He Yuzhu looked at his sister's bright smile and felt satisfied. Although he was busy with his studies, he still cherished such time the most.

Along the way, He Yuzhu and He Yushui chatted, while He Daqing walked silently beside them, occasionally saying a few words. People came and went on the streets of the courtyard, and the sun shone through the leaves on the ground, adding a touch of warmth to this ordinary day.

They arrived at the familiar noodle shop, and He Yuzhu skillfully ordered a few of his sister's favorite side dishes. He Yushui ate happily, while He Daqing watched from the side, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Seeing his children together, he felt that the warmth of family was more important than anything else. Although He Yuzhu still had a lot to learn, he knew that his son was growing up step by step and would eventually become a person he could trust and rely on.

After dinner, the brother and sister walked around the street for a while. He Yushui excitedly took her brother's hand and took him to see some newly opened shops and roadside stalls. He Yuzhu was also happy to accompany her and bought some small things from time to time to make her happy.

On this day, they seemed to have returned to the carefree days of the past, and He Yuzhu felt relieved. He knew that no matter how busy the future would be, the company of his family would always be his most important support.

That day, He Daqing returned to the courtyard, thinking about the time he spent with He Yuzhu and He Yushui during the day. Usually, he always focused on teaching cooking skills and rarely had the opportunity to relax and play with the children. Today, these few hours made him feel the long-lost family warmth, but also made him realize that he seemed to have neglected the other side of being a father.

After returning to the kitchen, He Daqing began to prepare dinner as usual. He washed the vegetables skillfully, but his mind was far away. He thought about He Yuzhu's progress in the kitchen and He Yushui's innocent smile. These feelings distracted him a little, and the vegetable leaves in his hand slipped into the basin without paying attention, making a slight sound of water.

He Daqing was stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled his mind back, his eyes fell on the leaves in the water, and he sighed. He rarely got distracted when cooking, which was almost a taboo for a chef. But today, he found that he couldn't concentrate completely, because there was always something in his mind that he couldn't let go of.

He asked himself, was he too strict with He Yuzhu? Although he always believed that strict requirements were to enable his son to grow up quickly, after seeing He Yushui's reaction today, he suddenly doubted whether he had ignored the warmth of the family and the emotional needs of the children.

Under his strict guidance, He Yuzhu did make rapid progress, but along the way, the relationship between father and son became less relaxed and natural. Every time he entered the kitchen, he was serious about how to make his son better, instead of enjoying the time of learning together.

"Maybe I should treat him differently." He Daqing thought to himself, his hands still washing the vegetables mechanically.

He thought of how gentle and considerate He Yuzhu was to his sister in the noodle shop today. He seemed to have not seen such an expression on his son for a long time. Perhaps, it was because of his strictness that the father-son relationship became a little tense. He Daqing began to think about whether he should give his son more encouragement instead of blindly demanding perfection.

"Dad, the vegetables have been washed. Let me help you cut them." He Yuzhu's voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting He Daqing's thoughts.

He Daqing came to his senses and saw his son standing behind him, with his sleeves rolled up, ready to help. He felt warm in his heart, nodded, and handed the washed vegetables to He Yuzhu.

"Okay, you do it. Remember to keep the knife steady and cut evenly." He Daqing did not forget to give a few more instructions. Although his tone was still a little stern, it was a little gentler than before.

He Yuzhu took the dish and began to cut it skillfully. The practice during this period of time made his knife skills improve rapidly. Although he could not reach the same precision as his father, he could already cut very neatly.
