Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing nodded and looked towards the field. Sure enough, he saw groups of small frogs jumping on the wetland. Some lay quietly in the grass, while others jumped up and quickly disappeared into the puddles. Their skin looked particularly bright green in the sun, as if they had blended in with the surrounding environment.

"These little guys are really active." He Daqing couldn't help but laugh, and his mood seemed to become a little more relaxed because of this moment of unexpected surprise. He looked at the group of frogs, and suddenly felt that the existence of these little creatures seemed to remind him that life is always tenacious and full of hope, even in such an inconspicuous corner.

He Yuzhu also squatted down, looked carefully at the frogs playing in the puddle, and said with a smile: "Uncle, when I was a child I loved catching frogs. I ran around in the fields all day and accidentally fell several times." He remembered the naughty deeds in his childhood and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Yes, childhood was simple, but it was the happiest time." He Daqing also felt a sense of nostalgia, and those memories of his youth seemed to come back to him. They used to be carefree, chasing and playing in the fields, and it seemed that the world back then was much simpler than it is now.

"Uncle, do you think these frogs are also enjoying their lives?" He Yuzhu asked, looking up with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He Daqing listened to his words and his thoughts became heavier. He knew that He Yuzhu had inadvertently aroused his emotions. Although these frogs in front of him lived in such a simple environment, they never seemed to worry about survival. They only needed to jump in the paddy fields, catch insects, and live the most primitive and satisfying life. And what about him? Life brought him too much complexity and pain, and sometimes even made him doubt the meaning of life. Perhaps, he should learn from these frogs and learn to find his own peace in a simple life.

"Maybe, their lives are not as complicated as ours, but they also have their own happiness." He Daqing said slowly, with a bit of emotion in his tone. He sighed in his heart, maybe the essence of life is like this, there is no need to pursue too much, just learn to enjoy the moment of peace.

"Uncle, you're right. Many things in life don't need to be so complicated." He Yuzhu nodded, obviously touched. Then he stood up, dusted himself off, and suggested, "Let's pick the peppers quickly. I'll cook for you when we get home. Let's keep it simple today and stop thinking about those annoying things."

He Daqing smiled slightly, feeling somewhat relieved. He knew that He Yuzhu was deliberately changing the subject so that he would not fall into those heavy thoughts. So, he said no more and continued to walk forward with He Yuzhu.

However, when they walked into the fields again, the croaking of the frogs seemed to become louder. He Daqing couldn't help but look back and saw the frogs jumping in the paddy fields. He was suddenly moved beyond words. These little lives seemed to be showing him the power and beauty of life. Even in such an inconspicuous corner, life is still full of vitality and hope.

"Perhaps, we should really learn to let go and enjoy every moment of life." He Daqing thought silently in his heart, and his steps became more relaxed.

After walking for a while, they came to another pepper field. He Yuzhu leaned over and picked a bright red pepper, then turned back and said to He Daqing with a smile: "Uncle, look, the peppers in this field are also growing well. We really have a good harvest today."

He Daqing looked at the peppers in He Yuzhu's hand, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. He nodded, and the depressed emotions in his heart seemed to slowly dissipate with these simple labors. Perhaps, life is like this, finding fun in the ordinary and experiencing satisfaction in simplicity. He no longer thought about those tangled things, but focused on the labor and harvest in front of him.

He Daqing lowered his head and continued to pick peppers. His movements were still meticulous and slow, as if he was enjoying every moment of labor. At this moment, he felt a long-lost peace. Many things in life do not need to be pursued deliberately. Perhaps it is in these simplest moments that people can truly feel the beauty of life.

They worked in the pepper field for most of the day, until the basket was full of peppers. He Daqing stood up with satisfaction and patted the dirt on his hands. At this moment, he no longer felt the depression of last night, but a simple sense of satisfaction.

"Uncle, we have harvested so much today. We must have a good meal when we go back." He Yuzhu looked at the full basket of peppers and a proud smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, today's harvest is good." He Daqing nodded in agreement, and the heavy feeling in his heart finally dissipated completely. He knew that many problems in life may not need to be solved deliberately. As long as you can find happiness and satisfaction in simple things, many troubles will disappear.

As they picked up their baskets and prepared to go home, He Daqing suddenly heard a few frogs croaking in the distance. He looked back and saw the frogs still jumping happily in the paddy field. Suddenly, he felt warm in his heart, as if these little creatures were conveying a message to him - everything in life will eventually pass, and all he needs to do is learn to enjoy the present and find his own peace.

As the sun sets, the sky is tinged with a deep orange afterglow, and the mountains in the distance appear even more beautiful in the soft light. He Daqing and He Yuzhu carry baskets full of peppers and walk on the path home with brisk and steady steps. Along the way, He Yuzhu stops from time to time, pointing to the wild flowers or streams on the roadside, and shares with He Daqing the fun stories of playing here when he was a child.

He Daqing listened to He Yuzhu's words, but his heart gradually became heavy. His eyes fell on He Yuzhu's energetic face, and he couldn't help but feel a complex emotion surging in his heart. He Yuzhu has grown up, become sensible, and become more and more reliable, but this also made He Daqing begin to realize that some words must be said earlier. He knew very well that he could not accompany He Yuzhu for a lifetime, and He Yushui was still young, and the two siblings would need to support each other in the future.

A warm feeling welled up in his heart, as if these little creatures were conveying some message to him.
