Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Dad, today's surprise is really special," He Yuzhu stood beside his father, with a touch of emotion in his eyes, "Thank you for everything you prepared for me, I will remember it forever."

"As long as you like it." He Daqing patted his son's shoulder, with a hint of relief and satisfaction in his eyes, "As long as you are happy, I think everything is worth it."

The night in the courtyard gradually fell silent, with the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of breeze blowing through the leaves, as if composing a peaceful movement for the end of the day. He Daqing stood in front of the kitchen counter, his eyes fell on several small bottles on the table, which were filled with various kinds of chili powder. A new excitement and expectation surged in his heart - he decided to add a special seasoning to tonight's family dinner to add a little different flavor to everything.

Although today's birthday celebration has ended, He Daqing still feels that he has something special to do. He knows that He Yuzhu has always had a special liking for spicy food, and chili peppers are always indispensable in his daily diet. Although he himself does not particularly like spicy food, in order to make the dinner more special, he decided to personally mix some chili seasonings to bring new surprises to his family.

He poured several different types of chili powder into a small bowl and carefully mixed the proportions of each type of chili. His movements were gentle and practiced, and although this was his first time trying this combination, he was full of confidence and anticipation. Every time he stirred, he carefully observed the color and smell of the spices to ensure that they would achieve the best taste.

He Daqing's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that this was not only to make the dinner more delicious, but also a respect and understanding for his son's preferences. He hoped that through this effort, he could bring a new experience to his family and make the dinner atmosphere more relaxed and enjoyable.

"I hope these chili seasonings will suit my taste." He Daqing whispered to himself, with a hint of uneasiness and anticipation in his heart.

There was a burst of aroma coming from the kitchen, and He Daqing used a small spoon to carefully sprinkle the seasoning on the dishes on the table. His movements were gentle and careful, fearing that too much chili powder would cover the taste of the dishes themselves. Although he was not familiar with the use of chili, he tried his best to make every step perfect, hoping that this special seasoning would be liked by everyone.

At this moment, He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen and saw his father busy at work. He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Dad, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Yuzhu, you're here." He Daqing turned around with a smile on his face, "I'm preparing some special seasonings for dinner. Although today is over, I want to bring you a little different taste."

"Special seasoning?" A hint of surprise flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes. "Dad, you can actually prepare seasoning?"

"Actually, this is my first time trying this," He Daqing smiled shyly, "I know you like spicy food, so I want to bring you some new tastes."

He Yuzhu felt a warm current in his heart. He didn't expect his father to prepare chili seasoning for him on such a special day. Although he knew that his father didn't particularly like spicy food, he was very touched by his father's thoughtfulness. He took a deep breath, and a hint of affection flashed in his eyes.

"Dad, you are so thoughtful." He Yuzhu's voice was full of gratitude. He looked into his father's eyes with respect in his heart. "Thank you for doing this for me. I am really touched."

"This is what I should do." There was a hint of warmth in He Daqing's voice. He looked at his son's face and felt satisfied. "As long as you like it, any effort is worth it."

At dinner time, the family sat around the table and enjoyed the dishes carefully prepared by He Daqing. Each dish was sprinkled with some chili seasoning, exuding an enticing aroma. He Daqing sat aside, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes. He didn't know how everyone would react, but his heart was full of expectations for the result.

"Dad, your seasoning is so special." He Yuzhu tasted the dish, with a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes, "It tastes great, the spiciness is just right, it really suits my taste."

"Really?" He Daqing smiled, his heart filled with satisfaction and joy. "As long as you like me, I think everything is worth it."

He Daqing was extremely pleased with the appreciation from his family. The atmosphere of the dinner was relaxed and pleasant, and everyone spoke highly of this special seasoning. He Daqing silently observed the reactions of his family members, his heart filled with pride and happiness.

As dinner was over, He Daqing and He Yuzhu cleaned up the table together and talked about their experiences today. He Daqing looked at his son's happy smile and felt a deep sense of satisfaction in his heart. He knew that the special thing about this day was not only the birthday celebration, but also the deep affection and support between them.

"Dad, today's surprise is really great." He Yuzhu said with emotion while arranging the tableware, "I always feel that these small details in life are the most worth cherishing."

"Yes, every little detail in life is a reflection of our care for each other." He Daqing's voice was filled with warmth. He looked into his son's eyes, his heart full of gratitude. "I think these special moments are our most precious memories."

At this moment, the night in the courtyard seemed particularly peaceful and warm. He Daqing and He Yuzhu stood together, enjoying each other's company and support. They knew that there would be many challenges and difficulties in their future lives, but this deep affection between them would always be their driving force.

The tranquility of the courtyard was broken by the sound of insects at night, and the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, reflecting a gentle glow. He Daqing sat in the study, and the breeze outside the window blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. His mood did not relax because of this tranquility, but became heavier. He noticed that some small things at home recently made him a little troubled, especially some of Xu Damao's behavior towards He Yuzhu.

He Daqing didn't often sit down and think about these issues, but recently he found that Xu Damao seemed to always find fault with He Yuzhu from time to time and acted unfriendly to him. This situation was not serious, but it always made him feel uneasy. He knew that Xu Damao was a straightforward person with sharp words, but this could not be an excuse for his injustice to He Yuzhu. He felt more and more distressed about his son's dissatisfaction and grievances, which forced him to sit down and think seriously.
