Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing is a steel factory worker. He works hard and leaves home early and comes back late every day, but he always tries his best to take time to take care of He Yushui. He knows that his sister needs not only material care, but also spiritual care. He Yushui has been smart since she was a child, but the shadow of losing her parents has made her sensitive and fragile. He Daqing often hugs the crying He Yushui at night and comforts her softly: "Yushui, don't be afraid, big brother is here." He Yushui will sob and nod in his arms, her eyes full of dependence and trust in her brother.

Life in a courtyard house is not easy, and conflicts between neighbors often occur. He Daqing is upright and fair, and often mediates various conflicts in the yard. Once, neighbor Liu Guangfu quarreled with Qin Huairu over the issue of his child's schooling, and the two families argued fiercely. When He Daqing learned about it, he rushed to the scene immediately. He first calmed the emotions of both parties, then stood in the middle, analyzed the problem rationally, and finally proposed a compromise solution. This way of dealing with problems not only resolved the conflict, but also made the neighbors respect him more.

However, He Daqing's life was not always smooth sailing. For a period of time, the steel plant was not doing well, He Daqing's income was greatly reduced, and the pressure of life increased sharply. In order to prevent He Yushui from suffering, he began to do some odd jobs after get off work, and even set up a stall to sell snacks at the night market. Despite this, He Daqing never showed any fatigue or frustration in front of his sister, and still accompanied her to study and play with a smile every day. He Yushui also knew her brother's hard work. She worked hard in school and her grades were always among the best. She hoped to reduce her brother's burden through her own efforts.

He Yushui grew up and entered adolescence. At this stage, she began to have more thoughts and questions about life. One day, He Yushui came home from school and saw He Daqing repairing a broken window. She walked over and asked softly, "Brother, you work so hard, is it worth it?" He Daqing stopped his work, looked at his sister, and smiled lovingly, "Yushui, you are my only relative. For you, it is worth it. As long as you can be happy, I will be satisfied." He Yushui's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded heavily. She knew that her brother's love was the most solid support on her road to growth.

Time flies, He Yushui was admitted to university, left the courtyard, and went to another city to study. Before leaving, He Daqing filled her luggage with various daily necessities and repeatedly reminded her to pay attention to safety and take care of herself. He Yushui stood at the station, looking at her brother's figure gradually going away, her heart full of gratitude and reluctance. She knew that her brother had given too much for her, and she must work hard to become her brother's pride.

In college, He Yushui not only had excellent grades, but also actively participated in various club activities, living up to her brother's expectations. Every time she went home during the holidays, He Yushui would bring back various gifts, give her brother a big hug, and then tell him about her life in school in detail. He Daqing listened to his sister's story and felt very relieved. He knew that his years of hard work had finally paid off.

After graduating from college, He Yushui found a good job in the city and started living independently. Despite this, she would return to the courtyard every weekend to accompany her brother, help him clean the room and do some housework. She knew that everything in the courtyard was maintained by her brother's hard work, and she wanted to do her best to make her brother's life easier.

He Daqing is getting older and his body is not as strong as before, but his heart is full of satisfaction and pride. He watched He Yushui grow up step by step and become an independent and confident woman. He knows that his years of hard work and dedication are worth it. The neighbors of the courtyard also praised He Daqing, saying that he is not only a good brother, but also a good neighbor. He Daqing smiled and said: "This is what I should do. Yushui is my relative, and the courtyard is my home. I will always protect it."

He Yushui also understands that her brother's love and dedication are the most precious wealth on her road to growth. She is determined that no matter what the future holds, she will stay by her brother's side and let him enjoy his old age. Life in the courtyard is still peaceful and busy, but with the joint efforts of He Daqing and He Yushui, it is full of warmth and love.

After He Yushui started college, He Daqing's life became particularly quiet. Although the courtyard was still full of trivial matters and noise among neighbors, without his sister by his side, He Daqing always felt that something was missing. Whenever he sat on the old rattan chair in the yard and looked at the sky gradually darkening, he couldn't help but miss the past. He thought of the bits and pieces that accompanied He Yushui's growth, and he felt both comforted and a little lost.

There was a white widow in the courtyard. Her husband died early and she lived alone with her children. She often visited He Daqing's house, sometimes bringing homemade snacks and sometimes fresh vegetables. The neighbors saw this and couldn't help but have some comments in their hearts. Someone jokingly said to He Daqing: "Daqing, the white widow takes care of you so much, you should also think about yourself." He Daqing always smiled and didn't comment. He knew that the white widow was a good person, but he only had He Yushui, his sister, in his heart and couldn't hold anything else.

One night, the White Widow knocked on the door again and brought some freshly steamed buns. He Daqing took the buns and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Bai. You are always so polite." The White Widow smiled slightly, walked into the house, and helped He Daqing clean up the house. He Daqing looked at her busy figure, but felt a little uneasy. He knew that the White Widow had a good impression of him, but he didn't have that kind of feeling for her. He didn't want to let this ambiguous relationship continue, so he decided to find an opportunity to make it clear with her.

Widow Bai wiped the table, turned to He Daqing and said, "Daqing, it's not easy for you to live alone. Why don't we get together?" Her voice was full of expectation and temptation, and her eyes showed desire. He Daqing's heart tightened, he didn't know how to answer, but he knew that he couldn't delay any longer.

"Sister Bai, I know you are good to me, and I am grateful to you. But in my heart, there is only my sister Yu Shui. I don't want to be involved in other emotions." He Daqing lowered his head, his voice low and firm. His words stunned the widow, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

Widow Bai was silent for a while, nodded, and forced a smile: "I understand, Daqing. You are a good person, I don't want to force you." She turned and left He Daqing's house, her back looked a little lonely. He Daqing looked at her back, feeling a little sad, but he knew that this was the best outcome.
