Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, "Okay, let's get started."

They started a busy day, He Yuzhu demonstrated and explained each step in detail. Qin Huairu studied hard and asked questions from time to time. He Yuzhu always answered patiently and never got tired of it. Seeing Qin Huairu studying hard, he felt an inexplicable satisfaction and pride in his heart.

During the learning process, Qin Huairu not only had to master the use of various seasonings, but also learn how to control the heat and how to match the ingredients. All of these required her to spend a lot of time and energy, but she never felt it was hard, because she knew that only in this way could she truly learn real cooking skills.

Whenever she made a successful dish, He Yuzhu would always give her encouragement and praise. These encouragement and praise were great motivation for her, making her work harder to learn and improve.

"Brother Yuzhu, what do you think of the dish I made today?" Qin Huairu brought the dish she had just made to He Yuzhu and asked expectantly.

He Yuzhu tasted it carefully, smiled and nodded, "Very good, Huairu, you have mastered it very well now. Keep working hard, I believe you will do better."

Qin Huairu was filled with joy and pride when she heard these words. She knew that she was getting closer and closer to her goal, and all this was inseparable from He Yuzhu's help and guidance.

As time went by, Qin Huairu's cooking skills improved, and the dishes she made became more and more popular. People in the courtyard also began to look at her with new eyes. She was no longer the weak woman who had just divorced, but a confident, strong and charming woman.

He Yuzhu saw this and felt extremely relieved. He knew that Qin Huairu had walked out of the trough of life and ushered in a new life that belonged to her. And he also found the meaning of his life in this relationship between master and apprentice.

On a quiet night, the courtyard was still filled with a warm atmosphere. He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu sat at the stone table in the yard, chatting and recalling every detail of the past few days.

"Brother Yuzhu, I am really grateful to you. Without you, I don't know how I would have gotten through this." Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu with sincerity in her eyes.

He Yuzhu smiled and patted her shoulder, "Huai Ru, don't say that. This is all the result of your own efforts. I'm just giving you some help."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully, "No matter what, Brother Yuzhu, I will never forget your help to me."

He Yuzhu felt a little warm in his heart. He knew that Qin Huairu had become an indispensable part of his life. The relationship between the two had surpassed the simple master-disciple relationship and had become a deep friendship.

As the night deepened, the lights in the courtyard gradually went out and people fell asleep. He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu also returned to their rooms to rest.

Lying on the bed, He Yuzhu recalled every detail of this period of time, and felt extremely satisfied and happy. He knew that he not only helped Qin Huairu, but also found his own value and meaning in the process. This feeling cannot be replaced by any money or fame.

Qin Huairu was lying on the bed, thinking about her future. She knew that her life had changed dramatically, and this change was due to He Yuzhu's help and guidance. She secretly made up her mind to continue working hard and live up to He Yuzhu's expectations of her.

The next morning, the courtyard returned to its former bustle and bustle. He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu once again plunged into their busy lives. They studied together, worked together, and faced various challenges in life together. Every day was a new beginning, and every day was full of hope and expectation.

In the courtyard, the story of He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu continues. This small courtyard has witnessed their growth and changes, as well as the deep feelings between them. They use their hearts and hands to weave their own beautiful life.

People living in the Siheyuan have become more united and warmer because of their existence. Everyone has found their own home and happiness here. And this ordinary and fulfilling life is the most beautiful part of the Siheyuan.

The morning in the courtyard was still noisy, and the neighbors started a new day of busy life in this small space. He Yuzhu got up early, put on an apron, and started preparing for the day. Today, he planned to go to the market to buy some cabbage and ginger, prepare some fresh ingredients, and teach Qin Huairu to make some winter home-cooked dishes.

Pushing open the gate, the morning air was a little cool. He Yuzhu took a deep breath and felt extremely peaceful and satisfied. Although life was simple, he enjoyed it, especially seeing Qin Huairu and her son living better and better, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

Walking in the familiar alley, He Yuzhu thought about today's menu: hot and sour cabbage, chicken stewed with ginger sauce, and a classic home-cooked stew. He wanted to teach Qin Huairu how to make delicious dishes with simple ingredients. This is not only a skill, but also a wisdom of life.

Arriving at the market, He Yuzhu was picking fresh Chinese cabbage and ginger in front of a stall. As he was picking, he was thinking carefully about how to make these ordinary ingredients more delicious. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Brother Yuzhu, are you here to buy vegetables too?" Qin Huairu came over with a smile. She was wearing simple clothes, but she looked full of energy.

"Yes, I'm going to teach you how to cook some new dishes today." He Yuzhu responded with a smile.

Qin Huairu nodded, "Okay, I've always wanted to learn how to make spicy and sour cabbage."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then I will fulfill your wish today."

The two of them picked ingredients in the market together, chatting and laughing. Qin Huairu asked He Yuzhu about the selection and matching of ingredients from time to time, and He Yuzhu patiently answered them one by one. The tacit understanding between them became deeper and deeper, and their hearts gradually became closer as they got along day after day.

Back at the courtyard, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu started to work together. He Yuzhu took out a large chopping board and started to process the Chinese cabbage and ginger. Qin Huairu helped by the side, carefully observing every detail.

"Huai Ru, the key to making hot and sour cabbage lies in the proportion of seasonings and the control of heat." He Yuzhu said while cutting vegetables.

Qin Huairu nodded, "Brother Yuzhu, I will remember it."

After He Yuzhu finished cutting the vegetables, he began to prepare the hot and sour sauce. He took out the prepared seasonings, poured them into the bowl one by one, and stirred them carefully. Qin Huairu watched intently and asked questions from time to time, and He Yuzhu always answered them patiently.
