Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

The relationship between the two has become stronger with the passage of time. They have experienced ups and downs together and faced the challenges of life together. Although life is not always smooth, they always support each other and never give up their commitment to each other.

One winter evening, Jia Dongxu proposed to Qin Huairu. He took out a simple but affectionate ring, knelt on one knee, and said affectionately: "Huairu, marry me, let me take care of you for the rest of your life."

Qin Huairu burst into tears, and she nodded and agreed to Jia Dongxu's proposal. At that moment, the old locust tree in the courtyard seemed to bless them, and its branches and leaves swayed gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Life after marriage was not all smooth sailing. Jia Dongxu's work became increasingly busy, and he had to work overtime frequently, while Qin Huairu stayed at home to take care of her younger brother and the family. Although their feelings were still deep, the trivialities and pressures of life gradually made them feel exhausted.

One rainy night, Jia Dongxu dragged his tired body back home and found Qin Huairu sitting under the lamp with a tired look on her face. He walked over distressed and hugged her gently: "Huairu, thank you for your hard work."

Qin Huairu snuggled in Jia Dongxu's arms and sighed softly: "Dongxu, sometimes I really feel so tired, I really want you to accompany me more."

Jia Dongxu felt guilty. He held Qin Huairu's hand tightly and said, "I'm sorry, Huairu. I will try to spend more time with you. I know you have paid a lot for this family. I will definitely work harder to make our lives better."

The two people's hearts are close again, and they decide to face all the difficulties in life together. Although the road ahead is still full of thorns, they believe that as long as they love each other, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.

As time went by, Jia Dongxu's career gradually got on track, he got a chance to be promoted, and his salary also increased. This made Qin Huairu feel a little relieved, and life seemed to be developing in the direction they expected.

However, just when they thought everything was getting better, an accident changed their fate. Jia Dongxu was seriously injured in a factory accident and was rushed to the hospital. Qin Huairu rushed to the hospital anxiously after hearing the news, and looked at her husband who was unconscious on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

The doctor told her that Jia Dongxu's injuries were serious and he needed long-term rehabilitation treatment. This was undoubtedly a double blow to the already poor family. Qin Huairu suppressed her grief and resolutely decided to take on the responsibility of taking care of Jia Dongxu.

When the neighbors of the courtyard learned about this, they all lent a helping hand. They spontaneously organized donations to help Jia Dongxu with his treatment. The old professor even personally contacted some charities to secure additional funding for them.

With everyone's help, Jia Dongxu finally escaped from life danger, but his body could never recover to its former state. Faced with this reality, Qin Huairu did not give up. She decided to continue to take care of Jia Dongxu and support the family with her love and strength.

Qin Huairu's face gradually lost its former luster, but her eyes became more determined. She knew that she had to be strong because she was the pillar of the family. Every night when everyone was still, she sat alone by the bed, looking at Jia Dongxu sleeping soundly, with mixed feelings in her heart. She recalled the sweetness when they first met, and recalled that carefree time, and couldn't help crying.

Qin Huairu secretly vowed in her heart that no matter how difficult it was, she would not give up Jia Dongxu. She believed that as long as they were together, they could overcome all difficulties. Every morning, she would get up early, prepare a day's diet for Jia Dongxu, and then rush to the workplace. Despite the heavy workload, she never complained.

There is another resident in the courtyard, Xu Damao. He is a cheerful and enthusiastic person. Xu Damao runs a small restaurant in the courtyard and is always busy on weekdays. Seeing the situation of Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu, he also felt very sympathetic.

One evening, Xu Damao finished a day's work and walked into Qin Huairu's home with a basket of steaming hot meals. There was a knock on the door. Qin Huairu opened the door and saw Xu Damao standing outside. He smiled and said to her, "Sister Qin, I brought you some food. I haven't had time to eat these days. Come and try it."

Qin Huairu was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted. She said gratefully, "Da Mao, you are so polite. You really helped us a lot. Thank you."

Xu Damao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, we are all neighbors, it's only natural. You have worked hard during this period, hurry up and eat something hot to replenish your body."

Qin Huairu looked at the basket full of food and felt warm in her heart. She invited Xu Damao into the house and they sat at the table together. While eating, Xu Damao chatted with Qin Huairu. He learned more about Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu, and couldn't help but respect this strong woman.

Xu Damao asked softly, "Sister Qin, how is Dongxu now? If you need any help, just let me know."

Qin Huairu sighed and said slowly: "Dongxu's body is still recovering. The doctor said it will take a long time to recover. Thank you for your concern. We will try our best to get through it."

Xu Damao nodded, and secretly decided to take better care of them. He looked into Qin Huairu's eyes and said firmly, "Sister Qin, you don't have to worry. Our neighbors in the courtyard will support you. If you have any difficulties, come to me and I will definitely help."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that with a neighbor like Xu Damao, she was not alone. Although life was still difficult, she felt the warmth from the neighbors in the courtyard.

As time went by, Jia Dongxu's health gradually improved, but he still couldn't work like before. Qin Huairu had to continue working hard to make a living. Although her body was exhausted, her spirit remained firm.

One night, Qin Huairu lay in bed, looking at Jia Dongxu who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help thinking about the future. She knew that she couldn't go on like this, and she had to find a balance to take good care of Jia Dongxu and support the family.

Jia Dongxu seemed to sense her troubles. Half asleep and half awake, he held Qin Huairu's hand and said softly, "Huairu, don't worry. I will be fine. Let's work hard together."

Qin Huairu was awakened by his voice. She held Jia Dongxu's hand tightly and nodded gently: "Dongxu, I believe you. We will get through this difficult time together."
