Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Wang Qiang nodded, feeling warm in his heart: "Yes, a lot of things have happened during this period. I think we should plan carefully how to spend our future lives."

Qin Huairu came over, sat next to Wang Qiang, held his hand, and said softly: "Dongxu, I believe that no matter what we encounter in the future, we can face it together. As long as we are together, there is nothing we can't overcome."

Wang Qiang was moved and held Qin Huairu's hand tightly: "Huairu, you are right. We must work hard together to live a good life."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations and hopes for the future. After breakfast, Wang Qiang and Qin Huairu decided to go to the market to buy some daily necessities. They hoped to make their lives more fulfilling and orderly in this way.

In the market, Wang Qiang and Qin Huairu walked side by side, and the lively scene around them made them happy. Wang Qiang helped Qin Huairu pick some fresh vegetables and fruits from time to time, and Qin Huairu patiently explained to Wang Qiang the matching and cooking methods of various ingredients.

"Dongxu, look how fresh this tomato is. We can use it to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Qin Huairu pointed at the tomatoes on the stall and said with a smile.

Wang Qiang nodded and picked a few fresh tomatoes and put them in the basket: "Okay, I like your fried tomato and eggs the best."

Qin Huairu smiled and continued to pick other ingredients. Wang Qiang looked at her serious expression, and his heart was filled with warmth and happiness. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as Qin Huairu was by his side, he would have endless motivation and courage.

After returning home, Wang Qiang and Qin Huairu started to prepare lunch together. They had a good understanding and clear division of labor. After a while, a table of sumptuous food was placed on the table. Looking at the delicious food, Wang Qiang felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Huai Ru, today's food is so delicious." Wang Qiang exclaimed, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "As long as you like it, eat more."

After lunch, Wang Qiang and Qin Huairu sat in the yard, enjoying their rare leisure time. The scenery in the courtyard was still beautiful, and the sun was shining on the ground, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling.

"Dongxu, we should go out for walks like this more often in the future and feel the beauty of life." Qin Huairu snuggled up to Wang Qiang and said softly.

Wang Qiang nodded, his heart full of longing for the future: "Yes, we must enjoy every moment of life."

As the days passed, Wang Qiang and Qin Huairu's life gradually got back on track, but the courtyard was still full of various episodes. Wang Qiang recently discovered that Qin Huairu's son Banggeng seemed to be doing nothing. Although he was still young, Wang Qiang felt that boys should cultivate the spirit of hard work and not always be idle.

One evening, Wang Qiang and Qin Huairu were sitting in the yard chatting while Banggeng was playing nearby. Wang Qiang looked at Banggeng and had some thoughts in his mind, so he said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, I'm thinking, Banggeng is not a child anymore, it's time for him to learn to do something."

Qin Huairu was slightly stunned, looked at Banggeng, and nodded: "You are right, Dongxu. Banggeng should understand some responsibilities now. But what are your plans?"

Wang Qiang thought for a moment and said, "I know a foreman at a construction site who happens to be short of manpower. Why don't we let Banggeng go over there to help move bricks? It can also be considered as some exercise."

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up her mind: "Okay, as long as it's good for Banggeng, I agree."

Wang Qiang called Banggeng over and said to him gently, "Banggeng, Dad and Mom have discussed it and feel that you need to learn to do something now and can't just play all the time. Tomorrow you will come with me to the construction site and help move bricks."

When Bang Geng heard this, he showed a reluctant look on his face: "Carrying bricks? Isn't that very tiring?"

Wang Qiang patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "It's tiring, but it's good for you. A man should have the spirit of enduring hardships and hard work, so that he can have a promising future. Besides, you don't have to be afraid with me here."

Although Bang Geng was a little reluctant, he finally nodded when he saw his parents' insistence: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The next morning, Wang Qiang brought Bang Geng to the construction site. The site was dusty and full of busy workers. Bang Geng was a little nervous because it was his first time seeing such a scene. Wang Qiang took him to see the foreman and briefly introduced the situation.

The foreman was a sturdy middle-aged man. He looked at Banggeng and smiled, "Young man, you look very energetic. Don't worry, it's not difficult to work here. Just follow me and you will get used to it slowly."

Wang Qiang nodded to the foreman: "Then I'll ask you to take good care of it."

The foreman smiled heartily: "No problem, leave it to me."

Wang Qiang took Bang Geng to familiarize himself with the work on the construction site. Moving bricks may seem simple, but it requires a lot of physical strength and skills. Wang Qiang personally demonstrated to Bang Geng, telling him how to use force and how to avoid injury. Bang Geng was a little clumsy at first, but under Wang Qiang's patient guidance, he slowly found the feeling.

"Dad, it's really tiring to move bricks like this." Banggeng said while panting, with beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead.

Wang Qiang smiled and encouraged: "It is tiring for sure, but you have to learn to persevere. Remember, it is the same with everything. As long as you persevere, you will gain something."

Banggeng nodded. Although he was still a little unwilling, he didn't want to disappoint his parents when he saw his father's determined eyes. So he gritted his teeth and continued to move bricks. Wang Qiang watched silently from the side, feeling relieved. He knew that such training was of great significance to Banggeng's growth.

As the days passed, Banggeng gradually got used to life on the construction site. From being flustered at first to being able to move bricks skillfully now, he also felt a sense of accomplishment. Every time he finished a day's work, although he was exhausted, he felt a satisfaction he had never felt before.

One evening, the work on the construction site came to an end, and Bang Geng and Wang Qiang sat aside to rest. Bang Geng looked at his hands, which were a little rough, but full of strength. He looked up at Wang Qiang with a look of admiration in his eyes.

"Dad, now I understand why you asked me to come here." Bang Geng suddenly said, with a hint of understanding in his tone.

Wang Qiang smiled and patted his shoulder: "I'm glad you understand. Remember, never be afraid of hardship at any time, so that you can truly grow."

Banggeng nodded vigorously, full of confidence in the future. He knew that the training during this period not only taught him how to do things, but also made him understand many truths of life.
