Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

When Wang Qiang arrived at the suburbs, he was delighted by the scenery by the lake. The fresh air, the turquoise water, and the dense woods and beautiful flowers surrounding it made him feel relaxed and at peace. Wang Qiang took a deep breath and felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and relaxation.

"It's so beautiful here, Xiao'e, thank you for bringing me here." Wang Qiang said gratefully.

Lou Xiao'e looked at him with a smile, "As long as you like it. Brother Qiang, you are too busy with work. You should give yourself more time to relax."

Wang Qiang nodded, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth. He knew that with the care and companionship of his friends, he would be able to overcome all the difficulties in life and embrace a better future.

Wang Qiang and Lou Xiao'e walked and chatted by the lake, and time passed quickly without them noticing. The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the lake reflected the golden light, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling.

"Brother Qiang, I really envy you for being able to take a relaxing walk like this." Lou Xiaoe said with emotion, "I am usually always busy with work, and it is rare for me to have such an opportunity."

Wang Qiang nodded. "Yes, the busy days usually make people breathless. I feel a lot more relaxed today because I can take a walk like this."

The two continued to walk by the lake, enjoying the quiet moment. Suddenly, Wang Qiang's stomach made a slight gurgling sound. He smiled awkwardly, "It seems that the breakfast just now did not fill my stomach completely. I am a little hungry now."

Lou Xiao'e laughed, "Then let's go to the nearby bakery to buy some bread. I remember there is a good bakery here."

"Good idea, let's go." Wang Qiang agreed happily.

The two walked out of the lake and headed towards the bakery. On the way, Lou Xiao'e kept introducing nearby attractions and interesting places to Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang listened with great interest and his mood became cheerful.

Soon, they arrived at the bakery. The shop was not big, but there was an exquisite sign hanging at the door. Through the window, you could see all kinds of freshly baked bread and pastries on display. The rich aroma of bread was mouth-watering.

"It smells so good." Wang Qiang took a deep breath and exclaimed.

"Yes, this bread is very famous. Let's go in and take a look." Lou Xiao'e said.

They walked into the store, which was decorated in a warm and simple style. The counter was filled with all kinds of bread and desserts. Wang Qiang couldn't help himself when he saw these delicacies. He picked out a few breads that looked particularly tempting and added some snacks.

"Boss, I want all of these." Wang Qiang said to the boss behind the counter.

The boss smiled and nodded, packing the selected bread into a bag, "These are freshly baked, guaranteed to be fresh."

Wang Qiang paid and walked out of the store with the bag. Lou Xiaoe looked at his bag full of bread and said with a smile, "You are such a food lover."

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "After a busy day, I have to reward myself. Besides, these breads look really delicious."

The two found a small park nearby, sat on a bench, and enjoyed the fresh bread. Wang Qiang took a bite, and the aroma and soft texture of the bread made him feel very satisfied. He handed a piece to Lou Xiaoe, "Try it too, it's really delicious."

Lou Xiao'e took the bread, took a bite, and nodded approvingly, "Mm, it's really delicious. It seems you have good taste."

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "I usually like to study all kinds of food, and this bakery did not disappoint me."

They ate and talked, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Wang Qiang felt that today's experience made him relax a lot, and the pressure in his heart was also relieved a lot. Lou Xiaoe's company and care made him feel a long-lost warmth.

"Brother Qiang, if you have time in the future, we can go out more often. Life should not be just about work. There are many wonderful things waiting for us to discover." Lou Xiao'e said gently.

Wang Qiang nodded, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth, "You are right, Xiao'e. There are many beautiful things in life that I always ignored before. In the future, I will spend more time enjoying life. Thank you for your company today."

After eating the bread, Wang Qiang and Lou Xiao'e took another walk in the park. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting a warm golden glow on their figures. Wang Qiang felt unprecedented peace and satisfaction. He knew that this day's experience would become a beautiful memory in his life.

As the sky gradually darkened, Wang Qiang and Lou Xiaoe decided to go home. After returning home, Wang Qiang felt a long-lost sense of comfort and relaxation. He sat on the sofa, thinking about everything that happened today, and his heart was filled with gratitude and satisfaction.

"Today is such a good day." Wang Qiang thought to himself, "Having friends' company and enjoying delicious food, this is the true meaning of life."

He decided to pay more attention to the good things in life and learn to enjoy every moment. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, he will maintain a positive attitude and welcome the challenges and beauty of each day.

Wang Qiang said to himself silently in his heart, "From today on, I will learn to cherish everyone and everything around me more. Because they are an indispensable part of my life."

In the early morning, the sun shines in every corner of the courtyard. Wang Qiang wakes up from the warm bed, feeling a long-lost comfort and tranquility. He stretches himself, and a thought flashes through his mind: "Today is a good day to buy some delicious food to reward myself."

Feeling refreshed by last night's good dream, Wang Qiang decided to treat himself and buy some of his favorite delicacies. He thought to himself that apart from work, he hadn't really enjoyed life for a long time. Today, he wanted to change this state.

Wang Qiang quickly washed up, changed into a set of clean clothes, and walked out of the room. The neighbors in the courtyard were already busy, and everyone greeted Wang Qiang in a friendly manner when they saw him.

"Wang Qiang, why are you here so early today?" asked neighbor Uncle Liu with a smile.

"Uncle Liu, good morning! I plan to buy myself some delicious food today and relax." Wang Qiang responded with a smile.

"Well, it's time for you to treat yourself. You've been very busy with work lately." Uncle Liu nodded in agreement.

Wang Qiang walked out of the courtyard happily and headed towards the market. There were many pedestrians on the road, and the street vendors were hawking their wares. The air was filled with the aroma of various foods. Wang Qiang smelled the aroma and felt that the glutton in his stomach had begun to act up.

When he got to the market, Wang Qiang went straight to his favorite snack stand. The fried cakes there were his favorite for many years, with crispy skin and sweet fillings. Every time he passed by here, he couldn't help but buy a few.
