Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

In his plan, every piece of furniture and every layout is not only for beauty, but also for functionality and comfort. He wants to create a warm and modern home that can not only meet his own living needs, but also provide a space for family and friends to gather.

Wang Qiang's decision was not just to change the appearance of his home, but also to maintain his inner balance and quality of life. He realized that although work and career are very important, personal private space is also important for him to relax and restore energy.

When Wang Qiang shared his ideas with He Yuzhu, the latter also expressed support and understanding. Together they discussed how to make the best use of the space, choose the right decoration style and color matching, and how to maintain the consistency and beauty of the overall design.

Wang Qiang decided to start his new home renovation plan with a simple renovation. He thought he should start with something small that could immediately improve the overall atmosphere of the room. So he chose the living room as the first object of renovation and decided to replace the old curtains in the room first.

This decision was not just for aesthetics, but also for the consideration of improving comfort and home feeling. He searched for some modern curtain designs online and compared various fabrics and colors. After much thinking and comparison, Wang Qiang finally chose a simple and elegant gray curtain, which not only matched the overall decoration style he planned, but also coordinated with the existing furniture and decorations in the room.

When he hung up the new curtains, Wang Qiang felt a subtle sense of satisfaction. This seemingly simple action represents his care for his home and his pursuit of quality of life. Every change and update makes him feel more relaxed and happy.

In the process, he also enjoys the fun of choice and decision-making. For a chef who focuses on details and perfection, home decoration is not just about changing the room layout or color, but also a way to express personal taste and attitude towards life.

At the same time, Wang Qiang's mood gradually became clearer with the changes in his home. He found that every decoration decision was not only a transformation of the room, but also a reflection and adjustment of his lifestyle. He began to pay more attention to the warmth and comfort of the family, hoping to create a truly livable space for himself and his family.

With the help of He Yuzhu, Wang Qiang selected several other new pieces of furniture and some decorations to enhance the atmosphere of the room. Every change added new colors and vitality to his home, and also made him full of expectations and longing for future renovation plans.

As Wang Qiang continued his home renovation, he found that some details needed professional help. In particular, when he was arranging the living room, he realized that he needed a sewing machine to make some custom curtains and decorations, as well as to repair some old items in the house.

So, one afternoon, he decided to look for Qin Huairu, their neighbor in the courtyard, who was also an old lady who was good at sewing. Although Qin Huairu was over 60 years old, she had superb skills and often helped the residents of the courtyard to solve some problems of sewing and making household items.

Walking into Qin Huairu's yard, Wang Qiang felt a peaceful and warm atmosphere. There were several green plants planted in the yard, and a breeze blew through, bringing a little coolness. Qin Huairu was sitting on a stone bench in her home, concentrating on mending an old piece of clothing.

"Hello, Aunt Qin." Wang Qiang walked closer with a smile, "Can I ask you something? I need a sewing machine recently. I wonder if you can lend it to me for a while?"

Qin Huairu raised her head, looked at Wang Qiang with a kind look, and said with a smile: "Young man Wang, what do you want to borrow the sewing machine for?"

Wang Qiang explained frankly: "I have been renovating my home recently and want to make some new curtains and decorations, as well as repair some furniture and clothing. I heard that you have excellent craftsmanship, and I hope to get your guidance and help."

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "I do have an old-fashioned sewing machine that has been idle for a long time. You can take it if you want to use it. However, remember to take good care of it. Sewing machines also need care."

Wang Qiang thanked her gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Qin! I will use it carefully."

He and Qin Huairu walked into her room together, and Wang Qiang saw a classic old-fashioned sewing machine, which was a bit old but seemed to be working properly. Qin Huairu patiently introduced the functions and usage skills of each part to him, and even took out some old fabrics to show him how to operate it correctly.

Wang Qiang studied hard and was full of gratitude. This was not only a sewing machine, but also a valuable experience of communicating and learning with neighbors. He realized that interaction and support between people in the community are the important factors in building a truly warm and harmonious community.

After returning home with his sewing machine, Wang Qiang began to practice. He set up a small work area in his room and put Qin Huairu's skills into practice. Each sewing not only helped him complete a part of his home decoration, but also made him deeply appreciate the fun and sense of accomplishment of handicraft art.

With the help of Qin Huairu, Wang Qiang gradually got used to using the sewing machine to do various repairs and production work at home. Whenever he had free time, he would devote himself to his home decoration projects, enjoying the fun and satisfaction of hands-on creation.

However, one afternoon, an unexpected conflict broke his peaceful life. Wang Qiang was repairing the cushion of an old-fashioned chair when he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the yard. He looked up and found that Jia Dongxu, another neighbor in the courtyard, was arguing with a stranger.

"What's your attitude? It's clearly your responsibility, but you keep shirking it!" Jia Dongxu's voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

The stranger seemed a little annoyed: "Don't give me this nonsense! The problem is in your house, you have to solve it yourself."

Wang Qiang was a little confused. He knew Jia Dongxu was usually a gentle and kind person, and he didn't understand why he became so angry. He walked over and tried to resolve the dispute.

"Brother Jia, what happened?" Wang Qiang asked, trying to remain calm.

When Jia Dongxu saw Wang Qiang coming over, he calmed down a little. He sighed and said, "Wang Qiang, this matter really makes me angry. Just now, this gentleman's car was parked in front of our yard, blocking the road, but he refused to leave and kept pushing the responsibility to me."

Wang Qiang thought about it for a moment and thought that the dispute might be a misunderstanding. He turned to the stranger and said, "Sir, can you move the car? It will affect our normal life."
