Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Wang Qiang felt his wife's warmth and support, and he became more determined to make life in the courtyard better and better. The two stood together quietly, watching the people laughing in the courtyard, feeling extremely satisfied.

As the days passed in the courtyard, Wang Qiang's relationship with his neighbors became more and more harmonious. Whenever he saw the ribbons fluttering in the breeze, he would feel warm in his heart. These ribbons not only decorated the courtyard, but also brought people closer together, making the courtyard a truly warm big family.

As life in the courtyard gradually returned to normal, Wang Qiang gradually put down the burden in his heart. However, life is always full of challenges and surprises.

One day, Wang Qiang was busy tidying up the yard when he suddenly heard Lou Xiao'e crying from next door. His heart tightened and he hurried over. Lou Xiao'e was a young widow in the courtyard. Her husband died early and she raised two children alone. Her life had always been difficult. Wang Qiang had a good relationship with her family and often helped her solve some problems in life.

"Lou Xiao'e, what happened?" Wang Qiang asked anxiously, standing at the door.

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and looked at Wang Qiang with tears in her eyes: "Brother Qiang, the food at home is almost gone. I really have no other choice."

Wang Qiang was shocked. He didn't expect her condition to be so bad. He immediately decided to help her: "Don't worry, I'll go buy some food and solve the urgent problem first."

Wang Qiang returned home and told Wang Li about Lou Xiao'e's situation. Wang Li also sympathized with her and quickly took out some of the food reserves at home and gave them to Wang Qiang: "Take these first, and I will go see if there is anything I can do to help."

Wang Qiang nodded, his heart full of gratitude: "Thank you, Lili. You are so kind."

Wang Li smiled and said, "We are all neighbors, and we should help each other. Go quickly, and don't let Xiao'e wait anxiously."

Wang Qiang hurriedly took the food to Lou Xiao'e's house and saw her sitting at the table worrying. He gently put the food on the table and said softly, "Xiao'e, take these first and I'll go to the market to buy some more."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Wang Qiang gratefully, tears welling up in her eyes again: "Brother Qiang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

Wang Qiang patted her shoulder and said, "You're welcome. We are neighbors and we should care about each other. Just calm down and take good care of the children. I'll figure out other things."

After settling Lou Xiao'e, Wang Qiang immediately rushed to the market. He felt sad when he thought about how hard life was for Xiao'e's family. When he arrived at the market, he bought rice, wheat, corn and other food, as well as some daily necessities, hoping to improve Lou Xiao'e's life as much as possible.

"Boss, pack all these for me." Wang Qiang said, pointing at the mountain of food and daily necessities.

The boss smiled and said, "Wang Qiang, what big deal are you going to do? Why are you buying so many things?"

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "I bought it for a neighbor of mine. She had some difficulties at home and I helped her solve the problem."

The boss nodded and said: "You are such a good person. The neighbors are so lucky to have a friend like you."

Wang Qiang felt a little embarrassed, but more of a sense of responsibility. He packed up the food and supplies and hurried back. He knew that helping neighbors was a responsibility, and this responsibility made him feel valuable.

Back at the courtyard, Wang Qiang delivered food and supplies to Lou Xiao'e's home. Lou Xiao'e was so grateful that she didn't know what to say, but just thanked him over and over again. Wang Qiang comforted her: "Xiao'e, you're welcome, this is what I should do. If you have any difficulties, come to me at any time."

At night, Wang Qiang and Wang Li sat in the yard, looking at the stars in the night sky. Wang Li asked him, "Qiangzi, you bought so much food today. Has Xiao'e's family's problem been solved?"

Wang Qiang nodded: "It's solved temporarily, but I don't think it's a long-term solution. We still have to find a way to help her find a stable job so that she can be truly independent."

Wang Li also thought it made sense: "Yes, we can help her find a suitable job for her."

Wang Qiang held Wang Li's hand and said gratefully, "Lili, it's my blessing to have you by my side."

Wang Li smiled gently: "We are husband and wife, so it's only natural for us to support each other."

The next day, Wang Qiang decided to go to the factory to ask if there was a job suitable for Lou Xiao'e. He went to the factory, found the supervisor, Master Zhang, and explained the situation. Master Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Wang Qiang, bring her over here. We are short of staff and there may be a job suitable for her."

Wang Qiang was delighted and hurried back to tell Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e was so grateful that she didn't know what to do: "Brother Qiang, I don't know how to thank you."

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "You're welcome. Let's go take a look first. It would be great if we can find a suitable job."

A few days later, Lou Xiao'e successfully found a job in a factory and her life gradually improved. Wang Qiang felt very relieved when he saw the smile on her face.

The days in the courtyard are still peaceful and beautiful, and Wang Qiang's relationship with his neighbors is getting more and more harmonious. They have spent many happy times together and have experienced many ups and downs, but no matter what, they always support each other and face the challenges of life together.

Wang Qiang looked at the empty space in the courtyard and came up with a new plan. He decided to use the land to grow some vegetables, which would not only enrich everyone's dining table but also make the neighbors more harmonious. He imagined the scene of everyone planting and harvesting together, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

"Lili, I plan to grow some vegetables in the yard. What do you think?" Wang Qiang talked about his idea with Wang Li after dinner.

Wang Li's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she smiled in approval: "This is a good idea. We can grow some greens, tomatoes, eggplants, etc., so that everyone will have fresh vegetables to eat."

Wang Qiang nodded, and his mind became more determined about this plan. Early the next morning, he went to the market to buy seeds and some necessary tools. The market was still bustling with people. Wang Qiang carefully selected seeds of various vegetables and bought a few hoes and shovels.

"Are these enough?" the boss asked kindly.

"That should be enough, thank you, boss." Wang Qiang responded with a smile, and had already begun to imagine the appearance of the vegetable garden in his mind.

Back at the courtyard, Wang Qiang laid out his tools and seeds and called a small meeting with his neighbors. He shared his ideas with everyone, and they really got everyone interested.
