Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

"Yuzhu, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have gotten out of that irritable state so quickly." Wang Qiang said gratefully.

He Yuzhu patted his shoulder and said, "We are friends, so we should help each other. If you have any troubles in the future, just tell me and we will work together to find a solution."

Wang Qiang nodded, feeling warm in his heart. He knew that although he had a lot of pressure, he was not alone with a friend like He Yuzhu.

In the afternoon, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu found a place in the park for a picnic. They took out the food they brought and ate while chatting. Wang Qiang suddenly remembered his childhood and shared it with He Yuzhu.

"Yuzhu, do you know? I loved fishing when I was a child. At that time, my family was not well off and it was a rare thing to have a meal of fish. So, every time I succeeded in fishing, I was very happy." Wang Qiang said with a smile.

He Yuzhu listened with great interest: "I didn't know you had this skill! Let's go fishing together if there's a chance. I like fishing too."

Wang Qiang nodded: "Okay, when business is not so busy, let's go fishing together."

The two chatted happily, and Wang Qiang gradually relaxed. He suddenly realized that he was too nervous and always thought about business matters, but ignored the fun in life. Today's relaxation made him realize that sometimes it is also important to let go of stress and enjoy life.

In the evening, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, and Wang Qiang felt much more relaxed. He walked into the house and saw a note on the table, which was left by his neighbor Xiao Li.

"Brother Wang Qiang, I made some cakes today and put them on your table. Please try them."

Wang Qiang felt warm in his heart, thinking that the neighbors in the courtyard were really kind to him. He took a bite of the cake and found it sweet, which made him feel better.

At night, Wang Qiang lay in bed, thinking about everything that happened today, and felt extremely satisfied. He knew that he was not alone, and that he had the care and support of friends and neighbors like He Yuzhu. He decided not to let himself be overwhelmed by pressure in the future, but to learn to relax at the right time and enjoy the beauty of life.

"Tomorrow is another new day." Wang Qiang said to himself silently in his heart, and fell into a sweet dream with full of hope and longing.

The next morning, Wang Qiang got up early in spirit, walked out of the house, and saw He Yuzhu already busy in the yard.

"Good morning, Wang Qiang, how do you feel today?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile.

"Good morning, Yuzhu. I feel much better today. Yesterday's relaxation really worked." Wang Qiang replied with a smile.

"That's good. Let's keep working hard today and do better business!" He Yuzhu encouraged.

Wang Qiang nodded, feeling full of energy. He knew that he had come out of that irritable period and would have to face every day of his life with a more positive attitude.

In the following days, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu continued to work hard to run their small stall, and business was getting better day by day. Although he felt tired sometimes, Wang Qiang learned how to relax himself and adjust his mentality. He knew that as long as he maintained a positive attitude, the future would definitely be better.

One night, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu were sitting in the yard, drinking tea and chatting. Wang Qiang suddenly said, "Yuzhu, have you ever thought about what else we can do after our business becomes bigger?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I think we can consider opening a small restaurant and then developing it into a chain store. As long as we maintain our current attitude and efforts, we will definitely succeed."

Wang Qiang was filled with hope and confidence after hearing this. He knew that his and He Yuzhu's future would be brighter because they had dreams and goals, and more importantly, they had each other's support and encouragement.

"Okay, then let's work together to achieve this goal!" Wang Qiang said firmly.

He Yuzhu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I definitely will, let's work hard together!"

Wang Qiang has moved into the courtyard for several months, but he has been keeping a low profile and rarely interacting with his neighbors. The only thing that interests him is Xu Damao's flock of fat chickens. Xu Damao is a chicken dealer who raises a lot of chickens. These chickens run around in the yard, always attracting Wang Qiang's attention.

That day, Wang Qiang was wandering around the yard, thinking about how to get some chickens. He knew that Xu Damao was very careful about the chickens, so it would be difficult to steal chickens. Just as he was thinking, Xu Damao came over and greeted him warmly: "Wang Qiang, good morning, are you free today? Let's have some tea together!"

Wang Qiang smiled and responded: "Thank you, Brother Xu Damao, but I have something to do today, I will definitely go another day."

Xu Damao nodded, said nothing more, and turned to take care of his chickens. Wang Qiang looked at Xu Damao's back and began to think about his plan to steal the chickens. He knew that if he could take advantage of Xu Damao's inattention, he would succeed.

In the following days, Wang Qiang observed Xu Damao's schedule every day and figured out when he left and when he came back. Finally, one day, the opportunity came.

That evening, Xu Damao was out for something, and Wang Qiang quietly came to the chicken coop, quickly opened the cage door, and stuffed several fat chickens into a large sack. He carefully closed the cage door, made sure there were no traces left, and then quickly left the scene.

Back in his room, Wang Qiang looked at the chickens in the sack with satisfaction, thinking: "I'm in for a treat this time. I can have a good meal tonight."

However, things did not go as smoothly as Wang Qiang imagined. That night, when Xu Damao returned home, he found that a few chickens were missing and immediately looked for them. His shouting attracted the attention of other people in the courtyard, and everyone gathered around to ask what happened.

Xu Damao said angrily: "The chickens I raised are gone. They must have been stolen!"

The neighbors were talking about it, some suggested calling the police, others suggested looking around the yard. At this time, Wang Qiang stood behind the crowd, watching it all calmly, thinking about what to do next.

The next day, Wang Qiang appeared in the yard as usual, pretending to be innocent and chatting with the neighbors. Xu Damao came over with a gloomy face and asked, "Wang Qiang, did you hear any noise last night?"

Wang Qiang shook his head and said, "No, I went to bed early last night and didn't hear anything."

Xu Damao looked at him suspiciously, but didn't say much. He knew in his heart that it was not easy to find the chicken thief, but he decided not to give up easily.
