Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

"Well, getting up early and doing something will make me feel at ease. I continued to sweep the floor.

"You are such a diligent child." Qin Huairu said approvingly, "Come to my house when you have time, and I will make you something delicious."

"Thank you, Aunt Qin. I will definitely go when I have time." Zhang Liang nodded.

After sweeping the floor, Zhang Liang walked to the well and drew a bucket of water. Yan Bugui happened to pass by and saw Zhang Liang busy at work. He said casually: "Little Zhang Liang, you are a great kid. Young people should be so diligent."

Zhang Liang put down the bucket and said with a smile: "Uncle Yan, this is as it should be. We all live in this courtyard together."

Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction and continued walking forward. Zhang Liang returned home with a bucket of water and began to wash up. After washing his face, he changed into clean clothes and prepared to go to work at the steel mill.

When he reached the factory gate, he saw Yi Zhonghai smoking at the gate. Yi Zhonghai saw him and said, "Zhang Liang, you are the first one to arrive today. Good morning." "I am used to arriving early. I can learn more by arriving early."

"Good boy, you are ambitious." He put out the cigarette butt and said, "Come on, let's go in."

The two walked into the factory together and started their day's work. Zhang Liang has always performed very well in the steel rolling mill and has won praise from many veteran workers. During breaks, he always seizes the opportunity to consult experienced workers and learn new skills.

One day at noon, when the workers were taking a break, Liu Haizhong came over and said to Zhang Liang, "Little Zhang Liang, are you free tonight? I have something to do at home and I would like to ask you for a favor."

"Master Liu, please tell me what you need. I will go as long as I can help." Zhang Liang agreed readily.

"Okay, come home with me after get off work tonight." He turned and left.

After get off work in the evening, Zhang Liang followed Liu Haizhong back to his home. Liu Haizhong's wife was busy in the kitchen. When she saw them coming back, she smiled and said, "Little Zhang Liang is here. Come in and sit down."

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm here to help." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

Liu Haizhong took Zhang Liang into the living room, pointed at a pile of old furniture and said, "I want to rearrange these furniture, but I can't do it alone. Master Liu, let's do it together." Zhang Liang rolled up his sleeves and started moving the furniture with Liu Haizhong.

After working for an hour, the furniture was finally arranged. Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction: "Little Zhang Liang, you are such a good helper, thank you. You are so polite.

Before leaving, Liu Haizhong took out a bag of fruit and handed it to Zhang Liang: "Take it back, these are grown by my family. They are not good things, but they are a token of my appreciation."

"Thank you, Master Liu. I'll be polite." Zhang Liang took the fruit and felt warm in his heart. It was getting late. Zhang Liang walked into his hut, put the fruit on the table, and thought about everything that happened today. He knew that he not only had neighbors in this yard, but also people who cared about him like family.

It was late at night, thinking about his future. He didn't want to stay in the courtyard for the rest of his life, he had a bigger ideal. He hoped that through his own efforts, he could change his fate, walk out of this small world, and see the wider world. Zhang Liang got up early again and continued his busy life. He knew that every day's hard work was to get one step closer to his dream. Zhang Liang's performance in the steel rolling mill was getting more and more outstanding. He was not only diligent and studious, but also good at thinking. He often put forward some suggestions for improving work, which was appreciated by the leaders.

One day, the factory director called a meeting and announced an important decision: "The factory is going to carry out an important technological transformation recently, and we need to select some capable young people to participate in this project."

Hearing the news, the workers began to discuss it. Zhang Liang was secretly excited, as he knew this was a rare opportunity.

After the meeting, Yi Zhonghai found Zhang Liang and patted him on the shoulder: "Little Zhang Liang, I recommended you for this technical transformation project. Do a good job and don't let everyone down.

In the following days, Zhang Liang devoted himself to the project of technological transformation. He studied hard, humbly asked experienced workers for advice, and gradually mastered many key technologies.

After the project was successfully completed, the factory leaders were very satisfied with Zhang Liang's performance and decided to promote him to be the technical backbone of the workshop. When the news spread, the neighbors in the courtyard were happy for him.

"Zhang Liang, you're awesome!" Yan Bugui said happily, "A talent has emerged in our courtyard! Little Zhang Liang has achieved such success at such a young age, he is really our pride." Qin Huairu also praised.

Zhang Liang smiled modestly: "Don't say that, I will continue to work hard and strive for better results."

At night, Zhang Liang sat alone in the yard, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of hope. He knew that his dream was becoming a reality step by step. Although the road ahead was still long, he believed that he would be able to realize his ideal. Zhang Liang's work in the factory was getting smoother and smoother, and his efforts were recognized by more people. At the same time, he did not forget his original intention and still cared about the neighbors in the courtyard.

One day, Banggeng ran up to Zhang Liang and said excitedly: "Brother Zhang Liang, I heard that you have been doing very well in the factory recently. That's amazing! You should also work hard and you will have a bright future." Zhang Liang smiled and touched his head.

Bang Geng's eyes sparkled with longing: "I will, Brother Zhang Liang, I will definitely learn from you and strive to be as good as you in the future."

"It's good to have this ambition, but the key is to take action." "As long as you work hard, there will be unlimited possibilities in the future." Zhang Liang's position in the factory has become more and more stable. He has not only become a technical backbone, but also participated in the decision-making of some important projects. This made him more determined to pursue his ideals and determined to change his destiny through hard work.

One day, the factory received an important task to select an outstanding technician to go to another place to learn advanced technology. After careful consideration, the factory leaders decided to send Zhang Liang.

After hearing the news, Zhang Liang was excited but also a little nervous. He knew that this was a rare opportunity, but it also meant leaving the familiar environment and facing unknown challenges.

Before leaving, Yi Zhonghai specially invited Zhang Liang to his home for dinner. During the meal, Yi Zhonghai said earnestly: "Little Zhang Liang, this study abroad is a good opportunity, but it will also face many difficulties and challenges. I hope you can cherish this opportunity, study hard, and strive to bring back advanced technology. I will definitely cherish this opportunity," Zhang Liang said solemnly.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and raised his glass: "Good boy, I believe you can do it. Come, let's have a drink and wish you a bright future!"

"Thank you, Uncle Yi." Zhang Liang raised his glass gratefully and clinked glasses with Yi Zhonghai. Zhang Liang carried his bag and boarded the train to another place. His heart was full of expectations for the future and the courage to face unknown challenges. Although he left the courtyard, he knew that this small world would always be the harbor in his heart, supporting him to keep moving forward.

Although studying and living abroad is difficult

Zhang Liang and Qin Huairu met each other, and their family was in financial difficulty.

Zhang Liang walked into the courtyard and found Qin Huairu hanging clothes in the yard. She had a faint look of sadness on her face and looked a little tired. Zhang Liang's heart was moved and he walked over to greet her: "Aunt Qin, are you busy again today?"

Qin Huairu forced a smile and said, "Yes, there are many children in the family and many things to do. She sighed secretly in her heart. Qin Huairu was a single mother who raised several children alone. Her life was very difficult. Zhang Liang always admired her strength and often tried his best to help her.

"Aunt Qin, we are neighbors, don't be polite." Zhang Liang said with concern.

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the food at home is running out, and the factory has been paying wages late recently, so money is a bit tight."

Zhang Liang's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Aunt Qin, I still have some surplus food here, you can take it for emergency use."

Qin Huairu waved her hands repeatedly: "How can this be possible? You need it yourself too."

"It's okay, Aunt Qin, I still have a lot here. You can take it first. We'll tell you if it's not enough." Zhang Liang insisted, turned around and walked home.

Back in his room, Zhang Liang took out a bag of rice and some flour from the cupboard, put them in the bag and carried them out. He returned to Qin Huairu and handed her the bag: "Aunt Qin, take these first, and return them to me when the factory pays you."

Qin Huairu's eyes were moist. She took the bag and said with a sob, "Zhang Liang,"

"Aunt Qin, don't be polite, this is what I should do.

Qin Huairu nodded and looked at Zhang Liang deeply, her heart full of gratitude. Zhang Liang knew that she was under a lot of pressure in her life, and any help would be appreciated.

At this time, Banggeng ran over from the yard, saw Zhang Liang, and shouted happily: "Brother Zhang Liang, you are back! What have you been doing these days?

"Help mom at home, Brother Zhang Liang," Bang Geng asked expectantly.

"It's OK, just a little busy." Zhang Liang touched his head and said with a smile, "You should help your mother more and don't let her get too tired."

Bang Geng nodded vigorously: "I will, Brother Zhang Liang. The factory finally paid the wages. The first thing Qin Huairu did after receiving the wages was to find Zhang Liang to return the food. She carried a bag of rice and a bag of noodles and knocked on Zhang Liang's door.

"Zhang Liang, thank you so much. This is my return to you." Qin Huairu handed over the bag.

"Aunt Qin, you're returning it so soon? I thought you'd be late." Zhang Liang took the bag with a smile, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Much better, the children are all very obedient." Qin Huairu smiled, "Zhang Liang, it's only natural for us to help each other.

As time went by, Zhang Liang and Qin Huairu's family became closer and closer. He often helped Qin Huairu with some physical work, and sometimes taught Banggeng some study and life skills. When Zhang Liang got home from work, he saw Qin Huairu standing at the door, looking a little nervous.
