Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Yuzhui, get up. Let's go to the market to buy some food today." He Daqing's voice was filled with anticipation and excitement.

He Yuzhu got up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and responded with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Daqing, please wait for me, I'll be there soon."

A few minutes later, He Yuzhu finished washing up, and the two set off. The market was not far away, and it took about ten minutes to walk there. He Daqing and He Yuzhu chatted as they walked, and He Daqing pointed at the scenery on the street from time to time and recalled the stories of the past.

"Yuzhu, this street used to be very lively. I always came here to buy things when I was a child." He Daqing said with a smile, a nostalgic gleam in his eyes.

He Yuzhu was also somewhat curious, "Yes, Uncle Daqing, a lot has changed over the years, but the market is still as lively as ever. What should we buy today?"

He Daqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as meat and fish. We can make a sumptuous dinner in the evening and eat together."

As they talked, they had unknowingly arrived at the market. The market was bustling with people. Various stalls were filled with fresh ingredients, and the aroma was overflowing. He Daqing and He Yuzhu shuttled among the crowd, enjoying the busyness and happiness.

They first came to a vegetable stall, where He Daqing picked out several fresh vegetables and He Yuzhu carried the bags. The two worked well together and were very efficient. Then they went to a fruit stall and picked out several seasonal fruits.

"Yuzhui, these fruits are very fresh. You can give them to Xiao'e when you go back. She will definitely like them." He Daqing said with a smile.

He Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, Uncle Daqing, you are really considerate. Xiao'e has been working very hard recently, and eating some fruit is good for her health."

Next, they went to the meat stall and picked out a few pieces of good pork and a fresh fish. He Daqing was thinking about the dinner menu in his mind, thinking about how to make this meal more sumptuous.

"Yuzhui, how about we make braised pork and steamed fish today, and add some vegetables?" He Daqing asked his son for his opinion.

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Uncle Daqing, it sounds delicious. Let's buy it quickly and go back to prepare it well."

They bought some more seasonings and rice noodles, and returned home with a full load. Back at the courtyard, He Yuzhu and He Daqing put the purchased ingredients into different categories. He Daqing looked at these fresh ingredients and felt a sense of accomplishment.

At noon, He Daqing began to prepare dinner. He was busy in the kitchen, while He Yuzhu was helping him. Lou Xiao'e also heard the noise and walked into the kitchen. Seeing their busy figures, she felt very warm.

"Brother Yuzhu, Uncle Daqing, what delicious food should we cook today?" Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile.

He Daqing answered while cutting vegetables: "Xiao'e, today we prepared braised pork, steamed fish, and some vegetables. I guarantee you will like them."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Great! I can't wait."

The afternoon was spent in laughter and joy, He Daqing and He Yuzhu prepared dinner together, and Lou Xiaoe helped to set the table. In the evening, the fragrance filled the entire courtyard.

He Yuzhu walked to the dining table with a plate of steaming braised pork and said with a smile, "Xiao'e, come and try our masterpiece today."

Lou Xiao'e picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, her eyes full of satisfaction, "Uncle Daqing, Brother Yuzhu, your cooking skills are really great! This braised pork has great color, aroma and taste, it's really delicious."

He Daqing looked at their happy faces and felt relieved. "Xiao'e, Yuzhu, as long as you like it, I'm happy. Let's make more delicious food in the future and share it with everyone."

He Yuzhu nodded, "Uncle Daqing, you are right. Eating together as a family is the greatest happiness."

The dinner was held in a warm atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the food while chatting and sharing their daily lives. He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe and felt extremely satisfied.

It was late at night. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e finished cleaning the kitchen and sat in the yard enjoying the quiet time. He Daqing also sat beside them with a cup of tea.

"Yuzhui, Xiao'e, our family is so happy. No matter what we encounter in the future, we will face it together and work hard together." He Daqing said with emotion.

He Yuzhu held Lou Xiao'e's hand and said gently, "Uncle Daqing, don't worry, we will cherish our current life and work together to make this family better and better."

Lou Xiao'e leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder and said softly, "Yes, Brother Yuzhu, Uncle Daqing, with you around, I feel that life is full of hope and happiness."

A few days later, one afternoon, the sun shone through the leaves, casting mottled shadows in the yard. He Daqing sat on a rattan chair in the yard, thinking about the warm days of the past few days, and felt extremely satisfied. He suddenly remembered that he saw Lou Xiao'e's shoes were a little old a few days ago, so he decided to take her to buy a new pair of shoes.

He Daqing walked to the kitchen and saw Lou Xiao'e preparing dinner. He said gently, "Xiao'e, are you free this afternoon? I want to take you to buy a new pair of shoes."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and replied with a smile: "Uncle Daqing, my shoes are still wearable, no need to buy new ones. You always worry about us so much."

He Daqing smiled and waved his hand, "Xiao E, don't be polite to me. It's time to change your shoes. Let's go to the shoe store on the street this afternoon."

Seeing He Daqing's insistence, Lou Xiao'e felt warm in her heart and nodded in agreement. She packed up briefly and the two of them set off.

Walking on the street, He Daqing looked at Lou Xiao'e beside him, and his heart was filled with relief. He knew that this girl was not only hardworking and kind, but also always cared about her family. Taking her out to buy shoes today was not only for her convenience, but also a token of his love.

Soon, they came to a shoe store. The store was full of shoes, with a dazzling variety of styles. The clerk greeted them enthusiastically, "Hello, what kind of shoes do you need?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "We want to buy a pair of comfortable shoes for this girl. Can you recommend some?"

The clerk nodded and took them to the women's shoes section, introducing them: "These shoes are very comfortable and suitable for daily wear. You can try them."

Lou Xiao'e was a little embarrassed, but with He Daqing's encouragement, she tried on several pairs of shoes. She chose a pair of beige casual shoes, which fit her feet very well. She looked up at He Daqing and said with a smile, "Uncle Daqing, these shoes are very comfortable, so I chose them."

He Daqing nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, Xiao'e, these shoes look good, as long as they are comfortable to wear."
