He Daqing's eyes flashed with tears. "Yuzhu, you have paid a lot over the years. Seeing you so sensible, I feel relieved and guilty. Before your mother left, she asked me to promise her that I would take good care of you. But I always feel that I haven't done enough."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said firmly: "Dad, you raised me up by yourself and gave me so much love and support. I am always grateful to you."

He Daqing took a deep breath and continued, "Yuzhu, I've been thinking recently whether our lives can get a little better. You work hard, and I hope you can find your own happiness. We can't always live like this, we need to make some changes."

He Yuzhu frowned and asked seriously, "Dad, what do you think?"

He Daqing pondered for a moment and said, "I was thinking, can we do some small business to increase some income? This way you don't have to work so hard, and I can help a little."

He Yuzhu thought about it and nodded, "Dad, your idea is good. We can try and see what kind of business is better?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in He Daqing's eyes. "I was thinking about opening a small restaurant. You are a good cook, and I can help you. If we work together, we should be able to succeed."

He Yuzhu's eyes sparkled, "Okay, Dad, I think this is a good idea. We can make some preparations first and see what we need."

The father and son began to discuss the plan of opening a restaurant in detail. He Daqing described his ideas, and He Yuzhu was responsible for recording and supplementing them. They talked enthusiastically, as if they had already seen hope for the future.

"Dad, I think we can try it at home first, cook some dishes and ask the neighbors to taste them and see how they react." He Yuzhu suggested. He agreed and said, "Yes, let's try it at home first and see what everyone thinks. If the response is good, we can officially open the store."

In the next few days, the father and son were busy preparing for the restaurant. They tried to cook a few specialties at home and invited neighbors to taste them. Everyone praised their cooking skills, which gave He Daqing and He Yuzhu more confidence.

He Yuzhu looked at his father's busy figure, his heart full of gratitude and respect. He knew that his father had given a lot to him over the years, and now he finally had the opportunity to repay him. He Yuzhu secretly made up his mind to run this small restaurant well and let his father live a better life. He Daqing and He Yuzhu sat in the yard, looking at their carefully decorated restaurant, their hearts full of expectations. He Daqing said with emotion: "Yuzhu, we have finally taken the first step. As long as we persist, we will succeed. With a firm light in his eyes, "Dad,"

As time went by, the restaurant gradually became more popular. He Daqing and He Yuzhu were busy every day, but their hearts were full of satisfaction and hope. Their efforts were not in vain, and more and more customers came to taste their food.

One night, the restaurant was doing very well, and the father and son were very busy. It was late at night when the last table of guests left. He Daqing sat at the table, sweating profusely, but with a smile on his face.

"Yuzhui, business is good today, right?" He Daqing asked with a smile.

He Yuzhu wiped the sweat off his face, nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, I was very busy today. But seeing that everyone is satisfied with our dishes, I feel it's worth it."

He Daqing looked at his son, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride. "Yuzhu, our efforts have finally paid off. The days ahead will surely get better and better."

He Yuzhu held his father's hand and said firmly: "Dad, we will keep working hard."

He Daqing sat on the bench in the kitchen, looking at the sunset outside the window, feeling a little heavy-hearted. Although the business of the small restaurant was booming, he still had a knot in his heart that he couldn't untie. That was the deep guilt towards his son He Yuzhu. He felt that he had not taken good care of his son over the years, and that he had suffered too much.

That night, after the restaurant business was over, He Yuzhu was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen. He Daqing walked over, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Yuzhu, can I talk to you? Seeing his father's serious expression, he put down the bowl in his hand and walked to his father, "Dad, what's so serious? A hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes, "Yuzhu, there are some things I have kept in my heart for a long time, and I have never had the chance to tell you. Today, I want to say them out."

He Yuzhu looked at his father in confusion and nodded, "Dad, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

He Daqing was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Over the years, you have supported this family by yourself and have paid too much. As a father, I was unable to give you more help and support, but instead made you bear so much pressure. I have always felt guilty."

He Yuzhu felt a pang of pain when he heard his father's words. He didn't expect his father to think this way. He stepped forward and said seriously: "Dad, you have already given a lot to this family, and I have always known it. Without you, I would not be able to get to where I am today."

He Daqing shook his head, tears flashing in his eyes, "Yuzhu, you don't understand. I always feel that I owe you too much over the years. Your mother passed away early, and I raised you alone. I always wanted to give you a better life, but the reality is always contrary to one's wishes. You worked hard outside alone, but I couldn't help you at all."

He Yuzhu held his father's hand tightly and said firmly: "Dad, you really don't need to blame yourself. The greatest support you gave me is your love and care. I have known since I was a child how much you have contributed to this family. Now, living a better and better life is our best reward. He knew that his hard work over the years was not in vain, and his son always remembered his kindness in his heart. "Yuzhu, thank you for understanding me so much. Seeing that you are so sensible now, I am really happy in my heart. "

He Yuzhu smiled and patted his father on the shoulder. "Dad, we are a family and we should support each other. In the future, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will never give up."

That night, He Daqing and He Yuzhu talked for a long time. They recalled many past events and looked forward to the future life. In that warm kitchen, the estrangement between the father and son gradually dissipated, replaced by a deeper family affection and trust.

A few days later, when He Yuzhu was busy in the restaurant, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door, "Yuzhu, are you busy?"

He Yuzhu looked up and saw that it was his neighbor, Lao Zhang. He greeted him with a smile, "Lao Zhang, come in and sit down. How come you have time to come here today?"

After Lao Zhang sat down, he sighed, "I heard that your restaurant business is getting better and better, so I came here to congratulate you. By the way, I also have something to discuss with you."
