Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing sat on a stone bench in the yard, looking at He Yushui's busy figure, thinking secretly in his heart. Recently, he has been thinking that although He Yushui works very hard, he feels that his daughter's potential has not been fully developed. After much thinking, He Daqing decided to let He Yushui go to school for further studies to improve her abilities.

One day after dinner, He Daqing walked up to He Yushui with a bowl of hot soup. He was a little nervous, but he knew that this decision was very important to his daughter's future.

"Yushui, there is something I want to discuss with you." He Daqing said.

He Yushui raised his head and looked at his father with concern in his eyes. "Dad, what's the matter? Tell me." He said slowly, "I have been thinking that you work so hard, but I think you should go back to school to further your studies and improve your professional knowledge and skills."

He Yushui was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect her father to make such a suggestion. She put down her chopsticks and asked seriously, "Dad, are you asking me to go to school? But I have a good job now, why should I go to school?"

He Daqing looked at his daughter, his eyes full of expectation and love. "Yushui, I know you have a good job now, but I hope you can have better development. Going to school can not only improve your knowledge, but also allow you to meet more people and broaden your horizons. You have great potential and should not be limited to your current environment."

He Yushui lowered her head in thought, feeling a little shaken. She knew her father's words made sense, but she was also worried that leaving her job would affect her current grades and income. She raised her head and looked at her father, her eyes full of contradictions and doubts.

"Dad, I understand what you mean, but I'm worried that leaving my job will affect my current performance. Besides, tuition and living expenses are also a problem." He Yushui said. He said firmly: "Yushui, don't worry about tuition and living expenses, I can help you solve them. We have saved some money over the years, which is enough for your school expenses. As for work, don't worry, learning is for a better future, and leaving temporarily will not affect your long-term development."

He Yushui looked at her father's determined eyes. She knew that her father had always been worried about her future and hoped that she could have a better development. She took a deep breath and finally made up her mind.

"Okay, Dad, I'll listen to you. I'll go to school for further studies, but I'll try my best not to worry you." He Yushui said, his eyes full of determination and gratitude.

He Daqing smiled with satisfaction and patted his daughter's shoulder gently. "Good girl, you made the right decision. I believe you will have a better future."

In the next few days, He Daqing and He Yushui studied the school and major options together. They browsed the school's official website together to learn about the curriculum and employment prospects of each major. He Yushui finally decided to apply for a business administration major at a well-known university, which not only met her interests but also improved her professional skills.

In order to support his daughter, He Daqing not only prepared tuition and living expenses, but also helped her contact several old friends, hoping to provide some internship opportunities. Seeing all this her father did for her, He Yushui felt extremely grateful and warm in her heart.

As school was about to start, He Daqing and He Yushui packed their luggage together. While helping to pack, He Daqing kept reminding them: "Yushui, study hard in school and tell me if you have any difficulties. Don't work too hard and take care of yourself." "Dad, don't worry, you should take care of yourself too."

On the day of farewell, He Daqing accompanied He Yushui to the train station. Seeing his daughter's back as she was about to leave, he felt reluctant but also full of expectations. He knew that this farewell was for a better future, and he was full of confidence in his daughter.

"Yushui, remember to call me when you get to school. Tell me if you need anything." He Daqing reminded him. Tears flashed in his eyes, "Dad, don't worry, I will work hard. When I come back after completing my studies, I will make you proud of me."

The train started slowly, and He Daqing stood on the platform, watching his daughter's train go farther and farther away. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his daughter would be successful in the new environment and realize her dream as soon as possible.

Back in the courtyard, He Daqing felt a little lonely, but he knew it was temporary. He began to participate in more community activities, cleaning with neighbors, repairing public facilities, and keeping himself busy.

At night, He Daqing sat in the yard, looking at the night sky, and felt a sense of peace in his heart. He knew that he and his daughter would face more challenges and opportunities. But he believed that as long as they persisted in their efforts, everything would get better and better.

He Yushui has gradually adapted to her new life at school. She studies hard, actively participates in various activities, and makes many like-minded friends. Whenever she encounters difficulties, she always thinks of her father's teachings and support, which fills her with strength and confidence.

He Daqing and He Yushui keep in touch through phone calls and video calls. Every time they talk, He Yushui excitedly shares her experiences and gains at school. He Daqing feels extremely relieved and satisfied when listening to his daughter's stories. He knows that his daughter is realizing her dream step by step, and everything he has done is worth it.

One day, He Daqing was drinking tea in the yard and saw He Yuzhu sitting beside him with a sad face. He asked, "Little He, why are you always so depressed recently? What's on your mind?" He Yuzhu sighed and said, "Uncle, I have always wanted to learn cooking skills, but I always feel that I am not good enough and I can never learn it no matter how hard I try. Is this the limit of my life?" He Daqing laughed and said, "Kid, how can you learn cooking skills overnight? I also spent a lot of effort when I was learning cooking. Let me teach you a few tricks and we can study them together."

From that day on, He Daqing began to personally instruct He Yuzhu. They started working early in the morning. He Daqing taught He Yuzhu how to select fresh ingredients, how to control the heat, and how to match seasonings. He Yuzhu learned humbly and did not dare to slack off. Whenever He Daqing demonstrated a dish, he observed carefully and took notes seriously. He Daqing not only taught him the techniques, but also told him to cook with heart and treat every dish as a work of art. He Yuzhu gradually realized that cooking is not just a skill, but also a mentality.

Once, He Daqing asked He Yuzhu to make a braised pork dish, which was He Yuzhu's favorite dish, but also a dish he could never cook well. He Daqing said to him, "Xiao He, the most important thing in making braised pork is the heat and seasoning. The heat should not be too strong, but should be stewed slowly to make the meat soft and glutinous. The seasoning should be moderate, not too salty or too sweet.
