Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing's mood became more complicated. He felt the pain and guilt of the White Widow, and understood that she still had unresolved difficulties deep in her heart. However, he could not get rid of the feeling of betrayal. He tried to control his emotions and his tone became more resolute: "White Widow, I need time to consider the future of this relationship. I hope you understand that I can't make a decision right now, but I will try to sort out my thoughts."

Widow Bai nodded, with helplessness and despair in her eyes. She knew that He Daqing's decision would affect their relationship, and she knew she had to accept this reality. She took a deep breath, stood up, and tried to calm her inner fluctuations: "Thank you, He Daqing. I will respect your decision and hope you can find your own answer."

As night fell, He Daqing sat on the bench, his emotions still in turmoil. He knew that the challenges facing this relationship came not only from external difficulties, but also from the struggle and pain deep in his heart. His heart seemed to be torn in two, on the one hand, there was affection and trust for the White Widow, and on the other hand, he could not let go of the betrayal and concealment. Everything in the courtyard seemed to reflect the fluctuations and struggles in his heart.

One morning, the sun shone through the windows of the courtyard onto the floor, warm and bright. He Daqing decided to temporarily put aside his inner troubles and go to the vegetable garden outside to pick some peppers. The vegetable garden has always been a place for him to relax. Although he is in a complicated mood now, he hopes to relieve his inner depression through some simple labor.

He Yuzhu got up early in the morning. Seeing his uncle's decision, he ran over excitedly to help prepare some tools for picking peppers. Yuzhu was full of enthusiasm for this kind of farm work, especially on such a bright morning. He and He Daqing walked out of the courtyard and headed for the vegetable garden. The air under the sun was filled with the fresh smell of soil, which made people feel a sense of tranquility.

In the vegetable garden, the green plants looked particularly vibrant in the sun, and the pepper trees were full of red fruits, like strings of burning lanterns. He Daqing and Yu Zhu began to work in the garden. He Daqing tried his best to focus on the work at hand, but he still couldn't get rid of the heaviness in his heart.

Yuzhu excitedly squatted in front of a chili tree, holding a basket in his hand and ready to pick the peppers. While working, he chatted with He Daqing: "Uncle, what do you think of this chili? Is it very spicy?"

He Daqing smiled slightly, trying to hide his complicated emotions. He lowered his head and concentrated on picking peppers. The moment his fingers touched the peppers, the slightly spicy smell spread in the air. "Peppers are spicy, but they also symbolize a passion for life. Just like our lives, although we may encounter difficulties sometimes, we still have to maintain passion and courage."

Hearing this, Yu Zhu paused for a moment and looked up at his uncle's face. He could sense that He Daqing's mood was fluctuating, so he asked cautiously, "Uncle, are you worried about something? I feel like you haven't been in a good mood lately."

He Daqing's movements paused slightly. He knew that Yu Zhu's concern was sincere, but he didn't want to involve the young man too much in his troubles. He adjusted his mood and tried to make himself look relaxed: "It's not a big problem, just some small things that make people a little upset. It doesn't matter. After this period of time, I will take care of everything."

Although Yuzhu didn't completely believe what his uncle said, he respected He Daqing's choice and decided not to ask any more questions. He changed the subject and started discussing the plants in the vegetable garden with his uncle: "Uncle, what do you think of the harvest this year? I think these peppers are growing very well."

He Daqing followed up the topic and responded: "The weather this year is very good, and the peppers are growing really well. This is also the result of our hard work. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will always see results if we remain patient and focused when doing things."

The two continued to work in the vegetable garden, with occasional laughter and conversation. Although He Daqing still had many unsolved mysteries in his heart, in such work, he could at least temporarily put down the burden in his heart and feel some simple happiness and sense of accomplishment.

After working for a while, the basket was already full of peppers. He Daqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little satisfied when he looked at the basket full of peppers. He knew that although these small fruits of labor could not solve all problems, they could at least make him forget his inner troubles to a certain extent.

Yu Zhu looked at the basket full of chili peppers and said excitedly, "Uncle, we did a great job today. I plan to make some chili sauce when I get home and share it with us and our neighbors. What do you think?"

He Daqing smiled and nodded, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He knew that although there are many challenges in life, these simple joys and family love are always the most important. "Good idea, Yuzhu. The chili sauce can not only add flavor to the dishes, but also make us feel the warmth of family."

Together they packed up their tools and returned to the courtyard with a basket full of peppers. Despite the pain and doubts in his heart, He Daqing knew that there were still many things in life worth cherishing. The time spent with Yu Zhu brought him a rare sense of peace and comfort.

After returning home, He Daqing decided to divide the peppers into several portions. In addition to keeping some for his own seasoning, he also planned to give them to his neighbors. He knew that such a small action would not only help him restore some psychological balance, but also allow him to find some new direction and meaning in life.

One morning, just after dawn, He Daqing decided to go to the vegetable garden to check the moisture of the soil. He knew that the air was humid in the mornings of autumn, and the state of the soil was crucial to the growth of vegetables. Although he was still a little uneasy, he hoped to find a balance through these practical labors.

He walked through the courtyard and came to the vegetable garden, where he found a patch of moist soil emitting a scent of soil. The green plants in the freshly cleaned field looked particularly vibrant. However, in the corner of the field, He Daqing suddenly found something unusual - several frogs were jumping in the moist soil, making bursts of slight croaking sounds.

He Daqing was slightly stunned, and lowered his head to observe these frogs carefully. He knew that frogs usually like humid environments, but it was rare to see so many frogs gathering in the same area.
