Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Okay, uncle, let's go pick peppers. I was thinking of going there too." He Yuzhu agreed immediately and said with a smile, "Wait until I cook the porridge, and then we'll set off."

He Daqing felt a little relieved when he saw He Yuzhu busy. Perhaps, he really needed to find the rhythm of life again through these daily trivialities and put aside those heavy thoughts. In any case, life must go on, and he didn't want to continue to fall into endless thinking and pain.

After breakfast, He Daqing and He Yuzhu packed up and went out together. On the way, the cool morning breeze blew on their faces, bringing a refreshing feeling. He Yuzhu talked and laughed along the way, trying to relax his uncle. Although he also knew that the knot in He Daqing's heart would not be untied in a short time, it could at least make him forget those troubles temporarily.

"Uncle, you said that the peppers can grow so well this year. It's really a blessing from God." He Yuzhu said casually, remembering that the weather this summer is particularly suitable for the growth of crops. The peppers in the pepper fields are all big and red, which makes people feel comfortable.

"Yes, the peppers are really good this year." He Daqing nodded in agreement, with a look of relief in his eyes. Although there was still an indelible haze in his heart, he felt a little calmer when he saw these vibrant peppers. Perhaps these simple things in life are the most worth cherishing.

Arriving at the pepper field, He Yuzhu leaned over and began to pick peppers with skillful and quick movements. He liked this kind of down-to-earth labor, which not only gave him a sense of satisfaction from labor, but also allowed him to temporarily forget the troubles in life. He Daqing slowly walked aside, watching He Yuzhu busy in the field, and gradually felt a little peaceful in his heart.

He Daqing lowered his body and began to pick peppers. His movements were no longer as swift as He Yuzhu's, but seemed to be particularly careful, as if he was communicating with these bright red peppers in some kind of silent way. Every time he picked a pepper, he would pause for a moment, as if he was experiencing the real feeling of being touched by the pepper. This feeling made him feel a rare sense of relaxation, as if all the tediousness in life could be relieved through this simple labor.

"Uncle, take your time, don't get tired." He Yuzhu looked up and saw He Daqing picking peppers carefully, and couldn't help but remind him. He knew that what his uncle needed now was calmness, not impatience and pressure.

He Daqing raised his head, smiled slightly, and nodded. He knew He Yuzhu's concern, but he also felt that through this meticulous work, his mood was gradually relieved. "I'm fine, just think of it as stretching my muscles."

After picking peppers for a while, He Daqing felt that the pain in his chest seemed to dissipate a little. The entanglement and pain that lingered in his heart seemed to be dispelled by the concentration in this kind of labor. He suddenly realized that perhaps many problems in life do not need to be deliberately solved, but can be alleviated in a natural way.

Next to a lush pepper plant, He Daqing found a particularly large pepper, the bright red fruit shining in the sun. He gently picked the pepper and felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Some moments in life, perhaps such simple and real moments, can make him forget his troubles for a while.

He Yuzhu saw He Daqing holding the big pepper in his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, you have picked a treasure. This pepper looks appetizing."

"Yes." He Daqing gently stroked the pepper with a smile in his eyes. Although the haze in his heart had not completely dissipated, he felt a long-lost tranquility in this simple moment. This tranquility was so precious that he didn't want to think about those complicated things anymore, as if he could find the meaning of life as long as he focused on the present.

"Uncle, I think the most important thing in life is to be able to find something that makes you happy occasionally, even if it's just picking peppers." He Yuzhu said as he continued to work, seeming to be infected by the vitality of the field.

He Daqing nodded, thinking silently about what He Yuzhu said. Perhaps, this is what he has been ignoring all along - simple happiness comes from the little things in life, not those complicated thoughts and heavy emotions. He suddenly felt that his previous entanglement and pain seemed to be no longer so important. Life must go on, and he should learn to find his own peace in these simple moments.

The sun gradually rose higher, and the light in the pepper field became brighter. He Daqing and He Yuzhu continued to work in tacit understanding, and no more extra words were needed between them. The tranquility at this moment made them feel a rare satisfaction.

He Daqing watched He Yuzhu's busy figure, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that there would always be various difficulties and problems in life, but as long as there were relatives like He Yuzhu around, everything would no longer be so unbearable. This simple morning gave him new strength and the courage to face the challenges in life.

When they finally picked a basket full of peppers, He Daqing felt much more relaxed. He patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You did a good job today. You can have a good meal with these peppers when you go back."

He Yuzhu looked up, his face was covered with sweat, but his smile was still bright: "Uncle, don't worry, today I will make you the most authentic fried pork with peppers, I guarantee you will enjoy it."

He Daqing nodded and smiled, feeling a long-lost sense of satisfaction in his heart. Although there are still many unsolved problems in life, he has decided not to let those hazes affect his mood. The little things in life are the most real source of happiness, and he is willing to cherish these simple happiness.

The sun shines on the country road. With the breeze blowing gently, the grass on the ground sways slightly, and the dew between the leaves glitters with subtle light. He Daqing and He Yuzhu carry baskets on their shoulders and walk on the country road with steady and powerful steps. However, when they pass a low-lying field, He Daqing suddenly hears the sound of "quack" ringing in his ears one after another.

"What's that sound?" He Daqing stopped, frowned, and listened. The ground under his feet seemed a little wet, with a faint gleam of water, and the sound came from this low-lying field.

He Yuzhu also stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, then laughed. "Uncle, those are frogs. They come out when there is a lot of water in the fields."
