Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Yi Zhonghai smiled slightly: "This is an opportunity that Shazhu fought for himself. He just took a wrong step. As long as he is willing to correct it, we will continue to support him."

Life in the courtyard gradually returned to its former tranquility.

Sha Zhu performed outstandingly in community service and won everyone's respect and recognition.

Qin Huairu's family also gradually learned to be independent. They began to understand that relying on others is not a long-term solution.

Sha Zhu is not only a worker in the courtyard, but also has the daily task of cooking for Qin Huairu's family.

His existence was indispensable to Qin Huairu and her family. However, everything has changed now.

"Huai Ru, why hasn't Sha Zhu come to cook today?" Jia Zhang's voice was sharp and impatient, breaking the morning tranquility.

Qin Huairu sighed. She knew this day would come sooner or later, but she didn’t know how to explain it to her family.

"Mom, Shazhu...something happened to him, and he can't come back to cook now."

"What? Something happened? What about our family?" Jia Zhang's voice was full of dissatisfaction and accusations. "You see, I knew that idiot was unreliable and would cause trouble all day long."

Qin Huairu began to reflect on her original choice of marriage.

If I had chosen Chen Fei back then, would my life be completely different now?

Chen Fei, the man who once secretly liked her, his cooking skills were unmatched in the courtyard. If he became a member of this family, would everything be different?

"I really regret it..." Qin Huairu's voice was almost talking to herself, but Jia Zhang heard it clearly.

"Regret? You feel regretful only now? Let me tell you, that idiot Sha Zhu is locked up in the security department. This matter can be a big deal or a small one. If it affects our family, you'll see how I'll deal with you!" Jia Zhang's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Qin Huairu's heart.

Qin Huairu's heart sank to the bottom.

Sha Zhu’s problem is not just about his personal future, it may also affect the entire family.

She realized that relying on others would eventually lead to difficulties, and she needed to find an independent way to face possible challenges in the future.

As for Sha Zhu, she also had a new understanding - he was not the savior of this family, but a young man who needed help and correction.

Ever since Sha Zhu's accident, food has become a problem for Qin Huairu's family.

In the past, Sha Zhu always cooked for the family on time, but now, they have to face this reality themselves.

At the same time, Chen Fei's life seemed exceptionally comfortable.

His excellent cooking skills are well-known in Siheyuan, especially in making delicious food.

On this day, Chen Fei planned to use the meat coupons in his hand to buy some pork to make delicious bacon.

Chen Fei was busy in the yard, his movements were skillful and professional.

Xiaohan, the dog he raised, was lying nearby, basking in the sun leisurely.

But whenever a stranger approaches, Xiaohan will immediately become alert, showing its powerful guarding ability.

Chen Fei was very satisfied with his cooking skills. He prepared a sumptuous dinner. Not only did he eat it with gusto, he also specially shared some with Xiaohan.

Jia Zhang saw this scene and felt both envious and dissatisfied.

"Look at Fade Chen, he treats that dog better than us." Jia Zhang's voice was full of jealousy and dissatisfaction, "Why can't he help us?"

Jia Zhang's complaints soon spread throughout the courtyard.

She hoped to attract attention and sympathy by cursing loudly, and thus get some help.

When Chen Fei heard these voices, he just smiled faintly. He didn't care about Jia Zhang's accusations.

He knows his lifestyle and choices and doesn't need to explain them to anyone.

However, after hearing these words, Qin Huairu knew that her family really needed help, but she also understood that relying on others was not a long-term solution.

She began to wonder if she should find a way for her family to be self-sufficient.

As the days passed, Qin Huairu's family gradually adapted to life without Sha Zhu.

They began to learn how to cook for themselves. Although the taste was not as good as that of Sha Zhu and Chen Fei, it could at least solve the problem of food and clothing.

Chen Fei would occasionally invite Qin Huairu and her family to try his cooking, and every dinner together made people feel warm and satisfied.

Xiaohan would also wag his tail and beg for favors, as if welcoming every guest.

As time goes by, the people in the courtyard begin to gradually understand Chen Fei's lifestyle and have a new understanding of the relationship between him and Xiao Han.

They no longer laughed at Chen Fei's love for dogs, but began to appreciate his love of life and care for animals.

Qin Huairu also gradually let go of her envy and jealousy of Chen Fei. She understood that everyone has their own lifestyle and choices.

She began to respect Chen Fei's choice and worked hard to find her own happiness.

Life in the courtyard goes on, and although there are sometimes minor frictions and dissatisfactions, overall, people live in peace and harmony.

Chen Fei's bacon is still fragrant, Xiaohan's ability to look after the house is getting stronger and stronger, and Qin Huairu's family is gradually learning to be independent.

Chen Fei's life seemed to be unaffected by these disturbances.

He still lives a leisurely and comfortable life, and always chooses to turn a deaf ear to the gossip.

Especially when Jia Zhang was cursing, Chen Fei seemed to be standing aside and didn't take it seriously.

On the contrary, Chen Fei seemed more willing to focus his energy on his beloved dog Xiaohan.

Whenever Xiaohan wagged his tail and begged for favors, Chen Fei would always generously share the food in his hands, and even specially prepare some delicious dishes for Xiaohan.

This behavior is undoubtedly a silent counterattack against Jia Zhang's curse and also a manifestation of his attitude towards life.

Qin Huairu saw all of this and began to reflect on whether her life would be completely different now if she had chosen Chen Fei.

Maybe, she wouldn't be as anxious as she is now, and wouldn't be worried about Sha Zhu's affairs.

At this moment, news came from the courtyard that the matter between Yu Zhu and Ma Hua was about to be revealed.

This news was like a huge rock pressing on Qin Huairu's heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

The outcome of this incident not only affects Sha Zhu's future, but also the fate of their entire family.

Qin Huairu realized that Sha Zhu's fate was of vital importance to the whole family.

Over the years, Sha Zhu has not only been the pillar of the family, but also the support in her heart.

Although she had been dissatisfied and accused him before, at this moment, she just hoped that Sha Zhu would be safe.

However, the gears of fate had already begun to turn. The news of Sha Zhu's accident had been spreading for two days, and the entire courtyard was paying attention to the development of the matter.

Qin Huairu felt very uneasy. She was worried about Sha Zhu's safety, and even more worried that her whole family would be implicated.

Just when Qin Huairu was extremely anxious, an old man brought news that the matter of Sha Zhu was about to come to a conclusion.

This news excited Qin Huairu, but at the same time she felt unprecedentedly nervous.

This conclusion not only concerns Sha Zhu's future, but also the hopes of their entire family.

However, despite the happy ending, Qin Huairu still felt a lingering fear.

The happiness and future of a family cannot depend solely on Sha Zhu.

We need to find a more independent and stable lifestyle to face possible challenges in the future.

Qin Huairu began to re-plan her family's life. She encouraged her family to learn to cook together and share housework. Gradually, their lives began to change.
