Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Bang Geng laughed and patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder: "It's okay, take your time, there will always be a chance."

Wang Qiang also felt a little relieved in his heart. He knew that getting along with Lou Xiao'e made him feel very happy and made him feel the warmth and beauty of life. Perhaps this was the happiness he was looking forward to.

Wang Qiang opened his eyes and felt a sharp pain coming from his mouth, which made him frown. He rubbed his cheeks, trying to relieve the discomfort, but the toothache seemed to be getting more and more severe, making it unbearable for him.

"What's wrong, brother Wang Qiang?" Banggeng noticed something was wrong with Wang Qiang and asked with concern.

Wang Qiang spat out the mouthwash in his mouth, smiled bitterly and said, "Well, maybe I accidentally bit my tongue while sleeping, and my tooth hurts badly."

Bang Geng couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Do you want me to find you some painkillers? Or go get Doctor Zhang to check it out?"

Wang Qiang shook his head and tried to calm himself down: "No need, Brother Banggeng, I can handle it myself."

Although Wang Qiang said it firmly, his toothache made him feel very uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and tried to keep himself calm, but the toothache felt like a needle piercing his nerves, making him unable to ignore it.

In this severe pain, Wang Qiang became increasingly irritable and anxious. He felt as if he was in a dark place with no way out. He hoped that the pain would be relieved as soon as possible so that he could return to his normal life.

Under the torture of toothache, Wang Qiang felt exhausted physically and mentally, but he knew that the only thing he could do now was to be patient and wait. He tried to keep himself calm, but every sting seemed to remind him that this pain would not go away easily.

As the night deepened, Wang Qiang still couldn't fall asleep. The toothache made his mind unable to calm down. He could only endure the pain silently, hoping that the arrival of dawn would bring a little relief and comfort.

Wang Qiang closed his eyes, and although the toothache still made it difficult for him to fall asleep, he tried his best to keep quiet. However, at this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the yard, and Wang Qiang's ears sensitively captured this subtle movement.

He opened his eyes and heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but feel a little alert. He knew that it was late at night and the person who suddenly appeared outside the yard might not be a good person.

"Who's outside?" Wang Qiang shouted carefully, trying to make his voice sound firm and powerful.

There was a dull sound outside the yard, and then a thin figure appeared at the door. Wang Qiang looked at the face of the person and found that it was a stranger he had never seen before.

"I'm sorry, brother. I've been hungry all day. Can you give me something to eat?" The stranger's voice was pleading and longing, and his eyes revealed helplessness and urgency.

Wang Qiang looked at the stranger and felt a surge of sympathy in his heart. He knew that the stranger did not look like a bad person and he might have been forced to come here for help because of his difficult life.

"Wait a moment, I'll get you some food." Wang Qiang stood up, turned and walked towards the kitchen, preparing to give the stranger some food.

Bang Geng saw Wang Qiang's actions and followed him. He was full of curiosity and concern for the stranger: "Who is this person? Why did he come here suddenly?"

Wang Qiang gave a bitter smile and explained, "I don't know either. Maybe he's just here to eat for free."

Bang Geng nodded. He also understood that in today's society, some people were forced to do things they had no choice but to do because of the difficulties in life.

A moment later, Wang Qiang came out with a bowl of hot noodles and handed it to the stranger. The stranger took the noodles, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes, he took a bite, and immediately felt satisfied.

"Thank you, brother." The stranger said gratefully, his voice full of sincerity and gratitude.

Wang Qiang and Bang Geng smiled at each other and felt a little satisfied. They knew that although the world is full of difficulties and challenges, as long as people can help and understand each other, life will become better and warmer.

Wang Qiang and Bang Geng continued their conversation in the yard, but suddenly, they realized that there was not enough rice.

"This rice doesn't look like enough. We have to buy some." Banggeng frowned. He noticed that there was only a little rice left in the bowl.

Wang Qiang nodded and agreed: "Yes, this amount of rice is far from enough for us to eat. We have to buy some."

The two discussed and went out, heading towards a nearby store. The streets were a little deserted at night, but it did not affect their determination. They knew that only by ensuring that they had enough food could they survive this long night.

Walking on the road, Wang Qiang couldn't help but sigh: "Recently, prices have been rising more and more. I remember that it only cost a few yuan to buy a kilogram of rice before, but now it costs several yuan."

Banggeng smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, the cost of living is getting higher and higher now. We have to save as much as possible to cope with future challenges."

Wang Qiang took a deep breath, and a trace of worry surged in his heart. He knew that the pressure of life was getting greater and greater, and he was facing more difficulties and challenges. But he did not give up. He was determined to work hard to create a better future for himself and his family.

Finally, they arrived at the store and bought enough rice. On the way home, Wang Qiang's heart was full of hope and expectation for the future. He knew that even in the face of difficulties and challenges, as long as they united as one and worked together, they would be able to overcome everything and welcome a better future.

Wang Qiang and Bang Geng were preparing dinner while chatting about family matters. Suddenly, Wang Qiang remembered something. He remembered that he hadn't seen Qin Huairu for a long time.

"Hey, brother Banggeng, I remembered that I haven't seen Qin Huairu for a long time. How is she recently?" Wang Qiang asked, hoping to find out about Qin Huairu's recent situation.

Bang Geng smiled when he heard what Wang Qiang said: "She has been doing well recently. I heard her say that she has recently started to try to grow Sophora japonica flowers. She seems to be very interested in it."

Wang Qiang nodded after hearing this, and a hint of curiosity surged in his heart. He knew that Qin Huairu was a person who loved nature. She liked to plant all kinds of flowers and plants in the garden. Every time he went to her house, he could see all kinds of plants.

"Then let's go find her tonight and take a look at the locust flowers she planted." Wang Qiang suggested. He was full of anticipation and hoped to chat with Qin Huairu for a while.

Banggeng nodded in agreement: "Okay, I also want to see the acacia flowers she planted. It is said that she has done in-depth research on plants. Maybe I can learn some useful knowledge from her."
