Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

So Wang Qiang and Bang Geng decided to visit Qin Huairu after dinner. They enjoyed dinner together happily, and then got ready to go out.

Wang Qiang and Liang Ladi walked side by side on the city's streets, surrounded by people coming and going, cars and traffic, and the hustle and bustle of the city filled their ears. Liang Ladi pointed out the way while chatting with Wang Qiang about the changes in the city.

"Brother Wang Qiang, look, this used to be a field, but now there are high-rise buildings here. The city has changed so much." Liang Ladi said with emotion, her eyes full of yearning and curiosity for the city.

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded. He was also shocked by the scene before him: "Yes, the city is developing so fast. There are new changes every time I come here."

They continued walking forward, passing through the busy commercial street, and arrived at the square in the city center. The square was bustling with people, various activities were going on, and laughter and cheers were heard everywhere. Wang Qiang and Liang Ladi stood in the square, looking into the distance, and an inexplicable excitement and joy surged in their hearts.

"Brother Wang Qiang, look, there's a cafe over there. Let's go there and have a cup of coffee." Liang Ladi suggested, pointing to a cafe in the distance.

Wang Qiang nodded, and a sense of joy welled up in his heart. He knew that walking in the city with Liang Ladi was a rare enjoyment and relaxation. They walked into the cafe, ordered two cups of coffee, sat by the window, and quietly admired the scenery outside the window.

Liang Ladi picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of coffee, her eyes revealing a sense of satisfaction and happiness: "Brother Wang Qiang, thank you for accompanying me to the city. It's such a wonderful night."

Wang Qiang looked at Liang Ladi's smile and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that being with Liang Ladi was a kind of happiness and joy. Their friendship was as fragrant as this cup of coffee, which made people feel warm.

Wang Qiang was walking on his way home, feeling a little heavy-hearted. He couldn't help but start thinking about his recent living environment and interpersonal relationships.

"The atmosphere these days is really not very good." Wang Qiang whispered to himself, his heart full of worry. He felt that the people around him seemed to be less and less trusting of each other, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for them to understand and support each other.

He recalled the scene he had seen in the square in the city center, where people were pushing and shoving each other, arguing endlessly, as if it was a microcosm of interpersonal relationships. He deeply felt the negative impact this atmosphere had on him.

"Maybe I should do something to change this situation." A sense of determination emerged in Wang Qiang's heart. He decided to start with himself, actively spread positive energy, and work hard to improve the atmosphere around him.

Back home, Wang Qiang sat quietly by the bed, thinking about his plan. He knew that it would take a lot of effort to change the atmosphere around him, but he did not back down and believed that he could make some changes.

The next day, Wang Qiang started to take action. He actively participated in community activities, helped neighbors solve problems, treated others kindly, and tried to spread positive energy. His behavior gradually gained recognition and support from those around him, and the atmosphere around him became warm and harmonious.

Wang Qiang was picking fresh vegetables in the market. His eyes scanned the various varieties, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, showing his love for life and pursuit of food. Whenever he saw a brightly colored vegetable, he would reach out and touch it to feel its freshness and softness.

"This bundle looks good." Wang Qiang carefully selected the vegetables, and the crisp sound in his hands made him feel happy. He knew that buying fresh ingredients was the first step to making a delicious meal, and it was also an attitude and pursuit towards life.

After selecting the vegetables, Wang Qiang walked straight to the cashier. He took out his wallet, paid, and walked out of the market with a bag full of vegetables. The sun was shining, and the breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, which made Wang Qiang feel relaxed and happy.

Back home, Wang Qiang washed the vegetables and prepared to start cooking. He turned on the faucet, and clear water gushed out of the faucet, sprinkling on the vegetables, washing away the dirt on the surface and making them fresher.

Wang Qiang picked up the kitchen knife and began to skillfully cut the vegetables. His knife skills were skillful and steady, and each cut was just right, not too much or too little. He enjoyed the cooking process and felt happy and fulfilled.

"Dinner will be ready soon." Wang Qiang thought, full of anticipation. He knew that a delicious dinner would not only satisfy his taste buds, but also bring him

However, one day, a shocking news came from the courtyard - Jia Zhang was going to remarry. This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing a storm in the whole courtyard. Wang Qiang was stunned and looked at his grandmother in disbelief, with all kinds of questions and confusions in his heart.

"Grandma, do you... do you really want to remarry?" Wang Qiang's voice trembled slightly.

Jia Zhang looked at the young man in front of her, her eyes full of love and apology, "My child, grandma doesn't want this to happen, but you also know that I'm not young anymore, and it's too lonely to be alone."

Wang Qiang nodded silently. He understood his grandmother's feelings, but still found it hard to accept this reality.

Just then, a tall man walked into the yard. He had a smile on his face and looked very elegant, giving people a friendly and calm feeling.

"This is the person I want to remarry, Mr. Liu." Jia Zhang pointed at the man and introduced him.

Mr. Liu smiled and extended his hand to Wang Qiang. "Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm Liu Ming, nice to meet you."

Wang Qiang hesitated for a moment, then shook Liu Ming's hand, "Hello, Mr. Liu."

Liu Ming's arrival brought a new breath to the courtyard. He and Jia Zhang took care of everything in the courtyard together, bringing new life to this ancient family.

However, Wang Qiang could not fully accept this new reality. The doubts and uneasiness in his heart were like thorns, piercing his heart. He did not know how to face all this, nor did he know whether he could truly accept Liu Ming as his stepfather.

Wang Qiang looked at the intimate figures of Liu Ming and Jia Zhang, and his heart was filled with complex emotions. He remembered the fact that his parents died early, and felt lonely and lost, but at the same time he was infected by his grandmother's happiness and did not want to break this happy atmosphere. However, the inner contradiction became more and more unbearable, and he felt that he needed to seek some answers.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Wang Qiang decided to find Jia Dongxu, his childhood sweetheart and another important figure in the courtyard, to share his thoughts.
