Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Wang Qiang was touched, knowing that his efforts were not in vain. He chatted with Liu Haizhong for a while, and when he returned to the courtyard, he felt full of strength.

In the evening, Wang Qiang, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were drinking tea and chatting in the yard. He Yuzhu looked at Wang Qiang and said with a smile: "Qiangzi, you are a completely different person now. You are becoming more and more courageous."

Wang Qiang felt He Yuzhu's praise and was filled with confidence: "Yuzhu, I know that everyone has helped me a lot during this period. I will definitely work harder and live up to everyone's expectations."

He Yuzhu nodded, his eyes full of relief: "Qiangzi, we are all brothers, there is no need to say this. As long as we work together, the life in Siheyuan will definitely get better and better."

As Wang Qiang continued to exercise, his weight gradually decreased, but he knew that if he wanted to lose weight completely, exercise alone was not enough, and he also needed to adjust his diet. He decided to eat more vegetarian dishes and less greasy food from today. This idea made him feel relieved, as if the path to losing weight had become clearer.

One morning, Wang Qiang got up early, went to the kitchen, and started preparing breakfast. He opened the refrigerator and found fresh vegetables, tofu, and some simple seasonings. Wang Qiang decided to make a stir-fried tofu dish with some vegetarian dishes. He skillfully cut the tofu and vegetables, heated the pan, poured oil, and started stir-frying. The kitchen soon smelled of tempting aromas, and he felt satisfied and thought his decision was right.

At breakfast time, He Yuzhu smelled the fragrance, walked into the kitchen, looked at the vegetarian dishes and tofu on the table, and said with a smile: "Qiangzi, why are you eating so light today?"

Wang Qiang nodded and smiled, "Yes, Yuzhu, I think losing weight should start with diet. Eating some vegetarian dishes is good for the body and can also reduce fat."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "You are right, Qiangzi. Health is the most important thing. Vegetarian food is indeed better than greasy food. Let's eat together!"

They sat together at the table, enjoying a light but delicious breakfast. Wang Qiang felt happy, as if every bite of vegetarian food brought him a refreshing feeling.

On this day, Wang Qiang continued to be busy, but he was always thinking about his weight loss plan. He met Xu Damao in the market, and Xu Damao smiled and joked: "Qiangzi, you have changed a lot recently, even eating more."

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded, "Yes, Brother Damao, I think losing weight requires not only exercise, but also attention to diet. I've been eating vegetarian food recently, and it feels good."

Xu Damao nodded approvingly: "That's good, Qiangzi. The body is the capital of revolution, and health is the most important. If you keep doing this, you will definitely lose weight."

In the evening, Wang Qiang returned to the courtyard and saw Qin Huairu busy in the yard. She looked up and saw Wang Qiang, and smiled and said, "Qiangzi, are you running again today?"

Wang Qiang nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, Sister Huairu, I exercise every day and change my eating habits to eat some vegetarian dishes."

Qin Huairu listened, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes: "You are really determined, Qiangzi. Losing weight is really not easy, and not many people can stick to it."

Wang Qiang felt Qin Huairu's recognition and felt relieved: "Thank you for your encouragement, Sister Huairu. I will continue to work hard."

At dinner time, Wang Qiang, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao gathered together again. They prepared a sumptuous vegetarian dinner together, with the table full of various vegetables and tofu. He Yuzhu picked up a plate of stir-fried tofu and said with a smile: "Today's dish is really good, Qiangzi, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Wang Qiang smiled modestly: "Yuzhu, this is all thanks to everyone. The most important thing is that we eat healthily together."

They ate and talked about how to better maintain a healthy lifestyle. Wang Qiang felt warm in his heart, knowing that with the support of these friends, his weight loss journey would be smoother.

A few days later, Wang Qiang was exercising in the yard when he met his old neighbor Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong looked at Wang Qiang's figure and said with a smile: "Qiangzi, you have lost a lot of weight recently. It seems that your weight loss plan is very effective."

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded: "Yes, Brother Haizhong, I exercise every day and eat some vegetarian food. I feel a lot more relaxed."

Liu Haizhong patted his shoulder, with a hint of appreciation in his tone: "Qiangzi, you are really determined. I am optimistic about you, and you will definitely succeed in losing weight."

A few days later, Wang Qiang's weight continued to drop, but his appetite became more and more picky. Since he started eating vegetarian food, he found that he became more and more sensitive to greasy food, and even felt a little nauseous. At noon that day, a small party was held in the courtyard. Everyone brought their own specialties, and many greasy meat dishes piled up on the table.

Wang Qiang walked to the table and looked at the delicious food, but he felt uncomfortable. He took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, walked aside quietly, and only picked some light vegetables and tofu. He Yuzhu noticed his movements, walked over and asked softly: "Qiangzi, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Wang Qiang forced a smile and shook his head: "It's okay, Yuzhu, I'm a little disgusted with greasy things recently and can't eat them."

He Yuzhu nodded, a trace of concern flashing in his eyes: "Qiangzi, your health is important, don't force yourself if you don't feel well. Otherwise, I will accompany you to see a doctor?"

Wang Qiang waved his hand and said firmly, "No need, Yuzhu, I know my body. Maybe I've been eating too light recently, so my appetite is a little bit uncomfortable."

They sat aside, quietly eating vegetarian dishes and listening to the laughter around them. Wang Qiang felt warm. Although he was not used to these greasy foods, he was still full of strength with He Yuzhu's company.

After the party, Wang Qiang returned to his room and lay on his bed, thinking about what had just happened. He knew that he couldn't go on like this and had to find a balanced diet that would both help him lose weight and stay healthy. He decided to go to the market tomorrow to buy more abundant ingredients and try new recipes.

The next morning, Wang Qiang got up early and went to the market. The market was bustling with people, and there were all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish. He carefully selected them and had a new plan in mind.

After returning to the courtyard, Wang Qiang walked into the kitchen and began to prepare lunch. He decided to make a steamed fish dish and a few vegetarian dishes. Steamed fish is not greasy and provides enough nutrition, which is a good choice. He cleaned the fish, put ginger slices and scallions on it, drizzled some soy sauce and cooking wine, and put it in the steamer.
