Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Ran Qiuye was a little embarrassed: "I know you are very busy at work. If it is really inconvenient, I can go by myself."

Wang Qiang smiled and waved his hand: "I may be busy, but I can't delay my friend's business. Tell me what you want to buy. I happen to be off tomorrow, so I can help you run the trip."

Ran Qiuye looked at Wang Qiang's expression. She knew that Wang Qiang was a reliable person, so she stopped refusing. She took out her phone, flipped through a shopping list and handed it to Wang Qiang: "It's nothing special, just some daily necessities and a few clothes. Sometimes it's hard to choose when I go shopping by myself. It happens that you have a good eye, so you can help me look."

Wang Qiang took the phone, looked at the list carefully, and nodded: "Okay, leave it to me, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

The next morning, Wang Qiang got up and started to work on Ran Qiuye's affairs. He took the list to the city's shopping mall, where the goods were complete and the quality was guaranteed. He knew that although Ran Qiuye usually dressed simply, she still had high requirements for the quality of life.

Wang Qiang first went to the clothing area and picked out a few clothes of the style that Ran Qiuye liked. He carefully looked at the material and style of each piece of clothing, thinking about how Ran Qiuye would look in these clothes. Wang Qiang was not particularly good at choosing clothes, but he carefully compared the colors and textures of several clothes and finally chose a light blue shirt and a plain dress.

Then, Wang Qiang went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities. Shampoo, skin care products, laundry detergent, these seemingly ordinary things, Wang Qiang carefully selected good quality brands. Ran Qiuye is a careful person, he knows that these small things are also very important to her.

After finishing the selection, Wang Qiang walked out of the mall with a bag full of things. He felt a special sense of satisfaction in his heart, not only because he had completed the task, but also because he could do something for Ran Qiuye, which made him feel that he was also caring and helping others.

After returning home, Wang Qiang carefully sorted out the things he bought and put them into a beautiful bag. He thought about Ran Qiuye's expression when she saw these things, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

In the evening, Wang Qiang arrived downstairs of Ran Qiuye's house on time. Ran Qiuye had been waiting for him for a long time, and when she saw Wang Qiang coming with a lot of bags, she smiled with gratitude.

"Qiangzi, you bought so many things. Thank you for your hard work." Ran Qiuye took the bag, with a gentle light in her eyes.

"It's okay. I have plenty of time to choose." Wang Qiang said with a smile, "Take a look at these things to see if they are suitable. If you are not satisfied with them, I will change them."

Ran Qiuye opened the bag and looked at the neatly arranged clothes and daily necessities inside. She knew that Wang Qiang was a careful person, but she didn't expect that he would spend so much time selecting these things.

"Thank you, Qiangzi, these things are very suitable." Ran Qiuye said sincerely, "You are so thoughtful, I really don't know how to thank you. Waving his hand: "We are old friends, these are nothing. I'm glad you like it."

Ran Qiuye looked at him gratefully and silently remembered this friendship in her heart. She knew that Wang Qiang always gave silently to others and never asked for anything in return, which was why she always cherished this friendship.

"How about you come up and sit down, I'll make a pot of tea and we can have a good chat." Ran Qiuye suddenly suggested.

Wang Qiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. The two went upstairs together. Ran Qiuye's home was decorated simply and warmly, and the room was filled with a faint floral scent, which made people feel particularly relaxed. She poured Wang Qiang a cup of hot tea, and the two sat on the sofa and continued to chat.

"Qiangzi, you must be very busy with work recently. I see you took time out to buy things for me today. I'm really sorry." Ran Qiuye said softly.

Wang Qiang shook his head. "It's busy, but there has to be some spice in life. I also think that buying things for you this time is an opportunity to relax. Besides, it's normal for friends to help each other."

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. She looked at Wang Qiang with gratitude in her eyes: "Qiangzi, you have always been so reliable. I really feel lucky to have a friend like you."

Wang Qiang felt a little embarrassed when she said that: "Qiu Ye, I feel a little embarrassed for you to say that. We are friends, and this is what we should do."

Ran Qiuye nodded, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes. She knew in her heart that Wang Qiang's kindness to her was far more than a simple help, and this warmth and care made her feel extremely precious.

As the night deepened, Wang Qiang and Ran Qiuye continued their conversation in a warm atmosphere. The light in the room was soft, stretching the shadows of the two people. Ran Qiuye always smiled gently when she spoke, and her voice was like a gentle breeze, making Wang Qiang feel extremely relaxed.

When the two talked about work, Ran Qiuye mentioned her father, Teacher Ran. Teacher Ran was Wang Qiang's middle school teacher and also the one who guided him on the road to becoming a craftsman. Teacher Ran was serious and strict with his students, but Wang Qiang always had deep respect for him. Teacher Ran not only taught Wang Qiang a lot of technical knowledge, but also taught him how to face the difficulties and challenges in life.

"My dad has been talking about you recently." Ran Qiuye said with a smile, a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes. His heart moved slightly, and he was a little surprised: "Teacher Ran mentioned me? What did he say?"

Ran Qiuye smiled and deliberately kept it a secret: "What do you think?"

Wang Qiang frowned, feeling a little uneasy. Teacher Ran always had high expectations for his students, and Wang Qiang didn't know if he was satisfied with his recent performance. Although he had achieved good results in the factory competition, Wang Qiang still felt that he still had a lot to improve.

"Is he going to criticize me?" Wang Qiang asked half-jokingly, but he was really nervous.

Ran Qiuye saw this and shook his head gently, smiling even more: "You really guessed wrong. My dad told me about you a few days ago, saying that you have been doing very well in the factory recently and even won the championship. He said that you are becoming more and more promising and are a good seedling."

Hearing this, Wang Qiang was immediately filled with an indescribable feeling of being touched and proud. He has always respected Teacher Ran. Although they haven't seen each other for many years, Teacher Ran's words are still a great recognition and encouragement to him. It is undoubtedly a great sense of accomplishment for Wang Qiang to be affirmed by Teacher Ran.

"Did Teacher Ran really say that?" Wang Qiang couldn't believe it, with joy flashing in his eyes.

Ran Qiuye nodded and said seriously: "Of course it's true. My dad is the kind of person who doesn't praise others easily, but he really thinks highly of you. He said that not only your skills are getting better and better, but you have also made great progress in dealing with people. He is proud of you."
