Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

He quickly said goodbye and hurried back home. After taking off his wet clothes, he felt his body gradually warming up. Wang Qiang stood in front of the mirror, looking at his miserable appearance, feeling helpless and self-mocking. Although he was a little unhappy about losing his coat, he knew he should adjust his mentality and not let this little episode affect his next plan.

He put on clean clothes, took out his phone, and prepared a list for himself. Next, he decided to go to the market to buy some more ingredients and prepare a plan for lunch. He thought that no matter what troubles he encountered, he should not let small things affect his outlook on the future.

In the afternoon market, Wang Qiang started a new shopping trip with full enthusiasm. Although his clothes were lost, he was not depressed. Instead, his previous experience strengthened his determination and thought about how to better serve the residents of the Siheyuan.

At the market, Wang Qiang bought some fresh ingredients and specially selected some delicious toppings. His movements became more skillful, and although his face was still a little tired, he seemed more motivated. He talked cordially with the vendors, learned about the characteristics of various ingredients, and even asked them for some cooking tips. His heart was full of longing for the future, thinking about how to make everyone feel warm and cared for.

In the evening, Wang Qiang returned to the courtyard with a large bag of food. He was busy in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous dinner. Despite some setbacks, his enthusiasm remained undiminished. Every move he made was full of meticulousness and care, hoping that through these efforts, everyone would feel his sincerity and care.

While cooking, Wang Qiang was busy thinking. He thought of the previous conversation with Jia Zhang, and his heart was full of expectations for the future. He hoped that through this effort, he could further strengthen the relationship with everyone and solve various problems in the courtyard.

The dinner table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and the aroma filled the air. Wang Qiang stood in the kitchen, and although his forehead was soaked with sweat, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He looked at the dishes on the table and smiled with satisfaction. He knew that these dishes were not just for filling his stomach, but also the result of his hard work.

As Wang Qiang was busy, everything in the kitchen seemed in order. His cooking skills were not top-notch, but he carefully studied every recipe and tried to do his best. Every dish was carefully seasoned by him, striving to make every bite satisfying. Although he was not a professional chef, this effort and care was the best gift he could give.

"Oh, Wang Qiang, the aroma here is really mouth-watering!" Jia Zhang walked into the kitchen and saw the table full of dishes. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Did you prepare this dinner specially for everyone?"

Wang Qiang saw Jia Zhang coming and smiled: "Yes, Aunt Jia. I hope that through this meal, everyone can be more relaxed. I really hope that these little thoughts can bring some changes to what happened before."

Jia Zhang looked at Wang Qiang's busy figure, and her eyes showed some tenderness. "It seems that you are really dedicated. I also saw that you have been trying your best to improve everyone's life recently. It's really not easy."

Wang Qiang felt warm in his heart when he heard these words. Although he did not do these things for the sake of gaining others' praise, he felt a little rewarded when he heard Jia Zhang's recognition. "In fact, I just did my best and hope to bring about some positive changes."

Wang Qiang picked up a dish and walked to the dining table. He carefully placed it and glanced at the surroundings. Although the environment was still simple, he tried his best to make it more comfortable. He took a deep breath and felt a little nervous. Although he had tried his best, he was still worried whether everyone would like the meal.

At this time, Jia Zhang was already sitting at the table with a relaxed smile on her face. Wang Qiang also sat down and started chatting with everyone. The dining atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Wang Qiang talked with Jia Zhang about some recent events while eating. They talked about the fresh ingredients in the market and discussed some issues on how to improve the courtyard. Although the content of the conversation was simple, the relationship between the two sides seemed closer in this warm atmosphere.

"Wang Qiang, this meal is really good." Jia Zhang picked up a piece of food and said appreciatively, "You really put a lot of effort into it."

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it." Wang Qiang responded gratefully, "In fact, cooking also makes me feel very relaxed. Although I'm busy at work, these small efforts make me feel that everything is worth it."

As everyone chatted while eating, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed. Wang Qiang found that Jia Zhang's attitude became more open and her smile became more sincere. He was filled with joy, knowing that his efforts were not in vain.

"Wang Qiang, your craftsmanship is really good." Jia Zhang looked at Wang Qiang with some praise in her eyes, "I have been here for a few years, and I rarely see people who are so dedicated."

"Aunt Jia, you're too kind." Wang Qiang lowered his head and smiled, "I just hope to make everyone's life better through these methods. In fact, I'm also learning how to better solve problems, and I hope to do better in the future."

Jia Zhang nodded, her eyes softening. "People like this are worthy of respect. Although we sometimes disagree, I believe that as long as we can communicate sincerely, we will definitely find a way to solve the problem."

Wang Qiang felt warm in his heart and felt that he and Jia Zhang were getting closer and closer. He knew that a harmonious atmosphere could not be established overnight, but every attentive communication and hard work would make the relationship more harmonious.

Dinner was coming to an end, everyone was full and laughing. Wang Qiang was cleaning the table, looking at the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces, and felt a sense of accomplishment. He felt that this dinner was not just an ordinary meal, but also a part of his efforts to build interpersonal relationships.

During the short break after dinner, Wang Qiang sat in the living room and felt a peace he had never felt before. He watched Jia Zhang chatting happily with other residents, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. Although there are still many problems to be solved, he has seen some positive changes.

A few hours after dinner, Wang Qiang sat on the sofa, flipping through some old books, thinking about how to further improve the living conditions of the courtyard house. His mind was filled with various plans and ideas, the goal was not only to solve the existing problems, but also to create a warm and comfortable living environment.
