Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

Sha Zhu watched them gradually fall asleep, his heart full of expectations for the future. He knew that even in the face of difficulties and challenges, as long as the family united and faced them together, they would be able to overcome everything.

Uncle He also watched this scene quietly, his eyes full of emotion. He knew that although Sha Zhu was a little "silly", his heart was so kind and strong. He was a lovely child and a responsible brother.

In this ordinary and warm family, everyone has his or her own role and responsibilities. They rely on each other, face the challenges of life together, and pursue happiness and beauty together.

The morning sun shines through the curtains into the room, and the warm light makes the room bright and comfortable. Xiaodang, Xiaohuaihua and Xiaomianhua have already gotten up early. They are sitting at the table, making breakfast seriously.

"Brother, get up and come have breakfast!" Xiaodang shouted with a smile.

Sha Zhu slowly sat up from the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

He walked slowly to the table, watching his sisters busy at work, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth. Over the years, his sisters have been working hard to study and live, and in order not to add burden to him, they try to reduce expenses and save every penny.

"Thank you, I know you have worked hard for me." Sha Zhu said gratefully.

Little Sophora japonica turned around and said with a smile: "Brother, this is what we should do."

Little Cotton also said: "Yes, we are a family, we should help each other."

Sha Zhu looked at them with emotion, tears in his eyes. He knew how happy and lucky he was to have such a group of lovely sisters.

Breakfast time passed quickly, the sisters ate the delicious bread while chatting about interesting things in school. Sha Zhu listened to their innocent laughter and his mood became happy.

"Today is the weekend, let's go to the park together!" Xiao Huaihua suggested excitedly.

Xiaodang and Xiaomianhua immediately followed and said excitedly: "Okay, okay!"

Sha Zhu looked at their excited expressions and was filled with anticipation. He knew that although their family was not well off, as long as they had each other's company and shared happiness, it was enough.

The family packed up their things and went out to the park. The park was crowded with people, and the children were running and playing on the grass, laughing constantly. Shazhu and his sisters also joined them, enjoying this rare happy time together.

"Brother, let's go swinging!" Little Mianhua said excitedly, pulling Shazhu's hand.

Sha Zhu smiled and nodded, and followed them to the swing. Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua were already sitting on the swing, and Xiaomianhua couldn't wait to jump on the swing as well.

"Brother, come and swing on the swing too!" Xiaodang invited happily.

Shazhu smiled and sat on the swing. Xiaomianhua sat next to him, holding the swing rope tightly with both hands.

"Are you ready?" asked Sha Zhu.

He Yuzhu is in his early thirties and is a skilled carpenter. He goes out early and comes back late every day, busy at various construction sites. With this skill, he has a high prestige in the courtyard. The old people in the courtyard often say: "Zhuzi is not only a good craftsman, but also a kind-hearted child. He is a good child."

One morning, He Yuzhu, as usual, wore his washed blue work clothes and rode his bicycle to the construction site. As soon as he left the house, his neighbor, Grandma Li, poked her head out of the door and said, "Zhuzi, good morning."

"Grandma Li, good morning." He Yuzhu responded with a smile, revealing a row of white teeth.

Grandma Li nodded and added, "You must take care of yourself these days. I heard that the construction site is very busy recently. Don't get too tired."

"I got it, Grandma Li, don't worry." He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart. The warmth of the courtyard was always like this, nourishing his heart like a long stream of water.

Riding his bike through every corner of the courtyard, He Yuzhu's heart was filled with nostalgia for home. Every blade of grass and every tree here is his memory. He remembers playing and fighting with his friends in the yard when he was a child, remembers the first time he picked up a saw and learned carpentry from his master, and remembers every meal his mother prepared for him in the kitchen.

Although the work at the construction site is hard, He Yuzhu enjoys it. Today's task is to repair the gate of an old house. This is a delicate job that requires great skills and patience. He Yuzhu picked up the tools and began to work meticulously. Sweat flowed down his forehead, but he was unaware of it, completely immersed in his own world.

After a day's work, He Yuzhu dragged his tired body back to the courtyard. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, coating every corner with a layer of gold. As soon as he walked to the door, he smelled the fragrance of food, which was the smell of his mother, Aunt He, busy in the kitchen.

"Zhu Zi, wash your hands quickly and get ready for dinner." Aunt He poked her head out from the kitchen with a smile on her face.

"Okay, Mom." He Yuzhu responded, his heart full of warmth.

At dinner time, the He family sat around the small table, enjoying the quiet time. Aunt He said while eating: "Zhu Zi, you must be exhausted today. Eat more to replenish your body."

He Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "Mom, the food you cook is delicious. I'll eat more."

After dinner, He Yuzhu went for a walk in the courtyard as usual to get some fresh air. The night in the courtyard was exceptionally quiet, and only a few dogs barking could be heard in the distance. The big locust tree in the courtyard swayed slightly in the night breeze, as if whispering the story of the past.

Just as he was immersed in this tranquility, Mr. Zhang from next door came over. "Zhu Zi, good evening."

"Uncle Zhang, good evening." He Yuzhu responded respectfully.

Uncle Zhang smoked a cigarette, sighed, and said, "Alas, our courtyard is still the world of you young people. Look at my old bones, I can't help much."

"Uncle Zhang, don't say that. You are a senior in our hospital and we all have to learn from you." He Yuzhu said quickly, full of respect for Uncle Zhang in his heart.

Uncle Zhang smiled and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, "Zhuzi, you are a good kid with a bright future. Our yard will depend on you in the future."

He Yuzhu nodded, his heart full of responsibility. This courtyard is not only his home, but also a place he has to protect.

Late at night, He Yuzhu returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking back to the day. He knew that although life was ordinary, it contained endless happiness and satisfaction.
