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

One night, when He Yuzhu was about to rest, Lao Li knocked on the door and said to him seriously, "Yuzhu, I want to talk to you about something. I heard that Li Fen doesn't have any backing, and she herself is frustrated in the vocal music industry. If you count on her connections, I'm afraid it may not be reliable."

He Yuzhu was disappointed after hearing this, but he still thanked Li Fen for her help. He decided to confirm this matter himself. The next day, he found Li Fen and asked directly: "Teacher Li, I heard some rumors about you, saying that you don't have any backing and you are not doing well. Is this true?"

Li Fen's face changed, and she was silent for a moment, then she slowly said: "Yu Zhu, you are right. I really don't have any special connections. I just want to do my best to help you, but I really don't have any achievements in the vocal music industry."

He Yuzhu felt mixed emotions. He knew that he could no longer rely on Li Fen's help. He said to Li Fen gratefully, "Teacher Li, thank you for your help before, but I think I will work hard on my own in the future and won't bother you anymore."

Li Fen nodded and said with a smile: "Yuzhu, I understand. You have your own way to go, and I also hope that you can succeed with your own strength. Come on."

From that day on, He Yuzhu decided not to rely on external connections, but to rely on his own strength to strive for admission to the Academy of Fine Arts. He focused more on his work and invested more time and energy.

In the courtyard, He Yuzhu's efforts were recognized by everyone. One night, Xiao Zhao came to He Yuzhu's room with an art magazine and said excitedly: "Yuzhu, look at this article, it was written by a professor from the Academy of Fine Arts. He mentioned your work and said that your paintings have a unique style and profound skills."

He Yuzhu took the magazine and read the article carefully. He felt a warm current in his heart, knowing that his efforts were finally recognized by professionals. He said to Xiao Zhao gratefully: "Thank you, Xiao Zhao, this is a great encouragement to me."

As the retest date approached, He Yuzhu felt nervous and excited. He knew this was his last chance and he had to go all out. One evening, Lao Li came to He Yuzhu and handed him a carefully crafted notebook, saying, "Yuzhu, this is the notebook I used when I was young. I hope it will bring you good luck."

He Yuzhu took the notebook, feeling grateful. He opened it and saw the painting experience and techniques that Lao Li had when he was young, and felt a strong support.

On the day of the re-examination, He Yuzhu walked into the examination room of the Academy of Fine Arts with Lao Li's notebook and his carefully prepared works. He performed exceptionally well in the examination room, and every stroke was full of confidence and strength. The judges carefully observed his works and nodded in approval from time to time.

A few days later, the results of the retest were announced, and He Yuzhu was officially admitted as a student of the Academy of Fine Arts. He was so excited that he could hardly believe his ears. When he received the admission letter, he was filled with indescribable joy and satisfaction.

He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, and everyone celebrated for him. The whole courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Xiao Zhao raised a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Yuzhu, you deserve it."

He Yuzhu looked at his neighbors with emotion and said, "Thank you for your support and encouragement. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

From that day on, He Yuzhu began his study life at the Academy of Fine Arts. He got up early every day, went to class with enthusiasm, listened carefully to the professor's explanations, and actively participated in various art activities. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but he had taken a solid first step.

Life in the courtyard continues, and He Yuzhu's story has become a legend. His efforts and persistence not only inspired himself, but also inspired everyone in the courtyard. The people living here care for each other, help each other, and write extraordinary stories in ordinary days.

He Chengzhi is an ordinary worker. He built a warm nest for his family with his own hands and sweat. Although life is not rich, He Chengzhi never let his family feel lack of love. Every weekend, he always takes He Yuzhu and his sister He Yuting to a nearby park, sits on a bench, and tells them stories about his youth. At that time, He Yuzhu and He Yuting always pestered their father to ask questions, and He Chengzhi always answered patiently with a satisfied smile on his face.

After his father passed away, He Yuzhu took on the responsibility of taking care of the family. He worked hard, hoping to give his mother and sister a better life. However, as the years passed, the relationship between He Yuzhu and his sister He Yuting gradually became distant. He Yuting always felt that her brother was too strict with her, especially when it came to her dating, He Yuzhu always opposed it, believing that she should focus on her studies.

One evening, He Yuzhu had just come back from overtime at the company and was sitting on the sofa tiredly when he heard a soft knock on the door. He walked over and opened the door, and saw He Yuting standing at the door with a sad face. He Yuzhu frowned and asked, "Yuting, what's wrong? What happened?"

He Yuting lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs: "Brother, I had a fight with my boyfriend, and he said... he didn't want to go on anymore." After she finished speaking, her tears unconsciously slid down her face.

He Yuzhu sighed, pulled his sister into the house, asked her to sit on the sofa, and handed her a tissue: "Don't cry, tell me what happened."

He Yuting wiped her tears and sobbed, "He feels that we are too far apart and it is difficult for us to meet each other every time. He doesn't want to always quarrel with me because of this matter." She raised her head, her eyes full of helplessness, "Brother, I really like him, but I don't know what to do."

He Yuzhu looked at his sister, and felt pity in his heart. He patted her shoulder gently and said, "Yuting, sometimes it takes two people to work together to maintain a relationship. If he is not willing to work hard for your future, then he may not be your true home."

He Yuting was stunned, as if she didn't expect her brother to say that. She was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice: "If I give up, will he think I don't care about him?"

He Yuzhu shook his head, his tone gentle but firm: "Relationships are a matter between two people, and cannot be maintained by the efforts of one person. If he really cares about you, he will understand your difficulties. You should also consider your future and don't waste your time on people who are not worth it."
