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

As the sun sets, He Yuzhu and He Yushui return home with their father. In the evening, the three of them roast sweet potatoes in the yard and enjoy a warm family time. He Yuzhu looks at his father and sister, feeling extremely satisfied and happy.

"Yushui, how do you feel about coming back this time?" He Yuzhu asked with warmth in his tone.

He Yuzhu also gained more inspiration in his creation. He felt calmer and was able to focus more on his paintings and sculptures. He began to try to use the scenery in the courtyard and the elements of the neighbors' lives as the subject of his creation, and painted a series of works about the life in the courtyard. Each work is full of his love and gratitude for this small community.

In the eyes of other neighbors in the courtyard, the reconciliation between Xu Damao and He Yuzhu also brought a harmonious atmosphere. They still greeted and communicated with each other in the courtyard as usual, jointly maintaining the harmony and warmth of this small community.

Bruce Lee was repairing an old radio in the yard, humming a little tune and enjoying the afternoon sunshine. Old Wu and Old Ding were sitting under the pergola in the yard, drinking tea and chatting about the past and the art of woodworking. Zhang Fan and Wang Xiaoli took Xiaofei to play on the lawn in the yard, and laughter and childlike fun filled the entire courtyard.

He Yuzhu stood in his own courtyard, watching all this, his heart filled with satisfaction and gratitude for life. He realized that everyone's existence is an indispensable part of the life of the courtyard, and the friendship and understanding between them are the real treasures of this small community.

Xu Damao came over with a cup of tea he had made himself. "Teacher He, have a cup of tea." He said with a smile.

He Yuzhu took the teacup, smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Xu Damao."

On a sunny weekend afternoon, He Yuzhu decided to go to the small vegetable market outside the courtyard to buy some fresh ingredients. He walked out of the courtyard, crossed the familiar streets, and came to the market. Although the market is not big, it is the main place for surrounding residents to buy fresh vegetables, fruits and seafood.

He Yuzhu walked and observed the hustle and bustle of the market. The stalls were filled with colorful fruits and vegetables, and the bright colors sparkled in the sun. People came and went in the market, some were selecting ingredients, and some were bargaining with the stall owners. It was a busy and lively scene.

As He Yuzhu was walking around the market, he suddenly noticed a young woman carefully selecting vegetables at a vegetable stall. She had long hair and was wearing a fresh white shirt and jeans, looking particularly energetic. Her profile was soft and beautiful, revealing a gentle and confident temperament.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little curious. He didn't come to the market often, so he wasn't very familiar with the regulars here. However, he noticed that the woman seemed to be one of the residents of the nearby courtyard house, because he remembered seeing her from behind occasionally in the community.

After the woman had chosen her vegetables and was about to pay, she suddenly looked up and saw He Yuzhu. She smiled slightly, looking particularly kind.

"Hello, I remember you also live in our courtyard, right?" the woman said in a clear and soft voice.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. "Oh, yes, I live over there. Hello, my name is He Yuzhu."

"I'm Qin Huairu." The woman introduced herself with a smile, "I live on the east side of the yard. You may not have seen me very often. I'm a low-key person."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, feeling that Qin Huairu gave people a good impression, "Yes, I have seen you occasionally, but we really haven't communicated much."

Qin Huairu smiled and said shyly: "Yes, maybe our social circles are different. But I often see you painting in the yard, and I feel that you are a person with great artistic talent."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to know something about his paintings. "Thank you. Actually, I just doodled a little for my own amusement."

The conversation between the two gradually unfolded, from the life in the courtyard to their respective interests and hobbies, the topic kept flowing. Qin Huairu's gentleness and kindness made He Yuzhu feel relaxed and happy, as if they had been familiar friends for a long time.

In the following days, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's contacts gradually became more frequent. They often met on the paths of the courtyard, or met in the market or park. Every time they met, they would chat about some lighthearted topics and share each other's life details and interests.

For He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu is a person who makes him feel warm and relaxed. Her smile and gentle personality allow him to find a kind of spiritual comfort outside of his busy creative life. Whenever he is with Qin Huairu, he can feel the beauty of life, as if time has slowed down and every moment has become more precious.

Qin Huairu was also gradually attracted to He Yuzhu. She found that He Yuzhu was not only a person with keen artistic perception, but also a soul full of passion and depth. His attitude towards life and his creations made her admire and respect him. Every time she was with him, she could feel a resonance of the soul and the sublimation of emotions.

One day, Qin Huairu invited He Yuzhu to her courtyard for tea. There was a small tea table and a few chairs in the courtyard, surrounded by some green plants and flowers, which looked quiet and peaceful.

"Do you like tea? I made a pot of Tieguanyin, try it." Qin Huairu said with a smile, handing He Yuzhu a cup of tea.

He Yuzhu took the teacup, sniffed it gently, and smiled slightly. "Thank you, I like tea very much."

The two sat in the yard and chatted leisurely. They talked about art, literature, little interesting things in life, each other's growth experience and expectations for the future. This kind of spiritual communication sublimated their feelings to a deeper level, as if they had already been an indispensable part of each other's lives.

He Yuzhu felt an indescribable joy and satisfaction. He felt that he could show his true self without reservation next to Qin Huairu, and he was understood and accepted. This feeling made him want to share more of his life with Qin Huairu and build a warm and beautiful future with her.

Qin Huairu also gradually developed a dependence and attachment to He Yuzhu in her heart. She hoped to experience every moment of life with him, whether it was joy or challenge, and face it hand in hand. She believed that based on the deep emotional foundation established between them, no matter what they encountered in the future, they could move forward bravely together.
