Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

"He Yuzhu, why are you in a daze?" Lin Xiaomu poked his head out from the kitchen, holding a wiped knife in his hand, with a hint of concern in his tone.

He Yuzhu came back to his senses, closed the book, smiled and said, "Nothing, Yuzhu, I'm just thinking about something."

Lin Xiaomu walked over to him and sat down with a warm smile on his face. "Is there anything I can help you with? You are the backbone of our courtyard, and we can't let you bear all the pressure alone."

He Yuzhu smiled, feeling warm in his heart. He knew that Lin Xiaomu's concern came from the heart, and the friendship between the two had long surpassed the boundaries of ordinary friends, and was more of a tacit understanding of mutual support and dependence.

"It's nothing, actually. It's just that the restaurant business has been getting better and better recently, and I'm too busy to handle it. I'm wondering if I should hire a few more people." He Yuzhu said, with a hint of helplessness and expectation in his tone.

Lin Xiaomu nodded, showing his understanding. "Then we really need to hire a few more people. After all, a lack of manpower will affect business. How about I come and help? I have some free time anyway."

He Yuzhu looked at her gratefully, "Yuzhu, it would be great if you could help. In fact, I've always wanted to find a chance to talk to you about this."

Lin Xiaomu smiled, with a determined light in his eyes. "It's settled then, I'll help you run the restaurant. But we have to assign the work first, so you don't get exhausted by yourself."

The two discussed and decided to find a few people to apply for the job first, select the right people, and then assign specific work tasks. In this way, He Yuzhu's pressure can be greatly reduced, and Lin Xiaomu can also find a job that allows her to display her talents.

The next morning, He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu began to arrange recruitment. They posted a recruitment notice on the town's bulletin board and contacted several familiar friends to help recommend suitable candidates.

Soon, the job posting attracted many applicants. He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu interviewed several people and finally selected several experienced, honest and reliable people. In the following days, the restaurant's work gradually got on track and business was getting better and better.

One evening, after a busy day at work, He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu sat at a small table in the backyard of the restaurant, enjoying the rare quiet time.

"He Yuzhu, business is really good today. It seems that our efforts have not been in vain." Lin Xiaomu said with a smile, his eyes full of relief and satisfaction.

"Yes, Yuzhu, thanks to your help. Without you, I couldn't have survived on my own." He Yuzhu said sincerely, his heart full of gratitude.

Lin Xiaomu shook his head gently. "He Yuzhu, don't say that. We are friends, and we should help each other. Besides, I also enjoy this busy and fulfilling life."

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, feeling extremely warm in his heart. He knew that Lin Xiaomu's words were sincere, and the tacit understanding between the two of them could not be replaced by anything.

As the restaurant business prospers, the lives of He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu become more and more fulfilling and interesting. They not only cooperate tacitly at work, but also care and take care of each other in life, as if they are each other's most solid support.

On a quiet night, He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu sat in the courtyard of the quadrangle, gazing at the starry sky, their hearts filled with peace and satisfaction.

"He Yuzhu, have you ever thought about what your future life will be like?" Lin Xiaomu suddenly asked, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his voice.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and replied with a smile, "Actually, I am very satisfied with my current life. With you by my side, our restaurant, and this courtyard, I feel very happy."

Lin Xiaomu nodded, with a gentle light in his eyes. "Me too, He Yuzhu. As long as we are together, no matter what the future holds, I am willing to face it together."

He Yuzhu felt a warmth in his heart. He held Lin Xiaomu's hand and said softly, "Yuzhu, no matter what the future holds, we will work together to create a happy life for ourselves."

Lin Xiaomu held He Yuzhu's hand tightly, her heart full of determination and courage. She knew that with He Yuzhu by her side, she was no longer alone, and they would definitely be able to create a better future.

As the days passed peacefully and fulfillingly, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu became closer and closer. They supported each other at work and took care of each other in life, and every day was filled with warmth and happiness.

On a sunny morning, He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu decided to go to the suburbs to pick some fresh vegetables and fruits to add some fresh ingredients to the restaurant. They took their baskets and set off with great enthusiasm.

The scenery in the suburbs was picturesque, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu walked on the path in the field, chatting, and felt extremely relaxed and happy.

"He Yuzhu, the vegetables here are really fresh. We can pick more." Lin Xiaomu said excitedly, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, Yuzhu, these fresh ingredients will definitely make our dishes more delicious." He Yuzhu replied with a smile, his heart full of anticipation.

The two were busy in the fields, and soon they had a basket full of vegetables and fruits. Looking at the full harvest, they both had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Back in the courtyard, He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu began to clean and process the fresh ingredients. The kitchen was filled with the fragrance of vegetables and fruits, and the air was full of the breath of life.

"He Yuzhu, these fresh ingredients are really good. We can make a sumptuous dinner tonight." Lin Xiaomu said while busying himself with an expectant smile on his face.

"Okay, Yuzhu, I'm looking forward to it too." He Yuzhu replied with a smile, his heart full of anticipation and satisfaction.

At dinner time, everyone sat around the table and tasted the delicious dishes made with fresh ingredients. Lin Xiaomu's cooking skills were unanimously praised by everyone, and He Yuzhu ate with gusto, showing a satisfied smile from time to time.

"Yuzhu, your cooking skills are getting better and better. This dinner is so delicious." He Yuzhu exclaimed sincerely, his heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

"Thank you, He Yuzhu. As long as you like it, I will be satisfied." Lin Xiaomu replied with a smile, with a gentle light in his eyes.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up the dishes together and sat in the yard, enjoying the tranquility of the night. He Yuzhu felt extremely peaceful and satisfied, knowing that the life in front of him was exactly what he was pursuing.
