Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Stepping out of the house, He Yuzhu came to the familiar vegetable market. The market was bustling with people, and there were a dazzling array of ingredients. He Yuzhu shuttled between the stalls, carefully selecting the ingredients he liked.

He first went to the fruit stand and bought some fresh and juicy fruits, including strawberries, blueberries, and watermelons, planning to make a rich fruit salad. Then, he went to the vegetable stand and bought some fresh vegetables, including greens, carrots, cucumbers, etc., planning to make a refreshing salad. Finally, he went to the meat stand and bought some meat ingredients, including chicken legs, beef, fresh shrimp, etc., planning to make some delicious meat dishes.

The shopping process makes He Yuzhu feel happy and satisfied. He likes to choose ingredients in such an environment and enjoy the pleasure of being close to food. He carefully selects each ingredient and hopes to make a satisfying meal through his own efforts.

After returning home, He Yuzhu started to get busy and prepare dinner. He first washed and sliced ​​the fruits and placed them on a plate, then washed and chopped various vegetables and mixed them with seasonings to make a refreshing and delicious salad. Then, he cleaned the meat ingredients, cut them into pieces, marinated them with spices for a while, and finally baked them in a baking pan, baking out a golden and crispy skin and a tender and delicious interior.

The whole kitchen was filled with tempting aromas, and He Yuzhu was fully focused on the cooking process, sometimes stir-frying, sometimes roasting, his movements were skillful, orderly, and meticulous.

He Yuzhu had just finished making dinner when he remembered Lin Xiaomu's love for maltose. He knew that Lin Xiaomu had always had a special liking for this sweet food, so he decided to go to the market to buy some maltose to give Lin Xiaomu a surprise.

After a quick dinner, He Yuzhu went out and headed towards the market. On the way, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He thought of every little thing between him and Lin Xiaomu, the laughter and tears they had experienced together, and his heart was filled with emotion and touching. Lin Xiaomu's support and companionship made him feel extremely happy and warm.

Soon, He Yuzhu arrived at the market. He walked into a small shop and began to look for maltose. The shop was filled with all kinds of snacks, which dazzled He Yuzhu. He searched carefully and finally found a can of maltose in the corner.

He Yuzhu picked up the maltose, and his heart was filled with joy and anticipation. He knew that Lin Xiaomu would be very happy because this small gift represented his deep affection for her. So he hurried back home.

After returning home, He Yuzhu carefully put away the maltose, ready to wait for Lin Xiaomu to come back and give her a surprise. He imagined Lin Xiaomu's expression when she received the gift, and his heart was full of anticipation and excitement.

"He Yuzhu, you're back?" Lin Xiaomu's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting He Yuzhu's thoughts.

He Yuzhu looked up and found that Lin Xiaomu had returned home. He quickly put away the maltose and said to Lin Xiaomu with a smile: "Yes, I just came back. Why did you come back so early today?"

Lin Xiaomu walked over with a smile, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "Nothing special, I just got off work a little early today. Did you make dinner today?"

He Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, I made a sumptuous dinner, waiting for you to taste it."

When Lin Xiaomu heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. "Really? That's great. I can't wait."

Lin Xiaomu looked at He Yuzhu with joy, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth. She knew that everything He Yuzhu did for her was out of sincerity and love. However, as time went by, she also began to notice the efforts He Yuzhu made to meet her requirements.

During their time together, He Yuzhu always tried his best to meet all of Lin Xiaomu's wishes, working tirelessly to cook all kinds of food for her, create a romantic atmosphere for her, and buy her the gifts she wanted. However, Lin Xiaomu gradually realized that her demands seemed a bit excessive and put too much of a burden on He Yuzhu.

"He Yuzhu, you really don't have to do so much for me." Lin Xiaomu said gently. She looked into He Yuzhu's eyes and expressed her inner feelings.

He Yuzhu was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Xiaomu to say that. He knew that he was out of love for Lin Xiaomu, but perhaps in the process of satisfying her, he also ignored her real needs.

"Yuzhui, I just want to make you happy. I never feel that this is a burden." He Yuzhui said softly, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness and heartache.

Lin Xiaomu smiled and stroked He Yuzhu's hand, "I know you mean well, but sometimes, simple companionship is enough."

He Yuzhu listened silently, feeling a little touched. He realized that Lin Xiaomu didn't need fancy gifts or complicated arrangements, she just needed his company and sincerity.

From then on, He Yuzhu began to re-examine the relationship between himself and Lin Xiaomu. He realized that love is not about blindly catering to the other party's requirements, but about understanding, respect and tolerance between each other. He decided to let go of the burden in his heart, truly support and understand each other with Lin Xiaomu, and face the challenges and difficulties in life together.

So He Yuzhu began to try to change his approach and pay more attention to communication and exchanges with Lin Xiaomu. He learned to listen to her, respect her opinions, and discuss each other's needs and expectations. Their relationship became more open and solid, and their trust and tacit understanding were strengthened.

One day, when He Yuzhu was preparing dinner at home, the doorbell rang. He walked to the door and opened it. It was his neighbor Jia Zhang.

"He Yuzhu, I'm sorry to bother you." Jia Zhang said to He Yuzhu with a smile, "My family just ran out of chili peppers today. Can you lend me some?"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, "Of course, come, I'll get it for you." He turned and went into the kitchen, took out a small bag of chili peppers and handed it to Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang took the pepper and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, He Yuzhu, you really helped a lot."

"It doesn't matter. Neighbors should help each other." He Yuzhu replied friendly.

Jia Zhang looked at He Yuzhu, with a hint of admiration and gratitude in her eyes, "He Yuzhu, you are such a good person, always so warm-hearted, and very touching."

He Yuzhu smiled, feeling an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. He was taught by his parents since he was a child that neighbors should help and care for each other. He is willing to help others because he believes that only when everyone unites as one can the community become better.
