Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Jia Zhang thanked him with the peppers and turned to go home. He Yuzhu looked at her back and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that even a simple little thing was worth doing as long as it could help others.

Back in the kitchen, He Yuzhu continued his cooking. He was in a good mood and started to prepare dinner. He liked to cook all kinds of food in the kitchen, not only to satisfy his appetite, but also to take good care of the relationship between himself and Lin Xiaomu.

When He Yuzhu was busy preparing for dinner, he unexpectedly discovered something that surprised and confused him - the number of eggs in the kitchen had obviously decreased. He remembered clearly that the number of eggs he bought last time was sufficient, but now there were several fewer.

Questions arose in his mind, and He Yuzhu began to recall the recent situation carefully. Suddenly, he remembered that a few days ago, he saw Jia Zhang walking in their yard, as if observing something. Although he did not pay much attention to it at the time, he felt something was wrong at the moment.

He began to think about how to deal with this problem, and his heart was full of contradictions and confusion. Jia Zhang was a member of their community, and they were neighbors who usually helped each other. He didn't know how to deal with this situation.

The inner struggle made He Yuzhu feel a little irritable and uneasy, and he began to ponder possible solutions in his mind. He hoped to find a way to solve the problem while maintaining harmony among neighbors.

Just then, He Yuzhu heard a slight sound coming from outside the yard. He quickly walked to the window and saw Jia Zhang standing in the backyard of their house, holding an egg in her hand and looking a little panicked.

"What's going on?" He Yuzhu's voice revealed a hint of surprise and confusion.

When Jia Zhang heard He Yuzhu's voice, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly put the eggs in her hand back to their original place and hurriedly explained: "He Yuzhu, this... I just want to borrow some eggs, my family just ran out of them."

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Zhang's expression and understood everything. He knew that Jia Zhang did not steal the eggs on purpose, but just borrowed them temporarily because the family ran out of eggs. He felt Jia Zhang's honesty and sincerity, and his doubts disappeared.

"It's okay. If you need anything, just tell me directly next time and I will help you." He Yuzhu said softly, his eyes full of understanding and tolerance.

When Jia Zhang heard what He Yuzhu said, a relieved smile appeared on her face, "Thank you, He Yuzhu, I will remember it."

He Yuzhu decided to talk to Jia Dongxu, not only because of the egg problem he had discovered earlier, but also because he hoped to resolve the barriers between them and maintain harmony in the community.

He walked to the door of Jia Dongxu's house, feeling a little nervous and uneasy. He knew that it was not easy to deal with this matter, but he also believed that as long as they were honest with each other, the problem would be solved.

Jia Dongxu opened the door and saw He Yuzhu standing at the door. He was slightly startled, and then he came up with a smile on his face, "He Yuzhu, is there anything you need from me?"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and said seriously: "Jia Dongxu, we need to talk."

Jia Dongxu looked at He Yuzhu's expression and felt a little uneasy, but he still followed He Yuzhu into the house.

After sitting down, He Yuzhu slowly spoke, "I discovered something recently, and I want to talk to you about it."

Jia Dongxu frowned slightly, he knew that He Yuzhu was referring to the eggs. He felt a little guilty because he did steal some eggs, but he just felt that they were urgent at the time and did not consider the consequences.

"He Yuzhu, I know what you mean. I'm sorry, I did take some eggs, but I just felt I needed them urgently at the time, and I didn't mean anything else." Jia Dongxu said frankly, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

He Yuzhu felt a little relieved after listening to Jia Dongxu's explanation. He knew that Jia Dongxu did not do anything wrong on purpose, but just made the wrong choice in the heat of the moment.

"It's okay, I understand." He Yuzhu replied calmly, "As long as everyone can understand and tolerate each other, the problem can be solved."

When Jia Dongxu heard He Yuzhu's forgiveness, the pressure and guilt in his heart were relieved a lot. He knew that he had to reflect on his behavior this time and would be more cautious in dealing with similar problems in the future.

He Yuzhu decided to let Lin Xiaomu testify as well. He believed that she could express her views objectively and help solve the problem.

When He Yuzhu made this request to Lin Xiaomu, she listened to He Yuzhu's explanation, nodded, and expressed her willingness to help.

"I am willing to testify. I know that Jia Dongxu did not do this on purpose." Lin Xiaomu's voice was firm and resolute, and her eyes revealed her understanding and tolerance for Jia Dongxu.

He Yuzhu felt a surge of gratitude and warmth in his heart, knowing that Lin Xiaomu's support was crucial to solving this problem. The trust and tacit understanding between them made their relationship closer and stronger.

During the testimony process, Lin Xiaomu expressed his views in an objective and fair manner, helping He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu resolve misunderstandings and ease the conflicts between them.

Jia Dongxu felt a little relieved and relieved when he heard Lin Xiaomu's testimony. He knew that his mistakes were understood and forgiven, and he would be more careful in dealing with similar issues in the future.

After solving the egg problem, He Yuzhu felt particularly relieved. He realized that trust and understanding between neighbors are important cornerstones of community harmony and the driving force for the community's common progress.

After returning home, He Yuzhu sat on the sofa in the living room, quietly savoring everything that happened that day. He was filled with emotion, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted to the memories of the past.

When he was a child, he and Lin Xiaomu played and fought in the courtyard together, and spent many happy times together. They had been good friends in the neighborhood since childhood, and their friendship was long-standing.

However, the changes in society and the trivialities of life gradually distanced them. He Yuzhu went to study far away, while Lin Xiaomu stayed in his hometown to work. As time passed, their contacts became less and less frequent, and their communication became less and less frequent.

Until recently, because of a fish, the fate of the two people was intertwined again. He Yuzhu realized that although life will continue to change, true friendship is eternal.

At the same time, Lin Xiaomu's mood was quite complicated. She lamented the story between herself and He Yuzhu, and the sublimation of this emotion surged in her heart, like a deep wave. She got more from He Yuzhu, not only a fish, but also the memory of past friendship and the expectation of future life.
