Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

"Don't you think you've gone too far? You always use the interests of the family as an excuse to make arbitrary decisions without considering my feelings at all!" Qin Huairu's voice was filled with a hint of anger and grievance. She felt that she was bound by He Yuzhu and could not breathe freely.

After listening to Qin Huairu's words, He Yuzhu was filled with guilt and remorse. He realized that he might be too strong and arbitrary, and ignored the feelings and thoughts of his family. He deeply regretted his behavior and was determined to change himself and pay more attention to the feelings and needs of his family.

Yu Zhu was extremely anxious, he knew he had to act quickly, otherwise the little stick terrier might be out of his sight. He quietly followed the mysterious man and the servant, trying to keep a distance from them, for fear of being discovered.

At this moment, a shrill laugh suddenly sounded, breaking the silence around. Yu Zhu was startled, and he immediately stopped and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

Not far away, he saw Xiaobanggeng standing aside, looking at him with a sneer. Xiaobanggeng's eyes were full of ridicule and disdain, as if he was laughing at Yuzhu's incompetence.

Yu Zhu was annoyed. He didn't expect that Xiao Banggen would appear at this time. He felt that he was in a passive position and could not control the situation.

Xiao Banggeng looked at Yuzhu coldly, with a sneer on his lips. He said sarcastically: "He Yuzhu, you are such a waste. You actually want to find me? You are not worthy at all."

After hearing this, Yu Zhu's anger instantly ignited, but he suppressed his emotions and tried to stay calm. He knew that now was not the time to argue with Xiao Bang Geng, he had to concentrate on solving the problem at hand.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said calmly: "Little Stick, I don't know what you are doing, but you'd better not underestimate me. I will find you and get rid of you."

When Xiaobanggeng heard Yuzhu's words, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips. He waved his hand disdainfully, then turned and left, as if he didn't take Yuzhu seriously.

This morning, He Yuzhu rode his old public bicycle to work as usual. He had to be careful to avoid potholes on the road because the brakes were not working well. This made him secretly determined to save money to buy his own bicycle. When he arrived at the factory, he talked about this wish with his co-workers.

"Zhu Zi, are you really planning to save money to buy a bicycle?" Xiao Liu asked curiously, "That will cost a lot of money!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said firmly, "Yes, Xiao Liu. I know it will cost a lot of money, but I have made up my mind. I will save money if I live frugally every day."

His fellow workers all laughed, some cheered him up, and some shook their heads, thinking he was daydreaming. After all, at that time, bicycles were luxury goods, and many people might not be able to afford one in their lifetime.

During a break from work, He Yuzhu secretly took out a small notebook from his pocket, which was filled with his daily expenses and savings. He calculated that according to the current progress, it would be almost done in another half a year. This filled him with hope and motivation. On the way home from get off work, he still rode the old public bicycle, but his heart was full of longing for the future.

One evening, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and was about to enter when he heard a commotion in the courtyard. He went in and saw that it was Wang Xiaogang, the son of his neighbor Aunt Wang, who had been caught stealing things from Uncle Li's house next door. The neighborhood relationship in the courtyard has always been close, and everyone gathered together to persuade and accuse.

Aunt Wang cried and said, "How could this child learn bad things? Zhuzi, please talk to him and tell him not to do such things in the future!"

He Yuzhu sighed, walked up to Wang Xiaogang, and said, "Xiaogang, you are still young, you can't go astray. If you have any difficulties, you can tell everyone, and everyone will help you."

Wang Xiaogang lowered his head, not daring to look directly into He Yuzhu's eyes, as if he realized his mistake.

In the days that followed, He Yuzhu worked hard and saved money. He even reduced his usual entertainment activities, just to buy his beloved bicycle as soon as possible. Sometimes, in the dead of night, he would take out the bicycle advertisement, look at it carefully, and imagine himself riding the new bicycle on the street.

As the days passed, He Yuzhu's savings gradually increased. Finally, one day, he saved enough money to buy a bicycle. That day, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, he went to the bicycle shop to choose the model he liked. The shop owner looked at his excited look and couldn't help but smile: "Young man, I have seen your eyes many times. They all come to buy bicycles. Come, take a look and take the one you like."

He Yuzhu walked around the store for a few times and finally chose a gleaming Phoenix brand bicycle. This bicycle is not only beautiful in appearance and performance, but most importantly, it symbolizes He Yuzhu's years of hard work and dreams. He paid for it and pushed the new bicycle with a sense of accomplishment.

Riding his newly bought bicycle, He Yuzhu felt unprecedented freedom and happiness. He decided to ride the bicycle around the courtyard to let everyone see his achievements. Along the way, he met many acquaintances, and everyone cast envious eyes on his bicycle.

Back at the courtyard, He Yuzhu happily showed his "trophy" to his neighbors. Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Zhuzi, this car is so beautiful! You are really capable to buy it so quickly."

He Yuzhu smiled shyly and said, "I saved all this by living frugally. I finally realized my dream."

However, just when everyone was happy for He Yuzhu, a sudden piece of news broke the joy. Old Li from the courtyard suddenly fell ill and needed to be rushed to the hospital. But in that era, transportation was very limited. If he was not sent to the hospital in time, Old Li's condition might be very dangerous.

He Yuzhu stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Use my bicycle to take Old Li to the hospital! Time is running out and we can't delay any longer."

He quickly helped Old Li onto his bicycle and rode as hard as he could to the hospital. Along the way, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to get Old Li to the hospital safely. The wind was whistling in his ears, and his legs were already aching, but he didn't dare to stop. He knew that this was not only for Old Li, but also for the trust and expectations of everyone in the courtyard.
