Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

"Then what should I do now?" He Yuzhu asked with a trembling voice.

Xu Damao sighed: "My friend hopes you can return the bicycle to him. He is willing to give you some compensation. But I am afraid it will be difficult to get back the money you paid for the bicycle."

He Yuzhu clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. The money to buy a car was not a small amount for him, and this incident was a big blow to him. But he knew that things had already happened and now he had to find a solution.

"Okay, Damao, I will return the car to your friend." He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Xu Damao nodded: "Thank you, Zhuzi. I know this is difficult for you, but this is the best solution."

He Yuzhu nodded helplessly, his heart still filled with disappointment and anger. He walked back to the yard, pushing the newly bought bicycle, silently thinking about the next steps. Xu Damao looked at him, his heart also filled with mixed emotions.

When they arrived at Xu Damao's friend's house, the friend saw the bicycle and immediately confirmed that it was the one he had lost. He thanked He Yuzhu and gave him some compensation, but the money was far from enough to make up for He Yuzhu's loss.

On the way home, He Yuzhu was filled with frustration and loss. He tried to control his emotions and not let anger and frustration take over. He knew that there would always be unpleasant things in life, and the important thing was how to face and solve these problems.

Back in the courtyard, He Yuzhu sat in his room, silently reflecting on the incident. He knew that he should be more cautious when buying a car to avoid being cheated. Although this experience cost him a lot of money, it also taught him an important lesson.

"Life is always full of challenges and tests, but I will definitely overcome them." He Yuzhu said to himself in his heart, trying to cheer himself up.

He Yuzhu returned home with mixed feelings. Although he decided to face the reality bravely, the feeling of loss in his heart still lingered. In order to get rid of these negative emotions, he decided to prepare some food for himself to cope with the coming days.

He walked into the kitchen, looked at the food in the refrigerator and the cabinet, and silently calculated the meals for the next few days. He knew that he needed to eat well to maintain sufficient energy to cope with various challenges in work and life.

"Let's make some simple food to fill our stomachs first." He Yuzhu said to himself. He took out some vegetables and meat from the refrigerator and started to prepare dinner. The sound of cutting vegetables echoed in the small kitchen, adding a touch of life to this quiet night.

While cooking, He Yuzhu's thoughts kept churning. He felt angry and disappointed when he thought about how hard he worked and ended up buying a stolen car. But he also knew that he had learned a lot from this experience, and he would be more cautious in the future and not be easily deceived.

The dishes gradually tumbled in the pot, emitting an enticing aroma. While busying himself, He Yuzhu thought about his future life. He decided to treat this loss as a valuable experience and face future challenges with a more positive attitude.

Dinner was ready, and He Yuzhu placed several simple but delicious dishes on the table. He poured himself a cup of tea and sat down to enjoy the dinner he made himself. Every bite of the food was full of the taste of home, making him feel warm and satisfied.

After dinner, He Yuzhu cleaned up the dishes and decided to take a walk. He walked out of the courtyard and walked slowly along the street. The night breeze gently blew on his face, making him feel a little cool and peaceful.

"Life is like this, with ups and downs, joys and sorrows." He Yuzhu thought silently. He knew that he needed to persevere and bravely face the various challenges in life in order to go further.

On the streets at night, people were walking in groups of two or three, talking and laughing, full of the breath of life. He Yuzhu felt a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart as he walked among them. He knew that he was not alone, and there were many friends and relatives around him who were silently supporting him.

After returning to the courtyard, He Yuzhu felt tired, but his mood was much better than before. He decided to rest early and get enough rest to welcome the arrival of a new day.

The next morning, the sun shone through the curtains into the house. He Yuzhu got up early and felt refreshed. He decided to go to the market to buy some fresh ingredients to prepare for the coming days.

Walking into the market, He Yuzhu felt satisfied with the dazzling array of fruits and vegetables. He picked some fresh vegetables, meat and fish, and bought some daily seasonings, thinking about how to make delicious dishes with these ingredients.

"I must eat well this time to replenish my energy." He Yuzhu thought to himself. He knew that maintaining good eating habits was important for both his physical and mental state.

After returning home, He Yuzhu sorted out the food he bought and put it in the refrigerator and storage cabinet. Looking at the full food storage, he felt at ease and satisfied.

"With these food and grass, I won't be afraid of the days ahead." He Yuzhu said to himself. He knew that although there were many uncertainties in life, as long as he was well prepared and responded positively, he would be able to overcome all difficulties.

In the following days, He Yuzhu worked hard and prepared every meal carefully. He found that when he was busy in the kitchen, his mood would become much happier. Cooking is not only a life skill, but also a way to heal the soul.

During this time, He Yuzhu often communicated with friends and shared his experiences and insights. He found that chatting with friends about daily life not only relieved stress, but also provided a lot of useful advice and support.

One evening, He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen when he heard a knock on the door. He put down the kitchen knife, walked over to open the door, and found that it was his old friend Aunt Liu.

"Zhu Zi, I heard that you had some troubles recently, so I came to see you." Aunt Liu said with concern.

He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart, and smiled as he invited Aunt Liu in: "Aunt Liu, thank you for your concern. I have had some troubles recently, but I am much better now."

Aunt Liu nodded, walked into the house, looked at the dishes in the kitchen, and said with a smile: "You, young man, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

He Yuzhu smiled embarrassedly: "I'm still far from it. Compared with you, Aunt Liu, I'm just a small witch compared to a big witch."

The two chatted for a while, and Aunt Liu suggested: "Zhu Zi, why don't I help you cook dinner? We can eat together and talk about our worries."
