Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

In the evening, the courtyard smelled of food. He Yuzhu prepared a simple but warm dinner, using the newly bought baguette to make garlic bread, and paired it with stew and soup. He savored every bite, feeling extremely satisfied and warm in his heart.

After dinner, He Yuzhu decided to visit his neighbor Aunt Liu. He heard that Aunt Liu had been feeling unwell recently, and he was a little worried.

"Aunt Liu, are you home?" He Yuzhu stood at the door and knocked gently.

The door was quickly opened, and Aunt Liu stood at the door with a smile: "Zhu Zi, come in and sit down. It's very cold outside."

He Yuzhu walked into the house and felt a warm breeze. Although Aunt Liu's house was simple, it was warmly decorated, with a burning fire, giving off a warm feeling.

"Aunt Liu, I heard that you haven't been feeling well recently, so I came to see you." He Yuzhu said with concern.

Aunt Liu smiled and waved her hand: "It's nothing serious, it's just an old problem. The weather has been cold recently and my joints are a little painful."

He Yuzhu nodded, thinking about how to help Aunt Liu relieve the pain. He suddenly remembered that he had some spare ointments at home, which might be able to help.

"Aunt Liu, I have some plasters at home that are specifically for treating joint pain. I'll bring them to you later and you can try them to see if they work." He Yuzhu said.

Aunt Liu looked at He Yuzhu gratefully and nodded: "Zhuzi, you are such a good child. Just do your own thing and don't worry about an old woman like me."

"Aunt Liu, don't say that. You are so kind to us neighbors, so of course we have to care about you too." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and then He Yuzhu got up and went home, bringing back the ointment for Aunt Liu. He carefully taught Aunt Liu how to use it and told her to keep warm.

"Thank you, Zhuzi. I am so lucky to have a neighbor like you." Aunt Liu said gratefully.

He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand: "Aunt Liu, don't worry, feel free to contact me if you need anything. I will do my best to help you."

After returning home, He Yuzhu felt exhausted, but his heart was full of satisfaction and accomplishment. He knew that helping others not only made him happy, but also made his life more meaningful.

It was late at night, and He Yuzhu was lying on his bed, his mind racing. He was thinking about Aunt Liu's condition, the bread he had bought, and the recent weather changes. He knew that the days ahead might be even colder, but as long as he was well prepared, he would be able to handle everything.

"Although life has many challenges, I will keep going," He Yuzhu said to himself. He decided to work and live more attentively to create a warm and peaceful environment for himself and the people around him.

The next day, He Yuzhu got up early and was full of energy. He put on a thick coat and a scarf and prepared to go out to work. Before leaving, he checked the storage cabinet at home to make sure that the bread and other stored food were well stored.

"Today is another new day, I must work hard!" He Yuzhu said to himself, his heart full of fighting spirit and hope. He rode his bicycle, facing the cold wind in the early morning, and started a new day of work.

Along the way, He Yuzhu felt the biting cold wind, but his heart was full of fighting spirit and hope. He knew that there would always be challenges and difficulties in life, but as long as he worked hard and persisted, he would be able to overcome everything and welcome a better tomorrow.

After a day's work, He Yuzhu felt tired, but his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. He knew that every day's hard work was to make his life more fulfilling and beautiful. Back home, He Yuzhu enjoyed the dinner he prepared and made himself a cup of hot tea.

The courtyard was quiet and cold in the early morning. He Yuzhu, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, stood in front of the window and looked at the scene outside. Outside the window, a few sparrows jumped on the withered branches, as if they were also looking for a bit of warmth. He Yuzhu thought to himself: "It's getting colder and colder. I have to prepare more things for myself, otherwise it will be hard to survive in winter."

He made a list in his mind: thick quilts, new gloves, thermos, several packets of hot cocoa powder, and some shelf-stable food. Thinking of these things, he felt an inexplicable pressure, but also ignited a sense of motivation.

"I have to go to the mall and buy all these things." He Yuzhu said to himself. He knew the importance of these items to him in getting through this cold winter, so he decided to act immediately.

He got on his bike and rode towards the nearest shopping mall in the cold wind. Along the way, the cold wind bit his bones, but he had a firm belief in his heart. He wanted to ensure that he and his family could live comfortably and warmly in this winter.

After arriving at the mall, He Yuzhu opened the door and felt a sense of comfort from the warm air. He took off his scarf and walked straight to the quilt area. The various thick quilts in front of him dazzled him a little. He picked out the one that looked the warmest. It felt thick and soft, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Next, he headed to the thermos aisle, which was filled with all kinds of thermoses, and he carefully selected a large-capacity one that would keep the hot water warm all day long. He also bought some gloves and a few packets of hot cocoa powder, which he considered indispensable items on cold days.

"That should be about enough now." He Yuzhu thought to himself as he pushed a cart full of items towards the cashier.

The cashier scanned the items with a smile, and He Yuzhu looked at them while calculating his budget. He knew that these things cost a lot, but in order to have a warm winter, these investments were worth it.

Back at the courtyard, He Yuzhu sorted out the newly bought items one by one. He spread a thick quilt on the bed and tried on the newly bought gloves, which felt very suitable. He also specially filled the thermos with hot water and prepared a few cups of hot cocoa, which he placed on the table in the living room so that he could enjoy them at any time.

As night fell, the cold became even worse. He Yuzhu wrapped himself in a thick quilt and lay on the bed, feeling warm and comfortable. He picked up a cup of hot cocoa and took a sip. The warm liquid slid down his throat, bringing a sense of warmth. He felt extremely satisfied and felt that he had made a very wise decision.

"This way, this winter won't be too hard." He Yuzhu said to himself. He closed his eyes and thought about the days ahead, his heart filled with hope and expectation for the future.

The next day, He Yuzhu got up early and felt refreshed. He put on his newly bought gloves and felt his fingers wrapped in warmth, which made him full of energy. He decided to work harder, make more money, and provide a better life for himself and his family.
