Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Feng put down what he was doing, walked over to He Yuzhu, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You're welcome. Neighbors should take care of each other. If you need any help, just tell me."

Although He Yuzhu tried to relax himself, the headache did not seem to subside completely. Instead, he began to feel a dull pain around his teeth. He felt a little troubled, and when he thought that dinner was not ready yet, he felt even more uncomfortable.

He gently massaged the area around his teeth to try to relieve the pain, but it didn't seem to work, and he felt a little anxious, worried that his physical condition would affect his dinner preparations and cause trouble for others.

At this moment, Feng walked into the kitchen. He saw a thin layer of sweat on He Yuzhu's forehead and asked, "He Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? You seem to be feeling even worse."

He Yuzhu forced a smile and explained, "Maybe the headache has spread to my teeth, and it's a bit uncomfortable."

Feng listened, showing a trace of worry, and said: "Well, don't worry about making dinner, let me finish it for you."

He Yuzhu was grateful, but also a little embarrassed. He thought that he should have taken the responsibility of preparing dinner and shouldn't have pushed the task onto others just because he was feeling unwell. However, the pain he was feeling made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Feng, but I will try my best to persevere." He Yuzhu said firmly, although he knew that this statement might just be self-deception.

"Have you heard? The boss recently opened a new fashion store. It is said that all the clothes in it are the latest models!" An enthusiastic voice came from behind He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu turned around and saw his good friend Jinyu. Jinyu was the most fashionable person in the courtyard and always got to know the latest trends in the fashion world first.

"Really? Then when are we going to go and see it?" He Yuzhu asked excitedly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? This is a big deal!" Jin Yu smiled and patted He Yuzhu's shoulder, "Let's wait for the others and go together. It will be more lively this way."

He Yuzhu nodded. He knew that Jinyu was right. The people in the courtyard valued each other's opinions and liked to act together.

Soon, other friends also walked into the yard. He Yuzhu and Jin Yu introduced the newly opened fashion store to them, which immediately aroused everyone's interest.

"I heard that the clothes there are of various styles and of very good quality." A girl named Linlang said excitedly.

"Then let's go and take a look!" suggested a boy named Yunxi.

So, a group of people happily set out on the journey to the fashion store. They crossed the cobblestone road, the tree-lined path, and soon arrived at the door of the fashion store.

The facade of the fashion store is very exquisite, and the glass windows display various fashionable clothes. He Yuzhu and his friends walked into the store excitedly and were immediately attracted by the scene in front of them.

"Wow, these clothes look really great!" exclaimed a girl named Bixuan.

He Yuzhu and his friends walked around the store, carefully selecting the clothes they liked. Some people liked simple and elegant styles, while others liked fancy patterns. Everyone has their own unique taste.

"Look at this shirt, it's tailor-made for me!" A boy named Zishu picked up a white shirt and said happily.

"I like this skirt, the color is so beautiful!" said a girl named Chenxi with a smile.

He Yuzhu was also choosing carefully, he liked simple yet fashionable styles. Finally, he chose a dark blue T-shirt and a pair of light-colored jeans.

When everyone had chosen their clothes, checked out and left, the sun was setting. They walked out of the fashion store happily, each holding their favorite clothes.

"I'm so happy today!" Jin Yu said with a smile.

"Yes, not only did we buy the clothes we liked, but we also had a great time together," He Yuzhu said with emotion.

"Yes, this is the charm of our courtyard house!" Linlang added happily.

On a summer evening, the breeze blew through the courtyard of the quadrangle, and the courtyard was quiet. He Yuzhu sat in a corner of the courtyard, thinking about a lot of things. Although he was happy about the time he spent shopping with his friends, he realized that his wallet was empty. He sighed inwardly, realizing that he had no chance to buy food now.

"He Yuzhu, what's wrong? You look a little worried." Jin Yu's voice suddenly broke his silence.

He Yuzhu looked up and saw Jinyu walking towards him with a smile. He smiled bitterly, "Nothing, it's just that I've been spending a lot of money recently and my wallet is a bit tight."

"Really?" Jin Yu frowned, "No, you can't sacrifice your quality of life for fashion."

He Yuzhu nodded. He knew that Jinyu was right. He should be more restrained and not ignore the essence of life in pursuit of fashion.

"However, if you need it, I can lend you some money." Jin Yu said with concern.

He Yuzhu shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Jin Yu patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said, "You're welcome. We are friends. And, as you know, we in Siheyuan have always helped each other."

He Yuzhu looked at Jinyu gratefully, feeling warm in his heart. He knew he was lucky to have such a group of sincere friends.

"Okay, thank you." He Yuzhu accepted Jin Yu's kindness with a smile.

"No problem." Jin Yu said with a smile, "But remember to control your shopping urges in the future."

He Yuzhu sat in the courtyard of the quadrangle, the sun shining through the leaves, casting colorful shadows. He was silently planning to prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone to express his gratitude to his friends.

He stood up and walked straight to the corner of the yard, where he had planted a small vegetable garden. Although it was not big, He Yuzhu took good care of it and planted various vegetables and herbs. He picked some fresh vegetables, including greens, carrots and tomatoes, and planned to make a salad that would look good, smell good and taste good.

"He Yuzhu, what are you doing?" Linlang walked over curiously and looked at the basket in He Yuzhu's hand.

"I'm going to prepare dinner for everyone." He Yuzhu replied with a smile, "I want to express my gratitude to everyone."

Linlang blinked, "Really? That's great! I'll help too."

He Yuzhu gladly accepted Linlang's help, and the two of them started preparing dinner together. They washed vegetables, cut vegetables, and prepared salad dressing, chatting while enjoying the fun of cooperation.
