Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

So he packed his clothes and went to a nearby pharmacy. On the way, he felt the coolness of the early morning, the hurried pedestrians on the street, and the rhythm of life flowed with different colors in his eyes.

After arriving at the pharmacy, He Yuzhu quickly found the medicine section he needed. The pharmacy was brightly lit, and the shelves were filled with various medicines and health products. He began to carefully select, some of which were common medicines he usually used, and some were health products he was going to buy to enhance immunity and regulate physical condition.

Just as he was about to pay, a young pharmacist in a white coat came over and asked, "Sir, do you need any help? You've picked so many medicines. Do you want to prepare some for your home?"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have been feeling a little unwell recently, and I want to buy some medicine to replenish my body."

The pharmacist smiled friendly and said, "I see, you made a good choice. Life is busy, and good health is important. If there is anything you need to recommend, I can help you with it."

He Yuzhu secretly felt that the importance of life far exceeded work and making money. He realized that while pursuing his career, he should also pay more attention to his physical health and quality of life.

"Do you have any vitamins or supplements to recommend?" He Yuzhu asked.

The pharmacist thought for a moment and then recommended several vitamins and nutritional supplements suitable for daily supplementation. He introduced the efficacy and applicability of each in detail, which made He Yuzhu very satisfied.

"Okay, I'll choose these." He Yuzhu nodded in agreement and went on to complete the purchase.

After returning home, He Yuzhu sorted out the purchased medicines and placed them in the medicine cabinet. He felt at ease and reassured, knowing that while taking good care of himself, he was also laying the foundation for a better life in the future.

He sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea, watching the morning sun gradually rise outside the window. The little details in life constitute the tranquility and satisfaction in his heart, which are the driving force and destination of his hard work.

With his love for life and his yearning for delicious food, He Yuzhu always finds some small happiness and satisfaction in his ordinary and fulfilling days. One day, he suddenly remembered a snack he had not tasted for many years - spicy strips.

Spicy noodles were a common snack sold by street vendors when he was a child. At that time, he often bought them with his friends on the street to enjoy the fusion of spicy and salty flavors. Now, although he has grown up, spicy noodles are an irresistible memory and desire in his heart.

So He Yuzhu decided to go to a nearby store to see if there was any such snack. He felt that although life had changed a lot, occasionally reminiscing about that simple and beautiful taste was also a kind of enjoyment and relaxation.

The store was on the corner near his home, an old-fashioned shop with signs of various small commodities hanging in front of the door. When He Yuzhu walked in, a familiar fragrance hit him in the face, which made him recall the scenes of his childhood.

"Boss, do you sell spicy strips here?" He Yuzhu asked, looking at the various snacks on the shelves.

The owner of the store was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a kind smile on his face. When he heard He Yuzhu's question, he smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, yes. Spicy noodles, children still like to eat them now. Wait a minute, I'll find some for you."

The boss skillfully searched the shelves and soon found a bag of spicy strips. He smiled and said, "Young man, this is our signature spicy strips. Try it, it's absolutely authentic."

He Yuzhu took the spicy strips and looked at the brightly colored small package, and couldn't help but feel happy. He hadn't tasted this kind of flavor for a long time, and couldn't help but feel happy.

"Okay, I'll buy this bag." He replied with a smile.

The boss took the money with a smile, handed He Yuzhu a bag of spicy strips, and said, "This is a favorite of foodies, enjoy it."

He Yuzhu felt the joy brought by the small satisfaction. After returning home, he opened the package and took out a spicy strip. The aroma of the spicy strip filled the air. He took a bite and immediately felt the spicy and salty retro taste.

Eating spicy noodles, He Yuzhu gradually calmed down. In this busy and fulfilling city life, he learned to enjoy every little bit of beauty. This simple snack not only brought him satisfaction, but also evoked beautiful memories of his childhood.

He sat on the sofa, tasting spicy noodles, recalling the scenes of running around the streets with his friends when he was a child, and thinking about new plans and challenges in his future work. Life is like this, made up of little satisfactions and memories, which allow people to find a moment of relaxation and pleasure in the face of fatigue and pressure.

He Yuzhu was extremely intelligent since childhood, but he was not a rebellious person. Instead, he was gentle and considerate. He inherited his father's talent for collecting and was good at appreciating antiques. He could often pick out treasures from a pile of unknown pieces. But at the same time, he also had a strong interest in literature. The influence of his parents made him quite knowledgeable about poetry and songs, and he often expressed his inner feelings in poetry.

In the He family courtyard, besides his parents, there lived a woman named Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was not originally a member of the He family. She was an orphan who lived on the streets. He Guoqing took her in out of kindness and righteousness to serve the He family. Qin Huairu was smart and clever since she was a child. When she grew up, she was beautiful and had a strong temperament that was not inferior to that of men. She and He Yuzhu were like siblings. They grew up together in childhood and depended on each other.

Outside Nanjing, there was a wealthy family named Jia. The Jia family was rich enough to rival a country and had a great reputation. The Jia family had a daughter named Zhang, who was beautiful and talented. Zhang was extremely intelligent and was admired by scholars in and outside Nanjing. Her poems and articles were widely circulated. She and He Yuzhu met at a literary gathering in Nanjing. They hit it off immediately and were in love with each other.

He Yuzhu was deeply attracted by the beauty and talent of Zhang from the Jia family, and Zhang was also attracted by He Yuzhu's gentleness. The two exchanged letters frequently and gradually developed feelings for each other. However, despite the deep feelings between them, they were unable to achieve their wish because of their different family backgrounds.

Zhang's parents from the Jia family considered the He family a poor family and refused to marry their daughter to their son. Although He Yuzhu's parents understood this reality, they knew that their son's heart was hard to give up. He Guoqing tried to show his loyalty to the Jia family with his treasures, but it was still difficult to break into the Jia family.

One day, rumors in and outside Nanjing gradually reached the Jia family, saying that He Yuzhu and Zhang had a deep love affair. In order to protect the family's reputation, the Jia family had to order Zhang to break off their friendship with He Yuzhu and strictly forbid them to have any contact with each other. Zhang was unwilling, but could not resist the family's order, so she had to part with He Yuzhu with tears in her eyes.
