Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu's parents are workers. He has many brothers and sisters, but his family is poor. In order to support the family, his parents work hard from morning till night. As the eldest son, He Yuzhu has taken on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers and sisters since he was young. He not only has to help with housework, but also take care of his younger brothers and sisters' food and daily life. Although life is hard, He Yuzhu has understood independence and responsibility since he was a child, and his character is resolute and optimistic.

In the courtyard, neighbors have a close relationship, and everyone helps each other and faces the difficulties of life together. He Yuzhu often helps neighbors do things within his ability. Over time, everyone likes this diligent and sensible child. Especially Aunt Wang in the courtyard, she takes special care of He Yuzhu, often gives him some food, and even teaches him some life principles. He Yuzhu also respects Aunt Wang very much and regards her as his own relative.

When He Yuzhu was in primary school, his grades were always good, but his family's financial situation made him often worry about tuition fees. Fortunately, the teachers in the school cared about him very much, helped him apply for scholarships, and often gave him tutoring. He Yuzhu therefore studied harder, hoping to change his fate through knowledge. He always had a dream in his heart, which was to get into college, find a good job, and change the plight of his family.

As time went by, He Yuzhu gradually grew up. After he entered junior high school, the academic pressure became greater, but he still insisted on studying hard, and also used his spare time to do odd jobs to help reduce the burden on his family. Seeing how hard he worked, the neighbors in the courtyard also lent a hand, some helped him find a job, and some funded some of his tuition. This made He Yuzhu feel the strong neighborly friendship and strengthened his determination to change his destiny.

After graduating from junior high school, He Yuzhu was admitted to a key high school. This was an important turning point in his life and an opportunity he had always dreamed of. During his high school days, He Yuzhu studied hard and participated in various social activities, accumulating a wealth of knowledge and experience. He also made some like-minded friends, discussing academics and sharing life experiences with them. He Yuzhu's horizons became broader, and he began to think about the meaning of life and the direction of future development.

As the college entrance examination approached, He Yuzhu worked even harder. He left home early and came back late every day, studying day and night, and finally achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination. He was successfully admitted to a prestigious university in Beijing, realizing his long-cherished dream. The neighbors in the courtyard were proud of him and congratulated him one after another, and his parents were so happy that they cried.

After entering university, He Yuzhu did not slack off. He still maintained a diligent and studious attitude and actively participated in various academic activities and social practices. He knew that this was just a new starting point in his life and there would be more challenges waiting for him in the future. He began to explore the areas he was interested in and gradually found his career direction.

During his college years, He Yuzhu also met many noble people and friends, whose help and support enabled him to make great progress in both academics and life. He also used his vacations to return to the courtyard to help his family and neighbors do what he could, and do his best to repay everyone's care.

As time goes by, He Yuzhu gradually grows into a responsible young man. He makes continuous breakthroughs in academics and is positive in life, becoming a role model for the younger generation in the courtyard. Although the road ahead is still long, He Yuzhu firmly believes that as long as he works hard, he will be able to realize his dream, change his destiny, and bring more hope and happiness to his family and neighbors.

He Yuzhu met his first love, Li Xiaofen, in college. Li Xiaofen was his classmate, smart, kind and gentle, and the two quickly became good friends. They studied together, discussed problems together, and gradually, a deep relationship developed between the two. He Yuzhu found himself becoming more and more dependent on Li Xiaofen. Her smile, her encouragement, and everything about her made him feel extremely warm and at ease.

On a sunny afternoon, He Yuzhu finally plucked up the courage to ask Li Xiaofen to go for a walk in the small park next to the school. They sat on a bench in the park, and the surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze, and birds sang on the branches. He Yuzhu nervously held her hand and kept encouraging himself in his heart: "I must say it today, I can't delay any longer."

"Xiao Fen, I have something to say to you." He Yuzhu finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

Li Xiaofen looked at him with a smile and asked softly, "What's the matter? Tell me, I'm listening."

"Actually... I've liked you for a long time." He Yuzhu took a deep breath and continued, "Since the first time we studied together, I've felt that you're really, really good. I know we're still studying now, but I hope... I hope you can be with me."

Li Xiaofen showed a gentle smile on her face and nodded gently: "I like you too, He Yuzhu. Let's be together."

He Yuzhu felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He held Li Xiaofen's hand tightly, and he was filled with endless happiness and gratitude. The two officially started dating from that day on, and they spent a wonderful time together in college.

After graduating from university, He Yuzhu found a good job. He worked hard and accumulated a lot of experience and income. Li Xiaofen also worked in a design company. Both of them worked hard for the future. After several years of hard work, they finally bought a small house in the city and prepared to enter the palace of marriage.

On the wedding day, all the neighbors in the courtyard came to attend and gave their sincere blessings to He Yuzhu and Li Xiaofen. The wedding scene was decorated warmly and simply. He Yuzhu's parents watched their son enter a new stage of life with happy smiles on their faces.

At the wedding, He Yuzhu raised his glass and said to all the relatives and friends present: "Thank you all for coming to our wedding today. It is with your support and help that we are where we are today. Xiaofen and I will definitely cherish this relationship and work together to create a better future."

Li Xiaofen also took the microphone and said emotionally: "Thank you for your blessings. We will always support each other and face the ups and downs of life together. We believe that as long as our hearts are together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

After the wedding, He Yuzhu and Li Xiaofen moved into their new home. Although the house is not big, it is full of warmth and love. The two go to get off work and come home every day. Although their lives are busy, they feel extremely fulfilled and happy with each other's company.
