Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Every day living in the courtyard, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu becomes closer and more tacit. They pursue their dreams and goals in their respective fields, support and understand each other, and jointly guard this peaceful and warm life.

On an ordinary day, He Yuzhu was busy preparing dinner. He opened the cupboard as usual, but unexpectedly found that the ceramic bowls and chopsticks were missing. He couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little confused and uneasy.

"Sister Ru, do you know where all the dishes and chopsticks in our house have gone?" He Yuzhu asked.

Qin Huairu walked into the kitchen upon hearing the sound. Seeing his puzzled expression, she smiled and said, "I put them in the yard to dry. Did you forget?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and remembered that he had temporarily put the dishes in the yard because of moving things a few days ago. He nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it, I forgot about it."

Qin Huairu looked at him with a smile, her heart full of tenderness and understanding for him. She knew that He Yuzhu had a tight work schedule and often forgot some details because of trivial things. She quietly put away the dishes in the yard and put them back in the cupboard, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that although their life was ordinary, it was full of mutual understanding and care.

"By the way, Sister Ru, the dishes and chopsticks in our house are a bit old. I plan to buy some new disposable ones tomorrow." He Yuzhu suddenly said again.

Qin Huairu frowned slightly after hearing this: "Disposable bowls and chopsticks are not good for the environment, and they are not practical enough. Let's continue to use ceramic ones. They can be used repeatedly, which is both environmentally friendly and economical."

He Yuzhu shook his head in embarrassment: "But we are busy these days, and it is troublesome to wash these dishes every day."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Although it is troublesome, this is our life and our choice. Perhaps we can share and face these little troubles together."

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, and looking at Qin Huairu's sincere eyes, he gradually had an epiphany. He began to realize that every choice in life is not just a simple satisfaction of material needs, but also a reflection of an attitude towards life and values.

"Sister Ru, you are right. Let's continue using ceramic dishes and chopsticks." He Yuzhu said softly, with a hint of gratitude and understanding in his eyes.

Since then, their life in the courtyard has become more orderly and warm. Every morning, He Yuzhu will take the initiative to help Qin Huairu prepare breakfast, and they enjoy a simple and warm family time together. Whether in work or life, they have become each other's strongest support and reliance.

He Yuzhu also began to understand that the dishes and chopsticks at home are not only a part of life, but also a symbol of the lifestyle and happiness they have created together. In the antique market, he is not only a businessman, but also a person with deep family feelings and sense of responsibility. He gradually understood how to find balance and satisfaction in life while pursuing career success.

In the lives of He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, the days were still peaceful and fulfilling. However, one day, a small change happened in their lives.

An elderly deaf-mute lady came to the gate of the courtyard, leaning on a cane and looking at the door expectantly. He Yuzhu noticed her, walked up to her, and asked politely, "Hello, how can I help you?"

The old lady replied in sign language: "I heard there are some good antiques here, I want to buy some things."

He Yuzhu led her into the courtyard with a smile and enthusiastically introduced various antiques. Although the old lady had limited hearing, her eyes were extremely sharp and she showed great interest and love for every item on display.

"This piece of blue and white porcelain is a work from the Qing Dynasty and is very exquisite." He Yuzhu introduced it in detail using gestures.

The old lady carefully felt each antique on display, revealing a satisfied smile. She bought a few items she liked, and although her communication methods were limited, the communication between her and He Yuzhu was so smooth and harmonious.

Qin Huairu was watching all this silently, and she felt an indescribable warmth and touch. She saw from He Yuzhu's eyes the meticulous care and respect for the old lady, as well as the sincere attitude and professionalism towards every customer.

"Yuzhu, you treat every customer so kindly and warmly." Qin Huairu walked up to him and praised softly.

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Every customer has his or her own story and background. I am very pleased with their love and pursuit of antiques."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Your sincerity and concentration are the key to your success in the antique market."

With the passing of the old lady, He Yuzhu felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. He began to re-examine what he did in the antique industry, not just the pursuit of profits and market share, but also the respect and understanding of cultural heritage and customer needs.

In the days that followed, He Yuzhu continued to treat every customer with professionalism and enthusiasm. He began to pay more attention to communication and understanding with customers, and strived to make every transaction a pleasant and memorable experience. He gradually became a respected and trusted name in the antique market.

In the courtyard, the relationship between him and Qin Huairu has become more tacit and intimate. They support each other, face the challenges and difficulties in life together, and enjoy an ordinary and happy family life. Their courtyard is not only a residence, but also a witness to their life and growth.

On a rainy morning, He Yuzhu got up early and prepared to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy some necessary medicines. He walked through the path of the courtyard, feeling the freshness and moisture brought by the morning rain, but felt a little uneasy.

Since the last market turmoil, he began to pay more attention to his health. That turmoil made him realize that irregular life and long-term work pressure might affect his health. Although he always worked with energy and enthusiasm, deep-seated worries and tensions often troubled him.

"Yuzhui, where are you going so early?" Qin Huairu asked with concern when she saw him getting ready to go out.

He Yuzhu smiled and replied: "I want to go to the pharmacy to buy some cold medicine. I feel a little uncomfortable recently."

Qin Huairu frowned: "You have been too busy with work recently, you should pay attention to rest and adjust yourself."

He Yuzhu nodded and said with deep feeling: "Yes, I realized that the body is the capital of revolution, and I cannot ignore my health."
