Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

The two walked into the kitchen together, and He Yuzhu began to explain in detail how to make braised pork. From selecting meat, cutting, blanching, frying sugar color, and seasoning, every step was explained carefully and clearly. Aunt Li listened carefully and wrote down the key points from time to time.

"Yuzhui, you are such a good child. You taught me so carefully. When I learn it, I will thank you very much." Aunt Li said gratefully.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Aunt Li, we are all neighbors. It is my honor to help you. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Aunt Li nodded, smiling, "Okay, okay, our courtyard is so happy to have you here."

He Yuzhu looked at Aunt Li's departing figure, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that his cooking skills were not only cooking for his family, but also bringing warmth and happiness to the neighbors in the entire courtyard.

As time went by, He Yuzhu and He Daqing became closer and closer, and Yi Zhonghai became healthier under their care. Because of He Yuzhu's existence, the lives of the people in the courtyard became better and more fulfilling.

He Yuzhu is not only a chef in the courtyard, but also a friend and support for everyone. With his efforts and sincerity, he warms everyone's heart and makes his life more fulfilling and meaningful.

One evening, He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner. He was particularly attentive today because he had invited an important guest, Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e is a new resident in the courtyard. Since she moved in, her gentle personality and kind heart have quickly won everyone's favor. Especially He Yuzhu, every time he sees her, he always feels an indescribable warmth and throbbing. He knows that he has a different feeling for Lou Xiao'e.

He Yuzhu prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Lou Xiaoe could feel his care and sincerity tonight. He carefully prepared several of his specialties, hoping to impress her through delicious food.

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu carefully prepared each dish, thinking about Lou Xiao'e's meal. He hoped that she would like the food he cooked, and even more, he hoped that she would feel his love for her.

Time passed by, and dinner was finally ready. He Yuzhu straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked out of the kitchen. He walked into the yard and saw Lou Xiaoe chatting with the neighbors.

"Lou Xiao'e, are you free tonight? I cooked a few dishes and would like to invite you to try them." He Yuzhu tried his best to make his tone sound natural, but he was still a little nervous.

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment when she heard his invitation, then she smiled gently, "Okay, Brother He, I haven't had dinner yet."

He Yuzhu felt relieved and smiled, "That's great, please come in."

The two walked into He Yuzhu's house together. Lou Xiao'e looked at the dishes on the table with surprise in her eyes, "Brother He, the dishes you cook look really delicious."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I hope you like it. Come sit down and try it."

Lou Xiao'e sat down, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, and put it in her mouth. She savored it carefully, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "It tastes really good, Brother He, your cooking skills are really amazing."

He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "As long as you like it, eat more."

As they ate and talked, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and warm. He Yuzhu felt extremely happy and satisfied as he listened to Lou Xiao'e talk about her life and work.

"Lou Xiao'e, actually I have always admired you. It's not easy for you to move here by yourself, live so well, and get along so harmoniously with everyone." He Yuzhu said sincerely.

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. "Brother He, I was not used to it when I first moved here, but everyone was very nice to me, especially you. Every time I had difficulties, you were the first to come and help me. Thank you very much."

He Yuzhu was touched. He looked at Lou Xiao'e with a hint of affection in his eyes. "Lou Xiao'e, as long as you need help, I will always be by your side. Because... I hope you can live happily here."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then a faint blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head and said softly, "Brother He, thank you."

After dinner, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e cleaned up the kitchen together. The two cooperated well with each other, and there was a hint of sweetness in their tacit understanding. He Yuzhu felt extremely happy in his heart. He knew that today's dinner not only made his relationship with Lou Xiao'e closer, but also made him full of expectations for the future.

After finishing the cleaning, the two sat in the yard, enjoying the tranquility of the night. He Yuzhu looked at the stars in the sky, his heart full of longing and hope for the future.

"Lou Xiao'e, actually I have always had a dream." He Yuzhu suddenly said, with a hint of determination in his tone.

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously, "What dream?"

He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at Lou Xiaoe, his eyes sparkling, "I hope to open my own restaurant and use my cooking skills to bring more food and happiness to everyone."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration, "Brother He, you can definitely do it. I believe that with your cooking skills and hard work, you will definitely succeed."

He Yuzhu nodded with emotion, his heart filled with strength, "Thank you, Lou Xiao'e. With your support, I am more confident."

As the night deepened, He Yuzhu sent Lou Xiao'e home, and the two said goodbye at the door. Watching Lou Xiao'e's back disappear into the night, He Yuzhu felt a warm current in his heart.

Back in his room, He Yuzhu sat on the bed, thinking back to every detail of tonight, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. He knew that his relationship with Lou Xiaoe had taken a step further, and his dream for the future was more determined.

From that day on, He Yuzhu worked harder to learn and practice cooking. He knew that his dream was not only for himself, but also to bring more beauty and happiness to Lou Xiaoe and everyone in the Siheyuan.

Life in the courtyard continues, and every day is filled with new stories and challenges. The relationship between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe gradually deepens as they spend time together. They face the difficulties and challenges of life together and write their own stories together.

One morning, He Yuzhu got up early and prepared a hearty breakfast. He decided to invite Lou Xiaoe to have breakfast together, which would not only enhance their relationship, but also make her feel more caring and warmth.

He Yuzhu walked to Lou Xiaoe's door and knocked gently. After a while, Lou Xiaoe opened the door and saw He Yuzhu, with a hint of surprise on her face, "Brother He, is there anything going on so early?"
