Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu sat down, with a little worry and expectation on his face: "Master, I came here today to tell you something, I hope you can help me."

Yi Zhonghai put down the documents in his hand and looked at He Yuzhu seriously: "Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it."

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and told Qin Huairu's family situation in detail, including her current job and the difficulties at home. Yi Zhonghai frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Xiao He, your friend is really not easy. A woman with a child has a hard life. You want me to help you find a better job, right?"

He Yuzhu nodded, his eyes full of pleading: "Master, you have a wide network of contacts in the factory, can you help keep an eye out and see if there is a suitable job for her?"

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a while, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Xiao He, you know it's not easy to find a job now. Especially in a situation like Qin Huairu, who doesn't have any special skills, it's really not easy to find a better job."

He Yuzhu was a little disappointed, but he was unwilling to give up: "Master, I know this is difficult. But Qin Huairu is really a very hardworking person. As long as she has the opportunity, she will definitely do well. Do you think you can find her some other work in the factory, such as logistics or warehouse management?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu and knew that he really wanted to help Qin Huairu. He thought for a moment and nodded: "Xiao He, since you said so, I will do my best to help. However, you must also be mentally prepared, this matter may take some time."

He Yuzhu said gratefully: "Thank you, Master. Thank you so much. No matter how long it takes, we will wait."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, with a look of relief in his eyes: "Your disciple is always so kind-hearted. Don't worry, I will do my best."

He Yuzhu left Yi Zhonghai's office with a glimmer of hope in his heart. He knew that Yi Zhonghai would keep his word and would do his best to help. Back at the courtyard, Qin Huairu was busy washing clothes in the yard. When she saw He Yuzhu coming back, she smiled and said, "Brother Yuzhu, you're back. How are you today?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "Huai Ru, I went to see Master Yi, and he promised to help us keep an eye out for suitable jobs for you. Although there may not be results soon, we must be patient."

Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu gratefully, her eyes full of warmth: "Brother Yuzhu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't know what to do."

He Yuzhu patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Huai Ru, don't say that. We are friends, and we should help each other. If we work together, we will definitely find a solution to the problem."

As time went by, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu continued to work hard and live. Banggeng also performed better and better in school. He knew that his mother and He Yuzhu had paid a lot for him, so he studied harder, hoping to repay their hard work with excellent grades.

One day a few months later, Yi Zhonghai suddenly called He Yuzhu. He smiled and told He Yuzhu: "Xiao He, I have good news for you. The factory's logistics department is short of people. I recommend Qin Huairu to you. She can try this job."

When He Yuzhu heard the news, he was delighted and quickly thanked him: "Master, thank you so much. This is a great opportunity for Qin Huairu."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "I hope she can seize this opportunity and stay for a long time if she does a good job. You should also help her adapt to the new job."

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly and said gratefully: "I will, Master. Thank you!"

That night, He Yuzhu couldn't wait to tell Qin Huairu the good news. When she heard the news, tears flashed in her eyes and she held He Yuzhu's hand tightly: "Brother Yuzhu, this is really great! Thank you, thank you Master Yi! I will definitely work hard!"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Huai Ru, this is a good opportunity, you must seize it. We all believe in you, you can do it!"

Qin Huairu's heart is full of gratitude and hope. She knows that although the road ahead is still full of challenges, she is no longer fighting alone. With a good friend like He Yuzhu and the help of Yi Zhonghai, she is full of confidence in the future.

In the following days, Qin Huairu started her new job. Although she was a little uncomfortable at first, she quickly won the recognition and praise of her colleagues with her diligence and hard work. He Yuzhu also often cared about her and helped her solve problems at work.

Seeing his mother's efforts and changes, Banggeng became more determined to study hard. He knew that his mother and He Yuzhu had given a lot for him, and he couldn't let them down. He studied hard every day, made continuous progress, and his grades got better and better.

He Yuzhu was in a good mood that day because he saw that Qin Huairu's new job was gradually getting on track and Banggeng's studies were getting better and better. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction. He decided to go to the market to buy some vegetables in the evening and make a hearty dinner to reward himself and Qin Huairu's family.

As the sun sets, the market is crowded with people. He Yuzhu picked some fresh vegetables and meat and was about to go home when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him. It was Ran Qiuye. She was another resident in the courtyard and had a good relationship with everyone. When He Yuzhu saw her, she was walking with her head down, as if she was thinking about something, and she didn't notice the stone on the ground at all.

At this moment, Ran Qiuye accidentally tripped and fell forward. He Yuzhu saw this and hurriedly dropped the food in his hand and ran over to support her. Ran Qiuye frowned in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Qiuye, are you okay? Are you hurt?" He Yuzhu asked nervously, his heart full of worry.

Ran Qiuye tried to stand up, but she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She had to sit back on the ground and bit her lip and said, "I think I sprained my foot. It hurts a lot."

He Yuzhu squatted down and carefully checked her ankle, and found that it was a little red and swollen. He comforted her, "Don't worry, Qiuye, I'll help you go to the hospital for a check-up. It may just be a sprain, but it's better to see a doctor."

Ran Qiuye nodded, feeling both grateful and a little embarrassed: "Brother Yuzhu, thank you for your help."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "What trouble? We are neighbors and we should help each other." As he spoke, he carefully helped Ran Qiuye up, carried her on his back, and walked towards the hospital.
