Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

One night, there was a sudden power outage in the courtyard, and the courtyard was pitch black. He Yuzhu found a candle and lit up the hut. The soft candlelight reflected on the faces of Qin Huairu and Banggeng, which seemed particularly warm. Banggeng did his homework by candlelight, and He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu sat beside him, watching him quietly.

He Yuzhu suddenly said, "Huai Ru, have you ever thought about what our life will be like when Bang Geng grows up?"

Qin Huairu smiled slightly, with longing in her eyes: "Brother Yuzhu, I hope Banggeng can have a good future and no longer have to work as hard as we do. As for us, as long as we can be together and live in peace, it will be good enough."

He Yuzhu nodded, his heart full of anticipation: "Yes, we will definitely have a bright future."

At this moment, Bang Geng raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, his eyes sparkling with gratitude: "Uncle He, Mom, thank you. You have given so much for me, I will definitely not let you down."

He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu smiled at each other, their hearts filled with comfort and warmth. They knew that although the road ahead was full of challenges, as long as there was love and hope in their hearts, they would be able to go further.

He Yuzhu's heart was filled with longing for the future and love for Qin Huairu. He decided to do more within his ability to make the family live a better life. One day, after get off work, He Yuzhu made a detour to the vegetable market and bought a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits. He thought that since life was improving, he should let his family eat better.

When he returned to the courtyard with a heavy basket of vegetables, it was already getting dark. Qin Huairu was standing in the yard waiting for him. Seeing him coming back with a lot of bags, she hurried over to greet him: "Brother Yuzhu, why did you buy so many things?"

He Yuzhu smiled and handed over the basket: "Huai Ru, these are fresh vegetables and fruits. I think we should eat better so that we can have better spirit and physical strength to face life."

Qin Huairu looked at the full basket of vegetables, and a touch of emotion and relief flashed in her eyes: "Brother Yuzhu, you always think about us so much. Thank you."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said softly: "Huai Ru, we are a family, no need to be so polite. The health of you and Bang Geng is the most important."

Qin Huairu nodded, her heart full of warmth and gratitude. She and He Yuzhu moved the basket of vegetables into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner. He Yuzhu rolled up his sleeves and skillfully washed and cut vegetables, while Qin Huairu was busy cooking. The two cooperated well, and the kitchen was filled with a warm atmosphere.

While cooking, He Yuzhu couldn't help but say, "Huai Ru, when Bang Geng has his summer vacation, let's go to the suburbs together, let him relax and see the outside world."

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Yuzhu, this is a good idea. Banggeng has been running between home and school, so it's time to let him go out and relax."

He Yuzhu nodded, full of expectations for future plans. He hoped that the family could not only find happiness in daily life, but also feel love and care in every detail of life.

Dinner was ready, and the aroma filled the air. Bang Geng smelled the aroma, ran out of the study, and saw the table full of dishes. He asked in surprise: "Uncle He, it's so rich today!"

He Yuzhu smiled and patted his shoulder: "Banggeng, you study so hard, we should reward you. Come and try these fresh dishes."

The family sat together, the table was filled with laughter. He Yuzhu looked at the smiles on Qin Huairu and Banggeng's faces, his heart full of satisfaction and happiness. He knew that all the efforts were worth it.

After the meal, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu cleaned up the dishes together. Qin Huairu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yuzhu, you bought so many dishes today, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Huai Ru, money is used to improve life. As long as we are together, it is worth spending money on these things."

Qin Huairu looked at him gratefully, with a warm feeling in her heart: "Brother Yuzhu, I really feel happy to have you here."

He Yuzhu smiled and held her hand: "Huai Ru, me too. Let's work together to make our lives better."

In the following days, He Yuzhu continued to run this small family with his heart. He got up early every day, went to the market to pick the freshest ingredients, and cooked for his family in various ways. Qin Huairu took care of the housework at home and took care of Banggeng's study and life. Their lives were full of ordinary happiness, and they worked hard for each other's future every day.

Banggeng's academic performance has been steadily improving. Seeing the hard work of his mother and He Yuzhu, he is filled with gratitude and motivation. He knows that he must not let them down and must study harder to share more responsibilities for the family in the future.

One weekend, He Yuzhu suddenly suggested: "Huai Ru, Bang Geng, let's go to the suburbs for a picnic. I heard that the scenery there is beautiful and the air is good, just right for us to relax."

Qin Huairu and Banggeng both agreed. So He Yuzhu prepared some simple food, took a blanket and a water bottle, and the family set off happily. The scenery in the suburbs was as beautiful as the rumors said. The green grass was full of wild flowers of various colors, the mountains in the distance were rolling, and the air was filled with fresh floral fragrance.

He Yuzhu spread out a blanket and everyone sat on it, enjoying the food and the beautiful scenery. Banggeng ran excitedly on the grass, releasing the long-suppressed study pressure. Qin Huairu looked at her son's smiling face, and her heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

He Yuzhu sat next to Qin Huairu and said softly, "Huairu, look how happy Banggeng is. Time like this is really the most precious to us."

Qin Huairu snuggled up to He Yuzhu and nodded gently: "Yes, Brother Yuzhu, with you here, I feel that everything has become so beautiful."

He Yuzhu held her hand, his eyes firm: "Huai Ru, no matter how difficult the future is, I will always be with you and Bang Geng. Let's work hard together to make our lives better."

Qin Huairu's eyes sparkled with tears, and she said softly: "Brother Yuzhu, thank you. I will always be with you and face everything together."

After He Yuzhu spent a pleasant weekend in the suburbs with Qin Huairu and Banggeng, life in the courtyard continued as usual. He Yuzhu was full of hope for the future, but he also understood that the difficulties and challenges in life would not disappear easily. He decided not to ask for trouble and continue to bear all the burdens on his own, but to learn to solve problems more wisely.

One day, when He Yuzhu was busy in the factory, he suddenly remembered that Xu Damao had mentioned an opportunity for a transfer within the factory.
