Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu smiled proudly and said, "Of course, I studied hard."

Dinner was ready, and the two quietly brought the dishes to the table. He Yuzhu called Banggeng to come home. As soon as Banggeng entered the door, he smelled the strong aroma of food. He asked in surprise: "Uncle He, what good day is today? There are so many delicious foods!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Banggeng, there is no special day today, we just want to give you a surprise. Come, sit down and try our cooking."

Bang Geng looked at the table full of dishes, his eyes sparkling with excitement and gratitude: "Thank you Uncle He, thank you Mom, you have worked hard."

The family sat around the dining table, enjoying delicious dishes in a warm and joyful atmosphere. He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu and Banggeng's happy faces, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

After dinner, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu cleaned up the kitchen together. Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu and said softly, "Brother Yuzhu, today's dinner is really great. Banggeng must be very happy."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Huai Ru, seeing you happy makes me feel that everything is worth it. We should do this more often, cook together, and share happiness together."

Qin Huairu leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder, her heart filled with warmth and gratitude: "Brother Yuzhu, with you here, I feel this family is becoming warmer and warmer. Let's work together to make our lives better."

He Yuzhu held her hand tightly and said firmly: "Huai Ru, we will do it. As long as we are together, we are not afraid of any difficulties."

In the following days, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu cooperated more tacitly and managed this small family together. They cooked together, took care of the housework together, and took care of Banggeng together. Although their life was plain, it was full of warmth and happiness.

Banggeng also felt the warmth and love of his family. He worked harder in his studies and his grades kept improving. He knew that his parents had given a lot for him and he couldn't let them down.

The days in the courtyard continued to flow peacefully like flowing water, and the lives of He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu and Banggeng became more and more stable in warmth and hard work. However, some past events always surfaced inadvertently, causing He Yuzhu to fall into deep thought. On this day, he sat alone in the yard, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and couldn't help but recall the past with Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao's acquaintance can be traced back to their youth, when they had just started working in the factory. Both of them were newcomers and had many things they didn't understand at work, so they would often discuss and consult with the old workers. During that time, they supported each other in the factory and gradually became good friends who could talk about anything.

He Yuzhu remembers one time when the factory needed to complete a batch of urgent orders and everyone had to work overtime until late at night. Xu Damao was not feeling well that day and almost fainted several times, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. He Yuzhu saw this and admired him very much, and felt that this friend was more trustworthy.

That night, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao walked out of the factory together, the moonlight shining on their tired faces. He Yuzhu patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Damo, you are really great today! If there are any difficulties in the future, we will shoulder them together."

Xu Damao forced a smile: "Yuzhu, we are brothers, and we have to face anything together."

He Yuzhu nodded and silently remembered this friendship in his heart. Since then, their relationship in the factory has become closer, helping each other and making progress together.

However, life is not always smooth sailing. He Yuzhu remembered that once Xu Damao was punished by his leader because of a misunderstanding. During that time, he was in a low mood and was unhappy almost every day. He Yuzhu saw it and was worried about it, so he decided to help him untie the knot.

One weekend, He Yuzhu invited Xu Damao to go to the suburbs to relax. The two sat by the river, and He Yuzhu said earnestly: "Da Mao, life is bound to encounter setbacks, and we can't deny ourselves because of a failure. You have always been an excellent worker, and the leaders will understand sooner or later."

Xu Damao sighed, his eyes confused: "Yuzhu, I just feel that I am incompetent and can't even handle such a small matter."

He Yuzhu held his hand and said firmly: "Da Mao, everyone makes mistakes. What's important is how we learn from our mistakes and become stronger. You have to believe in yourself, and you also have to believe that we brothers will always be by your side."

Xu Damao's eyes flashed with emotion and he nodded: "Yuzhu, thank you. I will adjust my mentality and continue to work hard."

After that conversation, Xu Damao gradually came out of the trough and picked himself up again. He worked harder at work and eventually won the recognition of his leaders and the respect of his colleagues. He Yuzhu was happy for him and also strengthened his belief in helping his friends.

Recalling these past events, He Yuzhu felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that it was these little bits and pieces of shared experiences that made their friendship so deep and indestructible.

At this time, Qin Huairu came over and saw He Yuzhu in deep thought. She asked softly, "Brother Yuzhu, what are you thinking about?"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I was thinking about the days when I worked with Damao, and many memories came to my mind."

Qin Huairu looked at him tenderly and said softly, "Brother Yuzhu, your friendship is really rare. Damao is a good man, and he must be very grateful to you."

He Yuzhu nodded, feeling deeply moved: "Yes, Huairu, friendship is the most precious wealth in our lives. No matter what the future holds, we must cherish every friend around us."

Qin Huairu leaned against He Yuzhu and sighed softly: "Brother Yuzhu, we are so lucky to have a friend like you."

He Yuzhu held her hand and said firmly: "Huai Ru, our lives will get better and better. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will face it together."

At this time, Bang Geng ran out of the room and saw his parents in the yard. He asked excitedly, "Uncle He, Mom, what are you talking about?"

He Yuzhu smiled and waved: "Banggeng, come here, let's chat together. Tonight, let's make a special dinner, okay?"

Bang Geng's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Okay, Uncle He, Mom, let's cook together!"

The family walked into the kitchen and started preparing dinner. He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu cooperated tacitly, Banggeng helped on the side, and the kitchen was full of laughter. He Yuzhu looked at this scene, and his heart was full of satisfaction and happiness.

After dinner, He Yuzhu sat in the yard, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of longing and hope for the future. He knew that although life was full of challenges and uncertainties, as long as he had the company of family and friends, everything would become better.
