Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

The tenacity and independence revealed in her conversation made He Yuzhu admire her. Ran Qiuye also praised He Yuzhu's craftsmanship, and the two had a great conversation, as if they had known each other for a long time.

In the following days, Ran Qiuye often came to He Yuzhu to chat, and sometimes helped to cook. She learned quickly and soon could make some simple home-cooked dishes. He Yuzhu liked the feeling of being with her, and her arrival added a lot of fun to his life. The courtyard was very lively, and the neighbors gathered together to chat. Ran Qiuye was among them, and her laughter was crisp and pleasant, infecting the people around her. He Yuzhu stood aside, watching her chatting and laughing with everyone, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

At this time, Aunt Zhang, an old resident in the courtyard, came over and said with a smile: "Xiao He, look at how good this girl Qiuye is. She is beautiful and has a good personality. She is really a rare good girl!" He didn't say anything. He also knew in his heart that Ran Qiuye was indeed a good girl, but he didn't want to disturb her life because of this. After all, she still had her own dreams and pursuits, and he didn't want to be a stumbling block on her way forward.

However, Ran Qiuye seemed to be aware of He Yuzhu's thoughts. Once, she found He Yuzhu alone and said bluntly: "Master He, I know you are a good person, but please don't feel that you are unworthy. I came here to find a feeling of home, and you let me find this feeling. He didn't expect Ran Qiuye to express his feelings so directly. He was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Qiuye, I understand what you mean, but I can't delay you. I hope you can find a better life and pursue your dreams. "

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly, "Master He, my dream is to find someone who truly cares about me and live a simple and happy life with him. You are the person I have been looking for."

He Yuzhu was moved. He looked at Ran Qiuye, as if he had truly seen her heart for the first time. He knew that this strong and independent woman was willing to give up everything for him and follow him to the ends of the earth. He no longer hesitated, gently held Ran Qiuye's hand, and said solemnly: "Qiuye, let's work together to create a happy life for us."

The days of He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye are as peaceful and happy as flowing water, but life in the courtyard is not always peaceful. One morning, He Yuzhu just went out and ran into Yi Zhonghai, an old resident of the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai was holding a lot of fishing gear in his hand, and smiled and said, "Xiao He, are you free today? Accompany me to the river to catch some fish. We haven't been out together for a long time."

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai, and his heart moved slightly. These days, he has been busy with trivial matters in the kitchen and has not relaxed for a long time. Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed with a smile: "Okay, it happens that I also want to go out for some fresh air."

After a simple preparation, the two headed for the river. Along the way, Yi Zhonghai chattered about the recent interesting things in the courtyard, and He Yuzhu occasionally responded with a few words, and his mood became much happier. When they arrived at the river, the water was shimmering and the breeze was blowing, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Yi Zhonghai skillfully set up the fishing rod, and He Yuzhu helped to prepare the bait.

Sitting by the river, He Yuzhu looked at the ripples on the water, and Ran Qiuye's figure emerged in his mind. Since she came to the courtyard, his life has become more fulfilling, but he often worries whether he can give her enough happiness. He knows Ran Qiuye's independence and strength, but he also understands the warmth and support she longs for deep in her heart.

"He Yuzhu, what are you thinking about? You look absent-minded." Yi Zhonghai suddenly interrupted He Yuzhu's thoughts and patted his shoulder with a smile.

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just got distracted. Do you think we can catch a big fish this time?"

Yi Zhonghai laughed: "Big fish? That depends on luck. But, the most important thing about fishing is your attitude, and enjoying the process is the key."

He Yuzhu nodded, thinking that this made some sense. He held the fishing rod, feeling the movement in the water, and his heart gradually calmed down. Yi Zhonghai glanced at him and continued, "Xiao He, I see that you have been getting close to Miss Qiuye recently. When do you plan to settle down?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Settled? I would like to, but I'm afraid of delaying her. She is a good girl and deserves a better life."

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Xiao He, you are too honest. The fact that Miss Qiu Ye likes you shows that she doesn't care about those empty things. You, don't always think that you are not good enough. As long as you treat her well with all your heart, that's enough."

He Yuzhu nodded silently, and his feelings for Ran Qiuye became more firm. He knew that Yi Zhonghai's words made sense, and he couldn't always be timid, and should face the future more bravely.

The two fished for several hours by the river. Although they didn't catch much, they were in a very good mood. He must have a good talk with Ran Qiuye when he returns and tell her his feelings honestly. He Yuzhu saw Ran Qiuye drying clothes in the yard. Her smile was as warm as the sun, which made his heart throb. He walked up to her and called softly, "Qiuye."

Ran Qiuye turned around and saw He Yuzhu, with a happy smile on his face: "You guys are back, did you catch anything today?"

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head: "I didn't catch anything, but I'm in a good mood. Qiuye, I have something to tell you."

Ran Qiuye put down the clothes in her hands and walked to He Yuzhu, "What's the matter? You look so serious."

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Qiuye, I know you are an independent and strong girl, but I have always been worried that I can't give you enough happiness. But today, I think it through. As long as we are sincere to each other, the road ahead will definitely become wider and wider. I want to face everything in the future with you."

Ran Qiuye's eyes flashed with emotion, and she said softly: "Yuzhu, I already know your feelings. I am willing to be with you, and we will face it together."

He Yuzhu was excited, he knew that he had found the person who was willing to stand by him through thick and thin. The two hugged each other tightly, as if the whole world became brighter at this moment.

The days passed peacefully, and the relationship between He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye became deeper and deeper. The life in the courtyard became warmer because of their happiness. Every morning, He Yuzhu always got up early to prepare a hearty breakfast for Ran Qiuye, and Ran Qiuye returned every bit of He Yuzhu's efforts with her smile and care.
