Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu looked at Lao Li's busy back and felt a little uneasy. He thought that if the meat he brought back today was not clean enough, Ran Qiuye would definitely be unhappy. To be safe, he decided to go to other stalls to have a look.

He turned and walked to the other end of the market, and saw a butcher shop that looked clean and tidy. The meat on the stall was neatly displayed, and the boss was wearing a clean apron and disposable gloves, and was cutting the meat neatly.

"Boss, the meat here looks good. Give me a pound of pork." He Yuzhu said.

The boss looked up at him, smiled and asked, "Is this your first time here? The meat here is newly arrived this morning, absolutely fresh, don't worry." Watching the boss's neat and tidy operation, the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew that only such an environment and sanitary conditions could make Ran Qiuye feel at ease.

"Okay, then weigh one kilogram for me." He Yuzhu said.

The boss weighed the meat quickly, packed it and handed it to him. He Yuzhu paid and took the meat home, thinking that he would make her favorite braised pork tonight. He Yuzhu saw Ran Qiuye sorting some documents in the living room. She looked up and saw He Yuzhu, with a warm smile on her face: "Yuzhu, did you buy it? He handed the meat to her: "The meat I bought today is very fresh. I saw that the stall is clean and hygienic. You must be satisfied."

Ran Qiuye took the meat, smelled it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it looks good. Let's make braised pork today."

He Yuzhu looked at Ran Qiuye with a smile, his heart full of warmth and satisfaction. He knew that in order to make his family eat with peace of mind, he was willing to spend more time selecting ingredients.

The two walked into the kitchen together, He Yuzhu was responsible for processing the meat, and Ran Qiuye began to prepare other ingredients. The kitchen was filled with rich aromas, and they exchanged cooking experiences from time to time.

“Yuzhu, your meat-cutting skills are getting better and better.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I learned all this from you. You taught me well."

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly: "We learn from each other and make progress together. This way, life will be more interesting."

After a while of hard work, the braised pork was finally ready. The fragrant braised pork was served on the table, bright red in color and delicious in taste. He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye smiled at each other, their hearts filled with satisfaction and joy.

"Today's braised pork is especially delicious." Ran Qiuye took a bite and said with satisfaction.

He Yuzhu also took a piece and savored it carefully: "Yes, it's delicious. Qiuye, life is always so beautiful with you around."

Ran Qiuye looked at He Yuzhu with a smile, her heart filled with warmth and gratitude: "Yuzhu, the future will be better."

The dinner was held in a warm atmosphere, and the two chatted and shared their experiences and feelings of the day. He Yuzhu felt that the beauty of life is reflected in these ordinary moments.

As night fell, they knew

"Akiba, "Me too, Yuzhu."

As night fell, the courtyard was quiet, with only a few dogs barking in the distance. He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye finished a day's work in the kitchen and sat in the living room, enjoying the rare tranquility. Suddenly, Ran Qiuye's cell phone rang. She picked up the phone, looked at the screen, and her face changed slightly.

"Yuzhui, I have to answer a call. It might be something." Ran Qiuye stood up and walked to the balcony to answer the phone.

He Yuzhu sat on the sofa, feeling a little uneasy. He looked at Ran Qiuye's back, wondering what had happened. There seemed to be a hurried voice on the other end of the phone. Ran Qiuye answered in a low voice, looking at He Yuzhu from time to time, with complex emotions in his eyes.

A few minutes later, Ran Qiuye hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and walked back to the living room. He Yuzhu saw her solemn expression and became more and more uneasy: "Qiuye,"

Ran Qiuye was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Yuzhu, a friend of mine called just now. He told me that our company might have to lay off employees, and it is very likely that I will be affected. He was shocked. He looked at Ran Qiuye in disbelief, trying to find traces of joking on her face. But Ran Qiuye's expression told him that all this was true.

"How could this happen? Aren't you a backbone of the company?" He Yuzhu's voice trembled a little, and he found it difficult to accept this fact.

Ran Qiuye lowered his head and said softly: "The company's performance has not been very good recently. I heard that a large-scale restructuring is going to be carried out. I know this matter is very sudden, but we have to face it."

He Yuzhu's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He knew that Ran Qiuye had been working hard in the company and had put in a lot of effort. Now that he was suddenly faced with such a change, he felt extremely angry and helpless.

"Qiuye, we can't just wait to be laid off. Is there any way? For example, talk to the leader, or..." He Yuzhu said anxiously.

Ran Qiuye sighed, looked up at He Yuzhu, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Yuzhu, I know you are worried about me, but things have come to this, we must face it calmly. I will try my best to fight for it, but we must also be prepared for the worst."

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that Ran Qiuye was right, panic and anger would not solve the problem. "Qiuye, I will always be by your side. Let's find a solution together."

Ran Qiuye nodded, "Thank you, Yuzhu. I'm not afraid as long as you are here."

In the next few days, Ran Qiuye was busy dealing with various changes in the company, and He Yuzhu supported her as much as possible. He knew that this period of time was very difficult for Ran Qiuye, and all he could do was to give her enough support and encouragement.

One night, Ran Qiuye came home from get off work with a tired look on her face. He Yuzhu went to meet her and asked, "Qiuye, is there any good news?"

Ran Qiuye shook his head and forced a smile: "There is no progress for the time being, but I will continue to work hard."

He Yuzhu looked at her tired appearance, and his heart was full of heartache. He gently hugged Ran Qiuye and whispered: "Qiuye, no matter what the result is, we must believe that there will be better opportunities in the future. You are the best, and you will shine no matter what position you are in."

Ran Qiuye leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder, feeling his warmth and gaining strength in her heart. She knew that with He Yuzhu's support, she would not be alone.

On the weekend, He Yuzhu decided to take Ran Qiuye out to relax. They went to a small town in the suburbs, where the scenery was picturesque and the air was fresh. The two strolled along the streets of the town, feeling the tranquility and beauty.

"Yuzhu, the environment here is so good. I really want to live here." Ran Qiuye exclaimed.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed beautiful here. However, no matter where we are, as long as we are together, it is home. My heart is filled with warmth and gratitude.
