Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

In recent times, the various changes in life have been like a series of wonderful dramas, being performed one after another, but without exception, these changes are like a spring breeze, making Yi Zhonghai feel extremely good, as if he was bathed in warm sunshine every day.

On an ordinary yet special day, when the setting sun slowly sank to the west like molten gold, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red, and the afterglow gently fell on the earth like silk threads, covering the world with a layer of dreamy glow, Yi Zhonghai ended his busy and fulfilling working time at the Red Star Steel Mill.

He took brisk and powerful steps, embarking on the familiar and expected road home. At this moment, he seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, his steps were light and elastic, and every step was full of love and yearning for life;

And that face, which was originally amiable and always had a warm smile, was now filled with joy that could not be concealed, and his eyes were shining with happiness, as if the whole world had become a better place because of him.

When he walked into the courtyard full of fireworks and warmth, the neighbors in the courtyard seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When they saw Yi Zhonghai returning, they greeted him enthusiastically. Some waved and some called his name affectionately.

In response to everyone's enthusiastic greetings and pleasantries, Yi Zhonghai responded one by one with a smile. His smile was like a spring breeze, warm and sincere.

His warm gaze seemed to convey a silent language whenever it met everyone's. Everyone could clearly feel the deep trust and the inexpressible gratitude contained therein.

Yi Zhonghai knew very well that the reason why he was treated so warmly and respected by his neighbors was because everyone knew the hard work, unremitting efforts he had made and the remarkable results he had finally achieved in solving the water problem in the courtyard house.

His dedication and hard work are like a seed that takes root and sprouts in the fertile soil of the courtyard, eventually blooming into gorgeous flowers, benefiting everyone.

Look, Grandpa Zhang was holding his beloved pipe that had accompanied him for many years, and with his other hand he gently patted Yi Zhonghai's back, praising him non-stop: "Master Yi, you are really a well-known capable person here! I heard that you were the only one who was busy from beginning to end in this major project of installing the water pump, and you were the main promoter! Oh, thank you so much! If you hadn't taken the lead in this matter, we don't know when we can use this convenient and clean water in our courtyard! You are really our great contributor!"

After saying that, Uncle Zhang took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the sweat off Yi Zhonghai's forehead. His sincerity and gratitude were beyond words.

"Oh my, Uncle Yi, you are simply a savior who came down from the sky!" Xiao Liu's wife's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. She hugged her young child tightly, and her bright eyes were shining with light as bright and full of gratitude as the brightest stars in the night sky.

Her voice trembled slightly because of the emotional excitement, and she continued, "This summer, it seems that God is deliberately against us. Water has become a huge problem. The sun is scorching during the day and it is hot and stuffy at night. My child's father and I worry about it all day and night, and our hearts are as anxious as if we are on fire. The water bucket at home is almost empty, and the children's bath water and cooking water have become big problems. We look for water everywhere, but how can it be so easy? As the days go by, our hearts sink day by day. But who would have thought that just when we felt desperate and were about to be drowned by despair, you actually appeared like a timely rain after a long drought! Not only did you bring the news of the installation of the water pump, but you also personally rushed around to coordinate, which immediately brought us hope of life and let us see the dawn of solving the water problem!"

After hearing these affectionate words, Yi Zhonghai showed a humble and warm smile on his face. He waved his hands repeatedly and explained sincerely: "Oh, Xiao Liu's wife, please don't praise me like that. I can't bear it in my heart. How can this be considered my own credit? This is actually the result of everyone's concerted efforts. I just did my part and did what I could. If we want to say who really made great contributions, it must be the strong support of the street office and the water conservancy department, as well as your active cooperation and patient waiting! Besides, the installation of this water pump is not for the convenience of a certain household, but to allow everyone in our entire courtyard to enjoy this convenience and make our lives better. So, in the days to come, we must continue to unite and work together! Only in this way can our lives become more and more prosperous!"

At this moment, Aunt Wang came over with a smile, carrying a plate of delicious, freshly baked, steaming hot snacks.

The golden and tempting pumpkin pie exudes an attractive sweet aroma, making people want to take a bite.

Aunt Wang's enthusiasm was as warm as the summer sun. She smiled and said, "Yi Zhonghai, look at you, you've been running around for us all, you've worked so hard! You're the well-deserved pride of our courtyard! Come, come, try the pumpkin pie I made and see if it suits your taste. You've been toiling all day, it's time to nourish your body!" As she spoke, Aunt Wang gently handed the plate in her hand to Yi Zhonghai, her eyes filled with deep respect and gratitude.

Yi Zhonghai carefully took the dessert, his hands trembling slightly, as if what he held in his hands was not just an ordinary pastry, but a heavy friendship and trust. He stared at the pumpkin pie in his hands, and an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.

The golden color and sweet smell of the pumpkin pie made him seem to see the smiling faces of every resident in the courtyard and their yearning for a better life. This friendship was like the warm sunshine in spring, which sprinkled in his heart and made him feel extremely warm and comfortable.

He took a light bite of the pumpkin pie; the sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth and warmed his heart.

He raised his head and slowly glanced at the faces of the people around him. The sincere smiles on those faces were like flowers blooming in spring, gorgeous and warm. They gathered together to form a powerful force that penetrated the softest place in Yi Zhonghai's heart.

In those smiles, there was trust, gratitude and expectation. They were intertwined together, making Yi Zhonghai deeply realize that this courtyard house was not just a residence for a group of people, but also a big family full of love and care, mutual support and common growth.

Here, everyone silently contributes and works hard for their common life in their own unique way. Their hearts are closely connected, and together they weave a happy chapter belonging to this courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, tried to calm his excitement, and then said in an affectionate, firm and powerful voice: "Thank you all for your trust and support. This trust and support is an invaluable asset to me.

I, Yi Zhonghai, solemnly promise to you all that I will work harder, live up to your expectations, and contribute all my strength to our Siheyuan. Our Siheyuan is a big family that is united as one. As long as all of us are united and march forward towards the same goal, no matter how big the difficulties are, we will be able to overcome them. This water pump project is just a good start. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, in the near future, we will have more and better things, and our lives will become better as a result. "

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's passionate and powerful words, there was a burst of warm applause all around, which was full of admiration for Yi Zhonghai and beautiful visions for the future.

At this time, Grandpa Wang came forward, patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile on his face: "Old Yi, you really deserve to be the lucky star of our courtyard! Since you came to our courtyard, our life has been getting better and better. This time you took the lead in organizing this water pump project, which solved a big problem for us. When this water pump is installed, it will be much more convenient for us to wash clothes and cook in summer. We don't have to wait in line for half a day for that little bit of water like before. You are really the pride of our courtyard!"

"Yes, Master Yi, your suggestion is just what I need!"

Aunt Li held tightly in both hands a handful of fresh and juicy vegetables that she had just picked from her own yard. She walked slowly with a somewhat staggering step and said loudly with a smile on her face, "My legs and feet have always been inconvenient. Every time I go to fetch water, I feel tired and out of breath. Now, with this water pump, I won't have to worry so much about using water in the future! Thank you so much, Master Yi!" As she spoke, Aunt Li handed the vegetables in her hand to Yi Zhonghai. There were crystal dewdrops hanging on the vegetables, as if Aunt Li's gratitude to Yi Zhonghai was shining.

Yi Zhonghai smiled faintly when he heard Aunt Li's praise. He quickly waved his hands and responded humbly, "Oh, you are too kind! This is not just my achievement, but the result of our concerted efforts. I contacted the street office a few days ago, and they said they would send relevant personnel to conduct an on-site inspection as soon as possible. If all conditions meet the requirements, the installation work can be officially started as early as next week. However, when the actual installation comes, I am afraid that we will need to contribute our efforts and help, such as assisting with installation and subsequent debugging, etc."

"No problem! Old Yi, as long as it's your order, we will definitely do it!" Aunt Zhao, who has always been impatient, patted her chest and expressed her attitude without thinking when she heard what Yi Zhonghai said, "Our courtyard has always been a place where people's hearts are particularly united. As long as everyone thinks in the same direction and works together, no matter what difficulties and obstacles we encounter, they will definitely be solved!"

"Yes, yes, Aunt Zhao is absolutely right!" The neighbors all echoed in unison. The sounds of approval resounded throughout the yard. The already lively atmosphere now became like a bonfire, burning fiercely and becoming even more enthusiastic and extraordinary.

Yi Zhonghai stood in the crowd, and felt a warm current flowing slowly through his heart. He looked around, looking at these familiar and friendly faces, and his heart was full of emotion. In this small courtyard, although there are inevitably some minor frictions and conflicts on weekdays, whenever there is a problem that really needs to be solved together, everyone will stand up without hesitation and contribute their own strength. This strong human touch deeply moved Yi Zhonghai, and he deeply realized that here, everyone is like a member of a big family, interdependent and indispensable.

"Okay then! In that case, I will go back to the house to prepare some relevant information about the water pump. Everyone, don't be idle, pack up and do some preparation work within your ability. Let's all work together and strive to use this convenient and practical water pump as soon as possible!"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking those inspiring words loudly, his eyes were shining with irrepressible excitement and anticipation, as if he had seen the beautiful picture of the water pump being installed and everyone sharing the convenient water source. His voice was full of strength and determination, which deeply moved everyone present. As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled and waved to everyone. That smile showed both gratitude to everyone and yearning for the wonderful life that was about to come. Then, he turned around and walked towards his house with brisk steps, as if there was wind under his feet.

Along the way, Yi Zhonghai did not forget to continue to exchange a few words with the neighbors and inquire about the recent situation of each household. He stopped to talk to Aunt Li about her vegetable garden, and talked to Uncle Wang about his health preservation methods, and his concern was beyond words. Every time he arrived at a place, he felt like he was back home, so natural and so kind. The neighbors were also infected by his enthusiasm and gathered around to share the little things in their lives with him. Yi Zhonghai listened patiently, nodded and smiled from time to time, and gave his own suggestions and opinions.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai disappeared at the door of his house, leaving behind a group of people who were still discussing how to welcome the new water pump. They sat together and talked about it. Some said they would hold a celebration, some said they would thank Yi Zhonghai, and some said they would take this opportunity to improve the environment of the courtyard. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, as if they had seen the convenience and changes brought by the water pump.
