Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

After drinking, Yi Zhonghai's movements seemed particularly delicate and full of warmth. He first gently raised his hand, as if afraid of disturbing something, and then slowly and almost cautiously placed his hand on He Yuzhu's broad back. The moment it fell, it was gentle and soft, like a warm breeze that gently brushed across the tranquil lake, bringing up circles of delicate ripples, but without causing a single wave. He slightly increased his strength and patted He Yuzhu's back. The action was both encouraging and comforting. Then, in a tone so gentle that it could melt people's hearts, he gently gestured for He Yuzhu to sit down, as if to tell him that this was a harbor where he could rest in peace.

With this clap and gesture, the atmosphere between the two people, which was originally a little heavy due to the past, suddenly became relaxed and harmonious, as if being gently touched by an invisible force. It was as if the glass of wine they just drank together really contained some magical power, which not only moistened the dry heart, but also dispelled the haze and unhappiness accumulated in the past, bit by bit, leaving only a clear and bright vision and yearning for the infinite beauty of the future, just like the rising sun illuminating the way forward.

"Zhu Zi," Yi Zhonghai's voice was low and full of affection. He looked at He Yuzhu seriously. His eyes seemed to contain thousands of words. Every look was full of deep expectations and care for He Yuzhu, just like the warm sunshine in spring, penetrating the clouds and sprinkling in the heart, bringing endless comfort and strength. "I know that your heart has been very bitter and heavy these days. But life is a journey full of variables, ups and downs, bitterness and sweetness, laughter and tears. This is its true appearance. We can't be tightly bound by the pain of the past, which will only make us walk with difficulty and unable to move forward. Only by learning to let go of those heavy burdens can we take lighter steps to meet every challenge and opportunity in life."

He Yuzhu listened silently without responding immediately. His eyes flashed with complex emotions, as if he was having a deep inner dialogue. He lowered his head slightly, and his hands unconsciously folded together, as if he was thinking about something crucial. After a long while, he nodded slowly and firmly. Although the movement was small, it revealed his inner decision and relief, as if telling Yi Zhonghai that he had understood the deep meaning of the words and was ready to welcome a new beginning.

Indeed, the pains of the past, like a brand, were deeply engraved in his heart. Every time he recalled it, it was like peeling off a scab, painful and clear. However, after going through so much, He Yuzhu gradually realized that in order to make his future life smoother, for the sake of those relatives and friends who always cared about him and worried about him, he must bravely take this step - learn to let go, learn to let go, let the unhappiness of the past become the past, and no longer become a hindrance to moving forward.

"Uncle, thank you so much for guiding me so patiently." He Yuzhu's voice was a little choked, but more of it was firmness and gratitude. "Don't worry, I know what I should do next. From now on, I will treat every day as a new beginning, work harder, take good care of myself, and no longer let the shadows of the past hang over me. I want to fill my life with sunshine, and let everyone see that I am no longer the muddle-headed He Yuzhu who needed others to worry about me."

Listening to He Yuzhu speaking at this time, although his voice still sounded a little hoarse, it had regained the unwavering sense of strength of the past.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face, which had experienced many years of vicissitudes, slowly bloomed into a smile of great relief. He knew very well that the young man in front of him, He Yuzhu, had an indomitable mind, just like the pine and cypress standing proudly on the top of the mountain. No matter how fierce the wind and rain were, it would be difficult to shake it. As long as he was given some time and enough support and encouragement, he would surely be able to regroup and make a comeback in time!

Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly, looking at He Yuzhu with gentle and firm eyes, and said slowly: "That's great, Zhuzi! We all trust you from the bottom of our hearts, and we firmly believe that you can achieve something extraordinary!" After that, he reached out again and gently picked up the slightly old wine bottle on the table, which still exuded a faint aroma of wine, and carefully filled He Yuzhu and the glass in front of him with wine one by one.

However, this time, the two did not clink their glasses together as usual, but chose to remain silent. They just quietly picked up their glasses, took a sip of the fine wine in the glasses, and then fell into their own thoughts. At this moment, the entire cafeteria seemed to be shrouded in a layer of silence. Except for the occasional slight chewing sound, there was almost no other sound. The rest of the people also knew what to do and did not disturb this rare quiet moment. They just stared at this place from afar, and their hearts could not help but be deeply moved by the deep and sincere friendship between the two and their indomitable spirit.

After an unknown amount of time, Yi Zhonghai finally put down his wine glass, raised his head, looked at He Yuzhu opposite with concern, and said softly: "Zhuzi, I heard recently that you have performed very well in your work recently. This is a great joy! However, everything needs to be done in moderation. Don't just work hard and neglect your rest and recuperation. After all, as the saying goes, 'Health is the capital of revolution', so don't take it lightly!"

He Yuzhu nodded vigorously at Yi Zhonghai with gratitude. He knew very well that Yi Zhonghai did this out of genuine concern for him. Since coming to the canteen, a place like a big family, he has experienced a kind of warmth and care that he has never experienced before. This warmth is like the warm sun in winter, shining directly into his heart, making him feel happy and satisfied.

Because of this, He Yuzhu's desire to work hard and repay everyone's deep friendship became stronger and stronger. He secretly vowed to prove his worth with practical actions and live up to everyone's expectations of him.

At noon that day, He Yuzhu showed off his extraordinary cooking skills. One dish after another was served on the table, attracting praises from the workers of the steel mill. They ate with their mouths full of oil and their faces rosy. Seeing everyone's satisfied look, He Yuzhu was also filled with joy. The sense of accomplishment was simply indescribable.

Time passed quickly, and it was time to get off work. Yi Zhonghai found He Yuzhu as promised, and the two walked side by side and set out on the road back to the courtyard together. Along the way, they talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

"Zhu Zi, Yu Shui has gone to school, right? I brought some fresh ingredients here today. You can take them back and show off your cooking skills. We'll have a good drink together tonight!" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, his eyes full of kindness.

However, at this moment, there was a "creak" sound, and Yan Bugui pushed the door open and walked in. His face was filled with apology and deep concern, and he kept muttering: "Oh, look, I came at a really good time, I hope I didn't disturb you two?" As he spoke, he quickly walked up to the two of them, and when his eyes fell on He Yuzhu, he showed deep sympathy.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head slowly with a smile on his face, and said in a gentle tone: "Old Yan, you came at the right time! We were just chatting here, and Zhuzi just vowed that he would devote himself to his work wholeheartedly in the future and would never let everyone down in him!"

After hearing this, Yan Bugui hurriedly walked to He Yuzhu's side, gently stretched out his hand, gently patted He Yuzhu's broad and strong shoulders, and said with concern: "Zhuzi, I have also heard about those things about you. After hearing it, my heart was so upset! We are old neighbors who have lived together for many years. How big can the difficulties be that we can't overcome? As long as there is a need, everyone will definitely work together to help you carry this burden together! So, you must not keep these things in your heart and worry about them all day long. After all, the future is still a long way to go!"

He Yuzhu looked up at the voice and looked straight at Yan Bugui's weathered face. His eyes, which were bright and lively, were now slightly red, obviously because he was a little excited. However, at this moment, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, outlining a faint smile, and he responded in a slightly hoarse voice: "Uncle Yan, thank you and all the neighbors for your concern and care. With you always by my side supporting and encouraging me, I really feel that my heart has become more stable. Don't worry, I will definitely keep it in mind. No matter how difficult and hard the situation is in the future, I know clearly that this is not just a problem that I have to face alone."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the scene in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a kind smile, and then slowly suggested: "Okay, everyone, look, today is a sunny and beautiful day! Let's not dwell on those annoying things. Zhuzi, and Lao Yan, the three of us are busy on weekdays, and it's rare to get together like this! Otherwise, take advantage of this beautiful scene and let's go all out and have a good drink tonight! Let all the troubles be thrown into the sky and disappear without a trace!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, his eyes, which were originally small, instantly lit up like two twinkling stars. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Oh, this is a really great idea! Wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and get some delicious side dishes. I guarantee that we can enjoy our meal and drink tonight! We won't leave until we are drunk, hahahahaha..." As he said this, he stood up impatiently and walked towards the kitchen with brisk steps.

Not long after, Yan Bugui came running back to the table, holding several plates of steaming, fragrant side dishes steadily in his hands. The side dishes were brightly colored, with red peppers, green cucumbers, and yellow bean sprouts, and the combination was extremely tempting, making people salivate just by looking at them.

The three of them sat around the slightly old but warm little square table, and the distance between them was shortened. The wine glasses on the table were already filled with mellow and fragrant wine, which shone charmingly under the light.

While enjoying the satisfaction brought by the food, they chatted about all sorts of things. The topic started with the bits and pieces of work, talked about various interesting stories between neighbors, and extended to the vision and plan for a better life in the future. Everyone spoke freely and shared the most real thoughts and feelings in their hearts.

At this moment, the night sky is dotted with stars, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort. The house is filled with laughter and a warm atmosphere envelopes every corner. It seems that all the sorrows and troubles gradually dissipate into the invisible at this moment, leaving only their deep love for life and full expectations for a better future.

In this warm and cheerful atmosphere, He Yuzhu gradually immersed himself in it, and the long-lost relaxation and happiness surged into his heart like a tide, surrounding him tightly. At this moment, he deeply realized that no matter how life challenges him, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles it brings him, as long as there is such a group of sincere friends and caring family around him, then he has the strong power to face all difficulties.

It was late at night, and everything was silent. Only the twinkling stars in the sky were still silently watching the earth. Although the three of them seemed reluctant to leave, they had to say goodbye to each other in the end. He Yuzhu slowly set foot on the road home alone, and every step seemed to be on soft clouds, light and fluttering. At this moment, his heart was filled with gratitude, and at the same time, he also surged with an unprecedented firm determination.

He knew very well that today would soon pass, and tomorrow would be a brand new day. He would carry the warmth and strength he had gained tonight, and move forward fearlessly to bravely embrace the beautiful future that belonged to him. The moonlight fell on him like water, casting a long shadow, as if silently blessing him.
