Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

The next morning, when a faint, fish-belly-like white just appeared on the eastern horizon, the whole world seemed to be immersed in tranquility and peace. At this time, the first ray of golden sunlight, like a gentle and delicate hand, gently and slowly penetrated the thin fog that shrouded the city. It was neither anxious nor impatient, and in an almost sacred manner, it gently fell on the ancient and elegant courtyard, especially the roof covered with green tiles. These green tiles, under the reflection of the sun, seemed to be given new life, shining and gleaming with a warm luster, like pieces of jade carefully carved and inlaid on the roof, simple and elegant, full of traces and stories of time.

He Yuzhu, a resident of the courtyard, opened his eyes on time as usual in the warm and gentle morning light. But unlike in the past, his face did not have the usual heaviness and confusion, as if all his worries and sorrows were swept away by the morning sun overnight. On the contrary, his eyes were flashing with an unprecedented bright light, a light full of hope and longing, like the brightest stars in the night sky, dazzling and impossible to ignore. This light not only contained an eager desire for a new life, but also was full of expectations for the future, as if he had seen himself on the road to the future, moving forward step by step and constantly surpassing himself.

He gently and slowly lifted the quilt, and every movement seemed so cautious, for fear of disturbing the family members who were still sleeping in a sweet dream. Then, like a light cat, he tiptoed out of bed and finished washing quietly. After everything was ready, he did not make a sound, as if even the air was still for him, and quietly opened the door and walked out of this home full of warmth and memories.

The streets are already bustling with activity. Early risers, some carrying bags on their shoulders or walking in a hurry, are busy with their daily lives, their faces filled with passion and tenacity for life. The street vendors are shouting their wares, the sound is full of the atmosphere of life; and the bicycles passing by, the crisp bells interweaving together, like a beautiful morning symphony, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this busy morning.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath of the fresh and pleasant air in the morning. The air was filled with the faint scent of flowers and grass, as if the essence of nature was condensed in this moment. He closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sounds around him. Whether it was the footsteps of pedestrians, the hawkers' cries, or the ringing of bicycles, they all seemed so harmonious and beautiful. He felt this rare tranquility and vigorous vitality with his heart, and a deep sense of gratitude surged in his heart. He thanked God for giving him such a beautiful day, giving him the opportunity to embrace life, pursue his dreams, and create his own wonderful life.

Today is a day of great significance for He Yuzhu, because he has a special plan in mind - that is to go to the picturesque park nearby for a long-lost morning run. This seemingly simple and ordinary decision actually contains many expectations and desires from the bottom of his heart. Since many years ago, due to various reasons, he gradually gave up the good habit that had benefited him a lot and persisted for a long time. Now, he decided to regain this persistence, not only to strengthen his body, but also to bring a profound and thorough baptism to his soul, so that he can completely get rid of the haze and troubles that have been following him in the past, and greet the new dawn that will soon belong to him with a more courageous and fearless attitude, and embrace a brighter and more brilliant future.

In this quiet and peaceful park, everything seems so vibrant, full of natural charm and poetry. The lush trees, like huge green canopies, support a cool and quiet space for this world. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, like fragments of time, jumping and flickering on the ground, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this quiet morning. The birds sing happily on the branches, their songs are either crisp and pleasant, or melodious and graceful, as if they are playing an unparalleled concert for this beautiful morning, making people feel relaxed and intoxicated. And those flowers that bloom in competition, with their colorful postures, exude bursts of charming fragrance, like the fragrance of nature, making people intoxicated and forgetting the troubles of the world.

He Yuzhu walked slowly along the winding, cobblestone path with vigorous and powerful steps. His steps were light and steady, and each step seemed to be in the rhythm of time, blending with the surrounding beauty to weave a moving picture. Sweat gradually soaked his clothes, and his forehead and cheeks were covered with crystal clear sweat beads, but this did not affect his mood at all. On the contrary, his face was always filled with a relaxed and happy smile, which was a kind of happiness and satisfaction radiating from the inside out, as if at this moment, he had found his own rhythm and strength, and was running hard towards a better future.

At this moment, he seemed to be having a soul-deep conversation with himself. With every deep breath, he silently told himself: "I can do it! No matter what difficulties and obstacles I encounter, I have enough strength to overcome them!" This belief was like a burning flame, blazing in his heart, giving him endless motivation.

After running the planned distance, He Yuzhu slowly slowed down his pace and sat down on a bench in the park. He raised his head slightly and stared at the sun that had just risen in the distance. The golden sunlight spread all over the earth, dyeing the whole world golden. Looking at this beautiful scene, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Recalling the conversation with Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui last night, those words full of care and encouragement were like a warm current, gently flowing into his heart, nourishing his once tired and confused mind. It was these heartwarming words that made him regain his confidence and courage, and strengthened his determination to move forward.

The morning sun shone through the window into the house, illuminating He Yuzhu's slightly tired but expectant face. He stretched himself, then walked briskly into the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast for the family.

There were all kinds of fresh ingredients in the kitchen, and He Yuzhu picked them carefully, as if they were precious treasures. He picked up a bright red tomato, gently stroked its smooth surface, and nodded with satisfaction; then he picked out a handful of green vegetables from the basket and washed them clean under the tap.

After everything was ready, He Yuzhu put on an apron and skillfully turned on the stove. The blue flame jumped happily. He first poured some oil into the pot, and when the oil temperature rose, he added the chopped onion, ginger and garlic to stir-fry. With a "sizzling" sound, the aroma instantly spread. Then, he poured eggs, tomatoes and other ingredients into the pot in turn, stir-fried them quickly for a few times, added appropriate amounts of salt and seasonings, and soon, a plate of tomato scrambled eggs with good color, aroma and taste was out of the pot.

Then, He Yuzhu started to prepare other dishes without stopping: golden and crispy fried eggs, fragrant millet porridge... Each dish was prepared by him with care, and contained his deep love and care for his family.

At this moment, sister Yu Shui came in, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Seeing the table full of sumptuous breakfast, a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face. The brother and sister sat around the table, enjoying the delicious food and chatting happily.

He Yuzhu enthusiastically told Yushui about his plans and visions for the future. He said he wanted to work hard, strive for a promotion and a raise, and improve his family's living conditions. He also wanted to learn more cooking skills and open a small restaurant of his own in the future. Yushui listened to her brother's words quietly, with a look of relief and encouragement in her eyes. She believed that with her brother's diligence and talent, he would be able to realize all his dreams.

After a warm breakfast, He Yuzhu stood up and straightened his clothes. He changed into his neat and clean work clothes, and looked particularly energetic. Before leaving, he looked back at Yu Shui who was cleaning up the dishes, smiled and said, "I'm going to work!" Then he strode towards the cafeteria.

After arriving at the cafeteria, He Yuzhu quickly entered the working state. Today, he seemed to be more focused and devoted than ever before. He skillfully cut vegetables, prepared side dishes, and cooked vegetables. Not only that, he also took the initiative to help colleagues who encountered difficulties and patiently taught them some cooking skills and experience. Everyone praised He Yuzhu's performance and gave him a thumbs up to praise his warm heart.

Before he knew it, it was lunch time. When the steaming hot dishes were served on the table, the whole canteen suddenly became very lively. The workers smelled the tempting aroma and rushed to the dining table. Looking at everyone wolfing down the food, He Yuzhu stood aside with a faint smile on his face. Facing the praise from everyone, he just waved his hand modestly, saying that this was what he should do. However, at this moment, only he knew in his heart that the reason for such a big change was all because of the meaningful party last night and his renewed passion and confidence in life.

After get off work, the sun gradually set, and the afterglow dyed the entire street golden. He Yuzhu did not rush home as usual. He carried an exquisite lunch box in his hand and walked briskly towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

Arriving at Yi Zhonghai's door, he knocked gently. After a while, the door opened and Yi Zhonghai's amiable face appeared before him. Seeing the food box in He Yuzhu's hand, Yi Zhonghai smiled with surprise and quickly welcomed him into the house.

The two of them walked to the small table in the yard and sat down. Tea sets and steaming tea were already on the table. He Yuzhu carefully opened the lunch box, which contained a plate of snacks that he had cooked himself. The snacks were beautifully shaped and fragrant.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the plate of snacks with admiration in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, you are really thoughtful!" He Yuzhu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Uncle, these snacks are a little gift from me. Thank you for your care and concern for me all the time." As he said that, he poured Yi Zhonghai a cup of hot tea.

The two of them enjoyed the delicious snacks, drank tea and chatted leisurely. He Yuzhu said with great emotion: "Uncle, thank you so much. If you hadn't always enlightened and encouraged me, I don't know how I would have survived those difficult days. It was you who made me understand that no matter how hard and tiring life is, as long as there is sunshine in my heart, I will always see hope."

Yi Zhonghai smiled kindly, patted He Yuzhu's shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Zhuzi, how can everything go smoothly in life? There will always be twists and turns and difficulties of one kind or another. But as long as we face them bravely, maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, and constantly adjust ourselves, there will be no obstacles that we can't overcome. Look at you, haven't you survived this period of time? And you are getting better and better! So, have confidence in yourself, keep working hard and moving forward, I firmly believe that your future will be even better!"

He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart after hearing these words, and nodded heavily, indicating that he would not disappoint Yi Zhonghai's expectations. At this moment, the last rays of the setting sun sprinkled on them, as if coating this moment with a layer of golden glory.

Night fell quietly, like a huge and mysterious black curtain covering the earth. He Yuzhu slowly waved goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and then set out on the road home alone.

The night sky is deep and far away, and the stars are inlaid in it like bright gems, still shining with a weak but firm light. However, this time when He Yuzhu looked up at the starry sky, his heart was no longer occupied by loneliness and confusion. Because at this moment, he knew that although the road ahead was long and unknown, as long as he held love and hope, he would have enough courage to move forward unswervingly.

When he finally returned to his warm home and lay exhausted on the familiar bed, his mind began to replay every bit of his experience today like a movie. Those moments of laughter, touching moments, and frustration flashed by one by one, gradually filling his heart with satisfaction and happiness.

Finally, He Yuzhu gently closed his eyes and silently made a beautiful wish in his heart: "I hope I can always cherish every minute and every second in front of me, and use love and hope as a torch to illuminate the long journey to the future. In this way, my life will surely bloom with more colorful light and become more beautiful and fulfilling."

From that day on, He Yuzhu's life changed dramatically. He became more positive and loved life more. At work, he worked hard to improve himself; in life, he cared about his family and was willing to help others. His change not only made his life more fulfilling and happy, but also affected the people around him, making the whole courtyard full of more warmth and hope.
