Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

After the luggage and gifts were properly placed, the conductor's voice sounded in the carriage, announcing that the train was about to depart.

After hearing the reminder, Andre took a breath and looked at the two people opposite him with some reluctance in his eyes.

"Hey, Alyosha, since the train is about to leave, I'll get off first.

He, when I have the chance to visit your capital again in the future, we can have a good reunion then."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu raised a smile without any objection and nodded without any hesitation.

"Sure! I will do my best to be a good host and treat you well then."

Although he knew that there was little chance of Andre coming back, no one knew what the future would be like.

Alyosha put down the empty teacup in his hand. He originally wanted to pour some water so that everyone could sit down and chat.

He stopped what he was doing involuntarily and turned to look at Andre with a teasing tone.

"Andrick, don't forget to bring those cakes with you on your vacation. Also, remember to say hello to Mary and Ava for me."

Andre glared and waved his hands impatiently: "How could I forget? I remember everything about Ava very clearly."

He Yuzhu has been busy at Andre's house these days, and the pastries are probably enough to give Ava cavities.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh, and echoed: "Andrick, thank Mary and Anna for me too."

As the conductor's voice sounded again, Andre knew that time was running out, and nodded hurriedly in agreement, without continuing to argue with the two men.

"Okay, I'll convey your thoughts to you. Goodbye, He! Have a safe journey!"

After saying that, he opened his arms and walked out of the car.

Andre then turned around, walked out of the box and headed outside the carriage.

He Yuzhu and Alyosha stood in front of the window, looked at Andrei on the platform, and waved goodbye.

The train started slowly, and with the sound of wheels rubbing against rails, it moved forward along the track, and the carriages swayed with the train.

There were only two of them in the box. The banquet was more successful than expected, so they were given a separate box.

He Yuzhu pushed open the door of the box, walked into the box, and went straight to the small table.

He bent down slightly, picked up the kettle, poured some boiling water into the cup on the table and washed it.

The service in the soft sleeper cabin is really thoughtful. The thermos bottles are equipped with boiled water in advance, so you don't have to fetch water yourself.

After putting the washed teacup back on the table, He Yuzhu turned around and prepared to take the tea leaves from his bag.

Alyosha was already sitting on the bunk opposite, his eyes fixed on He Yuzhu's movements, secretly looking forward to the top-quality tea in He Yuzhu's hand.

"He, the quality of your tea is really great. The tea in the special supply store is far inferior to the tea in your hand."

"Can you give me all the rest this time?" Alyosha finally couldn't hold back and asked, his tone full of desire.

He Yuzhu reached out and took the backpack. When he heard Alyosha's request, he replaced the small bag of tea in the bag with a large bag and then took it out.

He handed the tea bag directly to Alyosha and motioned him to take it.

"Alyosha, most of the tea I brought this time is here. Since you like it so much, why don't you take it directly?"

Seeing his action, Alyosha felt a little embarrassed and rubbed his hands unconsciously, but he still couldn't resist the temptation and reached out to take it.

He weighed it in his hand and estimated that it was at least one pound, which was quite a lot.

“He, this time I really took away your love.

I will pay the price of the best grade of tea in the special supply shop, even though it is far less than its real value."

The tea in He Yuzhu's hand was produced in this space. Even though it was not the legendary spiritual tea, its taste was indeed top-notch.

Listening to Alyosha's words, He Yuzhu did not feel surprised, because Anna had already returned He Yuzhu's gift.

Asking for tea this time is extra, and only when there is give and take can it be an equal relationship.

He Yuzhu waved his hand to refuse, with a somewhat carefree smile.

"Alyosha, what's the point of talking about money between us? This is a gift between friends. How about this? Just give me a pen."

After hearing He Yuzhu's proposal, Alyosha came to his senses and realized that the customs of the two countries were different and money was not a matter of concern.

He hurriedly explained: "He, you understand I have no other meaning..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by He Yuzhu.

"Alyosha, I understand. I don't mind. It's settled. You give me a pen and we'll exchange gifts."

Seeing this, Alyosha breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I'll get ready when we get to Magnitogorsk."

After saying this, he began to think about how to choose a good fountain pen.

Seeing Alyosha was about to unpack the tea, He Yuzhu took out a bag of loose tea from his bag and shook it gently.

"Alyosha, keep that for yourself! I have some loose ones here, enough for us to drink."

Alyosha already had a plan in mind. When he saw the tea in He Yuzhu's hand, he no longer refused and carefully put away the tea bag in his hand.

Boiling water poured into the teacup, the tea leaves danced in the water, and finally floated leisurely on the water surface. The tea fragrance rose and filled the entire box.

The two sat opposite each other, each holding a warm teacup in their hands, sipping the fragrant tea in silence.

Alyosha had drunk half of the tea. He narrowed his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and his face was filled with indescribable satisfaction.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at He Yuzhu opposite him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“He, every time I taste this tea, I feel my soul has gained unprecedented peace.

Whenever I encounter a difficult problem or feel upset, a cup of tea can make me completely relax.

So this time, I couldn’t help but want to take some more tea back.”

He Yuzhu placed the teacup on the small table and nodded, his eyes full of understanding.

"Alyosha, you don't have to explain so much. This tea is not precious to me, but I just can't carry too much.

It means nothing to our friendship."

Alyosha truly felt the sincerity in the words, smiled slightly, and decided not to continue this topic.

He changed the subject and started talking about the upcoming trip.

"He, this time when we arrive in Magnitogorsk, I plan to go to the steel plant first. I have arranged for someone to take you around the city.

Besides, I am planning to organize a small banquet, and I will need your help then."

They had planned this matter beforehand, and it also concerned whether they could successfully "visit" the steel plant, so He Yuzhu had no objection.

After hearing this, he agreed without hesitation: "Alyosha, you know my cooking skills well, just leave this to me."

Alyosha nodded with satisfaction and moved on to another topic.

"He, are you interested in the hunting that Andre mentioned before? I can arrange for someone to take you hunting."

Although Chen Xueru had repeatedly warned him not to go hunting before setting off, how could He Yuzhu easily refuse such temptation?

He finally got this opportunity, so how could he not enjoy it?

Then his eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "Alyosha, are there any bears? I am very interested in this."

Alyosha had seen He Yuzhu's skills, so he was not worried that he would encounter any accidents.

But this season is really not suitable for bear hunting. The bears have just survived a cold winter, and they are thin and hungry, and their fur is not as smooth as in autumn.

He shook his head helplessly, looking a little embarrassed: "He, I can help you arrange it, but you should know that now is not the best time."

He Yuzhu scratched his head in annoyance. He was so excited that he ignored this point.

Seeing him like this, Alyosha suggested, "He, if you need a bear skin, I can buy it for you."

I feel a sense of accomplishment only when I hunt by myself, and I am not very interested in buying ready-made clothes.

He Yuzhu was not interested anymore and shook his head to refuse: "Forget it, let's just hunt some prey to eat."
