Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 369 Falling Leaves

As the sun slowly sets in the west, a ray of sunset appears on the horizon. He Yupeng and other volunteers completed the task of sweeping fallen leaves, and the park regained its tranquility and tidiness. They smiled at each other, admiring this simple yet meaningful moment.

The old man walked up to He Yupeng, patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, opportunities lie in the subtleties of life. Don't always pursue prosperity and glitz. Sometimes, simple things can also bring you An unexpected surprise. Keep loving life and you will find that happiness comes unexpectedly."

He Yupeng stood on the path in the park, looking at the clean ground, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He found that he had a special liking for perfect fallen leaves, as if each leaf was a unique painting. He couldn't help but think of the mountains in his hometown when he was a child. Whenever autumn came, the colorful leaves were like the colors on the palette. Paint makes the entire valley picturesque.

During the exchange with volunteers, He Yupeng met a girl named Ivy, who was participating in such an activity for the first time today. Ivy is an energetic young man who sweeps fallen leaves with He Yupeng with a bright smile. The two soon entered into a relaxed and pleasant conversation.

"Look, how beautiful this golden leaf is! Each leaf has a unique shape and texture." He Yupeng said, squatting down and observing a leaf carefully.

Ivy responded with a smile: "Yeah, I never thought sweeping fallen leaves could be so fun before. I always thought this kind of thing was boring."

He Yupeng looked up at her, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Sometimes, we need to change our views on things. There are too many beautiful moments in life that we ignore."

Ivy nodded, then pointed to a tree in the distance and said, "You know? When I was a child, I loved playing in that forest with my dad. At that time, we would always pile up a pile of leaves and dance together. Get in."

He Yupeng smiled, feeling the warm memories in her words. Their conversation seemed to open a floodgate of memories, allowing them to understand each other better. He Yupeng began to realize that opportunities in life not only exist externally, but also in the interactions between people.

As the conversation deepened, He Yupeng gradually discovered that Ivy had some confusion and hesitation about the future hidden deep in her heart. She once had a loss experience, which made her full of troubles in life. He Yupeng cheered for her silently, hoping that she could find some new revelations in this event and regain her confidence in life.

In the process of sweeping fallen leaves, He Yupeng not only established a deep friendship with Ivy, but also met other volunteers. Everyone has different stories and experiences, but at this moment, they all come together to create beautiful memories together.

As night falls, the street lights in the park light up, illuminating the area where fallen leaves are being swept. He Yupeng and Ivy stood under the street lamp together, looking into the distance. The city seemed to become quiet and peaceful, as if everything became purer and calmer in this night.

Ivy suddenly thought of something. She smiled and said to He Yupeng: "We should collect these leaves that have been swept aside to prevent them from soiling the entire park again. Can you help me find a garbage bag?"

He Yupeng nodded and walked quickly to the edge of the park, looking for traces of garbage bags. In a corner, he found a bundle of garbage bags and took one back to Ivy. She took the trash bag and smiled gratefully.

"Thank you, He Yupeng. Let's work together to keep this park clean and tidy." Ivy said, she squatted down and began to carefully sweep the fallen leaves on the ground into the garbage bag.

He Yupeng also joined her, and the two of them cooperated tacitly, like a tacit dance, tidying up the fallen leaves on the ground in an orderly manner. This action seems to have become a tacit understanding, a tacit cooperation, and a deeper tacit understanding between them.

During this process, He Yupeng couldn't help but think about the mystery of life. Just like these fallen leaves, ordinary yet unique, each one has its own place. Perhaps, everyone has their own place in this world, they just need to find a lifestyle that suits them and discover that special sense of existence.

"You know, He Yupeng?" Ivy suddenly broke the silence. She raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination, "In this city, in this world, everyone has their own role. We may not be the protagonists, But we can make our lives more exciting through little things.”

He Yupeng nodded silently. He looked at the garbage bag in his hand with deep emotion, as if thinking about the meaning of Ivy's words. Their conversation was not only about the activity of sweeping fallen leaves, but also an exchange about life attitudes and outlook on life.

The garbage bags gradually became heavier, but Ivy's smile became brighter. This simple action became a tacit understanding between them and made them understand more clearly that every small contribution may change something. Even a fallen leaf has its value.

When they completed the final sweep, Ivy stood up, looked at the clean floor, and smiled with satisfaction. She suddenly said: "You know, He Yupeng, a clean ground is like a piece of pure land in life. Only if we take care of it with our heart will it emit beautiful light."

He Yupeng looked at this wise girl and couldn't help but have a new understanding of life. He never thought that sweeping fallen leaves would bring such spiritual enlightenment, allowing him to re-examine his situation and future.

"You are right, Ivy. Everyone has the responsibility to protect this pure land and make our lives better." He Yupeng responded with a smile, full of expectations for the future.

They sat on a bench, looking at the stars in the night sky, immersed in the peaceful atmosphere. Ivy suddenly spoke again: "Actually, I have been thinking about my future, but I always feel a little confused. Do you think there is a specific direction in life that is worth pursuing?"

He Yupeng thought for a moment, then looked at her affectionately: "Perhaps, life is not a predetermined road, but a vast wilderness. We can choose our own direction and chase our dreams. Sometimes, opportunities are just there At our feet, we just need to dare to take a step.”

Ivy nodded, as if thinking about He Yupeng's words. Her eyes revealed a kind of determination, as if she had found some answers at this moment. The two fell into silence for a while, and this night seemed to be the intersection of their spiritual communication.

After a while, He Yupeng broke the silence and said softly: "Perhaps, each of us is a leaf in this city, falling on our own trajectory. But as long as we treat life with heart and treat every moment as With the opportunity, we can leave our own unique mark on this urban land.”

Ivy smiled, with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, He Yupeng. Today's experience has given me some new insights, and also made me more convinced that the beauty of life lies in pursuit and exploration."

As the night fell, He Yupeng and Ivy decided to get up and leave the park. They talked and laughed along the way, as if this brief encounter was like a wonderful adventure. He Yupeng couldn't help but ask: "What do you think this city is like?"

Ivy narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then replied: "This city is like a storybook, and every page is filled with all kinds of wonderful stories. And each of us is a part of this city's story. , intertwined with each other.”

He Yupeng smiled and nodded, deeply sympathetic to Ivy's metaphor. He suddenly thought of a question: "What do you think is the most important thing in life?"

After Ivy thought for a moment, she said softly: "Perhaps it is truth and the courage to pursue what one desires. Whether it is happiness or challenge, as long as it is real, it is worth experiencing in life."

He Yupeng felt a resonance. It seemed that in this brief encounter, they discovered something in common with each other. As they walked through the streets, their hearts filled with expectations for the future and love for life.

Suddenly, a street performer played a melodious melody on the roadside. He Yupeng and Ivy stopped, attracted by the music. They stood there, lost in the melody, as if it was a solo just for them.

Ivy looked into the distance with deep affection in her eyes. She told He Yupeng: "Perhaps, life is a melody, each of us is a note in the melody, and this city is the stage where we perform."

He Yupeng smiled and responded deeply: "Yes, everyone has their own melody. We need to feel and perform it with our hearts. This city is the stage for our struggle and pursuit."

While He Yupeng and Ivy were immersed in the music of the street performers, a little black dog suddenly rushed over from not far away. It waggled its tail excitedly and eagerly rushed towards the garbage bag in He Yupeng's hand.

He Yupeng hurriedly got out of the way, but unexpectedly, the little black dog bit the garbage bag while playing and began to shake it vigorously. Ivy looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing: "It seems like it also wants to help clean up the garbage!"

He Yupeng also smiled. He looked down at the naughty puppy and felt a sense of warmth in his heart. He squatted down and tried to retrieve the garbage bag, but the little black dog refused to let go and continued to play.

"Hey, little guy, you are so interesting." He Yupeng playfully played with the puppy, feeling a joy that was completely different from his daily life.

Ivy also joined in the sudden joy. She took out her phone and started taking pictures of this interesting moment. The two people and the little black dog together formed a lively and interesting picture.
