Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 453 Silver Glory

On a quiet night, He Yudong picked up a shovel and came to his yard. The moonlight shone on his tall figure, reflecting a faint silver glow. Full of determination and courage, he decided to start a new project.

He Yudong bent down and waved the shovel, and began to dig a hole in the yard. The soil was turned over by shovels, making a crisp sound. His movements were methodical, each one full of strength and determination.

"What are you doing?" A clear voice suddenly sounded.

He Yudong raised his head and found his wife Qin Huairu standing at the door of the yard, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her eyes.

"I want to dig a hole in the ground." He Yudong's voice was firm and powerful.

"Dig a hole in the ground? Why?" Qin Huairu asked in confusion.

He Yudong stopped the shovel in his hand, looked at his wife, and explained with a smile: "I want to build a basement that can be used as a storage room and private lounge for our home."

Qin Huairu frowned slightly after hearing this and said worriedly: "But isn't it dangerous to dig a hole like this?"

He Yudong smiled and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I will be careful and there won't be any problems."

So, He Yudong started swinging the shovel again and continued his work. The soil was dug up with a spade, and gradually, a hole was exposed on the ground. As time went by, the hole became deeper and deeper, and He Yudong's figure kept busy under the moonlight.

"Let me help you." Qin Huairu walked to He Yudong and picked up another shovel.

He Yudong felt a little warm and moved. He knew that his wife's worry was out of her love and concern for him. So, they worked hard together and cooperated tacitly, and excavated one piece of soil after another.

As time passed, the hole gradually became deeper and deeper, the smell of soil filled the air, and the outline of the hole gradually became clear. The fruits of He Yudong and Qin Huairu's labor gradually appeared, and their hearts were filled with satisfaction and pride.

Finally, on a moonlit night, He Yudong and Qin Huairu dug a spacious and deep cave. They stood together by the hole in the ground, looking at the fruits of their labor, and their hearts were filled with joy and satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work." He Yudong turned his head and said to his wife with a smile.

Qin Huairu also smiled, her heart full of gratitude and happiness. “This is the result of our hard work together.”

He Yudong nodded, his heart full of expectations and hopes for the future. He knew that with this basement, life at home would become more convenient.

On a cold winter night, He Yudong returned home. When he opened the door and prepared to enter the warm room, a pungent smell hit his nostrils.

"Ah, why does it smell so bad?" He Yudong frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

He followed the smell to the kitchen and suddenly saw a fat mouse rummaging for food in the corner of the kitchen.

"Oh, it's a mouse!" He Yudong said in surprise, his eyes widening.

"What? Rat!" Qin Huairu ran over in surprise and was shocked when she saw the scene in the kitchen.

Rats were scurrying around under their noses, tearing the food into crumbs and leaving the whole kitchen in a mess.

"We have to find a way to get rid of this mouse!" He Yudong said anxiously.

Qin Huairu clenched her fists and made up her mind: "Yes, we can't let this mouse do mischief at home!"

So, they started taking action. He Yudong picked up the mousetrap, while Qin Huairu held a broom, preparing to drive the mice out of the kitchen.

They quietly approached the mouse, ready to take action. But the mouse seemed to sense the danger, jumped up suddenly, and ran away towards the door.

"Quick! Don't let it run away!" He Yudong shouted, and they quickly chased the mouse.

The mouse nimbly passed through the crack in the door and ran into the corner of the yard. He Yudong and Qin Huairu followed closely, not daring to let down their guard.

Finally, chased by them, the mouse ran into the grass in the yard and disappeared without a trace.

He Yudong and Qin Huairu gasped and stood in the yard, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky. They felt a sense of relief and finally drove the mouse away.

"Finally drove it away." He Yudong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin Huairu with a smile.

Qin Huairu also smiled, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment: "Yes, I finally don't have to worry about mice coming to cause trouble again."

So, they returned home together and started cleaning the kitchen and restoring everything to its original state. Despite experiencing a small rat infestation, their unity and courage

On a sunny weekend, He Yudong strolled down the street, enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon. He inadvertently walked into an antique store filled with various antiques and works of art.

He Yudong browsed each exhibit curiously, and suddenly his attention was attracted by a piece of blue and white porcelain.

"Wow, this blue and white porcelain is so beautiful!" He Yudong exclaimed.

"Sir, do you like this piece of porcelain?" The shop owner came over enthusiastically.

"Yes, I like it very much." He Yudong nodded.

"This porcelain is from the Tang Dynasty and is very precious. If you are interested, I can give you a preferential price." The shop owner said with a smile.

He Yudong thought for a moment and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't have much research on ancient porcelain. I want to see other things."

He continued to wander around the store until he saw a small jade item placed in the window. This piece of jade is exquisite in shape, meticulous in carving, and exudes a simple atmosphere.

"This jade looks good." He Yudong was interested.

“This is a piece of Hetian jade with fine texture and extraordinary value,” the shop owner explained.

He Yudong picked up the jade and looked at it carefully, feeling the texture and luster of the jade surface.

"This is a good piece of jade." He Yudong made a decision silently in his heart.

"I want to buy this piece of Hetian jade." He decided to place the order.

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Okay, sir, please come with me to settle the bill."

He Yudong bought this piece of Hetian jade and left the antique store happily. He held the jade in his arms, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction, and he looked forward to sharing this joy with his family when he returned home.

Back home, He Yudong took out the Hetian jade he just bought and showed it to Qin Huairu.

"Look, I bought this piece of Hetian jade in the antique shop today." He Yudong said excitedly.

Qin Huairu picked up the jade article curiously, observed it carefully, and showed a satisfied smile: "It's really a good jade article."

"Yeah, I think it's very beautiful." He Yudong said with a smile.

They admired this piece of Hetian jade together and felt the mysterious atmosphere it exuded. For a moment, they forgot all their worries and were only immersed in the praise of art.

In He Yudong's small workshop, he was busy operating the machine while anxiously staring at the income and expenditure form on the table. Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and frowned.

"This is wrong, how could it be possible to lose so much?" He Yudong muttered to himself in a low voice, frowning.

Qin Huairu walked over from the side. Seeing her husband's anxious expression, she asked curiously: "Dear, what's wrong? What happened?"

He Yudong raised his head, handed the form in his hand to Qin Huairu, and said with a worried look: "Look, this income and expenditure statement shows that there seems to be a problem with our business and we have suffered a lot of losses."

Qin Huairu took the form and read it carefully, her brows furrowed. "There's definitely something wrong, we're spending significantly more than we're taking in."

He Yudong sighed and shook his head: "I checked before and there has been no big change in production costs. Is it because competition in the market has intensified?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and suggested: "Maybe we need to re-examine our business model and business strategy, or find new sales channels."

He Yudong nodded and agreed: "Yes, we can't just wait and deal with it, we must actively deal with it."

The two began to discuss plans on how to improve the business situation. They continued to put forward various ideas and suggestions in an attempt to find a solution to the problem. They decided to take a series of measures, including reducing production costs, improving product quality, developing new sales channels, etc.

After some discussion, they formulated a detailed improvement plan and decided to take action immediately. Despite the difficulties and challenges they face, both He Yudong and Qin Huairu are full of confidence and courage. They firmly believe that as long as they work unremittingly, they will be able to overcome the current difficulties and revive their business.

In the days that followed, they went all out to implement the improvement plan, constantly adjusted and optimized business strategies, and worked hard to improve the profitability of the business. Although the journey is difficult, they always maintain confidence and hope for the future, believing that their efforts will eventually be rewarded.

As time went by, He Yudong and Qin Huairu's business gradually got on the right track, their income gradually recovered, and they also learned many valuable experiences and lessons. Their unity, cooperation and indomitable spirit became their greatest motivation to overcome difficulties, and also made them cherish them even more.

He Yudong angrily walked into a store in the city center. His face was filled with anger and his brows were furrowed. He was obviously in a very bad mood.

In the store, there are a wide variety of products, and the clerks are busy serving customers. He Yudong walked straight to the counter and stared at the boss behind the counter.

"Are you the boss?" He Yudong's voice was filled with anger, and his tone revealed strong dissatisfaction.

While the boss was busy organizing the shelves, he turned around and saw the angry He Yudong. He was slightly startled and asked inexplicably: "Sir, do you need anything?"

He Yudong ignored the boss's question and continued to say sharply: "How do you run this store? The quality of the products I bought last time was so bad, it was a lie!"
