Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Well, these kitchen utensils look pretty good." He Yudong said to himself.

He knelt down and inspected them carefully. He found that although these kitchen utensils were a little old, they were still usable. An impulse surged in his heart, and he decided to pick up these utensils and take them home.

Back in his room, He Yudong arranged the kitchen utensils neatly, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and joy in his heart. These may be things that others think are useless, but to him, they are a small fortune.

After a while, the neighbors came to visit He Yudong one after another. When they saw the kitchen utensils he had picked up, they expressed surprise and appreciation.

"He Yudong, you picked up so many kitchen utensils? It's really amazing!" Yi Zhonghai said in surprise.

"Yes, they all look pretty good. You are such a lucky man." Liu Haizhong sighed.

"Thank you. I also feel very lucky to have picked up so many useful things." He Yudong said with a smile, feeling very happy with the neighbors' appreciation.

"He Yudong, these kitchen utensils are really a treasure for you!" Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Yes, with these things, it will be more convenient for you to cook in the future." Yan Bugui agreed.

"Well, I will make good use of these kitchen utensils and make them play their best role." He Yudong said solemnly.

With the appreciation and encouragement from his neighbors, He Yudong felt a sense of warmth and satisfaction, and felt that his efforts had been recognized and supported. These simple kitchen utensils may not be eye-catching to others, but to him, they are a precious treasure, representing the beauty and hope of life.

However, at this joyful moment, a heavy breath suddenly enveloped the courtyard, making people feel worried. Stay tuned, the story will continue to develop in the next chapter...

He Yudong's water cup was lost and Qin Huairu picked it up.

One sunny afternoon, He Yudong was busy in his room, preparing to go out to do some errands. While he was packing his things and thinking about today's plans, he suddenly found that his water glass was missing.

"Strange, my water glass is obviously placed here." He Yudong frowned.

He searched everywhere, but couldn't find any trace of the water glass. He felt a little uneasy. After all, he liked this water glass very much and it was a gift from a friend.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. He Yudong opened the door and found Qin Huairu standing at the door, holding his water glass in his hand.

"Hey, He Yudong, did you drop your water glass downstairs in my house?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile.

"Ah, really? I was looking for it. Thank you for picking it up." He Yudong took the water glass gratefully and felt relieved in his heart.

"It's okay, I happened to be sweeping the floor downstairs and saw a water glass on the ground, so I thought it might be yours." Qin Huairu said, "You have to be careful and don't drop it again."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention." He Yudong said with a smile, feeling very warm about Qin Huairu's concern.

Qin Huairu looked at He Yudong's smile and felt warm in her heart. After all, the care and help from neighbors make life more beautiful and warm.

"He Yudong, if you need help again, you can come to me at any time." Qin Huairu said friendly.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Qin." He Yudong said gratefully, feeling extremely happy and satisfied with the neighbor's care.

The two smiled at each other, as if at this moment, they were closer to each other, and their lives became more beautiful and happier.

"He Yudong, come and help, move the table to the yard!" He Yudong's mother poked her head out of the kitchen, her voice a little anxious. Today is a special day. He Yudong's parents decided to give him a second brother. They prepared some meals at home and invited the neighbors to celebrate together.

He Yudong responded blankly, but felt a little reluctant in his heart. He already felt inexplicable pressure and discomfort with the sudden addition of a younger brother, not to mention having to face the criticism of his neighbors. However, he had no way to resist what was arranged by the elders in the family and could only do it.

After a while, several tables were set up in the yard, and neighbors came one after another. Qin Huairu was the first to arrive, with a smile on her face and a steaming plate of braised pork in her hand. "Mom He Yudong, this is the braised pork I made by myself. Today is a good day, let's have a good time together."

He Yudong's mother quickly took the braised pork and said gratefully: "Oh, Huai Ru, thank you so much. You see, our family is so busy today and we have to trouble you."

"What's the trouble? We're all neighbors, that's right." Qin Huairu smiled even brighter, "By the way, where's Brother He Yudong?"

"Still in the house, I'll be out in a moment." He Yudong's mother explained.

As the neighbors arrived one after another, the yard gradually became lively. Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong and others are also here. They are all old residents of this courtyard and are already very familiar with each other. Everyone sat together and started chatting.

"Brother He Yudong, you suddenly have a second brother, what a joy!" Yan Bugui said with a smile, "Look at our courtyard, it has not been so lively in many years."

"Yes, yes!" Liu Haizhong also echoed, "I remember you were a naughty kid in the yard. I didn't expect you have grown so big now. Time flies so fast."

He Yudong forced a smile, but felt a little irritable in his heart. He originally thought that today was just an ordinary day, but he didn't expect that it would become so lively, and everyone was talking about his second brother, which made him a little at a loss.

At this time, He Yudong's father came out of the house with a baby in his arms, his face full of love and pride. The baby was still swaddled, with his eyes wide open and curiously looking at everything around him. Neighbors immediately gathered around and praised the baby's cuteness and health.

"Oh, this child is so fat and fat, he looks so good!" Jia Zhang couldn't help but said, "Brother He Yudong, you are so lucky!"

"Yes, this child looks blessed at first glance." Yi Zhonghai also nodded in praise.

He Yudong stood aside, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He knew that his parents had high hopes for this suddenly extra brother, and he himself seemed to have become a bit redundant. This feeling made him feel extremely lonely and helpless.

"He Yudong, come here." He Yudong's father suddenly said to him.

He Yudong walked over, and his father patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "He Yudong, this is your second brother. From today on, you are his elder brother. You have to take good care of him, do you understand?"

He Yudong nodded and forced a smile: "I understand, Dad."

At this time, the deaf old lady also came over. Although she couldn't hear clearly, she could feel from everyone's expressions and atmosphere that this was a festive day. She looked at He Yudong with a smile, patted his head, and said, "Little He Yudong, are you happy today? You have a younger brother, so you will be more sensible."

He Yudong nodded, but his heart felt heavier. He didn't understand why he suddenly had a younger brother, and what kind of future he had to face. He felt as if he had been thrown into a strange world, with an uncertain future and full of confusion.

Dinner started, and everyone sat together, eating delicious food and chatting. The courtyard was filled with laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was very warm. However, He Yudong felt as if he was outside the incident, watching all this alone. He ate in silence, but in his mind he was thinking about how to face this new family member and how to find his place in this large courtyard.

"He Yudong, why don't you eat?" Qin Huairu asked with concern, "Today is a good day, eat more quickly."

He Yudong forced a smile and said, "Thank you Aunt Qin, I ate very well."

As the night progressed, the neighbors gradually dispersed and calm returned to the yard. He Yudong's mother was busy clearing the table and dishes, while his father was coaxing the baby to sleep. He Yudong sat alone in the yard, looking at the stars in the sky, feeling extremely lonely.

"He Yudong, are you still here in a daze?" He Yudong's father came over and sat next to him, "Are you not used to having a younger brother suddenly?"

He Yudong was silent for a while and nodded: "Dad, I just feel a little sudden and don't know what to do."

The father sighed and patted his shoulder: "I know this is indeed a sudden change for you. But you have to understand that this family needs you. You are the elder brother. You must learn to take responsibility and take good care of your younger brother. "

He Yudong looked at his father, feeling a little moved, but more helpless. He didn't know if he could really do what his father said, but he knew he had no choice.

"I will work hard, dad." He Yudong said firmly.

"That's right." Father nodded with satisfaction, "Have a good sleep, tomorrow is a new day."

In the dead of night, He Yudong was lying on the bed, thinking about everything that had happened today. He doesn't know what the future will bring, but he knows that he must face reality, accept this new family member, and try his best to adapt to this new life. He closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep, silently praying that tomorrow would be better.

In the early morning, the courtyard house in Sijiucheng was awakened by the first ray of sunshine. He Yudong rubbed his eyes and climbed out of bed. Familiar sounds of life could be heard outside. Qin Huairu was getting the children up, Yan Bugui was practicing boxing in the yard, and Yi Zhonghai was tidying up his small vegetable garden. Another day in this yard started with such hustle and bustle.
