Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

He Yudong hurriedly washed up and walked to the yard. He saw that his father had gone to work and his mother was busy breastfeeding her little brother. He walked over and asked softly: "Mom, can I go to school early today?"

Mother raised her head, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Of course, there is nothing special today. You go to school early and study hard."

He Yudong nodded, picked up his schoolbag, and walked out of the courtyard. His school is not far away, just walk down a few alleys to get there. Along the way, his heart was still full of various thoughts, wondering what would happen today.

When he arrived at school, He Yudong found that his classmates were already in the classroom. He found a corner to sit down and began to read the textbook. However, he couldn't concentrate, and the scene from last night kept popping up in his mind.

"He Yudong, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be in a good mood." Xiao Zhang, the deskmate, asked with concern.

He Yudong shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Xiao Zhang didn't ask any more questions, turned his head and continued reading. He Yudong tried hard to focus on the class and put those worries behind him. However, the heavy feeling in my heart still lingers.

After school, He Yudong did not rush home, but wandered alone

He Yudong bought some food and drink and planned to give it to his brother. Unexpectedly, his brother could not digest his snacks.

After school, He Yudong did not rush home, but walked aimlessly in the alleys of Sijiu City alone. There are gradually more and more small shops and vendors on both sides of the street, and the air is filled with the aroma of various snacks. He Yudong walked to a grocery store and suddenly remembered what his father said yesterday. He decided to buy something for his brother to take back.

"Boss, give me a bag of milk candies and two packs of biscuits." He Yudong said to the owner of the grocery store.

"Okay, young man, I'll get it for you." The boss responded with a smile, quickly packed the things and handed them to He Yudong.

He Yudong paid the money, took the snacks and continued walking towards home. I thought to myself that maybe these snacks would make my brother happy and I could behave better in front of my parents.

When I returned to the courtyard, the yard was still lively. Some neighbors were washing clothes and some were chatting. He Yudong walked straight to his home and saw his mother holding his younger brother and sunbathing in the yard.

"Mom, I bought some snacks for my brother to try." He Yudong said excitedly, handing over the bag in his hand.

The mother took the bag and said with a smile: "He Yudong, my brother is still young and he can't eat these snacks. But I am very happy that you have such a heart."

"Then when can he eat these?" He Yudong asked with some disappointment.

"Let's wait until he gets older. He can only drink milk now." The mother explained patiently.

"Oh..." He Yudong lowered his head in frustration, "Then can I eat it?"

Mother smiled and nodded: "Of course, but you must remember to eat snacks after eating, otherwise you will not be able to eat."

He Yudong nodded. Although he felt a little disappointed, he also understood that his brother was still young and he had to be patient. Just as he was about to enter the house, Qin Huairu's voice came from outside the courtyard door.

"Mom He Yudong, what delicious food did your family buy?" Qin Huairu walked in with a smile, carrying a basket of fruits in her hand.

"Oh, Huai Ru, why are you here to buy something again?" He Yudong's mother hurriedly came up to meet her, "Look at our place, He Yudong bought some snacks for his brother today."

"It's okay. I have some extra fruit at home, so I'll bring it over for you to try." Qin Huairu said as she handed the basket to He Yudong's mother.

"Thank you so much, Huai Ru." He Yudong's mother said gratefully, "By the way, let's have dinner together today. I've cooked a lot of dishes."

"Okay, it just so happens that I have nothing to do, so let's have some fun together in the evening." Qin Huairu agreed happily.

He Yudong watched their interaction and felt a little warm in his heart. Although there is a younger brother in the family, the neighbors are still so caring and supportive, making him feel that this courtyard is still the same warm family.

At dinner time, He Yudong's house became lively again. Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others all came. Everyone sat together, eating food and chatting. He Yudong's younger brother was also placed in a small cradle and occasionally made babbling noises, making everyone laugh.

"He Yudong, how were you at school today?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

"It's okay, just a little tired." He Yudong replied. He didn't want everyone to know his troubles.

"Young people, it's a good thing to be a little tired." Liu Haizhong said with a smile, "Learn more knowledge so that you can be successful in the future."

"Yes, He Yudong, you have to work hard!" Yan Bugui also encouraged.

He Yudong nodded, but thinking in his heart, he not only had to study hard in school, but also had to take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother. Such pressure made him breathless.

After the meal, everyone sat in the yard and chatted. He Yudong looked at his younger brother and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He walked to his mother and whispered: "Mom, can I help you take care of your brother?"

His mother looked at him in surprise, but then smiled happily: "Of course, He Yudong, you have really grown up."

He Yudong carefully picked up his younger brother, and felt his younger brother's little hands gently grasping him in his arms, and a surge of tenderness suddenly surged in his heart. He knows that he is not only a member of this family, but also an older brother to his younger brother, and he must learn to take on this responsibility.

"He Yudong, look how cute your brother is!" Qin Huairu said with a smile, "You must take good care of him in the future and be a good brother."

"I will." He Yudong said firmly, looking at his brother with eyes full of determination.

As the night progressed, the neighbors gradually dispersed, and tranquility returned to the yard. He Yudong put his brother back in the cradle, rocked him gently, and hummed a tune to coax him to sleep. The mother looked on with a satisfied smile on her face.

"He Yudong, you did a good job today. Mom is proud of you." Mother said softly.

He Yudong raised his head and looked at his mother, feeling warm in his heart: "Thank you, Mom, I will continue to work hard."

"Good boy, go to bed early. We have to go to school tomorrow." His mother patted his shoulder and turned back to the house.

He Yudong sat next to the cradle, looking at his sleeping brother, praying silently in his heart, hoping that his brother would grow up healthily, and that he would be able to take on the responsibilities of the family. He knows that there is still a long way to go, but he will go step by step.

In the early morning, Siheyuan in Sijiucheng was once again awakened by the morning light. When He Yudong got up, he found that his mother had prepared breakfast and his brother was lying quietly in the cradle. He washed up quickly and walked to the dining table.

"He Yudong, what do you want to eat today?" Mother asked with a smile.

"Whatever, Mom, everything you cook is delicious." He Yudong replied, but he was thinking about how to find a balance between school and home.

After breakfast, He Yudong picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go out. The mother stood at the door holding her brother in her arms and said to him: "He Yudong, go home early after school today and let's make dinner together."

"Okay, Mom, I will." He Yudong nodded, walked out of the courtyard, and walked towards the school in the morning sunshine.

Along the way, He Yudong felt much more relaxed than yesterday. He knew that although having a younger brother made life busy and stressful, it also gave him a lot more warmth and sense of responsibility. He must learn to adapt to this change and find his place in it.

When he arrived at school, He Yudong found that his classmates were still busy preparing for the exam. Xiao Zhang saw He Yudong and asked with a smile: "He Yudong, how about the snacks you bought yesterday?"

He Yudong smiled sheepishly and said, "My brother is still too young to eat those snacks, but my mother said he can eat them when he is older."

"Then you have to keep it well. When your brother grows up, you can eat it together." Xiao Zhang teased.

"Yes, I will." He Yudong replied with a smile, but in his mind, he wanted to learn how to take care of his younger brother so that he could grow up healthy and happy.

After school, He Yudong did not wander aimlessly in the alley like yesterday, but returned home directly. He knows that his mother and brother are waiting for him, and home is the most important place for him.

When we returned to the courtyard, the courtyard was still lively. Qin Huairu was washing the children's clothes, Yi Zhonghai was repairing his bicycle, and Yan Bugui was playing chess with Liu Haizhong. He Yudong walked into the yard and saw his mother busy in the kitchen and his brother sleeping quietly in the cradle.

"Mom, I'm back." He Yudong put down his schoolbag and walked into the kitchen.

"He Yudong, it's great to be back early today. Come on, help mom cut some vegetables." Mother said with a smile.

He Yudong rolled up his sleeves and began to help his mother cut vegetables. While her mother was busy, she said, "He Yudong, did you go somewhere to play after school today?"

"No, Mom, I came right back." He Yudong replied, feeling that cooking with his mother was also a kind of enjoyment.

"Good boy, you must do this in the future. Go home early after school. There are still many things at home that need your help." Mother said with satisfaction.

"I understand, Mom." He Yudong nodded seriously.

When dinner time came, He Yudong and his mother put the food on the table together. Neighbors are Lu Lu again

Because of this, his younger brother fell ill, so his parents had to call Yi Zhonghai and ask him to ask a doctor to come to his home.

After school, He Yudong walked quickly on the way home, full of expectations. There was nothing special at school today, but he felt particularly relaxed because he and his brother spent a rare quiet time last night. His younger brother's watery eyes have become the warmest thing in his heart.

Walking into the courtyard, He Yudong saw Qin Huairu washing the children's clothes, while Liu Haizhong was repairing bicycles in the yard.
