Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Everyone seems to be used to this pace of life, busy and fulfilling. He Yudong gently opened the door of his home and saw his mother holding his younger brother with a sad face.

"Mom, what's wrong?" He Yudong put down his schoolbag and walked over quickly.

"My brother is a little uncomfortable today. He keeps crying and can't be coaxed." The mother sighed. "I think there's something wrong with his face. He may be sick."

He Yudong felt nervous and quickly looked at his brother. Sure enough, the younger brother's face was a little pale and his eyes seemed dull. He reached out and touched his brother's forehead, feeling a little warm.

"Mom, does my brother have a fever?" He Yudong asked anxiously.

"Maybe, I felt something was wrong with him this morning." Mother said helplessly, "Your dad has already gone to see Uncle Yi Zhonghai and asked him to help find a doctor to come and take a look at his home."

Just as he was talking, there were footsteps outside the door. He Yudong's father and Yi Zhonghai walked in one after another, and Yi Zhonghai was still carrying a medicine box in his hand.

"Lao Yi, I'm sorry to trouble you." He Yudong's father said with a sad face.

"It's okay, the child's matter is a big deal." Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and walked to He Yudong's mother, "Let me see how the child is doing."

He Yudong's mother carefully handed her brother to Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai checked it carefully and frowned: "Well, it is indeed a bit feverish. It seems that it may be caused by indigestion."

When He Yudong heard this, he felt guilty. It suddenly occurred to him that his brother might have gotten sick from eating the snacks he bought yesterday.

"Uncle Yi, what should I do? What should I do?" He Yudong asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, the child's problem is not serious. Let him drink some hot water first, then give him some mild medicine, and observe him carefully tonight. If he still doesn't get better tomorrow, go to the hospital." Yi Zhonghai said patiently.

He Yudong's mother quickly went to prepare hot water, while He Yudong's father kept patting He Yudong's shoulders and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, Uncle Yi said it's no big problem. Your brother is in good health and should be able to get through it." "

Although his parents and Yi Zhonghai were comforting him, He Yudong's inner guilt did not diminish. He stood aside silently, watching his mother feed his younger brother water, and secretly swore in his heart that he would be more careful in the future and never let his younger brother suffer like this again.

At night, the courtyard gradually became quiet, and only the lights at He Yudong's house were still on. He Yudong was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His mind was filled with his little brother's pale face. Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"He Yudong, aren't you asleep yet?" It was Qin Huairu's voice.

He Yudong quickly stood up and opened the door. Qin Huairu walked in, holding a thermos bottle and a bowl of soup: "I heard that your brother was sick. I cooked some ginger soup and gave him some to drink. Maybe he will get better."

"Thank you, Aunt Qin." He Yudong said gratefully, taking the soup bowl, "Thank you so much for coming so late."

"It's okay. We are all neighbors and we should take care of each other." Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. Children are like this sometimes. They will be fine in a day or two."

He Yudong nodded, feeling a little comforted in his heart. He walked into his brother's room carrying the soup bowl. His mother was guarding his brother. When he saw He Yudong come in, he showed a tired but relieved smile.

"Mom, Aunt Qin brought ginger soup and said it would be better after drinking it." He Yudong said softly.

"Qin Huairu is such a good person, he always cares about us." The mother said with emotion, then took the soup bowl and carefully fed it to her brother.

The younger brother drank a few mouthfuls of ginger soup and seemed to feel better, and his crying became much quieter. He Yudong breathed a sigh of relief and sat by the bed, watching his brother gradually calm down, silently praying in his heart that he would recover soon.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, my brother's condition seemed to have improved. Although he was still a little feverish, his energy was obviously much better. He Yudong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the big stone in his heart was finally relieved.

"He Yudong, you should go to school today. Your mother and I will take care of your brother at home," his father said.

"But..." He Yudong hesitated, he didn't want to leave his brother at this time.

"Be obedient, He Yudong, my brother will get better." His mother also advised, "You go to school, we will take good care of your brother."

He Yudong nodded, picked up his schoolbag and walked out. There was still a busy scene in the yard. When the neighbors saw him, they all asked with concern: "He Yudong, how is my brother?"

"Much better, thank you for your concern." He Yudong responded one by one, feeling a little warm in his heart.

When he arrived at school, He Yudong still found it difficult to fully concentrate on class, and he was always thinking about his younger brother. He thought that if his brother's condition didn't get better today, he would have to take leave and go home to take care of him.

After school, He Yudong hurried back home and saw his mother breastfeeding his younger brother. His little brother's face had also regained some rosiness, and he finally let go of the stone in his heart.

"Mom, is my brother feeling better?" He Yudong asked eagerly.

"Well, I'm much better today. Maybe the ginger soup last night had an effect." Mother said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." He Yudong breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and gently touched his brother's little face, his heart full of joy.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. He Yudong's father walked over and opened the door. It turned out to be Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui. They were holding some fruits and medicines in their hands.

"Brother He Yudong, I heard that your little brother is sick, so we brought some things over." Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you so much." He Yudong's father said gratefully and invited them into the house.

"We are all neighbors, so there is no need to be so polite." Yan Bugui said, "We are also very concerned about the child's illness. Little brother He Yudong is so cute, he will definitely get better soon."

He Yudong stood aside, deeply moved. Although there are many difficulties and challenges in life, the care and support of his neighbors always make him feel extremely warm.

As night falls, tranquility returns to the courtyard. He Yudong lay on the bed, thinking about everything that happened during the day, and felt extremely satisfied. He knew that he not only had a younger brother who needed to be taken care of, but also a group of caring and supportive neighbors, which made him feel full of hope for the future.

A few days later, his brother's illness completely recovered, and He Yudong's mood became much more relaxed. He began to take care of his younger brother more attentively. He would help his mother with housework and play with his younger brother after school every day, becoming a little helper at home.

One evening, He Yudong was playing with his younger brother in the yard. Qin Huairu came over and said with a smile: "He Yudong, you are such a good brother. My younger brother is really lucky to have such care from you."

"Thank you Aunt Qin, I just did what I should do." He Yudong smiled, but felt a little proud in his heart.

"By the way, He Yudong, how have you been studying recently? Are there any difficulties?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

"Fortunately, I just feel a bit stressed sometimes." He Yudong said frankly, "But I will work hard."

"It's normal to be stressed, but you must also learn to relax yourself." Qin Huairu said, "Studying is important, but you must also take good care of your body and don't get exhausted."

"I understand, Aunt Qin, thank you for your concern." He Yudong said gratefully.

A few days later, on a weekend, a party was held in the courtyard

He Yudong had no choice but to buy him nothing to eat or drink. Instead, he bought some children's supplies, as well as some whistles and other small toys.

After school, the courtyard returned to calm, and the neighbors were busy with their own affairs. He Yudong stepped into the yard, thinking about today's plan. He had decided not to buy snacks for his brother in the future, but to buy some supplies and toys suitable for his brother.

"He Yudong, you are back." My mother was drying the quilt at the door. When she saw He Yudong coming back, she greeted him with a smile.

"Mom, I went to buy some things for my brother today." He Yudong said excitedly as he picked up the bag in his hand.

"Oh, what did you buy?" Mother asked curiously.

"I bought some children's products, as well as a few whistles and small toys." He Yudong said, then opened the bag and took out the colorful toys to show to his mother.

The mother looked at these little toys with a smile on her face: "He Yudong, you are such a good and thoughtful brother. My brother will definitely like these toys."

"I also thought that my brother is still young and not suitable for eating snacks. Toys may be more suitable for him." He Yudong explained, feeling a little satisfied in his heart.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the yard. He Yudong looked up and saw Qin Huairu playing with the children. Seeing the toy in He Yudong's hand, Qin Huairu came over curiously: "He Yudong, what good thing did you buy?"

"Aunt Qin, I bought some toys for my brother. He has been in better health recently. I want to make him happy." He Yudong said with a smile.

"You are such a good brother. My brother is so lucky to have you taking care of him." Qin Huairu praised, then looked at the toys in He Yudong's hand, "These toys look good, and my brother will definitely like them."

"Hopefully." He Yudong smiled, but his heart was full of expectations.

When he returned home, He Yudong took out the toys one by one and placed them next to his brother's bed. When the younger brother saw these colorful little things, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stretched out his little hand, grabbed a whistle, and started blowing.

"My brother likes these toys." The mother said with a smile, and she was filled with joy when she saw her brother having fun.

He Yudong sat next to his younger brother and watched him play, feeling extremely satisfied. He knew that his brother's smile was the greatest affirmation of himself and the motivation for his efforts.

A few days later, on a weekend, the courtyard was particularly lively. The neighbors gathered in the yard for a small party.
