Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

After picking up his younger brother, He Yudong took him back home. His younger brother excitedly told He Yudong: "Brother, I won first place in the competition today, and the teacher praised me!"

He Yudong happily hugged his brother and said with a smile: "Brother, you are awesome! We should celebrate."

In the evening, He Yudong specially cooked his brother's favorite dishes to celebrate his success. In the courtyard, neighbors came to congratulate him, and the whole courtyard was filled with laughter.

A few days later, He Yudong's parents finally came back. Seeing that everything was in order at home and his younger brother was well-behaved and sensible, Wang Cuihua was filled with joy: "Little He Yudong, younger brother, you have worked hard during this period."

He Yudong smiled and replied, "Mom, it's okay. We are doing well. My brother is also very obedient and even won first place in the competition!"

My younger brother said proudly: "Mom and Dad, I won first place in the singing competition, and the teacher praised me!"

He Yudong's father smiled and touched his brother's head: "You two are really our pride. Little He Yudong, you have taken good care of me during this period. Mom and Dad are relieved."

Wang Cuihua was also moved and said: "Little He Yudong, you have grown up, really grown up."

He Yudong's heart is filled with pride and happiness. He knows that he has not only grown up in life, but also learned more responsibilities and obligations during this period of time.

The next morning, He Yudong welcomed a new day again. Although the winter cold continued, his heart was full of warmth and hope. He knew that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he could face them bravely because he had the support of his family and neighbors behind him.

He Yudong and his brother spent one day after another full of warmth and challenges in the courtyard. They studied together, grew up together, and faced every difficulty and joy in life together.

On an ordinary day, He Yudong was busy in the courtyard, dealing with school homework and taking care of his younger brother. However, not everything went smoothly for him, and some problems made him feel a little at a loss.

One day, He Yudong had just finished his housework and was about to take his younger brother out for a walk when he discovered that his younger brother's pants were wet. He was immediately at a loss as to what to do.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" He Yudong squatted down and asked softly.

The younger brother lowered his head shyly and whispered, "Brother, I peed in my pants."

He Yudong felt distressed, but he did not blame his brother. Instead, he patted his shoulder gently and said, "It's okay, brother. This kind of thing happens to everyone. Let's go back and change our pants."

He took his brother's hand and walked back home quickly. At home, he changed his brother into clean pants and gently wiped his face, his heart full of love for his brother.

However, the problem did not end there. He Yudong found that he also had some troubles in feeding his brother. His brother's appetite was fickle. Sometimes he liked the food, but sometimes he was unwilling to touch it. This gave He Yudong a headache.

"Brother, have some food." He Yudong put the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said softly.

But my brother shook his head, tilted his head and looked at the food in the bowl, looking reluctant: "I don't want to eat."

He Yudong was a little anxious. He tried to persuade him, "Brother, these are your favorite dishes. Eat some. They are good for your health."

But my brother kept shaking his head and complained, "I don't want to eat. I don't want to eat."

He Yudong sighed helplessly, knowing that his brother might have developed an aversion to certain foods: "Okay, then what do you want to eat? Tell me, I'll make it for you."

The younger brother hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I want to eat noodles."

He Yudong immediately understood his brother's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make noodles for you right away."

He walked quickly to the kitchen and started to prepare noodles. Although this situation gave him a headache, he did not complain because he knew that taking care of his brother was his responsibility and obligation.

Soon, a bowl of fragrant noodles was served on the table. When the younger brother smelled the fragrance, he immediately became energetic and kept saying "Thank you, brother".

He Yudong felt warm at heart when he saw his brother's satisfied expression. He knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges he encountered, as long as he had his brother's smile, everything would be worth it.

As night fell, the courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere. He Yudong accompanied his brother to look at the stars and told stories about constellations. His brother became sleepy and closed his eyes. He Yudong gently covered him with a quilt, which aroused a sense of happiness.

Back in his room, He Yudong sat on the bed, and a warm current surged in his heart. Although life is full of various challenges, every difficulty is worth it, because it is the bond between him and his brother, and the friendship between him and his family.

He closed his eyes, thoughts flying in his mind. He knew that there would be more difficulties waiting for him in the future, but he also believed that with the support of his family and neighbors, he would be able to face it bravely and overcome everything.

That morning, He Yudong was still dreaming, wandering in an endless library. Suddenly, he was awakened by a loud noise, and vaguely heard his mother talking to someone. He rubbed his eyes, got up, dressed, and walked into the yard.

"Mom, what's the noise about?" He Yudong asked, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

The mother turned around with a complicated expression on her face, "He Yudong, come here, I have something to tell you."

He Yudong approached and saw a baby in the mother's arms. He was stunned for a moment, "Mom, whose child is this?"

Mother sighed and said, "This is your brother. Your father and I discussed and decided to adopt him. From now on, he will be your brother."

He Yudong was filled with various emotions, including confusion, surprise, but mostly uneasiness. "Why do you want to adopt? Our family is already struggling, how can we survive with another person?"

The mother touched He Yudong's head, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, "Your father and I are not impulsive. This child has lost his parents, so we will help him if we can. You should love him more in the future."

He Yudong didn't say anything else, but he felt very upset. He turned around and went back to his room, thinking about this sudden brother, wondering what kind of changes he would bring in the future.

As time went by, He Yudong gradually got used to having a baby in the family. This little brother was named He Yudong Xiaoan, perhaps hoping that he could find stability in this family. People in the compound also gradually learned about this, and all kinds of discussions followed.

Qin Huairu was He Yudong's neighbor across the street. She was always warm-hearted. When she saw He Yudong holding Xiao An in the yard and playing, she came over with a smile and said, "He Yudong, this child really looks more and more like you. His eyes are so bright."

He Yudong forced a smile and said, "Aunt Qin, please don't tease me. He is still young."

"Hey, your parents' decision is a good thing. It will be more lively with more children, and you won't be lonely." Qin Huairu said, reaching out to tease Xiao An.

Yan Bugui stood aside and interrupted with a serious face, "Life is already difficult, and with another child, the pressure is even greater."

He Yudong nodded, "Uncle Yan is right, but our family will do our best."

Yi Zhonghai came over from the other end of the yard and joked, "He Yudong, you'll be busy now. You have to help your parents take care of your brother."

Liu Haizhong also came over and patted He Yudong on the shoulder, "Little He Yudong, if you need any help, just ask. We are neighbors."

This is how the neighborhood relationship works in the compound. Although there are some bumps and bruises in daily life, most of the time everyone still supports each other. He Yudong felt the kindness of his neighbors and felt a little relieved.

Time flies, and a few years have passed. He Yudong and Xiao An have grown up and become smart and lovely children. He Yudong's feelings for his brother are getting deeper and deeper. The deep brotherly love between the two is also a beautiful sight in the compound.

That day, He Yudong came back from school and saw a group of people gathered in the yard, seemingly discussing something. He walked over quickly and heard Liu Guangtian saying loudly, "Every family in our yard is living in poverty. This adoption is really..."

He Yudong felt a little unhappy when he heard this, but he still walked forward, "Uncle Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Guangtian looked at He Yudong and snorted, "Nothing, just chatting casually."

He Yudong was unhappy, but he couldn't get angry, so he just walked back home quietly. He knew that these comments would only increase the pressure at home, but he also understood that all he could do was study hard and have a promising future to change the situation at home.

As He Yudong grew up, he performed better and better in school, and the teachers praised him highly. One day, Mr. Li, the head teacher, called him and said, "He Yudong, you have been doing very well recently. Keep up the good work and try to get into a good university."

He Yudong nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher Li. I will work hard."

However, life is always full of uncertainties. One night, He Yudong's father suddenly fell ill and was sent to the hospital. The doctor told them that his father needed long-term treatment. This was undoubtedly a double blow to the already poor family.

He Yudong's mother was taking care of his father in the hospital, while He Yudong took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother and housework. When the neighbors in the compound saw this, some sympathized with him, while others watched coldly. However, He Yudong was not defeated by this, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must support this family.

"Brother He Yudong, when will Dad be back?" Xiao An asked, blinking his big eyes.

He Yudong touched his brother's head and said softly, "Soon, Xiaoan, Dad will be better."
