Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Seeing how sensible He Yudong was, neighbor Yan Bugui also felt a little emotional, "He Yudong, it's not easy for you to shoulder so much at such a young age."

Qin Huairu often came to help and brought some food and daily necessities to He Yudong's home. While she was busy, she said, "He Yudong, if you need anything, just tell your aunt, don't force yourself."

He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Qin, we will get through this."

Time passed in the busy and hard times. He Yudong's efforts were not in vain. He was admitted to a famous university in Beijing with excellent grades. The news spread throughout the compound and everyone was happy for him. He Yudong's parents also learned the news in the hospital and were overwhelmed with emotions.

"He Yudong, you are really the pride of our family." said the mother with tears in her eyes.

He Yudong held his mother's hand and said firmly, "Mom, I will definitely work hard to make our family live a good life."

After entering university, He Yudong worked harder because he knew the responsibility on his shoulders. He worked part-time in his spare time to earn tuition and living expenses, while also constantly improving his professional skills. He believed that as long as he persisted, the future would be better.

As the people in the compound watched He Yudong grow up step by step, they all had different feelings in their hearts. Liu Guangtian used to always criticize He Yudong's family, but now he has to admire He Yudong's perseverance and determination. Jia Dongxu said enviously, "He Yudong is a promising kid."

As time went by, He Yudong gradually entered the society. He found a good job with a stable income, and finally he could reduce the burden on his family. He used his first salary to buy gifts for his parents and new clothes for Xiao An. Looking at the happy faces of his family, He Yudong felt that all his efforts were worth it.

On this day, He Yudong returned to the compound after get off work and saw that there was another quarrel in the yard. He walked over and saw that something happened at Liu Guangfu's house and the couple were quarreling. He Yudong walked up and advised, "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, if you have anything to say, just talk it over and stop quarreling."

Liu Guangfu looked at He Yudong and sighed, "Ah, these are just trivial matters in life, hurdles that cannot be overcome."

He Yudong nodded, "If there is anything, let's work together to find a solution, don't keep it in your heart."

The care and help between neighbors made life in the compound full of warmth. He Yudong also learned more from these experiences. He knew that there would always be difficulties in life, but as long as there was love,

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

Summer nights in Beijing are always very lively. In the courtyards of the old city, the lights of every household are intertwined, reflecting the strong human touch. He Yudong dragged his tired body back home, holding a bag of food and drinks, ready to give his younger brother He Yudong Xiaoan a surprise.

"Xiao An, Xiao An, look what delicious food your brother bought for you!" He Yudong greeted his younger brother loudly as he entered the door.

Xiao An ran out of the house and saw the snacks in his brother's hand. His eyes lit up immediately, "Brother, is this for me?"

He Yudong smiled and nodded, "Of course it's for you, come and try it."

He Yudong opened the snack bag, which contained candies, biscuits, and some small toys. Xiao An took it excitedly and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently. He Yudong felt warm in his heart when he saw his brother's happy look.

However, not long after, Xiao An suddenly looked unhappy, holding his stomach and crying in pain. He Yudong hurriedly picked up his brother, his face full of anxiety, "Xiao An, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The mother heard the noise and ran out of the kitchen. Seeing Xiao An's appearance, she immediately understood what was going on. "He Yudong, what did you buy? Xiao An's stomach is still tender, and he can't eat these snacks."

He Yudong was stunned, his face full of self-blame, "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

The mother shook her head, quickly took out the old medicine box at home, fed Xiao An some medicine, and patted his back gently, "Xiao An, be patient, you will be well soon."

Xiao An gradually calmed down under the comfort of his mother. He Yudong felt sad when he saw his brother's weak appearance. He never thought that his good intentions would bring pain to his brother.

Late at night, the mother sat by the bed and hummed a little tune to coax Xiao An to sleep. He Yudong stood aside, lowering his head in guilt.

"Mom, I really didn't know that Xiao An can't eat these. I will pay attention next time." He Yudong said in a low voice, his voice full of apology.

The mother sighed and patted He Yudong's shoulder. "He Yudong, I know you mean well, but Xiao An is still young and he can't digest many things. Before you buy something in the future, ask me first, okay?"

He Yudong nodded, "Mom, I understand."

The next morning, He Yudong was still blaming himself for what happened yesterday, while the neighbors in the yard had already started a new day of busyness. Qin Huairu came and knocked on the door early in the morning, "He Yudong's mother, I made some millet porridge today and brought a bowl for Xiao An."

The mother took the bowl and thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Huairu."

"Don't be polite. We are all neighbors. Is Xiao An okay?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

"Much better, it's just that you ate something you shouldn't have yesterday and you were upset all night." Mother smiled helplessly.

He Yudong stood aside, feeling even worse. When Yan Bugui heard this, he also came over and patted He Yudong on the shoulder, "Little He Yudong, be careful when you buy things next time, children's stomachs are very delicate."

"I'll remember it, Uncle Yan." He Yudong forced a smile.

Yi Zhonghai also came over and joked, "Little He Yudong, have you learned your lesson this time? But it doesn't matter, it's all part of the process of growing up."

He Yudong nodded, and secretly made up his mind that he must be more careful in the future and not let his brother suffer like this again. Seeing this scene, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but sigh, "Little He Yudong, you are a good brother. Xiao An will definitely be grateful to you in the future."

As the days passed, He Yudong gradually adapted to the life of taking care of his younger brother. He learned to cook simple meals, coax his younger brother to sleep, and how to find a balance between busy studies and housework. His efforts were not in vain, and his mother felt more comforted when she saw how sensible her son was.

One day, He Yudong came back from school and saw Xiao An playing with other children in the yard. He walked over and said with a smile, "Xiao An, are you having fun?"

When Xiao An saw his brother, he immediately ran over and said excitedly, "Brother, we played a lot of games today, and Uncle Liu Guangfu even taught me how to fold a paper airplane!"

He Yudong touched his brother's head and said gently, "Have you learned it?"

Xiao An nodded proudly, "I got it! Brother, I'll show you!"

As he said that, Xiao An ran to the side, took out a folded paper airplane, and handed it to He Yudong. He Yudong took it, looked at it carefully, and praised, "Xiao An is really amazing, this airplane is folded very well!"

When Xiao An heard the compliment, a bright smile appeared on his face, "Brother, I will learn more things and teach you in the future!"

He Yudong smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for Xiao An to teach me."

At this moment, Liu Guangtian came over and joked, "Little He Yudong, your brother is really smart. He will definitely have a bright future."

He Yudong smiled and replied, "I hope so. I will also try my best to help him."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he also interjected, "Little He Yudong, you are so outstanding yourself, your brother must be no worse."

He Yudong smiled modestly, "It's all because of everyone's help that our family can live so well."

Although life in the compound is not rich, everyone tries their best to help each other. This kind of human touch makes He Yudong feel very warm. Whenever he encounters difficulties, there will always be neighbors who lend a hand to help him through the difficulties.

That night, He Yudong lay in bed, thinking about every detail of the day. He knew that his responsibility was not only to take care of his brother, but also to study hard and strive for better development in the future in order to truly change the family's situation.

"He Yudong, are you asleep?" Mother's voice came from outside the door.

"Mom, not yet. Is there something wrong?" He Yudong got up and opened the door, and saw his mother standing at the door with a little worry on her face.

"Mom just wants to talk to you. Are you a little tired lately?" Mother walked into the room and asked with concern.

He Yudong shook his head, "Mom, I'm fine, I just feel a little stressed sometimes."

The mother sighed, "He Yudong, you have done very well. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Mom and Dad will do their best to take care of the housework. You just need to study hard."

He Yudong nodded, "Mom, I understand. It's just that sometimes I feel bad when I see you working so hard."

The mother touched He Yudong's head and said gently, "You are a sensible child. Mom knows you are suffering, but life is like this and we have to face it together. Don't worry, as long as our family is together, there will be no obstacles that we can't overcome."

He Yudong felt warm in his heart after hearing this, "Mom, I will work hard."

In the following days, He Yudong studied harder and took care of his brother and family. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, but he was not afraid of difficulties because he had a firm belief in his heart that he wanted his family to live a better life.

One day, He Yudong heard a piece of news at school that the school was going to select a group of outstanding students to participate in a national mathematics competition. He Yudong had always been interested in mathematics, so he decided to sign up.

"He Yudong, do you really want to participate in this competition?" asked classmate Xiao Li.

He Yudong nodded, "Yes, I want to try and see what I am capable of."

Xiao Li patted He Yudong on the shoulder and said, "You can do it, we all believe in you!"
