Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

It turned out that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu placed their firecrackers under the window of Yan Jiecheng's house, which shattered the window glass.

Yan Jiecheng ran out angrily, pointing at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and yelling, "What are you two doing? You shattered all my glass!"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were so scared that they quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Uncle Xie Cheng, we didn't mean it."

He Yudong quickly stepped forward and advised: "Uncle Yan, don't be angry, the children didn't do it on purpose, I will ask them to compensate for your losses."

Yan Jiecheng snorted coldly: "That's easy for you to say. This glass can't be compensated just like that!"

He Yudong had no choice but to turn to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and said, "Go and apologize to Uncle Yan as soon as possible, and then find a way to repair the glass."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu lowered their heads and went to apologize to Yan Jiecheng. He Yudong knew that the matter was temporarily resolved, but he would have to keep an eye on these two naughty boys in the future.

After finishing all this, He Yudong returned home. His parents were sitting at the table, with a trace of fatigue on their faces. He Yudong walked over and asked with concern: "Dad, Mom, is my brother okay?"

He Yudong's mother smiled and said, "Fortunately, my little brother is very well behaved, but he is a little noisy."

He Yudong nodded, looking at his little brother in the cradle, a surge of joy surged in his heart.

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

In the early morning when the sun gradually rose, He Yudong stepped out of the courtyard door, thinking about how to make his brother's life better. He walked straight to the nearby small shop and decided to buy some snacks and drinks to bring some freshness to his brother. On the street, the morning air was fresh, and the 1970s street scene of the old city was simple and quaint, revealing a taste of life.

When I walked into the small shop, the proprietress greeted me warmly: "He Yudong, young man, what are you buying today?"

He Yudong smiled and responded: "Madam Boss, I want to buy some snacks and drinks to bring back for my brother to try."

The lady boss smiled and said, "How old is your brother? Children don't have very good digestion abilities, so you have to be careful when buying things."

He Yudong nodded, carefully selected some snacks that he thought were suitable for his younger brother, and bought a few bottles of juice. After paying the bill, he returned to the courtyard with the bag, full of expectations. He hoped that his younger brother would like these snacks. After all, he also spent a lot of happy time relying on these snacks when he was a child.

When he got home, He Yudong saw his mother holding his younger brother in the yard to bask in the sun. His younger brother's small face looked particularly tender in the sun, and He Yudong felt warm in his heart. He walked up and handed the bag in his hand to his mother: "Mom, I bought some snacks and juice for my younger brother to try."

The mother smiled slightly, took the bag, gently opened it and took a look: "He Yudong, you have a good intention, but children's gastrointestinal tract is more fragile, he may not be able to eat these things."

He Yudong was a little disappointed, but still insisted: "Mom, just let him try a little, maybe he will like it."

The mother sighed and finally nodded in agreement. She carefully handed a small piece of biscuit to the younger brother's mouth. The younger brother opened his eyes wide and took a bite curiously. However, within a few minutes, the younger brother began to cry, obviously not used to the taste and texture of this snack.

He Yudong's heart tightened, and he quickly picked up his brother and patted him on the back: "I'm sorry, brother, it's my fault. I won't buy these next time."

The mother comforted him, "It's okay, He Yudong, your brother is still young, take your time, he will like these when he grows up."

At this time, a burst of laughter came from the yard. It turned out that Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu came over. Liu Haizhong looked at the younger brother in He Yudong's arms and said with a smile: "He Yudong, little brother is not used to snacks, right? My little grandson is the same. Children have very picky appetites."

Qin Huairu nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's better for children to eat light food that is easy to digest."

He Yudong nodded, and understood a lot in his heart: "Thank you Uncle Liu, Sister Huairu, I will pay attention to it in the future."

At this time, Yan Bugui came over from the other side, carrying a basket of vegetables. Seeing He Yudong, he walked up to him and joked, "He Yudong, you are such a considerate brother. It's not easy to take care of your younger brother. You should learn more."

He Yudong smiled, feeling a little touched. The concern between neighbors made him feel warm: "Thank you, Uncle Yan. I will work hard."

Just when everyone was chatting excitedly, a scream was suddenly heard: "Oh no, Banggeng stole things again!" The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became tense.

He Yudong immediately put his brother down and walked over quickly. He saw Jia Zhang pointing at Bang Geng angrily, with Bang Geng standing next to him with an innocent look. He frowned, walked up and asked, "What's going on, Aunt Jia, what trouble has Bang Geng gotten into again?"

Jia Zhang said angrily: "This little bastard actually stole eggs from the Liu family next door! Tell me, how can we live like this?"

Banggeng lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes, but he was stubborn and refused to admit his mistakes. He Yudong looked at Banggeng, then at Jia Zhangshi, and felt a little complicated. He knew that Banggeng was not a bad boy, but the way he was educated at home did make him a little rebellious.

He Yudong sighed, squatted down, and said to Banggeng gently: "Banggeng, why did you steal things again? This is not good, you know?"

Bang Geng bit his lip and whispered in defense: "I...I just wanted to give it to my sister. I didn't mean to steal it."

He Yudong felt a pang in his heart, knowing that Banggeng was also doing it for the good of the family. He turned to Jia Zhang and said, "Aunt Jia, the child didn't do it on purpose. How about this, I'll go apologize to the Liu family, return the eggs, and give them some compensation, and let this matter go."

Jia Zhang was still angry, but she also knew that this was a solution, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll take Bang Geng home and teach him a lesson."

He Yudong stood up and patted Banggeng on the shoulder: "Remember, if you have any problems in the future, tell your brother and don't steal things anymore, okay?"

Bang Geng nodded heavily: "Thank you, Brother He Yudong, I know I was wrong."

He Yudong heaved a sigh of relief, took the money, and headed for Liu's house. Along the way, he thought about how to prevent children like Banggeng from going astray, and at the same time he felt how important it was for neighbors to support each other.

When they arrived at Liu's house, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were playing in the yard. When they saw He Yudong coming over, they asked curiously, "Brother He Yudong, what are you doing here?"

He Yudong smiled and said, "I came to apologize. Banggeng stole your eggs, and I brought money to compensate you."

Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother He Yudong, these are just children's things, don't take it too seriously."

At this time, Liu Haizhong walked out of the house, saw He Yudong, and nodded: "He Yudong, you're just in time, come in and talk."

He Yudong followed Liu Haizhong into the house, told him what happened, and handed over the money: "Uncle Liu, this is the compensation for the eggs, please don't mind it."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said, "No need for money. It's normal for children to make mistakes. In our compound, neighbors should understand each other. As an older brother, you just need to teach Bang Geng more in the future."

He Yudong nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Liu, I will."

When he returned to the yard, He Yudong saw that his brother had fallen asleep quietly, and his mother was humming a little tune with a kind smile on her face. He Yudong was full of hope, and he knew that although there were many challenges in life, as long as everyone supported each other, life would always get better and better.

A few days later, He Yudong was playing with several children in the yard, and everyone seemed very happy. Liu Guangtian suddenly suggested: "Brother He Yudong, let's go to the wild to catch butterflies together!"

Banggeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Yes, Brother He Yudong, let's go catch butterflies!"

He Yudong looked at the sky and nodded: "Okay, but everyone should be obedient and don't run around. Safety is the most important thing."

The group happily left the yard and ran to the suburbs not far away. That place was a paradise for children, full of various insects and small animals. Everyone held homemade nets and chased butterflies happily, and laughter echoed in the air.

He Yudong felt extremely satisfied when he saw these happy children. Although there are many unsatisfactory things in life, as long as there are these simple joys, everything seems unimportant.

Suddenly, Liu Guangfu pointed ahead and shouted, "Look, there's a big butterfly over there!"

Everyone ran over and saw a large, colorful butterfly flying among the flowers. Banggeng excitedly waved his net and caught the beautiful butterfly with a light pounce.

"I caught it! I caught it!" Banggeng jumped up happily, his face filled with incomparable joy.

He Yudong walked over with a smile and touched Banggeng's head: "Great, Banggeng, you are the best!"

Bang Geng smiled proudly and carefully placed the butterfly into a small bottle: "Brother He Yudong, this butterfly is so beautiful. I want to take it back to show my sister."

He Yudong nodded, feeling deeply moved.

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.

That afternoon, He Yudong was busy chopping wood in the yard when he suddenly heard his brother crying and his mother's anxious voice. He felt nervous and quickly put down the axe and walked into the house.

The mother was holding her brother, looking anxious: "He Yudong, come and see, my brother seems to be sick, crying non-stop, and his face doesn't look good."

He Yudong hurried over and saw his little brother's face flushed red, beads of sweat on his forehead, and tears in his eyes. He reached out and touched his brother's forehead, feeling a burst of burning heat, and his heart sank immediately.
