Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

"Yes! We can't let them demolish our house at will!" Grandma Li said excitedly, her eyes full of determination.

"We can write banners and post slogans to let them know our attitude," suggested Uncle Zhang.

"Good idea!" He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. "We can also contact the media to report our situation and let more people know about our demands."

Everyone offered suggestions and actively participated in the action of protecting the Siheyuan. He Yuzhu took the lead in making banners and slogans, and the old and young people in the Siheyuan joined in, and the whole courtyard was filled with intense and orderly busyness.

The next morning, the developer's survey team arrived as expected. A black business car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and several staff members in suits got out of the car, holding documents and cameras in their hands. As soon as they walked into the courtyard, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

The walls of the courtyard are covered with slogans: "Protect the courtyard, refuse demolition!" "Our home must not be violated!" Several red banners hung high on the big locust tree are particularly eye-catching.

"Of course. If you need any help, just come to me." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Li Xiaoling took out a few fresh apples from the basket and handed them to He Yuzhu, "This is a specialty from my hometown. Let you try some."

"Thank you, thank you." He Yuzhu took the apple, feeling warm in his heart, "I'm sorry you're so polite."

"You're welcome. We're a family from now on." Li Xiaoling said with a hearty smile.

From that day on, Li Xiaoling became a member of the courtyard. Her arrival brought new vitality to the courtyard and the relationship between neighbors became closer. Whenever everyone got together, Li Xiaoling always brought delicacies from her hometown. Everyone tasted and chatted, and the courtyard was filled with laughter.

Time flies, and it's autumn again. One evening, He Yuzhu was about to finish work and go home when he suddenly received a call. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. It was his old friend Zhang Jian.

"Zhu Zi, how have you been lately?" Zhang Jian asked enthusiastically.

"Not bad, still the same as usual, busy renovating the courtyard house." He Yuzhu replied.

"I have good news for you." Zhang Jian's voice was filled with excitement. "Our company's project is about to start, and I would like to invite you to join."

"What project?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

"A large-scale community renovation project needs experienced craftsmen like you. The pay is good and you can learn a lot of new things," Zhang Jian explained.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment, feeling a little hesitant. Although he was interested in the new opportunity, he didn't want to leave the courtyard. "I need to think about it."

"No problem, this project will last for a while, you can join at any time." Zhang Jian said with understanding, "However, this opportunity is rare, I hope you can seize it."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu fell into deep thought. He knew that this project was a rare opportunity for him, which would not only improve his skills, but also make more money and improve his life. But he was reluctant to leave Siheyuan, as he had too many concerns and responsibilities here.

At night, He Yuzhu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He thought of the residents of the courtyard and the days when they worked together to protect this land. Suddenly, he made a decision to discuss it with everyone tomorrow.

The next day, He Yuzhu got up early and called the residents of the courtyard together. He told everyone about Zhang Jian's invitation and hoped to hear their opinions.

"Zhu Zi, this is a good opportunity, you should go." The third uncle spoke first, his eyes full of encouragement, "You have done so much for Siheyuan, we have all seen it. Now is the time for you to show your talent."

"Yes, Zhuzi, we support you." Grandma Li also nodded and said, "We will help you take care of things here, don't worry."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, you don't have to worry about us. You should pursue your dreams."

He Yuzhu was deeply moved by everyone's support. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding and support. I will think about it carefully and will definitely not let you down."

After a few days of thinking, He Yuzhu finally made a decision. He decided to accept Zhang Jian's invitation and join the community renovation project, but he would not leave the Siheyuan. He wanted to participate in the project while continuing to take care of the renovation of the Siheyuan.

On this day, He Yuzhu came to Zhang Jian's company. Zhang Jian received him warmly, took him to visit various departments of the company, and introduced the content and plan of the project in detail.

"Zhu Zi, this project is a big challenge, but I believe you can do it." Zhang Jian patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said.

"I will do my best." He Yuzhu replied firmly.

Soon, He Yuzhu devoted himself to his new job. Every day, he came to the construction site early to measure, design and construct with his fellow workers. Despite the busy work, he still insisted on returning to the courtyard every day to enjoy the warm life with the residents.

The project went very smoothly, and He Yuzhu's skills and experience were recognized and appreciated by everyone. He learned a lot of new knowledge and techniques on the construction site and felt unprecedented fulfillment and satisfaction.

At the same time, the renovation of the courtyard is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Under the leadership of He Yuzhu, the residents worked together to keep the courtyard in good order. Under the big locust tree, the children's laughter is still there, and the elderly's chat is full of happiness.

One weekend afternoon, He Yuzhu was about to go to the construction site when Li Xiaoling suddenly appeared in the yard, with an excited smile on her face and several invitations in her hands.

"Zhu Zi, are you free? Let's come and see this event together." Li Xiaoling said, handing the invitation to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the invitation and saw that it was a cultural festival held in a nearby park. The invitation said there would be various traditional handicrafts and food, as well as some interesting interactive activities.

"This activity is quite interesting, and I happen to be free." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Let's go together."

So He Yuzhu and Li Xiaoling brought the children to the park. The park was crowded and bustling. Various handicraft stalls were neatly arranged, including wood carving, pottery, embroidery, etc. Each stall attracted many visitors.

"This wood carving is really exquisite." Li Xiaoling pointed at a wood carving on a stall and said, "Zhu Zi, look, this carving is comparable to your craftsmanship."

He Yuzhu walked over and took a closer look at the wood carvings, which were indeed very exquisite. He couldn't help but chat with the stall owner, and the two soon became very excited, exchanging many skills and experiences about wood carving.
