Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

As night fell, a bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating the alleys of the village. Qin Jingru walked home tiredly, with mixed feelings. She had just experienced an unusual storm, and she felt both relieved and uneasy.

Crossing the cobblestone road, she came to a simple small building, where she and Lou Zhenhua lived together. She gently opened the door and walked into the quiet home.

"Mom, you're back!" A crisp voice rang out, and a little girl ran out of the room and threw herself into Qin Jingru's arms with a smile on her face.

Qin Jingru picked up her daughter and patted her back gently. "Xiaodang, mom is back." Her voice was a little tired, but her eyes were full of warmth and love.

"Have you been busy at the clinic all day today?" Xiao Dang asked, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Qin Jingru nodded gently, "Yes, I am a little busy today. But mom will try her best to protect you and let you live a stable life."

After hearing this, Xiao Dang showed a bright smile on his face, "I know, mom is the best!"

The mother and daughter embraced each other warmly, and the home was filled with a warm atmosphere. Qin Jingru felt grateful, and she knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, as long as she had the support of her family, she would be able to overcome everything.

At dinner time, Qin Jingru cooked a table full of delicious dishes. She wanted to use this meal to celebrate Lou Zhenhua's success in overcoming the difficulties. Xiao Dang danced happily and helped his mother in the kitchen. The scene was warm and joyful.

"Mom, have the issues at the clinic been resolved today?" Xiao Dang asked curiously, her eyes full of concern.

Qin Jingru smiled gently, "Well, mom and dad will work hard. Now let's enjoy this sumptuous dinner first, and we will have a good meal together."

The mother and daughter sat cozily around the dining table under the light, enjoying the warmth and happiness of home. At this moment, their hearts were closely connected to each other, and the silent emotions flowed in the air, as if foreshadowing the strength and beauty of the future.

"Xiaodang, what do you want to eat?" Qin Jingru asked softly, her eyes full of maternal love and care.

Xiao Dang answered cheerfully while holding the bowl and chopsticks: "I want to eat the braised pork stewed by my mother, and the pickled fish that my father likes the most."

Qin Jingru listened and smiled more gently, "Okay, I understand, I will do it for you right away."

As dinner time passed, the laughter and conversation of the mother and daughter echoed in the house. They sat side by side, listening to each other's thoughts, and their emotions were nourished and sublimated in this ordinary and warm family.

Chen Rufeng's yearning for the Siheyuan is not an idle fantasy. He is full of interest in the culture and traditions of old Beijing. He hopes to find a place of his own in this city, a place where he can rest his soul and his family. Whenever he walks in the streets of the city and sees those ancient and elegant Siheyuans, his desire becomes stronger.

However, it is not easy to buy an ideal courtyard house in such a crowded and competitive city. Chen Rufeng faced various difficulties and challenges, but he was not defeated. On the contrary, he became more determined to achieve his goal, worked hard, and saved up the down payment for buying a house.

During this difficult time, Chen Rufeng's good friend Lou Zhenhua has always been by his side to support him. Lou Zhenhua is a young man with the same ambitions as Chen Rufeng, and they have formed a deep friendship since college. Although Lou Zhenhua's family is not rich, he always tries his best to help Chen Rufeng, both materially and spiritually.

However, Lou Zhenhua himself was also facing some family problems. His father was injured in an accident, and the family's financial burden became even heavier. Lou Zhenhua worked hard to support the family, but the pressure in his heart was getting greater and greater. Chen Rufeng saw this and felt very distressed and grateful, but he also felt powerless.

As time went by, Chen Rufeng's efforts finally paid off. He finally bought the courtyard house he had long dreamed of, a spacious and quaint courtyard with a long history and profound cultural heritage. When the news spread, Chen Rufeng's good friend Lou Zhenhua also felt relieved and happy, because he knew what this meant to Chen Rufeng.

However, just as Chen Rufeng was happy about buying a house, things changed at Lou Zhenhua's home. His father's injury worsened and he needed more medical expenses and care. Lou Zhenhua had to put down his work and take care of his family wholeheartedly. This made Chen Rufeng feel very distressed. He knew his friend's situation very well, but he could not provide any substantial help.

Chen Rufeng hurriedly walked through the busy streets, thinking that he must decide on the courtyard house he had long admired today. His steps seemed a little hurried, because he knew that good houses on the market would not wait for anyone. At the corner, he suddenly bumped into a tall and mighty man with a full beard.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Chen Rufeng apologized hastily and quickly bent down to pick up the schoolbag on the ground.

"Boy, where are your eyes? Can't you see there's someone in front of you?" The man said angrily, waving his strong arms as if he was ready to beat someone up at any time.

"Sorry, sorry, I really didn't mean it." Chen Rufeng hurriedly explained, trying to calm the other party's anger.

"Hey, big brother, don't bother with that young guy." A slightly weak voice came from the side. Chen Rufeng looked up and saw that it was an old man with silver hair, wrapped tightly in a blue cotton jacket, with a kind smile on his face.

The man looked at the old man, then sneered, waved his hand, and walked away.

"Thank you, old sir." Chen Rufeng thanked gratefully.

"You're welcome, young man. It's just a small matter." The old man said with a smile, his hands in his sleeves, watching the man's back disappear in the crowded crowd.

"You are such a kind person, otherwise I might have been beaten up by him today." Chen Rufeng said with emotion.

"Haha, young man, you don't look like someone who is easy to mess with. How could you let him beat you?" The old man smiled and patted Chen Rufeng on the shoulder.

"That's right." Chen Rufeng smiled and shook his head, secretly glad that he didn't get into trouble.

"Young man, you seem to be in a hurry. Is there something wrong? Do you need help?" the old man asked curiously.

“Well, actually I’m looking for a house.” Chen Rufeng said hesitantly.
