Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

"Good evening, how can I help you?" A girl in a florist's uniform came over and asked with a smile.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I want to buy some flowers, something delicate."

The girl nodded, and then led He Yuzhu to the corner of the flower shop, where various bouquets and flower baskets were displayed.

He Yuzhu carefully selected each flower, hoping to choose the most beautiful bouquet to give Lin Xiaomu a surprise.

In the flower shop, He Yuzhu felt a warm and joyful atmosphere. He felt that this special day became more special and memorable because of these beautiful flowers.

In the kitchen of the courtyard, He Yuzhu kneaded the dough carefully, preparing for tomorrow's breakfast. Although today is a special day, life still needs to go on, and he needs to work hard for the future of himself and Lin Xiaomu.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through He Yuzhu's mind. He remembered the big pancakes he was good at making. These big pancakes were very popular in the restaurant in the courtyard, and they were sold out every time they were made. So he decided to use this skill to set up a street stall to sell big pancakes and make some extra money.

A few hours later, He Yuzhu placed a large pile of freshly baked dough cakes on a cart and prepared to set up a street stall. He was full of anticipation and excitement because this was his first time trying to sell food on the street and he hoped to gain something.

Walking out of the courtyard, He Yuzhu pushed his cart to the busy street and began his journey of setting up a stall. Pedestrians came and went on the street, breathing the fresh air and feeling the bustle and vitality of the city.

"Big pancakes! Freshly baked big pancakes! Come and try them!" He Yuzhu shouted loudly, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Gradually, some people stopped and walked over to look at He Yuzhu's cart curiously.

"What is this? It looks delicious!" a young man asked curiously.

He Yuzhu smiled and explained: "This is a big pancake I made. It is filled with various delicious fillings. It is very delicious. You can try it."

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help swallowing his saliva, then took out money to buy a large pancake and tasted it. His expression immediately became happy, and he nodded with satisfaction: "It's really delicious! I want another piece!"

He Yuzhu smiled happily, handed a large pancake to the young man, and then took the money. He was filled with satisfaction and pride because his hard work paid off and he knew that the path he had chosen was the right one.

While setting up a street stall, He Yuzhu constantly attracted the attention of passers-by, and his business became more and more prosperous. He felt the praise and support from customers, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

After a long day of selling big noodle cakes, He Yuzhu felt a little tired physically, but full of satisfaction and joy in his heart. He tidied up his stall, packed up his cart, and then decided to buy himself something to eat and relax.

Walking out onto the street, He Yuzhu strolled through the bustling night market. The streets were brightly lit, and the shop doors were filled with all kinds of delicious food, exuding tempting aromas.

He Yuzhu smelled the fragrance in the air and walked towards a snack stand with some anticipation. He ordered a skewer and a bowl of steaming rice noodles, then sat down in a corner and prepared to enjoy this sumptuous dinner.

The streets were very lively at night, with people coming and going, laughing and talking. He Yuzhu sat there quietly, savoring the food in his hand, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

He looked at the passers-by and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart. Life is so colorful, everyone is working hard for their dreams and goals, and every effort deserves respect and praise.

"Hey brother, are you eating here alone?" A stranger came over and greeted him in a friendly manner.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm alone."

The stranger smiled and sat next to He Yuzhu: "I'm alone too, why don't we eat together."

He Yuzhu readily agreed, and the two began chatting. They talked about life, work, dreams, and shared each other's stories and experiences. Although it was their first meeting, they had endless topics to talk about, as if they were old friends.

In the company of strangers, He Yuzhu's mood became relaxed and happy. He felt the warmth of friendship and the importance of companionship, and his heart was full of expectations and confidence for the future.

Gradually, the night became deeper and the bustle of the street gradually subsided. He Yuzhu and the stranger finished the sumptuous dinner together, then said goodbye to each other and returned to their own lives.

He Yuzhu walked back to the courtyard along the familiar street, feeling happy and satisfied. He felt that he had a fulfilling day today. Not only did he bring a surprise to Lin Xiaomu, but he also met new friends and experienced the fun of setting up a street stall. Now, he wanted to buy himself some maltose, relax, and reminisce everything that happened today.

Arriving at the door of a snack bar, He Yuzhu smelled the sweet smell of maltose and was excited. He pushed open the door and walked into the store, where he saw maltose of various colors and shapes on the counter, which was extremely tempting.

"Good evening, what can I do for you?" the waiter asked with a smile.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I want some maltose."

The clerk immediately took out a piece of golden maltose and handed it to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu took the maltose, feeling the warmth and sweetness in his hands, and his mood could not help but become happy.

He found a corner to sit down and slowly tasted the maltose. The sweet taste melted in his mouth, bringing him a feeling of happiness. He closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed this moment of tranquility, recalling everything that happened today, his heart was filled with emotion and satisfaction.

"Brother, can you sit with me?" A gentle voice interrupted He Yuzhu's thoughts.

He Yuzhu raised his head and saw a strange girl standing in front of him with soft and warm eyes.

"Of course." He Yuzhu smiled and motioned the girl to sit down.

The girl sat opposite He Yuzhu and said with a smile: "I saw you sitting here alone, so I came over to say hello to you."

He Yuzhu nodded gratefully: "Thank you, I just bought a piece of maltose and want to enjoy it quietly by myself."

The girl smiled, with a warm light in her eyes: "You can be happy alone, but sometimes it is more joyful to share with others."

He Yuzhu was moved by the girl's words. He realized that he is not lonely in life. As long as he has a common heart, he will always meet like-minded people.
