Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Bang Geng waved his hand excitedly: "Brother Zhu, let's go to the nearby park for a walk! The scenery there is beautiful and can help you relax."

He Yuzhu nodded and followed Banggeng out of the courtyard. As he stepped onto the street, he felt his mood begin to relax, as if he was infected by Banggeng's vitality.

Along the way, Banggeng kept chatting with He Yuzhu, telling him about recent interesting things and interesting observations. His lively and cheerful personality made He Yuzhu feel very happy. Gradually, he began to forget his previous troubles and devoted himself to the communication with Banggeng.

They walked into the park. The fresh air and tree-lined roads made people feel peaceful and comfortable. He Yuzhu took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air filling his lungs, and his mood suddenly became brighter.

"Brother Zhu, look, there is a group of birds over there!" Banggeng pointed ahead excitedly with a look of surprise on his face.

He Yuzhu followed Banggeng over there and saw a group of birds dancing happily on the branches. He couldn't help but smile, his heart filled with awe and beauty of life.

"It's so beautiful!" He Yuzhu exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with joy.

Bang Geng looked at He Yuzhu's smile and felt very satisfied: "Yes, Brother Zhu, life is always full of beautiful things, we just need to discover them with our heart."

They strolled in the park for a long time, enjoying the harmony and tranquility. He Yuzhu felt the healing and comfort of his soul, as if all his troubles were dissipated bit by bit.

As the sun gradually set, they slowly returned to the courtyard. He Yuzhu was filled with satisfaction and gratitude for this outing. He thanked Banggeng for giving him a happy and fulfilling afternoon, allowing him to find the joy and meaning of life again.

After returning home, He Yuzhu felt that his mood had completely relaxed. He decided to spend more time with his friends and enjoy the good times in life. At the same time, he should cherish his mind and body more and keep his heart calm and strong.

After returning to the courtyard, He Yuzhu seemed to be in a much better mood than before he left, but he was still a little uneasy deep down. This uneasiness came from the complexity of his work, life, and interpersonal relationships. Although the time in the park made him forget his troubles temporarily, when he returned to reality, the problems still existed.

At night, He Yuzhu sat in his small room, the desk lamp in front of him emitting a soft light. He flipped through the messy account books on the table, and couldn't help feeling anxious. Although he had a stable job, the income was not high, and the pressure of life still made him feel breathless. Recently, Qin Huairu's loan problem and Xu Damao's unpaid promises, all these things tested his patience and trust.

"When will these things come to an end?" He Yuzhu sighed inwardly. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down, but his thoughts became more and more chaotic. He suddenly felt that he seemed to be trapped in a quagmire from which he could not extricate himself. Every effort and struggle brought him more troubles and confusion.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door, interrupting He Yuzhu's thoughts. He got up and opened the door, and saw Banggeng standing at the door with a concerned expression on his face.

"Brother Zhu, are you okay?" Bang Geng asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

He Yuzhu forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little tired. Come in and sit down."

Bang Geng walked into the room and saw the account book on the table. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Zhu, are you in trouble? Do you want my help?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "No, Banggeng, I can handle these things myself. You don't have to worry."

Bang Geng sighed: "Brother Zhu, we are friends. If we have any difficulties, we should face them together. If you don't tell me, I can't help you."

He Yuzhu looked at Banggeng's sincere eyes and felt warm in his heart. He knew that Banggeng really cared about him, but he felt that there were some things that he still needed to face alone.

"Banggeng, I'm really fine. It's just that there have been a lot of things at work and in life recently, which makes me feel a little tired. Don't worry, I will adjust myself." He Yuzhu tried his best to make his voice sound firm.

Bang Geng nodded. Although he was still a little uneasy, he didn't say anything more: "Okay, Brother Zhu, if you need any help, please let me know at any time."

He Yuzhu nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Banggeng. I appreciate your concern."

After seeing Banggen off, He Yuzhu sat alone at the table, his thoughts returning to those unsolved problems. He knew he needed to make some changes, but he didn't know where to start. The pressure of work, the complexity of interpersonal relationships, and the trivialities of life all made him feel exhausted.

The next morning, He Yuzhu got up and decided to go out for a walk to relax. He walked aimlessly along the street, trying to make his thoughts clearer. People on the street were busy, and life seemed to be going on as usual.

He Yuzhu suddenly stopped at the entrance of a small alley. He saw a familiar figure - Xu Damao. Xu Damao was talking to a stranger in a low voice, looking a little nervous. He Yuzhu was moved and stood aside to observe.

"Xu Damao, when will you pay me back the money you promised?" The stranger's voice was low and threatening.

Xu Damao seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Give me some more time, I will definitely pay it back."

The stranger snorted coldly: "You'd better do what you say, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Watching this scene, He Yuzhu felt a complicated feeling in his heart. He suddenly understood Xu Damao's situation. Perhaps he was in a more difficult situation than he had imagined. Although Xu Damao owed him money, he was also trying to solve his own problems. This made He Yuzhu feel a little relieved, but also made him more determined to help his friend overcome the difficulties.

He Yuzhu walked forward and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder: "Damo, let's go have a cup of tea together."

Xu Damao was startled by He Yuzhu's sudden appearance, but then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhuzi, why is it you? Okay, okay, let's go have tea."

The two came to a small teahouse and ordered two cups of hot tea. He Yuzhu looked directly at Xu Damao, with concern in his tone: "Damo, I just saw you talking to that person, what happened?"

Xu Damao smiled bitterly and sighed: "Zhu Zi, I know you have been waiting for me to pay back the money, but I have been in some difficulties recently and owe a lot of people money."
