Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Neighbors came to smell the fragrance, sat together, and laughed and talked. He Yuzhu looked at all this, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this was just the beginning, but as long as everyone worked together, the courtyard would definitely get better and better.

Liu Lan is no longer the rogue she once was. She begins to integrate into this big family and learns to think about others. Although she still makes some small mistakes occasionally, everyone is willing to give her a chance to make a fresh start.

In the dead of night, He Yuzhu sat in his room, flipping through the handwritten recipe book, his heart full of hope. Life in the courtyard was still peaceful, but he knew that this peace was hard-won. Everyone was working hard for this peace, and he would continue to contribute his strength to everyone's happy life.

Just as He Yuzhu was immersed in his thoughts, there was a knock on the door. He stood up, opened the door, and saw Liu Lan standing at the door with a piece of paper in her hand.

"Brother Yuzhu, this is the plan I wrote. I want to open a small vegetable stall with everyone's help and make some money to pay off everyone's debt." Liu Lan said in a low voice with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He Yuzhu took the plan from Liu Lan and read it carefully. It listed in detail the idea of ​​opening a small vegetable stall: from purchasing ingredients to stall layout, and even daily business hours and expected income and expenditure. Seeing Liu Lan's serious attitude, He Yuzhu felt a little surprised and relieved.

"This plan looks good, Liu Lan. You do have an idea." He Yuzhu nodded approvingly and handed back the plan.

Liu Lan took the plan with a hint of shyness and expectation on her face: "Actually, I was really bad before, always doing things that made people angry. But since you gave me the opportunity to correct my mistakes, I started to want to really change."

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Lan's sincere eyes and felt touched. He knew that this young woman was not evil-minded, but lacked the right guidance and opportunities. Perhaps, giving her a real development platform could help her turn over a new leaf.

"Liu Lan, you have to believe that as long as you work hard, everyone will support you." He Yuzhu encouraged.

Liu Lan nodded, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "Thank you, Brother Yuzhu. I will work hard."

At this moment, there was a noise in the yard. He Yuzhu and Liu Lan looked up and saw two young men arguing fiercely, surrounded by a circle of people watching.

"You bastard, it was obviously you who stole my phone!" One young man pointed at the other angrily.

"No, I didn't. You lost it yourself," the other one retorted angrily.

He Yuzhu frowned and walked over to mediate. Liu Lan looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing: "These two people are really a good show. Brother Yuzhu, do you want me to help you persuade them?"

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head: "You'd better not go, so as not to cause more trouble. I'll go and see what's going on."

He walked between the two young men, listened to both sides patiently, and tried to calm their emotions. This kind of small friction is not uncommon in the courtyard, but each time it needs to be resolved in time to avoid affecting everyone's life.

"Calm down first and take your time. You will definitely find the phone." He Yuzhu persuaded patiently.

Slowly, the two young men calmed down, and they began to discuss rationally, and even apologized to each other. The onlookers around them also gradually dispersed, and the yard returned to its usual tranquility.

Returning to Liu Lan, He Yuzhu sighed, "Young people, sometimes anger comes quickly and disappears quickly."

Liu Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes, thank you for helping them mediate. Brother Yuzhu, you are really good at resolving conflicts."

He Yuzhu shook his head modestly: "This is a small matter, it won't bother me. What's important is that everyone can live in harmony, so that life can be better."

Liu Lan looked at He Yuzhu quietly, her heart full of gratitude and admiration. He is not only a responsible big brother, but also the heart of the entire courtyard, and everyone relies on his wisdom and strength.

"Brother Yuzhu, I am really grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to correct my mistakes. I will definitely cherish it." Liu Lan said sincerely.

He Yuzhu patted Liu Lan on the shoulder and said, "There is still a long way to go. You have to persevere. Everyone will support you."

Life in the courtyard gradually returned to peace, and Liu Lan really began to work hard to run her small vegetable stall, getting up early every day to buy fresh ingredients from the market and put them in front of the courtyard gate. Although the business was not very good at first, she was not discouraged and continued to work hard.

On a sunny afternoon, He Yuzhu walked out of the room and prepared to go to the yard. When he reached the gate, he saw Liu Lan busy talking to a middle-aged man who looked serious.

"Brother Yuzhu, this is my uncle Liang Ladi." When Liu Lan saw He Yuzhu coming over, she took the initiative to introduce him.

He Yuzhu was slightly startled, and thought to himself: "So he is Liu Lan's relative? But looking at him, there seems to be something wrong."

"Uncle Liang, this is Brother He Yuzhu from our courtyard." Liu Lan continued to introduce.

Liang Ladi looked at He Yuzhu, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions: "Are you He Yuzhu? I heard that you are very prestigious here."

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and nodded politely: "Uncle Liang, you are so polite. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Liang Ladi's expression suddenly became serious: "I heard that you have made a rule here that all loans must be recorded in writing. I took a look and felt that this rule was a bit too harsh and not convenient for our Liu family."

Seeing this, Liu Lan quickly explained: "Uncle, this rule is for everyone's good. There will be no misunderstandings like before."

Liang Ladi was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something. He Yuzhu quietly waited for his answer, alert in his heart. The sudden appearance of Liang Ladi might bring new challenges to the Siheyuan.

"Brother He Yuzhu, I think this rule can still be negotiated." Liang Ladi finally spoke, with a hint of threat in his tone.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, and was prepared in his heart: "Uncle Liang, this rule was agreed upon by everyone, I can't change it unilaterally."

Facing Liang Ladi's attitude, He Yuzhu began to understand the other party's intentions. As a relative of Liu Lan, Liang Ladi was obviously here to fight for her interests. Although there was no direct threat in his words, the tough and uncompromising attitude revealed in his words made He Yuzhu feel a lot of pressure.
