Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

Senior Brother Li Jindou led Liu Lan through the bustling streets with brisk steps and came to the place where He Yuzhu was doing private work. This was an inconspicuous hut located on the edge of the city, surrounded by uneven eaves and busy market life. Inside the house, He Yuzhu was concentrating on the work in his hands, concentrating and serious.

"Zhuzi, what do you think of Liu Lan?" Senior Brother Li Jindou looked at He Yuzhu with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning. There was a hint of teasing in his words, as if he was setting a small test for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu heard this and looked up at Liu Lan who was standing next to the senior brother. At that moment, his eyes seemed to be attracted by some kind of magic and could no longer look away. Liu Lan had a curvy figure and wore a fitted dress that perfectly outlined her graceful curves. Her face was beautiful, like a flower blooming in spring, exuding a faint fragrance. He Yuzhu's throat couldn't help but feel dry. He swallowed and secretly marveled in his heart: There is such a beautiful woman in this world!

"Is that what you mean, Senior Brother?" He Yuzhu pretended to be calm, but the light in his eyes betrayed his inner turmoil. He had guessed a little bit of Senior Brother's intention, but still couldn't believe it was true.

Li Jindou laughed and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "Zhuzi, you are not young anymore, it's time to find a partner. The person I'm introducing to you is Liu Lan, what do you think?"

He Yuzhu was overjoyed when he heard this. He nodded vigorously and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning of happiness, and he felt very happy. He couldn't wait to get in touch with Liu Lan more and understand her inner world.

Finally, the work was done. He Yuzhu couldn't wait to take his senior brothers Li Jindou and Liu Lan to Bianyifang. This is a well-known roast duck restaurant, and the aroma in the restaurant is mouth-watering. They found a table and sat down. He Yuzhu greeted his senior brother and Liu Lan attentively to order dishes.

During the dinner, He Yuzhu and Liu Lan had a great conversation. They talked about their families, hobbies and future aspirations. He Yuzhu found that Liu Lan was not only beautiful in appearance, but also full of wisdom and kindness in heart. Her smile was like a spring breeze, which made He Yuzhu feel very warm and comfortable. Their topics ranged from trivial matters in life to ideals in life, and they both felt each other's sincerity and kindness.

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Lan's bright eyes, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart. He wanted to tell Liu Lan how he felt, but he was afraid that it would ruin this beautiful atmosphere. He hesitated, struggled, and finally chose to remain silent. He decided to let this feeling ferment slowly in his heart, and wait until the time was right to confess to Liu Lan.

After the dinner, the three of them walked out of Bian Yi Fang. It was already dark, and the dim light of the street lamps cast a mysterious veil on them. He Yuzhu reluctantly said goodbye to his senior brother and Li Jindou, watching their backs as they walked away. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this beautiful relationship could continue.

After returning to the cabin, He Yuzhu tossed and turned in bed. Liu Lan's figure and smile kept echoing in his mind. He felt as if he was being pulled by a mysterious force and could not resist walking into Liu Lan's world. He knew that his life was about to change because of Liu Lan's appearance.

In the following days, He Yuzhu and Liu Lan met frequently. They strolled together in the streets and alleys of the city, feeling each other's company and warmth. He Yuzhu found that he could no longer leave Liu Lan. Her existence made him feel extremely happy and satisfied. He began to plan how to confess his love to Liu Lan, hoping to get her response and recognition.

Finally one day, He Yuzhu plucked up the courage to confess to Liu Lan. With a nervous and expectant mood, he expressed his inner feelings into words. After hearing this, Liu Lan smiled gently. She looked at He Yuzhu's sincere eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She gently held He Yuzhu's hand and responded to his confession with a gentle voice.

At that moment, He Yuzhu was dumbfounded and ran hurriedly to find Liu Yi and his sister He Yushui.

He Yushui looked at Liu Lan with a happy smile on her face. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do. After Liu Yi talked with He Yuzhu, he was also happy for He Yuzhu. The two began to discuss the specific betrothal gifts and other matters of the wedding.

"Yuzhui, your wedding with Liu Lan must be a lively one!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Of course, I must let Liu Lan marry me in a grand manner."

"Do you have any ideas about the betrothal gift?" Liu Yi asked.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy some gold and silver jewelry for Liu Lan, and give her some money so that she can buy what she likes."

Liu Yi nodded and said, "That's fine. Liu Lan can choose according to her own preferences."

"By the way, when is the wedding date set?" Liu Yi asked.

He Yuzhu said: "I want to schedule it for next month, so I have more time."

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's get ready!"

He Yuzhu and Liu Yi started to get busy, they had to do a lot of preparations for the wedding. Although it was very hard, their hearts were filled with happiness and expectations.

He Yuzhu found Liu Lan and told her what he wanted. He hoped that Liu Lan could help him buy some gold and silver, or give him some money directly. However, Liu Lan disagreed with his proposal. She said that she did not need gold and silver, nor did she want money. She only hoped to give her parents some food and meat for the banquet.

He Yuzhu was touched after hearing Liu Lan's words. He knew that Liu Lan was a filial daughter and her parents must be very good to her. He also knew that Liu Lan's family was not rich and she usually lived frugally just to give her parents a good life.

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to agree to Liu Lan's request. He took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Liu Lan. He said, "Take this money and buy some delicious food for your parents." Liu Lan took the money and looked at He Yuzhu gratefully. She said, "Thank you, Zhuzi. You are such a good person." He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't say that. We are friends."

Liu Lan took the money and went to the market. She bought some grain and meat, as well as some fruits and vegetables. She returned home and gave the things to her parents. Her parents were very happy to see that she had bought so many things. They asked Liu Lan where these things came from, and Liu Lan said that He Yuzhu gave them to her. After hearing this, they were filled with gratitude to He Yuzhu.

The next day, He Yuzhu and Liu Yi rode a tricycle with 300 kilograms of flour and 30 kilograms of pork belly to Liu Lan's house to propose marriage.

Brother Liu Lan glanced at He Yuzhu and said that he must be given a small courtyard. For the sake of his brother-in-law Liu Yi, he agreed to this unreasonable request. Everyone was happy, and Brother Liu Lan left triumphantly.

However, He Yuzhu was filled with reluctance and helplessness. He knew that this small courtyard was the hard work of his brother-in-law Liu Yi and the home he left for his future nephew. But for Liu Yi, he had to make this difficult decision.

A few days later, Liu Lan's brother moved into the courtyard with his family. They renovated the courtyard and turned it into their own paradise. He Yuzhu watched them laughing and talking happily in the courtyard, feeling mixed emotions.
