Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

In the blink of an eye, it was the cold winter. Liu Yi saw that his neighbors were short of coal, so he asked them to come to his yard to get it without hesitation. His yard was full of coal in the utility room, which he prepared for the winter. However, he knew that his neighbors were in a more difficult situation than him, so he decided to help them.

The neighbors were very moved when they heard Liu Yi's invitation. They came to Liu Yi's yard and took some coal. Liu Yi was very happy to see their smiles. He knew that although the coal taken by the neighbors was not much, it could help them get through this cold winter.

There were several families living in the back house of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Among them, Uncle Niu took the most coal from Liu Yi's house, but he was not grateful at all. Instead, he was jealous of Liu Yi's rich coal reserves. The more Uncle Niu thought about it, the angrier he got. Why did Liu Yi's family have so much coal, but he didn't! ...

Uncle Niu was a man who loved to take advantage of others. When he saw that Liu Yi's family had a lot of coal piled up like a mountain, he came up with a plan to "borrow" some coal to get through the cold winter. So he gathered his relatives and went to Liu Yi's house in a mighty way, intending to use the power of numbers to forcefully "borrow" coal.

Liu Yi was an honest man. When he saw Uncle Niu and a group of people coming to his yard, he knew what they were here for. He frowned and said to Uncle Niu, "Uncle Niu, what do you mean? My family also worked hard to buy coal, how can you lend it to others casually?"

Uncle Niu said with disdain: "Ah, Liu Yi, you are wrong. We are all neighbors, and we should help each other. You see, my family doesn't have enough coal, can't you lend me some?"

Liu Yi was even more unhappy after hearing this. He knew Uncle Niu's character. If he lent out the coal, he might never get it back. So he said firmly: "Uncle Niu, I won't lend you my coal. If you really need it, I can buy some for you, but I can't give it away for free."

When Uncle Niu heard this, his face turned very ugly. He never thought that Liu Yi would be so determined. So he relied on his large number of people to force his way into Liu Yi's house to take the coal. But Liu Yi saw this situation and did not back down at all. He directly blocked the door and refused to let Uncle Niu and his relatives in.

In this way, the two pushed and shoved at the door, neither of them gave in, and the situation became more and more chaotic. After hearing the noise, other residents in the courtyard rushed over to see what happened. When they learned what happened, they expressed dissatisfaction with Uncle Niu's behavior and stood on Liu Yi's side, demanding that Uncle Niu take his relatives away.

But Uncle Niu completely ignored the accusations of these people and continued to do what he wanted. He wanted to continue arguing with Liu Yi and even wanted to hit him. However, Liu Yi was not someone to be bullied. Although he was alone, he was very skilled and agile, and he quickly subdued Uncle Niu and his relatives.

Uncle Niu had no choice but to leave with his relatives in disgrace. He kept cursing as he walked away, but Liu Yi didn't care what he said at all. Because Liu Yi knew that he had successfully protected his rights and interests and made Uncle Niu suffer. In the future, Uncle Niu should not dare to provoke him easily again.

In the evening, He Yuzhu and his friends came back from cooking and learned about what happened in Liu Yi's house. They all came to see what was going on. So Liu Yi asked his brothers to have a good gathering at home. …

Liu Yi looked at the table full of food and wine, and his heart was filled with joy. He invited a group of good friends to his home for a dinner party, hoping to have a good time. While tasting the delicious dishes, everyone talked about interesting things in life and laughed continuously.

Before they knew it, several bottles of wine had been drunk, and everyone's faces were flushed. Liu Yi was also a little drunk, but he kept pouring wine for his brothers, hoping that everyone could enjoy the drink.

"Come on, brothers, let's drink this glass!" Liu Yi raised his glass and said loudly.

"Okay, let's drink it!" Everyone responded and drank it all in one gulp.

As time went on, everyone became more and more drunk and their speech became unclear. Some people even started talking nonsense, which made everyone laugh.

"We're so happy today. I haven't had such a good drink in a long time." said a brother.

"Yes, Liu Yi, thank you for your hospitality." Another brother continued.

Liu Yi was deeply moved after hearing this. He knew that these brothers were his closest people and the feelings between them could not be expressed in words.

"Okay, everyone stop drinking. I'll go make you some tea to help you sober up." Liu Yi said, standing up and walking towards the kitchen.

Not long after, Liu Yi came out with a pot of steaming hot tea. He carefully placed the pot on the table, then took out the teacups and filled them for the brothers one by one. Every movement seemed particularly gentle, as if he was protecting a precious treasure.

Finally, Liu Yi poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, feeling the warm tea aroma spreading in his mouth. He sat quietly aside, looking at his brothers gently, with a faint smile on his lips.

At this moment, everyone's drunkenness has gradually dissipated, replaced by a peaceful and warm atmosphere. They sit around the table, their faces filled with satisfied and happy smiles. Everyone is immersed in this warm emotion, recalling the past bits and pieces, and feeling the rapid passage of time.

"Brothers, we must cherish this deep friendship. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we must face them together." Liu Yi said softly, his voice revealing firmness and persistence.

"Okay! We definitely will!" Everyone nodded in response, their eyes flashing with cherishment and commitment to friendship.

It was late at night, the moonlight was pouring down on the earth, and the stars dotted the night sky. In this quiet night, the brothers confided their innermost thoughts to each other and shared their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in life.

As time went by, everyone felt a little tired, but in a very good mood. Liu Yi looked at the backs of his brothers leaving one by one, and his heart was filled with reluctance. He knew that tonight's gathering would become an indelible and beautiful memory in their hearts.
