Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

He Yudong smiled and said, "Dongxu, no matter what difficulties you encounter, remember that we are all your friends. If you need any help, just let me know."

Jia Dongxu said gratefully: "Brother He Yudong, you are such a good person. I will remember your words and keep working hard."

He Yudong felt warm in his heart. He knew that helping others was not only for others, but also for himself. In the process of helping others, he felt more happiness and satisfaction.

One day, He Yudong met the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu in the factory lounge. Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "Brother He Yudong, I heard that you have organized a lot of activities in the courtyard recently, and everyone likes it very much."

He Yudong smiled and said, "Yes, if we do something meaningful together, our life will be more colorful."

Liu Guangfu nodded: "Brother He Yudong, you are really our role model. We also want to learn from you and do more meaningful things."

He Yudong encouraged: "Guangtian, Guangfu, you can do it too. As long as you are determined and work hard together, your life will definitely get better and better."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Brother He Yudong. We will work hard."

He Yudong looked at the two brothers and felt satisfied. He knew that only by working together could we create a better life.

They build their home together, help each other in life, support each other in work, and the atmosphere of the courtyard is getting better and better.

One day, He Yudong ran into Yan Jiecheng in the yard. Yan Jiecheng seemed to be a little worried recently, so He Yudong asked with concern: "Jiecheng, what's wrong with you recently? You seem a little absent-minded."

Yan Jiecheng sighed: "Brother He Yudong, I have encountered some problems in the factory recently, and I always feel very stressed."

He Yudong patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder and said, "Jiecheng, pressure at work is inevitable. You must learn to adjust your mindset and find ways to solve problems."

Yan Jiecheng nodded: "Brother He Yudong, thank you for your advice. I will try to adjust my mentality."

He Yudong was in a very good mood after watching the movie. On his way home, he passed by the market and saw fresh beef hanging on the stall. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't treated himself well for a long time. He Yudong walked up to the stall owner and said with a smile: "Boss, cut me two kilograms of good beef."

The stall owner smiled and replied, "Brother He Yudong, I haven't seen you buy anything in a long time. What's good for you today?"

He Yudong took the beef, paid the bill, and replied with a smile: "I just watched a good movie, and I'm in a good mood. I want to buy something good to reward myself."

The stall owner nodded and praised: "No wonder, Brother He Yudong, you are a person who understands life!"

He Yudong smiled and waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the market exit. In front of a tobacco shop at the market entrance, he hesitated for a moment, but finally pushed the door and walked in. He picked up a bottle of Moutai, thinking to himself: "I haven't had it for a long time, so I'll have a couple of drinks today to reward myself."

When he returned to the courtyard, He Yudong saw that the lights were still on in the yard and several neighbors were chatting together. He walked over and said hello: "Are you all still awake?"

Qin Huairu looked up and saw He Yudong, and said with a smile: "Brother He Yudong, you are back. We were just talking about movies."

Liu Haizhong also came over: "Brother He Yudong, what good things did you buy?"

He Yudong raised the beef and Maotai in his hand and said with a smile: "Beef, Maotai, I'm in a good mood today, let's buy some good things and have a couple of drinks when I get home."

The neighbors all expressed their envy, and Yi Zhonghai even joked: "He Yudong, you are living a very comfortable life."

He Yudong smiled and waved his hands: "Don't just blame me, I'll make some beef tomorrow and we can drink it together."

The neighbors expressed their anticipation. He Yudong said goodbye to everyone with a smile and returned to his house.

The room was warm and quiet. He Yudong put down his things and went to the kitchen to work. He cut the beef into thin slices and marinated it with soy sauce, cooking wine and ginger, ready to fry it tomorrow. After finishing all this, he opened Maotai and poured two glasses, one for himself and one on the table, as if to toast his hard work during this period.

"Brother He Yudong, you've been very popular recently." He Yudong smiled at the air, raised his glass and talked to himself.

Just as he was about to drink his second cup, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He Yudong was stunned, wondering who would come to see him so late. He put down his glass, walked over to open the door, and found that it was Qin Huairu standing outside the door, holding a plate of side dishes in her hand.

"Brother He Yudong, I know you just bought some wine. I just happen to have some snacks here. Bring them over and let's drink together." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

He Yudong felt warm in his heart and smiled as he opened the door: "Okay, Sister Huairu, it happens that I am bored drinking alone, so come and chat with me."

The two sat at the table, and He Yudong poured a glass of wine for Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu raised her glass and said with a smile: "Brother He Yudong, toast to you, you have helped us a lot recently."

He Yudong smiled and clinked glasses with her: "Sister Huairu, we are all neighbors, and we should help each other."

The two took a sip of wine, Qin Huairu put down the glass and said, "Brother He Yudong, I have always wanted to say thank you to you. I have seen your concern for Banggeng during this period. This child has lost his father, fortunately he has a good neighbor like you."

He Yudong waved his hands and said sincerely: "Sister Huairu, Banggeng is a good kid. He just lacks the right guidance. I am willing to help him because I hope he can get on the right path."

Qin Huairu's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at He Yudong gratefully: "Brother He Yudong, you are such a good person. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how to take care of him."

He Yudong was also somewhat touched. He raised his glass and said, "Sister Huairu, let's not talk about this anymore. We are happy today. Come, let's have another drink."

The two continued to drink and chat. Qin Huairu mentioned the plot in the movie: "Brother He Yudong, you said that Ashima turned into a rainbow in the end, it was so beautiful."

He Yudong nodded: "Yes, Ashima's story made me feel a kind of tenacity and beauty. We also need such a spirit in our lives."

Qin Huairu said with deep feeling: "Brother He Yudong, you can always see through the essence of things. It is a blessing for us to have a friend like you in life."

He Yudong smiled and said, "Sister Huairu, only by helping each other can we make life better. You are also a part of the Siheyuan. Let's work together to make this home better."

The two drank and talked for a long time. Qin Huairu looked at the time, stood up and said, "Brother He Yudong, it's late, I'm going back first. You should also go to bed early, you have to go to work tomorrow."

He Yudong nodded and walked her to the door: "Okay, Sister Huairu, you should also go to bed early. We will eat beef together tomorrow."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Brother He Yudong, see you tomorrow."

He Yudong watched her leave, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He closed the door, went back to the house, tidied the table, and then lay on the bed, thinking about everything today. He knew that with so many people who cared about him in the courtyard, his life would get better and better.

The next day, He Yudong got up early and prepared to cook beef. He put the marinated beef in a hot pan and stir-fried it, and the aroma filled the air. Just as he was busy and happy, Liu Haizhong's voice came from outside the door: "Brother He Yudong, good morning! Are you cooking so early?"

He Yudong smiled and replied, "Brother Haizhong, you're just in time. I'm going to make beef today. Let's eat together."

Liu Haizhong smelled the fragrance and grinned, "Brother He Yudong, your cooking skills are getting better and better. I'll call everyone over to eat together."

Soon, Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and others came. Everyone sat around the table, and He Yudong served the fried beef. Everyone was immediately attracted by the aroma and praised it.

Qin Huairu picked up a piece of beef, put it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up: "Brother He Yudong, this beef is so delicious!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded and praised: "He Yudong, it's a pity that you don't open a restaurant with your cooking skills."

He Yudong smiled and waved his hand: "As long as everyone likes to eat, let's enjoy the food together."

Yan Bugui raised his glass and said, "He Yudong, let's have a drink to celebrate your cooking skills and our friendship!"

Everyone raised their glasses: "Cheers!"

After three rounds of drinks, everyone talked about interesting things in life. Liu Haizhong mentioned the situation in the factory: "Brother He Yudong, the factory is considering upgrading technology recently, and may introduce some new equipment. As a technical backbone, do you have any suggestions?"

He Yudong put down his glass and said seriously: "Brother Haizhong, the introduction of new equipment is a good thing, but we must ensure that the operators are properly trained. Otherwise, no matter how good the new equipment is, it will cause problems if it is not operated properly."

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Brother He Yudong, you are right. I will bring your suggestions to the factory leaders."

Qin Huairu interrupted and said, "Brother He Yudong, you are always so careful. It is a blessing for the factory to have an employee like you."

He Yudong smiled and waved his hand: "We are all doing this for the future of the factory. We must work together to do a better job."

At this time, Jia Dongxu also came over: "Brother He Yudong, I heard that you watched Ashima last night. How was the movie?"

He Yudong nodded: "The movie is very good, the story is touching, and it is well shot. You can go and see it when you have time."

Jia Dongxu hesitated a little: "Brother He Yudong, I've been under a lot of work pressure recently and I'm in a bad mood. I'm afraid I can't watch it."

He Yudong patted his shoulder and said, "Dongxu, movies can help people relax and think about problems from a different perspective. You can try it and relax yourself."

Jia Dongxu nodded gratefully: "Brother He Yudong, you are right. I will find time to go and have a look."

The lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere. He knew that the Siheyuan was not just a place to live, but also a place where everyone lived, worked and shared together.
