Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Back in the house, He Yudong continued to study hard. He knew that his future could not depend on others, and only by studying hard could he change his fate. In the dead of night, the lights in He Yudong's room were still bright, and his hair was pulled by a rope, and the pain reminded him not to slack off.

A few months later, the day of the exam finally arrived. He Yudong got up early and walked out of the room with his books and pen. The neighbors in the yard were cheering him on.

"He Yudong, come on, you will definitely pass the exam!" Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"He Yudong, relax, don't be nervous, we all support you." Liu Haizhong patted his shoulder.

He Yudong said gratefully: "Thank you everyone, I will do my best."

In the examination room, He Yudong answered the questions attentively. He knew that this opportunity was hard-won and he must seize it. After the exam, he returned home, full of anticipation and anxiety.

A month later, the test results were announced. He Yudong couldn't wait to check his results. When he saw his name on the admission list, he almost jumped up with excitement. He was finally admitted to his ideal university, and his heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

He Yudong returned home with the admission letter, and the neighbors were all happy for him. Qin Huairu smiled and said, "He Yudong, congratulations, you finally got what you wanted!"

Yi Zhonghai also nodded approvingly, "He Yudong, your efforts during this period have not been in vain. We are all proud of you."

Although Yan Bugui didn't say anything, he showed a rare smile on his face. He Yudong knew that although Yan Bugui was sometimes a headache, he was still happy for his success.

He Yudong's life has entered a new stage. He must not only continue to study hard, but also maintain a good relationship with his neighbors. Although the future is full of unknowns and challenges, he believes that as long as he perseveres, he will surely usher in a better tomorrow.

University life began, He Yudong was busy between classrooms, libraries and laboratories every day, and his efforts and intelligence were soon recognized by professors and classmates. Although he left the compound, he always had his heart there and often went back to visit his neighbors.

One day, He Yudong returned to the compound and found a lively party going on in the yard. It turned out that the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had reconciled, and everyone was celebrating this rare moment.

"He Yudong, come on, let's have a drink together." Liu Guangtian greeted him warmly.

He Yudong walked over with a smile, "Okay, what's the good day today that makes everyone so happy?"

Liu Guangfu smiled and said, "He Yudong, my two brothers have finally reached an agreement and decided to start a small business together. All the previous conflicts have been resolved, thanks to your advice."

He Yudong smiled with relief and said, "That's great. It's more important than anything else that we all live in harmony."

Qin Huairu came over with a plate of food, "He Yudong, come back and stay a few more days this time, everyone misses you."

He Yudong nodded, "Okay, I miss you all too, so I'll stay a few more days this time."

At night, He Yudong sat with his neighbors, chatting and laughing. Although life is not always smooth, He Yudong feels extremely happy at such moments. He knows that no matter how difficult the future may be, with the company of these sincere neighbors and friends, he will be able to overcome all difficulties.

As time went by, He Yudong achieved excellent results in college and won the respect and love of his neighbors in the compound. Wherever he went, he carried this warmth and strength with him and continued to pursue his dream.

He Yudong stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the busy crowd in the courtyard, and couldn't help but hesitate. This was the first time he moved out of his home, leaving the small town in the south and coming to this ancient city to work and live. The people in the courtyard welcomed him warmly, and everyone had a friendly smile on their face.

"He Yudong, come, come, don't be polite, come in and sit down." Qin Huairu stood in the middle of the yard and greeted He Yudong with a smile on her face.

He Yudong nodded and walked into the yard. He looked around and saw several familiar faces. Qin Huairu was standing next to her son Banggeng and her mother-in-law Jia Zhangshi, Yan Bugui was chatting with Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong was watching the children playing, the deaf old lady was sitting in the corner of the yard basking in the sun, and Yan Jiecheng was busy tidying up the tables and chairs.

"He Yudong, try this tofu. I just bought it from the market. It's very fresh." Qin Huairu enthusiastically handed a plate of tofu to He Yudong.

"Thank you, thank you, you're so polite." He Yudong took the tofu and responded politely.

"Here, the most important thing is mutual help among neighbors. You just moved in, if you need any help, just let me know." Yan Bugui smiled and patted He Yudong's shoulder.

"Yes, yes, He Yudong, if you have any problems in the future, just come to us, don't be polite." Yi Zhonghai echoed.

"Thank you everyone, I will remember it." He Yudong said gratefully.

Just when everyone was chatting and laughing, Bang Geng suddenly ran over and grabbed He Yudong's hand: "Brother He Yudong, will you play marbles with me?"

He Yudong looked at Banggeng's expectant eyes, smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go over there and play."

Qin Huairu felt relieved when she saw He Yudong and Banggeng playing happily in a corner of the yard. She knew that He Yudong was a good person and a friend worth making. She secretly made up her mind to get along well with He Yudong's family and establish a deep friendship.

As the days in the courtyard passed, He Yudong gradually integrated into this big family. Every morning, he would go to the vegetable market with Liu Haizhong to buy vegetables; in the afternoon, he would repair the old furniture in the courtyard with Yan Jiecheng; in the evening, he would play chess and chat with Yi Zhonghai, listening to the stories of old Beijing.

"He Yudong, your craftsmanship is really good. This furniture is repaired to look like new." Yan Jiecheng praised.

"No, no, I just learned the basics." He Yudong answered modestly.

One night, He Yudong and everyone were sitting in the courtyard chatting. Qin Huairu suddenly mentioned Jia Dongxu, another resident of the courtyard.

"Dongxu has not been in good health recently, and his family is in some difficulties. It's really worrying." Qin Huairu sighed.

"Yes, Jia Dongxu is a good person, but he has a hard life." Yan Bugui also sighed.

He Yudong was touched after hearing this. He decided to go see Jia Dongxu the next day to see if he could help.

The next morning, He Yudong knocked on Jia Dongxu's door. Jia Zhang opened the door and was surprised to see He Yudong: "He Yudong, why are you here?"

"I heard that Dongxu was not feeling well, so I came to see him." He Yudong said with a smile.

Jia Zhang made way for He Yudong to come in. The room was simple and tidy, Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed, looking pale.

"Dongxu, how do you feel?" He Yudong asked with concern.

Jia Dongxu forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little weak."

"He Yudong, thank you so much for coming to see Dongxu specially." Jia Zhang said gratefully.

"It's only natural. We are neighbors after all." He Yudong sat down and started chatting with Jia Zhang about family matters.

From that day on, He Yudong often visited Jia Dongxu and helped take care of him. Qin Huairu's family also sent some food from time to time. Seeing how kind-hearted He Yudong was, the neighbors in the courtyard praised him as a good person.

"He Yudong, you are such a good boy for taking such good care of Dongxu." The deaf old lady said to He Yudong.

"Yes, with He Yudong here, our courtyard is becoming more and more harmonious." Liu Haizhong also said.

He Yudong smiled and nodded: "We are all family, and we should care about each other."

The days passed peacefully, and He Yudong gradually found a sense of home in the courtyard. He got along better and better with Qin Huairu's family, and was even called "Brother He Yudong" by many people. Qin Huairu's gratitude to He Yudong also deepened day by day. She felt that He Yudong was not only a good neighbor, but also more like her relative.

"He Yudong, let's go shopping together today. I know a really good place." Banggeng said to He Yudong excitedly.

"Okay, let's go." He Yudong agreed readily.

The two walked and talked, and unknowingly came to a small park. Banggeng pointed to the bench in front and said, "Brother He Yudong, let's sit there and rest for a while."

He Yudong nodded, and the two sat down. Banggeng suddenly asked, "Brother He Yudong, why did you move to our courtyard?"

He Yudong was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I don't have any relatives in my hometown in the south, so I wanted to come here to have a look and find a new start."

Bang Geng nodded thoughtfully: "Have you found a new family?"

He Yudong smiled: "Well, I found it. You are my family."

Bang Geng heard this and smiled happily: "Then we are a family from now on!"

Time flies, and He Yudong's days in the courtyard are becoming more and more fulfilling. His relationship with his neighbors is getting closer and closer, and everyone regards him as their own family. He Yudong also found his belonging and the feeling of home in this warm land.

One weekend night, the courtyard was full of people, sitting around, chatting and enjoying the coolness of the summer night.

"He Yudong, I heard that you can sing, sing a song for us." Yan Bugui suggested.

He Yudong smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll show off my ugliness."

He cleared his throat and began to sing an old Beijing folk song. His clear voice echoed in the yard, and everyone was attracted by his singing and applauded.

"He Yudong, you sing so well!" Qin Huairu praised. "I am really happy to be with you guys." He Yudong said sincerely.

At this time, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also joined in, bringing their own homemade rice wine. Everyone drank and chatted, and the yard was filled with laughter.

"He Yudong, you are really the lucky star of our courtyard. With you around, our lives are more enjoyable." Liu Haizhong said with emotion.
