Chapter 400 The light of joy.
Life in a courtyard is not just peaceful and comfortable. As time goes by, Su Ming has experienced many ups and downs, and his state of mind has gradually changed from the ignorance of a teenager to maturity. He has learned responsibility and commitment in this courtyard, and learned to take care of his family and himself.
"One winter morning, the courtyard was covered with a thin layer of white snow, and it was quiet and silent. Su Ming stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at the whiteness in front of him, and many emotions surged in his heart. He realized that this courtyard was not only a living space for him, but also a place for his emotions to rest and live."
There are many stories between neighbors in the courtyard. Grandparents sit in the courtyard to bask in the sun and talk about the past; children play and fight in the courtyard, chasing their dreams and hopes. Although life here is plain, it is also full of warmth and touching.
"One day, Su Ming was pruning the branches of an old locust tree in the yard, thinking about his future. He felt the bond between him and this courtyard, and was also thinking about where he should go. Perhaps, this ancient and beautiful courtyard is not only the source of his memories, but also the starting point of his journey."
In this courtyard, the years are peaceful and time flies. Su Ming experienced his youth here and also suffered the hardships of growing up. He learned to cherish, learn to let go, and learn to face every challenge and difficulty in life.
"Su Ming now stands in the center of the courtyard, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene around him. He knows that no matter how the future changes, this courtyard will always be a corner in his heart, carrying the footprints and memories of his youth."
The story of the future is still going on, and every moment in life is writing the legend of Su Ming. He will continue on the road ahead, carrying the warmth and determination of the courtyard, pursuing his own light and dream.
"Now, as night falls, the courtyard gradually becomes quiet, and twinkling lights twinkle in the night sky. Su Ming closes his eyes and feels it all. The dreams and hopes in his heart become more firm with the baptism of time. He knows that tomorrow's sun will still rise as scheduled, illuminating his way forward."
Deep in the alleys of old Beijing, an ancient and peaceful courtyard stands quietly. This is where Su Ming and his family live. Every bluestone slab in the courtyard bears the traces of time, and every piece of wood tells the story of the family. In the center of the courtyard stands a towering old locust tree with lush branches and leaves, which seems to be the soul of the entire courtyard.
Su Ming is the eldest son in the family, a delicate and introverted young man. He has a pair of smart eyes, which always reveal a thoughtful light. Since he was a child, he has been enveloped by the family tradition and responsibility, knowing that he will shoulder the responsibility of the family in the future.
"Brother, what are you doing?" In the yard, Su Ming's sister Huaihua came over with a curious look on her face, holding a fruit basket in her hand.
Su Ming put down the tools in his hand and said to Sophora japonica with a smile: "I am pruning the branches of the Sophora japonica tree to make it grow more luxuriant. You see, these branches are too messy and need to be tidied up."
Huaihua nodded obediently, put the basket on the ground, picked up a small saw with her little hands and imitated her brother's movements. Although she was young, she was full of love and curiosity for the courtyard at home.
Su Ming looked at Huaihua's serious look, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. She was the youngest child in the family, but like a tenacious Huaihua, she thrived in this courtyard.
"Brother, did you also prune branches with grandpa like this when you were a child?" Huaihua asked while sawing.
Su Ming smiled, squatted down and sat next to the tree with Sophora japonica. "Yes, when I was a child, I often followed my grandfather to work in the yard. My grandfather would tell me the story about the Sophora japonica tree, saying that the tree has been growing here for decades and has witnessed the rise and fall of our family."
Huaihua listened carefully to her brother's words, with curiosity and awe in her eyes. She imagined her grandfather's voice ringing in her ears, telling the legendary story about the locust tree.
Suddenly, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Su Ming's sister Huai Xiang and brother Huai Ye walked in. Huai Xiang was the eldest sister in the family, gentle and virtuous, and knew a lot about housework; Huai Ye was Su Ming's brother, sunny and cheerful, and good at getting along with others.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Huaixiang asked with a smile, walking to Huaihua and touching her hair.
Su Ming stood up and said happily, "We are pruning the locust tree, and the locust flowers are learning to help. You are back, is there anything going on?"
Huaiye smiled and patted Su Ming's shoulder: "Yes, we just came back from the market and brought some fresh vegetables and fruits. I heard that it is a good weather today. Everyone is in the yard. Why don't we prepare lunch together?"
"Okay, then let's work together. Huaihua, help me take the fruits in the basket to the kitchen, and the sisters and brothers will prepare the dishes together." Huaixiang said with a smile, pulling Huaihua's little hand and walking towards the kitchen.
In the courtyard, there was a bustling sound. Huaixiang and Huaiye were busy cutting and washing vegetables, while Su Ming was in charge of lighting the fire and cooking. A wisp of fragrance filled the entire courtyard.
"Brother, what have you been busy with recently?" Huaiye asked while cutting vegetables.
Su Ming stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "I have been thinking about a lot of things recently. Although our courtyard is small, it carries too many of our memories and emotions. I hope to take better care of this courtyard and make it a symbol of our family and pass it on."
Huaiye listened quietly, with a gleam of understanding in his eyes. He knew that his brother had many expectations and responsibilities in his heart, and hoped to pass on this family sentiment and tradition.
At lunchtime, a sumptuous meal was placed on the large round table in the yard. Huai Xiang carefully arranged the dishes, and each dish was the result of her careful preparation. Huai Ye and Su Ming chatted about family matters while tasting the delicious dishes, and laughter continued to emanate.
Huaihua sat at the table, her eyes sparkling with joy. She looked at the smiles of her brothers and sisters, and her heart was filled with warmth and happiness.
"Today's food is so delicious!" Huaihua said happily as she picked up the bowl of rice.
"Haha, this is all thanks to Huaixiang." Huaiye praised his sister with a smile and put a piece of meat into Huaihua's bowl.
Su Ming quietly watched the happy family scene, and an inexplicable satisfaction surged in his heart. This courtyard was not only a symbol of home, but also a testimony to the deep affection between them.
