Chapter 337-1 Let's go to the airport to pick her up
As the night deepened, the moonlight sprinkled in the yard. Su Ming's voice echoed in the night wind. The children were fascinated by his voice, as if they could see the bustling courtyard.
As time went by, Huaihua, Su Bai and Su Nan spent their childhood in the courtyard. As they grew older, their feelings for the courtyard grew deeper and deeper. Huaihua especially liked to take her brothers and sisters on adventures to discover the secrets hidden by time.
One sunny afternoon, Huaihua excitedly pulled her brother and sister to the backyard and said, "Brother, sister, I found something very interesting!"
Su Bai and Su Nan followed Huaihua to a corner covered with weeds. Huaihua squatted down and pushed aside the weeds, revealing a stone slab buried in the soil.
Su Nan said in surprise: "Huahua, what is this?"
Huaihua smiled mysteriously and said, "I don't know either, but I think there must be some secret hidden in it."
Su Bai excitedly dug the soil around the stone slab and found some ancient characters engraved on it. They called his father over, and Su Ming took a closer look at the stone slab and found that it was another family tree tablet left by his ancestors.
"Dad, what's written here?" Su Nan asked curiously.
Su Ming smiled and said, "This records the names and deeds of our Su family's ancestors. It seems that this stone tablet was left by our ancestors so that we can remember the family history forever."
Huaihua's eyes sparkled, and she said excitedly, "Dad, can we write these stories down so that more people can know our family history?"
Su Ming nodded and said with satisfaction: "This is a good idea. We can compile these stories into a book so that more people can understand and inherit our family culture."
So Su Ming and his children began to sort out their family stories. They consulted many ancient books and materials, recorded the names and deeds of each ancestor, and compiled these stories into a thick book.
In this process, Huaihua has a deeper understanding of the family's history and understands her father's good intentions. She knows that her father hopes that through these stories, they will understand the family's honor and responsibility, and hopes that they can inherit and carry forward these beautiful traditions.
One winter afternoon, Huaihua and her brothers and sisters sat at the stone table under the ancient locust tree, flipping through the book that recorded the family history. Su Ming stood aside, watching the children's serious expressions, his heart filled with satisfaction and pride.
Huaihua raised her head and said to her father: "Dad, we will definitely protect the courtyard, make it more and more beautiful, and pass on these stories."
Su Ming nodded, tears in his eyes. He knew that his efforts were not in vain, and the children had understood the meaning of inheritance.
As time flies, Huaihua, Su Bai and Su Nan gradually grow up and have their own careers, but no matter where they go, Siheyuan is always their spiritual home.
Huaihua became a historian. Her research on family history not only earned her recognition in the academic world, but also deepened her feelings for the Siheyuan. Every time she returned to the Siheyuan, she would bring her latest research results to share with her father, brothers and sisters.
Su Bai became an architect. He integrated the architectural style of the Siheyuan into modern design and created many architectural works that have both traditional charm and modern sense. He often returned to the Siheyuan to discuss the concepts and technical details of architectural design with his father.
Su Nan became a cultural event planner. She planned many successful cultural events across the country, spreading the story of Siheyuan to a wider range of places. After each event, she always returned to Siheyuan with her gains and experiences to share with her family.
At a family gathering, Huaihua proposed: "Should we hold a large-scale cultural exchange event for Siheyuan to let more people know about our family history and the story of Siheyuan?"
Su Ming readily agreed, and Su Bai and Su Nan also responded positively. So, they began to carefully prepare for the event. Huaihua was responsible for writing the historical background of the Siheyuan, Su Bai was responsible for arranging the venue and designing the display, and Su Nan was responsible for inviting guests and planning the event process.
On the day of the event, the Siheyuan was bustling with activity. Guests came here one after another to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Siheyuan, listen to Huaihua telling the family history, watch the display designed by Su Bai, and participate in the interactive activities planned by Su Nan. Everyone showed great interest in the story of the Siheyuan and the Su family, and said that such activities benefited them a lot.
After the activity, Su Ming and the children sat under the ancient locust tree and recalled the wonderful time. Su Ming said with emotion: "I feel very gratified to see that you have worked so hard to inherit and carry forward our family culture. The Siheyuan is not only our home, but also our common dream and hope."
Huaihua held her father's hand tightly and said firmly: "Dad, we will continue to work hard to make the courtyard more beautiful and full of vitality. No matter how unpredictable the future is, we will go hand in hand and welcome every beautiful tomorrow."
Huaihua, Su Bai and Su Nan's lives in the courtyard gradually entered a new stage. The courtyard is not only the habitat of their souls, but also the source of their inspiration and creation. Although they each have busy careers, they always come back here during holidays or important moments to share the joy of family with their parents.
This morning, the courtyard was quiet, and Huaihua was practicing calligraphy under an ancient locust tree. She was concentrating on writing, and her delicate brushstrokes outlined beautiful Chinese characters on the rice paper. At this moment, Su Ming came over and gently patted her shoulder.
"Huaihua, Xiaodang is coming back today. Let's go pick her up together." Su Ming said gently.
Huaihua smiled and nodded, put down the brush, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard with her father. Su Bai and Su Nan were already waiting at the gate, and they were all looking forward to Xiaodang's return.
Xiaodang is the daughter of Su Ming's friend Jia Dongxu. She has studied abroad for many years and is finally returning to Beijing. Jia Dongxu and Su Ming have already agreed to pick her up at the airport together.
Along the way, Huaihua and her brothers and sisters excitedly discussed Xiaodang's return. They still remember the time when they played with Xiaodang in the courtyard when they were young, and those beautiful memories are still vivid.
"Dad, will Xiaodang live in the courtyard when he comes back?" Su Nan asked curiously.
Su Ming smiled and said, "Yes, Dongxu decided to let Xiaodang live here so that she can better adapt to life in Beijing and share the good times of the courtyard with us."
