Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Liu, we are here today not to criticize you, but we hope that you can have a good chat and speak out what's in your heart. We are all from the same courtyard and should get along with each other in a friendly manner." He Yudong said gently to the two children.

Xiao Yan lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Liu: "I just want to play with my toys and don't want him to take them away."

Xiao Liu also whispered: "I didn't mean to take your toy, I just wanted to take a look, and you scolded me."

He Yudong smiled and nodded: "So that's how it is. Xiao Yan, Xiao Liu, you both misunderstood each other. In fact, wouldn't it be better if you could share toys with each other and play together?"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Liu looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scolded you."

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have hit him." Xiao Liu also apologized.

He Yudong was relieved to see the two reconcile. He knew that although this matter was small, if it was not handled properly, it would affect the harmony between neighbors.

When Yan Bugui and Liu Guangtian saw the two children shaking hands and making peace, the resentment in their hearts dissipated a lot.

"He Yudong, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how long the quarrel would have lasted." Yan Bugui said gratefully.

"Yes, He Yudong, you are really the mediator of our courtyard. We have to thank you very much." Liu Guangtian also said.

He Yudong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Being able to live in harmony is the most important thing. If there is anything in the future, let's sit down and talk it out, and don't let misunderstandings affect our relationship."

After this incident, He Yudong's prestige in the courtyard was even higher, and everyone respected him very much. He not only won the favor of his neighbors, but also strengthened his confidence in living here.

A few days later, the courtyard welcomed another group activity. Everyone decided to make dumplings together to enhance their relationship. He Yudong naturally took an active part and got busy with everyone.

"He Yudong, the dumpling wrappers you rolled are so thin and even. It seems that you are not only good at cooking, but also good at making dumplings." Qin Huairu exclaimed.

"Sister Qin, you are too kind. I also learned this from my family. I just need to practice more.

Liu Haizhong said with a smile: "He Yudong, if you pass on your cooking skills to us, we won't have to worry about food in this courtyard anymore."

Everyone was making dumplings and chatting, and the atmosphere was very lively. He Yudong felt the strong neighborly friendship and his heart was filled with warmth.

"He Yudong, do you have any wishes? Tell us and we will all help you realize them." Yan Bugui suddenly asked.

He Yudong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Actually, my wish is very simple. I just hope that everyone can always live in harmony, care for each other, and help each other."

"This is a good wish and we will definitely achieve it," said Liu Guangtian.

"Yes, He Yudong, you are the lucky star of our courtyard. With you around, we all feel at ease." Qin Huairu also echoed.

The dumplings were finally wrapped. I felt very satisfied as I enjoyed the delicious food I made myself.

"He Yudong, these dumplings are so delicious. Your cooking skills are really admirable." Jia Zhang said with a smile.

"As long as everyone likes it, the courtyard gradually became quiet. He Yudong returned to his room, lay on the bed, and thought about what had happened during this period. He felt extremely satisfied. He knew that he had truly integrated into this big family and found his real home. He was getting ready to go to work. Before going out, he saw Qin Huairu hanging clothes in the yard.

"Good morning, Sister Qin.

"Good morning, He Yudong, are you going to work again today?

"Yes, there are some things to deal with." He Yudong replied.

"Don't work too hard and remember to take good care of yourself." Qin Huairu said with concern.

"Thank you, Sister Qin. I will." He Yudong said with a smile. Yan Jiecheng also came over: "He Yudong, are you free tonight? I want to ask you for a favor. Uncle Yan?" He Yudong asked.

"I have some furniture at home that needs to be repaired, but my skills are not very good, so I would like to ask you for help." Yan Jiecheng said.

"No problem, I'll come and check it out tonight.

In the evening, He Yudong came to Yan Jiecheng's house and saw some old furniture that needed to be repaired. He carefully checked them and started to repair them.

"He Yudong, your craftsmanship is amazing. This furniture looks like new in your hands." Yan Jiecheng exclaimed.

“No, just some tricks.

After repairing the furniture, Yan Jiecheng asked He Yudong to sit down and talk about

Yi Zhonghai was ill due to work pressure, so He Yudong took the initiative to visit him and gave him homemade nutritious meals.

In the midsummer, the courtyard was still full of life. One evening, He Yudong had just returned from work and was about to enter the house when he happened to meet Qin Huairu.

"He Yudong, have you heard? Yi Zhonghai has not been in good health recently and is under too much pressure at work." Qin Huairu said with concern.

He Yudong stopped and frowned slightly: "Really? He didn't tell us."

“Yes, he always reports good news but not bad news, for fear of causing trouble to everyone.

"Oh, I'll go see him later and bring him some nutritious meals." He Yudong already had a plan in mind.

After dinner, He Yudong was busy in the kitchen. He decided to make a nutritious meal for Yi Zhonghai to help him recover. He Yudong selected some fresh ingredients and prepared a chicken soup and some light side dishes.

"He Yudong, what delicious food are you making now?" Banggeng came over curiously.

"I want to send some nutritious meals to Uncle Yi. He hasn't been in good health recently." He Yudong replied.

"Oh, can I help?" Bang Geng asked enthusiastically.

“Of course, help me get these dishes onto the plate.

Banggeng happily helped, and soon a rich and nutritious meal was ready. He Yudong packed the meal into a lunch box and took Banggeng to visit Yi Zhonghai.

The door of Yi Zhonghai's house was ajar. He Yudong knocked gently: "Uncle Yi, it's me, He Yudong."

"Come in, the door is not locked." Yi Zhonghai's voice came from inside, sounding a little tired.

He Yudong pushed the door open and saw Yi Zhonghai lying on the bed, his face slightly pale. He put down the lunch box and walked to the bedside: "Uncle Yi, I heard that you are not in good health, I made some nutritious meals for you, come and try it."

Yi Zhonghai forced a smile and said, "He Yudong, you are too polite. My little problem is not worth bothering you."

"Uncle Yi, don't say that. Health is the most important thing. No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your health." He Yudong said with concern.

Bang Geng also echoed: "Yes, Grandpa Yi, you must rest more. Brother He Yudong's dishes are very delicious. Come and try them."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the two people who cared about him and felt touched: "Okay, okay, I will definitely pay attention. He Yudong, you are such a thoughtful kid."

He Yudong opened the lunch box, and a fragrant aroma came to his nose: "Uncle Yi, this is chicken soup, and there are a few light side dishes, you try it."

Yi Zhonghai tasted the chicken soup and nodded: "It tastes really good, He Yudong, your cooking skills are really extraordinary." "Uncle Yi, I'm glad you like it. If you need anything in the future, just let me know, you're welcome."

Yi Zhonghai put down the bowl, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "He Yudong, you are such a good boy. In fact, I have been too busy at work recently, and the pressure is a bit too great, and my body can't take it. No matter how busy you are at work, you must combine work and rest, and you can't tire yourself out." He Yudong persuaded.

"Yes, I just realized this problem recently. I will slowly adjust things at the company and won't work so hard anymore." Yi Zhonghai slowed down his tone.

Bang Geng asked curiously: "Grandpa Yi, what do you do for a living?"

"I work in a factory and am responsible for some technical management matters. The factory's production tasks have been quite heavy recently and the pressure is a bit high," Yi Zhonghai explained.

He Yudong nodded: "Uncle Yi, there are some ways to relieve the pressure at work, such as proper exercise and chatting with family and friends, which are all good methods."

"You are right, He Yudong, I will pay more attention to these things in the future." Yi Zhonghai said gratefully.

At this time, Liu Haizhong also came in. Seeing He Yudong and Yi Zhonghai together, he asked with concern: "Brother Yi, are you feeling better?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Much better. He Yudong brought me a nutritious meal. I feel much better now."

Liu Haizhong patted He Yudong on the shoulder and said, "He Yudong, you have worked so hard. It is a blessing for Brother Yi to have a neighbor like you."

He Yudong smiled and said: "This is what I should do. We are all family."

In the next few days, He Yudong would take time to visit Yi Zhonghai every day, bringing him nutritious meals and some health products. With everyone's care, Yi Zhonghai's health gradually improved. They gathered together in the courtyard again and chatted. He Yudong was chatting happily with Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others, when they suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

"What are you guys talking about so happily?" Qin Huairu came over with a plate of fruit.

"Sister Qin, we are talking about Uncle Yi's recent physical recovery.

"Yes, thanks to He Yudong's careful care, my body recovered quickly.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "He Yudong, you are really the lucky star of our courtyard. With you here, everyone feels at ease."

He Yudong waved his hand: "Don't say that, everyone."

At this time, Banggeng ran over and took He Yudong's hand: "Brother He Yudong, let's go play marbles."

He Yudong nodded: "Okay, let's go over there."

Bang Geng excitedly pulled He Yudong to a corner of the yard, and the two of them had a lot of fun. Qin Huairu watched this scene,

"He Yudong is such a good person." Liu Haizhong said with emotion.

"Yes, with him here, our courtyard is becoming more and more harmonious." Yan Bugui also nodded in agreement. He Yudong returned to the room and lay on the bed, feeling satisfied and touched. He knew that after He Yudong got up, he saw Yi Zhonghai doing morning exercises in the courtyard.
