Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Old Li waved his hand, signaling He Yudong not to say anything more, "You go back first, I know what's going on with this matter. I'll give you news later."

He Yudong thanked him and left Old Li's dormitory. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was finally a glimmer of hope. When he returned to the courtyard, it was already completely dark, and the courtyard was silent, with only a few dim lanterns swaying in the wind.

He Yudong walked into his room and just sat down when Qin Huairu hurried over. She looked anxious, obviously waiting for news from He Yudong.

"He Yudong, what's going on? Is there any progress?" Qin Huairu asked nervously, her eyes full of anticipation.

He Yudong nodded and said calmly, "Sister Huairu, things have taken a turn for the better. I went to see Mr. Li from the factory, and he promised to help intercede tomorrow. However, we can't take it lightly, after all, this is a big deal."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu showed a glimmer of hope in her eyes and nodded repeatedly, "He Yudong, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I really don't know what to do."

He Yudong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't thank me, Dongxu is from our hospital, and it is only natural to help him. However, Sister Huairu, you have to tell Dongxu not to be so impulsive in the future. With the help of Master Li this time, he may be able to escape the disaster, but it may not be the case next time."

Qin Huairu nodded rapidly, her eyes moistened, "I will definitely persuade him well, He Yudong, don't worry."

He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu's expression, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that everyone living in this compound had their own difficulties, and it was not easy for anyone. But it was precisely because everyone relied on each other that this compound seemed particularly warm.

The next morning, before He Yudong went out, he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Old Li. He Yudong quickly invited him in and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Master Li, why did you come here in person? Is there any news?" He Yudong asked impatiently.

After Old Li sat down, he took a sip of tea and said solemnly, "I went to the factory this morning and talked to the leader. This matter is indeed a bit troublesome, but I asked for mercy for Dongxu, and the leader agreed to give him a lighter punishment, but the condition is that Dongxu must write a profound self-criticism and make it public at the factory meeting."

He Yudong felt relieved after hearing this.

He Yudong sat on the chair, and after listening to Old Li's words, he felt relieved, but also a little uneasy. Although Old Li's words indicated that Dongxu could be dealt with leniently, the request for public self-examination would obviously affect Dongxu's reputation. He knew that although this approach could reduce Dongxu's punishment, it would also be a big blow to him personally.

"Master Li, thank you for your help." He Yudong was full of gratitude. "This matter is indeed not easy for Dongxu, but at least now we still have a chance to save it."

Old Li nodded, a tired smile on his face, "You're welcome, Dongxu is also a child I watched grow up. The most important thing now is that he can learn from his mistakes and not make the same mistakes again in the future. Although the punishment this time is not severe, I hope he can get a warning from it."

"I'll talk to Dongxu." He Yudong stood up and patted Old Li on the shoulder. "You've worked hard, go back and have a rest."

Old Li stood up with a smile and patted He Yudong on the shoulder, "Remember to ask Dongxu to write a good self-criticism, don't be perfunctory. Only in this way can the matter be truly resolved."

"Got it, Master Li." He Yudong watched Old Li leave, feeling deeply moved. Although life in this courtyard was difficult, everyone was willing to lend a hand. This kind of neighborly friendship was rare.

After lunch, He Yudong decided to go to Jia Dongxu's home. He knew that this incident was a big blow to Dongxu, both psychologically and physically. He needed to personally understand Dongxu's thoughts and make sure that he could write a self-criticism seriously according to the requirements.

He Yudong walked into Jia Dongxu's home and found that the whole house seemed unusually quiet. Jia Dongxu's mother, Jia Zhang, was busy in the kitchen. When she saw He Yudong coming in, she looked up with a trace of fatigue and worry in her eyes.

"He Yudong, you're here." Jia Zhang put down the spatula in her hand and wiped the oil stains on her hands. "Come in and sit down. Dongxu hasn't come back yet. He went to the factory to discuss something today. It will probably take some time."

"I understand, Aunt Zhang." He Yudong walked into the living room, sat down, and his eyes fell on a pile of documents on the table. "I came here mainly to understand Dongxu's situation, and I also want to talk to him."

Jia Zhang sighed and sat opposite He Yudong. "This kid is really a worry. I heard that he went to the factory today, but he stayed there for the whole morning. I'm also worried that he will receive a more severe punishment."

He Yudong pursed his lips and consoled her, "Aunt Zhang, Dongxu's situation has taken a turn for the better. Although punishment is unavoidable, the leadership has agreed to deal with it leniently. However, Dongxu needs to publicly review himself at the factory-wide meeting."

Jia Zhang's expression eased a little. "Just give him a lenient punishment. Although public self-criticism is indeed a blow to him, at least there is still a chance. He Yudong, I am so grateful that you can help with this."

"You're welcome, Aunt Zhang." He Yudong said with a smile, "I will continue to pay attention to Dongxu's situation and try my best to help him get through this difficult time."

At this moment, Jia Dongxu opened the door and saw He Yudong sitting in the living room. He asked in surprise, "He Yudong, why are you here? I heard that something happened to me. I'm really sorry to bother you."

He Yudong stood up and patted Dongxu on the shoulder. "Dongxu, sit down and talk. I just came back from the factory. Things have made some progress, but it's not easy."

After Jia Dongxu sat down, he said with a guilty look on his face: "He Yudong, I'm so terrible. This incident is entirely my own fault. I got into a fight with someone on impulse, and now everyone in the factory is staring at me."

"Dongxu, things have taken a turn for the better." He Yudong got straight to the point. "Although punishment is inevitable, the leadership has promised to deal with it leniently. You need to publicly review your actions at the factory-wide meeting. This is also a warning."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, his face turned pale. He lowered his head, feeling very heavy. "I know it was my fault this time. I will pay attention in the future and will never make this mistake again."

He Yudong looked at Dongxu's expression and knew that he had realized the seriousness of the matter. Then, he said patiently: "Dongxu, although it is not easy to review your mistakes, this is your chance to start over. You need to write a serious and profound review and don't be perfunctory. Only in this way can the people in the factory see your true repentance."

Jia Dongxu nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes, "I understand, He Yudong. I will write a serious self-criticism, and I will definitely not be perfunctory this time."

"That's good." He Yudong nodded with satisfaction. "Also, you should pay attention to your daily work and life, and don't let small things affect your emotions. Learn to control yourself, so that you can avoid more trouble."

Jia Dongxu took a deep breath and looked at He Yudong gratefully. "He Yudong, thank you. Thank you so much for helping me solve this problem. I will learn my lesson this time."

He Yudong smiled and patted his shoulder. "You're welcome. We are all neighbors, and we should help each other. What you need to do now is to concentrate on handling your own affairs, and leave the rest to us."

"I understand." Jia Dongxu nodded, "Thank you, He Yudong."

As evening approached, He Yudong left Jia Dongxu's house, feeling a little more relaxed. He knew that although Dongxu's problem had not been completely solved, at least it had made a good start. He decided to sit at a nearby snack stand to relieve his stress.

When he walked to the food stall, he saw Yan Jiecheng and Bang Geng chatting there. Yan Jiecheng was holding a skewer of barbecue and talking and laughing with Bang Geng with a smile on his face. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

He Yudong walked over and said hello, "Uncle Yan, Banggeng, what are you talking about here? I just dealt with Dongxu's matter, and now I want to find a place to relax."

When Yan Jiecheng saw He Yudong, he immediately waved him to sit down, "He Yudong, come and sit down. We were just talking about recent events, and you came just in time. How is the Dongxu incident going?"

Bang Geng saw He Yudong sitting down and put down the string in his hand. "Yes, He Yudong, is there any progress? I heard that he caused a big commotion in the factory yesterday."

He Yudong nodded, sat down, and briefly explained what happened today. Yan Jiecheng and Banggeng expressed their understanding and support.

"It's better to give him a lenient punishment. At least we can leave him some chances." Yan Jiecheng said with emotion, "This kid usually works very hard. It was really because of his impulse that this happened. I hope he can learn a lesson from this."

"Yeah, this kind of thing is really not easy." Banggeng nodded, "We are all neighbors, and we should help each other. Dongxu is lucky to have such an opportunity this time."

He Yudong felt a little relieved after hearing this. He knew that in this courtyard, everyone's support and care were really important for solving the problem.

They chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed. He Yudong stayed at the snack stand for a few hours, ate some snacks, and felt a lot more relaxed. The courtyard at night seemed particularly quiet and peaceful in this warm atmosphere.

That night, He Yudong returned to his room and lay on the bed, still thinking about Jia Dongxu.
