Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

After the general meeting, the atmosphere in the courtyard gradually calmed down. Although the issue of food theft was not immediately resolved, Sha Zhu's tolerance and Yi Zhonghai's mediation made the residents feel a little warm. Everyone began to disperse and return to their respective homes, but they were thinking silently in their hearts, hoping that this matter could have a result as soon as possible.

Sha Zhu returned to his kitchen and looked at the remaining dishes. He felt a little disappointed, but more determined. He decided not to dwell on this incident, but to continue to do his job well and provide more help and happiness to everyone.

The next morning, Sha Zhu was busy as usual. He started preparing food for the new day, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to improve his kitchen safety to prevent similar things from happening again. He decided to install a simple lock and close the kitchen doors and windows when he went out.

Meanwhile, Jia Zhang was also feeling uneasy at home. She knew it was only a matter of time before her actions were discovered, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. She began to regret her greed and decided to pay more attention to her behavior in the future and not do anything that would disappoint everyone.

In the yard, residents also began to remind each other to keep an eye on their children and not let them do things they shouldn't do because of their greed. At the same time, everyone is also discussing how to strengthen the safety management of the yard so that everyone can live in peace.

A few days later, Sha Zhu met Yi Zhonghai in the yard. Yi Zhonghai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sha Zhu, you handled this matter very well. We should all learn to be tolerant and understanding, so that our community can be more harmonious."

Sha Zhu smiled and nodded. He knew that although this experience was unpleasant, he also learned a lot. He decided to treat everyone more attentively in the future and use his actions to influence and change the people around him.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the courtyard gradually returned to its former harmony. The relationship between the residents became closer because of this incident. Sha Zhu's food was never lost again, and Jia Zhang became more low-key and cautious.

Although this minor disturbance caused tension in the courtyard for a while, it eventually became an opportunity for everyone to grow and progress together. Sha Zhu and all the residents realized that only by understanding and supporting each other can they jointly create a better living environment.

After that incident, Shazhu's life gradually returned to normal. He did not pursue the matter of food theft, but instead put more energy into improving his cooking skills. He began to try some new recipes, hoping to bring more surprises to the neighbors in the yard.

One afternoon, Sha Zhu set up a small stall in the yard and invited everyone to try the snacks he had just learned. His warm and sincere smile soon attracted the attention of many neighbors. Everyone sat around the stall, tasting Sha Zhu's craftsmanship and praising him highly.

Jia Zhang also quietly joined the crowd. She looked at Sha Zhu's busy figure, and a sense of guilt surged in her heart. She knew that her previous little action had caused Sha Zhu a lot of trouble. After tasting Sha Zhu's snacks, she plucked up the courage, walked up to Sha Zhu, and whispered: "Sha Zhu, I'm really sorry for what happened last time. I...I won't do this again in the future."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled generously: "It's okay, Aunt Jia. Everyone makes mistakes, the key is to know the mistakes and correct them. How do your snacks taste? Are they to your liking?"

Jia Zhang nodded, with a flash of gratitude in her eyes. Since then, she has really become more enthusiastic and helpful, and often helps the elderly and children in the yard.

As time went by, Sha Zhu's snack stand became more and more popular. He not only set up a stall in the yard, but also went to the nearby market on weekends to sell. His snacks were not only delicious but also affordable, and soon won the love of many people.

The residents in the courtyard have also become more united because of Shazhu's snack stand. Everyone will get together in their spare time to enjoy delicious food, chat about family matters, and share each other's joys and sorrows. This small courtyard has become more warm and harmonious because of Shazhu's snack stand.

Sha Zhu also found his own value and happiness in this process. He knows that food is not only for filling the stomach, but also a bond that connects people. He hopes that through his efforts, more people can feel the warmth of home and the friendship between neighbors.

As time went by, Shazhu's food stall became a beautiful scenery in the yard. Every time the sun sets, the stall is always bustling with laughter and fragrance, becoming the most beautiful memory of this small community.

As the seasons change, Shazhu's snack stand has also seen new changes. The autumn breeze brings coolness and the smell of harvest. Shazhu began to use seasonal ingredients to make a series of new snacks, such as roasted chestnuts, candied haws and various nut cakes.

One evening, Sha Zhu set up a small stove in the yard to roast chestnuts. The aroma of the chestnuts soon spread, attracting a group of children returning from school. They gathered around the stove, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. While turning the chestnuts, Sha Zhu chatted with the children and shared their interesting experiences at school.

The children's laughter was as clear as silver bells, making the whole yard full of vitality. Parents were also infected by the joyful atmosphere and came out of their homes to join this small gathering. Everyone tasted the hot roasted chestnuts while talking about their lives. The yard was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

As night fell, Sha Zhu took out another of his specialties - candied haws. He strung fresh hawthorns together, coated them with syrup, and after cooling, they became the children's favorite sweet. The children rushed to taste them, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

During this process, Sha Zhu discovered a special figure - Jia Zhang. She stood in the crowd, holding a string of candied haws in her hand, with a long-lost smile on her face. Since the last incident, Jia Zhang has become more enthusiastic and cheerful, often helping neighbors solve some small problems. The relationship between her and Sha Zhu has also become more harmonious.

Sha Zhu looked at Jia Zhang and felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that everyone could make mistakes, but what was more important was to recognize the mistakes and correct them. He was very glad that Jia Zhang did this, and their relationship became closer because of it.

As time goes by, Shazhu's snack stand has not only become a highlight in the yard, but also a bridge connecting neighbors. Whether it is the elderly or children, whether it is a busy office worker or a leisurely housewife, everyone likes to stop in front of Shazhu's snack stand and share each other's stories and happiness.

Shazhu also found his own value and happiness in this process. He knows that his snacks are not only to satisfy everyone's appetite, but also to convey warmth and love. He hopes that through his efforts, this small community will become more harmonious and everyone can feel the warmth of home.

In this way, Sha Zhu's snack stand became a legend in the yard, a story about food, neighborly love, and life. Whenever someone mentions Sha Zhu, everyone will smile knowingly, because they know that Sha Zhu is not only a snack stand owner, but also the warm and kind neighbor in their hearts.

As the first snow of winter quietly fell, Shazhu's food stall also changed into new winter clothes. He decorated the stall with colorful light bulbs, letting the warm lights flicker in the cold night, guiding the neighbors returning home. At the food stall, steaming hot roasted sweet potatoes and crispy and delicious fried skewers have become the new favorites in winter.

One night, Shazhu launched his new creation - homemade hot chocolate. He used fresh milk and high-quality cocoa powder, plus a little cinnamon and vanilla, to create a drink that was both warm and sweet. The aroma of hot chocolate filled the cold air, attracting many neighbors who had just got off work to come and taste it.

Jia Zhang also brought her grandson to the snack stand. The little grandson held a string of candied haws in his hand, but his eyes were curiously staring at the hot chocolate. Seeing this, Sha Zhu smiled and handed him a small cup of hot chocolate, saying, "Come, try uncle's special hot chocolate, I guarantee you will like it."

The little grandson tasted it carefully, and then his eyes lit up and he showed a satisfied smile. Jia Zhang looked at Sha Zhu with gratitude. She knew that Sha Zhu's kindness was not only his love for food, but also his love for the community.

As the food stall became more and more popular, Sha Zhu began to think about how to pass on this warmth to more people. He decided to hold a community food festival on weekends and invite neighbors to participate. Everyone can bring their own specialties and share food and happiness together.

On the day of the food festival, the yard was filled with all kinds of food stalls, ranging from home-cooked stir-fries to special snacks, from traditional cakes to modern desserts. Neighbors tasted the food and exchanged cooking experiences, while children shuttled between the stalls, and laughter filled the whole yard.

There were even more people in front of Sha Zhu's snack stand. His hot chocolate and roasted sweet potatoes became the most popular delicacies. He was busy, but he also enjoyed it. Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, he felt unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.

As night fell, the food festival gradually came to an end. Neighbors said goodbye reluctantly and promised to get together again next time. Sha Zhu packed up his stall, but he had already started planning the next food festival in his mind. He wanted to keep this tradition going and make it a part of the community culture.

This winter, everyone in the yard felt especially warm because of Shazhu's snack stand and food festival. They knew that no matter how cold the outside world was, as long as they returned to this small community, there would be a warmth and sweetness of home waiting for them. And Shazhu, in this process, became an indispensable part of their hearts.

Spring is approaching quietly, the trees in the yard are beginning to sprout new buds, and the breath of revival is in the air. Shazhu's snack stand has also brought new vitality and creativity with the change of seasons.

As the weather warms up, Shazhu starts preparing spring snacks. He launches a series of light meals with fresh vegetables and fruits as the theme, such as vegetable salads, fruit platters, and homemade spring rolls, aiming to bring a healthy and delicious eating experience to his neighbors. The colorful ingredients on his snack stand attract every resident passing by, making people stop and enjoy this gift of spring.

On a sunny weekend, Sha Zhu decided to hold a spring picnic. He invited all the neighbors in the yard to spread out the picnic mat in the open space in the yard and share the food and sunshine. The neighbors brought their own prepared food, some brought home-baked bread, some brought homemade jams, and some brought pickled vegetables. Everyone sat together, enjoying the food and talking about plans and hopes for the spring.

Children chased and played on the grass, their laughter was crisp and sweet. The elderly sat leisurely under the shade of the trees, enjoying the warm sunshine and the warmth between neighbors. Sha Zhu shuttled among the crowd, handing out the spring rolls and salads he carefully prepared to everyone, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Jia Zhang also brought her specialty mung bean cakes. She and Sha Zhu smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and friendship between them were sublimated at this moment. She looked at Sha Zhu's busy figure, and her heart was full of gratitude. Since the last incident, she deeply realized the importance of mutual respect and support between neighbors.

With the success of the Spring Picnic, Shazhu's influence in the community has grown. He is not only a snack stand owner, but also an organizer and promoter of community activities. His snack stand has become a part of the community culture and a place for neighbors to communicate and share.

When summer came, Sha Zhu had a new plan. He planned to build a small pavilion next to the snack stand to provide a good place for neighbors to escape the heat. In the pavilion, he prepared a variety of cold drinks and ice cream, as well as comfortable chairs and some books, so that everyone could find a cool and quiet place in the hot summer.

Shazhu's snack stand and community activities make this small courtyard more loving and vibrant. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, whether it is sunny or rainy, Shazhu can always use his enthusiasm and creativity to bring warmth and happiness to everyone. And this small community has become more harmonious and full of the colors of life because of Shazhu.

In late summer and early autumn, the lively atmosphere in the yard remains unabated. With the change of seasons, Shazhu's snack stand has also ushered in a new round of innovation and change. He began to try to combine traditional and modern cooking methods to bring a more diverse food experience to his neighbors.

One evening, Sha Zhu hung up colored lanterns in front of the snack stand and prepared a unique "moonlight dinner". He put homemade moon cakes in a bamboo basket, paired with fresh fruits and homemade fruit tea, and invited neighbors to spend a quiet and beautiful night under the moonlight.
