Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

### Chapter 26: Neighborhood Bridge

He Yuzhu stood in front of the community bulletin board, staring at the "Neighborhood Bridge" project poster he had just posted. He firmly believed that the harmony of the community requires not only the improvement of infrastructure, but also the spiritual communication between residents.

"Yuzhui, your poster is really well done, and this project sounds interesting." Neighbor Lao Wang stopped and looked at it carefully when he passed by.

He Yuzhu turned around and responded with a smile: "Yes, Lao Wang. I think that although our community has complete facilities, everyone seems to lack some in-depth communication."

Lao Wang nodded in agreement: "You are right. Nowadays, everyone is busy and there is rarely a chance to sit down and chat."

He Yuzhu put forward his own idea: "So, I want to organize some activities, such as neighborhood dinners, skill exchange meetings, and even maintain community gardens together, so that everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other and help each other."

In the first "Neighborhood Bridge" dinner party, He Yuzhu invited families from the community to participate. He hoped that this would not only be a meal, but also a spiritual exchange.

"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to our neighborhood dinner. I hope that tonight we can not only enjoy the delicious food, but also feel the warmth among our neighbors." He Yuzhu gave a brief speech at the beginning of the dinner.

The residents sat around a long table decorated with warm decorations, which was filled with special dishes brought by each family. Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"This dish is so delicious. Can I ask for instructions on how to make it?" said the young mother Xiao Chen to Aunt Zhang next to her.

Aunt Zhang responded enthusiastically: "Of course, it's actually very simple, we can do it together next time."

During the dinner, He Yuzhu also specially arranged a "neighborhood story sharing" session to allow residents to share their experiences and feelings.

"I lived in this community when I was a child. At that time, the relationship between neighbors was much closer than it is now," recalled Mr. Li, an old resident.

He Yuzhu listened carefully and nodded from time to time: "Uncle Li, your story is very inspiring. We should regain that kind of close neighborly relationship."

As the dinner progressed, residents began to communicate more proactively. They discussed how to jointly improve the community environment and how to help neighbors in need.

"Yuzhu, I think we can set up a mutual aid group. If anyone is in need, everyone can do their part." Resident Brother Zhao suggested.

He Yuzhu agreed with the proposal: "Good idea, Brother Zhao. We can start with small things, such as helping the elderly with shopping, or taking care of the community's green space together."

After the dinner, the residents left with satisfaction and joy. He Yuzhu stood on the gradually empty field, his heart full of hope.

"Yuzhui, this dinner is so meaningful. I feel our community has become warmer." Li Hua said with emotion, holding He Yuzhui's arm.

He Yuzhu smiled and responded: "Yes, Hua, this is just the beginning. I believe our community will get better and better."

### Chapter 27: The Establishment of a Mutual Aid Group

After the neighborhood dinner, He Yuzhu's mind was filled with new plans. He decided to put the residents' suggestions into practice and set up a mutual aid group to better coordinate and organize mutual aid activities within the community.

"The establishment of a mutual aid group will make our community more united and more cohesive." He Yuzhu announced the decision at a community meeting.

The residents responded positively and expressed their willingness to join and contribute. At the first group meeting, everyone enthusiastically discussed how the group would operate and the upcoming activities.

"We can start with simple daily help, such as helping elderly people with limited mobility to shop, or assisting neighbors with household repair problems." He Yuzhu put forward some preliminary ideas.

"I agree, and I think we can also organize some community activities regularly to enhance everyone's understanding and friendship," added resident Ms. Zhao.

As the discussion deepened, the concept of the mutual aid group gradually became more specific and clear. Residents were divided into several groups according to their specialties and interests, some responsible for daily assistance, some responsible for organizing activities, and others responsible for publicity and liaison.

### Chapter 28: The Warmth of Daily Help

The daily assistance activities of the mutual aid group soon spread throughout the community. Residents helped each other and solved many small problems in life, which warmed everyone's hearts.

One afternoon, Aunt Zhang found that her water pipe was leaking, so she immediately contacted the mutual aid group. Soon, Master Li, who was good at repairs, rushed to Aunt Zhang's house with a toolbox.

"Auntie Zhang, don't worry, I'll take a look." Master Li comforted Auntie Zhang while starting to check the water pipes.

With the help of Master Li, the water leakage problem was quickly solved. Aunt Zhang held Master Li's hand gratefully and said, "Master Li, thank you so much, otherwise I really don't know what I would do."

Master Li smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, Aunt Zhang, we are all neighbors, and we should help each other."

Such small stories are constantly happening in the community, and members of the mutual aid group convey warmth and care through their actions.

### Chapter 29: The Joy of Community Activities

In addition to daily assistance, the mutual aid group also regularly organizes various community activities, such as festival celebrations, talent shows and parent-child games, etc. These activities not only enrich the residents' spare time, but also provide everyone with more opportunities for communication and interaction.

During a Mid-Autumn Festival celebration, the community center was decorated with lights and residents gathered together to share the joy of the festival. Children played on the field with lanterns, and adults sat together, tasting moon cakes and admiring the bright moon.

"This kind of activity is great. It gives us the opportunity to get together and enjoy the festive atmosphere," said resident Mr. Chen.

He Yuzhu stood aside, looking at this warm scene, his heart full of satisfaction: "Yes, Mr. Chen, I hope our community can become a big family where everyone can feel warmth and happiness."

### Chapter 30: The Impact of the Mutual Aid Group

Over time, the mutual aid group has had a profound impact on the community. The relationship between residents has become closer and the community atmosphere has become more harmonious.

"Yuzhu, I feel our community has become more warm since the mutual aid group was established," Li Hua said to He Yuzhu during a walk.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, Hua, I have also felt this change. The mutual aid group not only helps those in need, but also brings each of us closer together."

The success of the mutual aid group attracted more attention. Residents from surrounding communities also expressed their desire to learn from the experience of He Yuzhu's community and set up their own mutual aid organizations.

"Yuzhui, your mutual aid group is so creative. Our community also wants to try to set up a similar organization." Mr. Wang, the head of a neighboring community, came to learn from us.

He Yuzhu enthusiastically shared his experience: "Mr. Wang, we very much welcome you to join this concept. I believe that through everyone's joint efforts, our community will become a better place."

### Chapter 31: The Concept of the Dream Fund

As He Yuzhu's influence in the community grew, he began to think about how to use this influence to support community members in realizing their personal dreams. An idea gradually took shape in his mind - to create a "Dream Fund" to help residents who have creativity and enthusiasm but lack financial support.

"There are many talented people in our community who have various dreams, but they are often unable to realize them due to funding issues." He Yuzhu proposed this idea at a community meeting.

Residents were excited about the proposal and expressed their support, believing that the fund would not only help individuals but also bring new vitality and development to the community.

"Yuzhu, this dream fund is great. I have a dream of opening a small restaurant, but I have always lacked start-up capital." Resident Xiao Liu said excitedly.

He Yuzhu encouraged him: "Xiao Liu, if you have a detailed plan, the Dream Fund may be able to help you realize your dream."

### Chapter 32: Launch of the Fund

Under the advocacy of He Yuzhu, community members began to take action to raise funds and formulate fund management rules and application procedures. They hope to ensure that funds can be used for truly valuable projects in a transparent and fair manner.

"We need to set up a review committee to evaluate applicants' dreams and plans to ensure the effective use of funds," said He Yuzhu at the preparatory meeting.

Residents actively participated, some were responsible for raising funds, some were responsible for making rules, and some were responsible for publicity and mobilizing community members to participate.

### Chapter 33: Wings of Dreams

With the official launch of the Dream Fund, many creative projects have emerged in the community. From small family farms to community art studios, from environmental protection projects to technological innovation, the dreams of residents have been supported and encouraged.

"Yuzhu, thanks to the Dream Fund, my small restaurant is finally open. Many customers come here and they all like the dishes here." Xiao Liu said to He Yuzhu after the restaurant opened.

He Yuzhu was happy for Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, I am also very pleased to see your dream come true. The Dream Fund is to help everyone realize their dreams."

### Chapter 34: Community Prosperity

The establishment of the Dream Fund has brought unprecedented prosperity to the community. The dreams and creativity of residents have been realized, and the diversity and vitality of the community have been enhanced.

"Yuzhu, look, since the establishment of the Dream Fund, our community has become more and more vibrant." Li Hua said to He Yuzhu while taking a walk.

He Yuzhu smiled and responded, "Yes, Hua, I am very happy to see everyone's dreams come true and the community becomes more colorful because of it."

### Chapter 35: Continuing Impact

The influence of the Dream Fund has gradually spread to every corner of the community. It has not only inspired the creativity of residents, but also attracted attention and recognition from the outside world.

"Yuzhu, I heard about your Dream Fund. It's really an amazing project. Our company is willing to provide some support." A local entrepreneur said to He Yuzhu after visiting the community.

### Chapter 31: Community Challenges

Just as He Yuzhu's "Neighborhood Bridge" project was progressing steadily in the community, the community faced an unprecedented challenge: a large real estate developer planned to build a commercial center near the community, which might have an impact on the community's living environment and neighborhood relations.

"Yuzhu, we heard about the plan for this commercial center and everyone is worried that our community will be changed." Resident representatives expressed their concerns at an emergency meeting.

He Yuzhu listened carefully to the opinions of the residents. He is well aware of the significance of this project to the community and the changes it may bring: "Don't worry, we will closely monitor the progress of this project and communicate with the developer to ensure that the interests and voices of our community are heard."

### Chapter 32: The Power of Unity

To address this challenge, He Yuzhu convened residents of the community and organized a series of discussions and seminars to allow residents to express their opinions and concerns.

"We must unite and face this problem together," He Yuzhu encouraged residents at a discussion meeting.

Residents responded positively and put forward many constructive suggestions, such as asking developers to consider the characteristics and needs of the community in the design and to reduce interference with the community during the construction process.

### Chapter 33: Dialogue and Negotiation

He Yuzhu represented the community in many dialogues and consultations with the developer. He insisted that the interests and voices of the community must be respected.

"We understand that the commercial center has a positive impact on the region's economic development, but we also hope that it can coexist harmoniously with our community." He Yuzhu stated his position during the meeting with the developer.

After a series of communications and consultations, the developer finally agreed to fully consider the opinions of the community in the design and construction and reduce the impact on residents' lives.

### Chapter 34: A Common Future

As the commercial center project progressed, the residents of the community gradually put aside their concerns. They saw that the efforts of He Yuzhu and the community brought positive results in protecting the characteristics and environment of the community.

"Yuzhu, I am now more confident about the future of our community." Aunt Zhao, a resident, said to He Yuzhu after seeing the design drawings of the commercial center.

He Yuzhu responded with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, this is our common future. As long as we unite as one, there is nothing we cannot overcome."

### Chapter 35: Community Celebration

To celebrate this victory, He Yuzhu proposed a community celebration where residents came together to enjoy food, music, and dancing, expressing their love for their community and their hopes for the future.

"Today, we celebrate not only our unity and victory, but also the vitality and diversity of our community," said He Yuzhu in a speech at the celebration.

Residents enjoyed a joyful evening filled with laughter and joy, knowing that as long as everyone is connected, the community can continue to prosper.

### Chapter 36: A New Perspective

As the construction of the commercial center gradually integrated with the community, He Yuzhu began to think about how to use this new development opportunity to bring more vitality and opportunities to the community.

"We should not only see the problems that commercial centers may bring, but also see the new opportunities they bring to the community." He Yuzhu put forward a new perspective at the community development meeting.

The residents were curious about this and asked He Yuzhu what he thought.

"The commercial center will attract more people, and we can take this opportunity to promote our community culture, such as holding community art exhibitions, handicraft markets and other activities." He Yuzhu introduced his plan in detail.

### Chapter 37: Cultural Promotion

He Yuzhu's proposal was widely supported by residents, who began to organize various cultural activities to showcase the characteristics and charm of the community.

"Yuzhu, I think we can set up a community art gallery to display the paintings and photographs of our residents." Resident Mr. Li came up with an idea.

He Yuzhu appreciated the idea and encouraged residents to actively participate: "This will not only showcase our talents, but also attract more people to understand our community culture."

### Chapter 38: The Bustle of the Market

Under the organization of He Yuzhu, the community held a grand handicraft market, where residents brought their own handicrafts, ranging from weavings to ceramic artworks.

At the market, residents enthusiastically introduced their works to tourists and exchanged their creative experiences. Children also participated in the activities, painting and making handicrafts on the spot, adding vitality to the market.

"Yuzhu, this market is so lively. I didn't expect our handicrafts to be so popular." Aunt Zhang, a resident, said happily.

He Yuzhu smiled and responded: "Aunt Zhang, this shows that our culture has a unique charm. We should continue to promote it."

### Chapter 39: Community Integration

The construction of the commercial center complements the cultural activities of the community, attracting more tourists and new residents. The community's appearance maintains tradition while incorporating new elements.

"Yuzhu, I like our community more and more. It has both traditional charm and modern vitality." Resident Xiao Li said with emotion during a community event.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xiao Li, we should cherish and develop this kind of integration to make our community more diverse and inclusive."

### Chapter 40: Our Common Home

After a series of efforts and activities, He Yuzhu successfully built the community into a vibrant, harmonious and multicultural home where residents found a sense of belonging and attracted more people to live and develop here.

"Yuzhui, look at how beautiful our community is now! All this is inseparable from your efforts." Li Hua said to He Yuzhui at a community festival.

He Yuzhu looked at the happy crowd, feeling very satisfied: "Hua, this is the result of our joint efforts. I believe that as long as we unite as one, our community will get better and better."
