The incident left a deep impression on everyone and also taught everyone to understand and tolerate the people around them more.

Chen Rufeng gradually woke up and looked at the white everything in front of him, feeling deeply tired.

Chen Rufeng gradually woke up, and his eyes were all white and he felt very tired. The busyness and tension of last night made him almost sleepless. In the dimness, he heard the crisp chirping of birds coming from outside the window, as if reminding him that a new day had begun.

He sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and felt a little tired. The scene of sending Sha Zhu's wife to the hospital last night was still vivid in his mind. The tension and anxiety made it difficult for him to calm down. Sha Zhu's grateful eyes lingered in his mind. Although the two of them had many disagreements at ordinary times, in the critical moment, Chen Rufeng still chose to lend a hand, which made him feel a little relieved for his behavior.

He got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Although it was just simple porridge and pickles, it was a new start of the day for him. Holding the steaming porridge, Chen Rufeng sat down at the table and began to think about his future life. He knew that his rigor and Sha Zhu's optimism were two completely different attitudes towards life, but could he find a balance between the two?

After breakfast, Chen Rufeng decided to take a walk in the courtyard. He liked to walk in the fresh morning air and see how the people in the courtyard started their day. The people in the courtyard had already gotten up and were busy. Aunt Li was drying clothes at the door. When she saw Chen Rufeng, she smiled and nodded.

"Rufeng, good morning. You worked so hard last night. Thanks to you for taking Shazhu's wife to the hospital." Aunt Li greeted him warmly.

"It's nothing, we're all neighbors, it's only natural." Chen Rufeng responded politely, feeling a little warm in his heart. Although he was usually strict, he still felt a little satisfied with everyone's kindness and gratitude towards him.

Just as he was thinking, Sha Zhu came over from not far away, holding a basket of fresh vegetables. "Rufeng, good morning! These are the vegetables I bought at the market this morning. You can take some back too."

Chen Rufeng looked at Sha Zhu's sincere face and felt touched. He took the vegetables and said with a smile, "Thank you. You don't have to be so polite. We are all neighbors."

Sha Zhu smiled and patted Chen Rufeng on the shoulder, "We neighbors should take care of each other. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."

The two stood in the yard, the sun shining on them, and the air was filled with a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. At this moment, Chen Rufeng felt that the distance between him and Sha Zhu was no longer so far, as if something was slowly melting between them.

Time passed quickly, and it was evening in the blink of an eye. Chen Rufeng returned to his hut, lit the kerosene lamp, and sat at the desk. He took out a notebook and began to record what he saw and heard today. As a worker, he usually likes to write down some bits and pieces of life, which not only helps him sort out his thoughts, but also provides reference for the future.

As Chen Rufeng wrote, his thoughts returned to the scene of last night. He remembered Sha Zhu's nervous expression and his wife's relief when she was out of danger. These scenes reappeared in his mind again and again, forcing him to re-examine his opinion of Sha Zhu.

"Perhaps I should be more tolerant and less critical," Chen Rufeng said to himself silently. He knew that everyone has their own way of life and attitude towards things, and as neighbors, they should understand and support each other instead of blindly blaming and criticizing.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts. Chen Rufeng put down his pen, walked over and opened the door, and saw Sha Zhu standing outside the door with a hot lunch box in his hand.

"Rufeng, I just made some braised pork and brought some to you. You can also try my cooking." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

Chen Rufeng was a little surprised, but more touched. He took the lunch box and smelled the delicious braised pork, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in his stomach. "Thank you, Shazhu, you are so polite."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "We are all neighbors, no need to be so polite. You work hard every day, you should also make up for it."

Watching Sha Zhu leave, Chen Rufeng was filled with emotion. Perhaps it was this ordinary and sincere neighborly friendship that allowed them to rely on each other in this courtyard and face the various challenges in life together.

A few days later, on a weekend, the courtyard welcomed a rare day off. Everyone gathered in the courtyard, chatting, basking in the sun, and enjoying this moment of tranquility. The children ran and played in the courtyard, while the adults sat under the locust tree, chatting about their own family matters.

Chen Rufeng also joined the small gathering. He sat on a rattan chair, listening to everyone's conversation and nodding in response. Aunt Li talked about the recent price increases, and everyone expressed that they were under a lot of pressure; Uncle Zhang shared the interesting things he encountered in the factory, which made everyone laugh.

Sha Zhu was also there, enthusiastically talking about a new recipe he had recently learned. Although everyone had already praised his cooking skills, he still enjoyed sharing his experience.

"Rufeng, tell us something too. Did you encounter any interesting things in the factory?" Aunt Li suddenly turned to Chen Rufeng and asked.

Chen Rufeng smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, there's nothing special about it. Life in the factory is quite monotonous, but we recently received a new large order, and everyone is working overtime to catch up with the work."

"Oh, working overtime is hard," Aunt Li sighed, "but it's not easy for everyone to make a living."

Sha Zhu patted Chen Rufeng on the shoulder and said, "Rufeng, we all see how hard you work. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. Let's work hard together."

Chen Rufeng felt warm in his heart and felt a long-lost sense of belonging. He knew that although there were many challenges and difficulties in life, with the support and understanding of these neighbors, everything became less unbearable.

As night fell, the excitement in the courtyard gradually died down. Everyone returned to their own cabins to prepare for a new day. Chen Rufeng lay on the bed, thinking about everything that happened today, his heart filled with hope for the future.

"Maybe this is what life is like, finding your own warmth and strength in the ordinary." He thought silently and gradually fell asleep.

Looking at the IV drip in his hand, he recognized that this was a hospital. However, this hospital had a strong sense of age, and looked old and dilapidated.
