Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu was a little unhappy, but he remained calm: "Da Mao, as long as the car can be used, there is no need to buy a new one. Besides, I think repairing cars is also a kind of fun."

Xu Damao curled his lips: "Fun? You are really interesting. You are too down-to-earth. No wonder Qin Huairu looks down on you."

This sentence hurt He Yuzhu's heart, but he didn't show it. He just said calmly: "Da Mao, don't mention the past. Everyone has his own way of life."

Xu Damao smiled and turned away. He Yuzhu looked at his back, feeling helpless and angry. He knew that Xu Damao didn't really care about him, but just liked to make fun of his past. But He Yuzhu also understood that he couldn't be swayed by this emotion all the time, and he had to find a way to make Xu Damao change his attitude towards him.

One day, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were chatting in the yard, and he suddenly mentioned Xu Damao: "Xiao'e, tell me, why does Damao always like to make fun of me?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and said, "Yuzhu, Xu Damao is a man who may be harsh in words, but he actually has a kind heart. He may just think that this makes him look superior."

He Yuzhu nodded: "I understand, but this always makes me feel uncomfortable. I think he should pay more attention to his own affairs instead of always staring at others."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and comforted him: "Yuzhu, don't take his words too seriously. Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves. All you have to do is live your life well and don't be influenced by him."

He Yuzhu pondered for a while, and suddenly felt that Lou Xiaoe's words made sense. He decided not to be bothered by Xu Damao's words and deeds, but to focus on his own life and work. He wanted to prove his worth with his actions, not by other people's evaluations.

In the following days, He Yuzhu worked harder and took everything seriously. He began to organize some activities in the courtyard to make the neighbors more united and harmonious. He also actively participated in various community affairs and tried his best to help those in need. Gradually, people in the courtyard had a higher and higher opinion of him, and Xu Damao also began to look at him with new eyes.

One weekend afternoon, He Yuzhu organized a small neighborhood gathering in the yard. Everyone cooked and chatted together in a very harmonious atmosphere. Xu Damao also came to participate. When he saw everyone's respect and love for He Yuzhu, he couldn't help but admire him.

After the party, Xu Damao took the initiative to walk up to He Yuzhu, his tone less sarcastic and more sincere: "Yuzhu, today's party was well organized, and everyone is very happy."

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Thank you Damao for the compliment. Actually, I just want everyone to communicate more and live in harmony."

Xu Damao nodded and said seriously, "Yuzhu, I had some misunderstandings about you before and said a lot of unpleasant things. I hope you don't take it to heart."

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that Xu Damao was sincere at this moment: "Damo, let the past be the past. We are neighbors, we should help each other and understand each other."

Xu Damao nodded heavily: "Yes, Yuzhu, you are right. If you need any help in the future, just come to me."

He Yuzhu smiled, and the unhappiness in his heart finally dissipated. He knew that he had won Xu Damao's respect with his actions, and also found his inner peace.

In the dead of night, He Yuzhu lay in bed, thinking back to his experiences during this period. He felt extremely fulfilled and satisfied. The pain of the past had become a part of his growth, and in the future, he believed that he could do better.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e sent a message: "Yuzhu, today's party was really great. Everyone was very happy and you did a great job."

He Yuzhu smiled and replied: "Thank you, Xiao'e. Without your support, I would not have been able to do so well."

Lou Xiao'e replied: "We are friends, so it is only natural for us to help each other. There will be more things waiting for us to do together in the future."

The days in the courtyard are always peaceful but with some disturbances. He Yuzhu was repairing a bicycle in the yard, feeling happy. Suddenly, Jia Dongxu strode over with a gloomy face, obviously in a bad mood.

Jia Dongxu walked up to He Yuzhu angrily, his tone full of anger: "He Yuzhu, what do you mean? You always pretend to be a good person, do you look down on me?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, put down the tools in his hands, stood up, and answered as calmly as possible: "Dongxu, where do you get this from? I don't understand."

Jia Dongxu sneered: "Don't pretend! Do you think that if you hold a party in the yard, everyone will like you? Do you think you are great?"

He Yuzhu felt helpless, but still patiently explained: "Dongxu, we are all gathered together just to enhance our relationship, there is no other meaning. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak out directly."

Jia Dongxu's emotions were obviously out of control. He shouted, "Say it out? Okay, then I'll say it! You always act like a good person, making all of us look incompetent. My family is having a hard time. Do you think I'm not as good as you?"

He Yuzhu's heart tightened, realizing that Jia Dongxu was venting his dissatisfaction and pressure. He knew he needed to calm down, otherwise things would only get worse: "Dongxu, I never thought about it this way. Everyone has their own difficulties, and we should help each other instead of blaming each other."

Jia Dongxu insisted: "Help each other? You're really good at talking! Then why do you always act so good? Do you know that this makes me feel bad?"

He Yuzhu's patience was gradually worn out. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Dongxu, I really don't mean to show that I am better than anyone else. If I did anything that made you uncomfortable, I apologize. But we are really neighbors and should support each other."

Jia Dongxu still didn't let go: "What's the point of your apology? Can an apology solve the problem? You are always so hypocritical, it makes people annoyed!"

At this time, Lou Xiao'e came out of the house and saw this scene. She hurried over to persuade them to stop fighting: "Dongxu, Yuzhu, he really has no ill intentions. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can talk about it in a nice way, don't quarrel."

Jia Dongxu glanced at Lou Xiao'e, and his tone softened a little, but he was still dissatisfied: "Xiao'e, don't get involved. This has nothing to do with you."

Lou Xiao'e said softly: "Dongxu, we are all neighbors, can we talk properly? If there is a problem, solve it, don't hurt the harmony."
