Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Xu Mingjie was a little nervous, but he still kept smiling. "I would like to ask you to try these fruits to see if they suit your taste. Also, I have made some adjustments to the maintenance of flowers and plants recently. If you have time, you can come and have a look."

A trace of doubt flashed across the second uncle's eyes, but he did not refuse. Instead, he slowly stood up and walked to Xu Mingjie. Xu Mingjie was a little nervous, but he knew that this was an opportunity and he had to try his best to seize it.

"These fruits are not bad." The second uncle tasted them and said with a surprisingly gentle tone, "However, the condition of these flowers and plants has not improved much."

Xu Mingjie was a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. "I did encounter some problems when taking care of the flowers and plants. I specially invited gardening experts today, and they gave me some new suggestions. I plan to make some adjustments based on these suggestions."

The second uncle's frown relaxed a little, but he still looked a little dissatisfied. "I really can't see the effect of your changes. You have to know that these flowers and plants can't be taken care of casually."

Xu Mingjie felt a little uneasy. He knew that despite his efforts, he still did not fully meet the expectations of the second uncle. He was filled with frustration, but he tried to hide these emotions. "I understand. In fact, I also feel that caring for these flowers and plants is much more complicated than I expected. I will continue to work hard and do my best."

The second uncle looked at Xu Mingjie and seemed a little moved. His tone softened a little. "It's good to work hard, but you can't just rely on hard work, you also need methods. It will take time to observe the effects of your adjustments."

Xu Mingjie nodded, feeling somewhat grateful for what Second Uncle said. He realized that Second Uncle was not completely denying his efforts, but was hoping to see more obvious results. "Thank you for your suggestions, I will continue to improve. If there are other aspects that need to be adjusted, please feel free to let me know."

"Okay, remember to be more careful." The second uncle said simply and turned back to the yard.

Xu Mingjie looked at the back of the second uncle, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Although this communication did not achieve the effect he expected, he felt a slight progress. He decided to take this experience as an important lesson and seriously think about his shortcomings in handling this matter.

After returning to his yard, Xu Mingjie sat at the table and read many books and materials on flower and plant care. He knew that his grasp of these details was far from enough and he needed more learning and practice. He even considered contacting more experts for more professional guidance.

At the same time, he began to realize that the relationship with the second uncle could not only be improved by specific actions, but also required more communication and understanding. He decided to try some new methods, such as inviting the second uncle to participate in the daily management of the yard, and gradually narrow the distance between them. He knew that this was not just a simple task, but also a test of his interpersonal skills.

A few days later, Xu Mingjie found the second uncle again and invited him to have tea. Xu Mingjie's tone was sincere and expectant. "Second uncle, I would like to invite you to have a cup of tea and talk about flowers and plants. Maybe your suggestions can help me solve these problems better."

The second uncle hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. Xu Mingjie knew that this opportunity might be an important moment for him to improve his relationship with the second uncle. He tried his best to prepare some refreshments and carefully arranged the table, hoping to leave a good impression on the second uncle.

When the two sat at the table, Xu Mingjie tried to relax and listened carefully to the second uncle's views on flowers and plants. Although the second uncle's attitude was still a little reserved, he gradually began to share some of his experiences and insights on flower and plant care. Xu Mingjie carefully recorded these suggestions and had a deeper understanding of the second uncle's views.

As the weeks passed, Xu Mingjie gradually felt that the rhythm of courtyard life had been deeply integrated into his daily life. Although he still faced many challenges in his relationship with his second uncle, he was always thinking about how to truly improve his life, not just solving the current conflicts. What he longed for was not only harmony with his second uncle, but also a sense of belonging and accomplishment in this courtyard.

Xu Mingjie gets up early every morning to take care of the flowers and plants, making sure they are in the best condition. He gradually becomes familiar with the characteristics and needs of these flowers and plants, and tries to do his best to make them perfect. His careful observation of each pot of flowers and plants allows him to find his own rhythm and satisfaction in the process. Whenever he sees the plants gradually regaining vitality, Xu Mingjie feels a surge of joy in his heart, which makes him feel that his efforts are worthwhile.

But he knew that improving the flowers and plants was not enough. He also hoped to have more interactions and a sense of integration in the courtyard. He began to take the initiative to participate in neighborhood activities, chatting with other residents about life and sharing some small daily details. Although these interactions were sometimes not easy, he tried his best to maintain a friendly attitude and gradually established harmonious relationships.

One night, Xu Mingjie was tidying up things in the yard when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from his neighbors. He looked up and saw a group of people sitting together on the other side of the yard, chatting and laughing. Xu Mingjie was moved and decided to go over and say hello. When he got closer, he found that these people were some regular visitors to the yard, some of whom were close to the second uncle, and he didn't see them often.

"Good evening, everyone." Xu Mingjie walked forward, trying to appear natural and friendly. "Are there any special events tonight?"

A middle-aged man smiled and said, "Xu Mingjie, you're here just in time. We're having a party here, chatting and eating. Today is the day to celebrate Lao Wang's retirement."

Xu Mingjie was a little surprised, but he did not hesitate and sat down. "I see, congratulations, Lao Wang! Can I join?"

Everyone warmly welcomed Xu Mingjie, and he found that this group of people was not as indifferent as he had imagined. Through communication, he learned a lot about the interesting things and customs of the Siheyuan, and gradually integrated into this small circle. Although they didn't know Xu Mingjie well, this gathering made him feel a sense of intimacy.

During the evening conversation, Xu Mingjie paid special attention to several neighbors who had a good relationship with the second uncle. Through chatting, he learned about their views on the second uncle and some interesting things in their daily lives. This information gave him a more comprehensive understanding of the second uncle.
