Siheyuan: Dongfang Bubai is in his arms, and all the beasts are eliminated

"I know." Yu Li interrupted him, "But no matter how angry you are, you can't act impulsively. We are not children anymore. We must learn to control our emotions and deal with problems rationally."

Yang Limin was silent for a while. He knew what Yu Li said made sense, but he still couldn't let it go. "I didn't mean it. I just..."

Yu Li sighed and shook her head. "Forget it, it has already happened. I hope you can consider other people's feelings and the overall interests more in the future."

This conversation made Yang Limin feel heavy, and he realized that his behavior not only hurt He Xueyang, but also hurt Yu Li, who got along well with him. He deeply regretted it, but he also knew that apologizing and reflecting were the first steps towards repairing the relationship.

A few days later, Yang Limin tried to communicate with Yu Li again, hoping to resolve the knot in her heart. He found an opportunity to frankly apologize to Yu Li and express his guilt and regret.

"Yu Li, I know what I did was wrong. I was too impulsive." Yang Limin said seriously, "I shouldn't have done it, and I shouldn't have put myself in this situation. I'm really sorry to you and the residents of the entire courtyard."

Yu Li listened to his apology, and the anger in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a complex emotion. "Yang Limin, I understand your feelings, but this incident has a huge impact." She paused, "You know what I hate most is impulsiveness and irrationality."

Yang Limin nodded, "I know, I really regret this time. I will correct my mistakes and never let my emotions control me again."

Yu Li sighed softly, "Okay, since you have realized the problem, let's remain friends in the future." She looked at Yang Limin with a smile, "But I hope you can stay calm and don't let something like this happen again."

When Yang Limin heard this, he felt relieved. He knew that his image in Yu Li's heart had been damaged, but at least there was still a chance to redeem it. He nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Yu Li. I will work hard to improve myself and live up to your trust in me."

Siheyuan is a traditional residential building in Beijing, with typical northern characteristics. It is surrounded by houses on the east, west, south and north sides to form a square courtyard, with a spacious patio in the middle and houses made of blue bricks around it. Yang Limin's Siheyuan is located deep in the alley, and is a typical old Beijing style. The courtyard is full of various flowers and plants. Yang Limin especially likes those old plum blossoms. Every winter, when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, he always stays in the courtyard for a while to appreciate the flowers that bloom alone in the cold.

Yang Limin is a carpenter, a craft he learned from his father. Almost all wooden furniture in the courtyard is made by him, and neighbors always ask him for help when they need to repair something. He is a warm person with superb craftsmanship, so the relationship between neighbors in the courtyard is very harmonious. Every night, his woodworking room is always brightly lit, and the old saw in his hand swings back and forth, making a "swish" sound, accompanied by the shouts and bicycle bells from outside the yard, forming a unique melody of life.

His wife Liu Shuxian is a virtuous woman who takes care of the housework at home and keeps the yard in good order. They have a son named Yang Xiaoming, who is in elementary school. Xiaoming is a smart and lively child who likes to run around in the yard. Sometimes he helps his father pass tools, and sometimes he learns to do housework with his mother. Although the living conditions are not rich, the family lives happily.

The neighbors in the courtyard come from different backgrounds, including old Red Army soldiers, retired workers, small business vendors, and Yang Liming's good friend Lao Zhang, an electrician. The two often drink tea and chat together. Lao Zhang's son Xiao Zhang is also a good friend of Yang Xiaoming, and the relationship between the two families is as close as one family.

One day in 1976, a major earthquake hit Beijing. The houses in the courtyard were damaged and the neighbors in the courtyard were panicked. Yang Limin checked his house immediately and helped his neighbors repair the damaged parts. His firm and calm attitude made everyone feel safe in the panic. During that time, the residents of the courtyard supported each other and overcame difficulties together, which made Yang Limin feel the deep friendship between neighbors even more.

As the days passed in the courtyard, Yang Limin's life was also undergoing subtle changes. The country's reform and opening-up policy began to be implemented, and the residents of the courtyard began to discuss how to improve their lives. Some people wanted to go out to do business, while others wanted to continue to stick to traditional professions. Although Yang Limin was not rich, he was very confident in his carpentry work. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to live a better life.

Every morning, Yang Limin always gets up early, practices Tai Chi in the yard, and then starts his day's work. He likes this simple life. Although life can be hard sometimes, every time he sees the smiles on his family's faces and hears the praise from his neighbors, his heart is always filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Yang Limin's courtyard is not only his home, but also a witness to his life. It carries his dreams, his struggles and his hopes. No matter what happens in the future, he will take this small world as a starting point to meet every challenge in life.

Lou Xiao'e tells Qin Jingru about Yang Limin's situation

That evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the blue bricks and gray tiles of the courtyard, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze. Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru sat at a stone table in the middle of the courtyard, with steam rising from their teacups. Qin Jingru had just returned from visiting relatives in other places, and before he had time to inquire about the recent situation of the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e pulled him into the courtyard to chat.

"Sister Qin, you really should listen to Yang Limin's story." Lou Xiao'e poured tea for Qin Jingru and began to talk. "In the past few months, a lot of things have happened in the courtyard."

Qin Jingru smiled and nodded, her eyes full of curiosity, "Oh? What's new with Yang Limin?"

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of tea and said seriously, "You know, Yang Limin has always been the pillar of our courtyard. There was an earthquake a few months ago. The houses here were shaken badly. The roofs of several families collapsed. You saw that everyone was terrified at the time, but Yang Limin was the calmest. He helped his neighbors repair their houses without caring about the damage to his own house. He was very busy."
