Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Jia Dongxu finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements."

A few days later, Wang Qiang arranged a gathering with friends and invited Xiao Zhang to come. The gathering was held in the courtyard, and Wang Qiang and Li Yajing prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain everyone. Jia Dongxu was a little nervous, but when he saw Xiao Zhang's cheerful smile, he gradually relaxed.

During the dinner, everyone was chatting happily. Xiao Zhang told jokes from time to time, making everyone laugh. Jia Dongxu was also infected by her enthusiasm, and slowly let go of his restraint and started chatting with Xiao Zhang.

Wang Qiang saw this and was secretly happy. He leaned close to Li Yajing's ear and whispered, "It seems that Dongxu and Xiaozhang are having a good chat."

Li Yajing smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I hope they can have a good result." She was also happy for Jia Dongxu, thinking that such a gathering of friends not only enhanced everyone's feelings, but also gave Jia Dongxu a chance.

After the party, Jia Dongxu sent Xiao Zhang home. The two chatted a lot along the way and found that they had a lot in common. Xiao Zhang's hearty laughter and warm smile made Jia Dongxu feel at ease. Before parting, Jia Dongxu plucked up the courage to ask Xiao Zhang for his contact information. Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "We can keep in touch more often. It's also good to be friends."

Jia Dongxu was extremely excited and expectant when he got Xiao Zhang's phone number. It was late at night when he returned to the courtyard, but he couldn't calm down for a long time. He thought about everything that happened tonight and felt that he might really have a chance to say goodbye to being single.

In the following days, Jia Dongxu and Xiao Zhang began to contact each other frequently and the number of dates increased. Every time they went on a date, Jia Dongxu would prepare carefully, hoping to leave a good impression on Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang also liked this honest and simple man more and more, and felt that although he was not good at speaking, he was very sincere and reliable.

Once, Jia Dongxu plucked up the courage to invite Xiao Zhang to watch a movie. Xiao Zhang readily agreed, and the two made an appointment and went to the cinema. After the movie, they went to dinner together and talked a lot about their inner thoughts. Xiao Zhang found that Jia Dongxu was actually a very thoughtful person, but he was not good at expressing himself. She liked Jia Dongxu more and more and felt that she had found someone she could rely on.

That night, Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard and saw Wang Qiang watering the flowers in the yard. He walked over and said with a smile on his face: "Wang Qiang, Xiao Zhang and I have been getting along very well recently. She said she thinks I am very reliable."

Wang Qiang put down the kettle, patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "That's great, Dongxu, you finally have good news." He felt extremely happy for his friend and felt that his efforts were not in vain.

Jia Dongxu nodded, his eyes full of hope and expectation. He looked at the night sky and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this relationship would develop smoothly and that he could find his own happiness.

In this way, there was another sweet couple in the courtyard. Wang Qiang and Li Yajing felt very happy when they saw the happy faces of Jia Dongxu and Xiao Zhang. They felt that although life was ordinary, as long as there was love and warmth, people could feel very happy.

On a sunny weekend, Wang Qiang and Li Yajing were arranging flowers and plants in the yard. A kitten jumped happily at their feet, and the courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere. While Wang Qiang was trimming the branches, he was chatting with Li Yajing.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside. Wang Qiang looked up and saw Bang Geng standing at the gate, holding a stick and yelling at a child. Wang Qiang frowned, put down the scissors, walked over and asked, "Bang Geng, what are you doing?"

Bang Geng turned around and saw Wang Qiang, with a flash of disdain in his eyes. He waved the stick in his hand and said, "This kid stole something from my house. I'm teaching him a lesson. What does it have to do with you?"

Wang Qiang looked at the child, who was obviously frightened, with fear in his eyes, pale lips, and a slight tremor in his body. He suddenly became furious and said coldly, "If you have something to say, just talk it over. Why resort to violence? Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that he stole something from your house?"

Banggeng snorted and said, "A few candies are missing from my house. He must have stolen them! This kid is not honest and often wanders around the yard."

Wang Qiang got even angrier when he heard this. He knew that Bang Geng was a domineering person who would bully others at any time. Today, he decided that he couldn't let Bang Geng do that again. He walked in front of Bang Geng, stood in front of the child, and said, "You can't accuse someone without evidence, let alone hit him."

Bang Geng's eyes flashed with anger, and he raised the stick to hit him. Wang Qiang was quick to grab Bang Geng's wrist and said coldly, "Put it down!" Bang Geng struggled for a while, but couldn't break free, and shouted angrily, "Let me go!"

Wang Qiang held his wrist tightly and pushed hard, causing the stick to stagger back a few steps and the stick in his hand fell to the ground. The neighbors were attracted by the noise and gathered around to watch the scene. Li Yajing also came over and looked at Wang Qiang worriedly.

Wang Qiang walked up, grabbed Banggeng by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and said coldly: "If I see you bullying others again, I will not let you go so easily. I hope you can learn a lesson from what happened today."

Bang Geng was frightened by Wang Qiang's momentum and his face turned pale. His lips trembled for a moment, but he said stubbornly: "You...what right do you have to teach me a lesson?"

Wang Qiang sneered and said, "I don't want to mind your business, but if you bully the weak, it's my business. Today I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of everyone!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qiang swung his fist and hit Bang Geng's abdomen hard. Bang Geng bent over in pain, with a painful expression on his face.

The neighbors around saw this scene, some nodded in praise, while others looked at Wang Qiang and Bang Geng worriedly. Li Yajing pulled Wang Qiang's sleeve and said softly, "Brother Qiang, don't be too impulsive."

Wang Qiang looked at Bang Geng, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He loosened his grip on Bang Geng and said coldly, "Remember this lesson and don't bully others again." After that, he turned around and pulled Li Yajing back to the yard.

Back in the yard, Wang Qiang looked at Li Yajing, with a trace of guilt in his eyes. He knew he was a little impulsive just now, but he couldn't help it when he saw Banggeng bullying others. Li Yajing gently held his hand and said softly: "Brother Qiang, I know you are trying to help that kid, but you should be calmer next time."

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "You are right, I will pay attention next time." He felt a warm feeling in his heart. With Li Yajing by his side, he felt that he could become a better person.
