Siheyuan: Killing the gods against the will of heaven, causing great suffering to all living beings

She handed the letter to Han Xiaodong and said with a smile: "Xiao Han Xiaodong, Li Ting asked me to give this to you."

Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then took the letter and opened it with some excitement.

The deaf old lady sewed soles for Han Xiaodong and her granddaughter, and called Qin Huairu for help.

In the 1970s, the spring sunshine shone on the blue brick and tile roofs of the Siheyuan in the Sijiu City, reflecting a faint golden light. Han Xiaodong sat in his yard, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the yard opposite. The deaf old lady was sitting at the door, holding a needle and thread in her hand, sewing the soles of shoes one stitch at a time. Her granddaughter Li Ting sat beside her, also busy with needlework. Today, another person joined them - Qin Huairu.

Han Xiaodong put down the book, walked over, and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, deaf old lady, Li Ting, Sister Qin."

The deaf old lady raised her head and smiled kindly: "Little Han Xiaodong, are you okay today?"

Han Xiaodong nodded. "The factory is closed today, so there's nothing to do."

Qin Huairu looked up at Han Xiaodong and said with a smile: "Little Han Xiaodong, come over and give us a hand. We are old and feeble, and we are not as agile as you, a young man."

Han Xiaodong walked over quickly and sat next to them: "Okay, I'll help. But I don't know how to sew shoe soles, so I can only help out."

Li Ting smiled and said softly, "Brother Han Xiaodong, you are quite diligent."

Han Xiaodong scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Li Ting, if you need any help, just let me know."

The deaf old lady looked at the two of them, smiled and said to Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, what a good marriage we young people have."

Qin Huairu nodded and agreed: "Yes, old lady, you are right."

Han Xiaodong blushed and looked at Li Ting awkwardly, and found that she also lowered her head a little embarrassedly. In order to ease the embarrassment, Han Xiaodong changed the subject: "Sister Qin, how is your family recently?"

Qin Huairu sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her voice: "Ah, it's still the same old things. Yan Bugui is always causing trouble, and the children are also worrying."

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Qin Huairu, you are such a worrywart."

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, old lady, you are right."

Li Ting saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, and said softly: "Grandma, Brother Han Xiaodong, I actually have something to tell you today."

Han Xiaodong and the deaf old lady both looked at Li Ting, who bit her lip nervously: "Brother Han Xiaodong, Grandma, Sister Qin, I actually... want to apply to medical school."

The deaf old lady was stunned for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, girl, you have ambition!"

Han Xiaodong's eyes lit up as well, and he said excitedly: "Li Ting, this is great news! You must keep going, I support you!"

Qin Huairu also nodded and agreed: "Li Ting, if you get into medical school, you will have a good future. Grandma will be happy for you too."

Li Ting looked at everyone gratefully: "Thank you for your support, I will work hard."

The deaf old lady continued to sew the soles of her shoes and said with a smile, "Girl, prepare well. We will all cheer for you."

In the following days, Li Ting took care of the deaf old lady while preparing for the medical school entrance examination. Han Xiaodong also did his best to help her, whether it was sending books or buying study materials for her.

One evening, Han Xiaodong just got off work at the factory and returned to the courtyard. He saw Li Ting standing in the yard, holding a piece of paper in her hand, with an excited smile on her face. Han Xiaodong walked over quickly and asked with concern: "Li Ting, what's wrong? Any good news?"

Li Ting waved the paper in her hand excitedly: "Brother Han Xiaodong, I passed the exam! I got into medical school!"

Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile broke out on his face: "That's great, Li Ting, I'm so happy for you!"

The deaf old lady heard the noise and came out of the house. When she saw Li Ting, tears welled up in her eyes: "Good child, grandma is proud of you!"

Qin Huairu also came out of her house and said with a smile: "Li Ting, you are so great!"

Han Xiaodong looked at Li Ting, his heart filled with joy and pride. He knew that this was not only Li Ting's victory, but also the pride of their entire courtyard. From that day on, Li Ting studied harder to prepare for her upcoming medical school life. And Han Xiaodong silently supported her behind the scenes and did his best to share her pressure.

Time flies, and Li Ting finally welcomed the day to report to the medical school. That morning, everyone in the courtyard came to see her off. The deaf old lady wiped her tears and told Li Ting to take good care of herself. Qin Huairu also gave Li Ting a pair of cloth shoes she made, hoping that Li Ting could go further in them. Han Xiaodong gave her a copy of his favorite medical book, hoping that Li Ting could make further progress in her studies.

Li Ting stood at the station and looked back at the familiar courtyard, her heart filled with reluctance and gratitude. She took a deep breath and waved goodbye to everyone: "Grandma, Brother Han Xiaodong, Sister Qin, and everyone, thank you! I will work hard!"

Watching Li Ting drive away, Han Xiaodong felt a complex emotion. He knew that his feelings for her were still deep, but he also understood that this relationship needed the test of time and distance.

After Li Ting left, Han Xiaodong's life returned to normal, but he still cared about her news every day. Every time he received a letter from Li Ting, he would read it carefully and then write back to tell her about the big and small things in the courtyard and tell her his thoughts and blessings for her.

One evening, Han Xiaodong just came back from get off work and saw a lot of people gathered in the yard. He walked closer and saw that it was the birthday of the deaf old lady, and everyone came to celebrate. Qin Huairu was busy preparing food, and Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were also helping. Han Xiaodong saw this lively scene, and his heart was warmed, and he hurried forward to help.

The deaf old lady saw Han Xiaodong and said with a smile: "Little Han Xiaodong, come here. Today is my birthday. Let's have some fun together."

Han Xiaodong smiled and nodded, and walked over to help. Everyone sat together, eating and chatting, the atmosphere was very warm. The deaf old lady watched all this, her eyes full of satisfaction and joy.

Qin Huairu picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Come on, let's celebrate for the old lady and wish her good health and a long life!"

Everyone raised their glasses and wished in unison: "I wish the old lady good health and a long life!"

The deaf old lady smiled from ear to ear: "Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone."

After the dinner, Han Xiaodong sat with the deaf old lady in the yard. The old lady said with emotion: "Little Han Xiaodong, you are so kind to our family. Li Ting has been gone for so long, but you have never changed."

Han Xiaodong whispered: "Old lady, Li Ting is the person I like, I am willing to wait for her."

The old lady nodded, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes: "Little Han Xiaodong, I can see that you are sincere. Li Ting is also a good girl, she will definitely understand your feelings."

Han Xiaodong smiled, his eyes firm: "I will wait for her until the day she comes back."

Time passed quietly, and Li Ting's life in medical school gradually stabilized. She studied hard, achieved excellent results, and soon stood out among her classmates. Han Xiaodong was still in the courtyard, silently supporting her and waiting for her return.

One year later, Li Ting suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Han Xiaodong was repairing a bicycle in the yard. The moment he saw her, he was stunned. He put down the tools in his hands and walked over quickly: "Li Ting, you are back!"

Li Ting nodded, with a bright smile on her face: "Brother Han Xiaodong, I'm back!"

The deaf old lady heard the noise and hurried out of the house. When she saw her granddaughter, her eyes were full of tears: "Girl, you are finally back!"

Li Ting ran over and hugged her grandmother tightly: "Grandma, I'm back and I'm never leaving again."

Han Xiaodong was filled with joy and emotion when he saw this scene. He knew that his wait had finally paid off.

From that day on, Li Ting and Han Xiaodong became closer. The two spent countless beautiful days in the courtyard.

Han Xiaodong's schoolbag and ID were accidentally lost.

In the 1970s, the courtyards of the Siheyuan were always bustling. Every morning, Han Xiaodong always got up early, helped his parents with housework, and then rode his bicycle to work in the factory. Today the air was particularly fresh, and Han Xiaodong thought it was a good day. He hummed a little song, prepared everything, and pushed his bicycle out the door.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, good morning!" Li Ting happened to be in the yard. When she saw Han Xiaodong, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"Li Ting, good morning!" Han Xiaodong responded in a good mood. He always liked to see Li Ting's energetic smile.

"Is the factory busy today?" asked Li Ting, holding a bouquet of flowers just picked from the garden, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Fortunately, the project is about to be completed, so I shouldn't be too busy." Han Xiaodong replied with a smile, his eyes involuntarily attracted to Li Ting.

"Then you do your best. I'm going to school too." Li Ting said, putting the flowers in a vase.

"You too, keep going." Han Xiaodong nodded, feeling a little warm in his heart. He waved, got on his bike, and headed towards the factory.

In the factory, the roar of machines and the clashing of metals rang through his ears as usual. Han Xiaodong parked his bicycle and was about to enter the workshop when he suddenly realized that his schoolbag was missing. He stopped abruptly and felt nervous: "Oh no, where is my schoolbag?"

Han Xiaodong looked around anxiously but found nothing. He remembered that he had carried his schoolbag with him when he left the house in the morning, but now it was gone. He began to get anxious because his ID and some important documents were in the schoolbag. Han Xiaodong sighed helplessly and had to ask his colleagues in the factory for help.
