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

Qin Huairu took a burger curiously and looked at it carefully: "How do you eat this?"

Han Xiaodong demonstrated with a smile: "It's very simple, just bite it directly."

Qin Huairu tried to take a bite, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "This tastes really good, I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

At this time, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai also came out. Seeing the hamburger in Qin Huairu's hand, Liu Haizhong asked, "What's this new thing?"

Han Xiaodong explained: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Yi, these are hamburgers. I saw someone selling them at the entrance of the alley today, so I bought a few and brought them back for everyone to try."

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai also tried a bite and said in unison: "Not bad, it tastes really good."

Li Ting came out of the house and saw everyone gathered together. She asked, "What delicious food are you eating?"

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Li Ting, this is a hamburger, come and try it."

Li Ting took a burger, took a bite, and showed a surprised expression on her face: "Brother Han Xiaodong, this tastes great!"

Everyone ate hamburgers and chatted about family matters. Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Xiao Han Xiaodong, you always bring something new and interesting. You are really thoughtful."

Han Xiaodong said modestly: "Everyone is so nice to me, I just do my best to show my appreciation."

Liu Haizhong patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "Little Han Xiaodong, you are really our lucky star. With you here, our life in the courtyard is getting better and better."

After dinner, everyone sat in the yard and talked about recent events. Han Xiaodong asked, "Uncle Liu, how is the work at the lumber yard going recently?"

Liu Haizhong nodded: "The factory has received several large orders recently, and everyone is working overtime to catch up with the work."

After chatting for a while, Han Xiaodong suddenly remembered some strange things he had seen recently in the lumber yard, so he asked, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Yi, have you noticed any suspicious people near the lumber yard recently?"

Liu Haizhong frowned: "Xiao Han Xiaodong, are you saying that someone is stealing wood?"

Han Xiaodong shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, but I think some people's behavior is very suspicious. Everyone should pay more attention."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Okay, we will keep an eye on it and let you know if there is any situation."

In the next few days, Han Xiaodong continued to work in the lumberyard, while also paying attention to the surrounding situation. One day, he suddenly found a stranger wandering around the warehouse. Han Xiaodong decided to follow him to see what was going on.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Han Xiaodong walked up and asked sternly.

The man seemed a little flustered and stammered, "I...I'm just passing by, nothing special."

Han Xiaodong didn't believe his explanation and continued to ask: "Passing by? Then you have been wandering around here for so long, do you have other purposes?"

The man's face turned ugly, and he suddenly turned around and ran. Han Xiaodong immediately chased him and grabbed his arm tightly: "Don't run, tell me clearly what you are doing here!"

At this time, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai also arrived. When they saw Han Xiaodong catch the man, they hurried over to help. Liu Haizhong said, "Little Han Xiaodong, who is this person?"

Han Xiaodong said coldly: "He is wandering around the warehouse, which is very suspicious."

The man was surrounded by several people and finally stammered, "I...I just want to see if there is anything valuable."

Yi Zhonghai said sternly: "Do you think this is a place you can come and go as you please? We will call the police immediately."

The man turned pale with fear and begged for mercy: "Don't call the police, don't call the police, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."

Han Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "We can let you go this time, but you must promise not to do it again in the future, otherwise I will never let you go."

The man nodded repeatedly: "I promise, I will never do it again."

After several people let the man go, Liu Haizhong said, "Xiao Han Xiaodong, this time it's thanks to you for discovering it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Everyone should be more vigilant in the future and not let these people take advantage of the opportunity."

Li Ting said with concern: "Brother Han Xiaodong, you must be more careful in the future and protect yourself when encountering such a situation."

The deaf old lady also smiled and said, "Little Han Xiaodong, you are really our protector. With you around, we are relieved."

Han Xiaodong looked at everyone with gratitude, and his heart was filled with strength. He knew that he not only had to manage the timber yard well, but also had to protect everyone in the courtyard.

Han Xiaodong rode his bicycle, carrying a pound of Laosijiucheng sesame paste he had just bought, and slowly set off on his way home. The aroma of the sesame paste spread in the air as the wheels rolled, which filled him with anticipation. He thought that the sesame paste would definitely bring surprise and happiness to everyone in the courtyard.

When he returned to the courtyard, he found many strangers in the yard. They stood beside Qin Huairu, talking and laughing with her. Han Xiaodong felt puzzled and pushed his bicycle over.

"Sister Qin, it's so lively here, is there any happy event today?" Han Xiaodong asked with a smile.

Qin Huairu smiled when she saw Han Xiaodong. She pointed at the strangers and said, "Little Han Xiaodong, you're back just in time. Let me introduce you. These are some of my old classmates who came to see me today. This is Sister Zhang, that is Brother Li, and there is Sister Wang and their children."

Han Xiaodong nodded and greeted everyone with a smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Han Xiaodong, and I am a resident here."

Sister Zhang smiled and said, "Hello, little Han Xiaodong. I heard from Huairu that you are a warm-hearted person. I am glad to meet you today."

Han Xiaodong smiled and replied, "No, it's what neighbors should do."

Brother Li asked with great interest: "Little Han Xiaodong, what good thing are you holding in your hand?"

Han Xiaodong held up the sesame sauce and said with a smile: "This is the sesame sauce from Lao Sijiucheng that I just bought. It is very fragrant. I think everyone will like it."

Qin Huairu was surprised when she heard this: "Little Han Xiaodong, you are so thoughtful. This sesame sauce is our treasure. Bring it over for everyone to taste."

Han Xiaodong handed the sesame sauce to Qin Huairu, and felt warm in his heart when he saw her discussing the sesame sauce with several old classmates. Although these strangers met for the first time, their enthusiasm and kindness made Han Xiaodong feel very cordial.

At this time, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai also came over. Seeing Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu together, Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Little Han Xiaodong, what good things did you buy today?"

Han Xiaodong showed them the sesame sauce and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Yi, this is the sesame sauce from Laosijiucheng. It's very fragrant. You are all in for a treat today."

Yi Zhonghai took a sniff and praised: "This sesame sauce is really good, with a strong aroma. We must try it tonight."

Everyone gathered together, tasting sesame sauce and chatting about family matters. Sister Zhang said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, you really married in the right place. The neighbors in this courtyard are really nice."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Yes, our neighbors here are very nice, helping each other, just like a family."

Brother Li also agreed: "Yes, with such neighborly relations, life is more interesting."

Han Xiaodong felt extremely satisfied as he listened to everyone's conversation. He knew that it was his efforts and everyone's unity that made this courtyard so warm and harmonious.

After chatting for a while, everyone started to prepare dinner. Han Xiaodong took the initiative to suggest: "Everyone is here today, why don't we cook a big meal together and use this sesame sauce as a dipping sauce, I guarantee everyone will enjoy the meal."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Han Xiaodong, you are really good at making arrangements. We will listen to you then."

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai also agreed, and everyone worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Li Ting and Banggeng helped serve the dishes, and the deaf old lady was invited out to sit in the main seat. The whole courtyard was filled with laughter.

Sister Zhang smiled and said, "This sesame paste is really good. It seems we have to ask you for advice and buy it here in the future."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "As long as everyone likes it, we can go shopping together in the future, and I promise that we will bring back good things every time."

After dinner, everyone sat in the yard and chatted about family matters. Brother Li said with emotion: "Huai Ru, your place is really a good place. You have so many good neighbors. Life is so enjoyable."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Yes, with everyone's help, our lives will get better and better."

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Little Han Xiaodong, grandma knows, you should all go to bed early and don't worry about me."

At night, Han Xiaodong lay in bed, thinking about everything that happened today. He knew that everyone in the courtyard was his closest person, and he would work hard to make them all live a good life. As long as everyone was united, there was no difficulty that could not be overcome. Thinking about it, Han Xiaodong gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Han Xiaodong got up and prepared to go to work at the lumberyard. Before leaving, he went to see the deaf old lady and was relieved to see that she was in good spirits.

Han Xiaodong carried the old Sijiucheng sesame sauce he had bought and went straight back to the courtyard. He walked into the courtyard and saw Yi Zhonghai sitting alone at the door, smoking one cigarette after another with a sad look on his face.

Han Xiaodong's heart moved, he walked over and asked with concern: "Uncle Yi, why are you sitting here alone? Is there something wrong?"

Yi Zhonghai raised his head and saw Han Xiaodong, and forced a smile: "Oh, nothing, little Han Xiaodong, you are back?"

Han Xiaodong noticed that Yi Zhonghai's brows were furrowed and his expression was heavy. He knew that something must be bothering him, so he sat down next to Yi Zhonghai and said softly, "Uncle Yi, you look a little bit wrong. Can you tell me what's going on? Maybe I can help."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, raised his hand and shook the ash: "Xiao Han Xiaodong, do you remember that I mentioned my little daughter to you?"
