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

Banggeng, Xiaopang, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu all squeezed to the front row, with curiosity gleaming in their eyes.

"Okay, everyone is ready, I'll start." Han Xiaodong turned on the lights, and the shadow play behind the curtain began.

The story is about an ancient legend, a hero saving a princess. Han Xiaodong manipulates the puppets with his skillful technique, making the plot tight and the characters vivid. Suddenly, a different character appears on the stage - Han Xiaodong's "Tape Man".

"What is this?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise.

"Why does he feel different from other characters?" Liu Haizhong frowned.

The children opened their eyes wide and were completely fascinated.

Han Xiaodong was secretly proud of himself. He deliberately let the "Tape Man" play a key role in the plot, which triggered a series of misunderstandings and jokes. As the story progressed, the "Tape Man" gradually merged with other shadow puppets and it was completely unrecognizable as a dummy made of tape.

After the story, Han Xiaodong walked to the front and bowed to everyone: "Thank you all for your support. Today's special program ends here."

The neighbors applauded and expressed their appreciation.

"Han Xiaodong, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. This 'tape man' is so lifelike!" Yan Bugui exclaimed.

"Yes, Han Xiaodong, how did you come up with this idea?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. I just used some tape and scissors and spent some time to make it."

The children surrounded the "tape man" and stared at him intently. Bang Geng reached out and touched it, and said in surprise: "Brother Han Xiaodong, this 'tape man' really looks alive!"

Xiaopang also nodded: "Yes, Brother Han Xiaodong, can you teach us how to do it?"

Han Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "Of course, I will teach you how to make a smaller 'tape man' someday. I guarantee you can do it well."

Neighbors expressed their anticipation, and everyone gathered together to chat and share their own interesting stories. As night fell, the twinkling lights were reflected in the courtyard, everyone laughed continuously, and the warm atmosphere filled the whole courtyard.

The next day, Han Xiaodong taught the children how to make a "tape man" as promised. He took out tape and scissors and demonstrated step by step. The children were fascinated and followed his steps, carefully cutting and pasting. Bang Geng made a small "tape man" first. Although it was a little crooked, it was already recognizable as a human figure.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, how did I do?" Banggeng asked excitedly.

Han Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "Very good, great, you did a great job, it would be even better if you embellish it a little bit."

Xiao Pang also ran over with his own work: "Brother Han Xiaodong, how about my 'Tape Man'?"

Han Xiaodong took a closer look and praised: "Xiaopang, yours is also great. Keep up the hard work and you can all do better."

After hearing Han Xiaodong's encouragement, the children became more devoted to making the crafts. Han Xiaodong felt warm in his heart as he watched them. He knew that these simple handicrafts could not only make the children happy, but also cultivate their hands-on ability and creativity.

A few days later, the courtyard welcomed another special day. Today was Liu Haizhong's birthday, and everyone decided to celebrate for him. Han Xiaodong specially prepared a small "tape man" as a gift for Liu Haizhong.

In the evening, neighbors gathered at Liu Haizhong's home. The table was filled with various delicacies. Everyone sat together in a warm atmosphere. Han Xiaodong took out the gift he had prepared and handed it to Liu Haizhong with a smile: "Brother Liu, this is the 'tape man' I made especially for you. Happy birthday to you!"

Liu Haizhong took the gift with surprise and looked at it carefully: "Han Xiaodong, you are so thoughtful. This 'tape man' is really well made. I like it very much!"

"As long as Brother Liu likes it, this is a little gift from us." Han Xiaodong said with a smile.

Qin Huairu also laughed and said, "Han Xiaodong, your skills are getting better and better. This 'tape man' is really lifelike."

Liu Haizhong said with emotion: "Thank you everyone, I am so lucky to have neighbors like you."

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate Liu Haizhong's birthday, and laughter and blessings echoed in the courtyard. The children also ran around, happily playing with the "tape man" they made, and the courtyard was full of a joyful atmosphere.

Han Xiaodong returned home, feeling satisfied and happy. He knew that although there were many unsatisfactory things in life, with the company of these neighbors and friends, his life was still full of warmth and hope.

The next day, Han Xiaodong got up early and started a new day's work. He walked into the yard and saw Qin Huairu washing clothes and Liu Haizhong arranging flowers and plants. Everyone's busy and fulfilling life made him feel at ease.

"Han Xiaodong, are you free today? Let's go buy some food and prepare for dinner tonight." Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Okay, Brother Liu, let's go together."

The two walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the market. On the way, they chatted and shared their interesting stories and feelings. Han Xiaodong felt that although life was ordinary, everything became so beautiful with the company of these relatives and friends.

Arriving at the market, Han Xiaodong and Liu Haizhong picked out fresh vegetables and meat and prepared a lot of delicious ingredients. Back at the courtyard, they worked with Qin Huairu to prepare for the evening dinner.

"Han Xiaodong, come and help me cut the vegetables. Brother Liu, go and cook the soup." Qin Huairu gave orders in an orderly manner.

Han Xiaodong and Liu Haizhong worked well together, and everyone worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Neighbors came one after another, bringing their own specialties, and the courtyard was filled with laughter again.

"Han Xiaodong, your knife skills are really good. The vegetables are cut so evenly." Liu Haizhong praised.

Han Xiaodong responded with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Liu. Actually, I also learned from you. We can learn from each other."

The children gathered around the table, staring at the delicious food with their mouths watering. Bang Geng couldn't help but say, "Brother Han Xiaodong, when is dinner ready? I'm starving!"

Han Xiaodong smiled and patted his head: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

Finally, all the dishes were served and everyone sat around the table, toasting to celebrate.

Han Xiaodong made a sweeping robot to clean the compound, but he unexpectedly broke Banggeng's porcelain vase and was insulted by the Jia family.

On a hot afternoon, Han Xiaodong squatted in his yard, fiddling with a bunch of parts. He had spent several days researching how to make a simple sweeping robot. Although the technical conditions were limited, Han Xiaodong believed that he could make a practical tool with his intelligence and hands-on ability.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, what are you doing?" Banggeng came over, his eyes full of curiosity.

"I'm making a sweeping robot, and I hope it can help clean the yard." Han Xiaodong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

"Wow, a sweeping robot? That's amazing! Can I see it?" Banggeng asked excitedly.

Han Xiaodong nodded and showed the semi-finished product to Bang Geng: "Look, this is its wheel, and here is the motor. After it is installed, it can run around in the yard by itself and sweep away the dust on the ground."

Bang Geng stared at it intently: "Brother Han Xiaodong, you are really amazing. I want to learn how to make this kind of thing in the future."

"Okay, I'll teach you later. When I'm done, let's try it together."

A few hours later, Han Xiaodong finally finished assembling the robot vacuum cleaner. He pressed the switch and the robot began to move slowly in the yard, sweeping as it went, cleaning up the dust and pebbles on the ground one by one.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, look, it's moving!" Banggeng jumped up excitedly.

Han Xiaodong nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems that my design was successful."

However, accidents always happen inadvertently. Just when Han Xiaodong and Banggeng were happy about the success of the sweeping robot, the robot suddenly lost control and rushed straight towards Banggeng's house. Before Han Xiaodong could react, the robot hit a porcelain bottle placed in front of Banggeng's house, and with a "pop" sound, the porcelain bottle broke into countless pieces.

"Oh no!" Han Xiaodong's heart tightened and he quickly ran over to check.

At this time, Jia Zhang heard the noise and ran out of the house. Seeing the broken pieces of the porcelain bottle on the ground, her face suddenly turned pale: "Who did this? This is a treasure passed down in my family!"

Han Xiaodong quickly stepped forward to apologize: "Aunt Jia, I'm sorry, it was my robot vacuum cleaner that lost control and broke your porcelain vase. I will definitely compensate you."

Jia Zhang was so angry that her face turned pale: "Compensation? Do you know how valuable this porcelain vase is? Can you afford it? You are a prodigal son, you only know how to mess things up. Look at you now, you can't even keep a porcelain vase!"

Jia Dongxu also came out of the house, frowning: "Han Xiaodong, you've really made a big mistake this time. This porcelain vase is my mother's favorite, you have to give us an explanation."

Han Xiaodong felt guilty and helpless, and whispered: "Uncle Jia, Aunt Jia, this is my fault. I will do my best to compensate you for your losses."

At this time, the neighbors also gathered around, and Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu also hurried forward to help persuade them.

"Aunt Jia, calm down. Han Xiaodong didn't mean it. He didn't expect this to happen." Qin Huairu said.

"Yes, Uncle Jia, Aunt Jia, we are neighbors. Let's talk it out. Han Xiaodong will definitely find a way to compensate you." Liu Haizhong also said.

However, Jia Zhang refused to listen and angrily accused Han Xiaodong: "What compensation? How much can he pay? This porcelain vase is a treasure that has been passed down in our family for generations. What can he pay with?"

Han Xiaodong felt more and more guilty, he knew that he had really caused a big disaster this time.
