Han Xiaodong put the gift box on the ground, and the children reached out to take it, and each of them picked out the toys they liked. Han Xiaodong felt extremely satisfied when he saw the happy faces of the children.

Qin Huairu saw this scene and walked over and said, "Han Xiaodong, you are so thoughtful. The children are so happy."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Sister Qin, these are just small toys, not worth much. As long as the children like them, it's fine."

Liu Haizhong also came over and patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder, "Han Xiaodong, you are such a good guy, you know how to care about others."

Han Xiaodong was a little embarrassed, "Uncle Liu, everyone is so kind to me, I also want to do something for everyone."

Just when everyone was having fun, Yan Bugui came over with a letter in his hand. He looked a little serious and said to Han Xiaodong, "Han Xiaodong, is this letter from you?"

Han Xiaodong took the letter and saw his name on it. He was a little confused. "It's mine, Uncle Yan. Where did you get it from?"

Yan Bugui said, "A courier just delivered it and said it's yours."

Han Xiaodong opened the envelope and found a short note inside which read: "Han Xiaodong, thank you for your concern for the children. These toys are from me. I wish you a happy holiday." The signature was a simple "friend."

After reading the letter, Han Xiaodong became even more confused, "Friend? Who is that?"

Qin Huairu read the letter and smiled: "Whoever it is, he must be a kind person to give these toys to the children."

Han Xiaodong nodded. "Yes, no matter who it is, I am very grateful to him."

After playing for a while, the children went home for lunch. Han Xiaodong looked at the empty yard and thought of the mysterious "friend". He felt a little warm and cherished the friendship between neighbors even more.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong was busy in the factory when he suddenly received a call from his mother. His mother's voice was a little hurried, "Han Xiaodong, please come back soon. There seems to be something wrong with our old house."

Han Xiaodong's heart tightened. When he got home, his mother told him that the old house in the yard had fallen into disrepair and several tiles had fallen off. Fortunately, no one was hit, but the situation was not optimistic.

Han Xiaodong frowned, "Mom, we have to fix it quickly, otherwise it will be more dangerous in the future."

Mother sighed, "Yes, but it will cost a lot of money to repair the house, and our current situation is not very good."

Han Xiaodong thought for a while and said, "Mom, I'll go talk to the neighbors and see if we can all help. We have a lot of people in our yard."

The mother nodded and said, "Okay, go ask."

Han Xiaodong walked into the yard and saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui sitting together chatting. He walked over and told them the situation.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately said, "Han Xiaodong, don't worry about this. Let's all work together to repair the house. Look at my hands, they are perfect for this."

Yan Bugui also nodded in agreement, "Yes, we in the Siheyuan cannot stand by and watch someone die. If you need anything, just let us know."

Han Xiaodong was touched and said, "Thank you. I really appreciate it."

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "What's the big deal? We are all neighbors. If someone is in trouble, we all help them. This is human nature."

Han Xiaodong went to see Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai again, and they all supported his idea. Han Xiaodong felt warm in his heart and felt that he was lucky to live in such a loving environment.

The next day, everyone came to Han Xiaodong's house with tools and started repairing the roof. Han Xiaodong and Liu Haizhong climbed onto the roof and carefully checked each tile. Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai handed tools downstairs, while Qin Huairu was responsible for cooking and serving tea and food to everyone.

While working, Liu Haizhong said, "Han Xiaodong, this roof really needs to be repaired. We can't be careless."

Han Xiaodong nodded. "Yes, fortunately you guys helped me, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Little Han Xiaodong, don't worry. We are here to help you build a solid house."

After a busy day, the roof was finally repaired. Han Xiaodong looked at the newly repaired roof and felt extremely satisfied. He said to everyone, "Thank you for your hard work today."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "It's all due. We are a family in this courtyard."

Han Xiaodong said with emotion: "Yes, we are a family."

Everyone nodded, and smiles bloomed on everyone's face. Han Xiaodong felt warm in his heart, knowing that no matter what difficulties he encountered, with the support of these neighbors, he would have infinite strength to face them.

In the evening, Han Xiaodong and his mother sat in the house. His mother looked at him and said with satisfaction: "Han Xiaodong, you did a great job today."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Mom, with so many good neighbors, our family will definitely get better and better."

The mother nodded and said, "Yes, with them here, we are not afraid of any difficulties."

As time went by, Han Xiaodong became more and more adept at his job in the factory, and his masters gave him higher and higher praise. He left home early and came back late every day, studying and working hard, with a vision for the future in his heart.

One day, Han Xiaodong was busy in the workshop when he suddenly received a call. It was the factory manager on the other end of the phone. The manager's voice was a little serious, "Han Xiaodong, come to my office."

Han Xiaodong's heart tightened, not knowing what had happened. He put down his work and rushed to the manager's office. The manager saw him, motioned him to sit down, and handed him a letter.

Han Xiaodong took the letter, opened it, and found that it was a notice that he had been selected as an "excellent apprentice." He was a little surprised, "Manager, is this true?"

The manager smiled and nodded, "Yes, Han Xiaodong, you have performed well in your work, and everyone agrees that you are the most suitable candidate."

Han Xiaodong felt excited, "Thank you, manager. I will continue to work hard and live up to everyone's expectations."

The manager nodded with satisfaction and said, "Work hard, young man. You have a bright future."

Han Xiaodong walked out of the office with a heart full of joy. He knew that this was a recognition of his efforts and an encouragement for the future.

When he returned home in the evening, Han Xiaodong told his mother the good news.

The door lock of Han Xiaodong's house was damaged in an accident. It was a rainy evening and the door hinge was rusty. After trying several times, Han Xiaodong found that the door lock could not be opened at all. He looked at the door that could not be locked and felt a little worried. This situation was not good. Everyone in the courtyard knew that if the house was not locked, thieves might come in accidentally.

Han Xiaodong thought about it and decided to borrow a bicycle chain from his neighbor Yan Bugui to temporarily lock the door, and then go to the hardware store to buy a new lock in a few days. Yan Bugui's house was next door, and he agreed to Han Xiaodong's request and quickly found the old chain in the house.

"Han Xiaodong, this chain is still strong. You can use it first and return it to me when you buy a new lock." Yan Bugui said with a smile and handed the chain to Han Xiaodong.

Han Xiaodong nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Yan. I'll just have to make do with it for the next few days."

That night, Han Xiaodong locked the door with Yan Bugui's chain. Although the temporary measure made Han Xiaodong a little uneasy, he thought it was a temporary solution.

The next morning, Han Xiaodong went to work at the factory early. Before leaving, he checked the door lock again to make sure there was no problem before leaving.

Han Xiaodong was busy with his work in the factory. During his lunch break, he received a call from his mother, who sounded a little anxious: "Han Xiaodong, there seems to be a thief in the house, please come back and check."

Han Xiaodong's heart tightened, he quickly asked for leave, rode his bicycle and hurried home. When he returned to the courtyard, he saw his mother standing at the door, her face full of worry.

"Mom, what's going on?" Han Xiaodong asked anxiously.

The mother sighed and said, "I went out to buy groceries this morning. When I came back, I found that the door seemed to have been pried open. When I went into the house, I saw that some things were missing."

Han Xiaodong's heart sank, and he hurried into the house to check. As expected, the house was turned upside down, and some valuable small items and cash were missing. His mood suddenly fell to the bottom, and he didn't expect that the temporary chain didn't work as it should.

When Yan Bugui heard about this, he rushed over immediately, looking very apologetic: "Han Xiaodong, it was because my chain was not secure that a thief broke into your house."

Han Xiaodong shook his head and forced a smile: "Uncle Yan, this is not your fault. It's my fault for not protecting myself well."

Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu also rushed over after hearing the news. They all comforted Han Xiaodong and said they would help him find a solution. Qin Huairu patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "Han Xiaodong, don't be sad. Let's go find someone from the street office and see if they can help find something."

Han Xiaodong nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you everyone, thank you so much."

Everyone went to the street office and reported the situation to the staff. After listening to the situation, Director Liu of the street office said that he would do his best to help, and also reminded everyone to be vigilant and guard against thieves.

After returning home, Han Xiaodong looked at the messy house and felt guilty and self-blame. His mother comforted him, "Han Xiaodong, if the things are gone, it's gone. As long as we are fine, don't blame yourself too much."

Han Xiaodong nodded, but thought to himself that he must be more careful in the future and never let this happen again.

That night, Han Xiaodong lay in bed, thinking about what happened during the day, and couldn't calm down for a long time. He decided to go to the hardware store early the next morning to buy a new door lock to ensure the safety of his home.

The next morning, Han Xiaodong got up early, had a quick breakfast, and rode his bike to the hardware store. He picked out a sturdy door lock, bought it, and immediately started installing it.
