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

Technical personnel from all over the country gathered together to share their experiences and insights. Han Xiaodong was not willing to lag behind and actively participated in it.

"Han Xiaodong, you learn so fast!" a technician from the south praised.

Han Xiaodong walked out of the room. The sun shone on the blue brick floor. The yard was already bustling. Children were running and playing in the yard. Today was the Dragon Boat Festival, and everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere. Qin Huairu was busy making zongzi in the middle of the yard. Her craftsmanship was well-known throughout the courtyard. Yan Bugui was sitting aside, smoking a pipe with a smile on his face.

"Han Xiaodong, come and help me. Take these rice dumplings leaves and cook them." Qin Huairu greeted Han Xiaodong when she saw him.

Han Xiaodong nodded, took the rice dumpling leaves and walked to the kitchen. At this time, Jia Zhang came out of the house, mumbling something, obviously in a bad mood. Han Xiaodong smiled at her as a greeting.

"Han Xiaodong, today is a good day. Everyone is preparing for the dragon boat race." Liu Haizhong patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Han Xiaodong smiled and nodded, "Yes, Uncle Haizhong, the Dragon Boat Festival here is always so lively every year."

As he was talking, brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu ran over, holding the sachets they had just made, and said excitedly: "Brother Han Xiaodong, let's go watch the dragon boat race! They all said that this year's competition is particularly intense!"

Han Xiaodong was infected by their enthusiasm and agreed: "Okay, let's go after I cook the rice dumplings."

The fragrance of zong leaves wafted from the kitchen. Han Xiaodong carefully put the leaves into the pot and then went out with a few children. The elderly in the yard sat under the shade of the trees, chatting about family matters and enjoying the rare leisure time.

The streets were bustling with people, and the atmosphere was festive. Han Xiaodong and the children squeezed into the crowd of spectators, and saw a lively scene. A temporary stand had been set up by the river, and people were shouting and cheering on the shore. The dragon boats were speeding in the river, and the rowers worked together to create splashes of water.

"Look, the red dragon boat is in the lead!" Liu Guangtian shouted excitedly, pointing at the river.

Han Xiaodong looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the red dragon boat was firmly in first place, with the rowers rowing in unison and with great strength. The blue dragon boat next to it was closely behind, with the gap between the two boats being only half a boat length.

"It's really intense. This year's competition is even more exciting than last year." Han Xiaodong exclaimed.

At this moment, a familiar voice was heard: "Han Xiaodong, are you here to watch the dragon boat race too?" Han Xiaodong turned around and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle Zhonghai, you are here too." Han Xiaodong responded with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, followed the dragon boat with his eyes, and said, "This dragon boat race is not to be missed every year. Look at them, how vigorously they paddle."

Han Xiaodong and Yi Zhonghai were chatting, and the competition on the field became more intense, and the competition between the dragon boats entered a white-hot stage. Suddenly, a cry of surprise came, and the blue dragon boat suddenly accelerated, surpassing the red dragon boat and rushing to the front.

"Great! The blue team won!" Liu Guangfu jumped up and cheered, his face full of excitement.

Han Xiaodong couldn't help but cheer for the blue team's performance. People around him applauded and congratulated them. The atmosphere was extremely warm. Han Xiaodong looked at all this and felt full of satisfaction. This simple and lively life made him feel extremely precious.

After the game, people gradually dispersed, and Han Xiaodong took the children back to the courtyard. In the yard, Qin Huairu had already brought out the cooked rice dumplings, and the rich aroma made people salivate.

"Come, everyone try the rice dumplings I made." Qin Huairu greeted with a smile.

Han Xiaodong picked up a zongzi and peeled off the leaves. The glutinous rice inside was crystal clear and fragrant. He took a bite and praised: "Aunt Huairu, your cooking skills are really amazing. This zongzi is sweet and soft, and tastes great!"

"Yes, Sister Huairu's rice dumplings are the most delicious every year." Liu Haizhong couldn't help but praise.

Everyone sat together, tasting the delicious rice dumplings, chatting and laughing. At this time, the deaf old lady was also helped out. She was old and her hearing was not very good, but she still had a kind smile on her face.

"Old lady, please try this rice dumpling too." Han Xiaodong walked over, helped her sit down, and handed her a rice dumpling.

The deaf old lady took the rice dumplings, touched Han Xiaodong's hand, and nodded with a smile. Although she couldn't hear what everyone was saying, she was happy to see so many people gathered together.

"Han Xiaodong, you are a very sensible child. You must be filial to your elders in the future." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Han Xiaodong nodded and said, "Of course, the old man is our treasure."

Everyone laughed together, and the festive atmosphere was warm and enthusiastic. Han Xiaodong felt the warmth of home that he had not felt for a long time. Although this courtyard was simple, it was full of human touch.

Suddenly, Yan Bugui stood up and said, "Today is a good day, why don't we all sing a song together to celebrate!"

As soon as the proposal was made, everyone responded. Liu Haizhong took out an old guitar and started playing. Han Xiaodong also joined the chorus. The singing echoed over the courtyard, as if telling the story of everyone in this small courtyard.

As night fell, Han Xiaodong and a few friends sat in the yard, drinking tea and chatting. Liu Guangtian brought up an interesting topic: "Brother Han Xiaodong, have you ever thought about the future?"

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "In the future, I want to find a good job first, settle down, and then maybe find a good girl and start a family."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Han Xiaodong, your idea is good. Stability is the most important thing. In our courtyard, everyone has their own dreams, but in the end everyone hopes to have a stable life."

Liu Guangfu asked curiously: "Brother Han Xiaodong, do you have someone you like?"

Han Xiaodong shook his head and smiled, "Not yet, but fate is something that can't be rushed."

Everyone laughed and continued chatting. This night, the courtyard of the quadrangle was filled with a strong warmth, and everyone's heart was full of hope.

As time went by, Han Xiaodong continued to live his life in the courtyard. He practiced boxing every day, helped his neighbors, and participated in various activities. His life was fulfilling and interesting. He established a deep relationship with everyone in the courtyard, caring for each other and supporting each other.

One morning, Han Xiaodong got up early to practice boxing as usual. The yard was still quiet. He was practicing attentively when a light cough interrupted his thoughts. Han Xiaodong turned around and saw that it was Jia Dongxu.

"Brother Dongxu, do you have something to do so early?" Han Xiaodong wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked forward.

Jia Dongxu looked a little anxious and whispered, "Han Xiaodong, I heard that a nearby factory is hiring. Are you interested in trying it out?"

Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course I'm interested. This is a good opportunity."

Jia Dongxu patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, then go to the factory today. I heard they are still short of a lot of people."

Han Xiaodong said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Dongxu, I will prepare it now."

After leaving the courtyard, Han Xiaodong went straight to a nearby factory. A lot of people had gathered at the factory gate, waiting for recruitment news. Han Xiaodong squeezed into the crowd and chatted with several old workers to understand the situation.

The summer in the city is always hot and humid, especially in the courtyards. Children often can't help but run to the street to find a bit of coolness. Han Xiaodong has noticed this problem a long time ago. He thought he should bring some new things to everyone, so he decided to go to the street to buy some water guns and summer equipment.

Han Xiaodong walked into a grocery store and was dazzled by the wide variety of goods in the store. He quickly locked onto a large number of water guns, some fans that could spray water, and popsicle molds. When checking out, the store owner curiously asked, "Young man, you bought so many water guns. Are you going to hold an event?"

Han Xiaodong smiled and replied: "Yes, I want to play with the children in the yard. It's too hot in the summer, so I have to find something cool."

The shop owner nodded and smiled: "Good idea, the kids will definitely like it."

Back at the courtyard, Han Xiaodong placed the things he bought in the middle of the courtyard and called a few neighbors and children. Qin Huairu saw the pile of water guns and equipment and asked in surprise: "Han Xiaodong, what are you doing?"

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "It's too hot today. I thought of having a water gun fight with everyone to help the kids cool down."

When the children heard the news, they gathered around excitedly. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were the first to pick up the water guns, eager to try. Yan Bugui also came over and said with a smile: "Han Xiaodong, your idea is good. It's just right to cool down everyone."

Han Xiaodong began distributing water guns and water spray fans, and also prepared popsicle molds for everyone. While making popsicles, everyone prepared to play a water gun battle. Liu Haizhong looked at these equipment and couldn't help but praise: "Han Xiaodong, you are really a thoughtful person, these things are really good."

"As long as everyone is happy." Han Xiaodong replied with a smile.

The water gun battle began, and the children ran around in the yard, laughing constantly. Qin Huairu was also infected by the children's enthusiasm and joined the battle team. Han Xiaodong, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu formed one team, and the other side was Jia Dongxu and several of his friends.

"Guangtian, Guangfu, let's encircle them from the left. Brother Dongxu and the others won't be able to defend against us!" Han Xiaodong commanded.

"Okay!" Liu Guangtian answered excitedly.

They rushed out, the water from the water guns sparkling in the sun, and the air was filled with laughter and splashes. Jia Dongxu dodged while shouting, "Han Xiaodong, don't think you can win so easily!"

"Brother Dongxu, be careful!" Han Xiaodong shouted and rushed forward, and a column of water rushed straight towards Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu dodged hastily, but was still soaked. He laughed: "Okay, you win!"
