Everyone escorted the man to the police station. The police asked him about the situation in detail and recorded his confession. The man admitted that he was a thief and gave the names of his accomplices. The police said they would arrest the other suspects as soon as possible and thanked Han Xiaodong and his neighbors for their cooperation.

Han Xiaodong felt relieved when he returned to the courtyard. He said to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui: "Thanks to everyone's help today, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "We are all family, and we should help each other."

Yan Bugui also nodded and said, "Yes, the safety of our courtyard depends on everyone's efforts."

After this incident, the neighbors of the courtyard became more united, helping each other and jointly protecting the safety of the courtyard. Han Xiaodong also felt a warm feeling in his heart, knowing that with such neighbors around him, he was no longer alone.

One evening, Han Xiaodong was playing with the children in the yard when he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai's son Xiaoyi, who ran over in a hurry with a letter in his hand.

"Uncle Han Xiaodong, here is your letter!" Xiao Yi said breathlessly.

Han Xiaodong took the letter and opened it. It turned out to be a transfer order from the factory. The letter read: "Comrade Han Xiaodong, you have been transferred to a technical staff position."

On a summer afternoon in the city of Sijiu, the sun was scorching the ground, and the air in the courtyard seemed to be a little stagnant due to the heat. Han Xiaodong was busy cutting the tape in his hand under the shade of a tree, and sweat was dripping from his forehead from time to time. Next to him, Qin Huairu was hanging clothes to dry. Seeing Han Xiaodong concentrating on making something, she couldn't help but walk over curiously.

"Han Xiaodong, what are you doing? So serious?" Qin Huairu wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked.

Han Xiaodong raised his head and smiled: "Aunt Huairu, I'm making a tape man and preparing to play shadow puppetry with the children."

Qin Huairu looked at the pile of tape on the ground and said in surprise: "Tape man? This is the first time I've heard of it. You have a pretty good skill."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "I just wanted to make something interesting for children to play with. They also like shadow puppetry, so I thought of combining the tape man with shadow puppetry."

At this time, Bang Geng and Liu Guangtian were running over from the other end of the yard. When they heard Han Xiaodong mention "shadow puppetry", they immediately stopped and ran over.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, are you going to perform a shadow play? Can we watch it?" Bang Geng asked excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Han Xiaodong nodded and said gently, "Of course, but you have to wait until I finish making this tape man. You can help me get some tools first."

Liu Guangtian immediately ran away and found scissors, glue and some thin threads. Han Xiaodong continued to work with his head down, and the tape in his hand slowly turned into little people between his nimble fingers. Qin Huairu also joined in, helping with cutting and pasting, and soon a lifelike tape man was ready.

"Okay, this is the tape man." Han Xiaodong held up the work he had just completed and showed it to everyone with a smile.

Bang Geng and Liu Guangtian came forward and looked at the puppet carefully, their faces full of curiosity and amazement. "Brother Han Xiaodong, this is amazing, it looks exactly like a real puppet!" Liu Guangtian exclaimed.

Han Xiaodong smiled proudly and said, "Later, we will use it to perform a show for everyone."

That evening, a simple shadow play stage was set up in the yard. Han Xiaodong was preparing behind the scenes, while the children sat excitedly in front of the stage. Han Xiaodong mixed the tape figures with traditional shadow play characters, adjusted the lights and the curtain, and everything was ready.

"Everyone, be quiet. The shadow play is about to begin." Han Xiaodong announced in a deep voice. The lights dimmed and moving shadows appeared on the screen. The children held their breath and stared at the tape figures and shadow puppets on the screen.

Han Xiaodong manipulated the tape puppet and told an ancient story. The tape puppet danced flexibly on the screen, and it was almost indistinguishable from the traditional shadow puppet. The children were deeply attracted by the story and exclaimed in amazement and laughter from time to time.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, this is awesome! This tape man is truly amazing!" Bang Geng shouted excitedly, his eyes sparkling.

After the performance, the children gathered around Han Xiaodong, discussing the story and the magic of the tape man. Han Xiaodong patiently answered their questions with a satisfied smile on his face.

At this time, Yan Bugui also came over with a bottle of iced soda in his hand and handed it to Han Xiaodong: "Han Xiaodong, you have worked hard, drink some soda."

Han Xiaodong took the soda and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Bugui. It's too hot. I'm a little thirsty."

Yan Bugui looked at the tape man on the ground and said admiringly: "Han Xiaodong, your craftsmanship is really good. The children love it very much."

Han Xiaodong smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's just to find some fun for the children. Seeing them happy, I think it's worth it."

Qin Huairu also came over and said with a smile: "Han Xiaodong, your tape man is really amazing. It seems that you should make more things like this in the future. Children will like it."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, I will."

As night fell, the courtyard gradually returned to its tranquility. Han Xiaodong sat under a tree, thinking about his next plan. He hoped to make more interesting things to bring happiness to the children in the courtyard.

The next morning, Han Xiaodong decided to buy some materials to make more tape men. He went to the market, picked out some high-quality tape and tools, and returned to the courtyard with joy.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong standing together, seemingly discussing something. Han Xiaodong walked over and asked, "Aunt Huairu, Uncle Haizhong, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu turned her head, looking a little worried: "Han Xiaodong, this morning, I found that some money was missing from my house. Maybe someone came in last night."

Han Xiaodong's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Did you lock the doors and windows?"

Liu Haizhong nodded: "The doors and windows are locked, but someone may have come in through the back door."

Han Xiaodong frowned and thought to himself, "There have been a lot of incidents in the yard recently. It seems that we need to think of a way to improve security precautions."

He looked at Qin Huairu and comforted her, "Aunt Huairu, don't worry. I will find a few adults to patrol together to prevent any more thieves from coming in."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Han Xiaodong. These things have caused panic among people recently, and no one is at ease."

Han Xiaodong turned to Liu Haizhong and said, "Uncle Haizhong, we need to discuss how to improve the safety of the yard."

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Okay, I'll call Bugui and Zhonghai to discuss it together."

Soon, several adults gathered in the middle of the yard and began to discuss how to improve security. Han Xiaodong suggested: "We can install some lights in the yard, so that it won't be too dark at night and thieves won't dare to approach easily."

Yan Bugui agreed: "That's a good idea. I can find some old lamps and modify them."

Yi Zhonghai added: "Also, we can reinforce the back door and install iron bars to prevent people from coming in from there."

Everyone agreed and started to work together. Han Xiaodong was responsible for purchasing lighting fixtures, Yan Bugui was responsible for modification and installation, and Liu Haizhong went to find a blacksmith to help make the iron fence.

A few days later, the security facilities in the courtyard were gradually improved. The lights illuminated the entire courtyard at night, and a solid iron fence was installed at the back door. Han Xiaodong and his neighbors took turns to work the night shift to ensure the safety of the courtyard.

One night, it was Han Xiaodong's turn to be on duty. He was sitting in the yard, holding a book in his hand, reading quietly. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise, looked up, and found a dark shadow swaying at the back door.

Han Xiaodong's heart tightened, he gently put down the book, and quietly walked to the back door. He saw a figure trying to pry open the iron fence, he quietly approached, suddenly grabbed the other person's wrist, and shouted: "Stop!"

The man was startled by the sudden noise and struggled in panic, but Han Xiaodong was very strong and held him tightly, preventing him from escaping. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui heard the noise and rushed over to help subdue the man.

Han Xiaodong saw the man's face clearly. It was the suspicious stranger who appeared in the yard a few days ago. Obviously, this man had been staring at the courtyard, waiting for an opportunity to steal.

Everyone escorted him to the police station, where he admitted his crime and gave out the names of his accomplices.

On a summer afternoon in Sijiucheng, the sun was blazing and the air was filled with heat. Han Xiaodong was busy in his little house, with various parts and tools on the table. He was concentrating on making a sweeping robot, which was his dream - to use his craftsmanship to make life in the courtyard more convenient.

"Han Xiaodong, what are you doing?" Qin Huairu leaned out of the window and asked curiously.

Han Xiaodong raised his head and smiled: "Aunt Huairu, I'm making a sweeping robot and I plan to use it to help clean the yard."

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with surprise: "Robot? You really have an idea. Can this thing really work?"

Han Xiaodong nodded: "It should be possible, I will try it after I assemble it."

Soon after, Han Xiaodong finally finished making the sweeping robot. He carefully placed the robot on the ground and pressed the start button. The robot began to move, its round body flexibly turning on the ground, like a little cleaner.

Bang Geng and Liu Guangtian were running from the yard. When they saw Han Xiaodong's robot, they immediately stopped and ran over.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, what is this?" Bang Geng asked in surprise, his eyes full of curiosity.

Han Xiaodong explained with a smile: "This is the sweeping robot I made. It can help clean the yard."

Liu Guangtian came forward and observed the robot carefully, exclaiming: "This is amazing, Brother Han Xiaodong, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this?"
