On this day, Han Xiaodong went to the city's department store early in the morning. He was thinking about bringing some fun to the children in the compound. So he bought a few colorful water guns and some summer toys. He thought that on such a hot day, the children would definitely like some water gun battles.

When Han Xiaodong returned to the yard with his bags, the yard was already bustling with activity. Qin Huairu was chatting with Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai was sitting nearby, cutting bamboo strips to weave a new basket, and Yan Bugui was fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan.

"Han Xiaodong, what did you buy?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.

"They are all small toys for the children to play with." Han Xiaodong responded with a smile, then put the bag in the middle of the yard and called the children over, "Xiaohu, Banggeng, come and see what goodies uncle brought you!"

When the children heard this, they immediately rushed over. Banggeng was the first to run to the bag, his eyes lit up: "Wow, a water gun! That's great!"

"There are also water balls! We can have a water fight!" Xiaohu said excitedly.

Han Xiaodong smiled as he distributed water guns to the children, watching them happily run to the yard to fill up their water guns. "Remember not to make too much noise, and be careful not to hurt anyone," he warned.

Qin Huairu looked at the toys and said with a smile, "Han Xiaodong, you are really thoughtful. The children will definitely like these things."

"Yes, it's hot in the summer, so we can find something fun for them and save the adults some worries," Han Xiaodong replied.

At this time, Liu Haizhong came over and patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder: "Han Xiaodong, you are quite generous. Can we adults also join in the fun?"

Han Xiaodong smiled: "Of course, how about we have a water fight for adults and children to play together?"

The adults in the yard also became interested after hearing this. Yi Zhonghai put down the bamboo strips in his hand and stood up: "It's been a long time since we've had such a lively time. Let's join in the fun."

"Han Xiaodong, go get some buckets and basins so we can set up the venue." Yan Bugui also became excited.

Han Xiaodong nodded in agreement and immediately ran to the grocery store on the street to buy a few large buckets and basins. When he came back, the yard was already busy. The adults helped the children fill the water guns with water, and the basins and buckets were also filled with water.

"Is everyone ready?" Han Xiaodong asked loudly, standing in the middle of the yard.

"Ready!" the children answered in unison, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement.

"Well, let's start the game!" Han Xiaodong gave the order, and the yard immediately exploded. The children laughed and chased each other with water guns, splashing water everywhere. The adults were not to be outdone, and picked up basins to join in this summer carnival.

Qin Huairu was hit by Bang Geng's bullet and pretended to be angry and chased him: "You little devil, wait and see how I deal with you!"

"Haha, Mom, you can't hit me!" Banggeng dodged flexibly and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai stood together, splashing water on each other: "Old Yi, be careful, don't let the water get into your eyes."

"Don't worry, I'm quick and agile, you won't hit me." Yi Zhonghai responded confidently.

Han Xiaodong also joined the battle. He picked up a water gun, sneaked up to Liu Haizhong, and then fired fiercely: "Uncle Liu, be careful!"

Liu Haizhong was caught off guard and was drenched in water. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Han Xiaodong, you little bastard, if you have the guts, don't run away. Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you!"

Han Xiaodong dodged with a smile, while fighting wits and courage with Liu Haizhong, enjoying this rare happy time. The yard was full of laughter, as if everyone had returned to their childhood and forgotten the troubles and pressures of life.

After playing for a while, everyone was tired and sat down to rest. Han Xiaodong took out a few bottles of iced soda from home and distributed them to everyone: "Come, drink some soda to cool down."

"Thank you, Han Xiaodong." Qin Huairu took the soda and said gratefully.

"We are all neighbors, don't be polite." Han Xiaodong said with a smile.

At this time, the deaf old lady was also attracted by the lively scene. She looked at everyone with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and love: "You young people are really energetic."

"Old lady, please have a bottle of soda too." Han Xiaodong walked over and handed her a bottle of soda.

The deaf old lady took the soda, took a sip, and nodded: "Thank you, Han Xiaodong. It's so hot, and it really makes me feel comfortable to have young people like you around."

"Old lady, I'm glad you like it. We just want us to have some fun together," said Han Xiaodong.

"Han Xiaodong, you are a really kind-hearted child. I feel at ease knowing that young people like you are around in the future." The deaf old lady said with emotion.

"Old lady, don't say that. We all regard you as the elder of the family. We are happy if you are happy," said Han Xiaodong.

Just when everyone was chatting happily, Jia Dongxu also came over with a smile on his face: "Han Xiaodong, thanks to you, the family is finally in harmony now."

"Dongxu, we are all family. If we have things to say nicely, we will get through life better." Han Xiaodong patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Han Xiaodong, you are a good person. It is our blessing to have a neighbor like you." Jia Dongxu said gratefully.

Han Xiaodong smiled and said nothing. He knew that although life sometimes has troubles and quarrels, as long as everyone understands and tolerates each other, everything will become beautiful.

As the sky gradually darkened, the noise in the yard slowly died down. Han Xiaodong and his neighbors cleaned up the place, and everyone sat together, enjoying this rare quiet time.

"Han Xiaodong, thank you so much today." Liu Guangtian said.

"Uncle Liu, don't be so polite. The most important thing is that we are happy together." Han Xiaodong responded.

"I don't have any special plans for now. I just want to do the things at hand well first." Han Xiaodong replied.

"You are a down-to-earth and hard-working kid. You will definitely have a bright future," Yan Bugui praised.

"Thank you, Uncle Yan, you're too kind." Han Xiaodong said modestly.

As night fell, the lights in the yard came on, and Han Xiaodong chatted with his neighbors, enjoying this rare summer night. Everyone talked about their lives and shared each other's stories, as if time had stopped at this moment.

At this moment, Liu Guangfu suddenly stood up, looking a little nervous: "Oh no, my puppy is missing!"

"When did you disappear?" Han Xiaodong immediately stood up and asked with concern.

"Everyone was having fun just now, and I tied it at the door. Now I look, it's gone." Liu Guangfu said anxiously.

"Don't worry, let's look for it together." Han Xiaodong comforted, and then asked everyone to act separately.

The group split into several groups and began to search for the puppy in the courtyard and nearby streets. Han Xiaodong and Liu Guangfu, holding flashlights, carefully searched every corner.

"Han Xiaodong, my dog ​​never runs around. I don't know how it disappeared." Liu Guangfu muttered to himself as he searched.

"Maybe it was attracted by something. Don't worry, let's look for it again." Han Xiaodong comforted.

The two walked deep into the alley and suddenly heard a faint dog barking. Han Xiaodong immediately stopped and listened carefully: "Uncle Guangfu, listen, is that the sound of a puppy?"

"It seems so. Come on, go and take a look!"

Summer in Beijing is always full of life, and even the most ordinary day can become exciting. Han Xiaodong likes to be with his neighbors, and he thinks that the warmth and interaction between neighbors is the true meaning of life.

On this day, Han Xiaodong had just returned and saw a package at the door. He picked up the package with some doubts, looked at it carefully, and found that his name was written on it, but the sender was a stranger.

Han Xiaodong took the package into the house and opened it. Inside was a beautiful gift box filled with various unknown toys. Some were windmills, some were pinballs, and some were exquisite cars and animal models. Han Xiaodong felt a little warm and curious, wondering who sent them. But no matter who it was, these toys were definitely the best gifts for the children in the compound.

Just as she was thinking, Qin Huairu knocked on the door: "Han Xiaodong, are you home?"

"I'm here, Sister Qin. Is there anything I can help you with?" Han Xiaodong opened the door and asked with a smile.

"Nothing, I just saw you bringing back a package, so I came to take a look out of curiosity." Qin Huairu walked into the room and saw the gift box on the table, "Wow, so many beautiful little toys, who sent them?"

"I don't know either. I didn't write the sender. But these toys are very suitable for children to play with. I was thinking that Children's Day is coming soon, so I gave the children a surprise." Han Xiaodong said.

"That's a good idea. The kids will definitely like it." Qin Huairu nodded in agreement. "Han Xiaodong, you're really thoughtful. It's great to have a neighbor like you."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said modestly: "We are all a family. Making the children happy is the best reward."

At this time, Liu Haizhong also came in. Seeing the toys on the table, he asked in surprise: "Han Xiaodong, are you going to open a toy store?"

Han Xiaodong repeated what he just said. Liu Haizhong listened and patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder: "You are such a kind-hearted boy. The children in our yard are so lucky."

Han Xiaodong smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Liu, you are too kind. I just think that children's smiles are the most beautiful gifts."

At this time, the children in the yard were playing together. Bang Geng saw how lively the place was in front of Han Xiaodong's house, so he came over and asked, "Uncle Han Xiaodong, what are you guys talking about?"

Han Xiaodong squatted down and touched Banggeng's head: "Banggeng, Children's Day is coming soon. Uncle has prepared some small gifts for you. I will give them to you when the time comes, okay?"
