Han Xiaodong read the letter, feeling pleasantly surprised and excited. He knew that this was a rare opportunity, but it also meant leaving the courtyard and his beloved neighbors and friends.

Han Xiaodong told Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong about this. They were all happy for Han Xiaodong, but also a little reluctant.

"Han Xiaodong, this is a rare opportunity, you must seize it." Qin Huairu said.

"Yes, Han Xiaodong, you have this talent and should not be buried." Liu Haizhong also expressed his support.

Han Xiaodong nodded with emotion: "Thank you for your support, I will consider it carefully."

Finally, Han Xiaodong decided to accept the invitation. He knew that although it was difficult to leave Siheyuan, he wanted to pursue his dream and bring happiness to more people.

On the day of departure, all the neighbors in the courtyard came to see him off. Han Xiaodong stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking at these familiar faces, feeling reluctant to leave.

"Han Xiaodong, remember to come back often. We will miss you." Yan Bugui said with tears in his eyes.

"I definitely will. You are all my family." Han Xiaodong said with emotion.

Han Xiaodong left the courtyard and embarked on a new journey. He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but he would take these beautiful memories and the blessings of his neighbors and move forward step by step. Han Xiaodong believed that as long as there was love and dreams, he would be able to create his own miracle.

The days in Sijiucheng are always full of wonderful ideas. On this day, Han Xiaodong suddenly had an idea and decided to do something good for the neighbors in the courtyard. He had recently read some books about modern technology and came up with the idea of ​​making a simple sweeping robot. He believed that if it succeeded, this sweeping robot could not only help him clean, but also help reduce some of the burden on the neighbors in the courtyard.

Han Xiaodong was very active and he immediately started to collect materials. He searched through boxes and cabinets and found old electric toys, discarded vacuum cleaner parts and some other small parts in his storage room. Seeing Han Xiaodong busy and happy, the neighbors came over curiously to ask about it.

"Han Xiaodong, what new thing are you working on?" Liu Haizhong asked with a smile.

"I plan to make a sweeping robot to see if it can help everyone clean the yard." Han Xiaodong answered enthusiastically.

"A sweeping robot? It sounds quite advanced. Can you do it?" Qin Huairu was a little skeptical, but more expectant.

"Just give it a try, maybe it will work." Han Xiaodong smiled and continued to work.

After several days of hard work, Han Xiaodong finally assembled the robot. The robot looked a bit crude, but Han Xiaodong was confident in his work. He placed the robot in the yard and pressed the start button, and the robot really started working. It swept the floor with a small brush and used the vacuum cleaner function to suck away the dust and garbage on the ground.

"Look, it's moving!" Banggeng shouted excitedly and ran over to see what was going on.

The children gathered around the robot, full of curiosity and laughter. Han Xiaodong was very happy watching everyone's reactions. He felt that he had done something meaningful.

However, things often don't go as smoothly as expected. The robot vacuum cleaner was turning around in the yard and suddenly hit a porcelain bottle placed in the corner. The porcelain bottle fell to the ground with a snap and shattered.

"Oh no! That's not good!" Han Xiaodong's heart tightened and he quickly ran over to check.

"This is my porcelain vase!" Banggeng looked at the fragments on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.

At this time, Jia Zhang heard the noise and came over. Seeing the broken pieces of the porcelain vase on the ground, she immediately became furious: "Han Xiaodong, what a good thing you did! This is a precious porcelain vase passed down in our family, and you actually broke it!"

"I'm sorry, Aunt Jia, I didn't mean it. I will compensate you." Han Xiaodong said apologetically.

"Compensation? What can you use to compensate? This is our family's treasure, can you afford it?" Jia Zhang said angrily.

Han Xiaodong knew that the matter was a bit serious, so he quickly comforted her: "Aunt Jia, don't be angry first, I will definitely find a way to compensate you for this porcelain bottle."

"Compensation? What compensation will you give? Do you know how much this porcelain vase is worth?" Jia Zhang continued to scold loudly.

The neighbors heard the noise and gathered around. Yan Bugui came forward and frowned and said, "Mrs. Jia, let's talk it over. Han Xiaodong didn't mean it."

"How could this happen if it wasn't intentional? Our family's precious porcelain vase, which was passed down from our ancestors, was broken into pieces just like that!" Jia Zhang was still furious.

Qin Huairu also came over to persuade: "Mrs. Jia, Han Xiaodong didn't mean it. Let's calm down first and see how to solve it."

Jia Zhang snorted coldly: "Okay, calm down. Tell me how to solve this problem?"

Han Xiaodong stood aside, feeling guilty and remorseful. He knew that he was indeed negligent in this matter and could not blame others. He took a deep breath and said, "Aunt Jia, don't worry, I will take responsibility for this matter. I will do my best to find the same porcelain vase, or any compensation method you think is reasonable."

Jia Zhang's anger was slightly calmed down, but she still refused to give up: "You must keep your word. I don't want to hear empty words."

Han Xiaodong nodded firmly: "I will do what I say, don't worry."

Things calmed down for the time being, but Han Xiaodong knew he had to act immediately. He began to ask around to see where he could find the same or similar porcelain vase for sale. A few days later, Han Xiaodong searched all the antique markets in the city, and finally found a very similar porcelain vase in a small shop.

Han Xiaodong took the porcelain vase back to the courtyard and immediately found Jia Zhangshi: "Aunt Jia, I found a porcelain vase that is very similar to yours. I wonder if you can take a look at it."

Jia Zhang took the porcelain vase, looked at it carefully, and her expression eased a little: "This porcelain vase is indeed very similar, but after all, it is not the original one."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "I understand, the original one cannot be replaced. If you are still not satisfied, I will think of other ways."

Jia Zhang was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it, let's just let it go. You should be more careful in the future and don't make such troubles again."

Han Xiaodong nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your understanding, Aunt Jia. I will pay attention to it next time."

This incident taught Han Xiaodong a great lesson and made him more cautious. After that, he made a safer and more complete sweeping robot to avoid similar accidents.

One day, Han Xiaodong was testing the newly improved sweeping robot in the yard. Bang Geng ran over and asked curiously, "Uncle Han Xiaodong, this robot won't break things again, right?"

Han Xiaodong smiled and replied: "No, it's great. I made some improvements this time. It will avoid obstacles by itself."

Bang Geng nodded, obviously looking forward to the new robot. Han Xiaodong started the robot, and sure enough, it would automatically go around obstacles to avoid collisions.

"Uncle Han Xiaodong, this robot is awesome! You are so awesome!" Banggeng said happily.

Han Xiaodong felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw Banggeng's happy face. He knew that what he did was not just for fun, but also to make everyone's life more convenient and happy.

In the following days, the sweeping robot became a landscape of the courtyard. Every morning, Han Xiaodong would start the robot and let it work in the yard for a while, cleaning up the dust and garbage on the ground. Neighbors praised Han Xiaodong's invention and thought he was a skilled craftsman.

"Han Xiaodong, your robot is so convenient. The yard is much cleaner now." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Yes, Han Xiaodong, you did a really good thing this time." Liu Haizhong also agreed.

"Thank you all for your compliments. As long as everyone likes it, I think it's worth it," Han Xiaodong said modestly.

On this day, Han Xiaodong was repairing a toy for children in the yard. Yan Bugui came over and said mysteriously: "Han Xiaodong, I have good news to tell you."

"What good news, Uncle Yan?" Han Xiaodong asked curiously.

"I just heard that the city is going to hold an invention competition with generous prize money. Do you want to participate?" Yan Bugui said with a smile.

Han Xiaodong's eyes lit up: "Invention competition? I've never heard of it. Uncle Yan, do you think I have a chance?"

"Of course, your sweeping robot is very creative and will definitely win a prize." Yan Bugui encouraged.

Han Xiaodong began to think about it, thinking that this was a good opportunity to show his talent. He decided to participate in the competition, improve his sweeping robot, and strive to achieve good results in the competition.

In the following days, Han Xiaodong worked hard to improve his robot vacuum cleaner while doing his daily work. He added more functions, such as automatic charging and scheduled cleaning, to make the robot more intelligent and practical.

Finally, the day of the competition arrived. Han Xiaodong brought his work to the competition site, where many creative people and various inventions gathered. Han Xiaodong looked at these novel inventions, and his heart was full of anticipation and nervousness.

The competition started, Han Xiaodong demonstrated his sweeping robot and explained its functions and design concept in detail. The judges showed great interest in his work and kept asking various detailed questions. Han Xiaodong answered calmly and behaved very professionally.

Finally, the results of the competition were announced. Han Xiaodong's sweeping robot won the second prize, and this result made him very happy and satisfied. He knew that this was not only a recognition of his efforts.

As the summer in the old city gradually passed, Han Xiaodong started his new job and went to work in the cotton mill in the west of the city. The cotton mill is an old enterprise with a long history, responsible for the production of various cotton products, among which the most important product is the quilt.
