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

Bang Geng cleared his throat and began to tell a heroic story he had read in a book. Although his voice was a little immature, every word was full of respect and admiration. The audience listened very carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.

After the event, Han Xiaodong and his neighbors cleaned up the scene. Although everyone was a little tired, they were all filled with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

"Han Xiaodong, this event was very successful, thank you." Yan Bugui walked over and patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder.

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, this is the result of everyone's efforts. Thank you for your support."

Qin Huairu came over and said with emotion: "Han Xiaodong, you have given us a deeper understanding of the deeds of those heroes. Thank you very much."

Liu Haizhong also agreed: "Yes, Han Xiaodong, you have done something very meaningful."

Han Xiaodong looked at these lovely neighbors, his heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. He knew that with their support, he would have more motivation to do more meaningful things.

In the following days, Han Xiaodong and his neighbors continued to organize various meaningful activities in the compound. They not only spread the stories of heroes, but also carried out many public welfare activities, such as providing warmth to lonely elderly people and donating materials to poor families. Han Xiaodong felt extremely satisfied and happy with every activity.

One day, Han Xiaodong received a letter from the factory. When he opened it, he found that the factory director invited him to attend a national labor model commendation meeting. He introduced his and his team's innovative achievements at the meeting and was highly praised by the participants.

"Han Xiaodong, you are really the pride of our factory!" the factory director said excitedly.

Han Xiaodong replied modestly: "This is the result of the hard work of our entire team. I just did what I should do."

After the commendation meeting, Han Xiaodong returned to the compound. The neighbors had already heard the news and came out to greet him and congratulate him on his success.

Han Xiaodong was going to make some taffy and give them to the kids at the alley entrance, but he didn't expect that these kids were eavesdropping on other people's secrets and bullying Bang Geng.

Han Xiaodong decided to repay the neighbors who gave him warmth and friendship in his own way. In his heart, making some oxhide candies and giving them to the children in the compound is a simple and meaningful action. He wants these children to feel the warmth of the community and also hopes to bring them a little sweet surprise.

On a sunny afternoon, Han Xiaodong bought enough ingredients from the supermarket: syrup, butter, sugar and vanilla extract. He carefully prepared the ingredients in the kitchen and began to slowly cook according to the recipe. The whole process requires patience and skills. While Han Xiaodong was cooking the syrup, he was thinking carefully about how to deliver these candies to the children.

The syrup gradually thickened and gave off a sweet smell. Han Xiaodong stirred it from time to time to ensure that the syrup was cooked evenly and reached the ideal concentration. When the last pot of syrup was cooked, Han Xiaodong gently poured it into a pre-prepared mold, waited for it to cool, and then began to cut it into small pieces and package it.

Han Xiaodong feels extremely satisfied when packaging the candies. Each piece of candy represents his deep friendship and gratitude to his neighbors. He imagines the smiling faces of the children when they receive these gifts, and his heart is filled with anticipation and joy.

The next afternoon, Han Xiaodong brought a basket of packaged candies to the yard. He saw the children in the yard playing, and Banggeng was playing football with a group of children. When he approached, the children noticed him and immediately surrounded him, asking curiously, "Brother Han Xiaodong, what are you holding?"

Han Xiaodong smiled and opened the basket, showing the candies inside: "These are the candies I made myself, and I want to give them to everyone."

The children were surprised and excited, and they all reached out to pick up a piece of candy. Their smiling faces made Han Xiaodong feel very happy. These simple desserts brought incomparable happiness.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, you are awesome!" a little girl said happily.

"Thank you, Brother Han Xiaodong!" Banggeng held a piece of toffee, his eyes sparkling with gratitude.

Han Xiaodong felt happy watching the children enjoying the candy. He felt that this action was not only about giving them sweets, but also about conveying warmth and friendship among neighbors.

At this moment, the noise of children was heard from a corner of the courtyard. Han Xiaodong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a crowd besieging a little boy.

"Tell me clearly, what are you eavesdropping on?!" A big boy rudely questioned a petite boy.

"I... I don't know, we were just passing by." The little boy's voice was trembling, and he was obviously frightened.

Han Xiaodong frowned, walked over and asked, "What happened? Why are you fighting?"

When the big boy saw Han Xiaodong coming, he scratched his head uncomfortably and shouted, "This kid is eavesdropping on our secrets. We have to teach him a lesson."

The little boy looked at Han Xiaodong nervously and explained, "I...I was just passing by and didn't mean to eavesdrop on anything."

Han Xiaodong felt a little sorry for the scene. He knew that there were often minor frictions between children, but such conflicts were not healthy, especially using violence to solve problems was undesirable.

"Why are you doing this? Fighting is not the best way to solve problems." Han Xiaodong tried to persuade them calmly.

The big boy said unconvincedly: "Brother Han Xiaodong, you don't understand, this kid always eavesdrops on our affairs, and that's why we are unhappy!"

"Banggeng, is that so?" Han Xiaodong turned to Banggeng and asked for his opinion.

Bang Geng frowned, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Brother Han Xiaodong, what they said is partially true. I saw them chatting and I also listened to a few words."

Han Xiaodong sighed softly, he understood the whole situation. He squatted down, looked at the big boy and the little boy gently, and said: "Everyone calm down, fighting won't solve the problem. If there is anything, we can sit down and talk it out."

The little boy relaxed a little after hearing what Han Xiaodong said, but the big boy was still dissatisfied and shouted: "Brother Han Xiaodong, you always stand on their side!"

Han Xiaodong shook his head and patiently explained: "I am not on anyone's side, I just think fighting won't solve the problem. We must learn to respect and tolerate each other."

At this moment, Qin Huairu came over and asked worriedly, "Han Xiaodong, what happened? Why are you all making so much noise here?"

Han Xiaodong stood up and explained to Qin Huairu: "Aunt Qin, they have a little friction, and I am trying to persuade them."

Qin Huairu looked at Han Xiaodong and smiled slightly, "Han Xiaodong, some problems must be solved in a timely manner. We cannot let small frictions escalate into big conflicts."

Han Xiaodong nodded to show his understanding: "Yes, I will continue to persuade them."

Qin Huairu turned to the children who were arguing and said gently, "Children, come, let's sit down and have a good talk."

Slowly, Qin Huairu and Han Xiaodong succeeded in calming the situation. The children gradually stopped arguing and began to listen quietly to Aunt Qin and Han Xiaodong's advice.

Han Xiaodong looked at Qin Huairu firmly, "Sister Qin, of course I consider everyone's feelings. That's why I have to expose them. If we leave it alone, we will be the only ones who will be hurt in the future."

Liu Haizhong said coldly: "Han Xiaodong, you sound nice, but we still think that what you did is too much."

Han Xiaodong shook his head. "Brother Liu, I understand how you feel. This has seriously threatened the safety of the factory. We can't turn a blind eye to their mistakes just because they are neighbors."

At this time, there were several whispers in the yard, and it was obvious that someone was whispering. Han Xiaodong knew that although his words moved some people, many people still had doubts.

"Han Xiaodong, no matter how much you say, you can't change everyone's opinion." A cold voice came. It was Wang Jianshe. He has always had a good impression of He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, and was obviously very dissatisfied with Han Xiaodong's approach.

Han Xiaodong looked at Wang Jianshe without flinching, "Brother Jianshe, I know you have a problem with me, but please believe me, I am doing this for the good of everyone. If we don't take action, we will be the only ones who will be hurt in the future."

Wang Jianshe snorted, "Han Xiaodong, if you do this, it will only make people distrust you even more. Don't forget that Siheyuan is a big family. We can't send people to the police station for such a small matter."

Han Xiaodong frowned, "Brother Jianshe, this is not a small matter. This is related to the safety of the factory and all of us."

Wang Jianshe sneered, "Han Xiaodong, you said this just to cover up your mistakes. We won't believe you easily."

Han Xiaodong knew that no matter how many explanations he gave, he would not be able to convince everyone. He had to prove his innocence and justice with facts. He took a deep breath and decided to continue investigating and find more evidence.

"Dear neighbors, please believe me, I will continue to investigate and reveal the truth." Han Xiaodong said firmly.

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Han Xiaodong, we hope you can understand everyone's feelings."

Liu Haizhong also sighed: "Han Xiaodong, you are really amazing. If it weren't for you, we would still be kept in the dark."

Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply, "Han Xiaodong, you did the right thing. But you have to be careful, it may take time for everyone to accept this fact."

Han Xiaodong nodded, "I understand, Uncle Yi, I will continue to work hard to make everyone understand my choice."
