One day, Han Xiaodong was explaining a math problem when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door. He looked up and saw a deaf old lady running in breathlessly.

"Han Xiaodong, go and have a look, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had an accident by the river!" The deaf old lady's voice trembled.

Han Xiaodong's face changed, and he immediately put down the teaching aids in his hand and ran to the river. When he got to the river, he saw Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu struggling in the water, and the water had already reached their chests.

Han Xiaodong jumped into the water without hesitation and swam towards the two children. He first grabbed Liu Guangtian and lifted him out of the water, then

Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu became good friends and often helped her solve small troubles in life. The relationship between the two gradually became close.

The morning sun shone through the shadows of the trees in the courtyard. Han Xiaodong had already gotten up and was doing some simple exercises in the yard. Other residents in the yard were also gradually waking up. Qin Huairu was busy making breakfast in the kitchen. Han Xiaodong smiled and walked over when he smelled the fragrance of the food.

"Sister Qin, good morning." Han Xiaodong greeted warmly.

"Good morning, little Han Xiaodong." Qin Huairu looked up and smiled, "Why are you up so early today?"

"I'm used to it. Getting up early and exercising is good for the body." Han Xiaodong looked at the pot in Qin Huairu's hand and asked, "Do you need help?"

Qin Huairu smiled and shook her head, "No, I'll do it right away. By the way, what do you want to eat in the morning?"

"I'll just eat something casually, you go ahead with your work, Sister Qin." Han Xiaodong said politely.

"You're welcome. Since we're neighbors, please come to my house for dinner often." Qin Huairu invited warmly.

Han Xiaodong felt warm in his heart, "Then I won't be polite. Sister Qin's cooking skills are the best in our yard."

Qin Huairu smiled and continued to work. Han Xiaodong returned to his room, packed up briefly, and prepared to go out to work.

When Han Xiaodong got home from get off work in the evening, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Qin Huairu waiting for him at the door.

"Xiao Han Xiaodong, are you free tonight? Do me a favor." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Of course I'm free. What's the matter?" Han Xiaodong agreed readily.

"The water pipe at home is broken and I can't fix it by myself." Qin Huairu said a little embarrassedly.

"No problem, leave it to me." Han Xiaodong said with a smile and followed Qin Huairu into the house.

The kitchen water pipe in Qin Huairu's house was leaking. Han Xiaodong checked it carefully and said, "Sister Qin, maybe the joint here is loose. I can just tighten it again."

Qin Huairu nodded, "Thank you for your help then."

Han Xiaodong picked up the tools skillfully and fixed the pipe in a short while. Qin Huairu looked at the leak-proof pipe and said with satisfaction: "Thank you so much, little Han Xiaodong."

"It's okay, they're all small matters." Han Xiaodong smiled and waved his hands.

Qin Huairu suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Xiao Han Xiaodong, have you eaten? Do you want to eat at my house?"

Han Xiaodong looked at his watch and said, "Not yet. I won't be polite then."

The two sat at the dining table, and Qin Huairu served Han Xiaodong a bowl of rice. "Try this, it's a new recipe I learned."

Han Xiaodong took a bite and praised: "It tastes really good. Sister Qin, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it."

As time went by, the relationship between Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu became closer. Han Xiaodong not only often helped Qin Huairu in life, but also asked her for advice on some confusions at work. Qin Huairu always answered patiently and gave him many useful suggestions.

One day, Han Xiaodong finished his work at the factory and was about to go home when he suddenly received a call from Qin Huairu.

"Xiao Han Xiaodong, is there anything urgent? If not, can you come to my house?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious.

"What's wrong, Sister Qin? I'll be there right away." Han Xiaodong put down the work in his hands and hurried back to the yard.

Arriving at Qin Huairu's house, Han Xiaodong found Qin Huairu's child Banggeng lying on the bed with a pale face. Qin Huairu's face was full of anxiety, "Little Han Xiaodong, Banggeng has a high fever. I took him to the clinic, but the doctor said he had to go to the hospital. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."

Han Xiaodong walked over and touched Bang Geng's forehead, feeling a burning sensation. "The situation is not good, he must be sent to the hospital immediately. Sister Qin, prepare your things first, I'll go call a car."

Qin Huairu nodded, and Han Xiaodong ran out and quickly hailed a taxi. The two of them carried Banggeng into the car and rushed to the hospital.

At the hospital, the doctor checked them and told them, "The child just has a high fever caused by a common cold. It's not a big problem. He just needs an IV and some rest."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, doctor."

Han Xiaodong looked at Qin Huairu's nervous expression and comforted her, "Sister Qin, don't worry, the child will be fine."

"Thank you, Xiao Han Xiaodong. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do." Qin Huairu said gratefully.

"Sister Qin, we are friends, this is what we should do." Han Xiaodong said with a smile.

In the following days, Han Xiaodong went to the hospital to visit Banggeng every day and accompanied Qin Huairu to take care of the child. Banggeng gradually recovered and Qin Huairu put aside her worries.

One weekend afternoon, Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu took Bang Geng for a walk in the park. Bang Geng ran around happily, and Qin Huairu looked at him with her eyes full of maternal love.

"Xiao Han Xiaodong, thank you so much." Qin Huairu said suddenly, "If it weren't for you these days, I really don't know what I would do alone."

"Sister Qin, don't be so polite. We are friends and it's our duty to help each other." Han Xiaodong said seriously.

Qin Huairu nodded and said with a smile: "You are a good person, Han Xiaodong."

"You are also a good mother." Han Xiaodong said sincerely.

The two chatted for a long time in the park, from daily life to future plans, as if they had endless things to say. Han Xiaodong found that Qin Huairu was not only a kind woman, but also had tenacity and wisdom in life. This made him deeply admire her.

As time went by, Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu became closer and closer. Neighbors also increasingly recognized their friendship. Han Xiaodong became a "good neighbor" in the yard. No matter who had problems, he would always be the first to help.

There was a commotion in the yard. Han Xiaodong went out to see that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's father Liu Haizhong was arguing with Jia Zhangshi.

One evening, Han Xiaodong was reading at home when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, is there anything wrong?" Han Xiaodong asked.

"I need your help with something." Qin Huairu said a little embarrassedly, "The light bulb at home is broken and I can't replace it."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "It's nothing. Let's go to your house and take a look."

When he arrived at Qin Huairu's house, Han Xiaodong discovered that the light bulb in the living room was indeed broken. He picked up a chair, stepped on it and quickly replaced the bulb.

"Okay, Sister Qin." Han Xiaodong jumped off the chair. "Next time, just call me directly for something like this."

Qin Huairu said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiao Han Xiaodong. By the way, please stay for dinner tonight."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Han Xiaodong agreed with a smile.

The two worked together in the kitchen and soon prepared dinner. While eating, Qin Huairu suddenly asked, "Xiao Han Xiaodong, have you ever thought about your future plans?"

Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment.

Yan Bugui frequently quarreled with his wife over trivial family matters, and Han Xiaodong tried to persuade them many times, hoping to ease their relationship.

The big courtyard in the old city welcomed a quiet morning, and the sun shone through the leaves on the ground. Han Xiaodong was doing morning exercises in the yard, and the cool breeze made him feel refreshed. The neighbors also started their busy day. Qin Huairu was busy in the kitchen, Liu Haizhong was sorting his tools in the yard, and Jia Zhang was chatting with someone at the door.

Yan Bugui walked out of his house with a gloomy face and seemed to be worried. Han Xiaodong noticed his abnormality and walked up to him, "Uncle Yan, what's wrong? You don't look very happy."

Yan Bugui sighed, "Xiao Han Xiaodong, things at home have been bothering me lately."

"What happened? Do you want to tell me?" Han Xiaodong asked with concern.

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "My wife and I have been arguing a lot lately. They are all trivial matters, but they always get to the point where we get very upset."

"It's inevitable that there will be some friction between husband and wife, but quarreling is not the way to solve problems." Han Xiaodong said seriously, "Do you want me to help you persuade her?"

"That's not necessary. I'm just feeling upset and want to find someone to talk to." Yan Bugui waved his hand.

"Then you talk, I'm listening." Han Xiaodong found a stool and sat down, listening patiently to Yan Bugui's story.

Yan Bugui talked a lot, mostly about trivial matters in life, such as the family's financial pressure, the children's education problems, and some daily frictions. Han Xiaodong listened very carefully and nodded from time to time to show his understanding.

"Uncle Yan, in fact, couples need to be more tolerant and understanding." Han Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "Some things are better to be talked out. If we understand each other, there will be fewer problems."

Yan Bugui nodded, "You are right, Xiao Han Xiaodong. I will try to communicate with her more."

"If you have any problem, just come to me. We are all family." Han Xiaodong patted Yan Bugui on the shoulder.

At this time, Yan Bugui's wife came out and saw Han Xiaodong talking to Yan Bugui. Her face looked a little unnatural. Han Xiaodong stood up and said with a smile, "Good morning, auntie."

"Good morning, little Han Xiaodong." Yan Bugui's wife forced a smile.

"Aunt Yan, I would like to talk to you when I have time." Han Xiaodong said sincerely.

Yan Bugui's wife was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about family matters. I've heard a lot from Uncle Yan and hope I can help a little." Han Xiaodong explained.

"Okay, then come in and sit down." She nodded and took Han Xiaodong into the house.

In the house, Han Xiaodong talked with Yan Bugui's wife for a long time. He found that she was actually a kind-hearted person, but because of the great pressure in life, she was inevitably in a bad mood.
