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

The courtyard of Sijiucheng looked particularly peaceful in the early morning sunshine. Han Xiaodong was doing morning exercises in the courtyard. He found that Jia Dongxu and his wife Qin Huairu had been arguing more and more frequently recently, apparently because Jia Dongxu was under increasing pressure from work. Every time he saw Qin Huairu's red and swollen eyes due to the quarrel, Han Xiaodong felt a little uncomfortable.

One evening, Han Xiaodong returned to the yard after get off work and saw Jia Dongxu standing at the door smoking with a gloomy face. Han Xiaodong walked over and asked tentatively: "Brother Dongxu, what's wrong? Did you encounter any trouble at work?"

Jia Dongxu sighed and threw away his cigarette butt: "It's all about that crappy job. The factory's orders have decreased recently, and there are constant rumors of layoffs. I'm really worried."

"It's inevitable to be under a lot of pressure, but don't be too anxious. There is always a way to solve the problem," Han Xiaodong comforted.

"Han Xiaodong, you don't understand." Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I have elderly parents and young children at home. If I lose my job, what will happen to my family?"

Han Xiaodong looked into Jia Dongxu's eyes and said firmly: "Brother Dongxu, we are brothers. If you have any difficulties, please tell us and we will work together to find a solution."

As she was talking, Qin Huairu came out of the house, saw Han Xiaodong, and forced a smile: "Little Han Xiaodong, you're back."

"Sister Qin, I know something about Brother Dongxu's problem. Let's work together to find a solution." Han Xiaodong said.

Jia Dongxu said unhappily, "Solve it? How do we solve it? We don't have the final say on factory matters."

Qin Huairu patted Jia Dongxu's back gently: "Dongxu, don't be so anxious, Xiao Han Xiaodong is right, let's find a solution together."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Brother Dongxu, I also know a little about the situation in the factory. Why don't we find a time to talk together and see if there is any solution."

Jia Dongxu sighed and nodded: "Okay, I'm so upset now anyway, it's good to chat."

The next night, Han Xiaodong invited Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to his home and prepared some simple tea. After the three of them sat down, Han Xiaodong said straight to the point: "Brother Dongxu, Sister Qin, I know you are in a bad mood recently because of work, but quarreling will not solve the problem, but will make each other more tired."

Jia Dongxu lowered his head and said nothing. Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Xiao Han Xiaodong, I know you are doing this for our own good, but it is really difficult for us."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "I understand, but there is always a way to solve the problem. Brother Dongxu, what is the specific situation in the factory?"

Jia Dongxu was silent for a while, then said, "The factory's orders have decreased, and the higher-ups have decided to lay off employees, but the specific list hasn't come out yet, so everyone is guessing."

"Have you communicated with your leaders to understand the situation?" Han Xiaodong asked.

"We have communicated with the leaders, but there is nothing they can do. All decisions are made from above," Jia Dongxu said with a wry smile.

Han Xiaodong thought for a moment and said, "Since layoffs are inevitable, we have to consider a way out. Brother Dongxu, have you ever thought about what you can do if you are really laid off?"

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Besides working in the factory, I don't know how to do anything else."

"Then we can consider other ways out, such as some technical training, or starting some small business," Han Xiaodong suggested.

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up: "Yes, Dongxu, you can learn some new skills and look for other job opportunities."

Jia Dongxu was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "This is the only way."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said: "Brother Dongxu, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must remain optimistic. Only in this way can we find a solution."

Jia Dongxu looked at Han Xiaodong and said gratefully, "Thank you, little Han Xiaodong. You are more open-minded than I am."

"We are brothers, and we will face difficulties together." Han Xiaodong patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder.

In the following days, Han Xiaodong often talked with Jia Dongxu, helped him analyze the problems at work, and encouraged him to learn new skills. Qin Huairu also began to pay attention to the information of some training courses, hoping to help Jia Dongxu find a new way out.

One night, Han Xiaodong was walking in the yard when he heard Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu quarreling. He walked over quickly and saw Jia Dongxu was emotional and Qin Huairu had tears in her eyes.

"Brother Dongxu, Sister Qin, what happened?" Han Xiaodong asked quickly.

Jia Dongxu said angrily: "The factory's layoff list is out, and I'm being laid off!"

Han Xiaodong's heart sank, and he walked over to comfort him, "Brother Dongxu, calm down, we'll think of a solution."

Qin Huairu burst into tears: "Dongxu, don't worry, we will find a new job."

Jia Dongxu punched the wall: "You don't understand, how much I have worked for the factory over the years, and now I have nothing!"

Han Xiaodong held Jia Dongxu and said, "Brother Dongxu, impulsiveness won't solve the problem. Let's face it together. No matter how difficult it is, there is a way."

Jia Dongxu calmed down a little and bowed his head without saying anything. Han Xiaodong looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Sister Qin, let Brother Dongxu calm down first, and then we can talk."

Qin Huairu nodded and wiped her tears: "Xiao Han Xiaodong, thank you."

A few days later, Han Xiaodong invited Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to his home again, prepared some information, and said patiently: "Brother Dongxu, I checked some information. There are many technical training courses now. We can take a look together and choose one that suits you."

Jia Dongxu looked at the information and felt a glimmer of hope: "Xiaoyi, do you really think I can still find a new job?"

Han Xiaodong nodded firmly: "Brother Dongxu, as long as you are willing to learn and work hard, you will definitely find a new way out."

Qin Huairu also held Jia Dongxu's hand: "Dongxu, let's work hard together, there will definitely be good results."

Jia Dongxu looked at his wife and Han Xiaodong, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Okay, let's work together."

From that day on, Jia Dongxu began to attend training courses and learn new skills. Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu always encouraged and supported him. Although the process was difficult, Jia Dongxu gradually found confidence and learned a lot of new knowledge.

One evening, Jia Dongxu excitedly ran to Han Xiaodong's home and said excitedly: "Little Han Xiaodong, I found a new job!"

Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Really? That's great, Brother Dongxu!"

Qin Huairu also ran over, tears in her eyes: "Dongxu, have you really found a new job?"

Jia Dongxu nodded: "Yes, I found a job as a technician in a new company. Although the salary is not high, there are opportunities for development."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "This is a good start, Brother Dongxu, you will definitely get better and better."

Qin Huairu said excitedly: "Xiao Han Xiaodong, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do."

"Don't say that, we are brothers." Han Xiaodong said sincerely.

Jia Dongxu held Han Xiaodong's hand and said gratefully: "Little Han Xiaodong, you are our benefactor."

Han Xiaodong shook his head: "Brother Dongxu..." Jia Dongxu is getting better and better in his new job, and his life is gradually stabilizing. His relationship with Qin Huairu is also getting better and better, and they no longer quarrel over work issues. Han Xiaodong looked at their changes and felt satisfied.

, Han Xiaodong, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were drinking tea and chatting in the yard. Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Brother Dongxu, Sister Qin, how are you doing now?"

Jia Dongxu nodded: "Very good, the work is stable and the family is harmonious. Xiaoyi, thank you so much."

Qin Huairu also smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu, you are our benefactor."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said: "If we work together, our lives will get better and better."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai came over and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, Dong Xu, it's so lively today, what are you talking about?"

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Uncle Yi, we are talking about how little Han Xiaodong helped us. He is our great benefactor."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Xiao Yu is a good boy, everyone likes him."

Han Xiaodong said modestly: "Don't say that, I just did what I should do."

Several people sat together in the yard, drinking tea and chatting.

The tranquility of the early morning was broken by a loud noise. Han Xiaodong walked out of the house and saw a group of people gathered in the middle of the yard, talking about something. He walked over quickly and saw Bang Geng standing in the middle, his face a little pale, next to him was a broken glass window and Liu Haizhong, who looked angry.

"Bang Geng, you've gotten into quite a mess this time!" Liu Haizhong said angrily, "Tell me, what should we do this time?"

Banggeng lowered his head, not daring to speak, tears in his eyes. Han Xiaodong walked up and asked with concern: "Uncle Liu, what happened?"

Liu Haizhong pointed at the broken glass window and said, "Ask him! Bang Geng broke my window and almost hurt my child."

Han Xiaodong looked at Bang Geng, then at Liu Haizhong, and said calmly, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, let me talk to Bang Geng, okay?"

Liu Haizhong snorted, "You talk, let's see how he explains it this time."

Han Xiaodong pulled Banggeng aside and asked softly, "Banggeng, what's going on?"

Bang Geng said tearfully, "Brother Han Xiaodong, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to kick the ball, but I didn't expect it to be kicked too high and broke Uncle Liu's window."

Han Xiaodong patted Bang Geng's shoulder and said, "Okay, stop crying. If you are wrong, you should be brave enough to admit it, okay?"

Bang Geng nodded, and Han Xiaodong took him back to Liu Haizhong, "Uncle Liu, Bang Geng has realized his mistake. Look, I will pay for the repair of the window."

Liu Haizhong frowned, "This is not a matter of money. He always gets into trouble. Who can guarantee that there won't be trouble next time?"

Han Xiaodong said seriously: "Uncle Liu, I will be responsible for teaching Banggeng to understand that he should be cautious and not make the same mistake again. Please give him another chance."

Liu Haizhong looked at Han Xiaodong, then looked at Bang Geng who was lowering his head, and finally sighed, "Okay, for your sake, let it go this time."
