Han Xiaodong frowned: "Uncle Liu, this needs to be investigated carefully. How about I help you look for clues?"

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Okay, Han Xiaodong, thank you for your help then."

Han Xiaodong and Liu Haizhong returned to Liu's house and began to carefully check every corner of the house. After a careful search, Han Xiaodong found some suspicious traces.

"Uncle Liu, take a look at this." Han Xiaodong said, pointing to some tiny scratches on the windowsill.

Liu Haizhong came over to take a look, his expression becoming serious: "Han Xiaodong, you mean... someone came in through the window?"

: "Very likely. The scratches look like they were pried open with a tool, and the window also shows signs of being tampered with."

Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "This is really terrible. It seems that we have to be more vigilant to prevent thieves from coming in again."

Uncle Liu, don't worry. I will help you strengthen precautions and ensure safety. "

The two worked together for the whole morning, reinforcing the windows and doors and installing some simple alarm devices. Liu Haizhong said gratefully: "Han Xiaodong, it's really thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

A few days later, Han Xiaodong was playing with Banggeng in the yard. Liu Haizhong came over in a hurry with excitement on his face: "Han Xiaodong, the thief has been caught!"

Han Xiaodong was stunned and immediately asked, "Uncle Liu, what's going on?"

Liu Haizhong said excitedly: "Last night, the thief came again and triggered the alarm device we installed. My neighbors and I caught him and handed him over to the police."

Han Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's great. Uncle Liu, you can rest assured now."

Liu Haizhong patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder gratefully: "Han Xiaodong,

Han Xiaodong waved his hand modestly: "Uncle Liu,

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also came over with a gratified smile on his face: "Han Xiaodong, Liu Haizhong, you are really the pride of our courtyard. Only by working together can we protect our home."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Uncle Yi, you are right. Let's work together to make Siheyuan better and better."

The days passed quietly in peace and busyness, and Han Xiaodong spent one warm moment after another with his neighbors in the courtyard. : "Uncle Liu, what's the good news?"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "I received a notice today that I was named an outstanding employee and the factory gave me a reward."

Han Xiaodong said happily: "Uncle Liu, congratulations!"

Han Xiaodong, this is all thanks to your help. Not only did you help me solve my family problems, but you also helped me perform better at work. "

Han Xiaodong smiled modestly: "Uncle Liu, you are too polite. This is the result of your own efforts."

Han Xiaodong, you are a good guy, I really admire you more and more."

At this time, Qin Huai

In the spring of Sijiucheng, the flowers in the courtyard are blooming, but in this beautiful season, Han Xiaodong feels the hidden disharmony in the courtyard. Jia Dongxu has been arguing with his wife Qin Huairu due to work pressure recently. Every time Han Xiaodong passes by their door, he can always hear their fierce arguments.

Han Xiaodong was watering the flowers in the yard when he suddenly heard the quarrel between Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu start again.

"You only care about work! Have you ever taken care of the household affairs? Have you ever worried about your children's education?" Qin Huairu's voice was full of anger and grievance.

"I work hard outside every day, isn't it for this family? Why can't you understand me?" Jia Dongxu's voice also rose eight octaves, full of helplessness and anger.

Han Xiaodong sighed, thinking that if this continued, their relationship would only get worse. He put down the kettle, walked to the door of Jia's house, and knocked.

"Sister Qin, Brother Dongxu, stop arguing. Let's discuss anything together. Arguing won't solve the problem." Han Xiaodong tried to persuade them in a calm tone.

The door opened. Qin Huairu still had tears on her face, while Jia Dongxu looked exhausted. When they saw Han Xiaodong, their expressions eased a little.

"Han Xiaodong, you're here." Qin Huairu said in a low voice, seeming a little embarrassed.

Walking into the room: "Brother Dongxu, Sister Qin, let's sit down and talk. If there are any problems, face them together and we can always find a solution."

Everyone sat down in the living room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Han Xiaodong looked at the two of them and said, "Brother Dongxu, have you encountered any difficulties at work recently? You can tell us about it, maybe we can help."

He rubbed his temples and said, "Han Xiaodong, I won't hide it from you. The workload and pressure at the factory have been heavy recently. I really can't stand it anymore."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache: "Dongxu, you can tell me if you are tired. I am at home. But you can't bring all the stress back home. Losing your temper won't solve the problem."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Brother Dongxu, Sister Qin is right. You are husband and wife, you must understand each other and face difficulties together. Only in this way can you go further."

Jia Dongxu lowered his head and said, "Han Xiaodong, Sister Qin, I know I have a bad temper sometimes, but I really feel too tired sometimes."

Qin Huairu held Jia Dongxu's hand and said softly, "Dongxu, I understand your hard work. I am also wrong. Let's work hard together and support each other in the future, okay?"

Jia Dongxu nodded. "

Han Xiaodong was relieved when he saw the two shaking hands and making peace. He smiled and said, "That's right. Family harmony is the most important thing. If there are any problems, we can solve them together."

Han Xiaodong often went to Jia Dongxu's house to help them solve some trivial matters and listen to their thoughts. He found that under his persuasion, the relationship between Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu gradually became harmonious.

Han Xiaodong had just returned from get off work at the factory. Seeing Qin Huairu drying clothes in the yard, he walked over to greet her, "Sister Qin, why are you back so early today?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "There is not much work in the factory today, so I came back early. Han Xiaodong, Dongxu is in a much better mood recently, thank you so much."

At this time, Jia Dongxu walked out of the house with a relaxed smile on his face: "Han Xiaodong, are you free tonight? Our family has prepared a sumptuous dinner and would like to invite you to eat with us."

Han Xiaodong agreed with a smile: "Okay, Brother Dongxu, I have nothing to do today."

: "Brother Dongxu, what's the problem? Tell me and I'll see if I can help."

"The factory has received a lot of orders recently. The workload is heavy, but we are short of manpower. Everyone is exhausted."

This is indeed a problem. Brother Dongxu, why don’t you try to discuss with the factory leaders and see if you can hire some temporary workers to relieve the pressure.”

Jia Dongxu nodded thoughtfully: "Han Xiaodong, you are right. I will discuss this with my leader later."

Han Xiaodong, the factory's problems have been solved, and the leadership has agreed to hire some temporary workers, so everyone's stress has been relieved."

On a summer afternoon in the city, the sun was scorching, and the stone pavement in the courtyard was also hot. Han Xiaodong had just returned from the factory, and when he opened the gate, he saw Banggeng standing in the middle of the courtyard with a wronged look on his face, and Qin Huairu was scolding him.

"Banggeng, what trouble have you gotten yourself into again? Look at you, you broke someone's window, what should we do now!" Qin Huairu's voice was filled with helplessness and anxiety.

Banggeng lowered his head and whispered in defense: "Mom, I didn't mean to do that. I just... just wanted to see if I could kick it to that height."

Sister Qin, what happened to Bang Geng? "

Shaking his head, he said, "Han Xiaodong, this kid is always getting into trouble. Today he broke the neighbor's window again. I really can't do anything about him."

Patting Bang Geng's shoulder, he said, "Bang Geng, what did you do wrong this time? Tell me."

, with tears in his eyes: "Brother Han Xiaodong, I just didn't pay attention when I was playing football, and the ball flew to the house next door and broke the window. I really didn't mean it."

Great! It's okay to make mistakes. The key is to know where you made the mistake and make amends. Are you willing to apologize with me?

Bang Geng nodded and said with sobs, "I do, Brother Han Xiaodong."

Han Xiaodong stood up and said to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, I'm going to take Banggeng to the neighbor's house to apologize and see if I can help fix the window."

Han Xiaodong brought Banggeng to his neighbor Liu Guangfu's house and knocked on the door. Liu Guangfu opened the door and saw that it was Han Xiaodong. He showed a hint of displeasure on his face: "Han Xiaodong, is this about Banggeng again?"

Han Xiaodong nodded and said apologetically: "Uncle Liu, Banggeng did something wrong this time. He came to apologize to you and hopes to help repair the window."

Bang Geng walked forward, lowered his head, and whispered, "Uncle Liu, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

Liu Guangfu looked at Banggeng and sighed, "Alas, children are always naughty. But if they can correct their mistakes, they are good children."

Han Xiaodong continued, "Uncle Liu, we are willing to compensate you for your losses and help repair the windows. I hope you can forgive Bang Geng."

Liu Guangfu nodded, and his tone softened: "Okay, let's just forget about the window. But Bang Geng, you have to be more careful next time and don't mess around like this again."

Bang Geng nodded seriously: "I understand, Uncle Liu, thank you for forgiving me."

Han Xiaodong and Banggeng helped Liu Guangfu fix the window. The guilt on Banggeng's face gradually disappeared and he showed a grateful smile. Han Xiaodong saw this and felt relieved.

Han Xiaodong found that the neighbors were talking about this matter. Yan Bugui walked up and patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder: "Han Xiaodong, you are such a good boy, always cleaning up the mess for Banggeng."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Old Yan, children always make mistakes. As elders, we should teach them how to correct their mistakes."

At this time, the deaf old lady also came over and said kindly: "Han Xiaodong, Banggeng is so lucky to have a brother like you."
