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

It’s good to have ambition, but starting a business is not easy, you have to be fully prepared.”

"I know. I will take it step by step. First save some money, and then look for opportunities." Han Xiaodong said firmly.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Okay, just tell me, I will definitely help if I can."

Han Xiaodong looked at Yi Zhonghai gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Yi. I will definitely work hard."

A few months later, Han Xiaodong finally saved up a small amount of money and decided to quit his job in the coal mine to find his own opportunities. On the day he left, all the neighbors in the yard came to see him off.

"Han Xiaodong, we really feel reluctant to see you go." Qin Huairu sighed.

"Why are you reluctant to leave? It's not like I won't come back. When I make a lot of money, I'll treat you to a big dinner." Han Xiaodong said with a smile.

"Okay, we'll wait for you to come back."

Han Xiaodong packed his bag and set off on a new journey. But his heart was full of hope and determination. He wanted to change his fate with his own efforts and create his own glory.

He walked all the way to the station and boarded the train to the city. Looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, Han Xiaodong's thoughts flew. He thought of the days in the courtyard and the people who helped him. He knew that all of this would become his motivation to move forward.

The train slowly pulled into the city. Han Xiaodong got off the train station, took a deep breath, and vowed to himself, "I'm going to make a name for myself here and let everyone know my name!"

He started a new life in the city. At first, he found a job in a restaurant, busy in the kitchen during the day and using his free time at night to learn business knowledge. He met some like-minded friends and discussed the possibility of starting a business.

One night, Han Xiaodong and a few friends got together to discuss a new business plan. Zhang Qiang suggested: "We can open a snack bar that specializes in selling local snacks. I don't think there are many such shops on the market."

Li Ming nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think this is a good idea. The cost is not high and the risk is small."

Han Xiaodong thought this idea had great potential, so he said, "Okay, let's start with a snack bar, open the store, and then expand it step by step."

After several months of preparation, they finally opened the snack bar. Han Xiaodong and his friends worked hard from dawn to dusk every day. Although it was hard work, the business was getting better and better. Han Xiaodong's efforts and wisdom were gradually rewarded, and the snack bar became more and more famous.

One day, Han Xiaodong was busy in the store when he suddenly received a call. Yi Zhonghai's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Little Han Xiaodong, I heard that your snack bar is doing well."

"Uncle Yi, how did you know?" Han Xiaodong asked in surprise.

"Your neighbors in the courtyard are all talking about you, so I asked around." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Uncle Yi, thank you for your care and support. I will continue to work hard." Han Xiaodong said gratefully.

"Okay, remember to come back often.

As night fell, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of dinner. Han Xiaodong came back from the store and happened to run into Qin Huairu packing clothes in the yard.

"Sister Qin, the light bulb in your house seems to be broken. Why is it so dim?" Han Xiaodong noticed that the light at her door was dim.

"Oh, yes, it broke yesterday and I haven't had time to fix it yet." Qin Huairu sighed, "I was busy taking care of the kids today and didn't have time to buy a new one."

"Don't worry, I have a spare one here. I'll get it and help you change it." Han Xiaodong smiled, turned and went into the house and took out a new light bulb.

"Sister Qin, don't be so polite. We are neighbors after all." Han Xiaodong said as he replaced the light bulb, and the room suddenly became much brighter.

"That's much better. Thank you, Han Xiaodong." Qin Huairu showed a warm smile on her face.

"You're welcome, Sister Qin," Han Xiaodong said, "By the way, how are the children today?"

"They are fine, except that the eldest one has been lagging behind in his studies recently. The teacher said he needs more extra lessons." Qin Huairu said with some concern.

"How about I help him with his tutoring? I used to have good grades, so maybe I can be of some help." Han Xiaodong took the initiative to suggest.

Then he nodded and said, "That's great. I'm also worried about the children's studies. Having your help really solves a big problem."

So, after get off work every day, Han Xiaodong would take time to go to Qin Huairu's house to help her eldest son with his homework. Over time, the children gradually fell in love with this older brother. The relationship between Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu also became closer, and the two could talk about anything.

After Han Xiaodong finished tutoring Qin Huairu's children at her home, the two sat in the yard and chatted.

"Han Xiaodong, you are so capable, why don't you find a girlfriend?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile.

"Girlfriend?" Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm busy with work every day and really don't have time to think about these things."

"That won't work. With such good conditions, you have to find a partner as soon as possible." Qin Huairu said seriously.

Han Xiaodong smiled, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes, "Actually, I had a girlfriend before, but we broke up because of some things."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Qin Huairu nodded, feeling a little curious about Han Xiaodong's past.

"Sister Qin, what about you? Isn't it tiring to take care of the children alone?" Han Xiaodong asked with concern.

"Oh, I'm used to it. As long as the children are well, I'll be satisfied." Qin Huairu sighed, with a mother's tenacity revealed in her eyes.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the yard. Liu Guangtian was chatting and laughing with some neighbors. Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads.

"These people are really carefree." Han Xiaodong sighed.

"Yes, sometimes I also wish I could relax a little." Qin Huairu said.

"Well, thank you, Han Xiaodong. I feel really lucky to have a friend like you." Qin Huairu looked at him gratefully.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong was busy taking care of business in the store when he suddenly received a call from Qin Huairu.

"Han Xiaodong, can you come over for a moment? My second child has a fever, and I can't handle it alone." Qin Huairu's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Han Xiaodong hung up the phone and hurried back to the courtyard.

When he got home, he saw Qin Huairu holding a feverish child with an anxious look on her face. Han Xiaodong quickly took the child and used cold water to cool him down.

"Don't worry, let's cool him down physically first. I have some antipyretic medicine here, let him take some first." Han Xiaodong took out the medicine from his bag and handed it to Qin Huairu.

"Thank you, Han Xiaodong." Qin Huairu took the medicine and fed it to the child.

After a busy period, the child's fever gradually subsided, and Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Qin, you're welcome. This is what I should do." Han Xiaodong smiled gently.

Since then, Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu have become closer. They would talk to each other about the trivialities of life and the troubles in their hearts.

One day, Han Xiaodong was chatting with Qin Huairu in the yard when Yan Bugui suddenly came over with a smug look on his face.

"Hey, Han Xiaodong, you and Sister Qin are so close, is there something going on?" Yan Bugui teased.

"Brother Yan, don't talk nonsense, we are just good friends." Han Xiaodong replied with a smile.

"That's right, Brother Yan, why are you always so gossipy?" Qin Huairu also laughed.

"Oh, I'm just concerned about you." Yan Bugui smiled.

Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu looked at each other and laughed.

At night, Han Xiaodong quietly thought about what had happened recently. He knew that his feelings for Qin Huairu were no longer just friends, but he also understood that Qin Huairu had her responsibilities and burdens, and he could not express his feelings rashly.

The next morning, Han Xiaodong decided to go talk to Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle Yi, I have something to discuss with you." Han Xiaodong said straight to the point.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Yi Zhonghai put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Han Xiaodong seriously.

"I...I seem to have fallen in love with Qin Huairu." Han Xiaodong said a little embarrassedly.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? If you like her, just chase her."

"But Sister Qin has a child, and she has always treated me as a friend. I'm afraid it will be embarrassing if I say it out loud." Han Xiaodong said distressedly.

"Matters of the heart cannot be forced, but they cannot be suppressed either. You can try to express yourself first and see how she reacts," Yi Zhonghai suggested.

Han Xiaodong nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yi. I will think about it carefully."

A few days later, Han Xiaodong decided to take the opportunity to talk to Qin Huairu. He invited Qin Huairu to take a walk in a nearby park, hoping to take this opportunity to express his feelings.

"Sister Qin, the weather is really nice today, let's go out for a walk." Han Xiaodong said with a smile.

"Yeah, I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to relax." Qin Huairu also smiled.

The two walked slowly in the park, chatting about daily life. Han Xiaodong was thinking about how to start the conversation, but he never found the right opportunity.

"Han Xiaodong, do you have anything to say to me?" Qin Huairu noticed Han Xiaodong's hesitation and asked.

"Sister Qin, actually... there is something I have always wanted to tell you." Han Xiaodong took a deep breath and said with courage.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Qin Huairu stopped and looked at Han Xiaodong seriously.

"Sister Qin, I...I seem to have fallen in love with you." Han Xiaodong finally plucked up the courage to speak his mind.

Qin Huairu was stunned, with a flash of surprise and complex emotions in her eyes. She did not answer immediately, but lowered her head and remained silent for a moment.

Han Xiaodong's heart beat faster and he waited nervously for Qin Huairu's response.

"Han Xiaodong, I... I don't know what to say." Qin Huairu finally spoke, her voice trembling. "You are a good person, but I have children and responsibilities. I don't want to implicate you."

"Sister Qin, I don't care about these. I just want to be with you and take care of you and the children." Han Xiaodong said firmly.
