"You are always so humble, but in fact you are the biggest contributor." Liu Guangfu said with a smile.

Life in the courtyard is always full of stories. Recently, Yan Jiecheng has had a hard time. He was found out for secretly working part-time in the factory. His boss severely criticized him and said he would report the matter, which might affect his future. Yan Jiecheng was depressed and paced in the courtyard every day.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng standing in the yard smoking, looking lonely, Han Xiaodong walked over and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Brother Jiecheng, what's wrong? You don't look well these days."

Yan Jiecheng looked up at Han Xiaodong and sighed, "Han Xiaodong, I've really gotten into big trouble this time. The factory has discovered that I'm working part-time, and the boss said they're going to report it. I'm afraid I can't keep this job anymore."

Han Xiaodong frowned, worried about Yan Jiecheng. He knew that Yan Jiecheng was the mainstay of the family, and if he lost his job, it would be a huge blow to him and his family.

"Brother Jie Cheng, don't be anxious. Let's calm down first and think about how to deal with it." Han Xiaodong comforted.

"But the factory's rules and regulations are clearly written, and I'm afraid there's nothing we can do this time," Yan Jiecheng said helplessly.

"We can try to talk to our leader and explain your situation clearly. Maybe they will give you a chance," Han Xiaodong suggested.

Yan Jiecheng shook his head: "I tried, but the leader didn't listen to my explanation at all."

Han Xiaodong pondered for a while and said, "Brother Jie Cheng, how about this? I will go with you to see the leader tomorrow and try again. We can explain your difficulties together, and perhaps the leader will give you a chance for the sake of our friendship."

Yan Jiecheng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, Han Xiaodong, I'll try again."

The next day, Han Xiaodong asked for leave and accompanied Yan Jiecheng to see the leader. They arrived at the factory office, and the leader relaxed his vigilance a little when he saw Han Xiaodong.

"Leader, this is my neighbor Han Xiaodong, he also works in the coal mine. We are here today to talk to you again about Yan Jiecheng." Yan Jiecheng said cautiously.

The leader nodded, motioned for them to sit down, and said coldly: "Say whatever you want, but the rules and regulations cannot be violated."

Han Xiaodong stepped forward and said sincerely, "Leader, Yan Jiecheng did make a mistake this time, but he had to work part-time because of the financial pressure at home. He was devoted to his family and did not consider the seriousness of the rules and regulations. We know he was wrong this time, but we hope you can give him a chance to make a new beginning."

The leader was silent for a while, looked at Yan Jiecheng, then looked at Han Xiaodong, and finally sighed: "What you said makes sense. But the rules and regulations cannot be violated easily. Yan Jiecheng's behavior has already caused an impact."

Han Xiaodong continued, "Leader, we understand your difficulties. We ask you to give him a warning instead of reporting him directly. This will not only maintain the seriousness of the rules and regulations, but also give him a chance to reform."

The leader hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, since you are so sincere, I decided to give Yan Jiecheng a chance. However, this is the last time. If something like this happens again, I will never show mercy again."

Thank you for your tolerance. I will definitely correct it.

Coming out of the office, Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Han Xiaodong with gratitude: "Han Xiaodong, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do this time."

Life in the courtyard continued as usual. Han Xiaodong was still busy working in the coal mine, but he never forgot to care about his neighbors. Recently, Yan Jiecheng was found to have secretly worked part-time in the factory. His superiors severely criticized him and threatened to report him. This made Yan Jiecheng frown and feel depressed.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng wandering in the yard with anxiety written all over his face, Han Xiaodong stepped forward and asked with concern: "Brother Jiecheng, what's wrong with you recently? You look so worried all day long, is there something wrong?" "Han Xiaodong, I'm in big trouble this time. The factory found out that I was secretly working part-time, and the boss said he would report it. I'm afraid I can't keep this job."

, frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Brother Jie Cheng, don't worry, there is always a way to solve the problem. Let's calm down first and think about how to explain it to the leader."

Yan Jiecheng smiled bitterly and said, "I tried it, but the leader didn't listen to my explanation at all."

Say firmly: "I will go with you to see your boss tomorrow and try again. We can explain your situation together and maybe your boss will show some leniency."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yan Jiecheng's eyes: "Okay, Han Xiaodong, I'll trouble you tomorrow."

The next day, Han Xiaodong asked for leave and went to the factory with Yan Jiecheng. The two came to the leader's office, and the leader relaxed his vigilance a little when he saw Han Xiaodong.

In addition to helping Yan Jiecheng solve his problems, Han Xiaodong also often visits the deaf old lady in the courtyard. The deaf old lady is an old resident of the courtyard. She is old and her hearing is not working well. She has many inconveniences in life. Han Xiaodong often visits her and helps her solve various difficulties in life.

"Don't be polite, old lady. It's too hard for you to do all this by yourself." Han Xiaodong said as he helped hang the clothes on the clothesline.

The deaf old lady patted Han Xiaodong's hand and said gratefully: "You are such a good boy. You always care about me, an old lady."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Old lady, you are the elder in the hospital, and everyone should take care of you."

One morning, Han Xiaodong just got up and heard the voice of the deaf old lady coming from the yard. She was calling the children in the yard to have breakfast. Han Xiaodong walked over and asked with a smile: "Old lady, why is it so lively today?"

When the deaf old lady saw Han Xiaodong, she smiled and said, "Han Xiaodong, the children are on holiday today. I made some food and we can eat together."

Han Xiaodong looked at the happy children in the yard. He helped the deaf old lady take care of the children, and everyone was having a great time.

"Han Xiaodong, you always care about everyone. You're such a good boy." The deaf old lady said with emotion.

In the evening, Han Xiaodong and the deaf old lady sat in the yard and chatted.

Although the life in the courtyard is dull, there are also some small waves. Recently, the relationship between Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu has become tense, and the two have been arguing over trivial matters. This makes the atmosphere of the whole courtyard a little depressing. Han Xiaodong saw it and thought about how to mediate the conflict between them and restore harmony.

As soon as he entered the yard, he heard the quarrel between Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu. Han Xiaodong walked over quickly and saw the two standing in the yard, their faces were livid and they were very emotional.

"Qin Huairu, why are you so unreasonable? Your garbage is always thrown around, making our doorstep dirty!" Jia Zhang said angrily.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, stop slandering me! We take out the garbage in our house on time, we never throw it away randomly!" Qin Huairu retorted without giving in.

Seeing this, Han Xiaodong quickly stepped forward and advised: "Two sisters, we are all neighbors. If you have anything to say, just talk it out and stop arguing."

He snorted coldly: "Han Xiaodong, you came at the right time. Please judge for yourself. Does her family always litter?"

Qin Huairu also looked at Han Xiaodong, with a trace of grievance in her eyes: "Han Xiaodong, you know, my family has always been very careful about hygiene and has never littered."

Han Xiaodong thought for a moment and said, "My dear sisters, arguing like this won't solve the problem. Why don't we sit down and have a good chat to see where the problem lies?"

But they finally agreed. The three of them found a quiet place to sit down and started talking.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, Sister Qin, please calm down first. We are all family, and we can talk it out if there is anything." Han Xiaodong said gently.

Jia Zhang sighed and said, "Han Xiaodong, I'm not trying to make trouble on purpose, it's just that there's always garbage at the door of our house, and I really can't stand it."

His voice calmed down a little. “I understand how you feel, but we really don’t have any garbage thrown around in our house.”

After thinking for a while, he said, "Could it be that the garbage from someone else's house was accidentally blown to your door by the wind?"

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were both silent, as if thinking about this possibility.

"How about this, we can work together to find a way to put the trash can in a fixed place and take turns cleaning it every day, so that everyone can keep the yard clean." Han Xiaodong suggested.

Qin Huairu nodded: "This is a good idea, I agree."

Although Jia Zhang was still a little hesitant, she finally nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try."

The garbage problem in the yard was well solved, and the relationship between Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu gradually eased. Although they occasionally had some minor frictions, they were always resolved in time under Han Xiaodong's mediation.

"Han Xiaodong, thank you for your help in mediation recently, otherwise I don't know how long Jia Zhang and I would have quarreled." Qin Huairu said.

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Sister Qin, we are all neighbors, and we should help each other. If you have a good relationship, the atmosphere of the whole courtyard will be better."

"Han Xiaodong, thank you so much for your care recently. If it weren't for you, Qin Huairu and I would probably still be arguing." Jia Zhang said.

"You are right, Han Xiaodong. We will get along well with each other in the future and stop quarreling over trivial matters." Jia Zhang nodded.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong met Yi Zhonghai in the yard, and the two began to talk about recent events.

"Han Xiaodong, I heard that you helped Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu resolve their conflict.

One morning, Han Xiaodong just got up and heard the laughter of children coming from the yard. It turned out that Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were playing with the children. Seeing them reconciled

"Han Xiaodong, good morning!" Qin Huairu greeted.

"Good morning, Sister Qin, Sister Jia, it's great to see you guys reconcile." Han Xiaodong said with a smile.
