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

The man's face turned pale and he turned and ran. Han Xiaodong and Yan Bugui immediately chased him. After a chase, they finally forced the man into a corner. Yan Bugui stepped forward and said sternly: "Tell the truth, did you steal something?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the man slumped to the ground and admitted in a low voice: "It's me, I just want to get some money, I don't mean any harm."

Han Xiaodong and Yan Bugui looked at each other and decided to take the man back to the courtyard first. When they got back to the courtyard, everyone gathered around after hearing that the thief had been caught. Jia Zhang said proudly, "I knew it. Someone must have stolen something."

Han Xiaodong looked at the thief, but he knew he couldn't let him off easily. He said to everyone, "This man admitted that he stole the things, but we should give him a chance to reform." "Han Xiaodong is right. No one is perfect. As long as he is truly repentant, we should give him a chance."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the thief looked at Han Xiaodong and everyone with gratitude: "I will definitely change my ways."

Things came to an end for the time being. Han Xiaodong felt that this day was both tense and fulfilling. He returned to the house, lay on the bed, and thought about the many things he had to do tomorrow, and slowly fell asleep. Han Xiaodong made more and more friends in the yard. Everyone cared for each other and helped each other. Although life was hard, it was also full of warmth. Han Xiaodong found a sense of home in this slum. He decided to protect this home and face the ups and downs of the future with everyone.

One day, Han Xiaodong was repairing a broken bicycle in the yard. Yan Jiecheng came over and said, "Han Xiaodong, I heard that you have good skills.

Han Xiaodong is admired and loved by the residents of the Siheyuan for his superb cooking skills.

Han Xiaodong gradually became famous in the courtyard, not only because he was willing to help others, but also because of his superb cooking skills. The neighbors in the courtyard praised his cooking skills and sometimes specially invited him to cook a table of delicious dishes to celebrate festivals or important days at home. Han Xiaodong was willing to help others and always accepted the invitation enthusiastically, which made everyone like him even more.

This morning, Han Xiaodong was sorting out the vegetables he had grown in the yard. He smiled and asked, "Han Xiaodong, are you free at noon today? I'd like to ask you to help me cook a few dishes."

Han Xiaodong looked up at Qin Huairu and nodded: "I'm free, Sister Qin, what day is today?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Today is my child's birthday. I would like to ask you to help cook a few of your specialties to give them a surprise."

Han Xiaodong readily agreed: "Okay, it's just a small matter. I'll go get ready and go in a while." "Thank you so much, Han Xiaodong. We are all neighbors, and it's only right to help each other."

After Qin Huairu left, Han Xiaodong returned to the house and began to prepare the ingredients for cooking. He listed the things he needed one by one, then picked up the basket and went to the market to buy fresh ingredients. The market was bustling with people coming and going. Han Xiaodong picked out fresh vegetables and meat, thinking about the dishes he would make today.

Back in the yard, Han Xiaodong sorted out the ingredients one by one and started to cook. He was skilled in his movements and his knife skills were superb. After a while, the kitchen was filled with fragrance. Qin Huairu smelled the fragrance and walked into the kitchen, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Han Xiaodong, I know it's delicious just by smelling it."

Han Xiaodong smiled and turned back: "Sister Qin, just wait and taste it. I promise you will be satisfied in a while. Jia Dongxu and Liu Haizhong came in. They were also attracted by the fragrance. Jia Dongxu smiled and said: "Han Xiaodong, you are showing off your skills again. What good stuff is this? Let us have a taste too."

Liu Haizhong echoed: "Yes, Han Xiaodong, your craftsmanship is really enviable."

Han Xiaodong was frying the food in the pot, and said with a smile: "Okay, when it's done, let's have a taste together." The dishes with good color, aroma and taste were placed on the table. Qin Huairu's children's eyes lit up when they saw such a sumptuous meal. They circled around the table, waiting for the meal to start. Qin Huairu smiled and called everyone: "Come on, everyone come and have a taste. Today, thanks to Han Xiaodong's help."

Everyone took their seats and happily enjoyed the delicious meal. Han Xiaodong was also very happy when he saw everyone's satisfied expressions. Liu Guangfu praised while eating: "Han Xiaodong, this dish is better than those in restaurants outside."

Jia Zhang couldn't help but nod: "Yes, Han Xiaodong, if you open a small restaurant, the business will definitely be good."

Han Xiaodong smiled and waved his hand: "I don't have the ability to open a restaurant. Everyone gathered together to chat and talk about everything. Han Xiaodong also joined in, listening to everyone telling their stories. This kind of concern and warmth between neighbors made him feel that the courtyard was his home.

A few days later, the hospital welcomed another special day - the birthday of the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady was highly respected in the hospital and everyone respected her. In order to celebrate her birthday, everyone decided to hold a small celebration party. Of course, Han Xiaodong's cooking skills once again became the focus.

Yan Bugui found Han Xiaodong and said, "Han Xiaodong, this birthday party for the deaf old lady depends entirely on you. Everyone says that your cooking is the most delicious." "No problem, I will definitely prepare it well."

Yan Jiecheng also came over and joked: "Han Xiaodong, you have to show your best skills this time, otherwise we won't let you go." "Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy everyone this time."

On the day of the celebration, Han Xiaodong started preparing early. He carefully selected the ingredients and cooked each dish carefully. The deaf old lady sat in the middle of the yard with a pleased smile on her face.

Jia Dongxu came over and said to the deaf old lady with a smile: "Old lady, you are in for a treat today. You will definitely like the dishes cooked by Han Xiaodong." "Yes, Han Xiaodong is a rare kid. It is our blessing to have a neighbor like him. Delicious dishes were placed on the table. Everyone praised them. Qin Huairu raised her glass, "Come on, let's toast to the deaf old lady and wish her good health and longevity! Bless the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady looked at everyone with emotion and said with a smile: I am so happy to have you children around."

The celebration was going on with laughter and joy. Han Xiaodong felt satisfied as he saw everyone's happy faces. He knew that he had found his true home in this courtyard.

After the party, everyone left. Han Xiaodong was busy cleaning up the dishes on the table. He smiled and said to him, "Han Xiaodong, you've worked hard today."

Han Xiaodong smiled and shook his head: "It's not hard, as long as everyone is happy, I'm happy."

Yan Bugui patted his shoulder: You are so sensible. Just say it. "Thank you, Brother Yan, I will remember it. His expression was a little hurried: "Han Xiaodong, something happened." Seeing Jia Zhang's expression, he immediately became nervous: "Aunt Zhang, what's wrong?"

Jia Zhang gasped and said, "The deaf old lady is missing. We have searched everywhere but couldn't find her."

Han Xiaodong felt nervous when he heard this. He immediately put down his work and followed Jia Zhang to look for the deaf old lady. They searched the yard but still couldn't find her. Han Xiaodong became more and more anxious, thinking that the deaf old lady was in poor health. What if something happened to her?

He ran outside the yard and saw Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong also looking for someone, so he asked anxiously: "Did you find the deaf old lady?"

Qin Huairu shook her head: "No, we have searched several streets and didn't see anyone."

Han Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said, "We can't keep looking like this. We have to split up and ask people nearby if anyone has seen her."

Everyone nodded and immediately dispersed to continue looking for the deaf old lady. Han Xiaodong ran to the streets and alleys, asked many people, and finally met an old man in a small alley. The old man told him that he saw an old lady who seemed to be lost and walked into the alley ahead.

Han Xiaodong was delighted and immediately ran in the direction the old man pointed. As expected, he found the deaf old lady at the end of the alley. She was sitting on the ground, looking very weak. Han Xiaodong ran over and helped her up, asking with concern, "Old lady, are you okay?"

The deaf old lady looked up and saw that it was Han Xiaodong. She forced a smile and said, "Han Xiaodong, I feel a little dizzy. I couldn't find the way back just now."

Han Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief and helped the deaf old lady slowly walk back to the yard. When everyone saw them coming back, they gathered around and asked about the deaf old lady's condition. Qin Huairu brought a cup of hot water and handed it to the deaf old lady: "Old lady, you scared us to death, drink some water and take a rest."

The deaf old lady took the water and looked at everyone gratefully: "Thank you

Qin Huairu often asked Han Xiaodong to help with cooking.

Han Xiaodong's days in the courtyard became more and more fulfilling, and his relationship with his neighbors became better and better, especially with Qin Huairu.

That day, Qin Huairu came to Han Xiaodong for help again. She stood at Han Xiaodong's door and asked with a smile: "Han Xiaodong, are you free? I have something to do at home today, and I would like to ask you to help cook a few dishes."

Han Xiaodong was busy writing a letter in the room. When he heard Qin Huairu's voice, he immediately put down the pen in his hand and walked to the door: "Sister Qin, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qin Huairu said a little embarrassedly: "Today is Xiaodang's birthday. I want to make something delicious for her, but I can't do it alone."

Han Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "No problem, I happen to have time. What dish do you want me to cook?"

Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Han Xiaodong. Xiaodang likes to eat braised pork and fish-flavored eggplant. Can you help me make these two dishes?"

Han Xiaodong readily agreed: "No problem, braised pork and fish-flavored eggplant, I'll go prepare the ingredients right away."

Qin Huairu nodded happily: "Thank you so much, Han Xiaodong."

Han Xiaodong picked up the basket and prepared to go to the market to buy food. When he walked out of the yard, he saw Jia Dongxu chatting with Banggeng. Jia Dongxu smiled and greeted him: "Han Xiaodong, are you going to the market to buy food again?
