There is a tall locust tree in the courtyard of the quadrangle, under the tree is an ancient well, next to it are a few bamboo chairs, where a few old people often sit, chatting and drinking tea. There are also a few small houses in the yard, one is Han Xiaodong's bedroom, one is the living room, and the other two are for guests to live in.

Han Xiaodong's father is a carpenter and his mother is an embroiderer. They are hardworking and kind, and they keep every inch of the courtyard in good order. Han Xiaodong has been learning carpentry and embroidery from his parents since he was a child, and their family craftsmanship has never been interrupted.

There are several other families in the courtyard. They are all neighbors and villagers. Like Han Xiaodong's family, they are hardworking and kind. They help each other and take care of the courtyard together, making it full of warmth and vitality.

As time passed, Han Xiaodong grew up and began to think about his future. He longed to make this courtyard better and let the people in it live a better life.

So Han Xiaodong began to plan some changes. He used his carpentry skills to make some furniture for each family in the courtyard to make their living environment more comfortable. He also learned some business management knowledge and began to think about how to make the courtyard more vibrant and let everyone in the courtyard contribute something.

Han Xiaodong and other young people in the courtyard have carried out some activities, such as organizing cultural performances, holding handicraft exhibitions, etc., which have attracted many foreign tourists and brought some extra income to the people in the courtyard.

During this process, Han Xiaodong met many like-minded friends, and they discussed together how to better develop the Siheyuan and give new vitality to this ancient courtyard.

However, there are also many challenges. Sometimes people in the courtyard will have disagreements over trivial matters, but Han Xiaodong always uses his wisdom and tolerance to resolve these conflicts and bring everyone together again.

One morning in the courtyard, the sun shines through the leaves of the locust tree and falls into the yard. Han Xiaodong gets up early, wearing a loose blue shirt, with his hair neatly combed and a smile on his face, and starts the new day.

Walking out of his hut, Han Xiaodong saw some people busy in the yard. He walked under the locust tree and saw several old men drinking tea and chatting. One of them was Lao Li, the oldest in the courtyard. His old face was full of traces of time, but his eyes showed determination and wisdom.

"Good morning, Han Xiaodong." Old Li greeted him with a smile when he saw Han Xiaodong coming over.

"Good morning, Lao Li." Han Xiaodong responded with a smile, "Any plans for the yard today?"

"Well, today we plan to clean up the yard and get rid of all those weeds." Old Li said, pointing to a corner of the yard that was overgrown with weeds.

"Okay, I'll go call a few people to help." Han Xiaodong agreed and turned to walk to the other side of the yard.

Walking to the other side of the yard, Han Xiaodong saw a group of young people busy there. Some of them were repairing wooden furniture in the yard, and some were rehearsing for the evening performance.

Han Xiaodong walked among them and said with a smile: "Good morning, everyone. We are going to clean the yard today. Who is willing to come and help?"

"I'll do it!" A tall young man stood up immediately. His name was Liu Guangfu, and he was the best worker in the yard.

"Okay, let's go together." Han Xiaodong said, leading Liu Guangfu and several other young people to a weed-covered corner of the yard.

They picked up their tools and started to clean the yard. Han Xiaodong and Liu Guangfu used hoes to weed, while others swept the ground with brooms. Soon, the yard became clean and tidy.

After cleaning the yard, everyone sat under the locust tree to rest and drink cool tea. Liu Guangfu looked at Han Xiaodong and couldn't help but admire him: "Brother Han Xiaodong, you are really amazing. You are so busy every day, but you can still lead us to do these things together."

Han Xiaodong smiled, shook his head and said: "This is the result of our joint efforts. I am just an ordinary person."

"No, no, no, Brother Han Xiaodong, you are too modest." Liu Guangfu waved his hands repeatedly, "Your wisdom and courage have inspired us all."

After hearing this, Han Xiaodong showed a shy smile on his face. He knew that he still had a lot of shortcomings, but he also understood that as long as everyone worked together, all difficulties could be overcome.

At this moment, there was a noise from the other side of the yard. Han Xiaodong and Liu Guangfu exchanged glances, immediately stood up and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

They saw a group of children playing in the yard. They were chasing a kite excitedly and their laughter filled the whole yard.

"Be careful, don't fall." Han Xiaodong shouted, and he walked forward to help the children adjust the kite strings.

Liu Guangfu also came over and said to the children with a smile: "Are you having fun?"

The children nodded repeatedly. They were familiar with Han Xiaodong and Liu Guangfu and knew that they were the leaders of the courtyard, but they also regarded them as friends.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, I heard that you are planning a new project recently, is that right?" Liu Guangfu looked at Han Xiaodong and asked.

"Yes, I am thinking about how to provide a stable source of income for the people in the courtyard," Han Xiaodong replied. "I want to set up a small handicraft workshop so that everyone can participate and create some unique products together."

Upon hearing the news, Liu Guangfu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "This is a great idea. I will definitely support you with all my strength."

On a sunny afternoon, Han Xiaodong stood in the courtyard of the quadrangle and watched several craftsmen busy making handicrafts. He was full of expectations for the future, and he believed that this project would definitely bring more opportunities and income.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked into the yard. It was Qin Huairu, a beautiful and independent woman who had once been Han Xiaodong's neighbor and a beautiful memory in his heart.

Qin Huairu saw Han Xiaodong standing there, smiled and walked over. "Han Xiaodong, long time no see."

"Miss Qin, you're here." Han Xiaodong responded with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Qin Huairu looked at the busy scene in the yard and nodded. "I heard that you are planning a handicraft workshop. I came to see if I can help."

Han Xiaodong looked at Qin Huairu with gratitude. He knew that she was a capable woman and if he could get her help, the project would have a greater chance of success.
