Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction, "Work hard, young man. It's a good thing to be enterprising."

When Zhang Liang returned to the compound, he ran into Yi Zhonghai basking in the sun in the yard. Yi Zhonghai was an old resident of the compound and also an old friend of Zhang Liang.

"Zhang Liang, you look so happy, what good news is that?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile.

Zhang Liang couldn't wait to tell Yi Zhonghai about his promotion.

"This is really good news," Yi Zhonghai patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder, "I've long seen that you have a promising future, keep working hard."

However, life is not always smooth sailing. One day, Jia Dongxu and Banggeng had a quarrel in the yard because Banggeng stole Jia Dongxu's things.

"You little bastard, how dare you steal my things!" Jia Dongxu stomped his feet in anger.

Bang Geng said stubbornly, "Who stole your things? I was just borrowing them!"

At this time, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also came over to see what was going on. Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "Dongxu, don't be so angry. He's just a kid. Just teach him a lesson."

Jia Dongxu refused to give in, "Teach me a lesson? I've taught you several times, but you're still stealing!"

Zhang Liang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stepped forward and advised, "Dongxu, it's inevitable for children to make mistakes, so be patient. Banggeng, remember in the future, you can't take things that are not yours, understand?"

Banggen lowered his head and whispered, "Got it."

Jia Dongxu snorted coldly, "You are such a good guy, you will be bullied sooner or later."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "It's never wrong to do good things."

As time went by, Zhang Liang's position in the factory gradually rose, and his technical and management abilities were increasingly recognized. One day, the factory decided to send him to Beijing to attend an important technical training course. This was a huge opportunity for Zhang Liang, and he knew that this training might change his destiny.

Before going to Beijing, Zhang Liang visited the deaf old lady. Although the deaf old lady was old, she was still energetic.

"Zhang Liang, are you going on a long journey?" asked the deaf old lady.

Zhang Liang nodded, "Yes, old lady, this is a good opportunity, I will definitely cherish it."

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "You are an ambitious child. I believe you will succeed. Remember, no matter how far you go, don't forget this courtyard and these neighbors."

Zhang Liang nodded with emotion, "Old lady, I will never forget it."

During the training, Zhang Liang met many elites in the industry, learned a lot of new knowledge, and broadened his horizons. A few months later, when he returned to the courtyard, he seemed to be a new person.

When the neighbors saw Zhang Liang coming back, they gathered around him and asked him about his recent situation. Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, you look so energetic. The training must have gone well, right?"

Zhang Liang nodded, "Yes, I learned a lot and made a lot of friends."

Yan Bugui joked, "Then our little courtyard will depend on you from now on."

Zhang Liang said seriously, "Uncle, I will definitely work hard. Zhang Liang's position in the factory is getting higher and higher, and his life is getting better and better. However, he has not forgotten those who have helped him, especially the deaf old lady. He often returns to the courtyard to visit the old lady and other neighbors and help them solve some problems within his ability.

One day, Jia Zhang found Zhang Liang, looking a little panicked, "Zhang Liang, Dongxu has a problem with his work, can you help him?"

After Zhang Liang learned about the situation, he decided to use his connections to help Jia Dongxu find a new job. Although the process was not smooth, the problem was eventually solved.

Jia Dongxu said gratefully, "Zhang Liang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do."

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "Neighbors should help each other."

A few years later, Zhang Liang's career reached a new height. He became a senior manager in the factory and his life became more prosperous. However, he never forgot the courtyard and the neighbors who had accompanied him through the difficult times. He often went back to chat with everyone and recall the good times they had spent together.

One day, Zhang Liang returned to the courtyard with his wife and children. Qin Huairu saw him and said with a smile, "Zhang Liang, you brought your family back this time." "Yes, I want them to see the place where I grew up."

When the deaf old lady saw Zhang Liang, her eyes were filled with relief. "Zhang Liang, you have made a difference now. I am so happy for you."

Zhang Liang held the old lady's hand and said gratefully, "Old lady, if you hadn't taken me in and taken care of me, I wouldn't be where I am today."

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "You are a good child, you deserve it."

In that courtyard, Zhang Liang and his neighbors spent countless unforgettable moments together. They experienced ups and downs together, and also welcomed a happy life together. Zhang Liang knew that this courtyard was not only his home, but also the warmest harbor in his heart.

As time passed, the courtyard gradually aged, but those memories remained in Zhang Liang's heart forever. He knew that no matter how far he went or how high he flew, this courtyard and these neighbors would always be his most precious wealth.

Zhang Liang met Qin Huairu, a single mother whose family was in financial difficulty and she often received help from Zhang Liang.

In the 1970s, Zhang Liang, whose parents died young, opened the wooden door.

"Morning, Zhang Liang, you are really hardworking." "Good morning, Sister Qin." I am used to it. "Yes, keep working hard."

At this time, he was fiddling with it, "Zhang Liang," "Uncle Yan," "Okay,

"Okay, sir, come find me anytime. He knows that one day,

"Zhang Liang, do your best, young man.

"Zhang Liang, what's the good news?"

However, one day,

At this time, "Dongxu, kid, teach me?" He stepped forward and advised, "Dongxu, it's a good trick, do you know?" He whispered, "I know. One day, he knew,

"Zhang Liang, "Yes, old lady, remember," old lady, a few months later," Zhang Liang, "Yes," Master, however,

One day, "Zhang Liang," Zhang Liang, thank you, if it weren't for you, however,

One day, Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Yes," Zhang Liang said gratefully, "Old lady, take care of me, it's worth it. Zhang Liang knew, he knew, how high these neighbors fly,

Zhang Liang's career developed steadily, and he gradually became the backbone of the factory. However, the lives of the neighbors were still full of hardships. Especially Qin Huairu, as a single mother, the pressure of life was on her.

Yan Bugui is the shopkeeper of the compound. He is mean and often has conflicts with his neighbors. Zhang Liang tries to mediate. Zhang Liang's parents died early.

Life in the Siheyuan compound was not always peaceful, especially under the management of the shopkeeper Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui was mean and fussy, and often had conflicts with his neighbors. Zhang Liang never avoided these problems and always tried his best to mediate. Zhang Liang was sweeping the floor in the yard when he suddenly heard a quarrel. He looked up and saw that it was Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu who were arguing.

"Qin Huairu, why did your family pay less water bill again? Are you trying to take advantage of the compound?" Yan Bugui's voice was sharp, his brows furrowed.

Qin Huairu's face flushed, and she said angrily: "Uncle Yan, I have never underpaid my water bill. This is recorded in the account book. Don't wrongly accuse me!"

"There is a record in the account book? Then why is it missing in my account book?" Yan Bugui pressed on.

Zhang Liang quickly put down his broom and walked over to persuade them: "Uncle Yan, Sister Qin, why are you arguing so early in the morning? If you have something to say, please talk it over nicely."

Yan Bugui glared at Zhang Liang, "Zhang Liang, don't get involved, this is a big deal!"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Zhang Liang, you need to help me judge this matter. I definitely did not underpay the water bill. Uncle Yan is deliberately making trouble."

Zhang Liang looked at the two people and thought about how to solve this problem. He remembered the management experience he learned in the factory and decided to figure things out first.

"Uncle Yan, Sister Qin, how about this? Let's check the account books first to see where the problem lies, okay?" Zhang Liang suggested.

Yan Bugui snorted coldly, "Okay, I want to see how she argues!"

Qin Huairu nodded in agreement, "Just check it, I'm not afraid!"

Zhang Liang took the two back to Yan Bugui's room and began to check the account book. After a careful inspection, Zhang Liang found that the account book was indeed a bit messy, especially the records in recent months, many of which did not match. "Sister Qin, let me suggest this: let's reorganize the accounts in recent months and compare them with the actual water usage to see where the problem lies." Zhang Liang suggested.

Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Zhang Liang, help us sort it out. I don't believe I will pay less."

Although Yan Bugui was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree, "That's it, but this matter must be resolved as soon as possible."

After a few days of hard work, Zhang Liang finally sorted out the accounts and found that the problem was with Yan Bugui's accounting method. He had recorded the water consumption incorrectly several times, resulting in incorrect accounts. "The problem has been found. You recorded the water consumption incorrectly several times." Zhang Liang explained while holding the sorted account book.

Yan Bugui's face changed, and he was a little embarrassed. "This... this may be my momentary negligence."

Qin Huairu sneered, "Master Yan, please don't wrongly accuse people anymore."

Zhang Liang quickly tried to smooth things over, "Okay, the problem has been solved. Everyone should be more careful in the future and don't let these little things ruin the relationship."

Qin Huairu looked at Zhang Liang gratefully, "Zhang Liang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how this matter would be resolved." "Neighbors should help each other, Sister Qin, you're welcome."

Since then, Yan Bugui's attitude towards Zhang Liang has changed a little. Although he is still harsh, at least he no longer picks on him. Zhang Liang also pays more attention to mediating conflicts between neighbors and tries his best to maintain harmony in the compound.

A few days later, one afternoon, Zhang Liang had just returned from the factory and saw Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu arguing fiercely in the yard.

"Liu Guangtian, what makes you say that I stole your things? Do you have any evidence?" Liu Guangfu was furious.
