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

"You were sneaking around my door last night. Who else could it be but you?" Liu Guangtian was furious.

Zhang Liang walked forward and waved his hand to signal the two to calm down. "Brothers, stop arguing. If you have anything to say, talk slowly."

Liu Guangtian pointed at Liu Guangfu and said, "Zhang Liang, tell me, this guy was hanging around my door last night and he still refuses to admit it!"

Liu Guangfu defended himself: "I was just passing by, I didn't touch your things at all!"

Zhang Liang thought for a moment and decided to clarify the matter first, "Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, what happened last night? Can you tell me in detail?"

Liu Guangtian said angrily: "I heard some noise at the door last night, and when I came out I saw Liu Guangfu there."

Liu Guangfu retorted: Your doorway is narrow to begin with, and I have to pass through it. "Okay, then let's go check the scene first, and then investigate carefully to see if there are any clues."

The three of them came to Liu Guangtian's door. Zhang Liang looked carefully and found some inconspicuous footprints on the ground. Zhang Liang squatted down, pointed at the footprints and said, "Look, what are these footprints?"

Liu Guangtian stared at Liu Guangfu, "He left it here!"

Liu Guangfu hurriedly shook his head, "This is not my footprint, my shoes are smaller than this!"

Zhang Liang frowned, thinking that the matter seemed complicated. He stood up and said to the two men, "In this case, let's go find other neighbors to see if anyone has seen anything."

When they walked into the yard, they happened to meet Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui chatting. When Zhang Liang told them about the situation, they were also concerned and expressed their willingness to help investigate.

Yi Zhonghai recalled: "I seemed to hear someone moving around last night, but I couldn't see who it was."

Yan Bugui said: "I went to bed early last night and didn't notice it."

Zhang Liang sighed. It seemed that he would not be able to find any strong evidence for a while. He turned to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and said, "Let's wait and see if there are any other clues. Everyone, please pay attention and don't jump to conclusions."

Although Liu Guangtian was dissatisfied, he could only nod in agreement. Liu Guangfu looked at Zhang Liang gratefully and said, "Zhang Liang, thank you for speaking for me."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Neighbors should understand each other and not let misunderstandings hurt the harmony."

That night, Zhang Liang returned to his room, thinking about the disputes of the past few days. He knew that everyone in this compound had their own difficulties and troubles, but everyone lived together and needed to care and understand each other.

Suddenly, he heard some noise outside, so he quickly opened the door and went out, and saw Banggeng wandering stealthily in the yard.

"Banggeng, what are you doing?" Zhang Liang asked in a low voice.

Bang Geng was startled, and turned around to see that it was Zhang Liang, "I... I didn't do anything."

Zhang Liang took a few steps closer and looked at Bang Geng seriously. "If you have anything to say, tell me. I won't hurt you." After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Brother Zhang Liang, I've been in some trouble recently and I didn't dare to tell anyone."

Zhang Liang asked with concern: "What's the trouble? Tell me and I'll see if I can help you."

Banggeng hesitated for a moment, but decided to confess. "I've been playing a little too much with some friends recently, and I owe them some money. They said they would beat me up if I didn't pay them back." "Banggeng, how could you hang out with those people? You should have told me about this earlier, and we could have found a way to solve it together."

Bang Geng whispered, "I know I was wrong, but what should I do now?" He said, "How about this, I'll lend you some money first, you pay back what you owe, and we can slowly work out the other things. If you encounter any problems in the future, remember to tell me first."

Bang Geng said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Zhang Liang, I will definitely change in the future!"

Zhang Liang patted his shoulder and said, "Be a good person and don't let those bad guys

Yi Zhonghai is an old resident of the courtyard and a retired worker. He likes to tell stories about the steel mill in the courtyard. Zhang Liang, whose parents died early,

One evening, the aroma of food wafted through the courtyard, and neighbors gathered in the yard to chat and enjoy the rare leisure time. Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle of the yard, holding a cattail leaf fan and fanning rhythmically. He was an old resident of the courtyard, a retired worker, and often told everyone stories about his time at the steel mill.

"Zhang Liang, come here. Today I will tell you about the things at the steel mill." Yi Zhonghai called.

Zhang Liang came over with a bowl of porridge in his hand, smiling, "Uncle Yi, what new stories do you have?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, "It's not new, but I think those days are really worth reminiscing about. You know, at that time, the production tasks in our factory were really heavy, and we often had to work overtime until late at night."

Qin Huairu also came over with a bowl in hand, "Uncle Yi, I heard that the equipment in your factory was not advanced at that time. Was it very hard?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded. "Yes, the equipment was simple at that time, but our workers were very motivated. I remember one time, a rolling mill broke down, and several of us repaired it overnight in order not to delay production progress."

Zhang Liang listened attentively, his heart filled with respect for that period of time, "Uncle Yi, you are really amazing. That kind of spirit is rarely seen nowadays."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder. "Zhang Liang, you are also an ambitious young man. Your conditions are good now, but you must not lose your fighting spirit."

At this time, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also came over and sat aside to listen to the story. Liu Guangtian asked: "Uncle Yi, how much was your salary at that time?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "The salary is not high, but we all think it is worth it. For the sake of national construction and the development of the factory, everyone is willing to contribute."

Liu Guangfu nodded and said, "Thinking about it now, it was really not easy back then."

Suddenly, Yan Bugui came over with a hint of displeasure on his face, "What are you guys talking about? Why are you so excited?"

Yi Zhonghai replied calmly, "Tell me the story of our factory, Uncle Yan, you should come and listen too."

Yan Bugui snorted, "What's so good about it? It's all in the past."

Zhang Liang saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Master Yan, Master Yi's story is very interesting. Please sit down and listen."

Yan Bugui finally sat down, but he still looked unhappy. Yi Zhonghai continued to tell his story, and everyone listened with great interest.

Suddenly, Bang Geng ran over, looking panicked, "Brother Zhang Liang, it's bad, my mom fell down!"

Zhang Liang stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "Bang Geng, don't worry, I'll go take a look!"

Qin Huairu also hurriedly put down the bowl and said, "I'll go help too!"

Several people hurried to Banggeng's house, only to see Jia Zhang sitting on the ground, her face pale, with cold sweat on her forehead. Zhang Liang squatted down and asked with concern: "Aunt Jia, how are you? Where does it hurt?"

Jia Zhang replied with difficulty: "My leg seems to be twisted, and it hurts a lot."

Qin Huairu comforted her: "Don't be afraid, we will take you to the hospital."

Zhang Liang helped Jia Zhang up, Qin Huairu helped beside him, and the two took her to the hospital. After the doctor's examination, Jia Zhang's leg was only slightly sprained, and there was nothing serious, but she needed to rest for a while.

After returning to the courtyard, Jia Zhang said to Zhang Liang and Qin Huairu gratefully: "Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Auntie, you're welcome. It's only natural for neighbors to help each other."

Qin Huairu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, you should take good care of your injuries. If you need anything, just let me know."

At night, Zhang Liang returned to his room, thinking about what happened today. He knew that although the people in the courtyard lived a hard life, their mutual help and care made the courtyard full of warmth.

The next day, Zhang Liang went to work early in the morning. The factory had an important project recently, and Zhang Liang was entrusted with an important task. He dared not slack off for a moment. When he arrived at the factory, the factory director found him among the bangs.

"Zhang Liang, this project is very important to our factory, you must do your best." Liu Haizhong said solemnly.

Zhang Liang nodded, "Director, don't worry, I will do my best. "Okay, I have confidence in you."

Zhang Liang was busy at work, busy in the factory during the day, and caring about the lives of his neighbors when he returned to the courtyard at night. One night, Zhang Liang just got off work and returned to the courtyard, and saw Yan Bugui and Liu Guangfu arguing again.

"Yan Bugui, what makes you say that I stole your coal? What evidence do you have?" Liu Guangfu said angrily.

Yan Bugui's face was gloomy. "I clearly saw you sneaking around my coal pile yesterday. Don't think I didn't see you!"

Liu Guangfu stamped his feet in anger, "You're talking nonsense! I was just passing by!"

Zhang Liang quickly stepped forward to dissuade them, "Uncle Yan, Brother Liu, stop arguing, let's talk it out."

Yan Bugui sneered, "Talk it over nicely? He stole my coal, can we still talk it over nicely?"

Liu Guangfu was furious. "I didn't steal your coal! Zhang Liang, tell me, why did he frame me like this?"

Zhang Liang felt that the situation was a bit tricky, but he couldn't just sit there and watch. "Master Yan, Brother Liu, let's get things straight first and don't jump to conclusions."

Yan Bugui said disdainfully: "Find out? He just stole my coal, what else is there to figure out?"

Zhang Liang shook his head. "Master Yan, let's first see if there are any other clues. Don't wrongly accuse anyone."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai came over and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder, "Zhang Liang is right, let's get things straight first."

Several people walked to Yan Bugui's coal pile and checked it carefully. Zhang Liang found some scattered coal slag on the ground, which seemed to have been moved by someone. "Did you find these coal slags yesterday?" Zhang Liang asked.

Yan Bugui nodded, "Yes, it is these coal slags that make me suspect that he stole coal."

Zhang Liang squatted down, looked at the coal slag carefully, then looked up and asked Liu Guangfu, "Brother Liu, did you see any suspicious people yesterday?"

Liu Guangfu shook his head and said, "I was just passing by yesterday and didn't see anything. He said to the others, "Let's do this."

Although Yan Bugui was dissatisfied, "Zhang Liang,"
