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

In the evening, the yard returned to peace and everyone gathered together to chat.

“Zhang Liang, Hai Zhong, thank you so much today.” Qin Huairu brought a cup of tea and said, “You’re welcome,” Zhang Liang smiled.

"Yes, and if you have any problems in the future, feel free to contact us." Liu Haizhong also said.

"Okay, I understand." Qin Huairu nodded with a relaxed smile on her face.

As the night deepened, the lights in the courtyard gradually went out, and only a few dim street lamps were still silently guarding this small world. Thinking about what happened today, he felt a little emotional. He knew that life would not always be peaceful, but as long as everyone worked together, there would be no obstacles that could not be overcome. Zhang Liang and Liu Haizhong went to work together again, and talked about things in the factory on the way.

"Zhang Liang, what do you think of the recent production situation in the factory? Everyone's work efficiency has improved a lot. "However, there are still some places where the new machines need to be adjusted. Recently, there have been minor failures. I also discovered that there were several times when production was almost delayed. "We have to find a way to solve these problems. Haizhong, didn't we say yesterday that we would go to find Master Li? He is more familiar with these machines and may be able to help us.

"Good idea. Master Li is experienced and will definitely have a solution." Liu Haizhong agreed.

The two came to the factory and found Master Li who was busy. Master Li saw them and greeted them warmly: "Zhang Liang, Haizhong, you are here."

"Master Li, we have some questions for you," Zhang Liang said. "Recently, the new machines in the factory have been experiencing minor glitches, which has affected production. We would like to hear your advice."

"Oh? What's wrong with the new machine?" Master Li put down the work in his hands and asked seriously.

“The main problem is that the machine tends to overheat in high temperature environments, and some parts wear out quickly.

Master Li nodded. "This is indeed a problem. Let me see the fault record first, and then I will find the cause for you."

"Thank you, Master Li. We'll get it right away," said Zhang Liang.

The two of them quickly brought the fault record. Master Li looked through it carefully for a while and frowned slightly.

"These problems are mainly because the design of the machine is not suitable for the production environment of our factory." Master Li said, "However, we can improve it through some adjustments. Do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Liang asked.

"First, we can add some heat dissipation devices to the machine to reduce the impact of high temperature on the machine. "Second, some parts that are prone to wear can be replaced with wear-resistant materials. "

"These adjustments should not be difficult to implement. We can give it a try," said Liu Haizhong.

"Yes, let's start as soon as possible and see what the effect is." Zhang Liang also agreed.

Under the guidance of Master Li, Zhang Liang and Liu Haizhong led their colleagues to adjust the machine. After some efforts, the performance of the machine was significantly improved and the production efficiency was significantly improved.

"Zhang Liang, Haizhong, you did a great job this time." The factory director praised at a meeting, "The factory's production efficiency has increased a lot. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Zhang Liang said modestly.

"Yes, let's take the factory's production to a higher level. Qin Huairu was playing with the children in the yard and came over with a smile.

"Zhang Liang,

Banggeng is Qin Huairu's son, who is naughty and playful. The evening sun shines on the blue brick floor, adding a touch of warmth to this old yard. Tired but fulfilled. At this time, Qin Huairu is playing with Banggeng in the yard. Banggeng is a naughty child, running around the yard, and Qin Huairu chases him with a smile.

"Banggeng, be careful, don't fall!" Qin Huairu shouted while laughing.

"Mom, I can run fast and I won't fall!" Banggeng smiled brightly, his face full of childish innocence.

"Hey, Sister Huairu, what trouble has Banggeng made today?" Zhang Liang walked over with a smile, and his relaxed tone made Qin Huairu feel relieved.

"Zhang Liang, you're back." Qin Huairu replied with a smile, "He knocked over the neighbor's flower pot again today, and I was just about to teach him a lesson. Come here." Zhang Liang waved his hand, Bang Geng hesitated for a moment, and ran to Zhang Liang. I didn't mean it." Bang Geng lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"I know you didn't mean it, but what if you fall down while running around like this? Also, you should take good care of your neighbors' things, okay?" Zhang Liang said earnestly. "Bang Geng nodded, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Okay, it's good that you know you were wrong. Remember to be more careful next time, otherwise mom will worry." Zhang Liang patted Bang Geng's head and said with a smile.

"Well, I'll remember it." Bang Geng smiled.

Qin Huairu looked at this scene and felt grateful in her heart, "Zhang Liang, you always help me teach Banggeng. Don't say that, Banggeng is a good boy, but sometimes he is too naughty and needs someone to remind him." Zhang Liang said.

At this time, Liu Haizhong also came over and said with a smile: "Bang Geng, what new tricks do you have today?"

"Uncle Haizhong, I didn't make any trouble today. I just accidentally knocked over the flowerpot." Banggeng said a little embarrassedly.

“Then be careful next time and don’t knock things over.

Banggeng nodded and ran back to his mother. Qin Huairu sighed, "This child is always so naughty."

"It's normal for a child to be naughty, what's important is that he can learn from his mistakes.

"Yes, Sister Huairu, Banggeng will definitely become sensible in the future." Liu Haizhong also agreed.

Several people were chatting, "You are the ones chatting here again. The yard is so messy, is there anyone to take care of it? We will take care of everything in the yard, you don't have to worry." Zhang Liang said quickly.

"Hmph, you young people are always so unreliable." Yan Bugui shook his head and walked away.

"Uncle Yan still has such a bad temper." Liu Haizhong said helplessly.

"Yes, but we should try not to make him angry." Zhang Liang smiled.

At this time, he took Zhang Liang's hand and said, "Uncle Zhang Liang, I have a question for you."

"What's the problem? Tell me." Zhang Liang squatted down and looked at Banggeng. "Why is Grandpa Yan always so angry? Does he dislike us?" Banggeng asked, blinking his big eyes.

"No, Grandpa Yan is actually a good man. It's just that he has a lot of things to do and is under a lot of pressure, so his temper is a little impatient." Zhang Liang explained patiently.

"Oh, I see. I will be nicer to Grandpa Yan in the future and not make him angry. It seems that I understand something.

Qin Huairu looked at Zhang Liang and Bang Geng, and felt deeply moved. Zhang Liang was such a good person. Not only was he serious and responsible at work, he was also always so patient and kind to his neighbors.

As night fell, people in the yard went home to rest. Zhang Liang and Liu Haizhong also returned to their rooms to rest.

"I learned a lot from today's events." Liu Haizhong said with emotion, "Zhang Liang, you always handle these things well."

"We are all neighbors, and it is only natural for us to help each other." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"However, I feel more at ease with you around," Liu Haizhong said, "You are always so calm and collected, and you handle things in an orderly manner."

“Don’t praise me so much, the most important thing is that we all work together.

The next morning, the sun shone in the courtyard, and everyone started a new day. Zhang Liang and Liu Haizhong went to work in the factory early again, while Qin Huairu took Banggeng to the market to buy vegetables.

"Mom, can I help you carry the basket?" Banggeng asked obediently.

"Okay, come and help your mother carry the basket today." Qin Huairu smiled and handed Banggeng a small basket.

"Mom, what should we buy?" Banggeng asked excitedly.

“Today we will buy some vegetables and meat and make you your favorite braised pork.

"Great! I like braised pork the best!" Banggeng jumped up happily.

The mother and son chatted and laughed all the way to the market, which was bustling with people. Qin Huairu skillfully selected fresh vegetables and meat, while Bang Geng helped to carry the basket, looking very professional. "I'm here to buy vegetables again today." Aunt Zhang in the market greeted with a smile.

"Yes, Aunt Zhang, bring Banggeng with you today and let him help." Qin Huairu responded.

"Banggeng has become really sensible and is becoming more and more well behaved," Aunt Zhang praised.

"Thank you Aunt Zhang for the compliment. Banggeng has indeed become more sensible." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

After buying vegetables, Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard with Banggeng and happened to meet Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. "What good things did you buy today?" Liu Guangtian asked with a smile.

“I bought some vegetables and meat today and planned to make braised pork for the kids.

"Bang Geng, you helped your mother buy groceries again today. You are such a good boy." Liu Guangfu praised.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu," Bang Geng said happily. "If you need any help, just let me know," Liu Guangtian said.

"Thank you. I feel more at ease with you around." Qin Huairu said gratefully.

In the evening, the aroma of food wafted through the courtyard, the children were playing in the yard, and the adults were busy preparing dinner. Zhang Liang and Liu Haizhong returned to the yard and smelled the aroma in the air.

"Zhang Liang, today's dinner smells so delicious.

"Yes, Sister Huairu's cooking skills are really amazing." Zhang Liang responded.

Qin Huairu heard the voice, came out and said with a smile: "Zhang Liang, Haizhong, thanks to Bang Geng's help today, I bought a lot of good things."

"Banggeng performed well today. I guess we can bring him out to help more often in the future." Zhang Liang praised.

"Yes, Banggeng is becoming more and more sensible." Liu Haizhong also praised.

At dinner time, everyone gathered together, chatting, eating, and having a great time. Banggeng sat next to Zhang Liang, listening to the adults' conversation, occasionally interjecting a few words, looking particularly happy. "We learned a new idiom today. Do you know what 'killing two birds with one stone' means?" Banggeng suddenly asked.

"Kill two birds with one stone? Of course I know." Zhang Liang replied with a smile, "This idiom means to shoot two eagles at the same time with one arrow, which is a metaphor for achieving two goals by doing one thing."
