Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Chapter 144 was rewritten to 63

Liu Guangqi's inner struggle was like a war without gunpowder. Every night, he lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about his future. The tranquility of the courtyard and the majesty of Liu Haizhong and the second uncle were like two mountains pressing on his chest, making him breathless.

One evening, Liu Guangqi was walking alone in the alley, thinking about how to express his thoughts to his family. He knew that once he expressed his true feelings, it would go against the expectations of Liu Haizhong and his second uncle.

"Guangqi, why are you still wandering around here so late?" A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. It was his neighbor Zhang Bo, a kind old man.

Liu Guangqi forced a smile: "Uncle Zhang, I'm just walking around and thinking about things."

Zhang Bo looked at him, as if he could see through his thoughts: "Are you worried about something? You have been smart since you were young, but you worry too much."

Liu Guangqi hesitated for a moment, but decided to confide in Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, I...I want to leave the courtyard and go out to try my luck."

Zhang Bo did not show any surprise, but nodded: "It's a good thing for young people to have dreams. Have you decided?"

Liu Guangqi took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhang, I have made up my mind. I don't want to live my whole life in the expectations of others."

Uncle Zhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, kid. The world outside is huge, you should go and see it."

With Zhang Bo's understanding and support, Liu Guangqi became more determined. He began to secretly prepare for the plan of leaving the courtyard, carefully avoiding his parents' notice.

However, the day before he was about to leave, his mother accidentally discovered his train ticket and some notes filled with plans while tidying up his room.

"Guangqi, what is this?" Mother held the train ticket and the note, her eyes full of confusion.

Liu Guangqi knew that this moment had finally come, and he could no longer hide it: "Mom, I... I bought a train ticket, I want to go out and take a look."

There was a flash of surprise in the mother's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Have you decided? The world outside is very complicated. You must be prepared."

Liu Guangqi nodded: "Mom, I'm ready. I'll be careful."

The mother was silent for a while, then said: "Well, since you have made up your mind, we support you. But you must remember that no matter where you go, this will always be your home."

With his mother's support, Liu Guangqi was filled with gratitude. He knew that leaving the Siheyuan did not mean a complete break with the past, but gave himself a chance to pursue true freedom and dreams.

The next morning, Liu Guangqi packed his bag and said goodbye to his parents and the courtyard. He walked through the familiar alleys, feeling both reluctant and expectant. When he walked out of the gate of the courtyard, the sun shone on his face, lighting up the way forward.

In the new city, Liu Guangqi's life was full of challenges and opportunities. He found a job in a design company. Although the work was stressful, he enjoyed it. With his creativity and enthusiasm, he gradually gained a foothold in the company.

"Guangqi, your design plan is very creative. We have decided to adopt your plan." The company boss spoke highly of his work.

Liu Guangqi felt very proud: "Thank you for your recognition, I will continue to work hard."

At the same time, Liu Haizhong and the second uncle in the courtyard are also experiencing their own changes. They begin to realize that young people have their own ideas and pursuits, and they cannot force everyone to live according to their wishes.

"Liu Haizhong, we should respect Guangqi's choice. He is a child with dreams and we should support him." The second uncle said during a casual chat.

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Yes, Second Uncle, we all hope that he can live well."

As time went by, Liu Guangqi's life in the new city became more and more fulfilling. Not only did he achieve success in his work, he also made many new friends. They shared life together and explored the unknown together.

"Guangqi, how are you doing recently? Is your work going well?" my good friend Xiao Li asked on the phone.

Liu Guangqi smiled and said, "Xiao Li, I am living well here and my work is going well. How about you?"

Xiao Li replied: "I'm not bad either. I heard that you are doing well in your new city. I'm really happy for you."

Liu Guangqi said with emotion: "Yes, although I left the Siheyuan, I found my own direction. I believe that as long as we bravely pursue our dreams, we will definitely find our own sky."

Liu Guangqi's life in the new city gradually got on track, and his design talent was recognized by the company's leaders and colleagues. However, he was not satisfied with this, as he knew that only by continuous learning and innovation could he gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive industry.

One day, Liu Guangqi presented his latest design to the team in the company's conference room. His creativity and attention to detail won applause from everyone present.

"Guangqi, your designs are amazing. You always bring us surprises." Colleague Xiao Wang exclaimed.

Liu Guangqi smiled and responded: "Thank you, Xiao Wang. I just want to do my best in every job."

The company leaders also spoke highly of his work: "Guangqi, your performance is excellent, and we are optimistic about your development prospects."

With the recognition and encouragement, Liu Guangqi became more determined to develop in the design field. He began to use his spare time to participate in various trainings and seminars to continuously improve his professional skills.

At the same time, at home in the courtyard, Liu Guangqi's parents were also following his progress. They learned about their son's achievements in the new city through phone calls and the Internet, and they felt proud but also a little worried.

"My dear, Guangqi is doing a good job over there. We should be happy for him." The mother said to the father on the phone.

The father nodded: "Yes, he has always been a child with his own ideas. But we still have to pay more attention to him. After all, it is not easy for him to be alone outside."

At a family gathering, Liu Guangqi's sister Xiaomei also mentioned him: "Mom and Dad, my brother is living well in the new city. We should support his choice."

After listening to Xiaomei's words, the parents became more determined to support Liu Guangqi.

In the new city, Liu Guangqi did not forget his family. Whenever it was late at night, he would always think of the little things in the courtyard and the smiling faces of his family.

"Mom, everything is fine here, you don't have to worry." Liu Guangqi said to his mother on the phone.

Listening to her son's voice on the other end of the phone, the mother felt comforted and distressed: "Guangqi, we are proud of you. Take good care of yourself outside and remember to come home often."

Liu Guangqi answered firmly: "I will, Mom, when I am stable, I will come back to see you."

As time went by, Liu Guangqi's life in the new city became more and more colorful. Not only did he achieve more in his work, he also made many new friends, with whom he discussed design and shared life.

"Guangqi, your design concept is very unique. We should cooperate more." An industry colleague said to Liu Guangqi at an exchange meeting.

Liu Guangqi responded with a smile: "Thank you very much, I also look forward to working with you."

By chance, Liu Guangqi received a large-scale design project, which was not only of great significance to his career, but also provided him with a stage to showcase his talents.

"Guangqi, we have decided to hand this project over to you. We believe in your ability." The project leader said to Liu Guangqi.

Liu Guangqi felt excited and nervous: "Thank you for your trust, I will do my best."

In the following days, Liu Guangqi devoted himself to the project. Together with his team members, he overcame one difficulty after another and finally completed an amazing design work.

"Guangqi, your design is perfect. You have exceeded our expectations once again." The project leader praised Liu Guangqi's work.

Liu Guangqi and his team members looked at each other and smiled. Their efforts finally paid off.

Qin Huairu's tailoring skills have become well-known in the community, and her studio has become a hot spot for cultural exchange. As the seasons change, the community is about to usher in a special festival celebration, and Qin Huairu thinks this is a great opportunity to showcase her tailoring skills.

At the preparatory meeting, Qin Huairu put forward her idea: "Community festivals are a good opportunity for us to showcase our culture and craftsmanship. I want to let residents understand this art more intuitively by displaying tailoring works and on-site demonstrations."

After hearing this, the community director's eyes sparkled with approval: "Qin Huairu, your tailoring skills are the pride of our community. I believe that through your display, the festival celebrations will be more colorful."

With the support of the community director, Qin Huairu began to carefully prepare for the festival's tailoring show. She planned to display a series of exquisite clothing and accessories, including traditional cheongsams, modern-style shirts, and handmade fabric dolls.

On the day of the festival, the Siheyuan community was decorated with lights and was filled with joy. Qin Huairu's display area attracted many residents to stop and watch. Her clothing works won unanimous praise from everyone for their exquisite craftsmanship and unique design.

"Qin Huairu, this cheongsam is so beautiful. How did you make it?" a resident asked curiously.

Qin Huairu patiently explained: "This cheongsam adopts traditional cutting and sewing techniques. I also added some modern elements, such as the design of the neckline, to make it more in line with modern aesthetics."

On the other side of the exhibition area, Qin Huairu also set up a live demonstration session. She sat in front of the sewing machine and explained the basic sewing techniques to the residents watching while operating it.

"Look, this is the basic method of flat sewing, and it is suitable for sewing most fabrics." Qin Huairu explained while demonstrating.

The residents watched with great interest, and some were eager to try it themselves to experience the feeling of sewing.

"Qin Huairu, can I give it a try?" a young resident asked.

"Of course, come, I'll teach you how to operate the sewing machine." Qin Huairu enthusiastically invited him to come forward and try.

As the festival went on, Qin Huairu's display area became one of the most popular places. Residents not only appreciated the exquisite handicrafts, but also had the opportunity to experience the fun of tailoring in person.

"Qin Huairu, your presentation was so successful. We all learned a lot." The community director said to Qin Huairu at the end of the event.

Qin Huairu responded with a smile: "I am very happy to show you the charm of tailoring. I hope this event can inspire more people to be interested in handicrafts."

Qin Huairu's tailoring demonstration at the community festival was a great success, and her influence began to spread to every corner of the community. She realized that this was not only an opportunity to showcase her personal skills, but also an important way to stimulate community cultural vitality and promote neighborhood exchanges.

Before the afterglow of the celebration faded, Qin Huairu decided to strike while the iron was hot and organize a community tailoring workshop. She hoped that through this platform, residents could not only appreciate exquisite handicrafts, but also make their own works.

"Master Wang, I want to open a tailoring workshop in the community center to teach everyone some basic sewing skills. What do you think?" Qin Huairu sought advice from Master Wang.

After hearing this, Master Wang's eyes sparkled with approval: "This is a very good idea, Qin Huairu. I believe your skills and enthusiasm will surely inspire more people's interest."

With the support of Master Wang, Qin Huairu began to prepare for the workshop. She carefully selected teaching materials and tools suitable for beginners and developed a detailed teaching plan.

The news of the workshop quickly spread in the community, and many residents showed great interest. At the first class, Qin Huairu warmly welcomed every participant.

"Welcome everyone to our tailoring workshop. Today, we will start with the most basic sewing skills, such as how to thread a needle correctly and how to use a sewing machine," Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Residents gathered around the workbench, listening carefully to Qin Huairu's explanation of each step. Some of them couldn't wait to start trying to sew small items themselves.

"Teacher Qin, do you think I am sewing it correctly?" A young student asked Qin Huairu for advice while holding his work.

Qin Huairu checked his stitches and said encouragingly, "Well done, as long as you pay attention to keeping the stitches even, you will become more and more proficient."

As the course progressed, Qin Huairu began to teach more complex techniques, such as making simple clothing and accessories. The residents became more and more enthusiastic about learning and began to try to make their own works.

"Qin Huairu, I made a small apron for my granddaughter and she likes it very much." An old grandmother happily showed her work to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu looked at the apron with appreciation: "You did a great job. The apron is both practical and beautiful. Your granddaughter will definitely like to wear it to cook."

At the end of the course, the residents all said they had gained a lot. They thanked Qin Huairu for his patient teaching and looked forward to the next course.

"Qin Huairu, your course is so useful. Now I can mend my clothes by myself and even try to make some new clothes." A middle-aged woman said gratefully.

Qin Huairu felt very satisfied: "I am very happy to see your progress and achievements. It is my greatest wish that the tailoring skills can be passed on like this."
