Chen Rufeng is a young worker who has just graduated from a technical school and entered a state-owned factory. He is tall and always has a serious expression on his face, giving people a sense of authority without anger. In sharp contrast to him is He Yuzhu, an optimistic and cheerful middle-aged man, who is affectionately called "Shazhu". Shazhu works in a nearby canteen and is a man with outstanding cooking skills, but his warm heart and sometimes informal personality often get him into various troubles.

That evening, Chen Rufeng had just returned from get off work at the factory and saw Sha Zhu and several children playing in the yard. The children surrounded Sha Zhu, laughing constantly, while Sha Zhu teased them with a wooden stick. The scene was very lively.

Chen Rufeng frowned, walked straight towards Sha Zhu, and said coldly: "Sha Zhu, can't you just behave yourself? Every day when I come back I see you making trouble here."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hey, Rufeng, relax. Children also need entertainment, I am also serving everyone."

Chen Rufeng looked at Sha Zhu with dissatisfaction, "Serving? You will only distract them from their studies. We are all children of workers, we should behave properly."

Sha Zhu spread his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Everyone go away and play tomorrow." He waved to the children. Although the children were reluctant, they still left obediently.

Chen Rufeng turned and walked towards his room, but he was becoming more and more disgusted with Sha Zhu's behavior. Sha Zhu's casual style was simply a provocation to his serious and rigorous attitude towards life. He secretly decided that he must find an opportunity to let Sha Zhu understand that life is not a joke.

A few days later, one night, a quarrel suddenly broke out in the courtyard. Chen Rufeng came out of the house and found that it was Sha Zhu and Auntie Li in the courtyard who were arguing. Auntie Li accused Sha Zhu of stealing several eggs she had placed in the kitchen, while Sha Zhu innocently defended himself by saying that he had not touched them at all.

"I didn't steal the eggs!" Sha Zhu shouted, "When did I ever steal your things? You are wronging me!"

Aunt Li was so angry that her face turned red. "You live in the cafeteria. Who else would go into the kitchen besides you? You usually take food for the children. This time it must be you!"

Chen Rufeng watched coldly from the side. He walked up and said calmly, "Shazhu, since Aunt Li said so, you should return the eggs. We are all neighbors in the same yard. There is no need to make such an ugly scene."

Sha Zhu's eyes widened, "Ru Feng, you don't believe me either? I really didn't take her eggs!"

Chen Rufeng shook his head. "The facts are before us. We can't accuse you out of nothing. If you didn't take it, then go and prove it to everyone."

Sha Zhu sighed helplessly, and finally agreed to prove his innocence. He decided to go to the canteen administrator to check the accounts to prove that he did not take the eggs. However, things were not that simple. As soon as Sha Zhu arrived at the canteen, he was told that there were indeed a few eggs missing from the accounts, which put him in a deeper predicament.

At this time, people in the courtyard began to discuss. Some people thought that Sha Zhu was usually helpful and should not be doubted; others thought that Sha Zhu usually gave food to the children and this time he might have taken the eggs. The argument became louder and louder, and the whole courtyard was involved in the storm.

Chen Rufeng stood aside and calmly observed all this. He had already made a plan in mind. This incident was an opportunity to make Sha Zhu understand that he had to be responsible for every action in life. He decided to make a big fuss so that Sha Zhu would truly realize his mistake.

The next morning, Chen Rufeng went to the police station to report the incident. The police soon arrived at the courtyard and began investigating the "egg theft case". Sha Zhu seemed a little nervous when facing the police's questioning, but he insisted that he did not steal the eggs. The police conducted a detailed questioning and checked the canteen's account records. After some investigation, it was finally discovered that the canteen's administrator had tampered with the accounts, and the eggs were not missing, but were embezzled by the administrator.

After the truth came out, Sha Zhu finally cleared his name. But this incident hit him hard, and he began to reflect on his behavior and lifestyle. Chen Rufeng looked at Sha Zhu's lonely back, and his heart was a little complicated. He didn't really want to hurt Sha Zhu, but just hoped that he could change those careless habits.

However, this incident caused an uproar in the courtyard. People had mixed opinions on Chen Rufeng's behavior. Some people thought he was right and made Sha Zhu realize his mistakes; others thought he was too harsh and unkind. Chen Rufeng didn't care about other people's opinions. He just wanted to make Sha Zhu understand in his own way that every action in life needs to be responsible.

As time went by, life in the courtyard gradually returned to normal. But this incident left a deep impression on everyone, and also made the relationship between Sha Zhu and Chen Rufeng delicate. Sha Zhu began to have a grudge against Chen Rufeng, while Chen Rufeng demanded more strictly of himself, trying not to let others catch his handle.

However, fate is always full of drama. One day a few months later, there was a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard. Chen Rufeng opened the door and found that it was Sha Zhu standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.

"Rufeng, come and help me!" Sha Zhu said breathlessly, "My wife is sick and needs to be taken to the hospital, but there is no car now, what should I do?"

Chen Rufeng was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Without saying anything, he immediately rushed into the house and picked up the bicycle key, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Sha Zhu nodded gratefully, and the two quickly rode their bicycles and rushed towards the hospital. Along the way, Sha Zhu held Chen Rufeng's shoulders tightly, his heart full of gratitude and apology. He knew that although he and Chen Rufeng had many conflicts, Chen Rufeng was still willing to lend a hand at the critical moment.

At the hospital, Sha Zhu's wife received timely treatment and was finally out of danger. Sha Zhu held Chen Rufeng's hand, his eyes full of gratitude, "Rufeng, thank you so much. Without you, I really don't know what I would do."

Chen Rufeng patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. We're neighbors, it's only natural. If you have any troubles in the future, come to me."

Sha Zhu nodded heavily, and his attitude towards Chen Rufeng changed. Although the two had completely different personalities, in this incident, Sha Zhu saw the warm side of Chen Rufeng besides his strictness.

Since then, the relationship between Sha Zhu and Chen Rufeng has gradually eased, and the two began to understand and respect each other. The courtyard has returned to its former tranquility, but this time
