Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

"Have you heard about Xu Mingjie's recent situation and what happened between him and Yan Jiedi?" Qin's mother said straight to the point.

Yu Li's mother nodded, her expression serious. "I've heard something. Are you here to talk to me about this?"

Mother Qin nodded, "Yes, I think we should communicate well and solve this problem as soon as possible. I know that my Xu Mingjie has done a lot of wrong things, but I also hope that you can understand him and give him some opportunities."

Yu Li's mother sighed, "Sister Qin, I understand your worries, but my daughter's future is also what I care about most. I don't want her to get hurt, so I have to think about her."

Life in the courtyard is like a calm river. Although there are no waves, every drop of water contains deep feelings and endless stories. Xu Mingjie and his family live a simple and fulfilling life in this courtyard. However, one day, Xu Mingjie received a special invitation, which caused a little ripple in his life.

Early that morning, Xu Mingjie had just finished his night shift at the factory and pushed open the door of the courtyard exhausted. The fresh air that came in made him a little more awake. His mother, Wang Xiujuan, was busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for the family. His father, Xu Desheng, was sitting in the yard, smoking a pipe and staring at the sky in a daze.

"Xiaojie, you're back. Come and eat something. Mom made you your favorite pancakes." The mother greeted gently.

"Thank you, Mom. I'll go wash my face and be back soon." Xu Mingjie agreed with a smile, walked to the well, and washed away the fatigue on his face with the cool well water.

Not long after he sat down, Xu Mingjie suddenly heard a light knock on the door. He stood up to open the door. Standing outside was a tall, serious-looking middle-aged man, who was his old friend Jia Shifa from the factory.

"Mingjie, good morning." Jia Shifa smiled, with a hint of friendliness in his tone.

"Brother Shifa, why are you here so early? Is there something wrong?" Xu Mingjie asked in surprise.

"It's nothing serious. I just want to invite you to dinner and talk to you about something." Jia Shifa patted Xu Mingjie's shoulder, with a hint of mystery in his eyes.

"Okay, I'm off today, so I'll go to your place." Xu Mingjie agreed readily, his heart full of curiosity.

After breakfast, Xu Mingjie changed into clean clothes, said hello to his parents, and rode his bicycle to Jia Shifa's home. Jia Shifa's family lived in a small courtyard in the city. Although it was not as spacious as a siheyuan, it was also warm and cozy.

When they arrived at Jia Shifa's house, a girl in a floral dress stood at the door with a sweet smile. It was Jia Shifa's daughter Jia Xiaoying. When she saw Xu Mingjie, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Mingjie, come in quickly. My dad has been waiting for you for a long time." Jia Xiaoying greeted him warmly.

"Okay, Xiaoying, thank you." Xu Mingjie responded with a smile and walked into the yard.

In the yard, Jia Shifa was talking to a sturdy young man. When he saw Xu Mingjie coming in, he immediately came up to him.

"Mingjie, come here, let me introduce you. This is Niu Tinggui, a friend of mine and also a worker in our factory." Jia Shifa said, pointing at the young man.

"Hello, Tinggui." Xu Mingjie stretched out his hand and shook hands with Niu Tinggui.

"Hello, Brother Mingjie, I've heard about you from Brother Shifa a long time ago. Today I finally get to see you in person." Niu Tinggui said with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Come on, everyone sit down. Let's not talk about work today. Let's just have a good meal and chat about family matters." Jia Shifa warmly invited everyone to sit down, while Jia Xiaoying was busy serving plates of delicious dishes.

The aroma of the dishes filled the entire courtyard, and Xu Mingjie felt a long-lost sense of relaxation. At the dinner table, everyone was chatting happily. Jia Shifa kept introducing some of his friends and interesting stories to Xu Mingjie, and Niu Tinggui would occasionally interject a few humorous remarks, making everyone laugh.

"Mingjie, actually I invited you here today not only for dinner, but also because I want to discuss something with you." Jia Shifa suddenly said seriously.

"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me." Xu Mingjie asked curiously.

"It's like this. Our factory recently received a large order and we need to work overtime to rush the work. I know you have good skills, so I would like to ask you to help me and work overtime. Of course, the compensation will not be small." Jia Shifa said, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Working overtime? No problem. I'm free these days." Xu Mingjie agreed readily. He knew that this was Jia Shifa's trust in him and he couldn't let him down.

"That's great, Mingjie, you are indeed a straightforward person!" Jia Shifa patted Xu Mingjie's shoulder happily.

In the following days, Xu Mingjie, Jia Shifa and Niu Tinggui worked overtime in the factory. They were busy in the workshop with roaring machines, their clothes were soaked with sweat, but everyone's face was filled with the joy of labor. Especially Xu Mingjie, he used his skilled technology and endless patience to complete one difficult task after another, and won unanimous praise from everyone.

Every night when Xu Mingjie dragged his tired body back to the courtyard and saw his family sleeping, his heart was filled with warmth and strength. He knew that everything he did was for this family, so that his family could live a better life.

During the days in the courtyard, Xu Mingjie gradually discovered that Jia Shifa and his family also had a deep affection. Although Jia Shifa didn't talk much, he was full of love for his family. Jia Xiaoying was a smart and sensible girl who often helped her father with housework and took care of the small animals at home. Niu Tinggui was like an older brother, often playing with Jia Xiaoying, and the two had a very close relationship.

One evening, Xu Mingjie finished his busy work and returned to Jia Shifa's house for dinner. At the dinner table, everyone was chatting happily, and suddenly Jia Xiaoying made an interesting suggestion.

"Brother Mingjie, tomorrow is the weekend. Why don't we go for a picnic outside and relax?" Jia Xiaoying's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Okay, that's a good idea. I also want to relax." Xu Mingjie agreed with a smile. He also felt that he and his family should relax.

The next morning, Xu Mingjie, Jia Shifa, Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui set out together, riding bicycles, carrying food and drinks, and heading towards the suburbs. Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and Xu Mingjie felt the long-lost relaxation and happiness.

When they arrived in the suburbs, they found a scenic meadow, spread out their blankets, laid out the food, and started their pleasant picnic.
