Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Xu Mingjie shook his head. "I know they are doing this for my own good, but I don't want them to arrange my life for me. I want to choose my own path and pursue my own dreams."

Qin Huairu listened silently. She understood Xu Mingjie's feelings and felt embarrassed. She knew that Xu Mingjie was a man with a firm dream and would not easily change his original intention.

"Maybe you should have a good talk with them and let them hear your ideas." Qin Huairu said softly, "Sometimes, communication is the best way to solve problems."

Xu Mingjie pondered for a moment and nodded. "Maybe you are right, I should give it a try."

Qin Huairu encouraged him with a smile, "Yes, believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to find a way to solve the problem."

Xu Mingjie felt Qin Huairu's support and his mood gradually improved. He knew that no matter what difficulties he encountered, there would always be someone to support him.

The two talked for a long time, and Xu Mingjie felt much more cheerful. He stood up and said to Qin Huairu, "Thank you, Sister Qin, I think I have some ideas now."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "You're welcome, Xu Mingjie, as long as you are happy."

Mother Qin hurried home, feeling uneasy. After hearing what Xu Mingjie said, she was filled with conflict and worry. She knew that the conflict in the family had reached an irreconcilable point, and she had to take action.

She knocked on the door of Yu Li's mother's house, feeling a little nervous. The door opened, and Yu Li's mother looked at her in surprise and asked, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?"

Mother Qin took a deep breath and said in a firm tone: "I came to talk to you about Xu Mingjie and Yan Jiedi."

Yu Li's mother frowned slightly and motioned for Qin's mother to come in. They walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. The atmosphere was a little solemn.

Jia Xiaoying took out the sandwich she made herself and handed it to Xu Mingjie.

"Brother Mingjie, try the sandwich I made. How does it taste?" Jia Xiaoying asked with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Well, it's good and tastes great. Your cooking skills are really great." Xu Mingjie praised and took a bite of the sandwich. It was indeed delicious.

Everyone ate and chatted, talking about everything and sharing the little things in life. Xu Mingjie suddenly found that Jia Shifa was actually a very interesting person. He had many interesting stories and insights, but he didn't talk much. Niu Tinggui was a humorous person who always made everyone laugh. Jia Xiaoying was smart and clever, and she would say something witty from time to time, which made everyone look at her with new eyes.

This picnic deepened the relationship between Xu Mingjie and Jia Shifa's family. They spent a pleasant weekend together, and when Xu Mingjie returned to the courtyard, his heart was filled with warmth and happiness.

When he got home, his mother Wang Xiujuan was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Xu Mingjie coming back, she asked, "Xiaojie, how was your day?"

"Mom, we had a great time today. Jia Shifa's family was very welcoming. We went to the suburbs for a picnic and ate a lot of delicious food." Xu Mingjie said excitedly with a happy smile on his face.

"That's good. It's time for you to relax. You work so hard every day." Mother Wang Xiujuan said gently, her eyes full of love.

Life in the courtyard continued as usual. Xu Mingjie found a balance in his busy work, and the friendship of Jia Shifa's family added a lot of color to his ordinary days. Xu Mingjie gradually integrated into Jia Shifa's circle and shared the joys and sorrows of life with them.

It was a sunny day, and the courtyard of the quadrangle was filled with the sound of birds chirping. Xu Mingjie was repairing a bicycle in the yard, and his mother Wang Xiujuan was mending clothes on a stone bench next to him. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Xu Mingjie looked up and saw Jia Shifa and Jia Xiaoying walking in.

"Brother Shifa, Xiaoying, why are you here?" Xu Mingjie put down the tools in his hands and walked over with a smile.

"Mingjie, I brought Xiaoying to see you today and I also want to talk to you." Jia Shifa said with a smile, and Jia Xiaoying followed her father with a smile.

"Come in and sit down, don't stand at the door." Wang Xiujuan greeted, her eyes full of welcome.

Everyone sat on the stone benches in the yard. Xu Mingjie brought tea and Jia Shifa casually took out a cloth bag from his pocket, which contained several neatly folded newspapers.

"Mingjie, I know you have been very busy in the factory recently, and I have not been idle these days either. I happen to have a new project and I would like to discuss it with you." As Jia Shifa spoke, he spread out a newspaper that contained the latest information and design drawings about mechanical equipment.

"Oh? What project is it?" Xu Mingjie asked curiously, picking up a design drawing and looking at it carefully.

"It's about the design of a new machine in our factory. I would like to hear your opinion." Jia Shifa said, with anticipation in his eyes.

Xu Mingjie looked through the design drawings carefully, frowning slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This design is quite creative, but there are a few areas that need improvement, especially the transmission device, which should be strengthened, otherwise there may be wear and tear problems."

"Yeah, I thought so too, so I wanted to discuss with you to see if there is a better solution." Jia Shifa nodded with an approving look.

"We can add a buffer device here to reduce the chance of wear, and we can also add a lubrication system at this position." Xu Mingjie pointed to several key parts on the design drawing and explained his ideas in detail.

Jia Shifa listened attentively, nodding from time to time, and the two of them discussed back and forth, and time passed quickly without them noticing. Jia Xiaoying sat quietly at the side, looking up at the clouds in the sky from time to time, with a peaceful smile on her face.

"Mingjie, you are indeed a technical expert. These suggestions are really great." Jia Shifa said happily, patting Xu Mingjie on the shoulder.

"No, no, Brother Shifa, you have some great ideas too. We will definitely be able to do this project well." Xu Mingjie said modestly with a confident smile on his face.

"By the way, Brother Mingjie, we brought some snacks today. Let's try them together." Jia Xiaoying suddenly stood up, took out a few packets of snacks wrapped in oil paper from the basket, and placed them on the stone table.

"Oh, did you make all these by yourselves? That's so thoughtful." Wang Xiujuan said happily with a gratified smile on her face.

"Yes, Xiaoying and I made it together. She is quite skilled." Jia Shifa said with a smile, his eyes full of love for his daughter.

Everyone sat together, enjoying the delicious snacks and chatting about interesting things under the sun.
