Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Xu Mingjie looked at the starry sky and said softly, "I'm thinking about work. There are some new challenges, but I think it's quite interesting."

Qingmei nodded: "You can do it, I believe in you."

The two chatted under the starry sky, sharing each other's thoughts and dreams. As the night deepened, the courtyard gradually became quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs and the sound of trains passing in the distance.

Xu Mingjie feels extremely satisfied. Although his life is not rich, he has family, friends and dreams, which is enough for him. He knows that there will be countless challenges and difficulties in the future, but he is never afraid, because he believes that as long as he works hard, he will be able to realize his dream.

The next day, Xu Mingjie got up early again and started a new day. He knew that the road ahead was still full of unknowns, but he was ready to face everything. Life in the courtyard continued, and everyone had their own story, and each story slowly unfolded in this small world.

As time goes by and seasons change, everyone in the courtyard changes quietly. Xu Mingjie's father, Old Master Xu, is getting old, and his mother, Liu, is also beginning to have white hair on her temples, but she still gets up early every day, does housework, and takes care of the family's daily life.

Xu Mingjie's work became increasingly busy and his scientific research tasks became increasingly heavy, but he always maintained his love for life and hope for the future. He knew that he was shouldering the expectations of his family and the future of the country. Every day, he would walk around the courtyard of the quadrangle, looking at the familiar plants and trees, and he felt extremely at ease and satisfied.

On a summer night, the courtyard was particularly cool. Xu Mingjie sat at the stone table as usual, holding a thick book in his hands and reading carefully. The rustling sound of the pages was particularly clear in the quiet night. At this time, Lin Qingmei came over with a cup of hot tea and said softly, "Mingjie, have a cup of tea, don't tire yourself out."

Xu Mingjie looked up and smiled, "Thank you, Qingmei."

Qingmei sat opposite him, looking at him quietly. She knew that Xu Mingjie was under a lot of pressure at work, but he never complained and always worked hard silently. She was full of admiration and love for him, but she never said it out loud. She liked such nights, liked to sit quietly with Xu Mingjie, even if they didn't talk, she felt very at ease.

The moonlight shines through the branches of the locust tree into the courtyard, and the courtyard looks particularly peaceful and beautiful in the night. Xu Mingjie looks at Qingmei and feels extremely warm in his heart. He knows that this feeling has taken deep root in his heart and cannot be separated.

Life went on like a stream, and Xu Mingjie gradually emerged in his work. His efforts and talents were recognized by his leaders and colleagues. The neighbors in the courtyard were also proud of him. Every time they saw him, they would give him a thumbs up and say, "Mingjie, well done, you have brought honor to our courtyard!"

Xu Mingjie always smiled modestly: "Thank you everyone, it's what I should do."

The days in the courtyard passed day by day, and Xu Mingjie, his family and friends wrote their own stories in this small world.

Xu Mingjie's life gradually got back on track, and his days in the courtyard were peaceful and fulfilling. One day, he received a message from his workplace: his boss arranged for him to host a new project, and for this purpose, he was asked to invite some senior people in the industry to his home to exchange experiences. Although Xu Mingjie didn't talk much, he was thoughtful and soon thought of Jia Shifa. Mr. Jia was a well-known expert in the industry, and he was highly respected. If he could be invited, it would be of great help to the new project.

After returning home, Xu Mingjie told his mother, Mrs. Liu, about this matter. Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Okay, this is a good thing. Let mom arrange the dinner. Although our family is not rich, we have a courtyard house after all, and we can't lose our manners."

Xu Mingjie nodded, grateful for his mother's support. He knew that his mother had always supported his work and attached great importance to hospitality at home.

That evening, Xu Mingjie went to visit Jia Shifa. Jia Shifa lived in a small alley not far from the courtyard. There were several crape myrtles planted at the door. The petals fell in the wind, which looked particularly beautiful. Xu Mingjie stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of Jia's house.

"Who is it?" An old but powerful voice came from behind the door.

"Mr. Jia, it's me, Xu Mingjie." Xu Mingjie answered politely.

After a while, the door opened and Jia Shifa stood at the door. He was over 60 years old, with gray hair, vigorous spirit and wisdom in his eyes. Seeing Xu Mingjie, Jia Shifa smiled and said, "It's Xiao Xu. Come in."

Xu Mingjie walked into the house and saw that it was simple and warm. There were several landscape paintings hanging on the wall and the bookshelves were full of books, which gave it a very cultural atmosphere.

"Mr. Jia, I'm here today to ask you for a favor." Xu Mingjie said straight to the point.

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me." Jia Shifa picked up the teacup and motioned Xu Mingjie to sit down.

"It's like this. Our unit has a new project recently, and I'm in charge of it. My leader suggested that I invite a few seniors in the industry to my home to exchange experiences. I thought of you, and I hope you can come." Xu Mingjie said sincerely.

Jia Shifa thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'm happy to help you young people."

Xu Mingjie was delighted and said quickly, "That's great, Mr. Jia, it's great that you can come."

Jia Shifa smiled and waved his hand: "However, I have a small request, I hope you don't mind."

"You go ahead." Xu Mingjie replied respectfully.

"My Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui have always wanted to meet you, a young and promising man. How about I take them with me?" Jia Shifa said with a smile.

After hearing this, Xu Mingjie quickly agreed: "Of course, it is our honor that you can bring them along."

Jia Shifa nodded: "Then it's settled. When?"

"The day after tomorrow evening, at seven o'clock, is that okay with you?" Xu Mingjie asked.

"No problem, see you the day after tomorrow night." Jia Shifa answered readily.

Xu Mingjie was grateful, and after saying goodbye to Jia Shifa, he quickly returned to the courtyard and told his mother Liu the good news. After hearing this, Liu hurriedly began to prepare the ingredients for the dinner. She knew that this banquet was very important and could not be sloppy.

The night after tomorrow arrived quickly. Xu Mingjie cleaned up his room early and changed into neat clothes, looking particularly energetic. His mother Liu had also prepared a sumptuous dinner with rich dishes, delicious and colorful. The yard was filled with the tempting aroma of food, and the children from the surrounding neighborhoods couldn't help but lie on the wall to watch the fun.
