Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

"Do you know what those secrets are?" Ran Qiuye asked.

The old man nodded. "I know some, but not all. I only know that my grandfather once mentioned an important place. That is the secret of our family."

"Where is that place?" Xu Mingjie asked anxiously.

The old man was silent for a moment, then he said, "That place is on the other side of the mountain, in a very hidden valley. I can take you there."

The next morning, the old man brought Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye to the valley. Deep in the valley, there was indeed a hidden entrance. The old man pointed to the entrance and said, "This is the place my grandfather mentioned."

Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye thanked the old man gratefully, and then walked into the hidden entrance. Behind the entrance was a huge underground cave filled with various ancient artifacts and books.

“These are things our family has protected for many years,” the old man explained as he followed them.

Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye carefully examined the cave and found a lot of materials they had never seen before, which revealed some deeper secrets of their hometown's history.

"These materials are too important, we must protect them well," said Ran Qiuye.

He is full of gratitude and happiness. He knows that there will be many challenges in the future, but as long as he has the support of his family and friends, he will have infinite strength to face everything.

As time went by, life in the courtyard became more colorful. Neighbors were not just ordinary people, but more like a family. During festivals, everyone would gather together to hold various celebrations, and the courtyard was filled with laughter.

On this day, the yard welcomed an important day - the birthday of Xu Mingjie and Li Hong's child Xiao Ming. The yard was decorated early, and ribbons and balloons made the whole yard colorful. Neighbors sent gifts one after another, and children ran and played excitedly in the yard.

"Xiao Ming, happy birthday!" Everyone congratulated him in unison, and a bright smile broke out on Xiao Ming's face.

Li Hong came out with a big cake full of candles. Xiao Ming closed his eyes, put his hands together, made a wish, and then blew out the candles.

"Mingjie, come and cut the cake for the children." Li Hong said to Xu Mingjie with a smile.

Xu Mingjie took the knife, carefully cut off a piece of cake and handed it to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming took the cake and said happily: "Thank you, Dad!"

Xu Mingjie touched Xiao Ming's head, his heart filled with satisfaction and happiness. Looking at the happy faces of the children, he seemed to see the hope and brightness of the future.

As the night deepened, the children gradually quieted down and returned home. Xu Mingjie and Li Hong sat in the yard, enjoying the rare quiet time.

"Mingjie, we have experienced many ups and downs over the years, but I feel that our lives are getting better and better," Li Hong said with emotion.

Xu Mingjie nodded and held his wife's hand: "Yes, Hong. As long as we work together, no matter how many challenges there are in the future, we can face them together."

Li Hong leaned on her husband's shoulder, closed her eyes, and felt the warmth and peace. Xu Mingjie also closed his eyes, quietly enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

As time goes by, life in the courtyard continues. Although life is full of challenges and difficulties, Xu Mingjie and his family and neighbors remain optimistic and resilient. They believe that as long as everyone unites as one, they will be able to create a better future.

Xu Mingjie hurried along the way. When he stood at the door of his house, panting, he suddenly hesitated. The night was getting darker, and the courtyard was quiet. Only the moonlight was shining on the bluestone slabs, emitting a faint light. He looked up at the closed door, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

The words from Ran Qiuye's family echoed in his ears. Something went wrong with the project, and the future of the factory depended on it. As a member of the factory, he knew what this project meant to everyone, but at this moment, facing the pressure and responsibility of his family, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Xu Mingjie stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, finally took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Inside the house, Li Hong was sitting at the table mending clothes, and Xiao Ming was concentrating on doing his homework. Seeing her husband come in, Li Hong immediately showed a warm smile: "Mingjie, you're back. Why are you so late today?"

Xu Mingjie put down the tool bag in his hand, sat down on the chair tiredly, and rubbed his sore shoulders: "Something happened at the factory, which delayed me."

Xiao Ming raised his head and asked with concern: "Dad, are you working overtime again? Are you tired?"

Xu Mingjie smiled and patted his son's head: "Not tired, not tired. Xiaoming, how are you doing with your homework?"

"It's almost done." Xiao Ming nodded, his eyes full of admiration for his father.

Li Hong brought a bowl of hot soup and placed it in front of Xu Mingjie: "Drink some soup to warm your stomach. I know you've been working hard, but you should also take care of your health."

Xu Mingjie took the bowl of soup, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes: "Hong, you are always so considerate, thank you."

Li Hong smiled gently: "We are a family, so why bother to thank me. By the way, everyone in the yard was talking about how the project in the factory is going."

Xu Mingjie took a sip of the hot soup and felt warmer. He pondered for a moment and decided to tell his wife the truth: "The project did encounter some problems, but we are working hard to solve them. I may be busier recently, but I will try to come back as soon as possible."

Li Hong frowned slightly, but soon relaxed: "Mingjie, I believe you can solve these problems. As long as our family works together, we can overcome any difficulties."

Xu Mingjie nodded, and a new fighting spirit ignited in his heart. Just as Li Hong said, as long as everyone works together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.

The next morning, Xu Mingjie got up early again and rushed to the factory. The factory was busy and the machines were roaring. Xu Mingjie and his colleagues continued to study new process flows, constantly adjusting and improving them, striving to find the best solution.

One day at noon, Xu Mingjie and Lao Li were checking equipment in the workshop. Lao Li suddenly stopped and pointed at a machine and said, "Mingjie, the output power of this machine is not stable. Is there something wrong here?"

Xu Mingjie observed it carefully and nodded: "It may be caused by unstable voltage. We need to recheck the circuit to see if there is a short circuit or poor contact."

Lao Li picked up the tools and started to check the machine with Xu Mingjie. They worked meticulously, not missing any details. Sweat flowed down their foreheads, but they ignored it and focused on the work at hand.
