After several hours of hard work in the cabin, they finally sorted out some important clues, which revealed some unknown secrets in the history of their hometown and mentioned the names of some important people.

"We have never heard of these names before. Maybe they are the key." Ran Qiuye said, pointing to the names in the document.

"Yes, we need to find the descendants of these people and see if they know more." Xu Mingjie thought.

In the next few days, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye began to look for the descendants of those important people. They visited many places, asked many people, and finally found the grandson of one of them.

The old man was about 60 years old and lived in a farmhouse outside the town. When he heard about their purpose, he invited them into the house.

"Are you here to investigate the history of our family?" the old man asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Yes, we found some information about your grandfather and would like to know more." Xu Mingjie replied politely.

The old man sighed, "My grandfather's affairs are complicated, and he has been protecting some secrets all his life."

"Mingjie, there is a loose joint here, which may be the source of the problem." Lao Li suddenly said.

Xu Mingjie leaned over to take a look and nodded, "Yes, it seems that the problem lies here. Let's tighten this joint again and test it again."

The two men repaired the joint together and restarted the machine. The output power finally stabilized. Old Li breathed a sigh of relief and patted Xu Mingjie on the shoulder: "Mingjie, you are such a careful person. With you here, we feel much more at ease."

Xu Mingjie smiled and said, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. It can't be done by just one person."

As time went by, the efforts of Xu Mingjie and his colleagues finally paid off. The project progressed smoothly and production efficiency was greatly improved. The factory leaders were very satisfied with their performance and gave them high praise.

On a weekend morning, the courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Neighbors gathered in the yard to hold a small celebration to celebrate the smooth progress of the project.

"Mingjie, come here, we need your help here." Aunt Liu called to Xu Mingjie who was moving a table.

Xu Mingjie put down his work and went over to help put the tables and chairs in place, while Li Hong was busy preparing food, and the children were chasing and playing in the yard, laughing constantly.

"Today is such a good day." Lao Zhang came over with a pot of wine and handed Xu Mingjie a glass. "Mingjie, we have to celebrate."

Xu Mingjie took the glass and clinked glasses with everyone, with a satisfied smile on his face: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Each of us should be proud of this."

The celebration lasted until the evening, and the courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere. As the night deepened, the neighbors gradually left. Xu Mingjie and Li Hong finished cleaning the yard and sat under the old locust tree, enjoying this rare quiet time.

"Mingjie, everyone is very happy today, are you too?" Li Hong leaned on her husband's shoulder and asked softly.

Xu Mingjie nodded, looking deeply into the night sky: "Yes, Hong. Seeing everyone's smiling faces makes all the hard work worth it."

Li Hong held her husband's hand and said gently, "Mingjie, we will definitely get better and better."

Xu Mingjie felt the warmth of his wife, and his heart was filled with hope and confidence for the future. No matter how bumpy the road ahead was, he was willing to go on with his family and friends.

As the days go by in a busy and fulfilling way, life in the courtyard is also changing. The friendship between neighbors is getting deeper and deeper, and everyone is striving for a common goal. In this era full of hope and struggle, Xu Mingjie and his courtyard welcome new dawns one after another.

One evening, Xu Mingjie and several co-workers were busy in the workshop when they suddenly received news that the factory's technical director was coming to inspect the work. Everyone immediately became nervous and began to speed up the arrangement and inspection of equipment to ensure that everything was in the best condition.

"Mingjie, the director is coming, you have to pay more attention." Lao Li reminded.

Xu Mingjie nodded, feeling a little nervous: "Don't worry, Lao Li, I will pay attention."

Not long after, the technical director came to the workshop with several assistants, and Xu Mingjie and his fellow workers immediately went to greet them.

"Director, welcome to inspect our work." Xu Mingjie said politely.

The director smiled and nodded, looking around: "You have done a good job. I heard that the project is progressing smoothly. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Xu Mingjie and his colleagues nodded repeatedly, and the director then began to carefully check each link. After a detailed inspection, the director affirmed their work and also put forward some suggestions for improvement.

"You've done a great job, but there are still some details that need attention. Keep it up and strive for better results," the director encouraged.

Xu Mingjie and his fellow workers became more confident and determined to work harder to make the project the best it could be.

One night, Xu Mingjie returned home and Li Hong was busy in the kitchen, cooking a table of delicious dishes. Xiao Ming was helping out and when he saw his father coming back, he happily ran over and asked, "Dad, how was the work at the factory today?"

Xu Mingjie smiled and patted his son's head: "It went well, Xiaoming, how did you perform in school today?"

Xiao Ming said excitedly: "The teacher praised me and said that I have made great progress."

Li Hong came out with the dishes and said with a smile: "Our Xiao Ming is getting better and better. Come, let's eat."

The family sat around the table, enjoying a warm dinner. Xu Mingjie felt extremely happy in his heart, as all his hard work and fatigue were rewarded at this moment.

Xu Mingjie stood at the door of his house, his hesitation becoming more and more obvious. He couldn't bear to disturb Ran Qiuye, but his doubts and confusion made it difficult for him to calm down. A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. He took a deep breath and finally decided to open the door and walk into the yard.

The door hinge creaked softly, and the light in the room shone with a warm glow. Ran Qiuye was sitting at the table in the main room, holding an old book in her hand, as if immersed in her own world. Hearing the noise, she looked up and saw Xu Mingjie standing at the door, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Mingjie, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" Ran Qiuye put down the book and asked in a calm tone.

Xu Mingjie walked a few steps closer and sat on the chair opposite her, folding his hands on the table, his expression seemed a little solemn: "Qiu Ye, I have something to talk to you about."

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly and poured him a cup of tea: "Don't be nervous, just tell me what you want to say."
