Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

The second uncle is a shrewd and capable man. He has his own ideas about every corner of the courtyard, especially about Xu Mingjie's lifestyle. He always feels that Xu Mingjie is too self-indulgent and idle all day long. He is the only one in the whole courtyard who is not doing his job. The second uncle often scolds Xu Mingjie loudly in the courtyard, accusing him of having no ambition and living a muddle-headed life.

"Mingjie, look at what you've been doing all day!" The second uncle walked up to Xu Mingjie angrily and pointed at the book he had just finished reading. "You just read books every day, what's the point of reading? You have to find something to do!"

Xu Mingjie raised his head with a faint smile on his face, but he thought to himself that books can bring you beautiful women and golden houses. He did not feel that he had wasted his time. "Second Uncle, I think reading is also very important. Knowledge can help me understand the world better."

"What's the point of understanding the world! You have to be able to gain a foothold in society before you can have a say." The second uncle looked disdainful, as if he sneered at Xu Mingjie's ideals. Whenever they argued, the neighbors around them would always gather by the window and watch this "performance" quietly. This has become a "program" in the courtyard.

Xu Mingjie was not defeated by the accusations of the second uncle, and he still insisted on his own ideas. He knew that his lifestyle was completely different from that of the second uncle. The second uncle was more inclined to traditional values ​​and believed that work was the foundation of life, while he hoped to find his own direction in the ocean of knowledge. Although the arguments between them always ended in failure, Xu Mingjie became more determined.

As time went by, Xu Mingjie gradually discovered that the argument between him and his uncle was not only a clash of ideas, but also a misunderstanding between generations. He tried to explain to his uncle that there was no absolute right or wrong way to live, and that a combination of study and work was a more ideal state. But his uncle was always stubborn and believed that young people should not take life so lightly.

"I'm not trying to escape reality, I'm just exploring my own possibilities." Xu Mingjie finally couldn't help but said to the second uncle, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. What he wanted to express seemed to be not only his own pursuit, but also another understanding of life.

However, the second uncle remained unmoved, with a mocking smile on his face. "Explore possibilities? When you find yourself penniless, come and tell me how successful your exploration was."

At this time, a new neighbor walked into the courtyard. Her name was Lin Xiaoyu, a young girl who had just moved in. Her arrival broke the quarrel between Xu Mingjie and the second uncle. Lin Xiaoyu listened to the argument between Xu Mingjie and the second uncle and said softly: "In fact, there are many ways to live, and everyone should have their own choices."

This sentence was like a breeze, easing Xu Mingjie's anxiety. He turned to look at Lin Xiaoyu, secretly admiring this girl who was brave enough to express her own ideas. Although the second uncle looked unhappy, he didn't say anything else.

In the following days, Xu Mingjie and Lin Xiaoyu gradually became friends. They often discussed books and life on the bench in the courtyard, sharing each other's dreams and pursuits. Lin Xiaoyu's presence made Xu Mingjie feel a little comforted, and he knew that he was not alone.

However, the second uncle was still dissatisfied with Xu Mingjie's lifestyle. Whenever he saw them together, the second uncle couldn't help but sneer and try to create a gap between them. Although Xu Mingjie felt helpless, he also had a stronger motivation to stick to his choice.

As time went by, the summer in the courtyard quietly passed, and the breath of autumn gradually became stronger. Xu Mingjie was still immersed in the ocean of books, while the second uncle was busy taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard. Their arguments were still frequent, but gradually became more interesting. Whenever they started to argue, the neighbors around would always gather and quietly watch this battle of wits and courage.

In a heated argument, the second uncle no longer just criticized Xu Mingjie's lifestyle, but began to explore his future plans in depth. Xu Mingjie found that the second uncle was not completely rejecting his choice, but hoped that he could have a clearer direction for his future.

"I hope you can have a clear goal instead of just indulging in books." The second uncle's tone began to soften, and he seemed to have a better understanding of Xu Mingjie's thoughts.

Xu Mingjie realized that although the second uncle's approach was contrary to his own, his expectations for young people were unquestionable. He began to seriously think about his future and look for a path that could balance knowledge and practice. He said to the second uncle: "I will try my best to apply the knowledge in the book to reality, so that my choice will be more meaningful."

The second uncle nodded slightly, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax a lot. At this moment, the relationship between them seemed to have changed a little, no longer a simple opposition, but began to develop in the direction of mutual understanding.

The autumn sunshine sprinkled in the courtyard, warm and peaceful. The argument between Xu Mingjie and the second uncle was no longer an endless conflict, but gradually evolved into a clash of ideas. Every argument between them constantly sharpened each other's thoughts and made them understand the complexity and diversity of life.

As time went by, with Lin Xiaoyu's encouragement, Xu Mingjie began to try to combine his knowledge with reality. He actively participated in community activities, helped neighbors solve practical problems, and shared his ideas with everyone. This change attracted the attention of the second uncle. Although he still made some sharp comments from time to time, there was a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"You kid, you finally know how to contribute to society." The mockery in the second uncle's tone was no longer as sharp as before, but was mixed with a bit of pride.

Xu Mingjie smiled slightly, feeling a sense of pride in his heart, knowing that his persistence was finally recognized. In this warm family of Siheyuan, each of them is working hard for their own ideals, although in different ways, they are all pursuing a better life.

As time went by, life in the courtyard remained the same. The arguments between Xu Mingjie and the second uncle gradually became a part of life, and the neighbors got used to such "confrontations". In this argument, Xu Mingjie not only learned to stick to his own ideas, but also gradually realized the expectations and care hidden behind the second uncle.
