Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

At this time, Xu Damao came over and said softly: "Mingjie, I think this reading club will be a success. You are so well prepared." There was a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes, and his heart was full of confidence in Xu Mingjie.

"Thank you, Xu Damao. In fact, everyone's participation is the most important thing." Xu Mingjie smiled slightly, full of expectations for the future. He knew that only if everyone worked together could this reading club become a truly meaningful event.

"I have already thought of the game segments, which will definitely make everyone happy." Lin Xiaoyu said excitedly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes. Xu Mingjie was infected by her enthusiasm and secretly looked forward to the results of this event.

As night fell, Xu Mingjie quietly thought about the upcoming reading club in the yard. He understood that this was not just a simple event, but a gathering for everyone to share their stories and dreams. A passion gradually ignited in his heart, and he hoped that through this opportunity, everyone could find their love and pursuit of knowledge.

"As long as I try my best, I will be able to make Second Master understand our determination." He said to himself silently, with a determined light in his eyes.

As the date of the reading club approached, Xu Mingjie felt a growing sense of urgency. He sat on a bench in the yard, thinking about the upcoming event, trying to find the best way to make the second uncle and other neighbors truly understand the value of the reading club. He knew that he couldn't rely on enthusiasm alone, but also needed a smart plan to deal with the upcoming challenges.

"Mingjie, what are you thinking about?" Xu Damao came over and sat beside him, his eyes full of concern. "You frown, it seems like you have something on your mind."

"I'm thinking about how to get Second Uncle to participate and let him see the true meaning of our reading club." Xu Mingjie sighed, feeling a little irritated. He knew that Second Uncle's stubbornness might become a major obstacle to the reading club, but he didn't want to give up this opportunity.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Damao's interest was aroused, and he showed some expectation on his face. He hoped that Xu Mingjie could come up with a clever solution.

Xu Mingjie's eyes were determined and his mind gradually became clear: "We can design some sessions in the book club that will interest the second uncle, such as inviting him to share his reading experience, or discuss some topics he is familiar with." He felt that if the second uncle could feel respected and valued, perhaps his attitude would change.

"That's a good idea! I think Second Uncle will like it." Xu Damao clapped his hands excitedly, and he had more confidence in the success of the reading club. "However, we must prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard."

Xu Mingjie smiled and started thinking about how to prepare for these steps. "We can communicate with other neighbors in advance and let everyone participate to create a relaxing atmosphere for Uncle Er." His tone was full of determination, as if he saw a brand new future.

"Okay, I'll go find other people right away." Xu Damao stood up and prepared to contact the neighbors. He knew that Xu Mingjie's plan required everyone's cooperation, and only by working together could they truly achieve their goals.

In the following days, Xu Mingjie was very busy. He kept communicating with his neighbors and actively invited everyone to participate in the reading club, gradually creating a more and more intense atmosphere for the event. He felt that the enthusiasm and support of his neighbors were his driving force and strengthened his belief.

At the same time, Xu Mingjie began to feel confident. He realized that he was not only organizing a reading club, but also building a platform for mutual understanding and support for the people in the entire courtyard. He wanted to create an atmosphere where everyone could find a sense of belonging, especially the second uncle. He hoped that this stubborn old man could also feel the enthusiasm and kindness of the young people.

"I must let him see that this is not just an activity, but our common pursuit." Xu Mingjie vowed to himself, with a firm belief burning in his heart.

In such a tense atmosphere, the book club finally arrived. Xu Mingjie came to the yard early in the morning, set up the venue, and prepared to welcome every participant. He carefully placed the books and prepared some drinks and snacks, hoping to create a relaxed atmosphere.

"Mingjie, look at how neatly these books are arranged. Really nice!" Lin Xiaoyu came over with a gleam of admiration in her eyes. "I think everyone will like these books."

"Thank you, Xiaoyu! I hope everyone can feel the charm of knowledge." Xu Mingjie smiled slightly, looking forward to the reading club.

As time went by, neighbors came to the yard one after another, and everyone's faces were filled with excited smiles. At this time, Xu Mingjie's heart was surging like a tide. He felt a kind of cohesion from the courtyard, as if everyone was contributing their own strength to this event.

However, in this cheerful atmosphere, Xu Mingjie noticed the figure of the second uncle. He stood quietly aside, scanning everything around him, and seemed to be full of vigilance. Xu Mingjie's heart tightened, and he realized that he needed to communicate with him again.

"Second Uncle, are you coming to our book club too?" Xu Mingjie walked up, greeted him with a smile, hoping to get closer to the Second Uncle.

"I just came to take a look, I didn't expect you guys to be so lively." The second uncle's tone was still cold, with a bit of disdain in his eyes. He seemed to be unimpressed by the atmosphere around him, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, wondering what the young people wanted.

"We have prepared many interesting discussion topics and hope that everyone can share their views together." Xu Mingjie tried to make his voice sound friendly, while secretly thinking in his heart how to get the second uncle involved.

"What depth can your discussion have? This is nothing more than entertainment." The second uncle's tone was full of disdain. He was secretly dissatisfied in his heart and wanted to see the real intentions of the young people.

Xu Mingjie sensed Second Uncle's resistance, but he did not back down. He took a deep breath and smiled, "Second Uncle, if you can participate and share your views on the book, it will definitely benefit everyone." He hoped that he could move Second Uncle with his sincerity and gradually resolve his doubts.

"I... I don't need to share." The second uncle's tone was slightly hesitant, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He knew that he should not be infected by the enthusiasm of young people, but he could not resist the potential attraction.
