Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

"Thank you, Xu Damao. I will follow your advice." Xu Mingjie said gratefully, "Are there any specific precautions?"

"There are no precautions. As long as you are sincere and meticulous, although Second Master has a bad temper, he knows who is sincere to him." Xu Damao said with a smile, "Also, don't forget to give him some small surprises at the right time."

Xu Mingjie talked a lot with Xu Damao, and had more plans and intentions in mind. He knew that facing an opponent like the Second Uncle, simple compromise and direct communication might not be able to solve the problem, but through meticulous actions and a sincere attitude, the situation might be changed.

After Xu Mingjie left Xu Damao's courtyard, he was determined to reconsider his decision. He knew that simply improving the condition of the flowers and plants might not be enough. He needed to understand the second uncle's heart more deeply and find a way to really touch his heart. He returned to his own courtyard and thought about his next plan.

Xu Mingjie decided to start with the flowers and plants that the second uncle cared about the most. He carefully checked every pot of flowers and plants in the yard and recorded their status and problems. He knew that the second uncle attached great importance to the growth of these flowers and plants, especially several pots of rare varieties, each of which was the result of his careful care. Therefore, Xu Mingjie decided to start with these varieties and make some targeted improvements.

In the next few days, Xu Mingjie contacted some gardening experts and consulted them about the maintenance knowledge of these special flowers and plants. He listened carefully to the experts' opinions, carefully recorded their suggestions, and put them into practice. He bought some fertilizers, soil conditioners and special tools, and carried out detailed treatment on the flowers and plants one by one.

During these improvements, Xu Mingjie felt some pressure and challenges. Although these tasks were not complicated, he had to be extra careful to ensure that every step was done well. He tried to be as precise as possible in every fertilization and watering, and paid attention to the reactions of the flowers and plants in every step. He knew that these details were crucial to the second uncle.

A few days later, Xu Mingjie finally completed the comprehensive improvement of the flowers and plants. Standing in the yard, looking at the flowers and plants that were rejuvenated, he felt a sense of accomplishment. He knew that these improvements were not only an improvement to the flowers and plants themselves, but also an important improvement to the relationship between him and his second uncle.

That morning, Xu Mingjie prepared some breakfast in advance and brought it to the second uncle's yard. He decided to show the second uncle his improvement results on flowers and plants while delivering breakfast. He knew that direct actions could move people more than any words.

"Good morning, Second Uncle." Xu Mingjie knocked on Second Uncle's gate with a friendly tone in his voice.

The second uncle opened the door and saw the breakfast in Xu Mingjie's hand and the flowers and plants behind him. His brows slightly frowned. "Xu Mingjie, what are you doing..."

"I prepared some breakfast for you to try." Xu Mingjie replied with a smile, "By the way, I also made some improvements to the flowers and plants. You can come and take a look."

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the second uncle, but he still followed Xu Mingjie into the yard. He carefully observed the condition of the flowers and plants, and gradually showed some surprise in his eyes. Xu Mingjie patiently explained every detail of the improvement, including the proportion of fertilizer, the frequency of watering, and the adjustment of the soil.

"These improvements are indeed very detailed." The second uncle said slowly, with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "You have put in a lot of effort."

Xu Mingjie felt relieved, but he knew it was not enough. He needed more time and patience to gradually change the second uncle's attitude. "This is just the beginning. If there is anything that needs improvement, please let me know at any time."

The second uncle was silent for a while and nodded. His expression softened a little, and although he did not show obvious gratitude, Xu Mingjie knew that such a change in attitude was already a positive sign.

Xu Mingjie put breakfast on the table and was about to leave when the second uncle suddenly called him. "Wait a minute, I want to ask you something."

Xu Mingjie turned around, feeling a little nervous. "What's the matter, Second Uncle?"

"I know you put a lot of effort into the flowers and plants." The second uncle's tone became softer, "But why do you do this? What is the purpose?"

Xu Mingjie was a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that this was an opportunity to show his true thoughts. "Second Uncle, I'm not doing this for anything else. I just want everyone to live a better life. Whether it's the flowers and plants in the yard or the relationship between us, I hope it can be improved."

After hearing these words, the second uncle was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something. His expression became complicated, and finally he just nodded slightly. "I understand, you really put in a lot of effort."

Xu Mingjie felt a little relieved. He knew that this did not mean that all the problems were solved, but at least in this small moment, the gap between him and the second uncle was reduced. He decided to continue working hard to continuously improve the relationship between himself and the second uncle, and at the same time make the life in the courtyard more harmonious.

In the following days, Xu Mingjie continued to take good care of the flowers and plants, and also tried to improve his communication with the second uncle through some small actions. He invited the second uncle to drink tea and share some new knowledge about flowers and plants. Although the second uncle sometimes seemed a little cold, he gradually began to accept some of Xu Mingjie's kindness.

A few days later, Xu Mingjie found that despite his efforts in taking care of the flowers and plants and trying to improve his relationship with the second uncle in various ways, things did not seem to go as smoothly as he wished. Whenever he saw that the second uncle still maintained a cold attitude, he could not help but feel frustrated. He knew that he still had many shortcomings in handling this matter and needed a more thoughtful strategy.

That morning, when Xu Mingjie walked into the yard, he found the second uncle sitting on a stone bench, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard. His expression seemed calm, but Xu Mingjie could feel his inner turmoil. Xu Mingjie decided to try to approach the second uncle again, hoping to find a further breakthrough.

"Good morning, Uncle." Xu Mingjie walked forward with a relaxed tone, trying to look natural. "I brought you some fruit today, please try it."

The second uncle raised his head and looked at the fruit in Xu Mingjie's hand, frowning slightly. "Again?"
