He Daqing nodded gratefully: "Okay, thank you for your help then."

In the next few days, Qin Huairu went door to door to explain He Daqing's plan. The residents of the courtyard expressed their support, not only willing to contribute money and effort, but also provided some suggestions. Xu Damao suggested contacting the fabric factory in the city, perhaps he could buy quilts at a lower price; Zhao Cheng offered to help with the delivery.

With everyone's joint efforts, things went very smoothly. He Daqing and Xu Damao went to the fabric factory together. When the factory manager heard that it was for the elderly and children in the courtyard, he was very supportive and gave a very favorable price. He Daqing made the decision on the spot and ordered all the quilts he needed.

The day the quilts were delivered to the courtyard, the courtyard was bustling with activity. The adults were busy distributing the quilts, and the children were cheering and watching the excitement. The scene was warm and touching. He Daqing looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.

Zhao Cheng patted He Daqing on the shoulder and said, "Old He, this time it's all thanks to you. We are all very happy."

He Daqing smiled modestly: "It's the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just did my little bit."

Grandma Liu also came over, holding a brand new quilt in her hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle He, your thoughts are remembered by everyone. This quilt is really warm, and it is much more comfortable to sleep at night."

As night fell, the courtyard returned to peace. He Daqing sat alone on a bench in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, feeling extremely satisfied and relieved. He knew that it was the love and mutual help between neighbors that made this courtyard so warm. Although there was still a lot to do, he believed that as long as everyone worked together, nothing was impossible.

That night, He Daqing lay in bed, thinking about what he could do next. He thought: There are still many things that can be improved, such as the sanitation of the courtyard, the interaction between neighbors, etc. He decided to gradually solve these problems and make the courtyard better.

The next day, He Daqing got up early and walked in the yard, thinking: "I bought quilts for everyone, what should I do now?" Suddenly, he thought of the old windows in the yard. Many windows have been in disrepair for a long time, and they leak wind and rain, which is especially cold in winter. He Daqing decided that the next goal is to repair these windows so that everyone can live more comfortably in winter.

Thinking of this, He Daqing felt full of motivation. He knew that as long as everyone worked together, this courtyard would become better and better. So he began to prepare, looking for suitable carpenters and materials to prepare for the next work.

He Daqing has been feeling a bit heavy lately. Although he has been trying to do good things for the neighbors in Siheyuan, He Yuzhu has recently made him very angry. He Yuzhu is a young man with a relatively straightforward personality in Siheyuan. He usually speaks and acts very directly, and sometimes even seems a bit reckless. During this period, some minor frictions between him and He Yuzhu gradually made He Daqing feel upset.

The story all started with a small misunderstanding. That day, He Daqing was busy repairing the public faucet in the yard when he suddenly heard He Yuzhu's loud voice from behind him: "Uncle He, you're repairing the faucet without even calling me! You're old, don't tire yourself out."

He Daqing stopped what he was doing, turned around, and saw He Yuzhu standing behind him with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He wanted to explain, but He Yuzhu continued, "You should leave the repair work to us young people. If you get tired, everyone will feel bad."

He Daqing felt unhappy for a moment, but he still said patiently: "I saw that you were busy with work recently, so I didn't want to bother you. I can still handle this little thing."

He Yuzhu was not relenting: "Uncle He, don't you just not trust us? We young people have plenty of energy. You should get more rest."

He Daqing was even more unhappy when he heard this, and felt that He Yuzhu was a little ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. He wanted to say something back, but in the end he suppressed his unhappiness, smiled and said: "Okay, I will pay attention next time. If you are free, come and help."

Although He Yuzhu didn't say anything at the time, He Daqing still felt uncomfortable. In the following days, he felt angry whenever he saw He Yuzhu. In particular, one time, he saw He Yuzhu loudly directing others to move things in the yard, and he felt even more uncomfortable, thinking that He Yuzhu was a little arrogant.

That evening, He Daqing sat alone on a bench in the yard, feeling a little heavy-hearted. Zhao Cheng came over and saw He Daqing's appearance, and asked with concern: "Uncle He, what's wrong with you? You don't look very happy."

He Daqing sighed and said, "I've been feeling really choked up lately, and there are things I can't figure out."

Zhao Cheng sat down and patted He Daqing on the shoulder: "Is it because of He Yuzhu's matter?"

He Daqing looked at Zhao Cheng in surprise and nodded: "How did you know?"

Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Everyone has seen the recent minor frictions between you and He Yuzhu. Although He Yuzhu has a blunt temper, he is not a bad person. He just expresses himself in a rude way, so don't take it to heart."

He Daqing was silent for a while, then sighed, "I know he's not a bad person, but sometimes I feel like he's too thoughtless when he speaks and does things. I'm old now, and my temper isn't as good as it used to be, and I get angry easily."

Zhao Cheng nodded: "I understand. Otherwise, you can find a chance to have a good chat with He Yuzhu and speak out your mind. Maybe the misunderstanding will be resolved and your mood will get better."

After listening to Zhao Cheng's words, He Daqing felt that they made sense and decided to find an opportunity to talk to He Yuzhu.

The next day, He Daqing saw He Yuzhu in the yard and took the initiative to walk over: "Xiao Yuzhu, are you free? I have something to talk to you about."

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then said readily: "Of course I am free, Uncle He, go ahead."

The two found a quiet place to sit down, and He Daqing said, "Xiao Yuzhu, I know you usually speak directly, but there are some things I still want to talk to you about. I am old, and sometimes I have a bad temper. I hope you can understand."

He Yuzhu felt a little guilty after hearing this: "Uncle He, I know that I am sometimes inconsiderate when I speak and act, and I made you angry. It's my fault. I will pay attention to it in the future."

He Daqing nodded: "You are not a bad guy, but sometimes you are too straightforward. Our courtyard can only get better and better with the joint efforts of everyone, so you should help everyone."
