He Daqing sighed and told Xiaolan what happened. After listening, Xiaolan was silent for a while, then said: "Master He, I believe you can find a way. Your bookstall is not only for selling books, but also a place for everyone to communicate and learn. We can come up with some new ideas to attract everyone."

He Daqing nodded, feeling a little relieved. He knew that Xiaolan was right and he couldn't give up easily.

The next day, He Daqing decided to go to the new bookstore. He crossed several streets and finally found the newly opened bookstore. The bookstore was beautifully decorated, and the shelves were full of various new books. The prices were indeed much cheaper than his stall.

He Daqing walked in, observed carefully, and had some ideas in mind. He returned to the courtyard and began to readjust his strategy. He decided to use his unique advantages to turn the bookstall into a cultural exchange center for the community, not just a simple bookstall.

He Daqing first organized a reading club, inviting the neighbors of the courtyard to read and discuss together. Everyone showed great interest in this new activity and participated in it. He Daqing also invited some knowledgeable elderly people to share their insights, making the content of the reading club more colorful.

"Hello everyone, today we are going to discuss the content of this book. I hope everyone will speak actively." He Daqing said with a smile.

At the reading party, everyone spoke freely and the atmosphere was lively. He Daqing felt relieved to see his neighbors regain their enthusiasm for books.

"Xiaolan, this reading club is very effective and everyone likes it very much." He Daqing said to Xiaolan happily.

Xiaolan smiled and nodded, "Master He, you are really good at this. We can hold such activities regularly to make everyone feel more involved."

He Daqing came up with another idea. He decided to set up a small corner next to the bookstall for children to read and study. He took out part of his savings and bought some books suitable for children to read and some simple school supplies. This new children's corner quickly attracted many parents to bring their children, making the bookstall lively again.

"Master He, this children's corner is a great idea. My children like it very much." A parent said with a smile.

He Daqing smiled and replied: "Thank you. I hope the children can find the joy of reading here."

Through these efforts, He Daqing's bookstall gradually recovered its business and became even more prosperous than before. He deeply understood that competition is not terrible, as long as you face it with your heart, you can always find a solution.

At night, He Daqing and Xiaolan sat in the yard, looking at the stars in the sky, their hearts full of hope.

"Xiaolan, thank you for your continued support and companionship. I believe that no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we can face them together." He Daqing said with emotion.

Xiaolan smiled gently and held He Daqing's hand, "Master He, I'm not afraid as long as you are here. Let's work together to make life in this courtyard better and better."

He Yuzhu looked a little unhappy. He followed behind He Daqing and whispered, "Brother Daqing, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, Yuzhu, just go and fix it as soon as possible. She has a quick temper, don't take it to heart." He Daqing comforted.

He Yuzhu nodded and hurried to get the tools to fix the door. He Daqing looked at his back, his heart full of mixed emotions. He knew that Qin Huairu had always been unfriendly to He Yuzhu and always looked for opportunities to make things difficult for him, but He Yuzhu had a gentle personality and never argued with anyone, always silently enduring it.

That night, He Daqing and He Li were chatting on the bed, and He Li asked about what happened in the morning.

"Daqing, why do you think Qin Huairu always targets Yuzhu? This child is really serious about his work. He is not as bad as she says." He Li said angrily.

"I think Qin Huairu is a natural troublemaker. Yuzhu has a good temper, so he is always bullied by her. We should pay more attention to Yuzhu in the future and not let him suffer any injustices." He Daqing sighed and felt distressed for He Yuzhu's experience.

The next day, He Daqing got up early and prepared some snacks, planning to have breakfast with He Yuzhu. He knew that chatting with Yuzhu might make him feel better.

"Yuzhu, come, try this. Your sister-in-law made it specially for you." He Daqing handed a plate of hot pastries to He Yuzhu and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Daqing, thank you, Sister-in-law." He Yuzhu took the pastries, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Yuzhui, don't always bear it alone in silence. Tell us if you have any grievances. We are a family and we will face any difficulties together." He Daqing looked at He Yuzhui and said earnestly.

He Yuzhu nodded, feeling warm in his heart. He knew that He Daqing really cared about him, and he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and almost shed tears.

"I understand, Brother Daqing. I won't keep it in my heart anymore." He Yuzhu said with a smile, and he felt much more relaxed.

In the following days, He Daqing and He Li paid more attention to He Yuzhu and tried their best to help him solve some trivial matters.

He Yuzhu also changed his mentality. He no longer tolerated others blindly and began to learn to communicate with neighbors like Qin Huairu. Although the process was a bit difficult, he gradually learned how to deal with these complex interpersonal relationships.

One day, He Yuzhu was repairing a broken chair in the yard when Qin Huairu came over angrily again.

"He Yuzhu, why is the window you repaired yesterday leaking again? Are your craftsmanship any good?" Qin Huairu yelled, his face full of anger.

This time, He Yuzhu did not bow his head to apologize, but said calmly: "Sister Qin, I repaired the window as required yesterday. If there is still a problem, it may be that there is something wrong with your window frame. Why don't we take a look together and find out the problem."

Qin Huairu was stunned. She didn't expect He Yuzhu to say that. She was speechless for a moment. She looked at He Yuzhu's determined eyes and was a little shaken. She didn't say anything more and turned back to the house.

He Daqing watched all this and nodded secretly in his heart. He knew that He Yuzhu was growing up and learned how to deal with these complicated neighborhood relationships. He walked over, patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yuzhu, good job. You must remember that being a person must have principles, but also wisdom."

He Yuzhu nodded and replied with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Daqing, I will remember it."

As time went by, He Yuzhu became more and more respected and loved by everyone in the courtyard.
