Chapter 403: Shazhu has changed
Sha Zhu grinned: "Uncle San, that's right. I was praised by the leader in the factory, how can I not be happy?"
Yan Bugui nodded slightly: "Well, not bad. Work hard, and you will definitely have a bright future."
After hearing this, Sha Zhu was even happier. He felt that Yan Bugui recognized him, so he chatted with Yan Bugui more enthusiastically. From the interesting things in the factory to the life in the courtyard, the relationship between the two of them eased a lot unconsciously.
However, not all neighbors can accept Sha Zhu's change so quickly. Jia Zhang has always been dissatisfied with Sha Zhu, thinking that he is just pretending.
"Hmph, this idiot Zhu must have bad intentions. He suddenly becomes so enthusiastic. Who knows, he might be up to some bad idea." Jia Zhang complained to Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu said helplessly: "Mom, don't always think about him like this. Maybe Shazhu is just in a good mood."
Jia Zhangshi didn't think so: "It's not abnormal to be in a good mood. I think he just wants to please everyone. He must have some purpose."
Under the influence of Jia Zhang, Bang Geng was also wary of Sha Zhu. Whenever he saw Sha Zhu, he would stay away from him, fearing that Sha Zhu would harm him.
Sha Zhu noticed the attitudes of Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng, but he didn't take it to heart. He felt that as long as he treated everyone sincerely, they would understand him one day.
As time went by, Sha Zhu's enthusiasm did not diminish despite the doubts of some people. He began to take the initiative to help the neighbors in the yard do things within his ability, such as helping the elderly move things, helping neighbors repair some small items, etc.
At first, everyone was a little surprised and uncomfortable, but gradually, they began to accept Sha Zhu's enthusiasm. Some neighbors even took the initiative to greet Sha Zhu and chat with him.
Once, the faucet in the yard broke again. Without saying anything, Sha Zhu picked up his tools and started to repair it. The neighbors nearby were moved by Sha Zhu's busy figure.
"Shazhu is actually a very kind-hearted kid," said an old man.
"Yeah, we all misunderstood him before," another neighbor echoed.
Thanks to Sha Zhu's efforts, the faucet was quickly fixed. Everyone expressed their gratitude to Sha Zhu, who scratched his head and said with a smile: "These are all trivial matters. We are all neighbors, and it is only natural for us to help each other."
This incident greatly changed Sha Zhu's image in the courtyard. Everyone began to truly recognize Sha Zhu's kindness and enthusiasm, and no longer had prejudices against him simply because of his previous reckless behavior.
As time goes by, the relationship between Sha Zhu and the neighbors in the courtyard becomes more and more harmonious. He is no longer just a silly chef, but a part of everyone's life, bringing more warmth and joy to the courtyard.
Sha Zhu himself also gained a lot in this process. He felt the love and support from his neighbors, and cherished this hard-earned relationship even more. He knew that his change was not only for himself, but also for making the Siheyuan family more harmonious and beautiful.
On a sunny day, the courtyard organized a collective activity. Everyone cleaned the yard and planted flowers and grass to make the whole courtyard more beautiful. Sha Zhu actively participated in it, working and laughing with everyone.
After the activity, everyone sat in the yard to rest and talk about what they had gained from the activity. Sha Zhu looked at his neighbors and felt deeply moved.
"I used to feel that I had no sense of existence in this yard and no one liked me. But now I realize that as long as I treat everyone sincerely, everyone will also be sincere to me." Sha Zhu said.
After hearing what Sha Zhu said, the neighbors all nodded in agreement.
"Shazhu, you are right. We are all family. We should help each other and make this yard better together." said an old lady.
Since then, Sha Zhu's life in the courtyard has become more fulfilling and meaningful. He is no longer the misunderstood Sha Zhu, but a good neighbor and friend in everyone's heart. And because of Sha Zhu's change, the courtyard has become more warm and harmonious, full of human touch.
After Chu Tian privately inquired about the reason for Sha Zhu's change, he was also a little surprised. In the courtyard, everyone has always been accustomed to Sha Zhu's care for Qin Huairu, especially the boxed lunches he often brought back, which seemed to have become a fixed pattern.
Now, Sha Zhu has a girlfriend, and the focus of his life has changed. He no longer brings lunch boxes to Qin Huairu like before. Qin Huairu naturally feels very uncomfortable, and her dissatisfaction is getting stronger and stronger.
One day, Qin Huairu ran into Sha Zhu in the yard. She suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Sha Zhu, why don't you bring me lunch recently?"
Sha Zhu scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Sister Qin, I have a girlfriend now, so it's a bit inconvenient. And I can't always bring you lunch boxes like this."
Qin Huairu was furious when she heard this: "Silly Zhu, how could you do this? You didn't say that before. Now that you have a girlfriend, have you forgotten me?"
Sha Zhu quickly explained: "Sister Qin, it's not that I forgot about you, it's that I have to consider my girlfriend's feelings now. I can't always take care of you and ignore my girlfriend."
Qin Huairu was relentless: "You just have no conscience. Our family is in such a difficult situation, can't you help me?"
The two people's quarrel became louder and louder, attracting the attention of other neighbors in the yard. Everyone gathered around and watched them quarreling, with their own thoughts in mind.
Some people think Qin Huairu is a bit too much, after all, Sha Zhu has his own life. "Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu has a girlfriend now, so it's normal for him not to bring you lunch. You can't always rely on others."
But some people sympathized with Qin Huairu and thought Sha Zhu was wrong. "Sha Zhu, you have always helped Qin Huairu, but now you suddenly don't care about her. It's really hard to understand."
Sha Zhu felt very helpless amidst the discussions of the crowd. He knew that his actions might make Qin Huairu unhappy, but he also didn't want to affect his relationship with his girlfriend because of Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu felt very wronged. She had always been used to Sha Zhu's help, and now it was suddenly gone, which made her feel very helpless. She continued to argue with Sha Zhu, hoping that Sha Zhu would change his mind.
Chu Tian watched this scene from the side, and he also felt a little emotional. He knew that Qin Huairu's life was not easy, but Sha Zhu also had his own difficulties. He felt that this matter needed a proper solution, and they couldn't keep quarreling like this.
