Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

At night, the courtyard returned to peace. Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e sat in the pavilion in the courtyard and relaxed. Li Xiangqian said with emotion: "Xiao'e, thanks to you this time, we can successfully solve this matter."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Moving forward, this is also our joint effort. We must not only take good care of ourselves, but also care about the people around us."

On a rainy afternoon, the courtyard was filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e had just had an argument over a trivial matter. The cause of the matter was simple. Li Xiangqian had been in a state of emotional instability recently due to work pressure, while Lou Xiao'e was busy taking care of the daily chores of the courtyard, and the two gradually had less communication.

"Xiang Qian, you've been so irritable lately. I really don't know what to do to make you satisfied!" There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in Lou Xiao'e's voice.

Li Xiangqian sat on the sofa, frowning, and said irritably: "Xiao E, I'm just under a lot of pressure at work, I didn't mean to get angry with you. Why are you always so sensitive?"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were red. She tried hard to hold back her tears and said, "Xiang Qian, I just want to help you share some of the burden, but you always use me as a punching bag. You know what? I have my own difficulties too."

Li Xiangqian felt a little sorry when he heard this, but he still couldn't control his emotions: "Xiao E, I know you're working hard, but I'm really tired. Can we stop arguing?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, tears finally burst out of her eyes: "Okay, you don't want to quarrel, right? Then I'll go back to my parents' house to calm down."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went into the room and started packing her luggage. Li Xiangqian looked at her busy back, feeling regretful and helpless, but he didn't know what to say to save the situation. He knew that what he said just now hurt Lou Xiao'e, but he couldn't put aside his emotions for a while.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e came to the door with a suitcase in her hand, tears in her eyes: "Xiang Qian, I'm going back to my parents' home for a few days. I hope you can calm down."

Li Xiangqian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words turned into a sigh: "Xiao E, be careful on the road."

Lou Xiao'e didn't look at Li Xiangqian again, and turned to leave the courtyard. Li Xiangqian looked at her leaving back, and his heart ached. He knew he was wrong, but he didn't know how to make up for it.

In the following days, Li Xiangqian's mood became even heavier. He returned to the empty courtyard every day, feeling extremely lonely and regretful. Lou Xiao'e's gentle smile and busy figure in the past kept appearing in his mind, and he began to realize how much he depended on her.

Finally, Li Xiangqian decided to go find Lou Xiao'e. He brought some of her favorite snacks and a bouquet of flowers, hoping to get her forgiveness.

Arriving at Lou Xiao'e's parents' home, Li Xiangqian stood at the door, feeling nervous and uneasy. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After a while, Lou Xiao'e's mother opened the door and saw that it was Li Xiangqian, with a little surprise on her face.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Xiang Qian, and I came here specially to see Xiao E today." Li Xiang Qian tried his best to remain polite and humble.

Lou Xiao'e's mother nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao'e is in the room, you can go in."

Li Xiangqian walked into the room and saw Lou Xiaoe sitting by the window, looking at the rain outside. She heard footsteps, turned around, and saw that it was Li Xiangqian, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

"Xiang Qian, why are you here?" There was a hint of surprise and uncertainty in her voice.

Li walked up to her, handed her the flowers and snacks in his hand, and said sincerely: "Xiao'e, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't lose my temper with you. I really regret it, and I hope you can forgive me."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xiangqian, tears welling up in her eyes again. She took the flowers and said softly, "Xiangqian, it's not that I don't understand you, I just hope that we can face difficulties together instead of hurting each other."

Li Xiangqian held her hand, his heart full of guilt and gratitude: "Xiao'e, I know I was wrong. I will pay more attention to my emotions in the future and never make you sad again. Let's work hard together, okay?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. She gently leaned on Li Xiangqian's shoulder and said with a sob: "Xiangqian, we all need to learn how to communicate better. As long as our hearts are together, there is nothing we can't overcome."

Li Xiangqian hugged Lou Xiao'e tightly, his heart full of determination. He knew that this quarrel made them both learn a lot, and he also cherished every moment with Lou Xiao'e even more.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e returned to the courtyard together. Although it was still drizzling outside, the haze in their hearts had dissipated. The two continued to be busy in the courtyard, taking care of each other, and their days returned to their former warmth and peace.

At night, the lights of the courtyard once again warmly illuminated their lives. "Xiao'e, after this experience, I understand even more how important you are to me. We must face the ups and downs of life together and greet every tomorrow together."

Lou Xiao'e looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of determination and love: "Move forward, no matter what the future holds, we will be together and walk through every day hand in hand."

On a weekend in early autumn, Li Xiangqian decided to buy a new schoolbag for his sister, Li Xiaotong. A few days ago, when he visited Xiaotong, he found that her schoolbag was already worn out, but she had never been willing to buy a new one. Li Xiangqian felt guilty and cared for her, so he decided to choose a beautiful and practical schoolbag for her.

Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e walked into a large shopping mall in the city. The mall was bustling with people and there were all kinds of goods on display. Lou Xiao'e took Li Xiangqian's arm and said with a smile, "Xiangqian, what kind of schoolbag should we pick for Xiaotong? What color does she like?"

Li Xiangqian recalled and said seriously: "Xiaotong likes brighter colors, and she usually has a lot of books, so we need to choose something sturdy and durable."

They walked to the stationery section and saw a variety of school bags on the shelves. Some were pink, some were blue, some had cartoon patterns, and some had simple styles. Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiaoe discussed as they selected.

Lou Xiao'e picked up a blue schoolbag, examined it carefully, and said to Li Xiangqian, "This schoolbag looks quite sturdy, has a large capacity, and the color is relatively fresh. Xiaotong should like it."

Li Xiangqian took the schoolbag, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "This is good. Xiaotong has always liked the color blue. I think she will like this schoolbag."
