Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

After this incident, Li Xiangqian realized that he should not only take care of himself, but also care about his neighbors. So he took the initiative to greet those elderly people living alone to see if they needed help. This process made him feel a new sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, and also made him find more warmth in the cold winter.

The winter nights were particularly long, and Li Xiangqian sat at his desk and continued to write his words. He incorporated his thoughts about Lou Xiao'e and his expectations for the future into his words. He knew that although there were many unforeseen difficulties in life, as long as there was love and hope in his heart, he could overcome everything.

One morning after the snow, Li Xiangqian stood in the yard, looking at the white snow scene, his heart filled with peace. He knew that although this winter was cold, he was not alone. Whether it was Lou Xiao'e's care or the mutual help of neighbors, he felt a deep warmth.

Li Xiangqian walked to the cornfield, gently stroked the corn stalks covered with snow, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that spring would come soon and bring everything back to life. He believed that his life would be like this land, and after a cold winter, it would usher in new hope and harvest.

As time goes by, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e still keep in close contact. Every time he receives a call or text message from her, Li Xiangqian's mood becomes particularly bright. He knows that no matter what the future holds, as long as they have love in their hearts, they can face everything bravely.

On a snowy night, Li Xiangqian had just returned from the market with snowflakes all over his body. He pushed open the gate of the courtyard and prepared to go inside to keep warm, when he suddenly heard a faint groan coming from outside the courtyard. His heart tightened, and he quickly turned around and walked out, following the sound.

In the corner outside the courtyard gate, Li Xiangqian saw a ragged homeless man huddled in the snow, shivering. The man's face was pale, and his lips had been frozen purple. Li Xiangqian couldn't help but feel pity, and hurried forward to help the homeless man up: "Brother, what's wrong with you? You can't stay here, you will freeze to death, come into the house and warm up."

The homeless man raised his head, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, but his voice was intermittent: "Thank you... I haven't eaten for several days..." Li Xiangqian felt sad and quickly helped him into the yard and brought him into the house. The warmth of the stove immediately surrounded them, and the homeless man's face looked a little better.

"Sit down first, I'll get you something to eat." Li Xiangqian settled the homeless man down, then quickly went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of hot noodles. The homeless man took the noodles and looked at Li Xiangqian gratefully: "Brother, you are such a good person. If it weren't for you, I might not have survived this winter."

Li Xiangqian shook his head and smiled, "Don't say that. We are all human beings, and we should help each other. What's your name? How did you end up like this?"

The homeless man ate a few mouthfuls of noodles and felt his strength recover. He whispered, "My name is Zhang Qiang. I used to work in another place, but the factory closed down. I lost my income and couldn't find a job. I had no money to pay the rent, so I had to live on the streets."

Li Xiangqian felt a surge of sympathy when he heard this. He knew how cruel this winter was for homeless people. He thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Qiang, if you want, you can stay with me temporarily. When you recover, you can find a job."

Zhang Qiang's eyes flashed with surprise and touching. He didn't expect Li Xiangqian to be so generous. "Brother Li, thank you so much. I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

Li Xiangqian waved his hand and said, "No trouble, you should have a good rest first and talk to him when you are better." He arranged an empty room for Zhang Qiang and brought him clean clothes and bedding. Seeing Zhang Qiang gradually settle down, Li Xiangqian felt more at ease.

Late at night, Li Xiangqian lay in bed, thinking about everything that happened during the day, with a lot of emotion in his heart. He felt that although there are many frustrations and hardships in life, as long as we care and help each other, we can find warmth and hope. Thinking about Zhang Qiang's experience, he couldn't help but cherish everything he had.

The next day, Li Xiangqian got up early and prepared breakfast for Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang ate breakfast gratefully, with a long-lost smile on his face: "Brother Li, you are really my benefactor. During this period, I will try my best to find a job and become independent as soon as possible."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is your home. Just tell me if you need anything." He silently hoped that Zhang Qiang could find a new direction in life as soon as possible and stand up again.

As time went by, Zhang Qiang's health gradually recovered, and he began to help in the yard, cleaning and planting, doing everything very seriously. Li Xiangqian found that Zhang Qiang was a hardworking and responsible person, which made him full of hope for Zhang Qiang's future.

On a sunny afternoon, Li Xiangqian and Zhang Qiang sat in the yard, basking in the rare winter sunshine. Zhang Qiang suddenly said, "Brother Li, I saw a job opening notice on the street. It's a small factory recruiting workers. I want to give it a try, maybe I can find a job."

After hearing this, Li Xiangqian felt relieved: "That's great, Zhang Qiang. You go and give it a try. Opportunities are given to those who are prepared. I believe you can do it." He patted Zhang Qiang on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

A few days later, Zhang Qiang applied for the job with great hope and was successfully accepted. Li Xiangqian felt extremely satisfied and happy when he saw the smile on Zhang Qiang's face. On the day Zhang Qiang officially started working, Li Xiangqian specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for him to celebrate his new start.

During dinner, Zhang Qiang raised his glass and said sincerely: "Brother Li, thanks to your help and care during this period, I was able to stand up again. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."

Li Xiangqian raised his glass with a smile and clinked it with Zhang Qiang: "Come on, Zhang Qiang. The future belongs to you." Their laughter echoed in the courtyard, warm and moving.

A few days later, Zhang Qiang started his new job smoothly. Li Xiangqian stood in the yard, watching the winter sun shining on the snow, feeling a little lost. Zhang Qiang's problem was solved, but his life seemed to have returned to its previous monotony and loneliness. He knew that he needed to find something new to fill the emptiness in his heart, but for a while he didn't know where to start.

Li Xiangqian wandered around the yard, wondering if he should find something new to do. He suddenly remembered that he still had a lot of unorganized books and manuscripts in his study. Perhaps he could spend time organizing these books, or even try to write some new articles, or record his past memories. Thinking of this, Li Xiangqian felt a little better.
