Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Lou Xiao'e sat next to Li Xiangqian and said softly, "Mr. Li, I've always been thinking that you've been so kind to me, but I've never been able to respond to you. I'm really touched and I'm very grateful for your efforts."

Li Xiangqian felt warm in his heart. He looked at Lou Xiao'e and said gently, "Xiao'e, you don't have to say that. I am willing to do this for you. I just hope you can live happily."

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head, her voice choking: "Mr. Li, I actually want to tell you how I feel about you. But my past experiences have scared me a little, and I need some time to adjust myself."

Li Xiangqian gently held her hand and said firmly, "Xiao'e, I understand how you feel. No matter how long it takes you, I will be here waiting for you. I hope you know that I will always support you until you completely get over the shadow of the past."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head, tears in her eyes, but more of it was moved and grateful. She nodded gently and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li. Your support is very important to me."

From that day on, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e became closer. Not only did they work together in the yard, but they also went to the market together to buy things and enjoy the little things in life. Li Xiangqian's love for Lou Xiao'e became more and more firm, and under his care, Lou Xiao'e gradually walked out of the shadow of the past and became more cheerful and confident.

Winter finally came, the cold air invaded the courtyard, and the cold wind howled in the yard. Li Xiangqian stood in front of the window, watching the falling snowflakes, secretly glad that he had stored enough food early. He knew that this winter would be particularly cold, but his heart was filled with warmth because of Lou Xiaoe's existence.

In the morning, Li Xiangqian put on a thick cotton coat, walked into the yard, and began to clean the cornfield covered with snow. He carefully cleaned each corn plant to ensure that they could stay healthy in the harsh winter. His fingers were frozen red, but his heart felt very warm because he could do something for Lou Xiao'e.

Seeing Li Xiangqian busy outside, Lou Xiao'e was touched and felt guilty. She knew that Li Xiangqian had done a lot for her, but she had never given him enough in return. She walked into the yard, handed Li Xiangqian a cup of hot tea, and said softly, "Mr. Li, come in and rest for a while, it's too cold outside."

Li Xiangqian took the hot tea and said with a smile: "Thank you, Xiao'e. I'm fine, don't worry."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xiangqian's red, frozen fingers, and felt a pang of pain in her heart. She gently held his hand and said, "Mr. Li, you are so kind to me. I am really touched. I also want to do something for you."

Li Xiangqian looked at Lou Xiao'e, his eyes full of tenderness and determination. He said softly: "Xiao'e, your happiness is the best reward for me. Your smile is more important than anything else."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she felt a warm current in her heart. She nodded gently and decided not to hesitate any longer. She began to take more initiative to care about Li Xiangqian's life, cooking for him, and tidying up his room. The relationship between the two became closer in the cold winter.

On a snowy morning, the courtyard was covered with thick white snow. Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e stood in the courtyard, admiring the beautiful scenery. Li Xiangqian suddenly thought of taking Lou Xiao'e to the nearby hillside for skiing, which would not only make her happy, but also allow them to spend an unforgettable winter time.

"Lou Xiao'e, the snow scenery is so beautiful today, why don't we go skiing?" Li Xiangqian suggested, with excitement shining in his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised, but was soon infected by his enthusiasm and said with a smile: "Okay, I haven't skied for a long time."

The two took their skis and walked to the hillside with great interest. The hillside was covered with snow, and the surroundings were quiet and beautiful. Li Xiangqian taught Lou Xiao'e how to ski, and they played in the snow, and their laughter echoed in the valley. Li Xiangqian looked at the smile on Lou Xiao'e's face and felt extremely satisfied. He knew that the happiness at this moment was what he had always pursued.

After skiing, the two sat under a big tree on the hillside, breathing the fresh air and feeling the warmth of the winter sun. Li Xiangqian turned his head and looked at Lou Xiao'e, his eyes full of affection and determination. He gently held her hand and said softly: "Xiao'e, I hope we can always be happy like this. No matter what the future holds, I will be by your side."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xiangqian with tears in her eyes. She nodded gently and said, "Mr. Li, I also hope that we can always be like this. I will remember all your kindness to me. I will work hard to make myself better and welcome the future with you."

A warm feeling welled up in Li Xiangqian's heart, and he knew that his efforts had finally paid off. Although the future was still full of uncertainties, he believed that as long as the two of them worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in a beautiful life that belonged to them.

Back in the courtyard, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e prepared dinner together. The fire was blazing by the stove, and the room was warm and cozy. They sat together, sharing each other's thoughts, and laughter and warmth filled the whole room. Li Xiangqian looked at all this and felt extremely satisfied and happy. He knew that his life had become more colorful because of Lou Xiao'e, and he was willing to give everything for her forever.

One evening, the wind was cold and snow was flying. Li Xiangqian was sorting out the food in the storage room outside when he heard a faint sound coming from the gate of the yard. He walked over and found a ragged homeless man huddled at the gate, his face pale, obviously affected by the severe cold.

Li Xiangqian's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward: "Are you okay? Do you want to come into the house to warm up?"

The homeless man raised his head, his eyes full of fatigue and vigilance, but he was obviously unable to refuse Li Xiangqian's kindness. Li Xiangqian helped him into the house. Lou Xiao'e heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing the homeless man's appearance, she immediately took out some hot water and clean clothes and helped him wash and change.

The homeless man gradually regained some strength in the warm house. He sat by the stove, drank the hot soup handed to him by Lou Xiao'e, and said gratefully: "Thank you, I haven't eaten anything hot for several days."

Li Xiangqian asked gently, "How did you get here? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

The homeless man sighed and whispered, "I wandered here from another city. I originally wanted to find a job, but for various reasons I have not been able to settle down. I couldn't hold on any longer these days, so I came here."
