Siheyuan: Dongfang Bubai is in his arms, and all the beasts are eliminated

"Sister Xiao'e, I don't have classes today, so I can help you look for it." There was a sincere light in Yang Liming's eyes.

Lou Xiao'e nodded gratefully: "Okay, Limin, I feel much more at ease with you accompanying me."

The two walked along the streets and alleys near the construction sites and began their search. They visited small hotels one by one, hoping to find a place with reasonable prices and comfortable environment. Although the journey was full of hardships, Lou Xiao'e and Yang Limin never gave up.

The owner of the first hotel told them: "We don't have many rooms here, and there is often noise near the construction site. It may not be suitable for your friends."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and thanked him, then continued walking. Yang Limin looked at her determined back and felt a surge of admiration in his heart.

The environment of the second hotel was not bad, but the price was beyond their budget. The owner said: "Our rooms are more spacious, so the price is relatively higher."

Lou Xiao'e and Yang Limin expressed their gratitude again and continued to search. They walked through countless alleys and visited every corner near the construction site, but still could not find a truly suitable place.

At noon, when the sun was high in the sky, Lou Xiao'e and Yang Limin sat down at a small stall on the street and ate a bowl of hot noodles. Lou Xiao'e wiped the sweat from her forehead, but her eyes were still full of determination.

"Limin, let's keep looking. I believe there will be a suitable place." Lou Xiao'e said, her voice revealing an indomitable strength.

Yang Limin nodded, his heart full of motivation: "Sister Xiao'e, if we work together, we will definitely find it."

They continued to move forward and visited more hotels. Some hotels had good environment but were too far from the construction site; some hotels had reasonable prices but poor sanitary conditions. Each hotel made their hopes rise and fall again and again, but Lou Xiaoe never gave up.

Finally, as it got dark, they arrived at a small hotel not far from the construction site. The owner was a kind middle-aged woman who greeted them warmly when she saw them coming: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Lou Xiao'e briefly introduced the situation, and the middle-aged woman nodded and took them to visit several rooms. Although the rooms were not big, they were clean and tidy, and the price was reasonable. Most importantly, the hotel was close to the construction site, which was convenient for my friend's work and life.

"This place is really nice, the environment is great and the price is reasonable." Yang Liming looked at Lou Xiao'e with joy in his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Yes, this place is suitable. Thank you, boss, we decided to stay here."

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad to help you. Your friend will definitely feel comfortable living here."

Back at the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e and Yang Limin both felt a sense of relief and satisfaction. Although they had walked a lot and spent a lot of time that day, they finally found a suitable place to live and solved a big problem for their friend.

"Limin, thank you so much today. Without your help, I don't know how far I would have gone." Lou Xiao'e said gratefully.

Yang Limin smiled and shook his head: "Sister Xiao'e, this is what I should do. Seeing you help your friends so wholeheartedly, I have also learned a lot."

As night fell, the courtyard returned to peace. Yang Limin lay on the bed, thinking about his experience during the day, his heart filled with admiration for Lou Xiao'e and hope for the future. He knew that life was full of challenges, but as long as he had confidence and determination, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and find his own path.

Lou Xiao'e was in her room, thinking about the new hotel her friend was going to stay in, and she felt warm in her heart. She knew that this was just a small episode in their lives, but it was full of meaning and value. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she believed that as long as she had love and hope in her heart, she would be able to find her own happiness.

Finally I saw Xu Damao at a roadside stall

The next morning, Yang Limin got up early to go to school, but he was still thinking about the small hotel he and Lou Xiao'e had found yesterday. He thought of his friend and the place where he was going to stay, and he couldn't help but feel gratified for their hard work.

After the morning class, Yang Limin hurried back to the courtyard and happened to see Lou Xiao'e coming back from outside. They met in the courtyard, and Lou Xiao'e had a smile on her face.

"Sister Xiao'e, has our friend checked in?" Yang Liming asked with concern.

Lou Xiao'e nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, she moved in early this morning and is very satisfied with the environment there. This is all thanks to your help yesterday."

Yang Limin smiled, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "This is our joint effort. Sister Xiao'e, if you have time, let's go to that roadside stall to eat something. I'll treat you."

Lou Xiao'e readily agreed, and the two walked out of the courtyard together and came to a snack stand on the corner of the street. Although the stall was simple, the food was very delicious and it was always surrounded by customers. The two found an empty table, ordered a few snacks, and sat down to enjoy them slowly.

While they were chatting happily, Yang Limin accidentally saw a familiar figure queuing in front of the stall not far away. He was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a somewhat weathered face, but he could vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth.

"Sister Xiao'e, is that person Xu Damao?" Yang Liming said in a low voice with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e followed his gaze and saw that it was indeed Xu Damao. Xu Damao had been their neighbor in the courtyard, but later left because of a job transfer. After not seeing him for many years, he looked a little haggard, but he still maintained his former demeanor.

"It's really Xu Damao." Lou Xiao'e was also a little surprised, but then she smiled and said, "Let's go say hello."

They stood up and walked towards Xu Damao, who was waiting for the boss to hand him a bowl of steaming noodles. When he saw Yang Liming and Lou Xiao'e coming over, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Limin, Xiao'e, long time no see!" Xu Damao greeted them warmly, with a bit of excitement in his voice.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and replied, "Yes, Xu Damao, I didn't expect to meet you here. How have you been recently?"

Xu Damao took the noodles and invited them to sit down, with a wry smile on his face: "After leaving Siheyuan, I went to work in other places and experienced many ups and downs. This time I came back because the company has a project here, and I just wanted to come back to see old friends."

Yang Limin nodded, a trace of concern flashing in his eyes: "Is work going well?"
