Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

After lunch, the snowstorm just stopped. Liu Yi gently took Qin Huairu's hand, and they walked side by side to his parents-in-law. Inside the house, the atmosphere was warm and a little reluctant. Qin Zhang sat on the old wooden chair, tears flashing in her eyes, as if every drop carried endless care and longing for her daughter.

"Huai Ru, you must take good care of yourself over there, and also supervise Liu Yi and don't let him get too tired." Qin Zhang's voice was a little choked with sobs. She held Qin Huai Ru's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, her daughter would disappear before her eyes.

Qin Huairu smiled, tears glistening in her eyes. She comforted her mother softly, "Don't worry, Mom. We will come back often. You and Dad should also take care of your health. We will bring our grandchildren back to see you during the Chinese New Year."

Liu Yi stood aside, watching this scene, with a warm current in his heart. He quietly took out ten big black tens from his pocket, which he specially prepared for his mother-in-law. He walked gently to Qin Zhangshi and quietly put the money into her hand.

"Mom, this is a little gift from me to you. Spend it whenever you have problems. Don't be reluctant. I'll give you more after you've spent it all." Liu Yi's voice was gentle but firm. He knew that this money was not only a material help to his mother-in-law, but also a care and love from her son-in-law.

Qin Zhang was stunned for a moment, and her eyes became redder as she looked at the money in her hand. She looked at Liu Yi gratefully, and her voice trembled a little: "Liu Yi, you are such a good child. Our Qin family is so blessed."

The time of farewell always passed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Liu Yi and Qin Huairu were already standing at the door. They looked back at this home full of warmth and memories, then turned around resolutely and set out on the road home.

Outside the car window, the scenery is picturesque, but Liu Yi and Qin Huairu's hearts are full of thoughts and concerns about home. Qin Huairu gently leans on Liu Yi's shoulder, her eyes shining with longing and expectation for the future.

Finally, the car stopped at the gate of No. 95, Nanluoguxiang. Liu Yi and Qin Huairu smiled at each other.

The heavy snow fell on the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, covering this place full of traces of time with a layer of white. Liu Yi and Qin Huairu walked briskly through the courtyard, their faces filled with anticipation for building a house.

"Second uncle, third uncle, first uncle!" Liu Yi's voice rang out in the yard. He found Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai who were sitting around a fire in the yard.

"Hey, Liu Yi, what's the matter?" The second uncle Liu Haizhong raised his head and looked at Liu Yi curiously.

"Well, I have an idea." Liu Yi paused, then spoke out, "I want to build a house in Qinjiazhuang, which is only 20 kilometers away from the city, and it only takes an hour at most to get there by bike."

"Oh?" Uncle Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he heard that. "That's a nice place, with fresh air and a good environment."

"Yes, and I think this is an opportunity." Liu Yi continued, "Housing is becoming increasingly scarce in the city now, and having a place of my own will be convenient in the future."

At this time, He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu, who had just returned from outside, also joined the discussion. After hearing about Liu Yi's plan, they all expressed great interest.

"This is a good thing!" He Yuzhu patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, "Count me in!"

"I'll do it too!" Jia Dongxu was not willing to be left behind, "Let's do it together, there will be no problem!"

At this time, Xu Damao came back on his bicycle. His bicycle was piled with local specialties given by the people, and it was obvious that he had just returned from a movie screening in the countryside.

"Hey, I heard you guys are going to build a house?" Xu Damao came over immediately upon hearing the rumor. "Count me in! I often ride my bike to the countryside to show movies. Life there is good, but there is no entertainment. I can help you with your entertainment issues. I can show any movie I want."

When everyone in the yard heard this, they all expressed their support. They sat together and began to discuss the details of building the house. The sunshine, laughter, and discussion intertwined together to form a warm and hopeful picture.

Liu Yi looked at everyone's enthusiastic faces, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this project was not just about building a house, but also the common expectation and pursuit of a better life in the future by everyone in the compound.

Liu Haizhong sat in the yard. On the table were all the money collected by people who wanted to build a yard. He held a pipe in his hand and had a proud smile on his face. He was thinking about building a house and how to make this plan more perfect.

"Uncle, this money is now handed over to you. You have to manage it well and don't let anyone suffer any loss!" Liu Haizhong said to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui took the money, counted it, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face. "Don't worry, Second Uncle, I am the most fair person and will not let anyone suffer any loss."

Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and left. Yan Bugui looked at Liu Haizhong's back, feeling proud in his heart. He knew that Liu Haizhong was a face-conscious person, and as long as he coaxed him a little, he would believe him.

Yan Bugui put the money away and began to plan how to use it. He thought about it and thought that he could buy some building materials first and then find some workers to help build the house. This would save costs and ensure quality.

Yan Bugui thought to himself, with a smug smile on his face. He felt that his calculations were really good, and this time the house building would definitely be successful.
