Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

Liu Ying got up early and found that the snow on the ground was more than 30 centimeters thick. The sky was still snowing heavily. She quickly asked Liu Yi to get up and sweep the snow, and the couple happily started the cleaning work.

They first swept the snow at the door to one side, and then piled the snow in the yard into several large snow piles. Liu Ying also built a cute snowman and put a hat and scarf on it.

After cleaning the yard, they started to clear the snow on the roof. Liu Yi climbed up the ladder and shoveled the snow down with a shovel, while Liu Ying swept the snow aside with a broom. Although the weather was cold, their hearts were warm.

After an hour of unremitting efforts, they finally cleared the snow completely. Looking at the clean and tidy yard and roof, they all showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

At this moment, Liu Ying seemed to suddenly think of something. She turned to look at Liu Yi and said, "Why don't we help the neighbors clear the snow? They are old and it is not very convenient for them to move around." Liu Yi readily agreed and said, "Okay!" With that, the two of them picked up the tools without hesitation and walked towards the neighbor's house.

When the neighbors saw them coming to help, they were filled with gratitude and poured hot water enthusiastically to express their gratitude. Life is difficult nowadays, and most young people go out to make a living, leaving only their elderly parents at home, the neighbors sighed. Liu Ying and Liu Yi enjoyed the steaming hot tea in their hands while chatting happily with their neighbors. On this cold winter day, everyone deeply felt the strong neighborly friendship.

Although this heavy snow has brought some inconvenience to people's daily lives, it has also made people deeply appreciate the care and love from others. In this cold season, everyone's heart is filled with endless warmth.

After helping their neighbors clear the snow, Liu Yi and Liu Ying returned to their home, looking a little tired. Although they were a little tired, they were in a very good mood.

Liu Ying smiled and said to Liu Yi, "We are so happy today! Can we invite the neighbors to our house for dinner? This way we can all get together and have fun." Liu Yi agreed immediately and replied with a smile, "Good idea! I was thinking of doing that too. Let's get ready now." After that, the two of them began to get busy preparing a sumptuous dinner.

Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes. Neighbors came to Liu Yi's house one after another. Everyone sat around the table, enjoying the food and chatting happily. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Liu Ying took out her beloved guitar and played it softly. The beautiful melody flowed in the air, and everyone was attracted by the wonderful music and sang along with the rhythm. The singing and laughter intertwined and echoed in the house, making this originally cold night extremely warm.

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was already late at night. The neighbors thanked Liu Yi and Liu Ying one after another, and said that this gathering was very pleasant. Finally, everyone said good night to each other with a smile, and went home to rest.

The guests' laughter gradually faded away, and the door gently closed, leaving the room quiet and warm. Liu Ying loosened her tightly clenched hands, as if she had removed all her defenses and disguises. She slowly turned around, and her eyes fell gently on Liu Yi. She walked towards him lightly, and every step seemed to be on the clouds, feeling both nervous and full of expectations.

"Xiaoyi, do you... do you love me or not?" Her voice was trembling slightly, her hands twisted unconsciously, and her eyes were full of anxiety and desire. After all, there was an eight-year age gap between them. She was the one who had been protecting him since he was a child, and now she had become the most important partner in his life.

When Liu Yi heard this, his eyes instantly became deep and warm. He gently stretched out his hand and held Liu Ying's soft body in his arms. His embrace was so solid that it seemed to be able to withstand all the wind and rain in the world.

"Aunt, I love you." His voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to flow from the bottom of his heart, with unquestionable sincerity. "Age is not a problem, and identity is not a distance. Since I can remember, you have always been by my side, accompanying me to grow up and giving me warmth. Now, you make me feel unprecedented happiness. I love you, not only because of who you are, but also because every moment with you makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world."

Liu Ying's eyes gradually moistened as she listened to Liu Yi's words. She snuggled tightly against his chest, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, as if the whole world had quieted down, leaving only the two of them.

That night, the moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and onto them, adding a bit of haziness and romance to this warm scene. They smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future and deep love for each other.

As if they were back on their wedding night, the passion and sweetness spread quietly between them again. They slowly moved closer to each other, each movement full of tacit understanding and tenderness, as if time had frozen at this moment, leaving only their deep attachment and reluctance to each other.

The night is still long, but their love is even longer. In this quiet night, the two hearts are closely connected, weaving together their beautiful future.

At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Yi heard someone ringing the copper ring in the yard, so he quickly put on his clothes and went to see what was going on.

He Yuzhu was seen stamping his feet on the ground due to the cold, with his hands on his mouth blowing out hot air. Liu Yi hurriedly opened the gate and let He Yuzhu, whose face was red from the cold, in.

"Brother Zhuzi, what's the matter with you coming to see me so early?"

Liu Yi asked He Yuzhu with a smile.

He Yuzhu tremblingly took out a Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Liu Yi. He also lit a cigarette himself and took a big puff.

After a while, He Yuzhu came back to his senses, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, I've received a job, but the owner doesn't have any meat, so I want you to help me get some. Is that convenient for you?"

"Hahaha! What are you talking about, Brother Zhuzi? If you ask, then there must be one. It must be there even if there isn't one."

Liu Yi took He Yuzhu to the storage room and let He Yuzhu choose whatever he wanted. He Yuzhu took 12 pig trotters, pig heads, three sets of pig offal, and kilograms of pork belly.

"Xiao Yi, it's hard to even get food now, let alone meat!"

Brother Zhuzi, how big of a deal is that? If you need it next time, come to me directly. I don't have it, but I'll find a way to get it for you.

Hearing Liu Yi's words, He Yuzhu's eyes moistened. He patted Liu Yi on the shoulder without saying a word, handed Liu Yi 110 yuan, and turned away.
