With a heart full of longing and love, Liu Pingan once again stepped into Xu Huizhen's familiar courtyard full of warmth and atmosphere. Although he had a lot of words in his heart, his steps were light and cheerful. At this moment, he was not in a hurry to put the matter of having a child on the table, because he knew that Xu Huizhen's motherly love for Xu Jingli had already filled her heart.

Liu Ping'an's eyes were gentle as water, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile. He walked towards Xu Huizhen gently, as if he was afraid of breaking the beauty of this tranquility. When he came to Xu Huizhen's side, the two smiled at each other, without words, the deep affection flowed out naturally.

After a sweet kiss, Liu Pingan carefully took out a carefully wrapped small gift from his arms. With a gleam of anticipation in his eyes, he happily handed it to Xu Jingli and said softly, "Jingli, this is something your uncle prepared especially for you. Open it and see if you like it." Xu Jingli took the gift with a look of surprise, with a gleam of curiosity and joy in her eyes, and thanked Liu Pingan repeatedly.

Then, Liu Pingan nervously reached into his pocket and fumbled around, then carefully took something out. His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of damaging the mysterious item.

Then, he handed it to Xu Huizhen, with a hint of shyness and expectation in his eyes. Xu Huizhen took the object wrapped tightly in old newspapers with doubts, gently opened it, and what came into her eyes was a yellowed book.

The cover of the book has some signs of wear and tear, but it can be seen that it has been carefully cared for by the owner. Xu Huizhen's eyes flashed with surprise and touching. This book has a special meaning to her. When she was young, she always wanted to own such a book, but for various reasons she never got her wish.

Now, this precious gift appeared in front of her, making her feel extremely warm. "Ping An, you are really..." Xu Huizhen was so excited that she couldn't speak, tears welled up in her eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered an interesting thing at home and couldn't help laughing. She told Liu Ping'an that the wolf in their house had given birth to a litter of puppies with the dog outside, which made her feel both funny and helpless.

When Liu Ping'an heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment and his mouth opened wide in disbelief, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "What? Wolves and dogs? This... this world is really becoming more and more incomprehensible!" As he spoke, he shook his head vigorously, a bitter smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and there was both surprise and helplessness in his eyes, as if at this moment, his understanding of the world was completely overturned.

Liu Pingan smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head again, trying to get rid of this absurd thing from his mind. Then, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, changed the topic, and enthusiastically invited Xu Huizhen: "Huizhen, my family will hold a moving party next week, you must come, let's have fun together."

When Xu Huizhen heard this, a look of hesitation immediately appeared on her face. She pursed her lips, her eyes flickering, and said softly: "Ping'an, of course I want to go, but when I think of your wife Qin Jingru, I feel a little panicked." As she spoke, she unconsciously raised her hand and gently stroked the strands of hair on her forehead, looking a little uneasy.

Seeing Xu Huizhen's hesitation, Liu Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward, held her hand tightly, and said sincerely: "Huizhen, don't think too much! Jingru is a smart person, she knows our friendship over the years! You should just treat this as an ordinary visit, and we old friends can get together and reminisce about the past."

Xu Huizhen looked up at Liu Ping'an and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity and expectation. The worries in her heart gradually dissipated, and she finally nodded gently to show her agreement.

Then, the two of them changed the topic and began to discuss the next arrangements. Liu Pingan looked around, his eyes fell on the thick snow in the yard, and frowned and said, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier. If it is not cleaned up, it will probably get thicker and thicker, and then even the roof will be crushed."

Xu Huizhen immediately put down the teacup in her hand, quickly picked up the broom beside her, and replied with a smile: "Yes, let's get started! We can clean together, which can not only exercise our bodies but also solve the problem."

So, the two of them began to work enthusiastically in the yard. They swept the snow on the ground together, and climbed up to the roof from time to time to clean the snow. They cooperated well and laughed continuously.

Despite the cold weather, their enthusiasm filled the whole yard with warmth. Every sound of the broom hitting the snow seemed to be a testimony of their friendship.

Liu Pingan wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled with satisfaction. After half a day's hard work, the yard finally returned to its former neatness. He slowly stood up and looked across the yard, every corner of which exuded comfort and tranquility.

Xu Huizhen also came over with a smile and gently patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder, her eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Ping'an. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how long this yard would have been in chaos."

Liu Ping'an waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you being so polite to me? We have been friends for so many years, this little thing is nothing."

He paused, then said, "Huizhen, I have to go. I'll come to see you another day when I'm free. Oh, by the way, I think our little wolfhound is pretty smart, can I take one home? It can just watch over the house."

Xu Huizhen laughed. She knew Liu Ping'an had always liked these small animals, and his home was not far from here, so she nodded and agreed readily: "Okay, Brother Ping'an. Just pick one."

Liu Pingan walked to the puppy kennel and carefully observed each wolfhound. They were all very cute, with furry bodies and round eyes, making people want to hug them. Finally, he picked out the most lively wolfhound and held it carefully in his arms.

"This is it. It looks very smart." Liu Ping'an said happily.

Xu Huizhen smiled and nodded, with a gentle light in her eyes. She knew that Liu Ping'an always liked these little guys, and she believed that he would take good care of this little wolfdog.

Liu Pingan held the little wolf dog and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he turned back and reminded Xu Huizhen: "Huizhen, don't forget to come to the moving party!"

Xu Huizhen stood at the door, smiling and waving goodbye to him. She knew that even though time passed, their friendship would remain as solid as a rock. This small courtyard witnessed their friendship for many years, and this deep emotion would accompany them for many more years.
