Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Li Xiaoling smiled and said, "I'm not happy with my work, so I want to come back and see my family."

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e also put down her bowl and chopsticks and greeted her warmly: "Xiaoling, come in and sit down. We cooked your favorite dishes today."

Li Xiaoling's eyes lit up and she said happily, "That's great, Sister Xiao'e, the food you cook is what I've always dreamed of!"

However, in the following days, Li Xiangqian gradually discovered that his sister's return was not that simple. Although Li Xiaoling said she came back to rest, she often wandered outside and came home very late at night. Every time she came home, she always looked excited, with restless light flashing in her eyes.

One night, Li Xiaoling did not come home again. Li Xiangqian paced back and forth in the living room, filled with worry and anger. He finally couldn't help but call Li Xiaoling: "Xiaoling, where are you? Why didn't you come back so late?"

Li Xiaoling's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of drunkenness: "Brother, I'm at my friend's house, I'll be back soon."

Li Xiangqian lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoling, you can't do this. We are worried about you. Please come back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiangqian sat on the sofa with a heavy heart. Lou Xiaoe came over and comforted him softly: "Xiangqian, Xiaoling is still young. She may want to play more. Let's give her some more time."

Li Xiangqian sighed: "I know she is still young, but this is not a solution. I need to have a good talk with her."

Not long after, Li Xiaoling finally returned home. Her face was red and her eyes were a little blurry. Li Xiangqian suppressed his anger and asked, "Xiaoling, what have you been doing these days?"

Li Xiaoling muttered: "Brother, don't bother me, I have my own life."

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "Xiaoling, I am your brother, and I have the responsibility to care about you. If you continue like this, you will ruin yourself."

Li Xiaoling heard this and suddenly burst into tears: "Brother, you don't understand me at all! I work so hard outside and just want to relax when I get home, why do you always control me!"

Li Xiangqian didn't know how to answer for a moment. He knew that it was not easy for his sister to work outside, but her current behavior made him very worried. He tried to get closer to her and whispered, "Xiaoling, I just hope you can live well. We are all doing this for your own good."

Li Xiaoling wiped her tears and whispered, "Brother, I know you care about me, but I have my own troubles. My work is not going well, and my relationship is also in trouble. I just want to find a place to hide."

Li Xiangqian felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard this. He hugged his sister and comforted her softly, "Xiaoling, no matter what happens, we will always be by your side. If you have any problems, tell me and I will help you solve them together."

Li Xiaoling gradually calmed down in Li Xiangqian's arms. She raised her head and said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, I'm so tired."

Li Xiangqian touched her head distressedly: "Have a good rest, we will talk about it tomorrow."

The next day, Li Xiangqian took Li Xiaoling to a nearby park to relax. They sat on a bench, and Li Xiangqian patiently listened to his sister's heartfelt words. Li Xiaoling told him that her work in another city was very stressful, her boss was demanding, her relationship with colleagues was complicated, and her boyfriend broke up with her because of the long-distance relationship. All of this made her feel extremely depressed and helpless.

"Brother, I really don't know what to do." After Li Xiaoling said this, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Li Xiangqian held his sister's hand and said firmly: "Xiaoling, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be by your side. We will find a way to solve it together. Don't be afraid."

Li Xiaoling nodded, feeling the support from her brother, her heart was filled with warmth and strength. She decided to pick herself up and face the challenges of life again.

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e helped Li Xiaoling through that period of depression. They went out for walks and chats together, and Li Xiangqian also used his connections to help his sister find a new job. Gradually, Li Xiaoling's mood improved and she began to regain confidence in the future.

One night, Li Xiaoling sat in the living room, watching Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiaoe busy at work, her heart filled with gratitude. She walked up to them, bowed deeply, and said, "Brother, Sister Xiaoe, thank you for your help and concern. I know I was willful before, and I will work hard in the future and not let you worry anymore."

Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e smiled at each other. Li Xiangqian patted his sister on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaoling, it's good that you think this way. We are a family, and it's only right for us to help each other."

Since then, Li Xiaoling began to face life positively, work hard, and gradually integrate into the new working environment. She and Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiaoe also became closer, and the three of them spent many wonderful times together.

However, life is full of ups and downs. Although Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e are becoming more and more emotionally stable, they also know that there are still many challenges waiting for them in the future. Every test makes them more determined to love each other and cherish the happiness in front of them.

One day, Li Xiangqian received a call in the factory from Lou Xiaoe. She said nervously, "Xiangqian, I just received a call saying that there is a loan that must be paid off immediately, otherwise there will be trouble."

Li Xiangqian was shocked: "We don't have any loans, this must be a scam."

"But the other party spoke with certain details and even knew our home address and some detailed information." There was a hint of uneasiness in Lou Xiao'e's voice.

Li Xiangqian frowned and said, "This is a bit strange. Maybe someone is targeting us on purpose. Don't worry. I'll be home soon."

After returning home, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e analyzed the situation and decided to go to the bank to check their accounts. The bank staff confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their accounts and there was no record of any loans. Li Xiangqian was relieved, but he knew that someone must be behind this.

"We have to be careful. Someone might be targeting us on purpose." Li Xiangqian said to Lou Xiao'e, "Has anyone mentioned money to you recently?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "No, everything has been normal during this period."

Li Xiangqian realized that his sister Li Xiaoling needed a more stable and regular life. After careful consideration, he decided to send Li Xiaoling to live in the school, which would not only give her a better learning environment, but also help her get rid of some bad social circles.
