Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Lou Xiao'e nodded, "Then I'll go with you, so I can help."

Li Xiangqian felt a warm feeling. He held Lou Xiaoe's hand and said softly, "Okay, I'm more motivated to have you accompany me."

After they had a simple breakfast, they prepared to go to the market. The wind outside was very cold. Li Xiangqian tightened his coat and looked at Lou Xiao'e beside him. He couldn't help but worry. He reminded her, "Xiao'e, it's windy outside. Wear more clothes and don't get cold."

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, "You too, don't just focus on taking care of me, you also have to take care of yourself."

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and they felt much more relaxed. When they arrived at the market, they began to carefully select grains and vegetables. Li Xiangqian held a bag full of rice and turned back to ask Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, how about this rice? It looks good."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, "Yes, this is good. Let's take a look at other things and buy more vegetables and meat so that they can be stored longer."

Li Xiangqian was touched. He knew that Lou Xiao'e always took care of their lives, and he cherished her company even more. They were busy in the market for a whole morning, buying enough food and vegetables, and picking some fresh meat. After Li Xiangqian paid, he looked at the things in his hand and felt full of satisfaction.

On the way home, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e were walking and chatting, discussing future plans and trivial matters in life. Li Xiangqian suddenly stopped, looked at Lou Xiao'e, and said seriously: "Xiao'e, I know our life is not easy, but as long as you are here, I think everything is worth it."

Lou Xiao'e felt a warm feeling. She held Li Xiangqian's hand and said softly, "Xiangqian, let's work together. The future will definitely be better."

Back at the courtyard, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e began to busy themselves with sorting out the food they had bought. While sorting, Li Xiangqian was thinking about how to better plan their lives so that the family would no longer have to worry about food. He knew that he had a great responsibility, not only to take good care of himself and Lou Xiao'e, but also to lay a solid foundation for the future family.

As night fell, the courtyard was brightly lit. Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e cooked a sumptuous dinner together, and the aroma of the food filled the entire courtyard. While eating, Li Xiangqian looked at the food on the table and felt a sense of satisfaction and gratitude in his heart.

"Xiang Qian, you've worked hard today. Eat more." Lou Xiao'e gently picked up a piece of meat and put it in Li Xiangqian's bowl.

Li Xiangqian felt warm and said with a smile: "Thank you, Xiao'e. With you here, I feel that all the hardship and fatigue are worth it."

After dinner, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e sat in the yard, enjoying the rare quiet time. Li Xiangqian looked at the stars in the night sky, his heart full of hope and longing.

"Xiao E, I'm thinking about how we should plan our lives in the future." Li Xiangqian suddenly said.

Lou Xiao'e leaned on his shoulder and asked softly, "Do you have any ideas?"

Li Xiangqian nodded, "I want to make our lives better and better through my own efforts. I hope you can live a carefree life and no longer worry about the trivialities of life."

Lou Xiao'e looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness, "Move forward, I believe in you. No matter what the future holds, we will face it together and work hard together."

Li Xiangqian felt relieved, knowing that with Lou Xiao'e by his side, he had endless motivation. He held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly and vowed to himself that he would use his efforts and persistence to create a better life for them.

On a sunny weekend, Li Xiangqian decided to take Lou Xiaoe to meet his parents. Although he was a little nervous, he hoped to get his parents' support and blessings. He knew that this was a key step for their relationship to move to a new stage.

In the morning, Li Xiangqian got up early and dressed carefully. He looked at himself in the mirror and encouraged himself. Then he went to the kitchen and saw Lou Xiao'e was already preparing breakfast.

"Xiao E, we are going to my parents' house today. I have already told them and they are looking forward to seeing you." Li Xiangqian said softly.

Lou Xiao'e raised her head, a hint of nervousness and expectation flashed in her eyes, "Xiang Qian, I'm a little nervous, will your parents like me?"

Li Xiangqian stepped forward, held her hand, and said gently: "Xiao'e, you are so kind and smart, they will definitely like you. Don't worry, everything will go well."

After breakfast, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e set out for his parents' home. Along the way, Li Xiangqian kept talking to Lou Xiao'e about his parents, trying to make her relax.

"My father is a serious but kind-hearted man, and my mother is very enthusiastic and cheerful. They are both very kind," said Li Xiangqian.

Lou Xiao'e nodded and responded with a smile, "I will try to relax and hope to leave a good impression on them."

Walking into his parents' home, Li Xiangqian felt a warm and familiar smell. His mother was busy in the kitchen and came out to greet them immediately when she saw them coming in.

"Xiang Qian, you are here! This is Xiao E, right? Come in quickly, don't stand at the door." The mother said with a smile on her face.

Li Xiangqian felt relieved. He pulled Lou Xiao'e into the house and introduced her: "Mom, this is Xiao'e. Xiao'e, this is my mother."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and greeted, "Hello, Auntie, nice to meet you."

The mother held Lou Xiao'e's hand warmly, her eyes full of appreciation, "Good child, sit down and have a rest. Xiang Qian's father is in the backyard, we will have dinner together later."

Soon, my father came back from the backyard. He looked a little serious, but when he saw Lou Xiao'e, a kind smile appeared on his face. "Xiao'e, right? Welcome, welcome. Xiang Qian often mentioned you."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said hello, feeling a little warmth. Her father asked everyone to sit down and started chatting. Li Xiangqian observed the expressions of his parents and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that everything was moving in a good direction.

It was lunch time, and his mother prepared a sumptuous meal. During the meal, Li Xiangqian and his parents talked about their work and life, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Lou Xiao'e also joined in, talking about her interests and work, and her parents' impression of her became better and better.

After dinner, the mother suggested taking a walk in a nearby park. Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e walked along the path in the park with their parents, feeling the long-lost family warmth. The father suddenly stopped, looked at Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e, and said solemnly: "Xiangqian, Xiao'e, we know about your situation. Xiao'e is a good girl, and we like her very much. You should get along well and support each other."
