Xu Mingjie took out a stack of manuscript paper from the bookshelf and handed it to Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye took it and read it carefully. Her eyes were focused, and she smiled and fell into deep thought. Xu Mingjie watched quietly, his heart full of expectation and nervousness.

After reading, Ran Qiuye put down the manuscript, looked up, and his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Mingjie, you write so well! These stories make me feel like I'm back in my childhood, back to that courtyard full of warmth and laughter." Ran Qiuye said excitedly, "I really admire you. You write every detail of our lives so vividly."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Qiuye." Xu Mingjie smiled. "Your opinion is very important to me. I will continue to work hard to write these stories better."

Ran Qiuye nodded, his eyes full of determination. "Mingjie, I have decided to stay in Beijing and continue the story of this courtyard with you. I want to record more things and more people, and I can't let these precious memories be buried by time."

Xu Mingjie was delighted. "That's great, Qiuye. With you and me together, we can definitely tell the story of this courtyard more vividly."

In the following days, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye worked together, returning to every corner of the quadrangle to interview the people who once lived here. Every story was full of real emotions, and every detail made them feel extremely precious.

One day, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye came to the home of an old resident. The old resident was an old man in his seventies, his surname was Chen, and everyone called him Grandpa Chen. Grandpa Chen had lived in the courtyard all his life and knew every corner of the place like the back of his hand.

"Grandpa Chen, can you tell us the story of this place?" Ran Qiuye asked gently.

"Of course." Grandpa Chen said with a smile, "I'm happy that you young people are willing to listen."

Grandpa Chen sat on a chair and began to tell his story. He recalled the scenes of playing with his friends in the courtyard when he was a child, talked about the days when his parents worked hard in the courtyard, and talked about how he and his wife met and fell in love here, and lived together until now.

"This courtyard is my home and the memory of my life." Grandpa Chen said with emotion, "I hope you can record these stories and let more people know that the courtyard is not just a kind of building, it carries the life and emotions of our generation."

After listening to Grandpa Chen's story, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye were deeply moved. They became more determined to record these stories. They knew that there was a deep emotion behind each story, and every detail was worth cherishing and passing on.

As time went by, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye's work became more and more in-depth. They not only recorded stories, but also began to explore the history and culture of the Siheyuan. They found that the architectural design and layout of the Siheyuan contained profound traditional culture and wisdom. This unique lifestyle is particularly precious in modern society.

One day, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye came to the home of an old neighbor in the courtyard. The old neighbor's surname was Li, and he was a retired architect who had in-depth research on the architectural structure and design of the courtyard.

"Uncle Li, can you tell us about the architectural design of the courtyard house?" Xu Mingjie asked respectfully.

"Of course." Uncle Li said with a smile, "The design of the Siheyuan is very particular. It is not just for living, but also a reflection of a lifestyle."

Uncle Li began to explain in detail the architectural structure and design concept of the Siheyuan. He talked about the layout of the Siheyuan, the purpose of each room, and how the courtyard of the Siheyuan provides a comfortable living environment for residents. Uncle Li's explanation was easy to understand and benefited Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye a lot.

"Look, this is the main room, the most important room in the house, usually used to receive guests and hold important family events." Uncle Li pointed to a room and said, "And this is the wing room, where the family lives on a daily basis. The layout of the courtyard is very reasonable, and each room has its specific purpose."

"Uncle Li, your research on Siheyuan is really in-depth." Ran Qiuye exclaimed, "We hope to record this knowledge so that more people can understand the charm of Siheyuan."

"Okay, I'm glad you have such an idea." Uncle Li said with a smile, "Siheyuan is an important part of our culture. I hope you can pass on this culture through your efforts."

With the help of Uncle Li, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye gradually gained a deeper understanding of the architecture and design of the Siheyuan. They not only recorded the story, but also began to conduct a systematic study of the culture of the Siheyuan. They hope that through their efforts, more people will understand and cherish this unique cultural heritage.

In this process, the relationship between Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye gradually warmed up. They were not only work partners, but also supported and relied on each other. With each other's company, they overcame difficulties one after another and completed interviews and records again and again.

One night, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye sat in the courtyard of the quadrangle and looked up at the starry sky. The summer night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, and the courtyard was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

"Mingjie, you've worked really hard during this period." Ran Qiuye said softly, "But after seeing the stories we recorded, I think it's all worth it."

"Qiuye, with you by my side, I feel that no difficulty is a big deal." Xu Mingjie held Ran Qiuye's hand and said gently, "Let's work together to pass on these precious memories and culture."

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded, leaning on Xu Mingjie's shoulder. The two of them were full of expectations and longings for the future. They knew that although the road ahead was long, as long as they were with each other, everything would become better.

As time goes by, the work of Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye has gradually yielded results. Their works have not only attracted widespread attention in China, but have also been translated into many languages ​​and become international. Through their works, more and more people have come to know and understand Siheyuan, and this unique cultural heritage.

One day, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye received a letter from abroad. The letter was from a reader who highly appreciated their works and invited them to conduct cultural exchanges and speeches abroad.

"Mingjie, our work has been recognized internationally. What a great honor!" Ran Qiuye said excitedly.
