Chapter 238 Welcome at any time

Li Xiangqian held He Yuzhu's hand gratefully: "Thank you, Brother He, I will definitely work hard."

After returning to the courtyard, Li Xiangqian told Qin Huairu his idea. Qin Huairu was surprised and moved. She didn't expect Li Xiangqian to consider her so carefully and even consult He Yuzhu.

"Xiang Qian, are you really willing to do this with me?" Qin Huairu asked in disbelief.

Li Xiangqian looked at her and said firmly: "Huai Ru, I am willing to face everything with you. We can start small and take it step by step. As long as we don't give up, there will always be good days."

Qin Huairu felt warm in her heart and nodded: "Okay, let's work together. I will do my best to make good handicrafts, and I hope we can have a good start."

From that day on, Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu started to get busy. They used the evening time to make handicrafts together. Li Xiangqian was responsible for preparing the materials, while Qin Huairu made them carefully. Xiaohua also helped by the side. The family was happy and life seemed to have new hope.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu's handicrafts gradually became famous in the courtyard. Neighbors came to buy them one after another, and some even helped to promote them. Li Xiangqian felt relieved. He knew that this was just the beginning, but this beginning was enough for him and Qin Huairu to see hope.

"Xiang Qian, I didn't expect our products to be so popular." Qin Huairu looked at the order in his hand and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Li Xiangqian smiled and nodded: "Yes, as long as we work hard, there will always be people who appreciate it. Huairu, your craftsmanship is really good. We can try to make more things."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Xiangqian and felt very relieved. She knew that with Li Xiangqian by her side, her and Xiaohua's lives would definitely get better and better. They faced the challenges of life together, worked hard together, and greeted every new day together.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu's handicraft business gradually stabilized, but Li Xiangqian always had a dream in his heart - to open his own barber shop. He had a strong interest in haircutting since he was a child, and his master had taught him some haircutting techniques. He felt that haircutting could not only bring a stable income, but also allow him to realize his childhood dream.

On a quiet night, Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu sat at a small table in the yard, enjoying their rare leisure time. Li Xiangqian wondered whether he should tell Qin Huairu about his idea, but he was a little hesitant, wondering if she would support him.

"Huai Ru, I have something to discuss with you." Li Xiangqian finally plucked up the courage to speak.

Qin Huairu put down the work in his hands and looked at Li Xiangqian: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have always had a dream, which is to open my own barber shop. I think this will not only bring a stable income, but also allow me to realize my ideals."

Qin Huairu was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then smiled: "Xiang Qian, I support you. You are so talented, you will definitely be able to run a good barber shop."

Li Xiangqian felt warm inside, but he was still a little worried: "But, opening a barber shop requires a lot of capital, and I'm afraid our current savings are not enough."

Qin Huairu held Li Xiangqian's hand and said firmly, "Xiangqian, we can work together. I can continue to make handicrafts and earn some extra income. You can also work in someone else's barber shop first to accumulate some experience and funds. Let's take it step by step and don't rush for success."

Li Xiangqian looked at Qin Huairu gratefully, and the worries in his heart seemed to disappear all at once. He knew that Qin Huairu had always been his strongest backer, and with her support, he was not afraid of anything.

In the following days, Li Xiangqian started working in a nearby barber shop. He studied every skill carefully, not missing any details. Whenever he returned to the courtyard, Qin Huairu would always ask him about his day, and the two would share the details of their lives. During this time, Li Xiangqian's barbering skills improved by leaps and bounds, and his craftsmanship was increasingly recognized by customers.

One day, Li Xiangqian finished a day's work and returned to the courtyard. He saw Qin Huairu busy in the yard. He walked over and asked softly, "Huairu, how is business today?"

Qin Huairu looked up at him and replied with a smile: "Not bad, I sold a lot of things. How about you? How was your day?"

Li Xiangqian nodded: "It's good. I learned a new hairdressing technique today. The hairdresser in the shop praised me for my great progress."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu showed a gratified smile on her face: "Xiang Qian, you are really great. I believe that you can run a good barber shop."

Li Xiangqian felt warm in his heart. He knew that Qin Huairu's support was his greatest motivation. Whenever he felt tired, he thought of Qin Huairu and Xiaohua and felt that everything was worth it.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian's savings gradually increased. He and Qin Huairu planned to open a small barber shop. They chose a place with a large flow of people and rented a small shop. Although the shop was simple, Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu worked together to decorate it warmly and neatly.

On the opening day, neighbors from the courtyard came to show their support. He Yuzhu also came. He patted Li Xiangqian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiangqian, you have run a good store. I will be your regular customer in the future."

Li Xiangqian smiled and nodded: "Brother He, you are welcome anytime."

Qin Huairu stood aside, watching the busy Li Xiangqian, her heart filled with joy and emotion. She knew that this barber shop was not only Li Xiangqian's dream, but also the result of their joint efforts. She believed that as long as they continued to support each other like this, the future would be even better.

Life in the courtyard was still dull and busy, but Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu were full of hope. They welcomed and sent off customers in the barber shop, working hard for their dreams every day. Li Xiangqian's barber shop gradually became famous in the surrounding area, and more and more people came to visit. Li Xiangqian's skills were recognized by everyone, and his self-confidence grew stronger.

One evening, Li Xiangqian finished his work for the day and returned to the courtyard. He saw Qin Huairu telling a story to Xiaohua. He walked over, gently picked up Xiaohua, and said to Qin Huairu with a smile: "Huairu, I have good news for you."

Qin Huairu looked up at him and asked with a smile, "What good news?"
