Chapter 239 Mysterious

Qin Huairu nodded in agreement. "Good idea. Everyone has been working hard recently. It's only right that we improve the food."

Li Xiangqian left the courtyard with a smile and walked towards the nearby market. He was thinking along the way, thinking about what to buy. Usually everyone ate simple food, this time he wanted to let everyone eat something richer. He walked to the market, saw the pork belly on the meat stall, and thought of the smiles on everyone's faces, and his heart was full of expectations.

"Boss, give me ten pounds of pork belly." Li Xiangqian said loudly, and the meat stall owner came forward enthusiastically.

"Okay, young man, are you planning a big banquet?" the boss asked with a smile.

Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "Yes, everyone has worked hard during this period, and I want to improve their food."

The boss said as he weighed the meat: "Young people are thoughtful, and everyone will be happy."

Li Xiangqian returned to the courtyard with the fresh pork belly in his hand. When the neighbors saw the meat in his hand, they gathered around him.

"Xiang Qian, there is so much meat, are we going to have a big meal today?" Aunt Wang asked with a smile.

Li Xiangqian nodded, "Yes, everyone has worked hard during this period, let's celebrate today."

Qin Huairu also came over, "Step forward, I'll help you, let's do it together."

"Okay, Sister Huairu, you are much more dexterous than me, let's do it together." Li Xiangqian responded with a smile.

Everyone was busy in the yard, some were washing vegetables, some were cutting meat, and some were making fire. The whole yard was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was particularly warm. Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu were busy in the kitchen. While cutting meat, Li Xiangqian said, "Sister Huairu, everyone has been very hard during this period. I think we should hold some gatherings like this more often to let everyone relax."

Qin Huairu nodded while cooking, "Xiang Qian, your idea is good. In fact, everyone likes this kind of gathering. It makes us feel comfortable to eat and chat together."

Dishes were served one after another, and the aroma filled the air. Neighbors gathered around. Li Xiangqian raised a glass of wine and said loudly: "Everyone, we have worked together to take care of the farmland so well during this period. Let's relax today and celebrate our harvest!"

"Cheers!" Everyone responded in unison, with laughter and the sound of glasses clinking intertwined.

At the dinner table, Uncle Li said while eating pork belly: "Xiao Li, this meat is so delicious. We haven't eaten such good food for a long time."

Li Xiangqian responded with a smile, "Uncle, everyone has worked hard, we must eat and drink well today."

After dinner, everyone sat in the yard and chatted, while the children played and fought. Li Xiangqian looked at all this, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. He knew that this was not just a meal, but also a manifestation of unity and mutual assistance. Everyone in the courtyard was a family, and everyone worked together and shared joy together, which was the most important thing.

Late at night, Li Xiangqian lay on his bed, thinking about everything that happened today. He felt extremely satisfied and fulfilled. Although there are still many challenges ahead, he believes that as long as everyone is united, no difficulties can stop them from moving forward.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian got up early again and started his day's work. He knew that the work of cultivating the land was far from over and there was still a lot to do. But he was not afraid of difficulties, because he knew that with the support of the big family of Siheyuan behind him, he would definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and create a better life.

As the days passed, Li Xiangqian and his neighbors continued to work hard on the land. In every season, different crops thrived here. With the joint efforts of everyone, the farmland in the courtyard became more and more fertile and became the most beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

One day, Li Xiangqian was busy in the field when he heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw that it was Xiao Liu. "Xiangqian, there is something wrong here, come and take a look!"

Li Xiangqian quickly ran over and found that the crops in a field were not growing well. After a careful inspection, he said, "Xiao Liu, the soil here may need some more organic fertilizer. Let's prepare it right away."

Xiao Liu nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll get it right away."

Li Xiangqian said excitedly: "Today a big customer came to the store. He was very satisfied with my craftsmanship and even said he would help me introduce more customers."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu showed a gratified smile on her face: "Xiang Qian, you are really great. I always believe that you will get better and better."

Li Xiangqian looked at Qin Huairu with gratitude, his heart full of longing and hope for the future. He knew that with Qin Huairu by his side, his barber shop would definitely get better and better, and their lives would definitely become happier and happier.

Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu's life gradually got back on track, and the barber shop's business was getting better and better. In the busy days, Li Xiangqian always kept one person in mind - He Yuzhu. He was not only Li Xiangqian's mentor and helpful friend, but also a recognized good man in the courtyard. He Yuzhu was not young anymore, but he had never married. Li Xiangqian was always thinking about how to help him marry a virtuous wife.

One weekend night, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu sat at the stone table in the yard drinking tea. Seeing that He Yuzhu was still alone, Li Xiangqian couldn't help but said, "Brother He, I have something in my heart, and I want to talk to you today."

He Yuzhu smiled and looked at Li Xiangqian: "What's the matter, Xiangqian? You are so mysterious."

Li Xiangqian said seriously: "Brother He, you are such a good person, but it's a pity that you haven't got married for so many years. I want to help you find a suitable girl, what do you think?"

He Yuzhu laughed after hearing this: "Is there anyone who wants my old bones? Xiang Qian, stop joking."

Li Xiangqian shook his head seriously: "Brother He, I'm not kidding. You've always been so good to me, and now I want to do something for you. I know a girl from the neighborhood who is very virtuous and is also looking for a partner. I can help you two get in touch."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu's smile gradually faded and he fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said, "Xiang Qian, thank you for your kindness. It's not that I don't want to get married, but I feel that I'm old and I'm afraid of delaying others."

Li Xiangqian said firmly: "Brother He, anyone who can be with you is lucky. Besides, you still have many years of good life to live. Don't give up your happiness just because of your age."

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, since you said so, let's give it a try. However, I don't want to force others, you have to explain it clearly to the girl first."
