Chapter 249 is full of warmth

Xiaofang smiled gently and said, "Yes, Brother Yuzhu, I heard from Xiangqian that you are good at growing vegetables. Can you teach me? I also want to grow some vegetables at home."

After hearing this, the tension on He Yuzhu's face gradually eased. He nodded and said, "Of course. I can also help you when I'm free. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

The two began to talk about growing vegetables, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Li Xiangqian looked at them and felt relieved. He knew that He Yuzhu and Xiaofang had developed feelings for each other, and this was just a good start.

After the party, Li Xiangqian walked up to He Yuzhu and asked softly, "How was it? Did you feel good?"

He Yuzhu smiled shyly and said, "Well, Xiaofang is fine. Thank you, Brother Xiangqian."

Li Xiangqian patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You're welcome. I just hope you can find your own happiness. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. We are all family."

In the following days, He Yuzhu and Xiaofang gradually became familiar with each other. They often discussed vegetable growing techniques and took care of the vegetable garden together. The feelings between them gradually deepened with day-to-day exchanges. The residents in the courtyard saw this and were happy for them. The courtyard was filled with warmth and joy.

One evening, Li Xiangqian was walking on the stone road of the courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his shoulders, thinking about recent events. He was pleased with the changes in the courtyard, but he also realized that he needed some time to relax. Suddenly, he remembered the time when he went fishing with his father by the river when he was a child, and a trace of nostalgia rose in his heart.

“Maybe I can start fishing again,” Li Xiangqian thought. “Not only would it be a good way to relax, but I could also bring back some fresh fish to improve everyone’s meals.”

So Li Xiangqian decided to buy a fishing rod. He knew there was an old fishing tackle shop near the courtyard. The owner there was a fishing expert who often gave people professional advice. The next morning, Li Xiangqian went to the fishing tackle shop and opened the door.

"Welcome!" The boss was a kind middle-aged man. When he saw Li Xiangqian coming in, he smiled warmly and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Boss, I want to buy a fishing rod. I want to start fishing soon. Do you have any recommendations?"

The boss nodded, took Li forward to the fishing rod area, pointed at several fishing rods and said, "These are the best-selling fishing rods in our store. I can give you some suggestions based on your needs and budget."

Li Xiangqian listened carefully to the boss's introduction, thinking in his mind. He recalled the time when he went fishing with his father when he was a child, and his heart was filled with nostalgia and expectation.

"This fishing rod looks good," Li Xiangqian said, pointing to a medium-priced fishing rod. "Do you think it's suitable for me?"

The boss picked up the fishing rod, looked at it carefully, and nodded, saying, "This fishing rod is very cost-effective and suitable for novices and those with some experience. And its material is very light, so you won't feel too tired even if you use it for a long time."

Li Xiangqian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let's go with this one. And please recommend me some suitable baits and accessories."

The boss selected some necessary fishing equipment for Li Xiangqian and carefully explained the purpose and use of each item. Li Xiangqian was very satisfied. After paying the bill, he returned to the courtyard with the newly bought fishing rod and accessories.

Back at the courtyard, Li Xiangqian couldn't wait to show his "trophy" to his neighbors. When the neighbors saw that Li Xiangqian had bought a fishing rod, they also expressed their support and appreciation.

"Xiang Qian, are you going to go fishing?" Aunt Zhang, the neighbor, asked with a smile, "Didn't you like fishing very much in the past?"

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Yes, I've been thinking about finding something to relax recently. Fishing can not only relax me, but I can also bring back some fresh fish to improve the food for everyone."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu came over and said excitedly: "Brother Xiangqian, I also like fishing. Let's go together! This way I can also learn your fishing skills."

Li Xiangqian patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the river early tomorrow morning. You can also bring your fishing gear and we can fish together."

The next morning, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu brought their fishing gear to the river near the courtyard. The river was clear and the trees were shady, making it an ideal fishing spot. Li Xiangqian skillfully assembled his fishing rod, cast the bait, and then sat by the river and waited quietly.

"Brother Xiang Qian, did you often come here to fish when you were a child?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

Li Xiangqian nodded, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes: "Yes, I often came here to fish with my dad when I was a child. At that time, we used very simple bamboo poles, but we could catch a lot of fish every time. Those were really wonderful times."

He Yuzhu sighed: "Fishing is really a very interesting thing. It not only relaxes the mind, but also allows you to calm down and think."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Yes, fishing brings back many good memories. Now that we have a new courtyard, I hope to continue these good traditions so that everyone can feel the joy of life."

As time went by, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu's hooks began to respond. Fish were caught one after another, and the two worked well together to catch a lot of fresh fish. As the sun rose higher, Li Xiangqian looked at the full bucket of fish, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Back at the courtyard, the residents were very happy to see the fish that Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu brought back. Everyone worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Li Xiangqian looked at everyone's happy faces, and his heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction. He knew that this was not just an ordinary dinner, but also the result of everyone's joint efforts and a symbol of happiness.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu decided to go fishing again. This time, they planned to camp by the river and enjoy a full weekend of fishing. Li Xiangqian was a little excited. This was not only a chance to relax, but also a chance to have a deep exchange with He Yuzhu. He hoped to take this opportunity to learn more about He Yuzhu's concerns and relax himself.

In the morning, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu carried their equipment and set foot on the path leading to the river. Along the way, He Yuzhu seemed particularly excited, jumping up and down from time to time like a child.

"Brother Xiang Qian, how many fish do you think we can catch this time?" He Yuzhu asked as they walked, with anticipation in his eyes.

Li Xiangqian said with a smile: "Fishing is all about mentality. How much you can catch is not the most important thing, what is important is the process. This time we are not only fishing, but also enjoying nature and relaxing ourselves."
