Chapter 253 Meet a Girl

In the past few months, Li Xiangqian has used his spare time to carefully prepare, from contacting the venue, arranging the program, to inviting neighbors to participate, he has taken care of every detail. Every night when he lies in bed, the picture of the successful event always emerges in his mind. He believes that this will not only bring joy to everyone, but also enhance the cohesion of the courtyard.

In the morning, Li Xiangqian got up early and began to set up the venue. While hanging the colored lights, he was thinking about today's process. Although the preparations were tedious, he was full of energy because he knew that all the efforts were worth it.

"Xiang Qian, where should we hang the colored lanterns?" Uncle Wang from next door came over, holding a few strings of colored lanterns in his hand, and asked.

Li Xiangqian smiled and pointed to several large trees in the yard. "Uncle Wang, please hang the colored lights on those trees. They will look very beautiful when they light up at night."

Uncle Wang nodded, and sighed in his heart that this young man was really capable. He not only had good skills, but was also very good at organizing activities. After Li Xiangqian finished the lanterns, he began to arrange the positions of the program host and performers. He specially invited several art lovers in the yard, hoping that everyone could show their talents on this platform.

"Xiang Qian, I'm a little nervous. I'm going to perform on stage soon, and I don't know if I can do it." Aunt Zhang said to Li Xiang Qian while preparing the show.

Li Xiangqian patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Auntie, don't be nervous. Everyone is here to see the performance. Just relax and give it your all."

Aunt Zhang nodded, feeling warm in her heart. At this time, the children also gathered around and asked excitedly: "Brother Xiangqian, where can we play our game?"

Li Xiangqian pointed to an empty space nearby and said, "You guys play there for a while. When the event officially starts, there will be many fun games waiting for you!"

The children ran away cheering. Li Xiangqian looked at their backs and his mouth curled up unconsciously. He knew that the children's smiling faces were his greatest motivation. As time went by, neighbors came to the yard one after another, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

The event officially began. Li Xiangqian stood on the stage, picked up the microphone, took a deep breath, smiled and said to everyone: "Dear neighbors, thank you for coming. Today we hold this social gathering in the hope that everyone can get to know each other better and have more exchanges and interactions with each other. I hope everyone has fun and spends a pleasant night."

There was warm applause from the audience, and Li Xiangqian felt a sense of pride. He knew that this was a recognition of all his efforts. The following programs were performed one after another, with songs and dances, crosstalk, and sketches, which were wonderful and everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere.

During the intermission, Li Xiangqian walked aside and silently observed everyone's expressions. Seeing everyone's faces filled with smiles, he felt extremely satisfied. This was what he expected, a courtyard full of warmth and harmony.

The event was in full swing, and Li Xiangqian noticed Qin Huairu standing in the corner, looking a little lonely. He walked over and asked softly, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

Qin Huairu looked up at Li Xiangqian, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she finally said, "Xiangqian, I'm just a little worried about things at home. I'm afraid that this event will cost too much and cause trouble for everyone."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Sister Qin, don't worry. I will pay for most of the expenses of this event myself, and everyone is very supportive. This is not only to make everyone happy, but also to make the Siheyuan more united. We are all a family and should care for and help each other."

Qin Huairu was moved when she heard this. She nodded and said, "Xiang Qian, you are such a good person. Thank you."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Sister Qin, we are all family. This is what I should do." He secretly decided in his heart that he would care more about his neighbors in the future and try his best to help everyone solve the difficulties in life.

As night fell and the colorful lights came on, the whole courtyard was bathed in warm light. Li Xiangqian stood on the stage, watching everyone laughing, and felt a sense of accomplishment. He knew that the future of the courtyard would become better because of everyone's efforts.

After the event, neighbors expressed their gratitude, and Li Xiangqian responded one by one, his inner satisfaction was beyond words. He knew that this was just the beginning, and in the future, he would continue to work hard to make the courtyard more warm and harmonious.

On the way home, Li Xiangqian silently thought about his future plans. He decided to use his skills to continue to do more practical things for the neighbors of Siheyuan, and at the same time, he would continue to improve his abilities and contribute more to the development of Siheyuan. Although the road ahead is full of challenges, he believes that as long as he works hard, he will definitely reap good rewards.

Li Xiangqian stood in the corner of the yard, his eyes fell on He Yuzhu who was repairing a bicycle, thinking to himself. He Yuzhu was a good man, although he had a bad temper, he was kind-hearted and had always taken good care of his neighbors. Li Xiangqian felt that it was time to help him find a suitable partner and let him have a family.

That evening, Li Xiangqian walked up to He Yuzhu, smiled and patted his shoulder, "Brother Yuzhu, you repaired the bicycle really well, please teach me when you have time."

He Yuzhu looked up and saw Li Xiangqian, and said with a smile: "Xiangqian, you have such good skills, it's no problem for you to learn this. But, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, I see you have something on your mind."

Li Xiangqian scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Brother Yuzhu, I have something I want to talk to you about."

He Yuzhu put down his tools, wiped his hands, and motioned Li Xiangqian to sit down. "Tell me, is there anything we can't talk about between brothers?"

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath, thinking about how to speak without sounding abrupt, "Brother Yuzhu, I think it's time for you to think about your lifelong affairs. You see, everyone in our courtyard says that you are a good person and you should have a good girl to accompany you."

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Xiang Qian, you are really worried about me. Who would be interested in a rough guy like me?"

Li Xiangqian said seriously, "Brother Yuzhu, don't say that. I know a girl who is very nice, gentle and virtuous. She can also cook. I think she is a good match for you."

He Yuzhu put away his smile and looked at Li Xiangqian, feeling touched and expectant. "Xiangqian, who is the girl you are talking about? Can I get to know her?"

Li Xiangqian nodded, feeling relieved. "Of course. Her name is Zhang Xiaojuan, and she's a friend of a distant relative of mine. We've met a few times before, and I think she's a very nice person, and a good match for you."
