Chapter 257 What do you need

Back at the courtyard, Li Xiangqian distributed the cookies to everyone. The children cheered excitedly when they saw the chocolate cookies, and the elders also praised the salty cookies. Qin Huairu got the almond-flavored cookies and came to thank him, "Xiangqian, you are so thoughtful. The children are so happy."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "As long as everyone likes it, this is what I should do. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

At night, Li Xiangqian sat in the yard, watching everyone happy because of the cookies, and felt a sense of accomplishment. He knew that these small actions, though insignificant, could make the neighborhood relationship in the courtyard closer.

At this time, Bang Geng ran over with a few chocolate biscuits in his hand, his eyes sparkling, "Brother Xiang Qian, these biscuits are delicious, thank you!"

Li Xiangqian patted his head and said with a smile: "If you like it, eat more. We will have more good things in the future."

Banggeng nodded with a happy smile on his face. Li Xiangqian looked at him and felt very relieved. Although there are many difficulties and challenges in life, as long as everyone unites as one and works together, they will surely overcome everything and usher in a better tomorrow.

As the night deepened, the courtyard gradually became quiet. Li Xiangqian lay on the bed, thinking about everything today, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He knew that this was just the beginning, and there would be many things waiting for him to do in the future. Whether it was helping his neighbors or realizing his dreams, he was full of confidence and hope.

Li Xiangqian was lying on his bed, thinking about the recent events, and he couldn't help feeling fulfilled and satisfied. He knew that his neighbors in the courtyard were living better and better because of his efforts and care. However, he also realized that he still had a lot to do, especially to improve everyone's quality of life.

Li Xiangqian got up early that morning and decided to go to the town market to buy some daily necessities. He thought that the elderly and children in the hospital usually needed some nutritional supplements and daily necessities, and his family also needed some food and groceries. So he made a detailed shopping list and prepared to buy some rice, noodles, oil, vegetables, and some snacks and fruits.

As soon as he went out, he ran into his neighbor Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu saw Li Xiangqian and greeted him warmly: "Xiangqian, are you going out to buy things again? You are such a hardworking young man!"

Li Xiangqian smiled and replied, "Yes, Auntie, we are short of things at home, so I plan to go to the market to buy some. Is there anything you need to bring?"

Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "That's great. I have difficulty walking these days. Can you bring me some eggs and milk? My grandson needs to eat these every morning."

Li Xiangqian nodded and kept this in mind. "Okay, Auntie, I will definitely bring it back for you."

He rode his bicycle, facing the morning breeze, and headed for the town market. Along the way, Li Xiangqian thought about how to better take care of everyone in the courtyard, and his heart was full of motivation and hope. He knew that his efforts were not only for himself, but also for the happiness of everyone.

When he arrived at the market, Li Xiangqian first went to the rice shop and bought a bag of high-quality rice. The owner greeted him warmly, "Xiangqian, you are here to buy rice again! Do you want to try the newly arrived Wuchang rice this time? It tastes especially good."

Li Xiangqian smiled and nodded, "Okay, give me a bag."

Then, he went to the flour shop and bought some flour and cooking oil. Everywhere he went, he greeted the bosses warmly. Everyone liked this hardworking young man. After buying grain and oil, Li Xiangqian came to the vegetable stall and picked some fresh vegetables and fruits. The old man selling vegetables saw him and smiled and said, "Xiangqian, why did you buy so many vegetables today? Do you have guests at home?"

Li Xiangqian smiled and shook his head. "No, it's just that my family and neighbors need some fresh vegetables and fruits, so we bought a lot and shared them with everyone."

The old man nodded and praised: "You are such a kind person. It is a blessing for the neighbors to have a young man like you."

After buying these, Li Xiangqian went to the grocery store and bought some snacks and daily necessities. He thought about the candies and biscuits that the children usually liked to eat, and the daily necessities that the elderly needed, and put them all into the shopping bag one by one. Finally, he came to the egg and milk stall and bought what Aunt Liu needed.

Back at the courtyard, Li Xiangqian distributed the things he bought to everyone. Aunt Liu took the eggs and milk and said gratefully, "Xiangqian, thank you so much. These things are indispensable to my grandson."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Auntie, you're welcome. This is what I should do. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

After finishing all these, Li Xiangqian returned home and began to sort out the things he bought. He thought to himself that although he was busy all day, seeing everyone's smiling faces made him feel satisfied and happy. Suddenly, he heard the laughter of children outside and couldn't help but go out to take a look.

In the yard, several children were playing around a big tree. When they saw Li Xiangqian coming out, they all ran over and said, "Brother Xiangqian, the cookies you bought are so delicious! We want more!"

Li Xiangqian smiled and patted their heads. "Okay, I'll bring some out later. You guys take your time to eat."

Seeing the children's happy faces, Li Xiangqian felt extremely relieved. He knew that although these small actions seemed insignificant, they could bring endless happiness and warmth to everyone. He decided to spend more time on these details in the future to make the life in the courtyard more beautiful and harmonious.

"Your handkerchief fell off." Li stepped forward and handed her the handkerchief.

The woman raised her head, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in her eyes. "Thank you." Her voice was soft and bookish.

Li Xiangqian's heart moved, and he felt that this woman was completely different from the girls he usually saw. He asked tentatively: "Are you a resident nearby? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The woman smiled and said, "My name is Lou Xiao'e, and I just moved to this area."

Li Xiangqian was delighted. It turned out that she was the new neighbor that had been rumored recently. He said politely, "My name is Li Xiangqian. I live in the courtyard. I had some free time today and came out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet you."

Lou Xiao'e nodded: "I just came out to relax. I'm a little tired from moving recently."

The two chatted for a while, and Li Xiangqian learned that Lou Xiao'e came from a scholarly family. Her father was a university professor and her mother was a calligrapher. She taught at school, was knowledgeable and gentle. This made Li Xiangqian admire her even more.
