Chapter 309 Improving Efficiency

Li Xiangqian took the basket and was touched. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Lou Xiao'e, you are always so thoughtful."

The two walked back to the courtyard while chatting. Lou Xiao'e's laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, which made Li Xiangqian feel relaxed. He found that he liked being with her more and more. The feeling of warmth and peace of mind was something he had never experienced in the courtyard.

Back home, Li Xiangqian sorted the vegetables and fruits in the basket one by one and prepared breakfast for tomorrow. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of Lou Xiao'e. He began to reflect on his feelings and realized that his attention to her was not just out of curiosity, but also out of a deep attachment.

Late at night, Li Xiangqian lay in bed, thinking about a lot of things. He thought of Lou Xiao'e's smile and her gentle words, and a warm ripple appeared in his heart. He began to think whether he should take the initiative to understand her past and explore the secrets in her heart. Maybe in this way, he can truly enter her world and become her support.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian walked out of the house with full of expectations. He decided to take the initiative to find Lou Xiao'e, talk to her, and learn more about her. He wandered in the yard for a while, and finally saw Lou Xiao'e coming out of the room.

"Lou Xiao'e, good morning." Li Xiangqian greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Brother Li." Lou Xiao'e also smiled, her face filled with the warmth of the sun.

"Are you free today? I'd like to invite you to go shopping on the street and buy some daily necessities." Li Xiangqian mustered up the courage to invite.

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Of course, I also happen to have some things to buy."

The two walked out of the courtyard and strolled on the street. Li Xiangqian was a little nervous. He didn't know how to speak so that Lou Xiao'e would be willing to share more with him. However, Lou Xiao'e seemed to see through his thoughts and took the initiative to say: "Brother Li, I know you must have a lot of questions in your mind. In fact, my past is not complicated, but there are some things I don't want to talk about."

Li nodded forward and said gently: "It's okay, Lou Xiao'e, no matter what your past is, I will respect your choice. It's just that I hope to get to know you better and become a friend you can rely on."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xiangqian gratefully, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Actually, I used to live in an unhappy family. My parents always quarreled, and I often felt lonely and helpless. Later, I decided to leave that place and come here, hoping to start over and live a new life."

Li Xiangqian felt distressed when he heard her story. He gently held Lou Xiao'e's hand and comforted her softly, "The past is over. You have me and everyone else now. We will be with you and face the future together."

Lou Xiao'e nodded with tears in her eyes. She found that Li Xiangqian's warmth and sincerity made her feel more at ease than ever before. She decided not to hide her past anymore and was willing to open her heart and share more with him.

From that day on, the relationship between Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e became closer. They worked together in the courtyard and faced the challenges of life together. Li Xiangqian found that Lou Xiao'e was not only a strong woman, but also a wise and gentle person. With Li Xiangqian's company, Lou Xiao'e gradually walked out of the shadow of the past and welcomed new hope.

One evening, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e were sitting in the yard, admiring the afterglow of the setting sun. Li Xiangqian suddenly suggested: "Lou Xiao'e, let's plant some flowers and plants to make this yard more beautiful."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Okay, I like flowers and plants too, let's do it together."

So they started to plant flowers in the yard, watering them and taking care of every green leaf. As time went by, the courtyard was full of colorful flowers, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. Their lives were also like these flowers, full of hope and beauty.

Li Xiangqian found that every day with Lou Xiao'e was so beautiful, and his heart was full of longing and expectation for the future. He knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, with her by his side, he could face it bravely. And Lou Xiao'e also found that Li Xiangqian's tenacity and warmth made her feel extremely at ease, and she was willing to join hands with him to move forward every day in the future.

Li Xiangqian stood by the corn field in the courtyard, looking at the corn stalks growing vigorously, thinking about his future plans. The corn has reached the harvest season, and Li Xiangqian is thinking about how to deal with the corn to maximize its use and bring more income to his family. He decided to plan well and sell the corn at a good price.

The morning sun shone in the yard. Li Xiangqian took a sickle and began to harvest corn. He was sweating profusely, but his heart was full of hope. Seeing his busy figure, Lou Xiao'e came over and handed him a cup of herbal tea, and asked with concern: "Brother Li, you are busy so early, don't tire yourself out."

Li Xiangqian took the teacup and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xiao'e. I want to do more work in the cool morning. After the corn is harvested, I plan to keep some for my home and sell the rest at the market."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes: "You are such a hardworking person, you are so serious about everything you do."

Li Xiangqian smiled and continued to work. He thought that in addition to selling corn, he could also make some processed foods from corn, such as corn flour and corn tortillas. These things are very popular in the market and should be able to sell for a good price. He decided to go back and study the technology in this area to see if he could find someone to cooperate with and process the corn into more valuable products.

In the evening, Li Xiangqian sat in the yard, peeling corn while thinking about his future plans. It suddenly occurred to him that he might be able to work together with his neighbors in the courtyard to pool their agricultural products and sell them together, which would not only improve efficiency but also bring better returns. He decided to find a time to discuss this idea with everyone.

The next day, Li Xiangqian gathered everyone in the yard and proposed to them: "Hello everyone, I have an idea that I want to share with you. Every household has some agricultural products. If we can sell them together, we can definitely get a good price. I wonder if everyone is interested in working together?"
