Chapter 319 Urgent knock on the door

After returning home, Li Xiangqian carefully sorted out the food and items and put them in the storage room. While sorting, he thought about Lou Xiao'e's upcoming departure, feeling a little lost. He knew that although these foods could solve the problems in life, they could not fill the emptiness in his heart.

In the evening, Li Xiangqian came to Lou Xiao'e's yard again. She was packing the last of her luggage. Seeing Li Xiangqian coming in, she smiled and said, "Brother Li, why are you here? What's the matter?" Li Xiangqian looked at her busy figure and felt reluctant to leave. "I just wanted to come and see if you need any help."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, everything is ready. I will leave early tomorrow morning." There was a hint of reluctance and expectation in her voice. Li Xiangqian felt even more complicated. He knew that he should bless her, but he could hardly suppress the loss in his heart.

"You must take good care of yourself. If you need anything, feel free to contact me." Li Xiangqian whispered, his tone full of concern. Lou Xiao'e nodded, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes: "Brother Li, you are so kind to me, I am really grateful. No matter where I am, I will remember you."

They sat in the yard for a while, talking about many future plans and memories. Li Xiangqian listened to Lou Xiao'e's story, feeling proud of her courage and determination, but also painful for the upcoming separation. He knew that he had to face all this, but it was difficult to really let it go.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched Lou Xiao'e leave. He watched her walk out of the courtyard with a heart full of reluctance and blessings. Although he knew that this separation might be forever, he still hoped that she could realize her dream and live a happy life.

As time went by, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility. Li Xiangqian took care of the yard and the cornfield as usual, and life seemed to have returned to normal. However, there was always a vacancy in his heart, which was left by Lou Xiao'e. He often wandered in the yard, as if he could still hear her laughter and see her busy figure.

One autumn afternoon, Li Xiangqian was standing in the yard, looking at the fallen leaves on the ground, feeling lonely. He knew that he had to learn to face this loneliness, but he couldn't fully adapt to it. Just then, his cell phone rang. It was a text message from Lou Xiao'e.

"Brother Li, everything is fine here. Work is going well and my colleagues are very friendly. Although I am very busy, I feel fulfilled every day. I hope you take good care of yourself and I will come back to see you when I have the chance." Seeing this message, Li Xiangqian felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that although they were in different places, their hearts were still closely connected.

Li Xiangqian sat on a stone bench in the yard, his heart full of hope for the future. He knew that although there were many unpredictable things in life, as long as there was love and care in his heart, he could face everything bravely. He prayed silently, hoping that Lou Xiao'e could live happily in the new environment, and also hoped that he could find a new direction in life.

Since then, Li Xiangqian's life has become more fulfilling. He continues to take care of the yard and plant corn, and occasionally receives calls and text messages from Lou Xiaoe. They share each other's lives and feelings on the phone. Although they are far away, the distance in their hearts is getting closer and closer.

One winter night, Li Xiangqian sat in his study, thinking back to the past, his heart full of emotion. He knew that he had gone through a difficult road, but because of Lou Xiao'e's existence, he became full of hope. He decided to continue working hard to create more beauty for his life.

This winter is colder than usual, the north wind is howling, and every tile in the courtyard is covered with cold air. Li Xiangqian wrapped his coat tightly, walked into the yard, and looked at the cornfield covered with a thin layer of frost. He knew that this winter would be particularly long and cold, and he had to work harder to take care of himself and everything in the yard.

He gets up early every morning, works in the yard, and then goes back to the house to light a fire to keep warm. He organizes the food he has stored to ensure that it will last through the cold winter. He also went to the market to buy some thick winter clothes and some necessities in case of emergency.

One cold night, Li Xiangqian sat by the fire and couldn't help thinking of Lou Xiao'e. They had kept in touch since she left, but every time he saw her news, he would always feel a surge of warmth and worry in his heart. He knew she was living well in the new city, but he couldn't help but worry about her health and safety.

"Brother Li, is it very cold where you are? It's very cold here too, but luckily we have the heater." Lou Xiao'e's voice was full of smiles on the other end of the phone. Li Xiangqian listened to her voice, and the chill in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot: "Yes, the winter here is very cold, but I'm well prepared, don't worry."

Lou Xiao'e smiled: "You are always so considerate, I know you won't let yourself get cold. By the way, I have encountered some challenges at work recently, but I believe I can overcome them." Li Xiangqian felt the strength and confidence in her words, and his heart was filled with pride and relief: "You can do it, Xiao'e. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must believe in yourself. You are the best."

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiangqian felt much better. He knew that although they were in different places, their hearts were always closely connected. Whenever he felt lonely, he could find the strength to move forward as long as he thought of Lou Xiao'e's smile.

As winter deepened, the weather became colder and colder. Li Xiangqian spent more time in the yard every day to ensure that all the plants and reserves could survive the cold winter. He found that he learned a lot of new things in the process and gradually adapted to the rhythm of living alone.

One day, Li Xiangqian was collecting firewood in the yard when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He put down his work, walked over and opened the door, and found that it was his neighbor Aunt Liu. She looked anxious: "Xiao Li, my stove is broken, can I borrow your fire to keep warm?"

Without saying anything, Li Xiangqian quickly invited Aunt Liu in. He poured her a cup of hot tea and asked her to warm herself by the stove. Aunt Liu looked at him gratefully: "Xiao Li, you are such a good person. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do." Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, you are welcome. We are all neighbors and it is only right for us to help each other."
