When everyone was helping to clean up the Lou family's old house.

A high-end official car was parked at the entrance of the alley.

A man got out of the car.

"President Lou, the city government has prepared a welcome dinner for you. May I ask..."

"Secretary Zhang, thank Mayor × for me. I want to get together with my family and friends."

"yes."

The official car left immediately.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the familiar scenery around her, with a relaxed smile on her face.

Only when she got home could she relax completely.

She strolled through the familiar alley, approaching home step by step.

Childhood, childhood, youth, and youth all appeared in her mind like a movie.

Soon, she came to the old house.

Inside the house, the sounds of people talking could be heard.

She paused, collected her emotions, and walked towards the old house.

Li Qiao, Niu Xiaowei, and Xiao Zhenghao were picking up broken tiles on the roof.

Xiao Lingsu also wanted to go to the room, so he had no choice but to carry her up too.

She was running back and forth on the ridge of the house, like a chirping little swallow.

Father Lou, Song Moqu, and Xie Supply and Marketing led the workers to clean up the tattered furniture in the house and arrange the new furniture.

Lou’s mother, Xiaodang laid out the newly bought mattresses, quilts, etc., and then cleaned the room.

When Lou Xiao'e entered the yard, she first saw Xiao Lingsu playing on the roof of the house.

She immediately shouted: "Lingsu, why did you get to such a high place? Come down quickly."

"Mommy! It's so fun here. There are bird's nests and cicada sloughs!"

Xiao Lingsu held up a transparent cicada and said happily.

Lou Xiao'e was still worried about her daughter's safety, so she said to Xiao Zhenghao: "Husband, take Lingsu down."

Xiao Lingsu laughed and said, "Look how much fun she has! Don't spoil her fun."

Li Qiao also said: "Don't worry, Sister Xiao'e, we will take care of her and she won't fall."

At this time, Lou's father and Lou's mother came out of the house and called "Xiao'e". The three members of the family hugged each other and cried.

…

The house is in order.

It's already night.

The sky gradually darkened.

The workers are all gone.

Those who stayed behind were all relatives and friends.

Lou's mother, Xiaodang, and Lou Xiao'e are going to the kitchen to prepare meals.

Li Qiao didn't want them to be too tired, so he went out directly and arranged for three restaurants to deliver a table of delicious food.

He even went to Quanjude and bought a roast duck.

As for the drinks, it was Moutai brought by Song Moqu and Xie Gongmao.

Everyone drank and talked happily, and warmly congratulated the Lou family on returning to their hometown.

The banquet didn't end until after ten o'clock in the evening.

Li Qiao, Song Moqu, Xiaodang, Niu Xiaowei, and Xie Gongpin each went home.

Lou Xiao'e, Xiao Zhenghao, Xiao Lingsu, Lou's father and Lou's mother live in the old house.

Although the old house is not as convenient as a hotel, it is still a home.

…

the next day.

Li Qiao ordered breakfast to be delivered to the Lou family early in the morning.

Then, he called Niu Xiaowei, and each person drove a car and planned to be the driver for the Lou family.

After the Lou family had breakfast, Li Qiao asked them where they wanted to go.

Father Lou and Mother Lou just want to stay at home and clean up the house.

Xiao Lingsu wanted to see the Great Wall, and Xiao Zhenghao also wanted to go.

However, Lou Xiao'e was a little confused and remained silent.

So, everyone decided to go to the Great Wall first.

Li Qiao invited Lou's father and Lou's mother to have some fun together.

The two cars drove out of the alley and headed towards the Great Wall.

…

Badaling Great Wall.

Xiao Zhenghao and Xiao Lingsu had a great time.

The father and daughter scrambled to climb to the beacon tower, competing for the title of "hero".

In the end, Xiao Lingsu won.

The little girl was holding the prize with a proud face.

Lou's father and Lou's mother were old, so they stayed in the lounge set up in the scenic spot.

Li Qiao and Niu Xiaowei accompanied Lou Xiao'e and climbed slowly.

"Sister Xiao'e, if there is anywhere else you want to go, tell me and I will go with you."

Li Qiao said.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the winding Great Wall and was speechless for a long time.

After a while, she said: "Siheyuan... are you okay?"

Li Qiao said: "It's okay, I'm just getting old."

"It's been more than ten years, are those people... still there?"

Li Qiao told her what happened in the courtyard.

Of course, Li Qiao also disclosed the situation of the courtyard in letters to her over the years.

However, there was never a single person mentioned.

That is Xu Damao.

Lou Xiao'e never asked about Xu Damao's situation.

What happened to the person who hurt her the most back then?

…

After visiting the Great Wall.

Li Qiao took everyone to have lunch at the foot of the Great Wall.

After lunch, Xiao Zhenghao suddenly proposed that he wanted to visit the courtyard where Lou Xiaoe once lived.

This surprised Li Qiao.

Xiao Zhenghao also knows about Siheyuan?

So does he know what happened to Lou Xiao'e?

Did Lou Xiaoe tell him everything?

"Daddy, what is a courtyard house?"

Xiao Lingsu suddenly asked curiously.

Xiao Zhenghao smiled and said: "This is the courtyard where your mother once lived. By the way, your Uncle Li Qiao still lives there."

"Oh, that's Uncle Li Qiao's home? I want to have a look!"

The little girl is clamoring to go to the courtyard.

Father Lou and Mother Lou also want to visit.

Xiao Zhenghao was very interested and said that he had always heard of the name Siheyuan, but he had never seen it before.
