Chapter 302: Drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body
"Xiaodang, it's me, Su Ming. How have you been recently? I heard that you encountered some troubles?" Su Ming tried his best to make his voice sound gentler.
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Dang was silent for a while, then whispered: "Su Ming, I... I'm really upset recently. Lao Jiang... he cheated on me, and I don't know what to do."
Su Ming was shocked. Although he had guessed it long ago, he still felt angry and heartbroken when he heard Xiao Dang say it himself. He took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "Xiao Dang, don't be anxious. Listen to me. Although emotional matters are complicated, you must remember that you are not alone. We are all your friends and will support you and help you through this difficult time."
Xiao Dang's voice was filled with tears, "Su Ming, I really don't know what to do. He was so good to me before, I never thought he would betray me."
Su Ming's heart was clenched, and he walked to the osmanthus tree in the yard, as if he could draw strength from the tree. He whispered, "Xiao Dang, love requires the joint efforts of both parties. Lao Jiang's betrayal made you very painful, but it doesn't mean that you did anything wrong. You need time to digest all this, and you also need the support of your friends."
Xiao Dang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Thank you, Su Ming. I know you will always support me, but I am really confused now and don't know what to do in the future."
Su Ming said firmly: "Xiao Dang, don't be afraid of being confused. Confusion is a stage that everyone will go through. As long as you are firm in your heart, you will always find the way forward. No matter what happens, we will be by your side."
The two chatted for a long time, and Su Ming continued to comfort and enlighten Xiao Dang until her emotions gradually stabilized. After hanging up the phone, Su Ming felt relieved, but at the same time he was extremely angry and disappointed with Lao Jiang.
During this time, Su Ming continued to repair the courtyard, and from time to time he cared about Xiao Dang's situation. Whenever he finished work, he would always call Xiao Dang to talk about recent events, so that she could feel the care and support of a friend.
One night, Su Ming was sorting tools in the yard when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Xiaodang calling.
"Su Ming, I've made up my mind. I want to come back." There was a hint of firmness in Xiao Dang's voice.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then he smiled with satisfaction, "That's great, Xiaodang. Come back, this will always be your home."
A few days later, Xiao Dang finally returned to Old Beijing. Su Ming and Jia Dongxu went to pick her up. When he saw her get off the car with a look of fatigue but also a hint of determination on her face, Su Ming was filled with relief.
"Xiaodang, welcome home." Su Ming walked up to her and hugged her, saying softly.
Xiao Dang hugged him back, tears in his eyes, "Thank you, I appreciate your support during this period."
Jia Dongxu also stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "You're welcome, we are old friends, let's face any difficulties together."
Back in the courtyard, Xiaodang looked around and felt very at home in the familiar environment. She took a deep breath and seemed to have found a long-lost sense of security and belonging here.
"Su Ming, Jia Dongxu, thank you for helping me find my direction again." Xiao Dang said gratefully.
Su Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Dang, your strength and courage deserve the respect of all of us. The road ahead is still long, and we will always be by your side."
Xiao Dang nodded, with a determined light in his eyes. "I have decided that in the future I will focus more on the cultural protection of the Siheyuan. This is our root and our home."
In the following days, Su Ming, Xiao Dang and Jia Dongxu worked together to repair and protect the courtyard. With her professional knowledge and resources, Xiao Dang helped Su Ming's team solve many problems, making the repair work smoother. The tacit understanding and cooperation between the three of them became better and better, as if they had found a long-lost rhythm and tacit understanding.
One evening, Su Ming, Xiao Dang, and Jia Dongxu were drinking tea in the yard, discussing the progress of the repair work. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the yard, giving everything a golden glow.
"Xiao Dang, you really helped us a lot." Su Ming said gratefully, "With your help, many things have become much simpler."
Xiao Dang smiled and said: "This is our common cause. I feel very satisfied to be able to contribute to the protection of the Siheyuan."
Jia Dongxu also nodded in agreement, "Xiaodang's return makes our team stronger. In the future, we will definitely do better."
As time went by, the restoration of the Siheyuan gradually got on track, and every detail was carefully restored and protected. Su Ming's team also gradually grew, and more and more people joined the protection of the Siheyuan. They worked together to inherit and carry forward this precious cultural heritage.
The day Xiaodang returned to Beijing, the sky was gray and a little cold. Su Ming and Jia Dongxu stood at the gate of the courtyard, their eyes occasionally sweeping towards the street corner in the distance. Finally, a black car drove up and slowly stopped. Xiaodang got out of the car with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Su Ming, Jia Dongxu, I'm back." She waved and greeted them, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in her voice.
"Welcome back, Xiaodang." Su Ming walked over quickly and helped her with her luggage. "You are finally back. There are many things waiting for you here."
Jia Dongxu also came forward with a smile, "Yes, Xiaodang, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go in first and have a cup of hot tea to warm ourselves up."
Xiao Dang nodded, and the three of them walked into the courtyard together. The courtyard was still so familiar, and the fragrance of osmanthus filled the air, making people feel extremely at ease. After entering the house, Su Ming made hot tea, and the three of them sat at the stone table and began to chat about their recent situation.
"Xiao Dang, you've worked hard during this period." Su Ming said with concern, "But with you back, our team will be stronger."
Xiao Dang took a sip of tea and felt the warmth of the tea. She smiled and said, "Actually, it was my decision to come back. I think I can do more meaningful things here. Su Ming, I want to cooperate with you to better protect the Siheyuan."
Su Ming was delighted when he heard this and nodded immediately, "That's great, Xiaodang. I was just about to tell you about this. We have many projects that need professionals like you to join us. With you here, we can do better."
Jia Dongxu also agreed, "Yes, Xiaodang, Su Ming has been thinking about how to discuss cooperation with you these days. It's great that you agreed so readily as soon as you came back."
Xiao Dang smiled and said, "Since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down."
