The car arrived at the airport very quickly, and Jia Dongxu was already waiting at the exit. When he saw Su Ming's family, Jia Dongxu smiled brightly, strode over, and greeted them warmly.
"Xiaodang will be out soon, and I can't wait to see her." Jia Dongxu said excitedly.
After a while, Xiaodang came out pushing a luggage cart. As soon as she appeared, Jia Dongxu and Su Ming went to meet her. Huaihua, Su Bai and Su Nan also followed behind, eager to meet her.
"Xiaodang, welcome home!" Jia Dongxu walked forward and hugged his daughter, his eyes full of joy.
Xiao Dang smiled brightly and hugged her father tightly. She looked energetic and was obviously looking forward to returning to Beijing.
"Uncle and aunt, long time no see!" Xiao Dang greeted Su Ming and Li Xin politely.
Su Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Dang, welcome back to the courtyard. We all missed you very much."
Li Xin also came forward to hug Xiao Dang and said gently: "It's great that you're back. Come on, get in the car, and let's go home together."
Along the way, Xiaodang excitedly talked with everyone about her experiences abroad. She talked about her studies, friends and travels, her face full of happiness and satisfaction. Huaihua and her brothers and sisters also shared their interesting stories in the courtyard. Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Back at the courtyard, Xiaodang was deeply attracted by the scene before her. She walked into the courtyard, feeling the familiar and warm atmosphere, and an indescribable excitement surged in her heart.
"I never thought that the courtyard house would become so beautiful." Xiao Dang said with emotion.
Li Xin smiled and said, "We have been taking good care of this place. I hope you like it."
Xiaodang nodded, looked around, and her eyes fell on the ancient locust tree. She walked over and gently stroked the trunk, as if she was greeting an old friend.
"I remember we often played under this tree when we were kids. It's great that it's still here," Xiao Dang said with emotion.
Huaihua walked up to her and said with a smile: "Yes, this ancient locust tree has witnessed many of our good times. Now that you are back, we can create more memories here together."
Xiao Dang smiled and nodded, her heart full of anticipation. She knew that the Siheyuan would be an important part of her future life.
As night fell, the courtyard was brightly lit. Su Ming's family and Jia Dongxu and his daughter sat together, enjoying a sumptuous dinner. At the table, everyone laughed and talked, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
"Xiaodang, what do you plan to do during this period of time?" Su Ming asked with concern.
Xiao Dang thought for a while and said, "I want to adapt to life in Beijing first, and then decide on my next plan. In fact, I have always been interested in the culture of Siheyuan and want to learn more about it here."
After hearing this, Su Bai smiled and said, "That's great. We can discuss the architecture and history of Siheyuan together. I've been researching some new design concepts recently, and maybe you'll be interested."
Xiao Dang nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will ask you for more advice."
After dinner, everyone sat under the ancient locust tree and chatted. The breeze blew, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. Sophora japonica suggested, "Should we arrange a welcome party for Xiaodang so that she can meet more friends?"
Su Nan responded immediately: "Good idea! I can be responsible for planning and organizing, and ensure that Xiaodang feels the warmth of home."
Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "You are so enthusiastic. Xiaodang will definitely adapt quickly when he comes back."
A few days later, Xiaodang's welcome party was held in the courtyard. The courtyard was full of colorful lights and various delicious foods. Guests came in an endless stream, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.
"Welcome everyone to the Siheyuan. Today we are holding a special welcome party for Xiaodang. We hope she will have a wonderful time here." Su Ming said with a smile while standing on the stage.
When Xiao Dang was invited to the stage, she looked at everything in front of her with gratitude and joy in her heart. "Thank you for your warm welcome, I am very happy to be back here, and I hope to share more beautiful moments with you all."
At the welcome party, everyone enjoyed the conversation and entertainment, and Xiaodang also made many new friends. Huaihua, Su Bai and Su Nan were busy making sure every detail was perfect.
After the event, the courtyard returned to its tranquility. Xiaodang sat under the ancient locust tree, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of expectations for the future.
"Xiaodang, how do you feel?" Huaihua walked over, sat beside her and asked.
Xiao Dang smiled and said, "It's really nice here. I feel the warmth of home and everyone's love. Thank you."
Huaihua held her hand and said softly, "We are all family. If you need anything in the future, just tell us. We will support you."
Xiao Dang nodded and said gratefully: "I feel safe with you around."
As time went by, Xiaodang gradually adapted to the life in the courtyard. She began to study traditional culture in the courtyard, discussed family history with Huaihua, and often asked Su Bai for advice on architectural design.
One afternoon, Su Ming brought Xiao Dang to a study room in the courtyard. The study room was filled with ancient books and documents, and the air was filled with a faint scent of books.
"Xiaodang, this is our family's library. There are many books about courtyard houses and family history. You can find a lot of interesting information here." Su Ming said.
Xiao Dang looked at everything in the study room with surprise and couldn't wait to start flipping through the ancient books. She was immersed in the fragrance of the books, as if she was traveling through time and space and talking to the long history.
"Dad, these books are so precious. I will study them carefully and try my best to pass on this knowledge." Xiaodang said seriously.
Su Ming nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction. He knew that Xiao Dang had deeply integrated into the life of the courtyard and had found his own direction in life.
As time went by, Xiao Dang's research on Siheyuan became more and more in-depth. She not only wrote many papers on Siheyuan culture, but also planned a series of cultural activities, attracting many people who are interested in traditional culture to visit and learn.
On a sunny morning, Huaihua walked on the bluestone road of the courtyard, thinking about today's tasks. Today, she would take Su Bai and Xiao Dang to take over the small supermarket. This small supermarket was opened by Su Ming many years ago and has always been doing well, but recently due to the many affairs of the courtyard, Su Ming hopes that the children can take over.
"Xiaodang, brother, we have an important mission today." Huaihua said to the two people behind him as he walked.
"What task?" Su Bai asked with a smile, holding a roll of newly designed architectural drawings in his hand.
"Dad said that we are going to take over that small supermarket. You know, it is the result of Dad's years of hard work, and we are going to run it well," Huaihua explained.
