I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

Sister Xiaoyu has been very busy with work recently. Things at the film and television base and the jewelry chain store are going on smoothly. Sister Xiaotao and Li Fugui discussed that in order to save her from running back and forth, they plan to arrange a new home for her during the warm winter.

The cold December wind blew through the city streets, but it couldn't dispel the joy and anticipation in the hearts of Li Fugui and Xiao Tao. The new house he'd purchased for Xiao Yu was finally settled, a dream home that Li Fugui had long searched for in the bank's staff housing complex.

This place is closest to the Wu Fu Jewelry Store headquarters and is the most convenient for work. Just go downstairs and turn a corner to reach the jewelry store's office.

The environment in the bank's staff housing complex is quiet and warm, and there is a sense of familiarity between neighbors.

The house is downstairs from Xiao Taojie and Li Fugui's house. The original owner was a retired bank employee. After his son went to study in Japan, he not only found a Japanese girlfriend who would accompany him for life, but also started a family there. The old man also followed him to Japan, intending to live there for a long time, so the house became idle.

Upon hearing the news, Li Fugui and Xiao Tao rushed to see the apartment. It was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, similar in layout to the one Li Fugui had been assigned by his workplace, except that the interior decoration had a unique Japanese style.

Tatami mats, wooden furniture, and simple lattice windows exude a tranquil and rustic atmosphere everywhere.

This was originally the love nest that the old couple carefully prepared for their son and daughter-in-law, but who would have thought that no one had ever lived there for a single day, and now they have to reluctantly sell it so that their son can buy a property in Japan.

Sister Xiaotao and Li Fugui went to see the house several times, and each time they carefully looked at every corner of the house, from lighting to ventilation, from water and electricity facilities to the structure of the house, without missing any details.

The two discussed repeatedly, weighed the pros and cons, and finally agreed that this house was tailor-made for Sister Xiaoyu.

When Sister Xiaoyu came to see it, she liked it at first sight. She especially liked the convenient storage and warm style. For Sister Xiaoyu, being close to Sister Xiaotao is the most important thing.

Li Fugui had a feeling that the friendship between the two sisters, Sister Xiaotao and Sister Xiaoyu, was something that ordinary people could not match, so President Li treated Sister Xiaoyu as his own sister.

On the day of moving, the warm winter sun shone on the earth, covering the city with a layer of golden glow.

Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and Xiao Xing came to Sister Xiaoyu's old house early in the morning to help organize and pack things.

Sister Xiaotao carefully labeled each box, marking the items inside and the room they belonged to.

Zhang Tingjian, Zhao Bufan and Sister Xiaoqi are cleaning the new house for Sister Xiaoyu.

Sister Xiaotao asked her cousin Li Jun to drive a pickup truck to help.

He is tall and strong, with a straightforward character. He doesn't talk much, but he is very efficient in doing things.

As soon as he arrived at the place, he rolled up his sleeves and started lifting heavy objects without saying a word.

Those heavy boxes seemed to have no weight in his hands. As he carried them time and again, beads of sweat gradually covered his forehead. But he did not even bother to wipe them off and just kept working.

Sister Xiaoyu looked at the busy crowd and was deeply moved.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I really don't know what I would do." Her voice was choked with sobs.

The eldest cousin smiled and waved his hands, "What are you talking about? We are all family, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

Sister Xiaotao hugged Xiaoxiaotao and smiled, echoing, "That's right, my dear sister, don't be polite with us, my cousin is your cousin, haha."

At this moment, Xiao Xiaotao woke up with her big, childish eyes open.

She was wearing a little red cotton jacket, like a cute little fireball, adding a bit of warmth to the cold winter day.

The moment Li Jun saw Xiao Xiaotao, his originally serious face softened instantly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a doting smile.

"Xiao Xiaotao, come here and let your uncle hug you." Li Jun stretched out his arms and invited Xiao Xiaotao.

Xiao Xiaotao was not shy at all and happily threw herself into Li Jun's arms.

"Cousin, do you think our little Tao is pretty?"

Sister Xiaotao asked with a smile.

Xiao Xiaotao likes her uncle a little bit,

She blinked her big watery eyes and hummed in a baby voice, as if she was greeting her uncle.

"Beautiful, our Xiao Xiaotao is the prettiest." Li Jun gently scratched Xiao Xiaotao's nose and laughed heartily.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at this heartwarming scene, and the originally hectic and busy atmosphere of the moving process became relaxed and cheerful.

As the items were loaded into the car and transported to the new house, the room gradually filled up. Li Fugui and Li Jun began to replace the light fixtures for Xiaoyu. The previous light fixtures were a bit fancy because it was a new house, so Xiaoyu wanted something simpler and more elegant.

Zhang Nan and Xiaoyu were busy sorting clothes and daily necessities. Xiaoxing, who was about to get married and couldn't work due to her pregnancy, was not to be outdone. She helped pass small items and offered some cute little suggestions from time to time.

"Sister Xiaoyu, this teddy bear should be placed at the head of your bed." Sister Xiaoqi said seriously, holding her beloved teddy bear doll.

This is a gift from the lovely Zhu Xiaoqi to Sister Xiaoyu.

"Okay, I'll listen to our sister Xiaoqi." Sister Xiaoyu agreed with a smile.

After a whole day of hard work, the house was finally almost decorated.

Looking at the newly renovated home, Sister Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled with happiness.

"This will be my home from now on. I'm so happy," she said with emotion.

The eldest cousin looked around and nodded with satisfaction, feeling very accomplished. "Well, this house will definitely be filled with laughter in the future."

Sister Tao walked to the window and opened the curtains. The sunlight poured in through the window, shining on everyone's face. "From now on, we will be neighbors living on the same floor. If you need anything, just say hello anytime."

As night fell and the city lights gradually came on, Li Fugui's family and his eldest cousin Li Jun decided to have everyone stay and have a simple dinner with Sister Xiaoyu to celebrate her housewarming.

Now it depends on my cousin’s cooking skills. I didn’t expect that although he looks rough, his mind and cooking skills are very delicate.

The dining table was filled with steaming hot food, everyone sat around it, and laughter echoed in the room.

"Come, let's clink our glasses together and wish Sister Xiaoyu a happy housewarming. May your future be filled with happiness."

Sister Xiaotao raised her glass with a smile on her face.

"Cheers!" Everyone responded, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses rang in the air, like a happy melody.

After dinner, cousin Li Jun said goodbye to Sister Xiaoyu and set off back to the fire station.

Sister Xiaotao immediately smiled and took Sister Xiaoyu to see him off.

Walking on the road in the community, Xiao Xiaotao leaned on Li Fugui's arms and fell asleep.

Sister Xiaotao gently covered her with a small blanket, fearing that she would catch a cold.

"You are really tired today, but I am very happy that you can help me move." Sister Xiaoyu said softly.

The eldest cousin smiled and nodded, "It's nothing. I see you and Xiao Tao the same way. You are both my sisters. Our area will be more lively from now on."

Sister Xiaotao immediately smiled and said, "This kid lives nearby, so you must come and see us often in the future."

My cousin listened quietly with a faint smile on his face. Although he still didn't say anything, his eyes showed his cherishment for this family love and warmth.

After returning home, Li Fugui and Xiao Taojie simply washed up and lay down on the bed. Recalling every detail of the move today, they both felt extremely satisfied.

"I was a little surprised to see how nice my cousin was to Xiao Xiaotao today." Sister Xiaotao said with a smile.

Li Fugui smiled and said, "He is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. In fact, he really likes children."

"Well, thanks to everyone's help today, Sister Xiaoyu was able to move in so smoothly. I just don't know if my cousin can open his heart to accept Sister Xiaoyu." Sister Xiaotao said with emotion.

I must help my uncle and aunt to handle this matter to the end.

"Yes, family members should support each other. I think my cousin still has some feelings for Sister Xiaoyu." Li Fugui put his arm around Sister Xiaotao, "Go to sleep, tomorrow is a new day."

In the warm bed, Sister Xiaotao gradually fell asleep.

In her dream, Xiaoyu and her cousin were married, living happily in their new home. They gathered together, just like today, sharing life's joys and sorrows. And this deep bond of family and friendship, like the warm sun in winter, forever warmed their hearts.
