Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Arriving at Xu Damao's door, he dragged the water pipe to the door and knocked. After a while, Xu Damao opened the door and saw Li Xiangqian dragging the water pipe, but then smiled, "Brother Xiangqian, you're back so early? He handed the water pipe over, "Of course, it's convenient to borrow things, but you have to return them early to avoid delaying your family's use."

Xu Damao took the water pipe and said, "Brother Xiangqian, you are a steady person and you are very careful when borrowing things. Thank you. He smiled and said, "Why thank me? We are neighbors."

Xu Damao looked at Li Xiangqian and asked, "Brother Xiangqian, have you finished the work in the fields?" "It's going well. We have to keep an eye on it these days, in case something bad happens. "Yes, the weather can change at any time, so we have to be on guard. If you need any help, feel free to come to me. We are from the same village, and I will help you if I can."

Li Xiangqian smiled gratefully, and his attitude towards Xu Damao changed a little. Although Xu Damao usually spoke in a slick way, he was still quite reliable at critical moments. He knew that this kind of favor was accumulated over time, and he should not look down on the other party because of a momentary misunderstanding or negligence.

After leaving Xu Damao's house, Li Xiangqian returned to the oxcart, got on the cart, and silently ate the bread in his hand. Although today's matter was resolved, he was not completely relaxed. There was still a lot of work waiting for him to complete, and he could not slack off at all.

Back in the field, Li Xiangqian carefully checked the situation again. After irrigation with well water, the crops grew much better, but he knew that this was only a temporary improvement and that more careful care would be needed to ensure a good harvest. He walked on the ridge of the field, thinking about the next work arrangement in his mind, and his heart was filled with a sense of responsibility and urgency.

In the afternoon, Li Xiangqian carefully checked all the places that needed attention in the field and made some necessary adjustments. He knew that only by handling every detail well could there be no regrets when harvesting. Although his body was still a little tired, his heart gradually settled down. He had tried his best to do everything well, and the rest was left to time and God. Li Xiangqian finally finished today's work. He stood at the end of the field, looking at the fields under the setting sun, and felt a sense of peace and satisfaction in his heart. Although life is full of challenges, he is no longer afraid of these difficulties, because he knows that he has enough courage and perseverance to face everything. It was dark, and the shadow of the old locust tree became blurred in the night. Li Xiangqian walked into the yard and found that his father was sitting at the door of the house smoking. Seeing him come back, "Xiangqian, how was it today? Are all the things done?" He said tiredly but satisfied: "Well, everything is done, and the water pipes are also returned. The work in the field has also been taken care of, and then it depends on how the sky will give face. He nodded, blew out a puff of smoke, and said calmly: "Go forward, we rely on God for our livelihood. Sometimes we try our best, but we still have to listen to God's will. But if you can do everything with all your heart, Dad will feel at ease. He felt warm in his heart. He knew that although his father's words were plain, they revealed the true meaning of life. Do your best and listen to God's will. This is the belief he has been influenced by since he was a child, and it is also the principle he has always followed.

As night fell, Li Xiangqian returned to the house with his father, had a simple dinner, and after washing up, he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation. Although he was busy today, everything was completed in an orderly manner, which filled him with satisfaction.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian woke up early. Although he had a good sleep last night, as soon as he opened his eyes, he began to think about today's work. The recent busyness made him a little overdrawn, but he understood that this period was a critical period, and every step must be taken steadily without any slackness.

He recalled the scene of working with his fellow workers in the field yesterday, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Although the pressure these days is very high, with the help of these fellow workers, things are going smoothly. Thinking of them working hard in spite of the hot weather to help him, Li Xiangqian felt a little sorry. Today, he decided to bring some food to the field to treat these brothers who worked hard with him.

After getting up and washing up, Li Xiangqian went into the kitchen and started preparing food. He knew that these workers were capable farmers who were not particular about food. Simple home-cooked meals would make them happy. Li Xiangqian took out a few pieces of bacon and some cabbage from the refrigerator, planning to make a dish of bacon and cabbage stir-fry, and then cook a pot of hot porridge.

He skillfully cut the bacon into thin slices, and when the oil in the pot was heated, the bacon was put into the pot, and it immediately made a "sizzling" sound, and the aroma filled the air. Li Xiangqian skillfully stir-fried the bacon, and then poured the chopped cabbage into it. After a while of stir-frying, the aroma became stronger. Looking at the hot dishes in the pot, Li Xiangqian felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if these simple dishes had made him feel a kind of plain happiness.

While cooking, he thought about the expressions of his coworkers when they saw the meal. Although everyone usually eats simply, Li Xiangqian feels that occasionally bringing them some delicious food to make them eat happier is also a way of expressing his thoughts. After all, everyone has worked hard together during this period, and everyone's efforts should be rewarded.

After the dishes were cooked, Li Xiangqian started to cook porridge. He cooked the porridge slowly over a low fire, thinking about his experiences over the years, from the initial difficulties to the gradual stabilization now. Although his life was not rich, he was no longer the young man who only knew how to work hard. He learned how to get along with others, how to find a balance in busyness, and how to treat everyone around him with his heart.

The porridge was cooked soft and fragrant, and Li Xiangqian nodded with satisfaction and put the porridge into the thermos bucket. After all the preparations were done, he put the bacon, cabbage and porridge into the food box, put it on the ox cart, and prepared to take it to the field.

Along the way, the morning breeze gently blew on Li Xiangqian's face, and he felt a rare freshness and pleasure. Although he still had to face a lot of work today, he felt particularly relaxed in his heart. These foods were not only for filling his stomach, but also a kind of gratitude and concern for his fellow workers. The workers have begun to get busy. Seeing Li Xiangqian driving the ox cart over, Wang Mazi took the lead and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Xiangqian, why are you here so early today? We thought you wanted to sleep a little longer. He parked the ox cart at the end of the field, "How can I sleep? There are so many things to do in the fields. I'm so anxious." As he said, he took the lunch box from the car and called everyone over, "I brought some food for everyone today, all homemade. Let's continue to work after we finish eating."
