Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Li Xiangqian felt a complicated feeling when he heard this. He had always regarded farming as the most important thing. The work in the factory was a stable source of income and could not be easily ignored. However, it was the busy farming season and he could not get away from the work in the fields. For a moment, he did not know how to respond.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Director Yang, and said with some embarrassment: "Director, you know that this is the busiest time in the fields, and farm work really requires manpower. However, I dare not delay the work of the factory. Can you give me some time, so that the work in the fields can slow down a little, and I will definitely cooperate with the work of the factory with all my strength."

After hearing this, Director Yang frowned even more, but then relaxed his frown and said calmly, "I understand. It's the busy farming season now, and the work in the fields is really important. Don't be too hard on yourself. I'll find a way to arrange things in the factory. But you have to remember that you can't completely give up your work in the factory. After all, it's the source of income for you and your family. I was grateful for Director Yang's understanding, but also felt a little sorry. "Director, don't worry, I won't delay the factory's work. I'll work harder here and try to handle the things in the fields as soon as possible, and then go back to the factory to help."

Director Yang smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'm relieved that you have this attitude. In fact, I know that you have been working very hard, and the factory values ​​you very much. Don't worry, you can come back anytime after the busy farming season, and the factory door is always open to you."

Li Xiangqian finally let go of the uneasiness in his heart and said gratefully, "Thank you, Director. I will never let you down."

Director Yang smiled, stood up, patted Li Xiangqian on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xiangqian, you are a good young man. Both the village and the factory need people like you. I hope you can balance work and life, neither delaying the work in the fields nor neglecting the work in the factory. Only in this way can you make your life better and better."

Li Xiangqian felt warm inside, and felt that Director Yang's words touched his heart. He knew that the burden on his shoulders was not light, but with Director Yang's support and understanding, he felt that he had more motivation to face the next challenges.

"I will definitely work hard and live up to everyone's expectations." Li Xiangqian said solemnly, his heart full of determination.

Director Yang nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Go back and do your work. Feel free to come to me whenever you need me."

Li Xiangqian stood up, thanked Director Yang, and left the office. When he walked out of the factory, he felt much more relaxed. Although the things he faced were still complicated, he felt that he had found a way to balance them. Li Xiangqian returned to his busy work. Although his body was still tired, his heart was more determined than before. He knew that he had to take both the work in the field and the work in the factory seriously and not neglect either. Although life was not easy, as long as he continued to work hard, his life would definitely get better and better.

After Li Xiangqian came out of Director Yang's office, his mood gradually calmed down, but he was still thinking about the conversation just now. Director Yang's words echoed in his mind for a long time, especially the sentence "balance work and life," which made him fall into deep thought.

On his way back to the village, he slowed down his pace involuntarily. Although it was the busy farming season and the farm work had left him with little time to think about other things, Director Yang's words made him realize that he might have overlooked something more important. Usually, he would immerse himself in the farm work, focusing all his attention on the crops, working day after day, as if only in this way could he be worthy of the land and his family.

But now thinking about it, it seems that there is something he has overlooked - that is his own life.

"Over the years, I have been working hard, thinking about making more money and improving the living conditions of my family, but... what about myself? Have I ever really paid attention to myself and thought about what I really want?" Li Xiangqian asked himself silently. He suddenly realized that he had spent too much time and energy in pursuit of a stable life, and even ignored his own needs and the simple happiness in life that should belong to him. Looking at the old locust tree, his mood became more complicated. The old locust tree is still lush, and its branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if silently watching him. Leaning gently against the trunk, feeling the roughness and coldness of the bark. He closed his eyes, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

"Maybe, I should really pay more attention to my life." He thought to himself. Although farming and working are important parts of his life, it doesn't mean he has to completely abandon other things. He thought that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time and hadn't done something he really liked. Usually, he was always busy taking care of the fields and taking care of his family. It seemed that every minute and every second of his life was fully arranged, and he didn't even have a little free time.

"Have I neglected myself too much?" Li Xiangqian asked himself. He knew that he had a responsibility to his family and the land, but he also realized that if he continued like this, he might lose his passion and motivation for life. If he continued to be busy like this, he might not even know why he was working so hard.

At this time, Li Xiangqian recalled his dream when he was young. At that time, he had not yet shouldered the burden of the family, and had not yet started to work hard for a living. He remembered that he used to like painting, and liked to pick up the paintbrush in his free time and paint the scenery in his mind. But now, the paintbrush has long been put aside in a corner, and the pure joy has long been forgotten.

"Maybe I should find myself again, and find back the things that once made me happy." Li Xiangqian suddenly felt an urge in his heart. He knew that life should not only be busy and full of responsibilities, but also have some time for himself, some moments that make him feel satisfied and happy.

So, he made up his mind and decided to take some time from today to do something he really wanted to do. Even if it was just a little time, he wanted to regain the long-lost relaxation and joy. Li Xiangqian felt his mood gradually relax, as if a stone weighing on his heart was gently removed. He decided to go to the house to look for the long-forgotten brushes and drawing paper. Even if it was just a whim, he wanted to try to regain the long-lost fun.
