Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

The hard work and efforts during this period also gave him an unusual sense of satisfaction. He was especially pleased to see the crops in the yard grow from seeds into abundant food. Although the work was sometimes heavy and physically exhausted, all his fatigue seemed to disappear when he saw those vigorous plants.

After dinner, Li Xiangqian and Lao Li continued to chat about their planting experiences. They discussed the adaptability of crops in different seasons and shared their experiences. Li Xiangqian was full of enthusiasm for these topics and even quickly wrote down a few useful tips mentioned by Lao Li on paper.

When Li Xiangqian returned home, his wife looked at the satisfaction on his face and said softly, "You have really changed a lot recently. Before, you were always thinking about how to see the results quickly, but now you enjoy every bit of the process."

Li Xiangqian smiled and held his wife's hand gratefully: "Yes, I also feel that I have become more mature. Every growth of the seedlings and every small harvest make me understand the meaning of persistence and hard work."

That night, Li Xiangqian lay on his bed, looking at the ceiling, his heart full of longing for the future. He knew that although the courtyard was just a small world, he not only planted food here, but also planted a heart full of hope and dreams. Every inch of land and every detail recorded his love and persistence for life.

As the seasons changed, Li Xiangqian's courtyard became more and more fulfilling. The crops in the fields gradually matured, and while he was busy farming, he gradually became familiar with the lives of the people around him. Although life in the courtyard was simple, it was particularly fulfilling because of Li Xiangqian's efforts. He often walked out of the courtyard in the early morning and evening, feeling the changes in this land, and his heart was filled with peace and satisfaction.

On this day, Li Xiangqian was busy sorting out some beans he had just picked when he suddenly heard a commotion. He looked up and saw his neighbor Banggeng making noises at the gate of the yard. Banggeng was a well-known person in the neighborhood. He had a weird personality and liked to show off. He would often use some unwelcome ways to attract attention. Today, he stood at the gate of the yard with a swagger, constantly boasting about how he could turn the small yard into a golden place in a few months, and even provocatively showed off his "great achievements" to Li Xiangqian.

Li Xiangqian was a little unhappy. He didn't like Banggeng's behavior. He felt that true success should be achieved in silence, not by making loud noises. Facing Banggeng's words, Li Xiangqian just smiled and didn't respond. In fact, he was feeling dissatisfied. He was fed up with such excessive boasting, and felt that such behavior was not only boring, but also frivolous and hypocritical.

"Oh, Xiao Li, it's amazing that you can harvest all these from such a small yard. But I don't know how you deal with those diseases and pests. Is it just luck?" Banggeng's voice was somewhat provocative.

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and said calmly: "I will just do my job honestly and try my best to solve problems when I encounter them. Everyone has different ways, but hard work and seriousness will not lie."

Bang Geng seemed dissatisfied with Li Xiangqian's answer. He frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, your statement is quite old-fashioned. In fact, don't take it too seriously. You can be lazy when appropriate and just do it casually."

Li Xiangqian's dissatisfaction became more and more obvious. He tried to control his emotions and said calmly: "I think we should be more attentive when doing things. Otherwise, how can we justify our efforts?"

Having said that, Li Xiangqian's heart was a little turbulent. He didn't like Banggeng's frivolous attitude, thinking it was a kind of contempt for serious work. Although he knew he didn't need to pay too much attention to Banggeng's words, this view that was contrary to his own values ​​still made him feel uncomfortable.

As the days passed, Li Xiangqian continued to work in his courtyard. Although he sometimes encountered annoying people or things, he always kept his own pace. Every time he finished a day's work, he would feel tired, but also deeply satisfied. For Li Xiangqian, the hard work and dedication of work are an indispensable part of his life.

One night, Li Xiangqian's wife was sitting at the table, preparing dinner. She saw Li Xiangqian with a slightly tired smile on his face, and she felt distressed. She asked softly, "Is there anything that bothered you today? I saw that you didn't look very well when you came back."

Li Xiangqian sat down, raised his head and looked at his wife, smiling slightly: "Nothing, Banggeng was showing off at the gate of the yard again today, he always likes to do this. Although I tried not to care, I still felt a little uncomfortable."

His wife put down her work, walked over to Li Xiangqian, and gently held his hand: "You don't have to pay too much attention to him. His words are only temporary. What really matters is your efforts and persistence. Everyone sees your hard work, and this is what you should be most proud of."

Li Xiangqian felt his wife's warm hand and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that despite the various voices from the outside world, his persistence and hard work deep in his heart were the most important. He looked at his wife's caring eyes and his inner troubles gradually subsided.

After dinner, Li Xiangqian stood in the yard, gazing at the stars in the night sky. He took a deep breath, as if to expel all the tiredness and unhappiness of the day. The stars twinkled in the night sky, as if conveying a kind of tranquil power to him. His heart gradually calmed down, and he was full of expectations and confidence for tomorrow's work.

Li Xiangqian worked hard in the courtyard for a week and finally finished harvesting most of the grain. Although it was late autumn, the small field was still full of vitality and full of fruits. Whenever he looked at the fruits he had brought home, he would always feel a sense of accomplishment. He knew that these efforts not only improved his life, but also provided invisible support and help to the people around him.

One day, Li Xiangqian was sorting the freshly harvested grains in the yard when he happened to meet his neighbors who were gathered nearby to chat. He walked over with a friendly smile on his face and said, "Hello everyone, today I plan to distribute these fresh grains to everyone. If you need them, you can come and get them."

The neighbors were all surprised and came forward to express their gratitude. "That's great, Xiao Li, you are so thoughtful. We all know how hard you work, and we are very happy to get these grains today." Old Li said with a smile, his eyes sparkling with gratitude.
