Li Xiangqian nodded, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that everything he did was not only for his family, but also for the harmony of this small community. He smiled and said, "Thank you for being so polite. I just did something within my ability. Everyone come and take some. I hope everyone can have a share."

As time went by, neighbors came to Li Xiangqian's yard one after another and took the food they needed. Everyone left with a satisfied smile, and Li Xiangqian felt extremely happy. He looked at this scene and felt proud of his previous decision.

At dinner time, Li Xiangqian's wife was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. She looked up and saw Li Xiangqian with a satisfied smile on his face. She couldn't help asking, "Everyone got food today. Are you feeling happy?"

Li Xiangqian nodded, walked to the kitchen door, and gently hugged his wife: "Yes, seeing everyone's satisfied look, I feel very relieved. I have always thought that if these resources are distributed fairly, everyone will have a share, so that our efforts can be truly reflected."

The wife showed a trace of relief in her eyes and said softly: "You are always so considerate and thoughtful. Everyone knows your efforts. In fact, as long as we do our best, we will feel satisfied in our hearts."

Li Xiangqian returned to the yard and continued to sort out some of the remaining food. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, as his previous hard work and efforts were finally rewarded. He looked at this small piece of land, as if it was giving back to him in its own way for every effort he made.

At this time, Bang Geng appeared again. It seemed that he had also heard about Li Xiangqian's good deeds. He walked into the yard with a smile on his face, but Li Xiangqian could sense that there was a hint of mockery in that smile.

"Hey, Xiao Li, your distribution is really good. Everyone can get your food. Your kindness is really admirable." Bang Geng said half-jokingly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Li Xiangqian looked at Banggeng, feeling a little unhappy, but still keeping a calm expression: "I think fairness is the most important thing. Everyone has something they need, I just hope to do my best so that everyone can get something."

Bang Geng didn't seem to be completely satisfied with this answer. He scratched his head and said half-jokingly: "Alas, you are such a conservative person. It wouldn't hurt to be a little more flexible in life."

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Banggeng, his heart was no longer disturbed. Facing Banggeng's provocation, he remained calm. He knew that this kind of person might never understand the fairness and sincerity he pursued, but this did not prevent him from continuing to stick to his principles.

After dinner, Li Xiangqian returned to his small study and lit a warm lamp. He sat at the table and flipped through some books about planting and distribution. The various sounds and scenes of today were still echoing in his mind. He knew that fair distribution was not only a requirement for himself, but also a respect for others. Although he sometimes encountered some objections and challenges, he firmly believed that as long as he remained fair in his heart, all his efforts would be rewarded.

As winter approaches, the atmosphere in the courtyard becomes quiet and cold. Li Xiangqian is busy sorting out the remaining food in the courtyard to prepare for the winter. Although the wind is biting outside, the courtyard remains orderly. While working, Li Xiangqian recalls what has happened in the past few days, and his heart is filled with a faint sense of satisfaction.

On this day, Jia Zhang walked into the courtyard. Jia Zhang was another neighbor nearby. Although she did not have much contact with Li Xiangqian, she often had friction with him over some trivial matters. She was stubborn and difficult to communicate with. This time she came to Li Xiangqian with a dissatisfaction that was difficult to conceal.

Li Xiangqian saw Jia Zhang coming and stepped forward with a smile: "Jia Zhang, you are here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Jia Zhang looked around and frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied: "Li Xiangqian, your distribution of grain is really a big trouble. Although your distribution has allowed everyone to get something, it is not fair enough."

Li Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and a wave of doubt surged in his heart. He knew that he had tried his best to be fair, but Jia Zhang's words seemed to have other meanings. He asked calmly: "Jia Zhang, what do you think is unfair?"

Jia Zhang raised the bag of grain in her hand and said with some dissatisfaction in her voice: "There are a few bad beans and bugs in my bag of grain. How did they get to me?"

Li Xiangqian was slightly shocked. He had not noticed these problems before. He felt sorry for them, but he tried to stay calm and replied politely: "I will check every bag of grain carefully to make sure there are no problems. If you find any problems, please tell me and I will deal with them immediately."

Jia Zhang was obviously not satisfied with this answer. She said coldly: "This is not just a problem of bad beans. I also heard that there are differences in the amount of food distributed to everyone. I think your distribution is not reasonable and should be redistributed."

Li Xiangqian was a little unhappy, but he still tried to control his emotions. He knew that he had tried his best to distribute the food, and each portion was carefully calculated. He smiled and said, "I have distributed it according to everyone's needs and the principle of distribution. If you think there is any unfairness, we can check it together."

Jia Zhang obviously didn't intend to give up. She stood in the yard, her voice getting louder and louder: "I don't care how you distribute it. I just think it's unfair. I also heard that some people got more food than me. There's something wrong with the food here. You have to give me an explanation!"

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath and felt a little irritated. He felt that he had tried his best to be fair, but faced with Jia Zhang's unreasonableness, he felt a little helpless. However, he still maintained his politeness and patience: "Jia Zhang, I will check the issues you mentioned and make sure everything is within a reasonable range. Please wait a moment, I will deal with it immediately."

He turned around and found a small shovel and began to check the grain problem mentioned by Jia Zhang. Although he was a little unhappy, he knew that he had to convince others with reason when facing these problems. He carefully checked Jia Zhang's grain and indeed found some bad beans and bugs. He felt a little sorry. This situation should not have happened.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I have checked and there are indeed some problems. I will replace a good portion of food for you immediately, and will also recheck the other allocated food." Li Xiangqian said seriously, trying his best to appear objective and fair.
