Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

One morning, when the pepper seedlings that Li Xiangqian had planted with great effort had just emerged from the ground, Li Xiaojun ran over excitedly, his eyes sparkling with curiosity about the plants.

"Uncle, what are these little seedlings?" Li Xiaojun squatted down and excitedly pointed at the tender green seedlings.

Li Xiangqian saw the excitement in his eyes and felt relieved. He bent down and patiently explained to Li Xiaojun: "These are the pepper seedlings I planted. When they grow up, they will produce red peppers, which are very delicious."

Li Xiaojun was fascinated by what he heard, but he couldn't help but reach out to touch the fragile seedlings. His fingers touched the leaves of the seedlings, and he could clearly see them shaking slightly. Li Xiangqian suddenly felt uneasy, because he knew that these seedlings were still very fragile, and any external interference could affect their growth.

"Li Xiaojun, don't touch them with your hands, be careful not to break them." Li Xiangqian reminded gently, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Li Xiaojun immediately realized that his behavior might not be appropriate, and obediently withdrew his hand. Li Xiangqian saw his reaction and felt a little relieved. He knew that the growth of these seedlings not only required time, but also careful care. Every time he was disturbed, he would feel a little uneasy.

However, the matter did not end there. A few days later, Li Xiangqian found something that shouldn't have appeared in his vegetable garden - a few sticks that had just grown out of the ground. It turned out that Li Xiaojun had picked up some small sticks in the yard and put them in the vegetable garden, causing the roots of several plants to be crushed. Seeing these damaged plants, Li Xiangqian felt unhappy.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then walked to Li Xiaojun's house. The sound at the door attracted Wang Mei's attention. She opened the door and saw Li Xiangqian standing at the door with a serious look on his face. She immediately realized that something had happened.

"Xiang Qian, what's wrong?" Wang Mei asked with a hint of concern in her voice.

"Meizi, I want to talk to you about Li Xiaojun." Li Xiangqian said, his tone revealing a bit of helplessness and distress. He knew that in the face of Li Xiaojun's behavior, he needed to communicate in a gentle but firm way.

Wang Mei nodded and led Li Xiangqian into the house. She knew that her husband's dedication and persistence in the vegetable garden had become a part of his life. She could feel his feelings for these plants and understand his troubles.

"Xiang Qian, you go on." Wang Mei sat down and motioned Li Xiang Qian to continue.

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath and tried to sound calm. "Recently, I found that Li Xiaojun accidentally damaged some plants while playing in the vegetable garden. I know that children are always curious, but I also hope that he can be more careful and not cause harm to the plants."

Wang Mei nodded, a trace of apology on her face. "Xiang Qian, I understand how you feel. Li Xiaojun is indeed a naughty child. I will make it clear to him and ask him to be more careful in your vegetable garden in the future."

Li Xiangqian looked at Wang Mei with gratitude, and felt a little comforted. "Thank you, Meizi. I know you are also very hard-working, and it is not easy to take care of the family and children. I just hope that everyone can understand and cooperate more so that this vegetable garden can grow better."

Wang Mei sighed, her eyes showing some fatigue and concern. "You are right, I will have a good talk with Xiaojun and let him know the importance of these plants. We are all a family, and it is important to understand and support each other."

After the conversation, Li Xiangqian left Wang Mei's home with a sense of relief. Although he was always annoyed when facing small problems, he knew that these problems were not unsolvable. Through communication and understanding, everyone could always find a balance point to make each other's lives more harmonious.

Back in his yard, Li Xiangqian looked at the damaged plants and felt a little distressed. He knew that these plants needed time to recover, but he would not be discouraged by a small setback. He still took good care of them, watering and fertilizing them, trying his best to make them rejuvenated.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian gradually discovered that Li Xiaojun had indeed become more careful. He also became more careful when playing in the vegetable garden and no longer touched the fragile plants casually. Whenever he saw Li Xiaojun playing seriously on the edge of the vegetable garden, Li Xiangqian would feel relieved. Because he knew that this understanding and cooperation made the vegetable garden more vibrant and the relationship between him and his neighbors more harmonious.

On a sunny morning, Li Xiangqian was busy in the vegetable garden as usual. His hands were turning the soil, and his steps were firm and powerful. The leaves looked particularly bright in the morning sun, and the growth of each plant recorded his countless days and nights of hard work. Li Xiangqian was full of satisfaction and expectation, looking forward to the day when these crops would finally have a good harvest.

However, just as he was concentrating on watering, he suddenly heard an unhappy sound. Li Xiangqian looked up and saw Jia Zhangshi, a middle-aged woman from the neighborhood, standing at the edge of the vegetable garden with a somewhat angry look on her face.

Jia Zhang was a tough person who always liked to meddle in trivial matters between neighbors. She and Li Xiangqian did not have a particularly harmonious relationship. Today, she was obviously here to cause trouble. Li Xiangqian felt uneasy, as he knew that Jia Zhang's arrival might mean trouble.

"Li Xiangqian, what are you doing?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jia Zhang's voice.

Li Xiangqian put down the kettle in his hand, walked to Jia Zhang, and tried to ease the atmosphere with a calm tone. "Jia Zhang, good morning. I'm watering the plants in the vegetable garden. They need daily care."

Jia Zhang glared at him, her lips curled up slightly, and her tone was somewhat provocative. "Take care of it? Look at your vegetable garden, the whole place is a mess, the soil is very dry, it's simply a mess. How can you grow good things if you manage it like this?"

Li Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and a feeling of dissatisfaction rose in his heart. He knew that he was doing his best to manage the vegetable garden, and although the soil was sometimes a little dry due to weather reasons, it was never so exaggerated.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, although my vegetable garden may not be perfect in some places, I have been trying my best to take care of it. I check the soil, water and fertilize every day to ensure that the plants can grow healthily." Li Xiangqian tried to explain, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.
