Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

One afternoon, when Li Xiangqian was busy in the vegetable garden, he found that the number of mosquitoes had decreased significantly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He looked up at Wang Mei and said with a smile: "Meizi, it seems that these mosquito repellent products are very effective. Thank you for helping me solve this problem."

Wang Mei came over and gently patted Li Xiangqian's shoulder, with a hint of mischief in her tone: "Of course, after all, I am doing this to make it easier for you to work. However, in this kind of weather, we should also pay attention to rest and not overwork ourselves."

Li Xiangqian nodded, his eyes full of gratitude to Wang Mei. He knew that although he would encounter various problems at work, Wang Mei's support and care always made him feel strong and encouraged. His heart was full of love for life and expectations for the future.

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Wang Mei continued to work in the vegetable garden. Their work became smoother and their mood gradually became happier. Whenever Li Xiangqian stood in the vegetable garden and felt the breeze, he would feel a sense of satisfaction. He knew that every effort and improvement in life would bring unexpected gains and happiness.

On a sunny afternoon, Li Xiangqian and Wang Mei sat together on a stone bench in the yard, enjoying a moment of tranquility. They talked about their future plans and dreams, their hearts full of enthusiasm and expectations for life.

Li Xiangqian sat on a stone bench by the vegetable garden, holding a handful of fresh potatoes he had just dug out of the ground. The sun shone through the branches and leaves on him, creating mottled shadows. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was filled with anxiety and confusion in his heart. A recent incident had made him very disappointed, and this emotion was like a entangled vine, gradually making it difficult for him to breathe.

A few days ago, Li Xiangqian met a new vendor in the market. The vendor claimed that his products were "especially high-quality seeds and fertilizers" and guaranteed to increase yields. After hearing this, Li Xiangqian was moved and decided to give it a try. He spent a lot of money to buy these seeds and fertilizers, and was full of expectations for their effects. Unexpectedly, after planting these seeds, the growth was far less than he expected. In particular, several seedlings that had been growing well before began to shrink and even had diseases and insect pests.

"What's wrong with these seeds and fertilizers?" Li Xiangqian muttered to himself, frowning. This question lingered in his mind for several days, making him angry and helpless. He knew that if the problem was not solved in time, it might have a serious impact on the harvest of the entire vegetable garden, which would not only affect his work, but also his and Wang Mei's lives.

Wang Mei noticed that Li Xiangqian's mood had changed. She walked over with concern, sat next to him, and asked softly, "Xiangqian, you look a little troubled. Is there something wrong?"

Li Xiangqian raised his head, with a trace of fatigue and dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Mei Zi, those seeds and fertilizers I bought recently are really disappointing. I originally had high expectations for them, but now it seems that their effects are far less than what the vendors said."

Wang Mei felt a little worried after hearing this. "This is really frustrating. Should we go find the vendor and ask him what went wrong?"

Li nodded forward, his heart full of struggle. He knew that in the face of this situation, he had to take action to prevent the situation from getting worse. "I'm also thinking about going to him to see if I can get a reasonable explanation or compensation."

That afternoon, Li Xiangqian and Wang Mei came to the stall in the market, where the vendor was still displaying his merchandise. When the vendor saw Li Xiangqian coming, he immediately came forward with a big smile.

"Oh, Mr. Li, you're here! How are those seeds and fertilizers being used?" the vendor asked enthusiastically, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Li Xiangqian suppressed his inner anger and tried to stay calm: "Actually, I came here to talk to you about the effects of the seeds and fertilizers I bought. Now there are many problems in my vegetable garden, and I hope to get an explanation."

The vendor's smile froze for a moment, and his eyes flashed with a hint of uneasiness, but he quickly regained his composure. He gave a dry laugh and then said, "Oh, that may be due to the wrong usage method or environmental factors. In fact, these seeds and fertilizers work very well in other places."

Li Xiangqian was immediately dissatisfied after hearing this. "Merchant, I understand all the problems you are talking about, but I hope you can give me a clear solution instead of just an explanation."

Wang Mei also added: "We have used it according to the instructions. If there are any problems, I hope you can give us a reasonable solution."

The vendor's attitude became a little unnatural, and his eyes began to evade. "Well... Actually, our products are strictly screened, and the problem may lie in other aspects. I suggest you observe it for a while, maybe it will get better."

Li Xiangqian felt helpless and his anger was rising. He understood that the vendor was not sincere and was probably just trying to get by. He turned to look at Wang Mei and felt a little disappointed. Wang Mei also showed a hint of disappointment. She knew the complexity of the matter and it seemed that this shopping experience had caused them a lot of trouble.

"It seems that we need to reconsider our next move." Li Xiangqian said in a heavy tone, "We can consider looking for some reputable merchants, or seek some professional advice."

Wang Mei nodded in agreement. "We need to find a reliable solution instead of continuing to be deceived by these irresponsible vendors."

Li Xiangqian was filled with helplessness and anger, but he knew that he had to remain calm and take concrete actions in the face of problems. Although he was filled with frustration, he also had a firm determination to solve these problems and restore the vegetable garden to normal.

After returning home, Li Xiangqian and Wang Mei discussed their next plan in the yard. They decided to temporarily stop using those unreliable fertilizers and seeds, look for reliable suppliers again, and consult some experienced gardeners to find better solutions.

"Meizi, I know that we are all very disappointed with this experience, but we can't let these setbacks defeat us." Li Xiangqian said in a firm tone, with an indomitable strength surging in his heart.

Wang Mei gently held Li Xiangqian's hand, her eyes full of encouragement and understanding. "We will definitely find a way to solve the problem. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome these difficulties."
