Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

"This bread looks good, suitable for the chicks." Li Xiangqian put a few bags of bread into the basket, feeling a little excited. He imagined the chicks pecking at the bread, and a warm feeling of anticipation surged in his heart.

Back in the courtyard, Li Xiangqian cut the bread into small pieces and scattered them on the floor of the chicken coop. The chicks seemed to feel the temptation of the food and ran to the bread crumbs and pecked at them with their small beaks. Seeing their lively appearance, Li Xiangqian felt particularly happy. He squatted down and carefully observed these little guys, feeling full of satisfaction.

"Little guys, you will grow faster if you are full." Li Xiangqian said to the chicks softly, with a hint of doting in his voice. He was filled with an indescribable joy. These chicks were not only new members of his courtyard, but also a touch of warmth and fun in his life.

As time went by, the chicks gradually adapted to the new environment and became more and more lively. Li Xiangqian feeds them every day and plays with them from time to time. Whenever he sees the chicks jumping and foraging happily, he always feels a deep sense of satisfaction. Although living in this courtyard faces various challenges, he feels that his life has become more fulfilling and interesting.

One day, Li Xiangqian's good friend Lao Li came to visit. He saw Li Xiangqian busy in front of the chicken coop and couldn't help showing some surprise and curiosity in his eyes: "Xiangqian, you actually started raising chickens? This is an unexpected surprise."

Li Xiangqian smiled and wiped the dust off his hands: "Yeah, I thought since we have a vegetable shed, we might as well raise a few chickens. They can provide eggs and help clean up bugs. It's quite interesting."

"It seems like you really put a lot of effort into it." Old Li looked at the chicks and smiled. "This is a good way of life. In addition to the hard work, there is also some fun. Maybe this is the real happiness in life."

Li Xiangqian nodded, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that although these words were simple, they were an affirmation and support for his efforts. He felt that his mood became more relaxed, and he was full of hope and confidence in his future life.

Old Li stayed in the chicken coop for a while, then turned to Li Xiangqian and asked, "You take good care of these chicks. Have you encountered any problems? For example, the health of the chicks, the temperature of the environment, etc."

Li Xiangqian shook his head slightly, with a hint of pride in his tone: "So far, we haven't encountered any major problems. I check the health of the chicks every day to make sure the temperature of the environment is appropriate, and I also clean the chicken coop regularly. I hope they can grow up healthily."

Old Li nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "It seems that you have taken good care of these chicks. If you take good care of them, they will bring you a lot of fun."

The two chatted, and Li Xiangqian shared his plans for the courtyard house and his future plans with Lao Li. Despite his busy daily work, he found that communicating and sharing with friends made him feel particularly relaxed and happy. He realized that these simple daily chores and trivial work actually made his life richer and more meaningful.

As the chicks grew up, Li Xiangqian found that they not only became more lively, but also gradually adapted to the life in the courtyard. They began to lay eggs regularly, and Li Xiangqian was able to enjoy fresh eggs every day. These eggs not only added a lot of deliciousness to his table, but also became a small satisfaction in his daily life.

Whenever he sees the lively scene in the chicken coop, his heart is always filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment. He knows that every effort he makes on this land is not only for the harvest of vegetables, but also for the simple and pure joy of life.

As the courtyard gradually became quiet in the evening, Li Xiangqian sat by the vegetable shed, watching the chickens resting peacefully in the chicken coop. He felt a deep sense of peace and satisfaction. Although there are still many challenges and tasks in life, he feels that he has found his own rhythm and direction.

Life in the courtyard gradually became regular, and Li Xiangqian's days were filled with vegetable sheds, chicken coops and daily chores. Although his life was full and busy, he gradually found a unique pleasure, which was to find various ways to achieve his goals in this small world.

As the vegetables gradually grew, pest problems began to emerge in the vegetable shed. Li Xiangqian found that some small insects began to appear on the leaves, which not only affected the growth of the vegetables, but also threatened the future harvest. Although he had taken some measures to control the pests, the results were not as ideal as expected.

"These insects are really a nuisance." Li Xiangqian said to himself, frowning and looking a little worried. He knew that relying solely on chemical agents might have adverse effects on the environment and vegetables, so he began to think about whether there were other ways to solve this problem.

One day, Li Xiangqian was standing in the vegetable shed, looking at the leaves that were gnawed to pieces by insects. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: chicks! He remembered the chicks' high sensitivity to insects and their strong curiosity. Perhaps, he could let these little guys help solve the problem of insect pests?

"Yes, the chicks can definitely help." Li Xiangqian's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he decided to give it a try.

He placed the chicks on the edge of the vegetable shed and carefully observed their behavior. At first, the chicks seemed unfamiliar with the surrounding environment and pecked at the ground in fear. He waited patiently, feeling a little uneasy. Although he was full of hope for this method, he was not sure whether it would really work for the chicks.

As time went by, the chicks seemed to have gradually adapted to the environment. They began to forage for food and peck at insects and eggs. Li Xiangqian gradually relaxed. He saw the chicks dig out some insects with their beaks from time to time, and he felt relieved and satisfied.

"Little guys, you are really useful." Li Xiangqian said to the chicks softly, with a little gratitude in his eyes. He knew that these chicks were not only his life partners, but also his right-hand men in solving problems.

As time went by, the chicks' pecking became more frequent, and the pest problem in the vegetable shed began to ease. Li Xiangqian came to observe the chicks' performance every day, and gradually developed a strong sense of accomplishment. He felt that every effort he made on this land was rewarded, and his life became more fulfilling and interesting.
