Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Thinking of this, Li Xiangqian couldn't help but sigh. He felt a little uneasy. Everyone has something they want to pursue in life, and these things often don't belong to the world in front of them. Li Xiangqian is not young anymore, but his heart is still full of vitality. That desire is not greed for material things, but a yearning for a wider world.

Recently, he and Yi Zhonghai have talked a lot. Yi Zhonghai is like Li Xiangqian. Although he is not young, he always has a spirit of not accepting old age. The two have similar mindsets. They both like to pursue some changes in life and like to challenge some new things. Every time they meet, Yi Zhonghai always brings some new ideas and inspires Li Xiangqian.

One day, Yi Zhonghai suddenly mentioned that there was a piece of vacant land outside that was for sale. The location of the land was good, far away from the hustle and bustle, the surrounding environment was quiet, and there were almost no buildings on the empty land, which was suitable for growing some crops. Li Xiangqian's heart could not help but move. Although he always felt that the land of the courtyard was wide enough, for him, this contact with nature and closeness to the land seemed to have no end.

"Brother Li, don't you want a little more land?" Yi Zhonghai's voice echoed in his ears.

Li Xiangqian nodded, and an inexplicable impulse rose in his heart. The proposal brought by Yi Zhonghai seemed to be a response to the uneasiness in his heart. The land outside might be exactly what he needed.

Ever since he heard the news, he has been restless. No matter how big the Siheyuan land is, it is still limited. The communication between him and Yi Zhonghai also made him feel the attraction of this land. The Siheyuan can no longer meet his deeper needs in life. He longs for more space and more freedom.

He knows that he is not young, and he cannot act that quickly or have that much energy, but he is unwilling to let his dream be limited by his age and the limitations of the present. He likes this pursuit, and he likes this possibility of adding some freshness to his life. For him, this is not only a matter of land, but also an opportunity to break through himself.

That night, he lay in bed, tossing and turning, his mind full of ideas about the land. Yi Zhonghai said that the land was very spacious and he could do something he liked. Li Xiangqian closed his eyes and imagined the land in his mind - a wide field surrounded by big trees, with rolling hills in the distance and moist soil and green grass nearby. And he only needed to plant his favorite potatoes or some fresh vegetables there.

Li Xiangqian opened his eyes slightly, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. That piece of land could lead to a new career, or it could bring him a long-lost peace. After all, the walls of the quadrangle had already trapped him in this small world, and facing every familiar corner, he often felt a little tired. But that piece of land could allow him to break free from these constraints and pursue a wider world.

He sat up, patted his face gently, and slowly made a decision in his mind.

The next day, Li Xiangqian got up early and prepared to meet Yi Zhonghai. The sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and the room was filled with fresh air. After washing up, he stood in front of the mirror, looking at his increasingly old face, and a sense of determination surged in his heart. People always live in a vortex of choices, and every decision can change the direction of life. And this time, he was determined to take this step.

"Brother Li, are you going to see that piece of land today?" Yi Zhonghai's voice was full of enthusiasm. When they met, he had already prepared the car and seemed to be waiting anxiously.

"Yes, go and have a look, don't delay." Li Xiangqian smiled slightly. Although his heart was full of uncertainty, his eyes were extremely firm. The outside world seemed to have an invisible attraction for him that he could not resist.

The two got in the car, driving on a quiet street. Li Xiangqian's eyes swept across the scene outside the car window from time to time, but his heart was full of doubts and expectations. This mixed emotion made him unable to calm down. He knew that every step in life was like a foot in deep water, and once you take it out, you can't turn back. And this time, he knew that he might go further, or he might never come back.

The car traveled through the suburbs, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Gradually, the surrounding buildings began to become sparse, replaced by open land, large fields, vast skies, and a few old trees not far away, like a landscape waiting for him to touch.

"We're here." Yi Zhonghai stopped the car and pointed to an empty land in front.

Li Xiangqian got out of the car and took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, the ground was soft, and the breeze brushed his face. His heart beat faster involuntarily.

He looked around. The land in front of him was broad and vast, with no end in sight. The trees in the distance were sparse, and the mountains were looming at the end of the field of vision. The sun shone on the ground, reflecting a warm glow, and the air was so fresh that it made people intoxicated.

"How is it?" Yi Zhonghai walked up to him and asked softly.

Li Xiangqian gazed at the land, and the turmoil in his heart gradually calmed down, replaced by a peace he had never experienced before. Here, it seemed like there was boundless freedom, he could sow here, and he could also harvest here. He could start his life anew on this land, and live a life without being bound by any constraints.

The corner of his eye twitched slightly, and a strong determination suddenly rose in his heart.

"I want to buy this land." Li Xiangqian suddenly spoke, with a firm strength in his voice.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him and smiled knowingly, as if he had already anticipated this result.

Li Xiangqian's decision was soon implemented. After some negotiations, the land transfer procedures were almost smooth. He and Yi Zhonghai stood together on the newly acquired land, and the surrounding scenery was clearly visible. In one corner of the land were several old locust trees with lush branches and leaves. Above the treetops, the sun shone through the branches and leaves of varying density, casting a mottled shadow on the ground. The mountains in the distance were looming under the blue-gray sky, as if carrying the deepest secrets of this land.

"Brother Li, you must manage this land well. I know you will like it." Yi Zhonghai patted Li Xiangqian on the shoulder, with a smile that was both proud and calm. He seemed to have seen through Li Xiangqian's mind - the desire for new things, the strong desire to get rid of the constraints in front of him.
