Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

"Thank you, Grandpa He, I will keep your teachings in mind." Li Xiangqian said respectfully, his heart full of gratitude and respect for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu nodded, a gleam of relief flashing in his eyes. "Remember, keep moving forward. No matter how big the difficulties are, you must stick to your beliefs and move forward bravely. Only in this way can we overcome all difficulties and welcome a better tomorrow."

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath, his heart filled with hope and confidence for the future. Under He Yuzhu's guidance, he felt that he had become stronger and braver, able to face the challenges and difficulties ahead.

In Li Xiangqian's heart, he not only wanted to solve the current food shortage problem for the people in the courtyard, but also had a more ambitious plan. He began to consider that in addition to food, water is also one of the necessities of life, especially in the face of drought and famine. Therefore, he decided to find a way to store a large amount of water in case of emergency.

Li Xiangqian came to a small river near the yard. He stood quietly on the shore, staring at the clear river water, his heart full of thoughts and plans.

"Water is the source of life and an indispensable part of our lives," he said to himself, his eyes revealing firm determination.

Li Xiangqian began to think about how to store a large amount of water for emergency use. He considered that he should first find a suitable water storage site and then find a way to store the water for future use.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a voice suddenly broke his silence. "Li Xiangqian, what are you doing here?"

Li Xiangqian looked up and found that it was an elderly man in the yard, Zhao Yunshan. He was a hardworking old farmer in the yard and was full of love and care for Li Xiangqian.

"Uncle Zhao, I'm trying to find a way to solve our water problem," Li Xiangqian said frankly.

Zhao Yunshan frowned after hearing this. "Water problem? Are you saying there is still a water problem now?"

Li nodded forward, "Yes, I think we should stockpile some water in case of emergency. After all, water is the source of life, and we cannot ignore its importance."

Zhao Yunshan thought for a while, then nodded. "You are right. Water is indeed very important. I support your idea. We can plan it together."

Li Xiangqian was moved when he heard Zhao Yunshan's support. He knew that with the support of an elder like Zhao Yunshan, his plan would be more successful.

While Li Xiangqian was making a water storage plan, he also began to worry about another problem - how to prevent people in the yard from stealing the stored water. In particular, he was a little worried about Banggeng's behavior because he felt that this person was a bit insidious and cunning and not very reliable.

So Li Xiangqian decided to take some measures to prevent the water from being stolen. After discussing with Zhao Yunshan, he decided to set up some monitoring devices at the water storage site to monitor the water usage at any time. In addition, they also planned to set up some obstacles and warning signs around the water storage site to remind people in the yard of the importance of water and not to waste it at will.

While implementing these measures, Li Xiangqian was full of contradictions and uneasiness. He knew that although these measures could effectively prevent the theft of water, they would also bring certain inconveniences and constraints to the people in the courtyard. He began to worry that doing so would cause dissatisfaction and resistance among the people, thus affecting the implementation of the entire water storage plan.

At the same time, Li Xiangqian began to doubt his own judgment. He couldn't help but wonder whether his view of Banggeng was correct or whether he was too subjective. Perhaps Banggeng was just an ordinary person, not so sinister and cunning, but he was labeled as such because of a momentary misunderstanding.

This inner struggle made Li Xiangqian feel irritable and uneasy. He didn't know how to make the right decision, how to protect water resources without hurting the feelings and interests of the people in the yard.

Finally, under the persuasion of Zhao Yunshan, Li Xiangqian decided to try to implement these measures first, and then adjust and improve them according to the actual situation. He believed that as long as everyone could understand and support them, everything would go smoothly and water resources would be effectively protected and utilized.

While thinking about protecting water resources, Li Xiangqian accidentally learned a piece of news about corn seeds. This news made him brighten up, because corn is a crop with a short growth cycle, high yield and strong adaptability. If it can be successfully planted, it will provide abundant food resources for the people in the yard.

Li Xiangqian was eager to get the corn seeds so that he could start planting as soon as possible. He knew that it was not easy to get the corn seeds, but he was determined to bring them back to the yard at all costs.

After careful investigation and communication, Li Xiangqian finally found a businessman who was willing to sell corn seeds. They met in a remote corner to discuss the transaction.

"Hello, I heard that you have corn seeds and I want to buy some." Li Xiangqian said bluntly.

The businessman looked at Li Xiangqian carefully, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. "Yes, I have some corn seeds, but they are not so easy to buy. What are you going to do with them?"

Li Xiangqian said frankly: "I want to use these corn seeds to grow corn to solve the food problem in the yard. I promise to give you a reasonable price."

The businessman hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Okay, since you have such intention, I will sell you some. However, the price is not cheap."

Li Xiangqian was delighted, knowing that he had finally obtained these precious corn seeds. He agreed to the merchant's price without hesitation and immediately paid for the corn seeds.

When he left the merchant with those small seeds, his heart was filled with joy and expectation. He knew that these corn seeds would become the hope of the future life of the people in the yard, and also the testimony and achievement of his efforts.

When Li Xiangqian was preparing to plant corn, he suddenly received a call for help from an old man in the yard, Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was a gentle and kind old man, and his eyes revealed a kind of determination and expectation, which made people feel respect.

"Li Xiangqian, I heard that you got some corn seeds, and I want to ask you for help." Qin Huairu's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and expectation.

Li Xiangqian stopped what he was doing, turned around and faced Qin Huairu, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qin, what help do you need? Just tell me, I will do my best to help you."
