Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

"Finally, I don't have to carry water every day." Brother Wang said with a smile.

Li Xiangqian also smiled and said, "Yes, now we can feel more at ease."

When they returned to the courtyard, they reported the good news of finding a water source to everyone. Everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with the water source, their lives would be more convenient and stable.

After the water problem was solved, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more harmonious and united. Everyone realized that only by unity can they cope with any challenges that may arise next. They began to work more closely together, sharing housework and farm work, and striving to improve efficiency to cope with future uncertainties.

Li Xiangqian arranged a small meeting in the yard. He stood in front of everyone and spoke seriously: "Now we have solved the water problem, but the coming winter may still be difficult. We must be more united and face any difficulties that may arise together."

Aunt Zhang continued, "Brother Li is right. We can't relax just because we have solved one problem. We must continue to work hard, stay united, and get through this difficult time together."

Brother Wang also joined the discussion. “We can consider increasing the varieties we plant to improve the yield, or find ways to store more food. As long as we all work together, we will be able to get through this difficult time.”

After hearing everyone's speeches, everyone in the courtyard felt a strong sense of cohesion. They understood that unity is not just a slogan, but also a kind of strength and hope in the face of difficulties.

In the following days, they worked more closely together, helped each other, and shared the pressure of life. Li Xiangqian and Wang Erge were responsible for the management of crops in the fields, while Aunt Zhang focused on housework and food management and distribution. Others also performed their duties and did their own work well, and jointly maintained the operation and life of the courtyard.

Every evening, they gather in the yard to share the day's gains and difficulties. They have a simple dinner, exchange their thoughts and expectations with each other, and make their connection closer and stronger.

Li Xiangqian often looked at the people in the yard at night, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. They were originally a group of strangers, but in the face of life's challenges, they became a close-knit family. He clearly realized that unity is not just for survival, but also a way of life, a belief and hope for the future.

Sometimes, in the silence of the night, he would silently wonder whether their efforts could bring them a better future. He hoped that he could continue to be a good leader and guide everyone towards a bright future.

In an atmosphere of solidarity, everyone contributes to the life of the courtyard in their own way. However, at this time, something unexpected happened in the courtyard.

When Li Xiangqian was about to go out to inspect the farmland in the morning, he accidentally found Xu Damao busy in a corner of the yard. He was puzzled and walked straight to where Xu Damao was. When Xu Damao saw Li Xiangqian coming, he immediately stopped his work with a nervous look.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing here?" Li Xiangqian asked in a serious tone.

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Brother Li, I...I stored some water here."

Li Xiangqian frowned. He had not informed anyone in advance, and the act of storing water privately made him feel uneasy. "Why didn't you tell us? Aren't we supposed to be united?"

Xu Damao raised his head and looked at Li Xiangqian apologetically, "Brother Li, I... I'm afraid of problems and that others won't use water economically. I just want to save it first."

Li Xiangqian was silent for a while. He could understand Xu Damao's concerns, but acting on his own was not in line with their team spirit. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Xu Damao, our unity and trust are the most important. Your behavior will affect our trust."

After hearing this, Xu Damao looked even more annoyed, "I'm sorry, Brother Li, I know I was wrong."

Li Xiangqian sighed deeply. He did not want to cause internal discord because of this matter. He knew very well that the most important thing now was to solve the problem instead of blaming each other.

"Okay, Xu Damao, we need to trust each other from now on, and everything must be open and transparent." Li Xiangqian said in a gentle tone, "Now we need to act in unison and overcome this difficulty together."

Xu Damao nodded to show his understanding. He deeply understood the impact of his mistakes on the team. He was determined to be more cautious in the future and abide by the team's rules and regulations.

This incident did not cause much fluctuation in the courtyard, but it made everyone more aware of the importance of unity. They knew that only through mutual trust and cooperation could they overcome every difficulty they faced.

In the days that followed, they continued to work and live together in solidarity. They faced every challenge in life with a firm and optimistic attitude, because they knew that as long as they were together, they could overcome all difficulties.

Li Xiangqian thinks about how to better lead and manage the affairs of the courtyard every day. He tries to keep himself calm and rational. He hopes to create a better living environment and a more united and harmonious family through his efforts.

Li Xiangqian stood in a corner of the yard, thinking about the next response strategy. Xu Damao's private storage of water made him realize that the resources of the yard needed to be managed more strictly and methodically. He decided to call everyone to a meeting to discuss future plans and response strategies.

That evening, people in the yard gathered together and sat around the fire in the middle of the yard. Li Xiangqian stood in front of everyone with a serious and determined expression.

"Hello everyone, I want to discuss an important matter with you." Li Xiangqian said straight to the point, "Recently, something happened about water resources. Xu Damao secretly stored water. I know his intentions were good, but the unity and trust of our team are very important. We cannot destroy our cooperation because of individual behavior."

The people in the yard listened quietly, knowing that this incident had affected the stability and trust of the entire team. Aunt Zhang nodded seriously, expressing her understanding and support.

"We need clear rules. All resources should be managed openly and transparently." Li Xiangqian continued, "So, from now on, I plan to hold a regular meeting every week so that we can discuss and decide together how to handle important matters in the courtyard."
