Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

He Yuzhu nodded, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Brother Xiangqian, thank you for your help all the time. Sometimes I feel that I am not very good at expressing myself, but I am really grateful to you in my heart."

Li Xiangqian patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said gently: "We are friends, no need to be polite. You have also helped me a lot. Let's relax together this time and enjoy it."

When they arrived at the river, they chose a flat grassland to set up camp. Li Xiangqian skillfully set up the tent, while He Yuzhu was responsible for preparing the fishing equipment. After everything was ready, the two sat by the river and looked at the water quietly.

"Brother Xiang Qian, do you have any special memories when you came here to fish with your father as a child?" He Yuzhu suddenly asked.

Li Xiangqian pondered for a moment, his eyes gentle: "There are many. I remember one time, my dad taught me how to tie a fishhook. At that time, I always tied it wrong, so he patiently taught me again and again. Another time, we fished for a whole day. Although we only caught a few small fish, we talked a lot that day and I learned a lot of life lessons. Those times were really wonderful."

He Yuzhu listened quietly, and thought of the time he spent with his family. Although he lives alone now, he feels more warm and powerful in his heart.

During the fishing process, Li Xiangqian occasionally taught He Yuzhu some skills, and the two worked well together and caught a lot of fish. The sun shone on the water, sparkling, and the whole river was filled with a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

In the evening, as the sun was setting, the two decided to go back to the camp to prepare dinner. He Yuzhu was responsible for making a fire, while Li Xiangqian was responsible for processing the fish they caught. Soon, the camp was filled with the tempting aroma of fish.

"Brother Xiang Qian, you are really an expert at fishing. You caught so many fish so quickly." He Yuzhu exclaimed with a satisfied smile on his face.

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Thanks to your help. Without you, we wouldn't be able to do this smoothly. After dinner, we can chat and share our stories."

After dinner, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu sat by the fire next to the camp. The firelight reflected their faces, which looked particularly warm. Li Xiangqian spoke first: "Yuzhu, you have always been a hardworking person, but I feel that you sometimes have a lot of things in your heart. Just say whatever you want to say. We are all friends."

He Yuzhu lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "Brother Xiangqian, I have always had a dream, which is to have a small farm of my own, grow some crops I like, and raise some poultry. However, I always feel that this dream is far away from me, and sometimes I feel powerless."

Li Xiangqian was moved when he heard this. He looked at He Yuzhu with a firm look in his eyes: "Yuzhu, dreams are the driving force of our lives. You have been working so hard, and you are not far from realizing your dreams. Let's work together, and I will help you."

He Yuzhu looked at Li Xiangqian gratefully, tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Brother Xiangqian. With you around, I really feel very motivated. Let's work together to build a better courtyard so that everyone can live a better life."

As the night deepened, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu were still chatting by the fire, sharing their stories and dreams. Li Xiangqian felt extremely fulfilled and satisfied. He knew that he was not only building a courtyard house, but also helping everyone realize their dreams. On this road, he also found his own meaning and value.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu packed up the camp and prepared to return to the courtyard. After returning to the courtyard, Li Xiangqian shared his fishing experience with other residents, and everyone expressed envy and admiration. Li Xiangqian secretly decided to organize more such activities in the future so that everyone can relax and enjoy the fun of life.

One evening, Li Xiangqian was preparing dinner. He cleaned the fresh fish he had caught from the river and placed it on the stone table in the yard. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the courtyard, casting a golden glow. The residents of the courtyard were also busy with their own things, and the whole courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Li Xiangqian was busy preparing ingredients, thinking that tonight's fish soup would satisfy everyone. Just as he was busy cutting vegetables, a short figure quietly approached the fresh fish. It was Banggeng, a famous "naughty boy" in the courtyard. Banggeng came from a poor family and liked to steal things from other people's homes since he was a child. Everyone loved and hated him.

Bang Geng aimed at the fish and thought to himself, "These fish look so good. My mother will be very happy if I can take them home." He looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention. Then he quickly put the fish into his cloth bag and quietly slipped away.

After a while, Li Xiangqian returned to the stone table and was shocked to find that the fish was gone. He immediately looked around and saw Banggeng running away in a hurry in the distance, and immediately understood about 70% of the situation.

"Bang Geng! Stop!" Li Xiangqian shouted loudly and quickly chased after him.

Bang Geng heard the shouts and knew he was discovered, so he ran even faster. He was extremely nervous, and thinking back to the time when he was blamed by everyone for stealing things, he felt guilty and scared.

Li Xiangqian chased him through several alleys and finally caught Banggeng in a corner. Banggeng's face was red, he was panting, and he lowered his head and dared not look at Li Xiangqian.

"Banggeng, why did you steal the fish?" Li Xiangqian asked seriously.

Bang Geng lowered his head and said weakly, "I... I just want to take it home for my mother. She hasn't eaten fresh fish for a long time."

Li Xiangqian felt sad when he heard this. He knew Banggeng's family was in financial difficulty, but stealing was wrong. He softened his tone and said, "Banggeng, I understand your feelings, but stealing is wrong. If you have any difficulties, you can tell everyone and everyone will help you."

Banggeng raised his head, his eyes filled with tears: "I'm sorry, Brother Xiangqian, I was wrong. I will never steal anything again."

Li Xiangqian patted Banggeng on the shoulder and said, "A good kid is one who knows his mistakes and can correct them. Come, let's go back together and talk things out."

Back at the courtyard, Li Xiangqian told everyone about Banggeng. Although the residents were somewhat dissatisfied with Banggeng, they all expressed their understanding after listening to Li Xiangqian's explanation. Aunt Zhang came over, touched Banggeng's head, and said, "Don't be afraid, kid, we will help you. If you have any difficulties in the future, tell everyone and don't steal things anymore."

Bang Geng blushed and nodded, saying, "Thank you, everyone. I will definitely change it in the future."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Okay, Banggeng, return the fish now and we'll prepare dinner together. You can also eat with us tonight."
