Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Banggen nodded gratefully, took the fish out of the bag and gave it back to Li Xiangqian. The residents all helped to prepare dinner. Soon, the fragrant fish soup was served on the table. Everyone sat around and ate with gusto.

After dinner, Li Xiangqian talked with Banggeng for a long time. He knew that although Banggeng was naughty, he was not a bad person by nature, but he just lacked proper guidance and care. Li Xiangqian decided to pay more attention to Banggeng in the future and help him get back on the right track.

In the following days, Li Xiangqian often took Banggeng to do various farm work, taught him how to grow vegetables and raise chickens, and helped him establish correct values. Banggeng gradually became sensible, no longer naughty as before, but studied seriously and worked hard.

Life in the Siheyuan continued in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Li Xiangqian looked at the changes in everyone and felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. He knew that his efforts had not only changed the environment of the Siheyuan, but also changed everyone here. Under his leadership, the Siheyuan became more and more beautiful, and the residents became happier and happier.

On a summer afternoon, the sun shines through the leaves onto the ground of the courtyard, creating a mottled pattern. Li Xiangqian stands in the courtyard, looking at the sky in the distance, thinking about his next plan. He recently noticed that the children in the courtyard are always hungry after school, so he wants to prepare some snacks for them. Thinking of this, he decided to buy some biscuits to satisfy the children's cravings.

He walked over to the flower bed that He Yuzhu was repairing and said, "Yuzhu, I'm going to buy some cookies for the children to eat after school. Do you want to come with me?"

He Yuzhu smiled, put down the tools in his hands, and nodded, "Okay, Brother Xiangqian, I just want to buy some daily necessities, let's go together."

As they walked and talked, He Yuzhu suddenly asked, "Brother Xiangqian, did you also like to eat cookies when you were a child?"

Li Xiangqian smiled and reminisced: "Yes, when I was a child, my family was not well off and we only had biscuits during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. At that time, I felt very happy to have a piece of biscuit. Now that conditions are better, I hope to give my children some happy memories."

He Yuzhu nodded, and his admiration for Li Xiangqian increased. The two soon arrived at a nearby small supermarket, where the dazzling array of goods was dazzling. Li Xiangqian went straight to the snack area and picked out some various biscuits. He Yuzhu also picked out some daily necessities he needed.

When checking out, the cashier smiled and said to Li Xiangqian, "Xiangqian, are you going to give all these cookies to the children in the yard? You are really thoughtful."

Li Xiangqian smiled modestly: "The children are always hungry after school, so I thought of preparing some snacks for them to make them happy."

Back in the courtyard, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu put the biscuits on the stone table in the middle of the courtyard. Just then, the children came back from school and saw the biscuits on the table, their eyes lit up.

"Wow! So many cookies!" Xiao Ming was the first to run over and shouted excitedly.

Li Xiangqian smiled and called the children: "Come, everyone, have some cookies. Remember not to fight over them, take them one by one."

The children gathered around the table, picking up the cookies in an orderly manner, with satisfied smiles on their faces. Li Xiangqian looked at them, his heart filled with satisfaction.

Xiaofang also came over, took a biscuit, and said to Li Xiangqian gratefully: "Brother Xiangqian, you always think about everyone so much. You are really the big brother of our courtyard."

Li Xiangqian waved his hand and said gently: "We are all a family. I am very satisfied to see you happy."

As night fell, the courtyard returned to its tranquility. Li Xiangqian sat in the courtyard, thinking back to today's events, and felt extremely warm in his heart. He knew that his efforts were recognized by everyone, which made him feel very relieved.

At this time, Aunt Zhang came over with a plate of fruit and said with a smile: "Xiang Qian, you have worked really hard today. Come, eat some fruit and replenish your vitamins."

Li Xiangqian took the fruit and said gratefully: "Thank you, Auntie. This is what I should do. I feel at ease when everyone lives a good life."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "You are always so modest. We all see that your hard work has not been in vain. The courtyard is getting better and better. We are all very grateful to you."

Li Xiangqian felt warm inside, knowing that all this was the result of everyone's joint efforts. He said firmly: "Auntie, the courtyard is our home. If we work together, our lives will get better and better."

Late at night, Li Xiangqian returned to his room, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and thought about everything. He thought about the road he had walked, his father's teachings, and everyone in the courtyard. He knew that there would be many challenges in the future, but as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to overcome difficulties and create a better life.

Early in the morning, Li Xiangqian stood at the gate of the courtyard. The morning air was particularly fresh. He took a deep breath and felt refreshed. Today, he planned to go to the market to buy some daily necessities and see if there were any new gadgets he could bring back for the children in the courtyard.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he happened to run into his neighbor, Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang was carrying a basket of vegetables, and was obviously going to the market. Seeing Li Xiangqian, Aunt Zhang smiled and greeted him: "Xiangqian, are you going to buy something?"

Li Xiangqian nodded and responded with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Zhang, I'm just about to go to the market to buy some daily necessities. Do you want to go too? Let's go together."

Aunt Zhang readily agreed, and the two chatted as they walked. Li Xiangqian thought to himself that if he could find some fresh fruits and vegetables at the market, he could bring some surprises to the residents of the courtyard, especially the children, who always like to try new things.

Walking into the market, Li Xiangqian and Aunt Zhang were quickly attracted by the lively scene. Various stalls were filled with all kinds of goods, and the hawking sounds were heard one after another. Li Xiangqian first walked to a stall selling fresh fruits. The stall owner was a middle-aged man. When he saw Li Xiangqian, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Xiao Li, come and buy some fruit. Today's apples are especially sweet!"

Li Xiangqian smiled and nodded, picking some apples and oranges, thinking that the children would be very happy to see these fresh fruits. He continued to walk around the market, and suddenly, a small toy on a stall caught his attention.

There were all kinds of toys on the stall, including windmills, spinning tops, and some handmade puppets. Li walked over, picked up an exquisite puppet, and looked at it carefully. This handicraft brought back his childhood memories. When he was a child, he had similar toys and he never tired of playing with them.
