Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Liu Haizhong sat down and chatted with them about family matters: "In fact, life is not easy for everyone, but sometimes if you change your mindset, life will become easier."

Li Xiangqian nodded, feeling a little touched: "Yes, sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves and ignore the little joys in life."

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "You are right. In fact, happiness in life lies in these little things. As long as we feel it with our heart, we will find that hard work is also a kind of happiness."

These words made Li Xiangqian suddenly enlightened. He knew that although life was a little hard, as long as the family was together and faced it together, every minute and every second of life was worth cherishing. He decided not to let stress and fatigue occupy his heart, but to enjoy more time with his family.

Late at night, Li Xiangqian and his wife returned to their room and lay on the bed, feeling more relaxed than ever before. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as he had the company of his family and neighbors, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and create a better life.

In the following days, Li Xiangqian continued to work hard, but his mentality changed. He no longer pursued perfection blindly, but learned to accept the imperfections in life and to enjoy the fun and sense of accomplishment brought by labor. He spent fulfilling and meaningful days with his family and neighbors.

One evening, Li Xiangqian and Xiaogang were working in the fields. The sun was setting, and the golden light was shining on the fields, giving everything a warm color. Xiaogang looked up at his father and asked, "Dad, will we always be like this in the future?"

Li Xiangqian smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xiaogang, we will always be like this, working hard together and being happy together."

Xiaogang smiled brightly and held his father's hand tightly: "Dad, I love you."

Li Xiangqian felt warm in his heart and held his son's hand tightly: "I love you, too, Xiaogang. No matter how difficult the future is, we will always be together."

As night fell, the courtyard was quiet. Li Xiangqian sat in the yard, looking at the stars in the sky, but he was filled with self-doubt. He always felt that he was not doing well enough. Although he worked hard every day and his family and neighbors were full of affirmation and praise for him, he still felt deeply inadequate.

"Xiang Qian, what are you thinking about?" his wife came over with a cup of hot tea and asked with concern.

Li Xiangqian took the teacup, took a sip, and said with a wry smile: "I always feel that I am not doing well enough. There are still so many things at home that I haven't dealt with, and I am always too busy with the work in the fields."

His wife gently held his hand and comforted him: "Go forward, you have tried very hard. No one is perfect, and we cannot expect ourselves to be perfect. What's important is that you have been contributing to our family, and that is already remarkable."

Li Xiangqian felt a little relieved after hearing what his wife said, but he still felt a little worried: "But sometimes I feel that I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a good husband and a good father. Many times, you are still the one who worries about the family affairs, but I can't help."

His wife smiled and patted his shoulder gently: "We both shoulder the responsibility of the house together. It's not your responsibility alone. Besides, you work so hard in the fields every day. How can I think you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities?"

Li Xiangqian felt his wife's understanding and support, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that he could not always be immersed in self-doubt, but should pay more attention to his own efforts and contributions. He raised his head, looked at his wife, and said firmly: "Thank you for your continued support. I will continue to work hard to make our lives better and better."

The wife smiled gently and said softly: "Go forward, I believe in you. As long as we work together, things will get better and better."

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard. Li Xiangqian looked up and saw that it was his neighbor Yi Zhonghai who was walking over. He had a hint of anxiety on his face, as if he needed Li Xiangqian's help with something.

"Xiang Qian, I'm sorry to bother you so late. My bicycle is broken and I have to go to the city early tomorrow morning for some urgent business. Could you please help me fix it?" Yi Zhonghai said embarrassedly.

Li Xiangqian stood up and answered readily: "No problem, I'll go and take a look." He knew that Yi Zhonghai usually took good care of him, so how could he not help at this time?

Li Xiangqian walked into Yi Zhonghai's yard and saw the broken bicycle. He quickly thought of a solution. He picked up the tools and carefully checked it. He found that the chain was the problem. He squatted down and repaired it carefully. Although the process was a bit complicated, he did not hesitate to start, thinking that he must help his neighbor solve this problem.

While repairing, Li Xiangqian thought that although he was not perfect, as long as he could help others and make everyone's life better, that was enough. His hands were covered with oil, but he felt warm and satisfied in his heart.

After a while, the chain was finally repaired. Li Xiangqian wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Okay, the chain is fixed, you try it."

Yi Zhonghai tried it and found that the bicycle ran smoothly. A satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, Xiang Qian, you really helped a lot."

Li Xiangqian waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just a small favor. You can leave early tomorrow, and come to me if you need anything."

Yi Zhonghai nodded gratefully: "Xiang Qian, you are such a good neighbor. It is our blessing to have a good person like you in our courtyard."

Li Xiangqian felt warm and encouraged after hearing these words. He knew that although he sometimes felt that he was not doing well enough, in the eyes of his neighbors, he was already a trustworthy and reliable person. This made him feel extremely satisfied and proud.

After returning home, Li Xiangqian washed his hands and his wife had prepared hot tea for him. He sat down and took a sip of the hot tea, feeling a warm feeling rising from the bottom of his heart. He looked at his wife with gratitude and love in his eyes: "Thank you for always supporting me and giving me the motivation to do more."

The wife smiled and nodded: "We are a family and should support each other. As long as we work together, the future will definitely get better and better."

Li nodded, his heart full of confidence and hope. He knew that there would be many challenges and difficulties in the days ahead, but as long as he had the company of his family and neighbors, he would be able to overcome everything and create a better life. In this courtyard full of hope and warmth, he would continue to work hard to bring more happiness and joy to his family and neighbors.
