Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

He Yuzhu nodded, and the two agreed on a specific plan and decided to start construction as soon as possible. They not only had to ensure the food safety of the storage room, but also process the food into more valuable products to improve the quality of life of the entire courtyard.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu built a small processing workshop in another corner of the courtyard. When the neighbors saw them busy, they came to help. Li Xiangqian was full of gratitude, knowing that it was with everyone's support that this small courtyard could become so warm and harmonious.

With the completion of the processing workshop, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu began to try to process various grains. The corn flour and soy milk powder they made were soon popular in the market, and sales continued to increase. Li Xiangqian was filled with a sense of accomplishment, knowing that his efforts had finally paid off.

One day, Lou Xiao'e came to the processing workshop and looked at the busy machines with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Li Xiangqian saw her and greeted her with a smile: "Xiao'e, come and see our new products."

Lou Xiao'e walked closer and looked carefully at the freshly processed corn flour and soy milk powder, with an appreciative expression on her face: "Brother Li, you guys are doing really well. These things seem to have a good market."

Li Xiangqian nodded, his heart full of pride: "Yes, now we can not only eat it ourselves, but also sell it to make some money and improve everyone's life."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes flashed with tenderness. She found that Li Xiangqian was not only a hard-working person, but also a responsible person. His efforts and dedication not only changed his life, but also made the whole courtyard better. She secretly decided to work hard with Li Xiangqian and contribute to the future of this courtyard.

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e were busy in the processing workshop, facing the challenges of life together. As time went by, their feelings continued to deepen. In the courtyard, the relationship between neighbors became more and more harmonious, and everyone worked together to pursue a better future.

Li Xiangqian walked out of the door and felt the biting cold wind blowing towards him. He wrapped his cotton coat tightly and took a deep breath. The white mist he exhaled instantly dissipated in the air. This winter is particularly cold, which makes him a little worried. There are many elderly people and children in the courtyard. Whether they can survive this severe winter is something he is always concerned about.

Standing in the yard, he looked around and saw his neighbors busying themselves with work, some piling snow, others chopping wood, with a hint of cold on their faces. Li Xiangqian decided to check the heating conditions of every household today to make sure no one was freezing.

He first went to He Yuzhu's house and knocked on the door. When He Yuzhu opened the door, a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "Xiang Qian, it's so cold, what's the matter?"

"Yuzhui, I want to check on the heating situation in your home. After all, this winter is too cold and I'm worried about everyone." Li Xiangqian said with concern.

He Yuzhu nodded and took Li Xiangqian into the house. The fire in his house was burning brightly, and the room was warm and cozy. Li Xiangqian was relieved, but he still carefully checked the safety of the stove and left only after confirming that there was no problem.

Next, he visited several more houses and confirmed that everyone was heating up properly, and finally came to Lou Xiao'e's house. Seeing him standing at the door, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly came up to him and said, "Brother Li, why are you here? Come in and warm up."

Li Xiangqian walked into the house and saw that the fire in Lou Xiao'e's house was also burning brightly. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Xiao'e, do you have enough coal for heating? If not, I can buy some more for you."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Brother Li. We still have enough coal at home, but I really appreciate your concern for us."

Li Xiangqian looked at her and felt warm in his heart. He knew that although Lou Xiao'e always appeared strong, she was a woman working hard alone and needed more care and attention. He secretly decided to pay more attention to her life and try to help her solve some practical problems.

A few days later, when Li Xiangqian was busy in the yard, he heard a noise coming from the corner of the street. He walked over quickly and found that several children were fighting for a snowball. The children's faces were red from the cold, but they were having a lot of fun. Li Xiangqian looked at these innocent smiling faces and felt warm in his heart.

"Are you all cold? Do you want to come to my house and warm yourself by the fire?" Li Xiangqian asked with a smile.

When the children heard this, they cheered: "Great, great, Uncle Li is the best!"

Li Xiangqian took the children home and placed them by the fire to warm them up. Seeing the children playing by the fire filled his heart with satisfaction. He knew that everyone in the courtyard was his family, and he was willing to do everything for them to ensure their safety and happiness.

At night, Li Xiangqian lay in bed, thinking about what happened today, and felt a little touched. He understood that although this winter was cold, as long as everyone united and worked together, they would be able to overcome this difficulty. Everyone in the courtyard was a part of his life, and he wanted to use his own strength to warm everyone's heart.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian came to the yard again and saw He Yuzhu and several neighbors discussing something. He walked over and asked with concern, "What are you talking about?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Moving forward, we are thinking that since winter is so cold, why don't we all cook together in a big pot, which can not only keep warm, but also enhance the relationship between neighbors."

Li Xiangqian thought this was a good idea. He nodded and agreed, "It's a good idea. We can each contribute some ingredients and cook together, so that everyone can eat warm."

So everyone started to prepare separately. Li Xiangqian was responsible for the overall arrangement, ensuring that every household contributed. Soon, a plan for a big pot meal was made, and everyone took out the ingredients at home and gathered in the yard.

Li Xiangqian was filled with joy as he watched everyone busy at work. He knew that this was not just a simple dinner party, but also a show of solidarity and mutual assistance among neighbors. As the steam from the pot rose, the yard was filled with laughter and joy, and the cold winter became much warmer.

During the meal, Li Xiangqian sat at the table, watching everyone's happy faces, and felt extremely satisfied. Lou Xiao'e sat next to him and said with a smile: "Brother Li, thank you. With you around, our lives have become better."
