Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

When the workers heard that there was food, their eyes lit up. Usually when they worked in the fields, they ate the dry food they brought with them. It was rare to have a hot meal like this. Li Xiangqian opened the lunch box, and the steaming bacon, cabbage and white porridge immediately whetted everyone's appetite.

"Oh, Brother Xiangqian, this is really rare! Your bacon looks appetizing." Wang Mazi said as he came closer to look at the food in the pot, his eyes full of anticipation.

Li Xiangqian smiled and handed him a pair of chopsticks. "Brother Mazi, try it first and see if it suits your taste."

Wang Mazi unceremoniously picked up a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he exclaimed: "Oh, it tastes really good! Your cooking skills are much better than the one at home!"

Other workers also gathered around, picking up their bowls to scoop up porridge and vegetables, and everyone ate with their mouths full of oil. He felt that the busyness this morning was worth it. Everyone had worked hard together these days, and although they were exhausted, the feeling of working together filled his heart with strength. You really put a lot of effort into this meal, it tastes so good." A worker said with satisfaction while drinking porridge. "As long as everyone likes it. We usually work together, and we are tired. If we eat better, we will have more energy to work."

Wang Mazi took over the conversation and sighed, "That's right. Although we are tired these days, we work hard. Brother Xiangqian, you are right. We can't slack off on the work in the fields. With you taking the lead, we can work hard too."

Li Xiangqian listened to these words. Although they sounded simple, they made him feel a deep friendship and trust. He knew that he could not have come this far without the support and help of these villagers. No matter how big the difficulties were, as long as everyone was united, there would be no obstacles that could not be overcome.

After the meal, everyone took a short break and then continued to work. Working in the fields with his fellow workers, although physically exhausted, his heart was full of strength. Every time he swung the hoe and every time he bent down to weed, he felt a sense of satisfaction that he was down to earth.

As the sun rose higher, the work in the field gradually made progress. Li Xiangqian stopped from time to time to look at his fellow workers. Seeing that everyone was sweating but full of energy, he felt at ease. He knew that this piece of land was not only his responsibility, but also their common hope.

In the afternoon, as the sun gradually set, the workers finally finished their work in the field. Looking at the neatly arranged ridges, he felt a satisfaction he had never felt before. Although today's work was hard, everyone had made an effort. Seeing the new look of the field, he felt that all the hard work was worth it. The sky was already getting dark, and he felt a long-lost peace. He knew that today's busyness was just a fragment of life, but it was these little efforts that constituted the most real and down-to-earth part of his life.

At night, thinking back on the day's experience, he felt extremely satisfied. He knew that life might not always be smooth sailing, but as long as he continued to walk down to earth, step by step, the road ahead would become wider and wider.

Li Xiangqian was busy working in the fields, swinging the hoe in his hand non-stop, sweat dripping down his forehead and soaking his clothes. Although he was tired and his back ached, he felt at ease, knowing that he was working hard for a good harvest on this land. Just as he was concentrating on his work, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance. "Brother Xiangqian!" A young man ran over breathlessly, it was Xiao Liu from the village.

Li Xiangqian put down his hoe, raised his head and wiped the sweat off his face, and asked, "Xiao Liu, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Liu panted and said, "Brother Xiang Qian, Director Yang asked you to go to the factory as soon as possible. He said he has something to discuss with you." A trace of doubt suddenly arose in his heart. Director Yang wanted to see him? He hadn't been to the factory for a while, and he didn't know what it was for this time. Although he felt a little uneasy, he knew that since Director Yang personally asked him to go, it must be a big deal.

He brushed off the dirt on his body, thinking about the possible reasons. "Okay, I'll go right away." He nodded to Xiao Liu and turned to walk back to the factory.

Along the way, Li Xiangqian was in a state of anxiety. Director Yang was a very prestigious person in the village. He was usually upright and fair, but if he came to talk to someone in person, it must be something important. Li Xiangqian thought about his recent affairs and couldn't think of any problems for a while, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

When he reached the factory gate, Li Xiangqian stopped and calmed himself before walking into the factory. The factory was busy as usual, the roar of machines echoed in the air, and the workers were busy with their own work, no one noticed his arrival.

He walked to the door of Director Yang's office with familiarity and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Director Yang's voice came from behind the door, still steady and powerful.

Li Xiangqian pushed the door open and saw Director Yang sitting behind his desk, holding a document in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed. He stood up straight and said respectfully, "Director, you're looking for me?"

Director Yang raised his head and motioned him to sit down, his tone revealing a bit of seriousness: "Xiang Qian, sit down, I have something to ask you."

Li Xiangqian sat down, feeling even more uneasy, but he tried to calm himself down and nodded, "Director, go ahead."

Director Yang put down the documents in his hand, his eyes fell on Li Xiangqian's face, and said in a steady voice: "I heard that you have been busy farming in the village recently. It's been very hard, right?"

Li Xiangqian felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he still didn't dare to relax. He replied, "Yes, Director, there is indeed a lot of work in the fields recently, but it's okay. If everyone works together, there won't be any problems."

Director Yang nodded and then asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties recently? Or do you need any help from the factory?"

Li Xiangqian was confused for a moment when he heard this. He wondered what Director Yang meant by this. Could it be that the factory had some new policy to help everyone farm? He thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "It's okay at the moment. Although there are many things to do on the farm, I can handle it with the help of the villagers. If the factory can help, I would like to ask, do you have any suggestions?"

Director Yang was silent for a while, as if he was considering how to start. Then he slowly said, "Xiang Qian, I actually asked you to come this time because I heard that you have been very busy with the farm work recently, but the factory is also short of manpower for some work, so I wanted to ask you if it is possible for you to spare some time to help the factory."
