Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Xu Damao's smile faded, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his indifferent expression: "Okay, okay, it's just a joke, why do you take it so seriously? I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you." After that, he turned and left with the dog, leaving behind an awkward silence.

Li Xiangqian looked at Xu Damao's departing back, suppressing a rage in his heart. He was never a person who lost his temper easily, but what happened today made him feel extremely humiliated. Although he knew that in rural areas, the relationships between people were complicated and conflicts often occurred, this kind of unwarranted provocation and prank was really unbearable for him.

Uncle Liu looked at Li Xiangqian and sighed, "Xiangqian, don't bother with that kind of person. He is just a troublemaker and it's not worth your anger. He suppressed his unhappiness and forced a smile, "Uncle Liu, I know, it's just that what happened today was a bit too much."

"Yeah, if it were someone else, they would also feel angry. You have to rest well and don't hurt your muscles. Don't be too anxious about the work in the fields, we are here for you." Uncle Liu patted Li Xiangqian's shoulder and said with concern.

Li Xiangqian nodded gratefully, but he still couldn't calm down. He knew that his life was already difficult enough, and now he had to face such unprovoked provocations, and the irritation in his heart became more and more difficult to suppress.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Xiangqian sat in the yard, quietly thinking about everything that happened today. When the dog pounced on him fiercely, he felt a deep sense of helplessness and anger, but in the face of Xu Damao's ridicule, he could only endure it. He has always believed that as long as he works diligently and lives his life well, he will not cause trouble. But today's experience made him realize that reality is not always so simple.

Li Xiangqian paced back and forth in the yard, feeling depressed for a long time. He remembered that his parents had taught him to be patient and tolerant, but when facing a scoundrel like Xu Damao, would patience really work? Li Xiangqian shook his head, knowing that continuing to be patient would only make him suffer more grievances.

As the sky gradually darkened, the courtyard was gradually enveloped by the afterglow of the setting sun. Li Xiangqian looked up at the sky, trying to calm himself down. He knew that being angry would not help, and he had to be more cautious in the days ahead, not giving Xu Damao the opportunity to continue making trouble.

After a sleepless night, Li Xiangqian kept thinking about what happened during the day. He decided to go to the town early tomorrow morning to buy some medicine to see if there is a suitable topical ointment to heal his injury as soon as possible. Although the pain in his elbow still reminds him of what happened today, the greater pain in his heart is the feeling of powerlessness. He knows that he still needs to face many challenges, especially in the upcoming harvest season. Li Xiangqian got up with a trace of tiredness, packed up simply and prepared to go to town. He has made a decision in his heart. In addition to buying medicine, he will go to the farmer's market again to see if there are other supplements that can help crops grow. He knows that this piece of land is not only his livelihood, but also a kind of sustenance for his future.

Li Xiangqian rode his bicycle, thinking about the town and the next job in his mind. He was confused and didn't understand why everything had become so complicated recently. His life in the past was simple and clear, although it was hard. But now, all kinds of trivial things came one after another, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

Recalling Xu Damao's sudden visit a few days ago and his ferocious dog, Li Xiangqian still felt incredible. Why did such a thing happen to him? He just wanted to live a peaceful life and take care of his land and crops, so why did someone always come to disturb him?

He shook his head gently, telling himself not to dwell on it anymore. He understood that the most important thing right now was to take good care of the crops in the fields and ensure this year's harvest. This thought calmed him down a little, and he began to turn his attention to how to use the resources at hand to maximize the quality and yield of the crops. Li Xiangqian went to a pharmacy first. The owner was a kind middle-aged man, and he greeted him warmly: "Hey, Brother Li, how come you have time to come to town today? He explained his purpose directly: "Brother, I want to buy some trauma medicine. I accidentally fell a few days ago, and my elbow hurts a little."

The shop owner immediately showed a concerned expression and quickly took out several ointments from behind the counter: "These are all good, which one do you think is suitable? This bottle of ointment is very effective in reducing swelling and relieving pain. It works immediately after applying it."

Li Xiangqian took the ointment and carefully read the label, thinking about its effect. He finally chose an ointment that looked the mildest and handed it to the shopkeeper: "This is it."

After paying the bill, the shop owner asked with concern: "Brother Li, you have to be careful when you are alone at home. Although farm work is important, your health is more important. Don't work too hard." He felt a little emotional in his heart. He knew that what the shop owner said made sense, but what could he do? No one helped with the farm work, and all the burdens were on his shoulders alone. How could he not work hard?

"I will pay attention to it. Thank you for your concern." Li Xiangqian took the ointment, thanked the owner, turned around and left the pharmacy.

He was walking on the streets of the town, thinking about going to the farmers' market to see if there were any suitable crop nutrients. Just as he was about to get on his bike, he suddenly ran into an acquaintance on the street corner - Zhao San.

Zhao San is a shrewd middle-aged man who runs a small business in the town. He is well-informed and knows everything about the town. When Zhao San saw Li Xiangqian, he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically: "

Li Xiangqian smiled slightly and responded, "Third brother, come and buy some medicine and things for farming. I've been busy lately."

Zhao San nodded, his eyes flickering, as if he was sizing up Li Xiangqian: "I heard that you've been very busy in the fields recently. How's it going? Is the harvest going well?"

Li Xiangqian hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should tell Zhao San about his current predicament. But then he thought that Zhao San was a well-informed person after all, and might be able to provide some useful information.

"The harvest hasn't arrived yet. Now we just have to sow and maintain the crops, which is a bit strenuous." Li Xiangqian's tone was flat, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Zhao San obviously noticed this. He took a step closer and said in a low voice, "Brother, I've heard some rumors recently. It seems that there may be some big moves around your land. You have to be more careful."

Li Xiangqian was shocked when he heard this, and stared at Zhao San closely: "Brother San, what did you hear?"
