Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

The next day, Li Xiangqian and his team started working again early in the morning. After a whole day of hard work, the vegetable shed was finally built. It stood firmly on the field, blocking the strong sunlight and providing a safe growing environment for the crops.

Standing under the shed, Li Xiangqian felt an indescribable satisfaction. He looked up at the protective umbrella made of bamboo and cloth, and his heart was full of expectations for the future. He believed that the crops in the courtyard would thrive, and life in the courtyard would become more abundant and beautiful because of this land.

After the vegetable shed was built, Li Xiangqian was looking forward to it being able to effectively protect the crops. However, in the following few days, things did not go as smoothly as he expected. In the first few days, the weather was still sunny, and the vegetable shed seemed to play its due role, with the crops growing steadily under the sunshade. Li Xiangqian also put down a big stone in his heart, thinking that this effort was not in vain.

However, a few days later, a rainstorm broke this tranquility. Dark clouds gathered quickly, and the sky was dark as if it was about to fall. He felt a little uneasy. He looked up at the sky, worried that the rainstorm would come suddenly, and wondered if the vegetable shed could withstand the coming storm. He quickly called a few neighbors to come to the field together to prepare for possible situations.

The rain started to fall quickly, just a few drops at first, but soon it became a downpour, and the wind became stronger. Li Xiangqian, Liu Guangtian, and Uncle Wang stood by the shed, watching the rain flow down the waterproof cloth, and prayed in their hearts that the vegetable shed could hold up this time.

"Move forward, our shed should be able to hold up, right?" Liu Guangtian's voice was filled with a hint of worry, his eyes fixed on the roof.

Although Li Xiangqian remained calm on the surface, he was a little nervous in his heart. He nodded and forced a smile, "It should be possible. The bamboo we used is strong enough and the waterproof cloth is also well selected. It should be able to block the rain."

However, as the rainstorm intensified, the situation began to deteriorate. The wind increased, and the strong wind blew the waterproof cloth on the roof, making a rustling sound. Several fixing points began to loosen, and a corner of the cloth was lifted by the wind, and the rain immediately poured down through the crack.

"Oh no!" Li Xiangqian's heart sank suddenly. He rushed under the shed and tried to hold down the lifted cloth with his hands, but the wind was too strong and he could hardly control it. Seeing this, Liu Guangtian hurried over to help. The two of them worked together to hold down the cloth, but they still couldn't resist the strong wind and the cloth almost slipped out of their hands several times.

"This won't work, we have to find something to fix it!" Liu Guangtian shouted loudly, the sound of wind and rain drowning out most of his voice.

Li Xiangqian was extremely anxious. He knew that the strength of the two of them alone could not withstand the impact of the heavy rain. He quickly looked around, trying to find some heavy objects to hold down the cloth, but there were only some scattered tools on the edge of the field, which could not solve the current crisis. The wind and rain became more and more violent, the cloth was lifted higher and higher, and the rain poured into the shed.

At this time, Uncle Wang and several neighbors came over, carrying several heavy stones in their hands, obviously wanting to use these stones to hold down the cloth. Feeling a little relieved, he quickly put the stones on the edge of the roof with everyone, hoping to stabilize the waterproof cloth. However, despite their best efforts, rain continued to seep in from various gaps, and shallow puddles accumulated on the ground.

Li Xiangqian's heart sank. As the rain intensified, he realized that the vegetable shed might not be able to fully protect the vegetables. Although their efforts prevented some of the rain from invading, the simple vegetable shed seemed a little fragile in the face of such a heavy rainstorm. The fabric kept shaking in the wind and rain, and the bamboo frame creaked under the heavy load.

The rain gradually subsided, but Li Xiangqian's mood did not improve. After the rain stopped, he and everyone checked the situation in the greenhouse and found that a lot of water had accumulated on the ground. Several fragile crops were washed down by the rain, and some leaves were broken. Looking at the damage, he felt both annoyed and helpless.

"Xiang Qian, it seems that this shed is not in good condition." Liu Guangtian walked to Li Xiang Qian, shook his head, his tone full of disappointment.

Uncle Wang also came over and sighed, "We tried our best, but we didn't expect the rain to be so heavy that the shed couldn't withstand it. What do you think we should do next?" Looking at the rain-soaked roof, he felt sad. He knew that the design of this vegetable shed might still work in normal weather, but in the face of such a heavy rainstorm, it was obviously too simple. He realized that he had underestimated the power of nature and overestimated the effect of this simple vegetable shed.

"It seems we have to think of a better way." Li Xiangqian said with some helplessness and self-blame, "This shed is still not stable enough, especially when there is strong wind and heavy rain. I think maybe we need a stronger structure, not just relying on bamboo, but also considering reinforcing the entire frame. "Yes, we may have to redesign it. It is really not enough to rely on these fabrics and bamboo. Or, we can consider making a semi-enclosed structure with some stronger materials."

Uncle Wang thought for a while and added: "If we can find some more durable materials, such as steel pipes or thicker waterproof fabrics, and reinforce the bottom of the shed, the effect should be much better."

Li Xiangqian listened carefully to their suggestions and gradually had new ideas in his mind. He understood that this failure was not the end, but a new starting point, an opportunity for him to rethink how to better protect this land. This lesson taught us that it is not enough to have ideas, but we need more practical actions and more solid designs. "Li Xiangqian said firmly, "I will check the information to see if there are more suitable design plans and materials. We will completely transform the vegetable shed this time, so that we will not be so passive next time we encounter heavy rain."

Liu Guangtian and Uncle Wang both nodded in support, and hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes. Li Xiangqian knew that although this attempt was not completely successful, as long as they continued to learn and improve, they would find the best solution one day.

In the evening, Li Xiangqian returned home, turned on his computer, and began to look up various materials. He browsed many agricultural websites and forums, looking for more solid and suitable vegetable shed design plans and material suggestions.
