Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Hearing these words, Li Xiangqian felt a little proud, but more satisfied and grateful to everyone. He knew that this sense of happiness came not only from the good harvest of vegetables, but also from the unity and cohesion brought about by everyone's joint efforts.

However, Li Xiangqian was not satisfied with this. That night, he tossed and turned in bed, brewing a bold idea in his mind. He felt that since everyone became closer because of farming activities, if some welfare projects were added to the courtyard, perhaps this harmonious atmosphere could be further upgraded. Li Xiangqian hurriedly found Uncle Li who lived in the east wing. He knew that Uncle Li had a high prestige in the courtyard and everyone usually respected his opinions. So he carefully expressed his ideas.

"Uncle, I was thinking that growing vegetables in our yard is going pretty well now, and everyone is willing to participate. I was thinking, can we do some other activities, such as building a small pavilion where everyone can sit and chat in the evening, or build a small fish pond, so that the children can have more fun."

After hearing this, Uncle Li's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea! When I was young in the countryside, I often saw people chatting and enjoying the cool air in the pavilion at the entrance of the village. That feeling was really good! It would be so beautiful if we could build a small pavilion in our yard."

Hearing Uncle Li's approval, Li Xiangqian felt relieved. In the next few days, he went door to door to solicit opinions. Almost everyone supported the proposal to build a pavilion, and some people even suggested that they work together to make the pavilion more distinctive.

Finally, with the unanimous agreement of the residents, the plan to build the pavilion was put into action. Li Xiangqian took the initiative to act as the organizer. He gathered everyone together and divided the work clearly. Some people were responsible for design, some were responsible for purchasing materials, and some were responsible for the actual construction. Uncle Li also made full use of his expertise in carpentry and personally led several young and strong neighbors to take charge of the construction.

During this period, the courtyard became more lively. Every morning, the sound of tinkling and knocking could be heard in the yard. The adults were busy discussing the design details, while the children gathered around and watched curiously. Their little hands could not help but want to touch the wood to see where they would play in the future.

Li Xiangqian was busy with his work, and he was full of expectations. He knew that this pavilion was not only a place to cool off, but also a symbol of the joint efforts of the residents of the Siheyuan, and a product of their unity and cooperation. Whenever someone asked him why he did this, he always answered with a smile: "The Siheyuan is our home. If I can make it better and everyone can enjoy it, I think it is worth it."

As the pavilion gradually took shape, the residents of the courtyard became more and more grateful to Li Xiangqian. They saw this young man working tirelessly for the welfare of everyone, busying around every day, but never taking credit for himself, but always attributing the credit to the collective.

On the day the pavilion was completed, the courtyard was bustling with activity. Everyone gathered together spontaneously and prepared a rich meal to celebrate the achievement of their joint efforts. Grapevines proposed by Aunt Li were planted around the pavilion. When the grapevines cover the pavilion next summer, it will become the most beautiful corner of the courtyard.

In the evening, neighbors sat in the newly built pavilion, enjoying the breeze, tasting the delicacies made from the vegetables they grew, chatting about interesting things from all over the world, and laughing constantly. He was full of satisfaction. He understood that this was not just a pavilion, but a bridge between the hearts of the residents in the courtyard. The pavilion became a small landmark in the courtyard. Whether it was early in the morning or in the evening, there were always people chatting, playing chess, and enjoying the cool air here. It even became a "primary school" for children. Li Xiangqian's heart was full of longing for the future. He knew that what he brought to the courtyard was not only a pavilion, but also a new lifestyle.

However, Li Xiangqian did not intend to stop there. He began to think about how to further utilize the space of the courtyard house and lead everyone to live a more colorful life. He noticed that the construction of the pavilion stimulated everyone's creativity, and the neighbors seemed to be more and more interested in collective activities.

"Maybe, we can set up a small vegetable market?" Li Xiangqian suddenly had a new idea.

He imagined that a few simple sheds would be built on the open space of the courtyard, where every household could take out the vegetables they grew and conduct simple exchanges and trades. This would not only solve the problem of leftover vegetables at home, but also provide everyone with more opportunities for communication.

So, on a sunny morning, Li Xiangqian called everyone together again to discuss the new plan. To his surprise, everyone was very interested in the proposal, especially those residents who were good at growing vegetables and had long been thinking about how to make use of the extra vegetables.

"Xiao Li, your idea is great! When we have more food, we can earn some money to supplement our family expenses. Not only can we eat well, but we can also let others eat our good food." Aunt Li said excitedly. "Yes, this is my idea. Everyone can benefit."

After some discussion, the residents of the courtyard decided to try it out for a while, and if the effect is good, they will officially start operating this "small vegetable market". Li Xiangqian once again served as the organizer. He arranged the location of each stall and thoughtfully prepared a small blackboard for each stall, so that everyone could write down the types of vegetables they sell and the prices.

A few days later, the "Siheyuan Vegetable Market" was officially opened. The courtyard was full of vitality, and residents put all kinds of fresh vegetables in front of their stalls. Neighbors walked between the stalls, picking out what they needed, and the whole scene was very lively.

Li Xiangqian stood aside and saw the smiles on everyone's faces. He felt more satisfied than if he had harvested more vegetables. This "small vegetable market" not only enriched everyone's life, but also brought neighbors closer together. The courtyard was full of mutual help and warmth.

Li Xiangqian stood in the yard, looking at the courtyard that had become full of life, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. The pavilion, the vegetable field, the small vegetable market, all of these were achieved through his efforts and the cooperation of his neighbors, and the life in the courtyard became colorful. But under this satisfaction, there was still a lingering worry in his heart.

That is Qin Huairu's attitude.

Qin Huairu is one of the few people in the courtyard who is relatively lonely. She is not close to other neighbors and always keeps to herself.
