Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

"Okay, then let's continue at this height!" Lao Wang agreed and continued to hold the bamboo steady.

As the first bamboo stood firmly in the field, everyone became more motivated. Li Xiangqian became more and more confident. He could feel that this was not just about building a shed, but also about gathering the strength of the courtyard. This atmosphere of unity made him feel at ease and more determined to do things well. The vegetable shed gradually took shape. As the bamboos stood up one by one, the film was covered on the shed little by little, and the entire field was slowly surrounded by this newly built "protective cover". Li Xiangqian stood in the shed, watching the sunlight shine through the film onto the ground. This was not only his personal effort, but also the result of everyone's joint efforts.

When the last piece of film was fixed, Li Xiangqian and his neighbors finally breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was sweating profusely, but with satisfied smiles on their faces. This shed is not just a simple sunshade, it represents their hope and confidence for the future.

"Okay, thank you all for your hard work today! The shed is finally built. Now we just wait for it to be put to use." Li Xiangqian wiped his sweat and said to everyone with a smile.

Uncle Liu said with a smile: "Xiang Qian, you are really capable. This shed is very sturdy. We can rest assured now! Our harvest this year will definitely be better than last year!" Aunt Zhang also said happily.

Although the shed was built, Li Xiangqian still felt a little uneasy. He stood under the shed, looking around the awning that was built with the joint efforts of everyone, but he couldn't completely calm down. During the day, the sun shone through the film on the crops, and everything seemed normal, but Li Xiangqian always felt that something was wrong.

A few days later, his concerns were gradually confirmed. Although the shed played a role in shielding the scorching sun, the crops in the field began to have a new problem - too high humidity. The air in the shed was no longer circulating as before, and the moisture on the surface was difficult to evaporate, which made the crops that were once full of vitality wilt a little. Some mildew spots appeared on the leaves, and the soil became sticky, which made Li Xiangqian's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

At night, Li Xiangqian sat alone on the ridge of the field, looking at the starry sky, with an indescribable sense of loss in his heart. He knew that everyone had paid a lot to build this shed, and everyone hoped that this shed would bring a better harvest, but now it seems that the situation is not as optimistic as he expected.

"Did I go in the wrong direction from the beginning?" He blamed himself secretly, thinking that he might have underestimated the weather changes and the side effects of the shed. He thought of the expectations of Lao Wang and Uncle Liu, and he didn't want to disappoint them, and he didn't want everyone's efforts to go to waste.

The next day, Li Xiangqian came to the fields early and carefully checked the situation in each plot of land. He found that it was not just the humidity that was the problem. The growth of crops was also beginning to be affected. The leaves of many plants were no longer as fresh and tender as before, but rather a little shriveled. He became increasingly aware that the idea of ​​relying on this vegetable shed to preserve the harvest was not feasible.

Li Xiangqian decided to hold a small meeting and tell everyone the truth about the problem. He knew that doing so might disappoint everyone, and some people might even blame him, but he had to face it honestly. Only by discussing new solutions with everyone can the current predicament be resolved. Li Xiangqian gathered several major neighbors in the middle of the yard and sat around a small table. His face was no longer relaxed as before, but rather more solemn, which made everyone realize that things did not seem to be going well.

"Xiang Qian, you look a little different today." Lao Wang asked first, his eyes full of concern.

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath and said carefully: "In fact, I have been observing the situation in the shed these days. Although we have built this vegetable shed, it seems that the effect is not ideal. The humidity in the shed is too high, and the crops are beginning to show signs of mold. I am worried that if this continues, it will affect our harvest. Everyone's face changed, and Uncle Liu couldn't help but sighed: "Sure enough, I also discovered this problem. I saw that something was wrong with the crops a few days ago, and it turned out to be a humidity problem."

Aunt Zhang frowned and asked, "What should we do now? We can't just let these vegetables go to waste, can we?" He had expected everyone to react like this, and although he felt heavy in his heart, he still said firmly, "We can't just leave it alone. I think we need to change our strategy. Maybe we can consider opening part of the shed to allow air circulation and reduce humidity. Although this will reduce the shading effect, it is better than letting the crops go bad."

Lao Wang nodded in agreement: Proper ventilation might be a good idea. We can also try to open the shed in the cool mornings and evenings, and close it during the day, so that we may be able to find a balance. "

Li Xiangqian felt somewhat comforted when he saw that everyone was willing to face the problem together instead of blaming him. "However, this method is only temporary. We have to continue to observe and see if this can improve the situation. If not, we may need to make further adjustments or even give up the shed."

Uncle Liu patted Li Xiangqian on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Xiangqian, don't blame yourself too much. It's inevitable to encounter difficulties when doing things. The important thing is that we can discover problems in time and find solutions. Everyone knows that you are doing this for the good of everyone, and no one will blame you."

Aunt Zhang also continued, "Yes, Xiang Qian, you have done a good job, and we have nothing to complain about. The key now is to find a way to minimize the losses. If we work together, we will definitely find a way out."

Li Xiangqian looked at everyone with gratitude, and his heart was warmed. He knew that no matter how much he blamed himself, he could not change the current situation. The most important thing now was how to lead everyone through this difficult time. He had to cheer up and not let the problem continue to deteriorate. Li Xiangqian and his neighbors began to adjust the management of the shed. Every morning and evening, they would open the shed for ventilation and let fresh air flow in. At noon when the sun was scorching, they would partially close the shed, trying to find a balance between shading and ventilation.

At the same time, Li Xiangqian also carefully observed the changes in the crops and adjusted the strategy at any time according to the situation. Although the problems still exist, he found that the situation of the crops has improved, the mildew spots on the leaves have decreased, and the growth of the plants has slightly recovered. Although this improvement is not perfect, it at least gives everyone hope.

However, Li Xiangqian still knew that the fundamental problem of the vegetable shed had not been solved.
