Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Jia Zhang was not relenting and continued to accuse him, "Try your best to take care of me? I think you are just being perfunctory. Your attitude is really unacceptable. You should be more serious, otherwise there will be no good harvest at all."

Li Xiangqian was filled with anger, but he tried to suppress his emotions. He knew that arguing with Jia Zhang would be meaningless and might even complicate the situation. He took a deep breath and tried to solve the problem in a calm tone.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, if you think I have done something wrong, you can tell me directly. I will try my best to improve, but please don't blame me. I am also doing my best to take care of these plants." Although Li Xiangqian's voice was calm, the firmness in it could not be ignored.

Jia Zhang was not moved by Li Xiangqian's words, but became even more agitated. "You are such an ignorant person. I just want you to improve, but you are still arguing with me. People like you are really not worth wasting my time on."

Li Xiangqian felt helpless and disappointed. He knew that no matter how much he explained, it would not change Jia Zhang's opinion. He forced a smile and whispered, "Jia Zhang, I will listen to your advice carefully. Thank you for your suggestion."

After saying that, Li Xiangqian turned around and returned to the vegetable garden. His heart was not at peace. Facing Jia Zhang's unreasonable accusations, he felt a deep sense of frustration and helplessness. He knew that his dedication and efforts in the vegetable garden had not been recognized, but instead he was criticized to pieces. His mood became a little heavy, but he tried to suppress these emotions in his heart and continue to focus on his work.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian's mood gradually calmed down. He knew that in the face of unreasonable accusations, the best way was to continue to prove himself with practical actions. He worked twice as hard in the vegetable garden to ensure that every plant received the best care. His hands turned the soil, his movements became more determined, and every detail was handled more thoughtfully.

At the same time, Jia Zhang's accusations gradually became a topic of discussion among the neighbors. People gradually developed more understanding and support for Li Xiangqian's efforts and contributions. Some neighbors took the initiative to find Li Xiangqian to express their support for him and expressed their dissatisfaction with Jia Zhang's behavior. They knew that Li Xiangqian's hard work was obvious and Jia Zhang's accusations were unfair.

Li Xiangqian felt a little warmth in his heart from all the support. He knew that although he had faced some difficulties and setbacks, the support and understanding of his neighbors made him feel an inexplicable comfort. Although there will be various challenges and difficulties in life, he always believes that as long as he sticks to his beliefs and strives to do everything well, there will always be a day when he will be rewarded.

One evening, Li Xiangqian was busy in the vegetable garden when he heard a knock on the door. He put down his tools, walked out of the garden, and saw Wang Mei standing at the door with a look of anxiety and concern on her face.

"Xiang Qian, Jia Zhang came to us again today. She said some unpleasant things and said that you didn't respect her enough." There was some worry in Wang Mei's tone.

Li Xiangqian felt uneasy when he heard these words. He knew that Jia Zhang's behavior had affected their lives and also made Wang Mei feel a little troubled. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

"Meizi, don't worry too much. I will continue to do my job well and not let her words affect me. We just need to do what we should do." There was some firmness and comfort in Li Xiangqian's voice.

Wang Mei nodded, with a look of understanding and support in her eyes. "I know you have been working hard and attentively. We will face these difficulties together and not let them affect our lives."

Li Xiangqian felt warm in his heart, knowing that Wang Mei's support and understanding were important pillars for him to face the difficulties. They walked back to the house together, and Li Xiangqian told Wang Mei about his experience today in detail. The two sat together and discussed how to deal with possible problems in the future.

One morning, Li Xiangqian got up early as usual and prepared to go to the vegetable garden to check the growth of the plants. The air was filled with the fragrance of soil, and the morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the floor. Li Xiangqian finished washing up and walked to the corner of the room, ready to put on his slippers. But when he looked down, he found that his slippers were gone.

He stood on the floor, frowned slightly, looked around, and the cold ground under his feet made him feel a little uncomfortable. He felt uneasy. This was not the first time he had encountered the situation of missing slippers, but this sudden disappearance made him feel particularly confused.

Li Xiangqian sighed softly, feeling unhappy. He knew that although such a small matter was not a big problem, it could cause some unnecessary trouble in a peaceful morning. He put on his shoes and decided to go to the vegetable garden first and try to find slippers.

When she walked out of the room, Wang Mei was standing by the kitchen window, watching Li Xiangqian walk through the yard with a concerned smile on her face. "Xiangqian, are you going to the vegetable garden this morning? I saw you looking for slippers, and you seemed a little anxious."

Li Xiangqian stopped and smiled. "Meizi, my slippers disappeared suddenly. I don't know what happened. But it doesn't matter. I'll go to the vegetable garden first and come back to look for it later."

Wang Mei nodded and watched Li Xiangqian walk out of the yard, feeling a little uneasy. She knew that Li Xiangqian was always serious about his work and was persistent and meticulous about everything. Although the disappearance of the slippers was just a small matter, it might have affected his mood.

Li Xiangqian went to the vegetable garden and checked the condition of the plants. His anxiety was slightly relieved. He watered the plants vigorously, turned the soil, and tried to focus on his work. However, the disappearance of his slippers kept circling in his mind.

"Could it be that Xiaojun took it? He likes to play in the vegetable garden recently, maybe he accidentally took the slippers away." Li Xiangqian speculated silently in his heart, trying to find the possible reason for the disappearance of the slippers.

As he worked and thought, he imagined Li Xiaojun. Li Xiaojun was a lively and active child. Although he sometimes caused trouble unintentionally, he was always curious and passionate about Li Xiangqian's vegetable garden. Li Xiangqian knew that children's behavior was sometimes unpredictable, but he did not want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings about Xiaojun.

At noon, Li Xiangqian finished work and returned home, where he saw Wang Mei had prepared a sumptuous lunch. He sat at the dining table and saw the food Wang Mei handed over, and his mood gradually improved.
