Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Li Xiangqian nodded. "In fact, I plan to conduct comprehensive monitoring and treatment of the potato fields within this month, including completely eliminating pests in the potato fields, improving soil quality, and ensuring that the water source is free of any pollution. As long as these tasks can be completed and the potato seedlings can grow healthily, I will win."

Xu Damao thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Okay, I believe you can do it. As long as you can really solve these problems, I will definitely buy you a drink, how about it?"

A gleam of determination flashed in Li Xiangqian's eyes, "Deal."

After the bet was made, Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao began to discuss the specific implementation plan. Xu Damao agreed with Li Xiangqian's plan and also put forward some suggestions and improvement measures. The two discussed enthusiastically and unknowingly a long time had passed.

"It seems that you are really concerned about the problem of this potato field." Xu Damao sighed, "However, you should pay attention that it is not just a problem of pests. Soil improvement and water management are also very important."

"I know." Li Xiangqian said seriously, "These issues are closely linked and must be considered comprehensively."

Xu Damao patted Li Xiangqian on the shoulder and said, "Keep going, then. I believe you can do it. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"Thank you, Xu Damao." Li Xiangqian was filled with gratitude. "I will do my best."

After Xu Damao left, Li Xiangqian focused more on the management of the potato fields. He began to develop a detailed work plan and implement each link step by step. He first conducted a comprehensive inspection of the fields, recorded the growth status of each potato seedling in detail, and took corresponding treatment measures for different diseases.

While dealing with the pests, Li Xiangqian discovered some new problems - some pests seemed to have developed resistance to the previous pesticides. He had to look for new pesticides and adjust the treatment plan. His work became more complicated, but he remained determined.

"This is a big challenge," Li Xiangqian sighed in his heart, "but I must not give up."

In the process of treating the soil, Li Xiangqian also found some problems with the soil quality. There were some harmful substances in the soil that were difficult to remove, which required special soil conditioners to treat. He had to add these conditioners to the soil and monitor it regularly to ensure that the quality of the soil could be effectively improved.

Li Xiangqian's days are filled with busyness and tension. Not only does he have to deal with various problems in the potato fields, but he also has to ensure the quality of the water source is stable. Every time he sees the results of his hard work, although the progress is sometimes slow, his heart is full of hope for the future.

Time passed unnoticed, and Li Xiangqian gradually felt that he had grown a lot in this difficult journey. He learned how to find solutions to problems in difficult situations and how to stay calm under pressure. Although the process was full of challenges, he always maintained a positive attitude.

One evening, when Li Xiangqian was inspecting the fields, he found that the condition of the potato seedlings had improved significantly. He was filled with joy and satisfaction. Although there was still some distance to the final goal, he saw that his efforts had paid off.

"It seems that my efforts have not been in vain." Li Xiangqian secretly sighed in his heart, "The hard work these days has finally paid off."

He decided to maintain this positive attitude and continuously optimize the treatment plan to ensure that every link can achieve the best results. Although there may still be various problems in the future, he believes that as long as he persists, he will be able to usher in the final victory.

At the same time, Xu Damao often came to the courtyard to visit Li Xiangqian and cared about his work progress. The two continued to keep in touch, exchanging planting experiences and sharing each other's experiences. Xu Damao sincerely admired Li Xiangqian's persistence and hard work, and was full of expectations for the outcome of the bet.

"Li Xiangqian, how is your work going recently?" Xu Damao would ask every time he visited.

"Not bad. Although there are some problems, overall there has been great progress." Li Xiangqian replied, "This period of work has taught me a lot and has strengthened my faith."

"That's good, keep going." Xu Damao encouraged, "I believe you can complete the task successfully, and I look forward to the result of our bet."

On a sultry summer night, Li Xiangqian tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Outside the window, the croaking of frogs rose and fell, sometimes accompanied by the rustling of leaves in the wind. Although he went to bed early, his mind was still restless. The recent work pressure and worries about the future made it difficult for him to sleep. His mind kept flashing back to the situation in the potato fields, and all kinds of problems made it impossible for him to relax.

At this time, he gradually fell asleep. The scenes in his dream flashed by one after another like a revolving lantern. In this dream, he seemed to be in a world different from reality. Everything seemed particularly vague but real. In his dream, he returned to the small river near the courtyard. The water surface was silvery and sparkling in the moonlight, just like a mirror in a dream.

Li Xiangqian stood by the river bank, his eyes fixed on the rippling water. He saw He Yuzhu also by the river, bending over as if to pick up something. Li Xiangqian suddenly felt an inexplicable anxiety. Although everything in the dream seemed so peaceful, he felt an indescribable uneasiness.

"He Yuzhu, be careful!" Li Xiangqian tried to shout loudly, but his voice was swallowed by the sound of the wind in the dream. His voice seemed so weak, as if he was trapped in the abyss of the dream.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu lost his balance, the stone under his feet slipped, and he fell into the river. Water splashed everywhere, and everything in the dream seemed to fall into chaos. Li Xiangqian was in a panic, and he tried to run to the river to grab He Yuzhu, but his body seemed to be restrained and unable to move.

"He Yuzhu!" Li Xiangqian's heart was filled with despair and anxiety, and his voice still could not echo in his dream. He saw He Yuzhu struggling in the water, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water. However, his figure was gradually swallowed by the water and became smaller and smaller.

The scene in the dream became more and more blurred, and Li Xiangqian's heartbeat accelerated, as if he felt the pressure in reality. His hands and feet were still extremely heavy, and he couldn't lend a hand. No matter how hard he tried, nothing in the dream could be changed.

At this moment, the dream suddenly began to twist, and Li Xiangqian seemed to be caught in a strong whirlpool. The sound of the water gradually became rapid, and everything in the dream was spinning. His heart was filled with helplessness and fear, as if he was struggling in endless darkness.
