Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

One morning, as the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and into the courtyard of the quadrangle, Li Xiang walked towards the cornfield with a basket in his hand. The air was filled with the fragrance of soil and the scent of fresh corn, which made him happy. Although he felt a little tired from the recent series of challenges, the work at this moment brought him a sense of quiet satisfaction.

Li Xiangqian began to peel the corn. He sat on the ground, picked the corn from the stalk, and began to carefully peel off the outer layer of corn husk. With each layer of corn husk peeled off, the corn kernels were shining with full luster. Although his movements were slow, every step was full of concentration.

During this process, Li Xiangqian kept recalling recent events, especially the negotiation with Yi Zhonghai and the experience of dealing with pests. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was still somewhat uneasy and confused in his heart. He was angry at Yi Zhonghai's deliberate embarrassment, but he also knew that this emotion should not affect his work.

"Xiao Ming, come and help." Li Xiangqian called Xiao Ming who was busy nearby while working. Xiao Ming came over quickly with a smile and a relaxed mood.

"Uncle Li, do you need any help?" Xiao Ming asked, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

"Yes, help me peel the corn." Li Xiangqian said, "I think the recent work is going well, especially the potato fields have improved a lot. What do you think?"

Xiao Ming took the basket, sat next to Li Xiangqian, and began to peel the corn husks carefully. "Yes, the potato field problem has indeed improved a little. Our efforts have paid off. As for Yi Zhonghai, his provocation is uncomfortable, but we should not be defeated by such external pressure."

Li Xiangqian nodded, a sense of gratitude welling up in his heart. He knew that Xiao Ming was right and that he should not be affected by other people's behavior. "You are right, we should focus on our work. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we should work hard to overcome them."

The two worked in the cornfield in tacit understanding, immersed in the simple work of peeling corn. As time went by, their movements gradually became more skilled, and the corn in the basket increased. Li Xiangqian felt a sense of peace and satisfaction, a feeling that he could not experience when dealing with various complex problems.

Suddenly, Xiao Ming asked, "Uncle Li, have you ever thought about what we should do next? After solving the pest problem in the potato field, should we consider other crops?"

Li Xiangqian thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, we do need to plan our next steps in advance. Although the current situation has improved, there is still a lot of work to be done in the future. We can consider planting more other crops to increase the utilization rate of the land."

Xiao Ming nodded in agreement. "In this way, we can make better use of land resources and get more benefits in different seasons."

Li Xiangqian looked at Xiao Ming, and his heart was full of hope for the future. He knew that although the challenges and difficulties he faced still existed, as long as he remained calm and focused and solved the problems step by step, the future would definitely be brighter.

While peeling corn, Li Xiangqian and Xiao Ming talked about various things about agriculture and discussed how to further improve soil fertility and crop yields. Their conversation made Li Xiangqian feel very relaxed and full of confidence in his future work.

As the sun gradually rose, Li Xiangqian and Xiao Ming's work also entered a climax. They gradually peeled the corn and put it aside, ready for the next step. Although the work at hand was a little tiring, Li Xiangqian felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw the results gradually accumulated.

"Xiao Ming, today's work is going well." Li Xiangqian looked at the corn next to him and smiled. "After we process the corn, we can consider other tasks next."

Xiao Ming also responded with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Li, we have done a great job. Keep it up, and we will definitely achieve better results in the next work."

As the pest problem in the potato field was gradually brought under control, Li Xiangqian began to focus more on other agricultural work. Recently, he got a new method of growing vegetables, which is said to be able to effectively improve the yield and quality of crops. This new method came from the recommendation of an old farmer who he came across by chance in the market and learned about the existence of this method during a casual chat.

Li Xiangqian was full of curiosity about this new method. After returning home, he could not wait to read relevant materials and study these new planting techniques. He found that this method mainly improves the soil structure and combines specific fertilization and watering techniques to improve the growth environment of crops. This new technology looks very promising, especially for crops such as potatoes and corn.

In the next few days, Li Xiangqian decided to try this new method on a small plot of his own test field. He hoped to verify the effectiveness of this method through actual operation, so as to provide a better reference for future planting.

One morning, Li Xiangqian came to the test field and prepared to start his experiment. He plowed the soil deeply and then applied a special improver according to the requirements of the new method. This improver contains rich organic matter and trace elements, which can improve the structure and fertility of the soil. Then, he watered and fertilized according to the new method.

"Xiao Ming, come and help." Li Xiangqian called out, his voice full of excitement and anticipation. "I have just started trying a new planting method, and I need your help today."

Xiao Ming walked over quickly and saw Li Xiangqian busy in the field. He couldn't help but feel curious. "Uncle Li, what is this new method? You seem very confident in it."

Li Xiangqian stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and explained with a smile: "This is a vegetable growing method I got recently. It can effectively improve soil fertility and crop growth. I did some research and talked to some old farmers. They said this method is very helpful in improving crop yield and quality."

Xiao Ming listened, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes. "Then let's try this method now. I hope it can bring us good results."

Li nodded forward and continued to focus on his work in the field. His heart was full of anticipation, but also a little nervous. Although he was confident in this new method, he knew that the actual effect still needed time to be tested.
