Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Xiao Ming smiled and responded, "Yes, Uncle Li. I believe that through our efforts, everyone will be able to gain more benefits from it."

He began to clear the debris in the yard and used part of the open space to grow vegetables. He started with some simple vegetables, such as spinach, greens and carrots. At first, the progress was not smooth. The soil was not fertile and some of the seeds did not germinate well. But Li Xiangqian was not discouraged. He carefully studied the planting techniques in the book, adjusted the soil pH and improved the drainage system.

Gradually, the vegetable garden in the yard began to come alive. The vegetables grew well, and the green leaves sparkled in the sun. Li Xiangqian not only provided fresh vegetables for his family, but also sold the surplus in the market. Although his income was meager at the beginning, he gradually accumulated experience, became more and more proficient in planting techniques, and his income gradually increased.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian's courtyard became more and more like a small farm. He tried to grow more crops, such as beans, pumpkins, eggplants, and some fruit trees such as apples and pears. He not only focused on improving the soil, but also began to learn how to use natural methods to prevent and control pests and diseases. After a period of exploration and practice, he gradually formed his own set of planting methods.

During this process, Li Xiangqian also became more cheerful and confident. His life gradually improved, and his family's financial situation improved significantly. His neighbors also began to look at him with new eyes. Some asked him for planting techniques, and some even took the initiative to help him expand his vegetable garden. His courtyard was transformed from an ordinary residence into a place full of vitality and hope.

Li Xiangqian's success not only made him feel gratified, but also made him understand a truth: as long as you try hard, you can always find a solution to the difficulties in life. Planting in the courtyard not only made him rich, but also made him find the joy and sense of accomplishment in life in the process.

Li Xiangqian's courtyard has been transformed from an ordinary residence into a small farm full of life. Deep in his heart, his passion for planting is growing. However, he realizes that with the change of seasons, the cold winter poses new challenges to the growth of vegetables. In order to protect the fruits of his hard work, he decided to build a vegetable shed in the yard.

Every morning, Li Xiangqian would walk to the yard with a hint of sleepiness and anticipation as the sun rose. The green vegetable patch in the yard looked particularly fresh in the morning light, and the dew on the vegetable leaves sparkled in the sunlight. He walked over and stood on the vacant land where he originally planned to build the vegetable shed, his eyes wandering over the vacant land. He began to imagine what the vegetable shed would look like after it was completed, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"This should help the vegetables," Li Xiangqian whispered to himself, as if to encourage himself. His mind quickly returned to the contents of the book and some similar facilities he had seen in the market before. He decided to build a simple vegetable shed with wood and plastic sheeting to maintain a suitable temperature and protect the vegetables from the cold.

"Xiang Qian, how are you going to build this vegetable shed?" Uncle Wang, a neighbor, came over and asked with a bit of curiosity. He was an enthusiastic old man who was always willing to help others, especially Li Xiang Qian's planting business.

"Uncle Wang, I'm going to build a simple vegetable shed. Winter is coming, and I'm worried that the vegetables won't grow well." Li Xiangqian said, pointing to the open space, "I plan to build a structure with wooden strips and plastic sheets. The insulation effect should be good."

Uncle Wang nodded. "Well, that's a good idea. If you need help, just call me. I have some wood here that you don't need. You can take it."

Li Xiangqian felt warm in his heart and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Wang. I was wondering where to find this wood. That's great. I will definitely look for you."

In the next few days, Li Xiangqian began to prepare to build the vegetable shed. He and his wife measured the dimensions, designed the structure, and made plans. Their children played nearby, occasionally running over to help pick up some tools or wood blocks. His wife Liu Fang helped check the quality of the wood, and her meticulousness made the work go more smoothly.

Whenever night falls, Li Xiangqian will sit in the house, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, quietly thinking about the progress of the day. His heart is full of expectations for the future, but also a little worried. The weather forecast said that there will be a cold wave in the next few days, which made him think more about the effect of the vegetable shed.

"The vegetable shed must be made stronger so that the wind won't blow it down." Li Xiangqian decided in his heart, and he made the final adjustments to the design of the vegetable shed. Although he was a little anxious, he knew that only by continuous trial and improvement could everything go smoothly.

Finally, the vegetable shed was completed early one weekend morning. Li Xiangqian stood in front of the shed, looking at the still tender vegetables inside, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. He hung a thermometer in the shed to ensure that the temperature could be kept within the appropriate range. Every day, he would walk to the shed from time to time to observe the vegetables inside and adjust the temperature and humidity in the shed.

A few weeks later, the cold winter arrived as expected, but the vegetables in Li Xiangqian's vegetable shed still maintained their vigorous vitality. Whenever he saw the lush greenery in the shed, he would feel warm and happy in his heart. He knew that this was not only a reward for his hard work, but also a thank you for the help of his family and neighbors.

One day, Uncle Wang, a neighbor, came to Li Xiangqian's yard with some small gifts. He saw that the vegetables in the vegetable shed were growing well, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Xiang Qian, your vegetable shed is really well built. It's not easy to see such delicious vegetables in winter." Uncle Wang said, handing over some pickled vegetables grown at home, "This is a small gift for you to try."

Li Xiangqian took the pickled vegetables with a smile, his heart full of gratitude. Looking at the busy and fulfilling life in the courtyard, he realized that his efforts not only changed his life, but also made his interpersonal relationships closer. Every smile and every word of praise made him feel that the meaning of this job was more profound.

The completion of the vegetable shed made Li Xiangqian feel relieved. Although the winter is still bitterly cold, the vegetables in the shed are still thriving in the warm environment. He checks the temperature and humidity every day, trying his best to ensure that the environment in the shed remains at the most suitable state. Although these tasks are tedious, they give him a sense of satisfaction.
