Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

He Yuzhu lowered his head in disappointment, but soon raised his face again, his eyes still shining with determination. "Uncle Li, I understand. You have your own things to do, I will try my best to learn on my own. But, I really want to get your guidance."

Li Xiangqian felt a little reluctant, looking at He Yuzhu's eager eyes, he knew that his decision to refuse disappointed the other party. He felt a little guilty, but he also knew that he really couldn't take on more responsibilities.

"Yuzhu, I admire your enthusiasm." Li Xiangqian sighed softly, "You can go and have a look at those professional books and online resources, which are all good ways to learn. I can also recommend you some good books. If you have any questions, you can always come to me for consultation, and I will try my best to help answer them."

He Yuzhu nodded gratefully. He knew that Li Xiangqian's advice was valuable and understood that he was busy. He took the books that Li Xiangqian handed to him, and his heart was full of expectations for future studies.

"Thank you, Uncle Li. I will make good use of these resources." He Yuzhu said sincerely, "I hope I will have the opportunity to consult you again in the future."

Li Xiangqian nodded, feeling relieved. After he saw He Yuzhu leave, he had mixed feelings. He knew that although he could not personally guide, he could give some useful advice and help others, which was also a good support. He returned to the vegetable field and continued his work, but he was always thinking about He Yuzhu's learning progress.

In the days that followed, Li Xiangqian's busy life remained at a steady pace. He was busy in the vegetable garden every day, checking the growth of vegetables and taking care of the chickens. Although he no longer had time to study agricultural technology in depth, he still learned new knowledge from books and tried to improve his planting methods.

One day, when Li Xiangqian was busy in the yard, he saw He Yuzhu experimenting with a new planting method in a nearby open space. He felt a little relieved. Although he did not personally guide him, he was very happy to see He Yuzhu's independent exploration and progress.

"Yuzhui, what are you busy with?" Li Xiangqian walked over and asked when he saw He Yuzhui carefully turning the soil.

"Uncle Li, I'm trying a new planting method. The book says this method can improve soil fertility." He Yuzhu replied with concentration and excitement on his face. "I followed the content in the book you recommended, and I think the effect is quite good."

Li Xiangqian nodded, feeling relieved. "That sounds good. As long as you keep learning and practicing, you will definitely gain something. If you encounter any problems, remember to come to me at any time."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, "Thank you Uncle Li, I will definitely do it."

Seeing He Yuzhu's dedication, Li Xiangqian was filled with expectations for his future. He knew that although he could not provide comprehensive guidance, He Yuzhu would definitely succeed through these books and personal efforts.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian gradually felt that his life in the courtyard was becoming more mature and his work was becoming more and more handy. However, facing the upcoming planting season, he knew that to ensure the yield and quality of vegetables, choosing high-quality seeds was a crucial step. For this purchase, he decided to take his old friend Xu Damao to the seed market in town.

Xu Damao is Li Xiangqian's friend for many years and has rich experience in agriculture. Although he is a little older, he is very particular about the selection and use of seeds. Li Xiangqian has always believed that Xu Damao's experience in this area will be of great help to him. They agreed to set out together on a sunny morning, and Li Xiangqian's heart was full of anticipation and excitement.

"Good morning, Damao." Li Xiangqian met Xu Damao at the agreed place with a warm smile on his face. "Today we are going to the town to select seeds. Are you ready?"

"Good morning, Brother Li. I've been ready for a long time." Xu Damao answered as he walked, with a sophisticated smile on his face. "I heard that there are some new varieties on the market this time. We can take a good look."

They set out on the journey to the town together. Along the way, Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao talked about their recent progress in the vegetable fields, and Xu Damao also gave some suggestions and opinions from time to time. Li Xiangqian listened very carefully and was full of confidence in the upcoming purchase.

When they arrived at the market in the town, it was already bustling with people. The stalls in the market were full of all kinds of seeds, neatly placed on the shelves. Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao walked to a seed stall, and the stall owner greeted them warmly.

"Welcome! What kind of seeds do you need?" the stall owner asked with a smile, his eyes full of a businessman's shrewdness and enthusiasm.

Xu Damao picked up a packet of seeds, examined it carefully, and then handed it to Li Xiangqian. "Brother Li, the outer packaging of this packet of seeds is good, but we still need to check the specific quality of the seeds."

Li Xiangqian nodded, picked up the seeds and carefully observed them with his fingers under the light. He knew that the quality of the seeds directly affected the growth of vegetables, so this step was very important. Xu Damao asked the stall owner about the source of the seeds and the test report.

"This batch of seeds is directly supplied from us, and the quality is guaranteed." The stall owner looked at Xu Damao and seemed very confident. "You can use it with confidence."

Li Xiangqian listened to the stall owner's words, but he was still full of doubts. He knew that some merchants in the market might exaggerate the effects of their products for short-term profits. He secretly made up his mind to choose carefully and never blindly believe.

"We should not only look at the packaging and the merchant's introduction, but also understand the specific conditions of the seeds." Xu Damao added, "For example, the germination rate and disease resistance of the seeds are all things we need to pay attention to."

Li Xiangqian nodded, feeling that he had made a wise choice in choosing Xu Damao as his partner. They then went to several stalls, repeatedly comparing and carefully checking the detailed information of each seed. Xu Damao's experience enabled him to quickly identify high-quality seeds, while Li Xiangqian carefully recorded all relevant data and information.

After a morning of careful selection and comparison, Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao finally identified several high-quality seeds suitable for their vegetable fields. They purchased some and prepared to return to the courtyard to continue their work. Li Xiangqian felt relieved, knowing that this purchase would provide a solid foundation for his vegetable fields.

"We have had a great harvest today, Brother Li." Xu Damao exclaimed on the way back, "The quality of these seeds is very good. Your vegetable garden will definitely have a good harvest."
