Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

As time goes by, Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao continue to be busy with their planting work. They regularly check the moisture of the soil to ensure that the plants can grow healthily. Although the work every day is hard, they feel more joy and satisfaction in the process.

In this process, Li Xiangqian gradually realized that solving problems depends not only on resources and conditions, but also on one's own efforts and wisdom. He knows that in the face of difficulties in life, only by maintaining a positive attitude can more solutions be found.

Time passed quietly, and life in the courtyard gradually stabilized through day-to-day labor. The efforts of Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao bore fruitful results in the courtyard. Although the challenges they faced still existed, their mentality became more determined and optimistic. Amid the busyness and expectations, Li Xiangqian began to think about how to bring this stability to more people in need.

One morning, as sunlight streamed into the house through the curtains, Li Xiangqian sat at the table, flipping through information from the market and community announcements. His mind was always lingering on one question: how to better use his experience and resources in planting to help neighbors facing similar difficulties.

Xu Damao walked into the room, saw Li Xiangqian's focused expression, smiled, and asked, "Xiangqian, what are you busy with today?"

Li Xiangqian raised his head, his eyes gleaming with some thought: "Da Mao, I'm thinking about how to use our current resources to help others. The problem of food shortage is plaguing many families now. I hope that through our efforts, more people can get some help."

Xu Damao showed a hint of surprise and recognition in his eyes: "This is a very good idea. Although our grain planting is still in its early stages, if we can share some experience and resources, it will really help more people."

Li nodded, his determination becoming stronger. "Yes, I want to organize some sharing sessions on food planting through community activities. This will not only help everyone understand planting methods, but also let them learn how to create more possibilities with limited resources."

Xu Damao agreed, with some support in his eyes: "Then we can start preparing some materials and invite residents in the community to participate. In this way, everyone can solve some practical problems through sharing and learning."

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao worked hard to prepare for the sharing session. They made a detailed plan, including explanations of planting techniques, demonstrations of practical operations, and Q&A sessions. Li Xiangqian also prepared some suggestions on grain storage and management, hoping to help more people.

Li Xiangqian was full of anticipation for this event, but also a little nervous. He knew that although he had some experience in planting, he still needed to be fully prepared to pass on this experience to others. He kept checking the content of the explanation to ensure that every detail was done to the best.

"I hope this sharing session can go smoothly." Li Xiangqian said to himself, with some expectation and nervousness in his eyes.

Xu Damao saw Li Xiangqian's condition, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Xiangqian, you have done a good job. As long as we prepare carefully and help others sincerely, we will definitely achieve good results."

On the day of the sharing session, the community activity room was bustling with people, and many residents came here with curiosity and expectation. Li Xiangqian stood on the podium, looking at the audience in front of him, with a sense of responsibility in his heart. He knew that this was not only an opportunity to explain planting techniques, but also a practice to help others.

At the beginning of the activity, Li Xiangqian explained the basic knowledge of growing wheat and corn in simple and clear language. He introduced the selection of soil, seed treatment, fertilization and watering techniques, as well as how to deal with common problems. He explained every detail carefully to ensure that everyone could understand and master it.

"Growing food is not difficult. The key lies in being careful and patient," said Li Xiangqian, his eyes revealing his passion for planting. "I hope that everyone can learn some practical skills through today's sharing to help themselves and their families cope with the problem of food shortage."

During the explanation, Li Xiangqian also arranged a practical demonstration. He invited some residents to the stage to show how to treat the soil and sow seeds. Everyone watched carefully and exchanged their questions and experiences from time to time.

The atmosphere of the sharing session was warm and positive, and many residents said they benefited a lot. At the end of the event, Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao also prepared some simple planting tools and seeds for everyone to take back and practice.

"Thank you all for participating today. I hope you can put this knowledge into practice," Li Xiangqian said with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation. "If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us."

After the event, Li Xiangqian and Xu Damao stood in the corner of the activity room. Seeing everyone leave with satisfied smiles on their faces, they felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

"Today's event was very successful and received very good responses," said Xu Damao, with some satisfaction in his eyes. "Through this sharing, we have helped many people and gained a lot."

Li nodded, his heart filled with joy and gratitude: "Yes, this event not only taught us a lot, but also made us feel the joy of helping others. I hope there will be more opportunities like this in the future, so let us continue to work hard."

After returning to the courtyard, Li Xiangqian was in a particularly good mood. He knew that this activity not only solved some problems, but more importantly, it brought hope and confidence. He felt that although life is full of challenges, as long as he works hard and persists, he can bring more positive changes.

He remembered that a few days ago, Old Wang had been talking to him, saying that the weather had changed in recent years, and nothing would grow well, so it was no surprise that the potato harvest was poor. He didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that this courtyard house relied on old craftsmanship, and even if the harvest was not good, the usual craftsmanship could still make a living. But now, looking at the pile of rotten potatoes in front of him, Li Xiangqian felt heavy in his heart. He knew that this was not just a matter of a few bags of rotten potatoes, it seemed that the life of the entire courtyard house was slowly rotting.

When Li Xiangqian's father was alive, the courtyard was bustling. The men in the courtyard had work to do, the women went to the fields to weave and wash clothes, the children ran around in the yard, and all kinds of dried vegetables and grains were drying under the eaves. Although life was not rich, it was full of vitality.
