Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

However, just as he was struggling, there was a light knock on the door. Aunt He's voice came through the door, with a hint of worry in her voice: "Xiao Li, are you still awake? I heard some noise in your room. Are you feeling unwell again?"

Li Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, feeling a little scared. It turned out that Aunt He had heard his muffled groan. He blamed himself, knowing that he could not continue to hide it, so he replied softly, "Aunt, I... I have a stomachache. It may be because I didn't rest well. It's okay, don't worry."

Aunt He didn't believe it, so she pushed the door open and saw him curled up in bed in pain, looking pale. She felt so distressed. She gently patted his shoulder, her tone full of concern: "Xiao Li, it's been so many days, what happened to you? Young people can't hold on, you should go see a doctor!"

Li Xiangqian looked at Aunt He's anxious expression and felt guilty. He knew that if he continued to hide the truth, it would only make Aunt He more worried, so he sighed and whispered, "Aunt, it's really okay. I'm just busy taking care of the vegetable garden recently and I might be tired. I want to rest for a few more days. If it doesn't work, I'll go see a doctor."

Aunt He looked at him distressedly and patted his hands gently: "You, don't always think about saving money. You have done so much for us, but your health has been ruined. We can't afford it. Listen to me, go see a doctor tomorrow. It's better to spend some money than to let it develop into a serious illness."

Li Xiangqian nodded. Although he agreed verbally, he was still hesitant in his heart. After dawn, he endured the pain and wanted to buy some vegetables at the morning market, thinking that if he really bought some medicine, it might also help. He held the wall and walked out of the courtyard step by step, enduring the pain and squeezing into the crowd at the morning market. But this time, the pain seemed to become more severe. After just a few steps, his vision blurred, his feet softened, and he fell to the ground.

The scene of Li Xiangqian falling down in the market was like a sudden storm, which completely broke his originally peaceful life. Just when he was helped up and felt helpless, Aunt He and Uncle He rushed over with anxious faces. When Aunt He saw Li Xiangqian's pale face and trembling hands, she became even more anxious and almost shed tears.

"Xiao Li, what happened to you? How did you fall?" Aunt He stepped forward and held his hand with concern. Her palm was cold, which made Li Xiangqian feel heartbroken. He realized that he could no longer endure it. If he continued like this, he might really get into trouble.

"I'm fine, Auntie, I just feel a little dizzy, maybe because I didn't eat." He forced a smile, trying to cover up the panic in his heart with a lie. But Auntie He didn't believe him at all, and held his hand tightly, with a worried look in her eyes.

"Don't be so stubborn, I'll take you to see a doctor." Aunt He said firmly, as if she had made up her mind. Li Xiangqian hesitated for a moment, thinking: "But I still want to go back first and wait for things to calm down." But he felt Aunt He's determination and could no longer refuse, so he could only nod.

Finally, at Aunt He's insistence, Li Xiangqian was sent to a small hospital in the town. After some examination, the doctor paused for a moment and said in a serious tone: "Young man, your gastroenteritis is serious. You need to treat it properly and can't delay. You need to rest and take some medicine." Li Xiangqian felt heavy in his heart, knowing that his forbearance had finally paid a price in his body.

Aunt He held his hand, gently but firmly: "Xiao Li, don't be afraid, we will be with you during this time, you just need to take good care of yourself, your health is the most important." Li Xiangqian felt the warmth from Aunt He, and silently swore in his heart that he must get better soon and not let them worry.

After a few days of hospitalization, Li Xiangqian's condition gradually improved and he regained some strength. Although he felt helpless, he was full of gratitude. Uncle He and Aunt He stayed with him almost every day, helping him with the hospitalization procedures, taking care of his diet, and even whenever he felt bored, Aunt He would tell him those interesting stories about life, which made him laugh and relieved some of his heavy mood.

After being discharged from the hospital, Li Xiangqian felt his body recovering and began to rethink his future plans. He knew that although he had encountered setbacks during this period, life would not stagnate because of these small setbacks. At this moment, he was more determined to arrange life in the courtyard better and provide more help to the He family.

"I have to tidy up the cucumber field as soon as possible and fertilize them." Li Xiangqian thought to himself. Although he knew that he still needed some time to recover, when he thought of the hard work that Uncle He and Aunt He had put in for him, Li Xiangqian felt an indescribable motivation. He knew that he could not let the He family down, especially during this period, Aunt He's care and concern made him realize that the meaning of life lies in mutual support and companionship.

So he began to plan the next work, and decided to start with the cucumber field. A few days later, the weather cleared up, and Li Xiangqian took out the fertilization tools and prepared to fertilize the cucumber field. He found a few bags of organic fertilizer, picked up a shovel, walked to the green cucumber field, and felt the sunshine on his body, warm and comfortable.

"These are the cucumbers I planted. I have to take good care of them." Li Xiangqian said to himself, full of expectations for the future. As the shovel turned the soil again and again, his love for life gradually awakened. He imagined that when the cucumbers were harvested, Aunt He and Grandpa He would sit in the yard, enjoying the fresh vegetables with satisfied smiles on their faces.

At this time, Aunt He happened to pass by and saw Li Xiangqian busying around. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Little Li, why are you busy again? You better be careful. You're not fully recovered yet."

Li Xiangqian stopped what he was doing and smiled at Aunt He: "Aunt, I just want the cucumbers to grow as quickly as possible. We can eat fresh cucumbers in a few days. You and Uncle can wait!"

Aunt He shook her head, but her tone was full of tenderness: "You are such a hard-working kid. Don't overwork yourself, your health is important. When the cucumber grows up, I will make you fried cucumber eggs. It will be delicious!"

"Okay, I'm really looking forward to it!" Li Xiangqian replied with a smile, feeling warm in his heart. He secretly made up his mind to let the He family live a better life no matter what, and no longer let them worry about him.
