Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

After settling these details, Li Xiangqian carefully made a schedule for everyone, including when to water and fertilize, when to observe pests and diseases, and even the response measures for weather changes. After all, it is not easy to rely on the weather for food, so he wants to reduce accidents as much as possible and keep everything under control.

He Xiaomei took the timetable written by Li Xiangqian and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are so careful. You remember all these clearly. Even I don't feel tired anymore."

Li Xiangqian smiled slightly, touched her head, and said gently: "Little sister, you need a method to do your work. Only by dividing the work and cooperating with each other can you get twice the result with half the effort." He knew that such an arrangement would not only make the management of the cucumber field more standardized, but also allow the He family to have a clear division of labor so that they would not feel panicked.

It was late at night. Li Xiangqian looked at everyone in the room and felt a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before. He understood that this was not just for growing cucumbers, but also for the peace of mind and stability he could bring to the He family. He knew that the He family was not at ease, and his presence made them feel that they had a support and a direction to move forward. This courtyard was no longer an empty and quiet place, but a warm and fulfilling home.

He looked out the window at the night, thinking silently about tomorrow's arrangements. He also needed to check the stability of the shed, see if there were any loose bamboo poles, and prepare insect repellent. Thinking of this, he stood up, walked gently into the yard, looked around the land, and felt a sense of responsibility. This piece of land, this yard, and all the hopes of the He family were his responsibility. Thinking of this, his heart warmed and he smiled unconsciously.

Aunt He also walked out slowly, looked at his back as he stared at the night sky, and whispered, "Xiang Qian, it's getting late, go inside and have a rest, there's still a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Li Xiangqian turned around and nodded: "Okay, Auntie, I'll stay here for a while and will be right back." His tone was calm and gentle, with deep concern for the He family.

When Aunt He returned to the house, he stood in the yard and closed his eyes, feeling the coolness of the night breeze, which seemed to take away all the fatigue of the day. He secretly vowed in his heart that no matter how difficult or tiring it was, he must make the He family's yard revitalized. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and silently calculated every step for tomorrow.

The morning sun had just shone through the branches into the yard, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the earth. Li Xiangqian looked up at the sky and exhaled gently. He knew that there were still many things to arrange today, especially for the cucumber field. Although the sunshade had been set up, weeds had already quietly emerged. If these weeds were not removed, the nutrients of the cucumbers would be taken away, affecting their growth. He thought about it and decided to ask Xu Damao to help with the weeding. After all, he was quick at work and familiar with the conditions in the field.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangqian walked towards Xu Damao's yard. After knocking on the door a few times, it opened soon. Xu Damao rubbed his sleepy eyes and poked his head out. Seeing that it was Li Xiangqian, he immediately became more energetic and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Xiangqian, you came to see me so early, what's the matter?"

Li Xiangqian smiled, his tone revealing a bit of casualness: "Da Mao, are you free today? I want you to help me weed the cucumber field. The weeds have been growing very fast recently. I'm afraid we have to pull them out by the roots, otherwise it will be difficult to control."

Xu Damao listened and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, Brother Xiangqian, I'll take care of the weeding. I'll prepare it right away, don't worry."

Li Xiangqian nodded, feeling satisfied with Xu Damao's straightforward agreement. However, he also knew that Xu Damao was a little impatient and tended to overlook details. Although weeds were a small matter, they would grow back in a few days if they were not removed thoroughly. He couldn't help but add, "Damo, we must be more careful when weeding, and try to pull out all the weed roots, especially those stubborn weeds. We must not be soft-handed. If the weed roots are not removed thoroughly, they will grow again in two days."

After hearing this, Xu Damao had an awkward smile on his face, but he quickly regained his confidence and patted his chest and said, "Brother Xiang Qian, don't worry, I will definitely be careful this time and won't be perfunctory!"

Li Xiangqian nodded in approval, thinking to himself: If Xu Damao can pull out the weeds thoroughly this time, I can rest assured and assign him to do more detailed work in the future.

Xu Damao quickly went back to the house, took out a shovel and a straw hat, and followed Li Xiangqian to the cucumber field. The sun was rising slowly, dewdrops were glittering on the ground, and the air was filled with the fresh smell of soil. Xu Damao looked at the newly emerged weeds and couldn't help frowning, muttering to himself: "There are so many weeds, it's really a troublesome job." But when he thought of Li Xiangqian's trust, he couldn't be careless, and he felt motivated again and planned to do a good job.

Li Xiangqian stood nearby and pointed to several corners of the field. He said with some concern, "Da Mao, there are a lot of weeds in those fields. Start from there today and slowly move forward. Try to keep the ground as flat as possible. It will be easier for us to water and fertilize in the future."

Xu Damao nodded, rolled up his sleeves and started to work. He carefully dug the roots of the weeds with a shovel, while observing the surrounding soil, trying not to damage the roots of the cucumber seedlings. He knew that these cucumber seedlings were the hope of the He family, and if he worked more carefully, he would not only be responsible to Brother Xiangqian, but also to the He family.

After working for a while, Xu Damao suddenly stopped what he was doing, straightened up and took a breath, with beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead. He looked at Li Xiangqian who was not far away, and shouted with a smile: "Brother Xiangqian, this weed is really stubborn. I used all my strength to pull out a small piece of it."

Li Xiangqian came over and saw Xu Damao working hard. He praised him in his heart. He smiled and said encouragingly, "Damo, the grass is stubborn, but we can't be afraid of trouble. You did a good job in removing the grass roots. Basically, all the roots were pulled out. This way, the cucumber seedlings can absorb nutrients better."

Xu Damao was praised and immediately felt a sense of pride in his heart. He had an honest smile on his face: "Brother Xiang Qian, don't worry, I will be more careful next time and will never let these weeds have a chance to grow back!"

The two continued to work, Li Xiangqian instructed them and personally participated in weeding. He knew that if Xu Damao worked alone, there might be omissions, so keeping an eye on him would be a help.
