Chapter 191 Bringing Water into the Yard

Li Xiangqian closed his eyes. He could feel that this setback had deeply hit his confidence. He thought of what his father had warned him about. He seemed to have failed to stay calm in the face of difficulties. He needed more time to reflect and think about how to face these difficulties in the future.

Everything in the yard seemed to become extremely small and fragile at this moment. Li Xiangqian tried hard to suppress the disappointment and self-blame in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to be depressed. He had to stand up and rethink the solution to the problem.

"We'll start over tomorrow." Li Xiangqian finally broke the silence, his voice low but firm. He needed to convey to everyone that although they failed today, they should not be discouraged and they must keep moving forward.

Uncle Liu looked at Li Xiangqian standing in front of the table and felt his determination. He smiled and said, "Yes, Master. We will be more careful and cautious tomorrow. We will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties ahead."

Their conversation was full of determination and hope. Although they felt lost due to today's failure, they knew that it was just a short stop on their way forward. They needed to learn lessons from it, reorganize their thinking, and continue to fight for the future of their family.

Li Xiangqian stood in the courtyard of the quadrangle, feeling relieved. He looked at the rice and flour piled in the warehouse, knowing that these were enough to support the people in the courtyard for a while. Although they were far from getting out of trouble, at least the problem was temporarily solved.

He closed his eyes and thought back to their efforts in the market yesterday. Despite the setbacks, they had finally managed to get enough food and some necessities through some small-scale transactions. The feeling of regaining control relieved the fatigue in his heart.

The air in the yard seemed to have become a little fresher, and everyone's face showed a sense of relief and relief. Li Xiangqian turned his head and saw the young people in the yard eating breakfast together. Their smiles were brighter than usual, as if they were celebrating a small victory.

"Master, look, how long will this food last us?" A young man came over with a bowl of steaming porridge and asked with a smile.

Li Xiangqian took the porridge with a smile. He could feel the joy and expectation of the young people. He couldn't help but feel emotional. Although these young people were young, they showed maturity and determination in the face of difficulties. Behind them was their infinite hope for the future of their family. This belief made them stronger than they looked.

"These grains are enough to support us for about a month." Li Xiangqian took a mouthful of porridge and tasted the sweetness of the rice. "But we can't relax because of this. We must continue to work hard and look for more opportunities and resources to ensure that we can overcome the current difficulties."

The young people nodded in agreement, and they were full of trust and respect for Li Xiangqian. Li Xiangqian knew that now they needed unity and cooperation more than ever before. They had to work together to restore the former prosperity and vitality of this courtyard.

Uncle Liu came over with an account book in his hand. He smiled and said, "Master, this is a list of transactions in the market yesterday. We can use this to understand how much we have spent and how much is our remaining assets."

Li Xiangqian took the account book and looked at the details of each transaction attentively. He knew that these were not just numbers, but the results of their efforts and a guide for the future. He hoped that every penny of expenditure would bring the greatest benefit to the people in the yard.

"We must be cautious and make sure every expenditure is well planned and considered." Li Xiangqian raised his head and looked at the crowd. His voice was firm and serious. "Although our situation has improved, we are still in an extremely difficult environment. We need to focus on finding more opportunities for survival and development."

Uncle Liu and the young people nodded in agreement. They knew they couldn't be careless now. They had already tasted the taste of failure and knew that making the same mistake again would cost them a greater price. They had to remember Li Xiangqian's teachings and his infinite expectations for the family.

Li Xiangqian stood in the courtyard of the quadrangle, facing the next problem they had to solve - water. Although they had solved the problem of food, water was the source of life, and without enough water, their lives would not be sustainable.

He stood in the middle of the yard, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, wondering where there might be a source of water. Although the mountains in this place were not high, they were undulating, and water sources were not as easy to find as they imagined.

"Master, how should we find water?" A young man walked over cautiously, his voice full of confusion and uneasiness.

Li turned forward and faced the young people. He knew it was time to give them some confidence and hope. "We need to carefully observe the surrounding terrain and vegetation." His voice was calm and powerful. "Water sources are usually hidden deep in the valley or in the green trees. We can start searching from those places first."

The young men nodded. Although they lacked experience, they all knew the importance of this mission. They followed Li Xiangqian's instructions and began to search the mountains and forests around the courtyard.

After passing through a dense forest, they came to a deep valley. Li Xiangqian stopped at the mouth of the valley and carefully observed the situation at the bottom of the valley. He saw a thin stream flowing through the valley. Although the water was not much, it seemed enough to support the living needs of the yard.

"It seems we have found a water source." Li Xiangqian said to the young people with a smile, and he could not hide his joy in his heart. "We need to bring water from here to the yard to ensure that we can make full use of this resource."

The young people looked at Li Xiangqian, and a trace of relief and joy appeared on their faces. They knew that Li Xiangqian's vision and decision-making were wise and effective, and they believed that he could lead them out of the current predicament.

"Master, what should we do?" A young girl came up, her eyes full of expectations and trust for the future.

Li Xiangqian thought for a while, then said, "We need to build a simple waterway system to bring the stream water here into the pool in the yard. I will find someone to dig a shallow canal, and then build some simple waterways to bring water into the yard."
