Chapter 303 Thanks to Everyone

Banggen nodded and followed Li Xiangqian back to the courtyard. Xiaoli was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Li Xiangqian bringing Banggen in, she asked in confusion, "Xiangqian, what happened to Banggen?"

Li Xiangqian briefly explained the situation, and Xiaoli nodded, her eyes full of understanding and concern. "Good, sit down and rest for a while, auntie will make you something delicious."

Bang Geng looked at them gratefully, his heart filled with warmth and touching. He knew that he had done something wrong, but Uncle Li and Aunt Li did not blame him, but gave him more love.

At dinner, Li Xiangqian and Xiaoli prepared a sumptuous meal, which Banggeng ate with gusto. Li Xiangqian chatted with Banggeng while eating, learned about his family situation, and tried his best to help him solve some practical problems.

After dinner, Li Xiangqian sent Banggeng home. As they walked along the road, Banggeng whispered, "Uncle Li, do you really not blame me?"

Li Xiangqian smiled gently, "Bang Geng, everyone makes mistakes. What's important is that you can correct them. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me directly. Don't carry them alone, okay?"

Bang Geng nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Li. I will definitely remember this."

After returning home, Li Xiangqian and Xiaoli sat at the stone table in the yard and talked about what happened today. Xiaoli said with emotion: "Xiangqian, you handled it very well today. Children are sometimes ignorant and need our understanding and guidance."

Li nodded, "Yes, Xiaoli, I think we should not only teach them how to live, but also teach them how to face difficulties and mistakes. Only in this way can they truly grow."

Xiaoli smiled gently, "Let's work together to make this home better and let the people around us feel our love and warmth."

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Xiaoli continued to be busy in the courtyard. They not only took care of their own family, but also tried their best to help the neighbors around them. Banggen also became more sensible and often came to help Li Xiangqian take care of the vegetable garden and learned many planting techniques.

One evening, Li Xiangqian, Xiaoli, Xiaoming and Banggen were busy in the yard, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Li Xiangqian felt very satisfied, because he knew that although life was not easy, as long as everyone cared for and helped each other, any difficulties could be overcome.

In the center of the courtyard is a spacious patio, surrounded by various flowers, plants and trees. Li Xiangqian takes care of the yard every day and enjoys his leisure time. One day, while flipping through an old book, he suddenly came up with an idea: Why not try to grow some vegetables in the yard? Especially potatoes, which are easy to grow and rich in nutrients.

Li Xiangqian decided to clear a corner of the patio as his experimental field. He first bought some high-quality potato seeds at a nearby farmer's market and then began to prepare the soil. He loosened the originally hard ground and added decomposed organic fertilizer to make the soil soft and fertile.

The process of growing potatoes is not simple. Li Xiangqian learned from a book that potatoes prefer a cool climate, but not too wet. Therefore, he carefully controls the amount of watering every day to ensure that the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. At the same time, he also regularly checks the growth of the potatoes, removes weeds, and prevents pests.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian's efforts gradually paid off. The tiny potato seedlings began to break through the soil, and the green leaves sparkled in the sun. Seeing this, Li Xiangqian felt extremely satisfied and proud. He remembered that when he was a child, his mother used to grow potatoes in the backyard of their home. At that time, he and his friends played and fought in the potato field, and his mother always smiled and watched them. These memories made Li Xiangqian cherish the present time even more.

Seeing how well Li Xiangqian's potato seedlings were growing, other residents of the courtyard came to learn from him. They all felt that this kind of life was not only interesting, but also brought real rewards. As a result, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more lively, with everyone discussing planting techniques and exchanging experiences.

One day, Li Xiangqian was watering potatoes when his neighbor, Uncle Zhang, came over. Uncle Zhang was an old farmer who had worked in the countryside when he was young and was very good at planting. He looked at Li Xiangqian's potato seedlings, nodded, and said, "Little Li, your potatoes are well planted, but you can add some wood ash to prevent diseases and pests."

Li Xiangqian quickly thanked Uncle Zhang for his advice, went back to the house, found some wood ash, and evenly spread it on the potato field. Sure enough, a few days later, the potato seedlings became stronger and the leaves became greener.

Li Xiangqian's potato field has gradually become a highlight of the courtyard, attracting a lot of attention. Even some passing tourists would stop to watch and ask about the planting experience. Li Xiangqian enthusiastically introduced his planting method to everyone and encouraged more people to try to grow vegetables in their own yards.

In autumn, Li Xiangqian's potatoes can finally be harvested. He carefully dug the soil, and potatoes emerged one by one, each big and round. Looking at these potatoes, Li Xiangqian felt extremely happy and accomplished. He gave some of the potatoes to his neighbors, and they all praised his potatoes for their good taste and said they wanted to learn from his method and plant potatoes in their own yards.

The autumn sun is warm and gentle, shining in every corner of the courtyard. Li Xiangqian looks at his harvest of potatoes, and his heart is filled with satisfaction. He knows that this is not only the result of his labor, but also the proof of his close contact with nature. Every potato carries his sweat and hard work, and looking at them, he seems to see his own growth.

"This is a great harvest." Neighbor Lao Li came over and patted Li Xiangqian on the shoulder. "You grew these potatoes well. They taste really good."

"Yes, thanks to everyone's help." Li Xiangqian replied with a smile. His heart was full of gratitude, because with the support and encouragement of so many friends and neighbors, he has achieved what he has today.

At night, Li Xiangqian sat in the yard, looking at the starry sky, thinking about his next plan. Most of the potatoes had been harvested, and he decided to store some for emergencies. After all, there are always unexpected things in life, and it is necessary to store some food.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian began to prepare for the storage of potatoes. He found some woven bags and wooden boxes and put the potatoes in one by one, being careful not to damage them. He also dug a cellar in a corner of the yard to keep the potatoes dry and fresh.
