Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Liu family.

Liu Xingwang got up early in the morning and sat under the eaves to drink hot water.

He put on his coat and put a small piece of candy in the cup.

When the sugar cubes were completely melted, he shook the cup and drank the sugar water happily, looking even more enjoying it than when he was drinking the wine.

"You damn old man, I told you to eat candy yesterday but you refused. Now you know this thing is good?"

The grandmother who was passing by glanced at the grandfather and said something with disdain.

"You old woman, my grandson is honoring me, so I have to be reserved, right? I, Old Liu, am not one of those vulgar people."

Liu Xingwang drank another sip of sugar water, then asked in surprise: "I heard my grandson's voice earlier. Could it be that he went back to take a nap?"

"No, Grandpa. Brother Ping An put two fish baskets down by the river yesterday to catch fish. He went to get them today."

Xiaoqiang came out and squatted on the doorstep, sucking on the candy that his grandmother had cut.

This is what Ping An told me, saying that sugar has many benefits.

Drinking sugar water when you have heatstroke can quickly relieve dehydration in the body. Drinking some sugar water every day can also nourish the body and has many benefits.

As for whether drinking too much sugar water will cause obesity.

Liu Ping'an expressed his contempt for such statements. Are we still worried about obesity in this day and age?

"Fish basket? Ping An is so awesome, can he catch fish?"

"Of course, Brother Ping An is so awesome!"

Xiaoqiang has been completely conquered by Liu Ping'an. Among so many adults in the village, only Brother Ping'an can make him eat delicious meals and drink spicy drinks every day.

Is anyone else okay?

At least his father, who is an unreliable person, definitely won’t work.

"As expected of my grandson, you are really capable."

Liu Xingwang has had a smile on his face since yesterday. Although the atmosphere at home is usually pretty good, he rarely feels so happy.

The family is having a great time together, with smiles on everyone’s faces.

"Xiao Qiang, go out and pick up your brother Ping An. There might be too much stuff to carry."

Liu Xingwang didn't expect to bring anything back safely. Now that the water level in the river has decreased, it's not like the villagers haven't gone down to the river to fish before.

Many people searched for a long time, but only found a finger-sized fish fry that was barely enough to fill a gap between teeth.

Now that food is so scarce, the villagers have thought of many solutions.

I went up mountains and down rivers, and went to every place I could, but I basically couldn't find anything good.

Some time ago, a hunter in the village went up the mountain to hunt and was almost eaten by a blind bear. After that, few people dared to go up the mountain.

"Okay grandpa, I'll go right away."

Xiaoqiang played with the candy in his mouth and ran out of the yard happily.

As soon as he ran out, Xiao Qiang saw Liu Ping'an walking along the ridge with a fish basket in his hand. He immediately shouted, "Brother Ping'an, don't move! I'll come and pick you up!"

While shouting, Xiaoqiang ran over excitedly, like a monkey that had just jumped out of a rock.

Seeing this, Liu Ping'an also stopped where he was and waited for Xiaoqiang to come over.

Don't let him go over there, the road is not far and Xiaoqiang doesn't have any sense of accomplishment.

Xiaoqiang ran over panting, shaking his head excitedly, looking left and right at the fish basket in Ping'an's hand.

"Brother Ping An, are there any big fish in there?"

"Of course there is. Take a look if you don't believe me."

Liu Ping'an likes to tease the two brothers Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao the most. Xiaoqiang is a chubby boy who likes to pretend.

But the person he met was his younger brother Liu Tao. Liu Tao was dull-witted and didn't respond to his brother at all. Instead, he said things that could make his brother angry to death.

They are simply a pair of happy enemies.

Liu Ping'an handed the fish basket over, Xiaoqiang happily took it, looked down, and saw only a cold pebble inside.

Xiaoqiang was stunned.

"Where's the fish?"

However, he reacted quickly and realized that Brother Ping An would definitely get nothing.

He immediately comforted her, "It's okay. Grandpa said that there is less water in the river, and fewer fish. Some time ago, the adults in the village went down to the river to fish for most of the day but didn't find any fish..."

Liu Ping'an didn't expect that Xiaoqiang had such a high EQ and knew how to comfort people at such a young age.

"Silly boy, here it is."

Liu Ping'an stopped teasing him and handed him another fish basket.

Xiao Qiang tried to catch the fish basket, but he lost his hold and the basket fell to the ground. A big fish fell out of the basket, tumbling on the ground, spitting bubbles.

The big fish scared Xiaoqiang so much that he jumped back, widened his eyes and exclaimed: "What a big fish, what a big fish!"

Xiaoqiang saw the big fish jumping on the ground and wanted to jump into the field.

He hurriedly squatted down and held the fish tightly in his arms. He looked just like the doll holding a fish in the New Year pictures.

After picking up the fish, Xiaoqiang couldn't stop smiling.

He ran home with the big fish in his arms, shouting, "Grandpa, grandma, sister, aunt, and little sister, come and see! Brother Ping An has caught a big fish!"

Xiaoqiang's shout startled Liu Xingwang who was enjoying his drink, and the sugar water spilled on the ground.

Liu Xingwang was so distressed by this that he jumped up and said, "You bastard, why are you yelling so loudly? You've even spilled all my sugar water."

He patted his wet pants, looked up and saw Xiaoqiang rushing in with a big fish in his arms.

Xiaoqiang's voice was so loud that it called out all the family members.

They looked at the big fish in Xiaoqiang's arms, all of them were stunned, and couldn't believe that there was such a big fish in the river.

"Xiao Qiang, where did you get the fish?"

The aunt didn't know about Ping'an's fish basket and looked at Xiaoqiang curiously.

"Brother Ping An caught it in a fish basket!"

Xiao Qiang was very proud of the fish, as if he had caught it himself. He paraded the fish through the market, and when he got in front of his grandmother, she grabbed it.

"Oh my goodness, this fish is too big."

Uncle San took a look at the fish and exclaimed in amazement. Then he thought that he would definitely have fish for lunch today, and rubbed his hands happily.

Liu Ping'an also walked into the yard at this time, and the others hurriedly surrounded him.

When Lele saw his brother, he ran over happily, hugged Liu Ping'an's thighs and raised his chin.

"My brother is awesome!"

Liu Ping'an felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his family members surrounding him, so he handed the fish basket to his grandfather.

"Grandpa, there are still some crabs and river shrimps in there. Give them to grandma to deal with so that we can have some river food for lunch."

Grandpa took the fish basket, looked inside, and took out a river shrimp.

"Oh my goodness, these river shrimps are so fat, are they really from our river?"

"It's none of your business, as long as there's something to eat."

Third Aunt rolled her eyes at Third Uncle, and Grandma nodded in agreement: "My eldest grandson must be blessed by God, otherwise why would he find prey again and again after returning?"

"The hunters in the village wandered around in the mountains for a long time and didn't find anything, but my grandson caught a rabbit and a pheasant as soon as he went there."

When others heard this, it seemed to be true.

Even though feudal superstitions have been eliminated, most people still believe in imaginary gods when they encounter difficulties.

"Don't talk about these nonsense. Old woman, go get the small water tank from the warehouse. Boss, go get some water. Keep the fish there first and deal with it when you come back at noon."

Grandpa made the final decision right away. Everyone knew that there would be something delicious at noon, so they returned to the main room in high spirits, ready to eat breakfast and go to work in the fields.

"Come in Ping'an, grandma made some pancakes for you today. They're so delicious."

Grandma brushed the dust off Liu Ping'an and led him into the main room.

In addition to wild vegetable porridge and pickles on the table, there were also the pancakes that grandma mentioned. There weren't many, but each person got one.

After everyone was seated, grandma picked up a pancake and put it into Liu Ping'an's bowl.

"Grandma doesn't want to eat it, so you can eat one more."

"No, if grandma doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either."

Although Liu Ping'an likes the atmosphere at home, he doesn't want his family to sacrifice for him, even if it's just a small thing.

"Okay, okay, my eldest grandson is the one who knows how to care for others."

Liu Ping'an directly picked up the pancake and put it into grandma's bowl. Grandma agreed with satisfaction and did not persuade him anymore. The family ate the delicious breakfast.
