Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Liu Pingan sat on a small stool, smiling and watching Xiaoyan busy in the kitchen, his eyes full of satisfaction. She skillfully cut vegetables and stir-fried vegetables, with neat and skillful movements. Soon, the cold crucian carp and fragrant chicken soup were ready.

They brought the prepared food to a small table in the yard and sat down to enjoy this simple but warm lunch together. The sun shone through the leaves and the breeze made people feel very comfortable.

Liu Pingan picked up a piece of fish, dipped it carefully in the salad dressing, and put it in his mouth. He closed his eyes, savoring the delicious taste, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. The fish was tender and juicy, and the salad dressing tasted just right, leaving a lasting aftertaste.

He nodded with satisfaction, turned to Xiaoyan and said, "Try it and see if your cooking skills have deteriorated?" Xiaoyan eagerly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, and carefully put it into her mouth. She chewed it carefully, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face.

"Wow, brother, you are so awesome! This cold-mixed crucian carp is even more delicious than the ones in restaurants outside!" Xiaoyan said excitedly, with joy shining in her eyes.

Liu Ping'an smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "Don't praise me, it's just an ordinary home-cooked dish. Come, try this chicken soup and see how it tastes." As he said that, he picked up the spoon and served Xiaoyan a bowl of steaming chicken soup.

Xiaoyan took the bowl, blew on it gently, and then drank it in small sips. The aroma of the chicken soup filled the air, leaving a lingering fragrance in her mouth. She savored every bite carefully, feeling the deliciousness of the chicken and the mellowness of the soup. After drinking it, she licked her lips and praised it, "Mm, it tastes great! Brother, how come you can do everything?"

The temperature of the chicken soup was just right, not scalding her mouth, but enough for her to feel the rich aroma and delicious taste. The chicken soup slowly slid down her throat, bringing a warm feeling, as if wrapping her whole body in a layer of comfortable heat.

"Wow, this chicken soup is so delicious! Brother, you are really a talented chef!" Xiaoyan exclaimed, with surprise in her eyes. She drank a few more mouthfuls in succession, and every mouthful made her intoxicated, enjoying the satisfaction brought by this delicious dish.

Liu Ping'an smiled and replied: "As long as you study hard, you can do anything well. And cooking is also a kind of fun and can make people relax." He looked at Xiaoyan's happy face and felt very warm in his heart.

They ate and chatted, sharing each other's daily life. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and only a happy atmosphere surrounded them.

Liu Pingan was filled with joy when he saw Xiaoyan's happy face. He knew that his cooking skills were recognized, and this sense of accomplishment made him feel very happy. The two of them chatted happily while tasting the chicken soup, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. They shared the little interesting things in life, and laughter kept echoing in the room.

After dinner, Liu Ping'an suggested: "Xiaoyan, let me take you to see the newly bought courtyard house." Xiaoyan's eyes lit up immediately and an excited smile appeared on her face. "Great! I've wanted to see it for a long time!" she said impatiently.

So, the two rode their bicycles through the narrow alleys and headed towards the newly bought courtyard house. Along the way, Xiaoyan was full of anticipation and kept asking Liu Pingan various questions about the courtyard house. Finally, they arrived at their destination.

Liu Pingan opened the door and led Xiaoyan into the courtyard. As soon as Xiaoyan entered the main hall, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. The spacious and bright space, the antique decorations and the exquisite furniture all made her amazed.

"Wow! This hall is so big! And these furnitures are so beautiful!" Xiaoyan shouted excitedly. She walked quickly to a carved wooden chair, gently stroked the smooth armrests, and felt the texture of the wood. "Brother, this chair feels so comfortable!" she said excitedly.

Liu Pingan looked at Xiaoyan's happy expression, with a gratified smile on his face and a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He smiled gently and said to Xiaoyan softly, "Xiaoyan, go and see which room you like and pick one for your bedroom." Xiaoyan's eyes lit up immediately, and she was as excited as a little bird. She jumped and ran to see the room, shouting as she ran, "Great! I finally have my own room! Thank you, brother!" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like the most beautiful note in spring.

Liu Pingan looked at Xiaoyan's back, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that no matter how much effort he put in, as long as he could make his family happy, then everything was worth it. This feeling made him feel extremely fulfilled and satisfied.

Xiaoyan ran into each room, carefully observing every detail. Finally, she stopped in front of a south-facing room. The sun shone through the window onto the floor, warm and bright. She excitedly turned around and shouted, "Brother, I'll choose this room!" Liu Ping'an smiled and nodded, indicating his agreement. Xiaoyan happily rushed into the room and began to plan her own little world. She wanted to turn this place into a warm and comfortable place so that she could fall asleep happily every day.

Liu Ping'an looked at Xiaoyan's busy figure, his heart full of emotion.

He also had time to visit other parts of the courtyard.

Liu Pingan stood up and walked slowly in the courtyard, echoing history with every step. He walked into the quaint rooms, touching the old walls, feeling the stories and traces of time they carried. Every brick and tile seemed to be telling the past glory and vicissitudes.

He came to the backyard, where there was a small vegetable garden, full of greenery and vitality. Several fruit trees stood tall, with branches full of ripe fruits, exuding an alluring aroma. Liu Pingan thought, this is a great place, which retains the traditional charm while maintaining the convenience and comfort of life.

Liu Ping'an has even begun planning how to use the front and back yards of the courtyard.

He thought that he could plant some flowers and plants in the front yard to create a beautiful little garden, so that Xiaoyan could have a place to play and invite neighbors to drink tea and chat. In the backyard, in addition to the existing vegetable garden, he could also build a grape trellis. In the summer, the whole family could enjoy the coolness under it and eat the grapes they planted. How pleasant it would be!

The more Liu Pingan thought about it, the more excited he felt. He seemed to have seen the beautiful picture of living here in the future. He turned and walked back to the main room, intending to share his ideas with Xiaoyan.
