Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

In the evening, when Liu Ping'an opened the door of his house, he saw a group of girls sitting on the sofa and chatting.

At this time, the living room was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was very harmonious. The girls were chatting enthusiastically, especially the sisters Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu, who were laughing so hard that they fell backwards. Xiaoxia and Xiaoyan, who were standing aside, seemed more quiet, but they also had a faint smile on their faces.

"You've all washed up, so you go and rest first. I have to go to bed after I finish washing up. I'm very tired." Liu Ping'an said as he took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

When he turned around, he found Qin Jingru walking towards him with a basin of steaming water. Her eyes were full of tenderness, which made people feel warm.

Liu Pingan took the basin and tested the water temperature with his hand. It felt just right. He picked up the towel and prepared to wash up. Just then, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded: "Knock, knock, knock!"

The sudden knock on the door startled the girls. They looked at each other, wondering who was knocking on the door so late at night.

When Liu Pingan heard the knock on the door, his brows slightly frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's so late, who could it be?" He quickly put down the towel in his hand, walked quickly to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door, but saw only darkness. After hesitating for a moment, he gently pulled the bolt, and the door made a "creaking" sound and slowly opened. A gust of night wind blew in, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Oh, it's the Third Uncle. You're visiting us so late. Please come in!" Liu Ping'an recognized Yan Bugui standing in the front yard at a glance. A warm smile immediately appeared on his face. As he spoke, he stepped aside and invited the Third Uncle into the house.

The third uncle Yan Bugui was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket with patches clearly visible. He was holding a cloth bag, which was bulging with something unknown. At this moment, he stood at the door, looking a little embarrassed. But his eyes showed a bit of urgency, as if there was something that needed to be resolved.

Qin Jingru heard the noise outside and came out of the kitchen. She was holding the freshly washed dishes in her hands. When she saw the third uncle, a friendly smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly put down the work in her hands and walked quickly to greet the third uncle.

"Third uncle, you are here. Come and sit down. I will make you a cup of tea to warm you up." Qin Jingru said enthusiastically. Her voice was clear and pleasant, which made people feel happy. After that, she turned and walked into the kitchen to prepare tea for the third uncle.

Qin Jingru's movements were swift and gentle. She quickly picked up the teapot and teacup, put the tea leaves into the cup, and then brewed it with boiling water. Soon, a cup of steaming hot tea was placed in front of the third uncle.

After a while, a cup of steaming hot tea was brought to the third uncle. The third uncle carefully took the cup with gratitude on his face. He first cast a grateful look at Qin Jingru, then took a sip of tea and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Jingru, you brewed this tea really well! And you are also very virtuous. It is a blessing for Ping An to marry a wife like you!" While speaking, the third uncle did not forget to secretly observe Liu Ping An's reaction with the corner of his eye, as if looking for an appropriate time to speak.

Liu Pingan noticed the strangeness of the Third Uncle. Although he was a little confused, he still kept a smile on his face. He held the Third Uncle's hand tightly and asked with concern: "Third Uncle, why did you suddenly come so late tonight? Did you encounter any emergency? We are a family. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There is no need to hide it."

When the third uncle heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He slowly raised his hand, rubbed his temple, sighed softly, and a trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, the third uncle finally spoke: "Ping An, to be honest, I came here for your third aunt's matter. You also know how our family conditions are, and there are many children in the family. The money I earn alone is really not enough. I originally thought that I could earn more money to supplement the family expenses, but who knows... I just want to ask, do you have any way to help your third aunt find a job?"

At this point, the third uncle's voice was a little choked, his eyes were slightly red, and tears were welling up in his eyes, as if they would fall at any time.

But the Third Uncle's acting skills were a bit poor, his tears kept rolling around in his eyes for a long time but just wouldn't fall.

Although Liu Ping'an knew who the Third Uncle was, he did have a good relationship with him and their family was indeed in financial difficulty.

Seeing this, Liu Ping'an hurriedly comforted him, "Third uncle, don't be anxious, talk slowly. It's not that I can't help with the work, but don't worry and hurt your health." As he spoke, he gently patted the third uncle's shoulder, trying to give him some strength and support.

The third uncle nodded gratefully and continued, "It's like this, I was wondering if you could help me find her an easier job. I know it's a bit unreasonable, but I really have no other choice."

As he spoke, he took out a crumpled wad of money from his cloth bag and handed it to Liu Ping'an, "I don't ask for anything, just take it easy, your third aunt isn't feeling well."

Liu Pingan took the money without even checking how much it was. He patted Third Uncle on the shoulder and said firmly, "Third Uncle, don't worry. I'll remember this. I'll go and ask around tomorrow and do my best."

When the third uncle heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he thanked him repeatedly: "Ping An, thank you so much! I feel much more at ease with your words." After that, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

Liu Pingan quickly stood up to see him off and said, "Uncle, please walk slowly on your way. Wait for my news. If there is any progress, I will let you know in time."

The third uncle nodded repeatedly, with a gratified smile on his face, and turned to leave Liu Ping'an's house. Looking at the third uncle's back, Liu Ping'an was filled with emotion. He knew the third uncle's care and love for his daughter, and also understood the importance of this job to their family. Although this matter was not easy, he decided to do his best to help the third uncle realize his wish.

Liu Ping'an and Qin Jingru accompanied the third uncle to the door together. Only after his figure disappeared into the night did they turn back to the house and continue their peaceful and warm night.
