Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

After leaving the courtyard, Liu Ping'an walked towards the outside of the city.

There were quite a lot of people traveling out of the city along the way.

They were not going anywhere. Most of those who went out were going outside the city to look for wild vegetables.

Under the influence of the drought, it is good enough to be able to eat wild vegetables.

In many places, people are even chewing on tree bark.

When they got outside the city, everyone else walked to the sides, but Liu Ping'an continued moving forward carrying a large flour bag.

I don’t know if spring is coming.

Today, the sun came out for the first time, making Liu Ping'an feel a little hot.

"No wonder there's a drought this year. It's so hot when the sun comes out. If it stays there for a year, it'll be hard to avoid a drought."

The power of nature could not be resisted, and Liu Ping'an could only sigh in his heart. He picked up the bag again, hid under the shade of the tree, and strode forward along the road.

Qinjia Village was not far away. Liu Ping'an walked along the road for an hour and arrived at the village entrance.

At a glance, he saw sparse houses extending from the village entrance into the village, many of which were thatched houses, huddled in the open area and looking extremely lonely.

Liu Ping'an picked up the bag and walked towards the village.

There is a big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and under the tree lies a middle-aged man with wild grass in his mouth.

The middle-aged man had dark skin and was wearing a tattered cotton jacket. He was lying comfortably under a tree to rest, and the wild grass hanging in his mouth had been chewed up by him repeatedly.

As soon as he heard the footsteps, he subconsciously opened his eyes. After seeing Liu Ping'an's appearance clearly, a surprised smile appeared on the middle-aged man's sleepy face.

"Safety!"

"Why are you back!"

The man shouted a few words of joy, then quickly turned over and hurriedly walked to Liu Ping'an.

He walked up to Liu Ping'an, held his shoulders and touched them.

Liu Ping'an was helpless and twisted his body: "Uncle San, I'm not a child anymore, can I lose two taels of meat?"

Although he said this, he felt warm in his heart.

This person is his third uncle, named Liu Jianping.

His grandfather Liu Xingwang had three sons and one daughter, and Liu Ping'an's father Liu Jianjun was the second oldest.

The Liu family is prosperous. Liu Ping'an is the oldest of the third generation and has a three-year-old sister. His uncle, third uncle, and aunt all have two children. His aunt married and moved to the next village. The rest of the family has not separated and lives together.

Excluding Liu Ping'an who lives in Sijiu City, there are 13 people in Qinjia Village.

A mother is worried about her son who is away from home. Liu Ping'an is alone outside and seldom comes home. Of course his family members are very happy to see him.

Liu Ping'an also enjoyed this kind of care.

He was an orphan in his previous life. With the progress of urbanization, the relationship between neighbors became increasingly cold.

In his previous life, he never knew his next-door neighbor's last name until he died.

And here, this kind of care without any mixed interests makes Liu Ping'an, who was an orphan in his previous life, very enjoyable.

"I'm now assigned to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as a buyer. I happened to be in the countryside today, so I came to take a look."

Liu Ping'an's explanation made Liu Jianping stunned for a moment, and he immediately smiled happily again.

"Red Star Steel Mill? Okay, okay."

Liu Jianping had worked in Beijing before and was very familiar with these state-owned enterprises.

He used to want to apply for the security job at the university. That was just a temporary job, not a formal employee, but those people were still proud and looked down on him.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a large factory under the Ministry of Industry, and being able to get in there can be described as having a bright future.

Not to mention that the purchasing agent is one of the eight major personnel, and his future is even brighter.

It is a great honor for me to see that my nephew is so successful.

He looked at the bag of flour in Liu Ping'an's hand and asked, "Do you want me to help you carry it?"

"No, it's not that heavy."

Liu Ping'an shook his head. He hadn't put anything in it yet, so it would be best if his uncle didn't notice the weight problem.

Liu Jianping didn't care. He patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder and took him inside.

"Your grandparents are still working. I just took a break and am about to go back."

Liu Jianping didn't feel embarrassed at all, as he was a carefree person.

And even though he said that, he would not be lazy and would complete the task every time, he just didn't work that hard.

Do as he said.

"The crops belong to everyone. Just do your job well. Why work so hard when you won't get much?"

It’s a pity that my third uncle was born early. If he had been born later, he would probably have gone into business a long time ago.

The two walked towards the village side by side.

There was still some distance from the village entrance to the village, so Liu Ping'an took the opportunity to open the Lingquan space.

This space is equivalent to a portable space, and Liu Pingan can check it at any time.

Sure enough, only half a day had passed.

There were seven or eight more chickens in the farm, running around and playing there, looking very comfortable.

Although the time ratio between the outside world and space is one day to half a year.

But there are spiritual springs and plants nourished by the spiritual springs in the space. These chickens eat these feeds and grow very fast.

Liu Ping'an looked at the dozen or so eggs in the farm again and closed the space with satisfaction.

To the outside world, all these things only took Liu Ping'an a moment.

After walking a few steps, the two arrived at the collective fields in the village.

There are many people busy in the fields.

Now it is the beginning of spring, which is the busiest time for the production team.

Pulling manure, plowing the land, sowing seeds, storing fertilizer, leading animals, carrying water, cutting grass...a series of endless work.

At this time, it is the standard work from sunrise to sunset, and there is no time for entertainment at all.

But then again, what’s the point of entertainment if you can’t even afford to eat?

Liu Jianping walked to the edge of the field and shouted loudly: "Dad, Mom, look up and see who's back!"

Liu Jianping had a very loud voice, which attracted everyone working in the fields and they all looked up at him.

Although Liu Ping'an was shy about his uncle's loud voice, he still glanced at everyone.

By sorting his memories, he immediately found his family.

Especially the two old people in the fields closest to him, they were his grandparents.

Originally, Liu Xingwang was dissatisfied when he heard Liu Jianping's voice.

He is an honest man and is very grateful to the people of Qinjia Village for taking him in, so he works very hard.

Among his three sons, Liu Jianping is the most slow at work.

Although no one in the village said anything, Liu Xingwang still felt embarrassed and sorry for the care the villagers had given him.

So when Liu Xingwang heard Liu Jianping's voice, he got angry on the spot.

But as soon as he looked up and saw Liu Ping'an, his anger suddenly disappeared, endless joy surged in his heart, and he wanted to hurry over.

There is another person who is faster than him.

"Hey, my oldest grandson is back from town!"

Grandma Chen Lan was agile and walked to the edge of the field in two or three steps and hugged Liu Ping'an affectionately.

Seeing this, the others also started discussing it in surprise.

"Isn't this Ping An from Liu Jianjun's family? I remember he seemed to be studying at a technical secondary school in Sijiu City. How come he's back?"

"You heard this news from that year. Ping An has already started working. I heard he joined a small factory."

"A small factory is also a state-owned enterprise."

"Oh, doesn't that mean he can eat commercial grain and become a city dweller? He is really promising. If I had known earlier, I should have let my son go to school. Maybe he will be no worse off than Ping An."

"Forget it. Your son has just finished elementary school and can't even recognize as many characters as I do. He even has trouble writing his name."

There was envy and joy in his words, but not much jealousy.

It’s not like this for all the villagers, but in this village, the atmosphere is relatively harmonious.

This is also Liu Ping'an's luck.

Chen Lan hugged Liu Ping'an, touched his little face, and said distressedly: "Why did your eldest grandson come back? Did you suffer injustice in the city? Just come back, there is nothing good in the city anyway."

"What are you saying, woman?"

Grandpa Liu Xingwang followed up and started scolding Chen Lan when he heard what she said, but his eyes were still full of concern for Liu Ping'an.

Liu Ping'an felt warm in his heart and was about to explain when he heard Liu Jianping's proud voice.

"Ping An has been transferred to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as a buyer. Today, I am here to work, not to play."

Liu Jianping was afraid that others would not understand, so he explained: "The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a large factory in the city of Beijing, with more than 10,000 people working there."

When these words were spoken, the crowd, who were already envious, exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god, with tens of thousands of people in this factory, how many kilograms of wild vegetable porridge must be eaten every day?!"

"You are ignorant, right? They are a state-owned enterprise, and the worst they can do is eat flatbread."

"Bread is nothing. I heard that we have to eat meat once a week."

"Meat? Oh my god, I haven't eaten any meat in years. I've forgotten what it tastes like. I don't know if it's delicious or not."

"Silly woman, is there any meat that doesn't smell good?"

When Liu Ping'an heard their words, he didn't feel proud, but rather a little uncomfortable.

Especially when he saw his parents, uncle, aunt, third aunt, and two younger sisters coming over one after another, he felt even sadder and even wanted to cry.

They all looked pale and listless, which made Liu Pingan feel heartbroken.

"The suffering people..."

“If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. Although I cannot do the latter, I can still feed my family and the villagers.”

Thinking of his Lingquan space and his instant-kill system, Liu Ping'an felt a lot more at ease.

"Alright, alright, everyone stop standing around and finish your work!"

An old man walked up from the field. Liu Ping'an recognized him at a glance and respectfully called him "village chief".

He is the village chief of Qinjia Village, and everyone likes to call him Master Qin San.

Mr. Qin San looked at Liu Ping'an and said with a smile: "Ping'an finally came back, you two should go back and gather together first, and come back later."

"Thank you, Third Master, but there's no need for so many people to go back. The work hasn't been completed yet."

Grandpa Liu Xingwang spoke and pointed at Chen Lan.

"Let my wife go back and stay with Ping An."

Grandma Chen Lan nodded quickly and touched Liu Ping'an's hair with satisfaction.

"Grandma will take you back first. You should go back and have a good rest."

Liu Ping'an nodded, then walked to his family members and called them one by one, and finally called "Mom and Dad" in front of his parents.

"Go back and have a good rest. We'll meet again in the evening."

Although Liu Jianjun had a lot to say, there were too many people here and the work was not done yet, so he, not being good at speaking, could only pat Ping An on the shoulder.

Mother Zhang Guiying wanted to cry, but she was too proud to cry in front of so many people.

She just nodded and hugged Ping An tightly.

Liu Ping'an felt the warm embrace and had only one thought in his mind.

"Family love is indeed the most heartwarming feeling in this world."
