Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Liu Ping'an and his family stood quietly at the entrance of the village. Everywhere they looked, they saw the plants and trees that were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar. The old trees that had witnessed countless sunrises and sunsets, the stream that flowed with childhood laughter, and the golden rice fields, all looked even warmer and more beautiful under the afterglow of the setting sun. Their hearts were like being pressed by an invisible boulder, filled with deep reluctance and attachment to this land. The sun gently fell on everyone's face, and the golden light intertwined with the tears in their eyes, reflecting some of the sadness caused by separation, as well as some of the warmth and touching caused by family and friendship.

The village chief, who is usually dignified but kind, held the hands of Liu Ping'an's grandparents, which were full of traces of time, tightly at this moment, with a light of reluctance in his eyes, as if he had thousands of words to say but didn't know where to start. "Old Liu, the village will be less lively after you leave. Remember to come back often, this will always be your home." Although the words were simple, they were full of affection and moved people. The grandparents nodded in agreement, their eyes were slightly red, but in addition to reluctance, their eyes also showed infinite expectations for the future, that is, the yearning for a better life for their children and grandchildren.

Not far away, a group of aunts formed a circle, tightly surrounding Auntie, Third Auntie and Zhang Guifang. They talked about family matters and occasionally burst into hearty laughter, which penetrated the haze of parting, trying to dilute the sadness in the air with this rare laughter. "Guifang, don't forget us old sisters when you are in the city. Come back more often when you have time. We also dance square dance together!" The aunt patted Zhang Guifang on the back while speaking, and the strength hidden in that was the reluctance and blessing for the old friend, and her eyes were full of warmth, as if she wanted to convey this friendship to each other through her eyes.

The uncles formed a tighter circle, with the eldest uncle, the third uncle and Liu Jianjun standing in the middle, talking about this year's harvest, the village's future development plan, and their vision and hope for the children's future. "Jianjun, you have to work hard outside and bring honor to our village! If you need any help, just tell us, we brothers are always on call!" The uncle's words were full of encouragement and support, a kind of power that could be felt without saying much, and it warmed people's hearts.

Children are the most carefree. They gather around Xiao Tao and Xiao Qiang like a group of happy birds, chattering about the new things in the city that they have only seen on TV, their faces filled with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world. "Brother Xiao Qiang, is the amusement park you mentioned real? You must take me there next time you come back!" A little boy pulled Xiao Qiang's clothes, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. That innocence and desire made people want to fulfill their every wish.

The young girls formed a colorful circle, with Xiaoxia, Xiaoyan and Liu Ping'an's wife Qin Jingru standing in the middle, discussing fashion, new things in the city, and their dreams and pursuits for the future. "Jingru, I heard that life in the city is wonderful, you must enjoy it, and don't forget to bring us some trendy clothes!" Xiaoxia said to Qin Jingru with a smile, her tone showing both envy for life in the city and sincere wishes for her friend's future happy life.

Liu Pingan stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at all this, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew very well that every separation was for a better reunion, for his family to live a better life. He secretly made up his mind that no matter where he went, no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, he would never forget the land that raised him, these simple and kind folks, and the deep nostalgia and feeling of being connected to his roots.

"Don't worry, we will come back often. No matter where we go, our hearts are closely connected with this place." Liu Ping'an's voice was firm and warm, like a warm current that penetrated the hearts of everyone present, bringing them strength and comfort. At this moment, the sadness of parting seemed to be resolved by this deep affection, leaving only a beautiful vision of the future and endless blessings.

Finally, the moment of farewell that they both expected and feared inevitably came. Liu Ping'an and his group stood at the entrance of the village, their eyes lingering on the familiar fields, old trees and the winding river, their hearts filled with emotions that were hard to let go. The heavy bags on their shoulders were filled with local specialties given by the villagers enthusiastically, and even more filled with the indescribable deep friendship. The urging sound of the car horn sounded, as if reminding them that the time of parting had come. They slowly set out on their way home, the wheels rolling, gradually moving away from this land full of memories, but the deep attachment to their hometown, like a brand, is forever engraved in their hearts.

When they returned to the familiar courtyard, the setting sun was already hanging in the sky, and the golden afterglow filled the entire courtyard, covering it with a layer of light golden gauze. The courtyard looked particularly peaceful and warm under the setting sun, as if it was also welcoming the return of its owner in its own unique way.

The others were indeed tired, and the fatigue from the long journey left deep marks on their faces. However, they had satisfied smiles on their lips, which showed their deep satisfaction with this trip back home and their infinite expectations for future life. They returned to their rooms one after another, unloaded their luggage, and couldn't wait to share what they had seen and felt along the way.

"Oh, I am so exhausted, but seeing how warm the villagers are, I feel it is all worth it." The aunt said with emotion while rubbing her waist, with a happy smile on her face, which was full of gratitude to the villagers and satisfaction with this trip. "They prepared so many delicious foods for us and gave us so many gifts. They are so polite."

"Yes, although I am tired, my heart is warm." Aunt San also agreed, her voice full of maternal love and satisfaction, "Especially when I see the children are so happy, I feel that everything is worth it. They play so happily and make so many new friends."

Xiao Tao and Xiao Qiang were like two lively and lovely little birds, running around in the yard excitedly, showing the little gifts they received in the village. They kept shouting, "Look, this is the slingshot Xiao Ming gave me, this is the wreath Xiao Hua gave me, and this is the little wooden horse the village chief gave me..." The pure joy infected everyone, filling the whole courtyard with laughter.

Liu Ping'an stood quietly in the yard, looking at all this, his heart full of emotion.

He knew that this trip back home not only deepened the relationship between his family and fellow villagers, but also cleansed and sublimated everyone's soul. He seemed to see his family's vision and confidence in the future, and also saw the responsibility and mission on his shoulders.

He secretly made up his mind to work harder to create better living conditions for his family. At the same time, he should go home more often and not forget his original intention.

"Ping'an, how do you feel about coming back this time?" Liu Jianjun walked over, patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"It's great, Dad. I'm very happy to see the folks being so enthusiastic." Liu Ping'an replied with a smile.

"Well, that's good. When you go back this time, you must work hard and don't let down the expectations of your fellow villagers." Liu Jianjun said earnestly.

"I understand, Dad. I will try my best." Liu Ping'an nodded firmly, his heart full of confidence and expectations for the future.

Liu then decided to go to the steel mill and resume his daily job as head of the purchasing department.

He stood in front of the mirror and carefully adjusted his clothes, making sure every wrinkle was smoothed out, as if this could also calm the waves in his heart.

He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination and motivation to return to work, and then resolutely walked out of the courtyard gate. He knew that only by working hard could he create a better life for his family, repay the love of his fellow villagers, and turn the warmth and strength brought back from the countryside into unremitting motivation for his work.

Arriving at the steel mill, Liu Pingan walked towards the Personnel Department with ease. When the head of the Personnel Department saw him, he immediately smiled warmly, as if he was meeting a long-lost friend: "Pingan, you're back? How was your vacation?" His words were full of care and regards, which warmed people's hearts.

Liu Ping'an responded with a smile: "It's great. I feel a lot more relaxed after returning to my hometown. The scenery of my hometown and the smiling faces of my relatives all put me in a good mood." His smile was full of satisfaction and happiness, as if this trip back home not only relieved his physical fatigue, but also made him find inner peace and strength, as if all difficulties and challenges could be easily solved.

As they were chatting, the HR staff member next to them interrupted casually with a hint of surprise and regret in his voice: "Have you heard? Xu Damao was cheated on by his wife Zheng Niang. This matter is now widely spread. I really didn't expect it. They usually seem to be in harmony with each other."

Liu Pingan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Although he didn't know much about Xu Damao's private affairs, he knew that this incident was undoubtedly a huge blow to Xu Damao. He shook his head and sighed in his heart: "Life is so unpredictable. I didn't expect this matter to spread so quickly. It seems that whether it is work or life, we need to cherish and grasp it more." At the same time, he also cherished his family and life more, and was determined to work harder, not only for the happiness of his family, but also to gain a firm foothold in the workplace and create a better and more stable future for his family.
