Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the thin, gauze-like clouds and gently poured down on the earth, Xu Damao had already walked briskly into the gate of the transportation department of the steel rolling mill. The air was filled with a fresh and slightly metallic smell, indicating that a new day had begun. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes met the busy figure of Section Chief Chen. Section Chief Chen was looking down and immersed in a mountain of documents, and the pen in his hand quickly crossed the paper, making a rustling sound.

Hearing the footsteps, Section Chief Chen looked up, his eyes revealing a bit of fatigue but determination. He put down the documents in his hand, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to Xu Damao: "Xiao Xu, today I have a very important task for you and your team. We need two trucks from the factory to transport live pigs to the meat processing plant. This job is not easy, you have to make sure those lively 'little guys' arrive at their destination safely."

Hearing this, Xu Damao was immediately filled with an indescribable excitement and anticipation. Although he knew that transporting live pigs was not an easy task and required great patience and carefulness, the challenge made him feel excited. He nodded without hesitation and said firmly: "Chief Chen, don't worry, we will do our best to complete the task!"

With this promise, Xu Damao quickly left the office and went straight to Yan Jiecheng's lounge. Yan Jiecheng, an old partner who has fought side by side with him for many years, is not only skilled in driving, but also has rich transportation experience. As soon as the two met, they understood each other without saying much and decided to join hands in this special "journey".

They came to the parking lot together and walked around the two trucks that would accompany them to complete the mission, carefully checking every detail: whether the braking system is sensitive, the tire wear, whether the engine is running normally... making sure that each item is in the best condition and be fully prepared for the upcoming mission.

With the roar of the engine, the two trucks slowly drove out of the factory gate and set off for the meat processing plant. Xu Damao gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes focused and determined; Yan Jiecheng sat in the co-pilot seat, occasionally looking out the window, admiring the ever-changing scenery along the way, and chatting with Xu Damao.

The topic gradually extended from the little interesting things in daily work to the feelings about life and the vision of the future. At this moment, Xu Damao suddenly changed the subject and said to Yan Jiecheng with a bit of joking: "Jiecheng, look at the two of us, we are either busy driving or repairing cars every day, working non-stop. You are not young anymore, isn't it time to think about your personal problems? Find a partner and take care of each other, how great it is!"

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but blush. He scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "Haha, Damao, you changed the subject too quickly! I'm not ready yet. Besides, I'm so busy with work now, how can I have time to fall in love?"

Seeing this, Xu Damao patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't worry, fate is something that sometimes comes and goes, and you can't stop it. Maybe one day, you will meet the person who makes your heart beat fast on the road. Moreover, if you have a partner, you can work together to create a better life together."

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Yan Jiecheng smiled naively, stroked the back of his head gently, and said shyly: "Oh, Brother Damao, you changed the subject so quickly that I didn't even have time to react. But what you said makes sense. Finding a partner really depends on fate, and you can't rush it."

Just like that, the two continued driving forward in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, heading towards the meat processing plant, their hearts full of anticipation for unknown challenges and yearning for a better life.

Xu Damao drove the car attentively, his eyes fixed on the winding road ahead, and said to Yan Jiecheng earnestly, "Fate is not a good child. It will not wait for it to come to us. We have to take the initiative and strive for it ourselves. Look at those young men in our factory. Which one of them didn't lock on to the object of his or her affection early on and began to revolve around her? You are just too introverted and shy. You have to be braver. When you meet someone you like, chase after him or her boldly. Don't leave yourself with regrets."

After hearing Xu Damao's heartfelt words, Yan Jiecheng's face turned slightly red, as if he was gently brushed by the morning light. He began to ponder Xu Damao's words in his heart, knowing that Xu Damao had good intentions and hoped that he could find a happy family as soon as possible. So, he smiled and replied: "Okay, Brother Damao, I understand your intention. After I complete this mission, I will definitely keep this matter in mind and think about it carefully. I will work hard to find a suitable wife as soon as possible and bring her home to show you."

Xu Damao held the steering wheel firmly with both hands, turning it slightly as the road conditions changed, his eyes revealing determination and confidence. The morning light shone softly through the windshield on his slightly rough but honest face, adding a mysterious and charming glow to him. Yan Jiecheng sat leisurely in the passenger seat, casually playing with a straw he had just picked up from the roadside, with a faint, satisfied smile on his lips.

Their topic gradually shifted from finding a partner to talking about each other's family, childhood fun, and even their beautiful visions for the future. Each story was like a shining star in the night sky, embellishing their common sky, flashing a warm and bright light.

"Da Mao, after we complete this mission, how about we go to the newly opened restaurant in town for a meal?" Yan Jiecheng licked his lips, his eyes full of anticipation and desire for delicious food. "I heard that the braised pork there is a must-try, and it tastes amazing!"

"Haha, Jie Cheng, your nature as a foodie is exposed again!" Xu Damao laughed heartily, "But if you really want to eat, I can treat you. As long as everything goes well today, let's go celebrate and eat to our heart's content!" His eyes sparkled with infinite yearning and longing for a better life.

As the truck slowly drove into the country road, the scenery on both sides slowly unfolded like a beautiful painting. The green fields were endless, like a green ocean swaying gently in the breeze; the occasional calls of cattle and sheep in the distance added a bit of pastoral poetry. The breeze blew through the car window, bringing fresh air and the fragrance of the soil, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.

The two of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery outside the window while chatting about family matters and interesting things. Before they knew it, the truck had arrived at the gate of the meat processing plant. Inside the meat processing plant, a busy and orderly scene came into view. The workers were busy loading and unloading goods, and the pigsty was filled with pig squeals, which seemed particularly lively and lively. Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng smiled at each other and prepared to face new challenges and tasks.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng followed the detailed instructions of the meat processing plant staff and carefully parked the car in the area that had been designated long ago. The location was convenient for loading and unloading and would not hinder the passage of other vehicles. They slowly opened the car door, ready to officially start today's "special mission." As soon as Yan Jiecheng stepped out of the car, the scene in front of him attracted his attention like a magnet. He looked at the energetic pigs locked in the pigsty, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy: "Oh, this job looks much harder than I imagined! Look at those pigs, each one is fat and strong, and very strong. We have to be careful."

Seeing this, Xu Damao patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder gently and comforted him in an encouraging tone: "Don't worry, we will follow the steps planned in advance. As long as we work together to complete this task, the future will naturally be better." After listening to Xu Damao's words, Yan Jiecheng nodded, took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up, and then he plucked up the courage and approached the pigpen step by step.

"What are you afraid of? Can't the two of us deal with these little guys together?" Xu Damao smiled casually and patted Yan Jiecheng on the back. The two of them walked side by side towards the staff of the meat processing plant, intending to seek some professional advice or help.

At this time, the meat processing plant was bustling with people, and all kinds of noises intertwined to form a unique "labor symphony". Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng took a lot of effort to finally squeeze in front of the staff. They asked politely: "Master, we are here to pull pork. How do we do it specifically?"

The staff shrugged helplessly, pointed at the busy figures, and said, "Today there are too many companies coming to the meat processing plant, and there are not enough people. You have to move the pigs onto the truck by yourselves."

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this. He scratched his head, turned to look at Yan Jiecheng, and said with a wry smile: "It's good now. The two of us have become temporary 'pigherds'. It seems that we have to show our skills today."

Yan Jiecheng also grinned, patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "Come on, brother, let's be 'strong men' today and invite these little guys to get in the car one by one." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work hard.

Seeing this, Xu Damao no longer hesitated and followed Yan Jiecheng into the challenging pigpen. The pigpen was filled with a strong smell of pig manure, which made people frown. But the two of them didn't care about that and began to carefully select the right pigs to move.

They first opened the door of the pig cage carefully, trying to get the pigs to get on the truck voluntarily in a gentle and persuasive way. However, these lively and restless big guys obviously did not buy it. Some ran around, while others groaned in protest. The air around them was filled with a special smell, a mixture of grass, soil and pig smell, which made this "moving" work more vivid and real.

Faced with this dilemma, Xu Damao suddenly had an idea and proposed a new suggestion: "Jiecheng, why don't we divide the work and cooperate with each other. You are responsible for driving them from behind, and I will be in front to support them. Remember, we must be careful and must not hurt them." Yan Jiecheng listened to Xu Damao's words and nodded in agreement. So the two began a "wits contest" with the pigs.

After some effort and practice, they finally found the trick to move the pigs. First, they would gently stroke the pigs' backs to relax their vigilance; then, they would cleverly use the pigs' natural walking habits, whisper and guide them appropriately, and slowly let the pigs walk towards the truck step by step. Every time they successfully put a pig on the truck, they would smile at each other, and the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that emanated from the inside out filled their hearts with joy and pride.

Yan Jiecheng carefully selected the pigs in the pigpen and finally locked his eyes on a fat pig. He took a deep breath, hugged the pig's belly tightly with both hands, and tried to carry it out of the pigpen. However, the pig seemed to have noticed something and began to struggle desperately, kicking its four hooves randomly, almost making Yan Jiecheng lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Xu Damao was quick to help. He held the pig's hind legs with both hands and worked together with Yan Jiecheng. The two of them took great pains to lift the stubborn pig onto the cart. Although their movements were a bit clumsy, they worked in perfect harmony, as if they were performing a silent dance.

Then, they moved several more pigs, each time requiring tremendous effort. Sweat dripped from their foreheads and soaked their clothes, but they didn't care and just persisted silently. Finally, with the joint efforts of the two, all the pigs were safely loaded onto the truck.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng stood aside, looking at the cart full of pigs, their hearts filled with an indescribable sense of accomplishment. Although the experience was a bit embarrassing and even exhausting, they also felt the joy of labor and the power of teamwork.

Time passed slowly, the sun rose gradually, and the sunlight became hotter and hotter. Sweat kept dripping from their foreheads, soaking their clothes and sticking to their backs. But their faces were filled with satisfied smiles, as if they had forgotten the heat and fatigue. The surrounding workers saw their efforts and gave encouragement and laughter from time to time, adding a bit of liveliness and joy to the entire meat processing plant.

After a period of busy work, the last pig was safely loaded onto the truck. Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said to Yan Jiecheng with a smile: "Hey, although this job is tiring, it is quite interesting. We are a perfect team!" Yan Jiecheng smiled and responded: "Of course, we will be the real 'pork transport experts' in the future!" After that, the two smiled at each other, with tacit understanding and joy in their eyes.

They closed the pig cage and checked it again to make sure there were no problems before leaving with peace of mind. Xu Damao returned to the driver's seat and started the truck. The truck slowly drove out of the meat processing plant gate and set off on the journey home with a full harvest and laughter.

On the way back, they continued to chat happily. However, this time the topic was no longer limited to trivial matters of life, but an in-depth discussion centered on today's little adventure, how to better complete the next work, and future plans. The air was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, which made people feel particularly comfortable. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they encountered in the future, as long as they could work together like today, they would be able to overcome everything.
