Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Under the enthusiastic embrace of the villagers, Qin Huairu and Liu Pingan both deeply felt an unprecedented sense of belonging. They understood that every blade of grass, every brick and every tile here carried their common memories and emotions. No matter where their future life will lead, this place will always be the root of their lives and their eternal spiritual home.

Qin Huairu's father stood quietly by her side, his eyes full of endless love and comfort. He stretched out his weathered hands, full of traces of time, and gently patted his daughter's back, as if he wanted to put all his thoughts and blessings into this gentle pat.

Qin Huairu's mother held Liu Ping'an's hand and said warmly, "Ping'an, come in and sit down. You've worked hard on this journey! We are really happy that you can come back to visit us." Her voice was full of gratitude and love for Liu Ping'an. She knew that it was Liu Ping'an who accompanied Qin Huairu through this long journey and enabled her to bravely face the challenges in life.

Liu Pingan smiled and nodded, and responded politely: "Thank you, Auntie, it's not hard. I feel very honored to be here." A warm current surged in his heart, and he was deeply moved by this simple family affection. He understood that this was not only Qin Huairu's hometown, but also his second home. Here, he felt unprecedented warmth and sense of belonging.

Then, Qin Huairu's parents began to get busy, and the kitchen became a stage for them to show off their cooking skills. The collision of pots and pans, like a cheerful movement, accompanied by the "sizzling" sound of cooking, together weave a symphony of home. Waves of tempting aromas wafted out of the kitchen, like invisible messengers, shuttling through every corner of the house, arousing the appetite of Liu Ping'an and Qin Huairu, and awakening their beautiful memories of home.

Seeing this, Liu Pingan quickly stood up and wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but was stopped by Qin Huairu's father with a smile. "You are a guest, how can I let you do it? Go to the living room to have a rest, have a cup of tea, and chat." Qin Huairu's father's tone was full of care and respect for Liu Pingan, which made him a little embarrassed, but also made him feel the warmth of home more.

Qin Huairu took Liu Ping'an's hand, and they walked into the living room together. The old-fashioned sofa seemed to still retain the traces of time, carrying the laughter of countless families. On the coffee table was a cup of freshly brewed jasmine tea, steaming hot, exuding a charming aroma, making people feel relaxed and happy. Liu Ping'an gently picked up the teacup and took a sip. The light tea fragrance instantly filled his lips and teeth, making him exclaim: "Good tea!"

Qin Huairu's parents would come into the living room from time to time, bringing fresh fruits or asking them if they needed anything else. They always had warm smiles on their faces, and their meticulous care made Liu Ping'an feel the warmth of home and the preciousness of family affection. A warm current surged in his heart, as if he had really become a member of this family.

The sunlight shines through the window onto the dining table, casting the shadows of the delicious dishes clearly. Those dishes are not only delicious, but also carry the deep love of Qin Huairu's parents for their daughter and son-in-law. At lunch time, the family sits around the dining table, laughter and joy interweaving together, forming a warm and beautiful picture.

The table was filled with rich dishes, and the aroma was fragrant. The braised pork was bright red, fat but not greasy; the sweet and sour spareribs were sweet and sour, leaving a lasting aftertaste; the spicy tofu was fresh and spicy, stimulating the taste buds; the fish-flavored pork shreds were even more delicious, making people salivate. Each dish embodied the hard work and love of Qin Huairu's parents, and made people feel the taste of home.

Everyone ate and talked, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Qin Huairu's parents praised Liu Pingan, they said gratefully: "Ping'an, thank you for always accompanying our Xiaoru, allowing her to bravely face the challenges in life. You are really a good child." Liu Pingan replied modestly: "Uncle and aunt, you are too polite. Being able to be Qin Huairu's partner is the happiest thing in my life."

Qin Huairu was moved when she heard Liu Ping'an's words. She smiled at Liu Ping'an, with happiness in her eyes. She knew that no matter how tortuous her future life would be, as long as Liu Ping'an was by her side, she would have the strongest support and the warmest harbor. At this moment, she deeply felt the warmth of home and the preciousness of family affection.

After lunch, Qin Huairu and Liu Pingan enjoyed a quiet afternoon in the courtyard of Qin Huairu's parents' home. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, forming patches of light, as if they were paintings carefully arranged by nature. They sat under the old locust tree in the yard, sipping the jasmine tea brewed by Qin Huairu's mother. The fragrance of the tea was refreshing.

Although Qin Huairu's parents were reluctant to let her go, they knew the importance of Liu Pingan and Qin Huairu's work, so they could only silently turn this reluctance into blessings. They carefully helped Liu Pingan check the equipment on the car, from the water tank to the fuel tank, from the tires to the brakes, and every detail was not missed to ensure that everything was safe. Qin Huairu's father also took out an old photo album from the house and looked through Qin Huairu's childhood photos, reminiscing and telling stories about growing up, as if he wanted to use this method to deeply imprint Qin Huairu's memory in his heart.

Finally, it was time to set off. Qin Huairu's mother hugged Qin Huairu tightly, her eyes slightly red, her voice slightly choked: "Xiaoru, be careful on the road, remember to come home often." Qin Huairu also hugged her mother tightly, feeling the warmth and reluctance from family love. Liu Ping'an was silently packing his luggage, his eyes revealed determination and responsibility, he knew that he was Qin Huairu's strongest backing.

Liu Pingan started the truck, and the roar of the engine broke the tranquility of the courtyard. Qin Huairu sat in the co-pilot seat, and the two waved goodbye to Qin Huairu's parents. Qin Huairu's parents stood at the door, watching the truck slowly drive out of Qinjia Village until it disappeared at the end of the country road.

Along the way, Liu Pingan drove the truck attentively, his hands firmly holding the steering wheel, his eyes firm and focused. Qin Huairu sat quietly by the side, looking at the scenery outside the window. The sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled on the fields, a golden color, as if it was a gift from nature to this land. The breeze blew, and the rice fields were covered with waves, like a golden ocean, shining brightly in the sun. In the distance, the mountains were continuous, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland, which made people yearn for it.

Qin Huairu was filled with emotion. Everything here was so beautiful and peaceful. She remembered when she was a child, she and her friends chased and played in this field. At that time, she was carefree and happy. Now, although life has become more complicated, with Liu Ping'an's company, she feels that she can still face everything bravely. She turned her head to look at Liu Ping'an and found that he was driving the car attentively. His resolute face looked even more handsome in the sun. A warm current surged in her heart, and she was grateful that fate allowed her to meet such a trustworthy and reliable person.

Liu Ping'an felt Qin Huairu's mood change, gently held her hand, and gave her a firm look. Qin Huairu turned to look at him, and the two smiled at each other. Without saying anything, they knew each other's intentions. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges there were ahead, as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome them.

As the truck continued to move forward, they came to one village after another. Every time they arrived at a place, Liu Pingan would carefully record the local grain situation, from the planting area to the yield forecast, from the variety selection to the market demand, he recorded them one by one. Qin Huairu helped to sort out the information, summarize and analyze the data recorded by Liu Pingan, and provide strong support for the subsequent procurement work. Although their work is hard, they are full of a sense of accomplishment when they see that they can help the villagers.

In the process, they also met many kind and honest villagers. They expressed their gratitude and respect for Liu Pingan and Qin Huairu in their own way. Some villagers would send them fruits grown at home, and some would invite them to their homes to taste authentic farm dishes. These simple actions made Liu Pingan and Qin Huairu feel unprecedented warmth and touching. They knew that although these villagers lived a simple life, their hearts were so beautiful and kind. This simplicity and enthusiasm from the countryside made them more determined to do more for this land and these honest villagers.
