Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

"Old Yi, have you heard? The drought is getting worse and worse. Even the old well in our courtyard is almost out of water." Liu Haizhong frowned, his voice filled with anxiety and helplessness. His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and nodded, his eyes full of helplessness and worry. "Yeah, when I went home last night, the faucet at home only dripped a few drops of water after turning it for a long time. How can I live like this?" His voice was low and heavy, as if he was also telling of his inner worries.

Liu Haizhong shook his head and said with regret: "Why can't God open his eyes? Our area hasn't experienced such a severe drought in many years. Life is getting harder and harder." His tone was full of helplessness about natural disasters and heartache for the plight of his fellow villagers.

At this time, several workers nearby also gathered around and joined the discussion. Their words were full of anger about the drought and sympathy for the plight of the villagers. "That's right, my family's few acres of land are about to plant corn, but there is no water. Don't you think it's anxious?" said a worker with dark skin and calloused hands. His voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness, as if he was also telling of his inner struggle.

"That's right. I heard that the children in the village have to run several miles just to get some water. That's unacceptable," another worker added, his eyes full of heartache and helplessness. His words were like a needle that deeply hurt everyone's heart.

The atmosphere in the workshop became heavy and depressing, but everyone's heart was filled with concern for the villagers and expectations for the future. They knew that as long as they united as one and worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties brought about by the drought.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and looked far out of the window, as if he was looking for the answer to his confusion in the vast sky. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his face, coating his frowning brows with a layer of light golden light. "Can our steel mill think of a solution? After all, we are a big company in this area, with certain strength and influence. We can't just watch the villagers suffer because of the lack of water." His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, full of concern and worry for the villagers.

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a ray of light in the darkness. He slapped his thigh and said in a loud voice: "Yes! We have to talk to the factory director to see if we can use the resources in our factory, such as those large equipment and professional technology, to dig a few wells for the villagers and solve this urgent problem. Our steel rolling mill has always been the pride of our place. Now that the villagers are in trouble, we have to stand up and do something practical for them!"

"Yes, yes, that's a good idea! Let's go together!" Several workers echoed, and their faces showed a long-lost light of hope, which seemed to be able to penetrate the predicament and illuminate the way forward. They gathered together and discussed it in a flurry, with determination and expectation in everyone's eyes.

Just as they were about to get up and look for the factory director, Liu Pingan happened to pass by. He heard the workers' conversation, stopped, and nodded to everyone with a warm and friendly smile that seemed to dispel all the haze. "Don't worry, I have reported this to Director Li. Director Li attaches great importance to it and has decided to organize a professional well-drilling team to help the villagers solve the water shortage problem as soon as possible." His voice was steady and powerful, and every word sounded like a resounding promise, which filled everyone's hearts with a sense of security.

"Really? That's great!" Everyone smiled happily upon hearing this. Their smiles were like flowers blooming in spring, bright and beautiful. They seemed to have seen the dawn of hope, which illuminated the way forward and warmed their hearts.

Yi Zhonghai patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder, his gratitude overflowing with words: "Ping'an, you are really the lucky star of our factory. If this thing is done, you will be the great benefactor of our courtyard! The villagers will always remember your kindness!" His voice was a little choked, it was the mixed emotions of being moved and grateful that were at work.

Liu Ping'an smiled embarrassedly, waved his hands and said modestly: "No, no, this is what I should do. Our steel rolling mill is a big family, and we should help each other. Just wait for good news, I promise that clear water will soon flow into every household in our courtyard. By then, we don't have to worry about water shortage anymore!" His eyes were firm and powerful, as if he had already seen the bright future.

After saying this, Liu Pingan turned and left with firm and powerful steps. His back looked particularly tall and majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun, like an unshakable monument, bringing endless confidence and hope to everyone. At that moment, the workers seemed to see the future of the steel mill, a beautiful picture full of love and hope, unity and strength.

As Liu Ping'an left, the workers in the workshop dispersed, but their hearts were ignited with an unprecedented fire of hope. Everyone began to talk about it, not only their admiration for Liu Ping'an and Director Li, but also their sense of belonging to the big family of the steel rolling mill and their beautiful vision for the future.

"It seems that our steel mill is really responsible!" a worker said with emotion, his voice full of pride and excitement. "I am really proud to work in such a company!"

"Yes, with leaders like Director Li and Liu Ping'an, what do we have to worry about?" another worker echoed, his face filled with a smile, which showed his infinite expectations for the future.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong smiled at each other, with the same light in their eyes - a firm belief in the future of the steel mill and the relief that the villagers' difficulties would soon be resolved. They knew that as long as everyone united and worked together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

As night fell, the workshop of the steel mill was still brightly lit. The workers worked overtime, their faces filled with unprecedented enthusiasm and energy, because they knew that every bit of their efforts was contributing to solving the water shortage problem for the villagers.

Meanwhile, in the library of the steel mill, Auntie San was still sticking to her post. She listened to the workers discussing the water shortage and the well-drilling operation that the steel mill was about to take, and her heart was filled with emotion and pride. She knew that the steel mill was not just a business, but also a big family full of love and care.

"It seems that our steel mill has done a great thing!" Auntie said to a colleague next to her, her voice full of emotion and respect. "Liu Ping'an and Director Li are really our good leaders!"

His colleagues nodded in agreement, and his eyes sparkled with admiration. "Yes, with such a leader, our steel mill will definitely get better and better! The villagers will definitely get through this difficult time!"
