Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Some fish jumped out of the water and landed on the nearby ice. They jumped on the ice and struggled constantly, trying to escape from this strange environment and return to the familiar and warm water. Liu Ping'an was quick-witted and rushed forward like a cheetah catching its prey, accurately catching them one by one. And those fish that jumped higher even passed over their heads, as if challenging their abilities. The two had to follow the fish's jumping trajectory, running all the way, sometimes bending over, sometimes jumping, and it took a lot of effort to catch these naughty fish one by one. The scene was tense and exciting, full of laughter.

However, not all fish are so easy to deal with. Some cunning guys will use the ice holes as cover, hiding inside and refusing to come out, just like playing a game of hide-and-seek. Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu had to be patient and carefully use the net bag to test around the ice holes, slowly forcing them out of their hiding places, and then capture them in one fell swoop. Although the process is difficult, every time they see one fish after another being successfully caught in the net, their hearts are filled with a sense of accomplishment.

After an intense and fun fishing, the two people's buckets were finally filled with lively fish, which swam happily in the water, as if celebrating their new life. Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu stood on the ice panting, with satisfied smiles on their faces, which was the joy of harvesting through hard work. At this time, their heads were covered with crystal sweat beads, shining brightly in the winter sun; their cheeks and hands were frozen red, like maple leaves blown by the cold wind, but their hearts were as if illuminated by the warm sun, full of warmth and happiness.

"Ping'an, your trick is really great! We have gained a lot today!" Wang Daniu wiped the sweat from his forehead excitedly, his face full of smiles, his eyes sparkling with admiration and gratitude for Liu Ping'an.

Liu Ping'an responded with a smile: "Haha, it's just luck. But this time we have returned with a full load! When we get home and clean up the fish properly, these fish can become a sumptuous dinner." His tone was full of pride and satisfaction.

The two of them smiled happily and enjoyed the hard-earned results together. Although they were physically exhausted, their hearts were full of happiness and satisfaction. Liu Ping'an knew what these fish meant to his family. They could not only solve the family's urgent needs, but also allow his family to have a delicious fish dinner. So he decided to take these fresh fish directly to the market to exchange for money so as to solve the difficulties at home as soon as possible. He called Wang Daniu, who was familiar with the market, and the two of them set out on the journey to the market side by side, with their hearts full of expectations and hopes for the future.

The weather was extremely cold and the ground was wet, so one could easily slip if not careful. But Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu did not back down. They walked carefully on the slippery road, one step deep and one step shallow, with their hearts full of longing for the future.

After some effort, the two finally arrived at the bustling market. It was crowded and lively, with all kinds of stalls and hawking sounds. Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu found a conspicuous position, squatted down, put the bucket full of fish in front of them, and started shouting loudly.

"Fresh river fish, just caught, fat and beautiful, come and have a look!" Liu Ping'an's voice was loud and powerful, attracting many people's attention. People gathered around and looked at the fish in the bucket curiously. Some asked about the price, while others picked up the fish and observed them carefully. Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu enthusiastically introduced their fish to everyone, their faces filled with confidence and joy.

When Wang Daniu saw someone asking the price, he echoed, "Yes, yes, this fish was caught by us from the frozen river with great effort. It is absolutely fresh. Come and take a look!" His voice was loud and enthusiastic, which immediately attracted more people's attention.

Soon, several onlookers squatted down to carefully examine their fish. One of the aunties pointed at a big fish and asked, "How much is this fish?" Her eyes revealed her love for the fish.

Liu Ping'an smiled and replied enthusiastically: "Auntie, look how fresh this fish is! And the price is very affordable. Look at this big fish, it's not only big in size, but also tender and juicy. Such good quality, but only 20 cents a pound!" His words were full of temptation, which made people unable to help but be moved.

After hearing what Liu Ping'an said, the aunt nodded to show her satisfaction and said, "Well, the price is quite good. Then I'll take two!" As she said that, she picked out two big fish and put them on the ground.

Liu Pingan quickly picked up the scale, weighed the fish skillfully, strung them together with straw ropes, and handed them to the aunt. The aunt took the fish, paid for it, and left with satisfaction.

In this way, their first transaction was successfully completed. Liu Pingan and Wang Daniu were very happy because their efforts finally paid off. Then, several more customers were attracted by their fish and came to ask about the price and buy.

Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu were busy weighing and collecting money while greeting new customers and introducing their fish. Their faces were filled with smiles and their hearts were filled with joy and satisfaction. Despite the cold weather, their enthusiasm made the whole market lively and warm.

As time went by, the fish in the bucket gradually decreased, while their purses gradually became fatter. Liu Ping'an looked at the heavy copper coins in his hand, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and joy. He knew that this money could not only buy much-needed firewood and cloth for his family, but also pay off part of his debts, bringing him one step closer to starting a new life.

Every successful transaction is an affirmation of his efforts and an important step towards a new life. He carefully puts the copper coins into his pocket, feeling the warmth and hope they bring. This is not just money, but also a testimony of his struggle and the source of motivation for him to persevere.

Finally, when the last fish was sold, Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu smiled at each other, and both felt a sense of accomplishment and joy.
