Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

When they slowly walked to the familiar and warm threshold of Liu Ping'an's home, the last rays of sunset had quietly disappeared below the horizon, and the whole world seemed to be gently shrouded in a layer of light twilight. However, in this quiet and slightly cool evening, the lanterns hanging high on both sides of the door were lit up at the right time. The soft and warm light penetrated the thin night, like the embrace of home, gently embracing every soul who was eager to return home, as if silently saying: "Welcome home, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Daniu, this young man who is always full of energy and enthusiasm, put down the heavy package on his shoulders naturally when he stepped over the threshold. The package was filled with the fruits of their day's work. He cleared his throat and shouted in his deep and slightly mischievous voice: "Sister-in-law, Brother Ping An is back! Look, we are back with a lot of stuff this time. Come and help us, there are so many things that the door is almost blocked!"

Liu Ping'an's brother and sister-in-law, a couple who always silently contribute to the family, walked out of the house almost at the same time after hearing Wang Daniu's call, their faces full of anticipation and joy for the return of their loved ones. When their eyes touched the piles of large and small bags at the door, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, with a flash of surprise and confusion in their eyes. Brother Liu Dazhuang couldn't wait to take a few steps forward, while extending his hand to help unload, and asked in surprise: "Ping'an, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly buy so many things? Tell me quickly, what are these treasures?"

Wang Daniu saw this and a smug smile appeared on his face. He handed the package in his hand to Liu Dazhuang carefully, and excitedly recounted their extraordinary experience today: "Oh, brother, you don't know, we experienced a unique adventure today! First, we went to the clear river at the head of the village, and cast a net. Hey, the fish jumped into the net as if they were free. We had a great harvest! Then, we took these fresh fish to the market, and guess what? The fish were sold out as soon as they were put on the stall, and we made a lot of money! Later, we went to the supply and marketing cooperative, picked and chose, and bought a lot of things. Look, this is sweet candy prepared for nephews and nieces, which is guaranteed to make them happy; this is dry firewood for the family, which we rely on for heating in winter; and these fine cloths and daily necessities are all carefully selected by Brother Ping An, and each one shows our thoughts!"

Liu Ping'an's brother and sister-in-law smiled more and more brightly as they listened to Wang Daniu's detailed description, which was a kind of satisfaction and pride from the bottom of their hearts. They knew very well that behind these seemingly ordinary items, there were countless sweat and efforts of their brother and friends, and it was also a vivid embodiment of their deep friendship and mutual support.

Liu Ping'an smiled and gently handed the last package in his hand to his sister-in-law. His eyes were full of tenderness and determination: "Sister-in-law, these are the results of our joint efforts today. Although the quantity is small and the value is not high, every penny is earned by our sweat and wisdom. I hope that these small gifts can make our home warmer and more beautiful. After all, the happiness of a family does not lie in the abundance of material things, but in the satisfaction of the soul and the warmth of reunion."

The sister-in-law took the package, her eyes slightly reddened, those were tears of being touched and happy. She gently patted Liu Ping'an's shoulder, her voice soft and full of love: "Ping'an, you have really grown up and become sensible. Sister-in-law has always known that you are a good child who is responsible and willing to endure hardships. We have seen everything you have done, and it hurts in our hearts. Remember, as long as you can be healthy and happy, the family will never lack anything. Because, with you, the family has the most precious wealth."

After that, the sister-in-law began to get busy, sorting the items one by one. Liu Ping'an and his brother also joined in. Together, they piled firewood in the yard and took cloth and daily necessities into the house and arranged them. The whole house was filled with laughter and a busy atmosphere.

At dinner time, the family sat together, with the table full of sumptuous dishes. Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu talked about their experiences and observations of the day, and the family listened with great interest, laughing from time to time. This meal was not just an ordinary dinner, but also a time for emotional communication and sharing among family members.

After dinner, Liu Pingan and Wang Daniu sat in the yard, looking up at the starry sky. Their hearts were filled with longing and expectation for the future. Liu Pingan said softly, "Daniu, thank you so much today. If you hadn't accompanied me to go fishing and sell fish, I might not have such a big harvest."

Wang Daniu smiled and shook his head: "Brother Ping'an, you are being polite. We are brothers, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Besides, I also learned a lot today, such as your persistence and hard work, which are all things I need to learn."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of tacit understanding and determination. They knew that as long as they worked hand in hand and together, the road ahead would be broader and broader.

As the night deepened, Liu Ping'an and Wang Daniu went back to their rooms to rest. Lying on the bed, Liu Ping'an recalled his experience today, and his heart was filled with gratitude and satisfaction. He knew that these gains were not only material, but also spiritual. He was grateful to the kind people who gave them help and support, and also grateful to himself and his friends for their unremitting efforts and persistence.

In this quiet night, Liu Pingan fell asleep with a beautiful vision of the future. He dreamed that he and his family were laughing and living in a warm home; he dreamed that he and Wang Daniu were working hard in the fields and harvesting; he dreamed that they had gone through countless springs, summers, autumns and winters together and welcomed a better future together.

On this cold winter night, Liu Ping'an's home became warmer and more beautiful because of the warmth and strength from the bottom of his heart. They know that as long as they have love, dreams, persistence and hard work in their hearts, they will be able to create their own happiness and beauty.
