Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

As night fell, the outline of the courtyard gradually blurred in the night, and only the dim street lamps, like old men keeping watch, quietly illuminated this ancient land. Occasionally, one or two insect chirps came from the grass, crisp and long, intertwined with the carefree laughter of children in the distance, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this quiet night.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, after finishing the intense discussion during the day, each of them embarked on the road home with different feelings. Their steps were either brisk or heavy, but the vision and expectation for the future in their hearts were like the brightest stars in the night sky, guiding them in the direction of their progress.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, the lights in the study were already on for him. He sat at the desk, and the old desk lamp emitted a soft and dim light, which made his weathered face particularly clear. He took a deep breath, picked up a pen, and began to outline the future blueprint of the study group in his notebook. Every plan and every task embodied his hard work and wisdom. He knew that as the core of the group, he had to take on this responsibility to ensure that everyone could gain something from the training and grow together.

The tip of the pen jumped on the paper, making a rustling sound, which was the melody of hope in Yi Zhonghai's heart. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes his mouth corners raised, as if he was having a silent conversation with his future self. Finally, when the last stroke fell, he closed the notebook with satisfaction, his face filled with a smile of expectation and determination. It was a firm belief in the future and a deep understanding of himself.

He stood up and gently patted the dust off his body, as if to cheer up his determination. Then, he slowly walked to the window and looked out at the small courtyard gently covered by the moonlight. The moonlight was like water, filling every corner and also pouring into his heart. He took a deep breath, feeling the tranquility and beauty, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"You're back, Zhonghai?" A gentle and familiar voice came from the house. She was bringing out a bowl of hot noodles from the kitchen. The steam blurred her face, but warmed Yi Zhonghai's heart. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to his childhood. His mother was the same. No matter how late it was, she would always leave a light on and cook a bowl of noodles for him.

Yi Zhonghai turned his head and a bright smile appeared on his face. In that smile, there was both the warmth of returning home and the urge to share joy. "Yes, wife, I'm back. I have good news to tell you. I was selected into the technical training class today. There will be more hope for our family's life!" His voice was full of excitement and pride.

When the aunt heard this, her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously. A flower-like smile blossomed on her wrinkled face. "Really? That's great! Zhong Hai, I knew you could do it. Now that you have learned some new skills, our lives will be even better." Her tone was full of pride and satisfaction, as if she had seen a better life in the future.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Yes, wife, I will study hard and try to put the skills I have learned into practice to bring more changes to our family and our courtyard. By the way, I also thought that after I have learned something in the training class, I can also take the brothers in the courtyard to study together, so that we can make progress together." His tone was full of expectations and confidence for the future, as if he had already seen the future full of hope and light.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the aunt smiled even brighter, as if the spring sunshine filled the whole room. She gently patted the back of Yi Zhonghai's hand, her eyes full of encouragement and trust, like a warm spring breeze blowing through her heart. "Zhonghai, you are always so kind and think about everyone. It is my blessing to have a husband like you. Go ahead and do your job, I'm at home." Her words were gentle and firm, and every word was like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating Yi Zhonghai's way forward.

The night was deep, and the lights in the courtyard were dotted, like a warm and peaceful painting. Each lamp was like the brightest star in the night sky, not only illuminating the way home, but also warming every heart longing for home. At this time, Liu Haizhong finished a busy day and walked in from the yard with greasy hands, but his face was full of uncontrollable excitement. He held an old hammer tightly in his hand. It was his old partner in repairing furniture for many years, and witnessed countless days and nights of hard work and persistence. At this moment, under the reflection of the moonlight, the old hammer seemed to be coated with a layer of silver brilliance, flashing the light of hope.

"Wife, I'm back!" Liu Haizhong shouted as soon as he entered the room, with a bit of urgency and joy in his voice, as if he wanted to share this good news with his dearest one as soon as possible. Second Aunt was sitting in the main room, sewing the soles of shoes while listening to opera on the radio. The melodious tunes flowed slowly with the night, adding a bit of poetry and romance to this quiet night.

Hearing Liu Haizhong's voice, the second aunt raised her head, with a bit of curiosity and tenderness in her eyes. "Oh, why are you so happy today? Where did you get this precious furniture?" She put down her needlework, stood up to greet her husband, and said with a happy smile on her face.

Liu Haizhong laughed, walked to the second aunt, and gently patted the dust on his hands, as if to wipe away the fatigue of the day. "It's not precious furniture, it's my good news today! You know, I was selected into that technical training class, and our family will also benefit from it!" His face was filled with a childlike smile, his eyes sparkled, as excited and excited as if he had discovered a new world.

The second aunt was stunned at first, then her face blossomed with a smile, her eyes full of relief and pride. "Really? That's great! Zhonghai and the others were selected, so I knew you wouldn't be bad either. Now the opportunity has come. We must seize it and strive to learn real skills to take our lives to the next level." Her words were full of expectations and confidence for the future, as if she had already seen a better and happier picture of life.

At that moment, the couple smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and happiness spread quietly in the night. They knew that no matter how rough the road ahead was, as long as they worked together, they would be able to create a beautiful future of their own.

Liu Haizhong nodded, revealing an indescribable firmness and confidence, as if he had already drawn a blueprint for the future in his mind. "Don't worry, wife, I will study hard and live up to this rare opportunity. Moreover, I also thought that in the training class, I will not only study hard myself, but also teach the experience and skills we have gained in furniture repair over the years to other members of the group. I want to set up a special 'practical session' so that everyone can learn in practice and grow from mistakes. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth and the best way to improve skills."

After hearing this, the second aunt's eyes sparkled with admiration and pride. She reached out and gently patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder, her gesture full of trust and support for her husband. "Zhong Hai, you are such a thoughtful person, always thinking so thoroughly and comprehensively. Go ahead, do it boldly, I will take care of the family affairs, you don't have to worry. I believe that with your ability and wisdom, you will definitely do this beautifully and bring honor to our family."

The two smiled at each other, and that smile was full of tacit understanding and trust, as if at this moment, all the fatigue and difficulties disappeared. Liu Haizhong knew that he was not fighting alone, and he had the support and encouragement of his family behind him, which filled his heart with strength and hope. In this quiet night, he seemed to have seen himself and his team members exploring and growing in practice, and together drawing a beautiful picture of the future.
