Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

As it was still morning, there were few people in the courtyard.

In addition to people going to work or school, other people also went out of the city to pick wild vegetables.

The lives of Liu Ping'an and his relatives have undergone a qualitative change, while others remain in their predicament and are unable to change.

When Liu Ping'an rode his bicycle and brought Xiaoxia back to the central courtyard, the door of Jia Zhang's house was closed.

Qin Huairu works at the steel rolling mill, Banggeng goes to school, and Jia Zhang should have taken Xiaodang to pick wild vegetables outside the mill.

But there were other people in the yard.

"Ping An, you're back. Why don't you introduce who's in the back seat of your car?"

This is Aunt Zhou in the yard. She is a famous gossipmonger in the yard and likes gossip, but she is a good person and is highly respected in the yard.

Aunt Zhou was washing clothes. When she saw Liu Ping'an come in, she asked happily.

"Aunt Zhou, this is my sister Liu Xiaoxia. She will be working at the medicinal materials wholesale station in the future, and she is staying at my house temporarily."

When Liu Ping'an saw people, he also stopped his bicycle, and Xiaoxia hurried down to say hello.

"Worker, my God, Ping An, your family is so successful."

"This girl is so pretty. You have a handsome man and a beautiful woman in your family. Xiaoxia is also a worker. I think the threshold of your house will be broken down by people."

It can be seen that Aunt Zhou really likes Xiaoxia. She keeps holding Xiaoxia's hand and praising her.

Xiaoxia was so praised that she lowered her head in embarrassment.

If Aunt Zhou didn't have a son, Liu Ping'an would have thought that she wanted to be a matchmaker for Xiaoxia.

"Xiaoxia is so pretty. I'll introduce you to someone someday."

Liu Ping'an suddenly felt unhappy. These aunties really like this. They have nothing to do and like to act as matchmakers for others.

Besides, Xiaoxia is still young, why would she act as a matchmaker?

"Aunt Zhou, I'm still young and haven't thought about blind dates yet..."

"17 is not young anymore, go on blind dates early and look at more people, so as to avoid meeting bad people later."

"Aunt Zhou, Xiaoxia just started working, so she doesn't have time for a blind date. Besides, I'm here, so even if you introduce someone to someone, they have to pass my test."

Liu Ping'an hurriedly rescued Xiaoxia, and if he continued talking, the silly girl would really agree in a daze.

How could he not realize that Xiaoxia, like his cousin Zhang Xiuli, didn't know how to say no?

Aunt Zhou looked at Xiaoxia with pity as she walked into the house, muttering, "Such a pretty girl, I have to keep a close eye on her. It seems like it's not easy to be a matchmaker. I still need to learn a lot."

Liu Ping'an parked his bicycle at the door, carried his things and took Xiaoxia into the house, and first took her into the room.

"Xiaoxia, this is your dormitory. You will live here from now on."

Xiaoxia was very satisfied. The dormitory was not small. It was even bigger than the room she and Xiaoyan lived in.

And there was an electric light hanging high above it, and that alone was enough to excite her.

"Although the city is better than the village, it's just so-so. To use the toilet here, you have to go to the public toilet outside. You have to take a bath at home or in a bathhouse outside. It's not convenient at home. I will give you bathhouse tickets in the future so you can take a bath outside."

Xiaoxia wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, she decided that it was not appropriate for men and women to have physical contact, and it would be inconvenient without a place to take a shower.

But back home, they would wipe it in their own bedrooms with basins.

"When I save enough money in the future, I will buy a courtyard house in the city and renovate it so that it will be convenient."

Xiaoxia became a little excited when she heard this.

"Brother, you want to bring parents to the city."

Seeing the little girl's excited expression, Liu Ping'an also smiled and said, "Yes, not only mom and dad, but also grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, third uncle and aunt, and Xiaoyan, Xiaoqiang, Xiaotao and Lele."

"The courtyard houses in the city are not expensive, and some private courtyard houses deep in the alleys are very large."

"But don't worry about it. I'll tell you when I'm ready."

The girl nodded vigorously, very happy. Although these words sounded more like empty talk, the person who said this was Liu Ping'an. Xiaoxia already trusted him unconditionally.

Liu Ping'an was not talking nonsense. Although he had gold bars, he had no power.

It would be bad if someone reported me then.

Once he has power, he can buy a house and take two approaches to avoid being scammed. If the other party dares to have any ideas about him, they will have to think twice.

Liu Ping'an helped Xiaoxia make the mattress and told her about the situation in the yard.

There are both good and bad people in this courtyard, but it is a bit low-level to simply use things to distinguish between good and bad people.

But he still asked Xiaoxia to pay attention to some people in the yard.

For example, Xu Damao. Liu Ping'an told Xiaoxia that if she saw someone who called himself Xu Damao or someone with a protruding face, she should ignore him.

This person is messing around everywhere and there is a high possibility that he is sick. Be careful what he says or he might infect you.

Moreover, this man is the public enemy of the courtyard. If he is beaten, don't care. Stay away from him to avoid his blood splattering on you.

There was also a woman named Jia Zhang next door to them, and his wife Qin Huairu and Xiaoxia knew each other.

But don't mess with his mother-in-law, talk less to her, and keep your distance. After all, if you are friendly to her, you will be insulted by some unknown force.

Although this group of people have a lower level of cultural literacy than Xiaoxia, it does not prevent them from being arrogant.

Just like the saying goes, you can’t wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and you can’t wake up a person who is immersed in a dream.

That's not worth it.

Xiaoxia was placing her things in the room.

Seeing this, Liu Ping'an went into the kitchen and prepared to make his delicious meal for the day.

Braised eel!

This dish is simple and delicious, and is Liu Ping'an's first choice.

Wash the eel and chop it, add minced garlic and chopped chili, stir-fry until fragrant, then add water, salt, soy sauce and simmer over high heat until the sauce thickens.

It’s that simple and so delicious with a great taste.

Liu Ping'an poured the eels into a basin and washed them. The surface of the eels was very smooth and foam would come out when washed. He had to wait until the foam was washed away before putting them into the pot.

At this time, Xiaoxia finished her work and came out to see Liu Pingan busy in the kitchen.

She came over quickly and rolled up her sleeves: "Brother, do you need my help?"

"No need... How about this, you go and light the fire."

Xiaoxia said "oh" and walked to the stove. She saw the eels in Liu Ping'an's basin and said in surprise, "Brother, where did you get these eels?"

"I bought it from a friend. Don't worry, it's delicious."

Xiaoxia curled her lips, sat in front of the stove, and picked up a match: "This yellow eel is small and has no meat. It tastes earthy and fishy. I've eaten it before."

"That's not how I cook. Just watch me and I'll show you my cooking skills."

Action speaks louder than words, Liu Ping'an wants to prove it with facts.

He picked up the cleaned eel, shook off the water, and asked Xiaoxia to heat the pot. He also took out soybean oil from the cupboard and put it in the pot.

He waited until smoke rose from the pot before he put the eel slices, minced garlic and chopped chili into the pot.

A sizzling sound was heard, and a fragrance rushed into Xiaoxia's brain, making her instantly alert.
