Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

When Liu Ping'an stepped into the house, a warm atmosphere hit him in the face. The women in the house seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. When they saw him return, they immediately gathered around him and chattered about the recruitment of workers outside the steel rolling mill.

Xiaoxia blinked her bright big eyes and said cheerfully: "Brother Ping'an, please tell us, are the recruitment conditions complicated?" Her eyes were full of curiosity and expectation.

Qin Jingru was not to be outdone, and quickly agreed, "Yes, boss, I heard from others that the recruitment conditions this time are quite relaxed. Is that true?" Her voice revealed her longing for future work.

Qin Huairu stood quietly by the side, looking at Liu Ping'an tenderly, waiting for his answer. Her eyes were shining with hope for family happiness, and she hoped that Liu Ping'an could solve this problem smoothly.

Although Xiaoyan was still a minor, she had already made up her mind. Liu Ping'an had promised to arrange a job for her, so she was not in a hurry, but only occasionally interjected a few words, showing her innocent side.

"Brother Ping'an, please tell us quickly!" Xiaoxia pulled Liu Ping'an's arm and urged him coquettishly.

Liu Pingan looked at the group of lovely women in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just ask one by one. In fact, the recruitment conditions this time are relatively loose. As long as you meet the basic requirements, you can sign up. I will learn about the specific details after work tomorrow."

Liu Pingan was surrounded by a group of women. Although he had a helpless smile on his face, he felt very warm inside. He waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry, then found a comfortable place to sit down and began to share what he saw and heard at the recruitment site. His description included not only the details of the recruitment process, but also various interesting and anecdotes, which made the women laugh happily from time to time.

"Okay, okay, stop asking questions and go prepare dinner. My stomach is growling!" As night fell, Liu Pingan felt that it was getting late, so he interrupted the women's questions. His tone revealed a doting feeling, as if he was enjoying this warm moment surrounded by his family.

The kitchen was filled with the smell of fireworks. Xiaoxia and Qin Huairu were concentrating on cutting vegetables, their movements were skillful and neat. Qin Jingru was lighting a fire and carefully adding firewood to the stove. Xiaoyan stood beside them obediently, helping her sisters pass some items from time to time. Although she was still young, she was already a very capable little helper.

"Let me help. What dishes are you going to cook?" Liu Ping'an rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, Brother Ping'an, you should sit down and rest for a while. We will take care of the work." Xiaoxia hurriedly stopped the work in her hands and said with concern, fearing that Liu Ping'an would be tired.

However, Liu Ping'an shook his head firmly and said with a smile: "It's okay, I want to help too. It's more fun to work together." As he said that, he reached out and took the kitchen knife from Qin Huairu and began to cut the vegetables skillfully.

As the kitchen knife fell rhythmically, the chopping board made a crisp "dong dong dong" sound, like a cheerful melody. The kitchen was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Xiaoxia, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru and Xiaoyan were all infected by Liu Ping'an's enthusiasm, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

After hearing what he said, the women stood up one after another. Some went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while others went to set the table. Xiaoxia smiled mischievously and said, "Brother, why are you so greedy!"

After saying that, he ran to help serve the dishes and rice, and the family began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner happily.

Qin Huairu made a naughty face at Liu Ping'an and said with a smile, "I know, Chef Liu, your dinner will be ready soon." After that, she turned around and continued to work.

Liu Pingan looked at them with a smile, feeling very warm in his heart. He felt that he should also contribute to this family, so he stood up and walked into the kitchen with brisk steps.

With Liu Ping'an's participation, dinner was quickly prepared. The family sat around the dining table, enjoying the food and this rare time of reunion.

On the other side, Xu Damao came back from the countryside, carrying a backpack on his shoulders and pushing his slightly old bicycle, and walked slowly into the yard. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, a burst of heated conversations came into his ears like a tide. The uncles and aunts sat in a group, discussing the new news of the steel mill library recruiting workers.

"Oh, isn't this Damao? Good things happened to you just after you came back!" Aunt Li was sharp-eyed and saw Xu Damao at a glance, and greeted him with a smile.

Xu Damao looked up when he heard the voice, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, which was quickly replaced by curiosity. He walked quickly towards the crowd, his ears perked up, afraid of missing any details. "The library is hiring workers? Is it true? This is a new thing!" He asked with his eyes wide open, unable to hide his excitement.

"How could it be false? Section Chief Liu Ping'an is personally in charge. He said that the conditions are relaxed and the treatment is not bad!" Uncle Wang took over the conversation and said with envy.

Xu Damao was overjoyed when he heard this. He had long been tired of the job of projectionist, which was boring and uninteresting, and he often had to face various criticisms and complaints from the villagers. He also felt that working in the workshop was too hard, working with machines every day, working himself to death, and earning little money. Now, the steel mill has opened a new position like a library, which is both relaxing and allows him to read and study. It is a godsend for him.

"I have to give it a try!" Xu Damao thought to himself, with a smug smile on his face. He looked around and found that everyone was looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for his decision.

"Hey, Damao, if you are interested, you have to sign up quickly. I heard that the number of places is limited, and you will miss it if you are late." Aunt Zhang reminded enthusiastically.

"Yes, yes, Damao, you know a lot of words and love reading. The work in the library is tailor-made for you!" Uncle Zhao also echoed.

Xu Damao was so excited by what everyone said that he nodded and agreed. He pushed his bicycle and walked home briskly, thinking about how to prepare for the interview and how to stand out among the many applicants.

"This time, I must seize this opportunity, bid farewell to the days of being a projectionist, and start a new chapter of my life!" Xu Damao muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with unprecedented firmness and determination.
