Siheyuan: Killing the gods against the will of heaven, causing great suffering to all living beings

"Haha, this is all good luck. Fishing is just like being a person. You need patience and sometimes a little luck." Han Xiaodong wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile.

This fishing trip not only allowed everyone to catch a lot of fish, but also deepened the relationship between neighbors. Han Xiaodong also found his own fun and sense of accomplishment in the process. He decided to bring everyone to fish more often in the future and make this lakeside their paradise.

After a day of fishing, everyone returned to the courtyard with a full harvest and satisfaction. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, and everyone's face was filled with smiles. Han Xiaodong looked at all this and felt extremely satisfied and happy.

However, life is always full of surprises and challenges. After returning to the yard, Han Xiaodong found that Jia Zhang's face was not looking good.

"Where have you been? You haven't been seen for the whole day! Who will do the housework?" Jia Zhang asked coldly.

"I...I went fishing and brought back some fish." Han Xiaodong explained carefully, feeling a little nervous.

"Fishing? You really know how to enjoy it! You don't care about the things at home?" Jia Zhang's voice became more and more sharp, and it was obvious that she was not satisfied with Han Xiaodong's explanation.

"I'm not always like this, I..." Han Xiaodong wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Jia Zhang.

"Forget it, I don't want to hear your explanation. Go out less and do more work in the future!" Jia Zhang said coldly and turned into the house.

Han Xiaodong stood in the yard with mixed feelings. He knew he needed to find a balance between family and hobbies and not let his family down again. He secretly made up his mind to work harder in the future, but also not give up his favorite fishing.

In the following days, Han Xiaodong began to work harder to find a job, hoping to make his family's life better. At the same time, he did not give up fishing. He would take time out every week to go fishing by the lake and bring back fresh fish to share with his family and neighbors.

One day, Han Xiaodong met a stranger by the lake. The man looked a few years older than him and was dressed simply but cleanly. As they chatted, they learned that the man was called Wang Dahai, a fisherman from a nearby village.

"Your fishing skills are pretty good. I didn't expect to meet such a skilled angler here." Wang Dahai said with a smile.

“No, no, I was just lucky.” Han Xiaodong responded modestly.

Wang Dahai looked at Han Xiaodong and seemed a little hesitant, but he finally spoke. "Actually, I have an idea. I wonder if you are interested."

"What idea?" Han Xiaodong asked curiously.

"I have a fish pond in the village. I'm planning to expand it recently, but I don't have enough manpower. I wonder if you are interested in working with us?" Wang Dahai proposed an opportunity that Han Xiaodong did not expect.

Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he could have such an opportunity while fishing. "This...can I consider it?"

"Of course, you can come to see me anytime. Our village is not far away, just across the bridge in front." Wang Dahai agreed readily.

After returning to the courtyard, Han Xiaodong told Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai about this matter, and they both thought this was a good opportunity.

"Han Xiaodong, I think this is a good opportunity and you can consider it. Haven't you always liked fishing? Now you can not only do what you like, but also make money, killing two birds with one stone." Yan Bugui suggested seriously.

"Yes, this is much better than sitting at home, you must seize this opportunity." Yi Zhonghai also encouraged.

Han Xiaodong nodded and decided to go to the village to see the specific situation.

Han Xiaodong's fish got off the hook and he was very disappointed.

In that autumn in Sijiu City, the sun was still bright, but there was a hint of coolness in the air. Han Xiaodong stood by the lake, the fishing rod in his hand trembling slightly. He could feel the force coming from the other end of the fishing line, which made him full of expectations. However, just when he was about to pull the fish up, the hook suddenly loosened, and the big fish suddenly flicked its tail and disappeared into the water.

"Ah! It's off the hook again!" Han Xiaodong slapped his thigh in frustration, his face full of disappointment and unwillingness. He had been fishing for several days in a row, but he encountered the same situation every time, which made him feel very frustrated.

Bang Geng, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes. Although he was also a little disappointed, he felt more sympathy and encouragement for Han Xiaodong. "Brother Han Xiaodong, it's okay. Try again. You will definitely succeed this time!"

Han Xiaodong smiled bitterly and nodded. "Bang Geng, you're right. How can we know the result if we don't try?" After saying that, he rearranged the fishhook and prepared to try again.

At this time, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui also came over. They had just caught a nice carp. When they saw Han Xiaodong's expression, they immediately understood what had happened.

"Han Xiaodong, don't be discouraged. Fishing is like this. Sometimes you need more patience and luck." Yan Bugui patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Yes, Brother Han Xiaodong, your skills are so good, you will definitely catch a big fish next time." Liu Haizhong also comforted him with a smile.

Han Xiaodong took a deep breath and forced himself to cheer up. "Thank you, I will continue to work hard."

While they were chatting, a familiar figure came over. It turned out to be Qin Huairu, who was holding a basket filled with fresh vegetables. "You grown men are fishing here, I'm here to bring you some food, don't starve."

"Thank you, Sister Huairu. I'm really sorry to bother you." Han Xiaodong took the basket and said gratefully.

"You're welcome. We're all neighbors. Besides, you'll share some of the fish you catch with us, right?" Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Bang Geng's eyes lit up as he looked at the vegetables in the basket. "Mom, these vegetables look so fresh!"

Qin Huairu touched Banggeng's head and said with a smile, "Yes, they are all freshly picked. When you finish fishing, we will go back and make a delicious meal together."

With Qin Huairu's encouragement, Han Xiaodong regained his spirits and cast out his fishing line again, his eyes full of determination. The lake was sparkling, and the sun shone through the leaves onto the water, as if cheering him on.

A few minutes later, Han Xiaodong's fishing rod trembled again, this time with greater force. He knew it might be a bigger fish. He calmed down and began to slowly reel in the line. The fish struggled desperately in the water, but Han Xiaodong did not relax and pulled it closer to the shore step by step.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, you will definitely succeed this time!" Bang Geng clenched his fists nervously and cheered for Han Xiaodong.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were also watching closely, fearing that another accident like the one just now would happen. Qin Huairu took out a towel, ready to help at any time.

Finally, the fish came out of the water. It was a big carp weighing five kilograms! Han Xiaodong held the fishing rod tightly, feeling a sense of accomplishment and joy. He pulled hard and the fish was finally successfully caught on the shore. Everyone cheered.

"Success! Brother Han Xiaodong, you are so awesome!" Banggeng jumped up excitedly.

"This fish is really big, Han Xiaodong, you have done a great job this time." Yan Bugui said with a smile.

"Yes, now we have a good meal tonight." Liu Haizhong said happily.

Han Xiaodong looked at the big carp in his hand, and the sense of loss in his heart was swept away, replaced by a full sense of accomplishment. He knew that fishing is not only a hobby, but also a process of tempering one's character and patience.

"Thank you all for your support. I am really lucky this time." Han Xiaodong said with a smile, his eyes full of joy.

Back at the courtyard, everyone started to get busy preparing a sumptuous dinner. Qin Huairu was in charge of cooking the fish. With her superb cooking skills, she quickly cleaned the big carp. Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong helped wash the vegetables, and Banggeng assisted on the side. The whole courtyard was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

When Jia Zhang saw the big fish Han Xiaodong had caught, her face became much better. "Han Xiaodong, you did a good job this time. It's finally useful."

"Thank you, wife. I will work harder in the future." Han Xiaodong responded with a smile. He knew that he had to find a balance between family and hobbies to satisfy both his family and himself.

At dinner, everyone sat together and enjoyed the sumptuous fish feast. Han Xiaodong looked at the smiles on everyone's faces and felt extremely satisfied. He knew that although life was full of challenges and difficulties, as long as he worked hard, he would be able to find his own happiness and achievements.

As the night deepened, the courtyard gradually became quiet. Han Xiaodong lay on the bed, thinking back to today, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but he was ready to face all challenges and difficulties.

The next morning, Han Xiaodong was awakened by a knock on the door. He opened the door and found Yan Jiecheng standing outside, looking a little anxious.

"Han Xiaodong, hurry up, something happened!" Yan Jiecheng said anxiously.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Han Xiaodong quickly put on his clothes and followed Yan Jiecheng out of the room.

"It's a deaf old lady. She fell last night and is not in good condition now." Yan Jiecheng explained with a look of worry on his face.

Han Xiaodong's heart tightened. The deaf old lady was an old lady in the yard, and everyone cared about her. They rushed to the deaf old lady's room and found her lying on the bed, her face pale.

"Old lady, how do you feel?" Han Xiaodong asked with concern.

The deaf old lady opened her eyes and smiled weakly. "It's okay, I'm just old and my bones are not strong enough."

Han Xiaodong knew the situation was not good, so he turned to Yan Jiecheng and said, "Let's take the old lady to the hospital quickly. She needs a checkup."

Everyone helped the deaf old lady onto a stretcher and sent her to the hospital. In the hospital, the doctor said that the old lady had broken her leg and needed to rest for a while.

Han Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, at least she was not seriously injured. He knew that he and his neighbors would have to take better care of her so that she could recover in peace.
