Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

The sun shines on the surface of Weiming Lake, sparkling like countless diamonds dancing. At the lakeside, Liu Rui takes Liu Ying, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiaoe to sit leisurely on folding chairs, ready to enjoy a peaceful afternoon of fishing.

Liu Rui, a young man who seems to be doing nothing but always shows extraordinary talent at critical moments, specially prepared his own secret corn kernels as bait today. He carefully sprinkled the corn kernels into the lake, hoping to attract fish.

However, his action was ridiculed by Qin Huairu: "Oh, Liu Rui, you are such a spendthrift! If you use such good corn kernels to make a nest and fail to catch any fish, you will lose a lot!"

Liu Rui just smiled and didn't respond. He knew very well that the fun of fishing was not only in the harvest, but also in the process of waiting and anticipation. He sat quietly by the lake, staring at the buoy, as if he was having a silent conversation with the lake.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the lake remained as calm as before. Liu Ying and Lou Xiao'e began to get impatient. They talked quietly and occasionally looked at Liu Rui with a hint of expectation and curiosity in their eyes.

At this moment, Liu Rui's float suddenly sank! He quickly lifted up the fishing rod, and saw a big fish leaping out of the water along with the fishing line, splashing water.

"Wow! Liu Rui, you are so amazing!" Liu Ying and Lou Xiao'e exclaimed at the same time, their eyes full of surprise and admiration.

Qin Huairu was also stunned. She didn't expect Liu Rui to actually catch a big fish with those "wasteful" corn kernels. She looked at Liu Rui's focused and confident expression, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

Liu Rui gently reeled in the fishing line and put the big fish steadily into the fish basket. He turned to look at the girls, with a smug smile on his face: "How is it? I said, use good bait, and you will naturally catch good fish."

The girls nodded in agreement, their admiration for Liu Rui was beyond words. At this moment, Liu Rui seemed to have become the god in their hearts, and his every move and every look was full of endless charm.

In the following time, Liu Rui continued to display his fishing skills. Every time he lifted the rod, he could harvest a lot of fish. The girls sat around him, sometimes amazed, sometimes laughing, enjoying this rare tranquility and joy.

A group of old men were sitting together fishing by the river, enjoying the fun of fishing and chatting. Suddenly, one of the old men's fishing rod sank suddenly, and he shouted excitedly: "It's hooked!" The other old men turned their heads and watched him slowly reel in the line, and a big fish was tumbling on the water.

At this time, Qin Huairu was also fishing nearby. When she saw the old men catching so many big fish, she was moved. She volunteered to go over and said to the old men, "These fish are really good! I can help you sell the fish, except for keeping one for myself." The old men were very happy to hear this and gave the fish they caught to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu took the fish and went to a nearby market. She found a conspicuous spot, put the fish on the ground, and began to shout: "Fresh big fish! Come and buy it!" Soon, many people gathered around and asked about the price. Qin Huairu skillfully answered their questions and bargained with them. In the end, she successfully sold all the fish, except for one to take home.

Qin Huairu took the money from selling the fish and returned to the river. She handed the money to the old men, who thanked her. Qin Huairu smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do." After that, she picked up the fish she had left and sold it with Liu Rui's fishing net for 136 yuan. She returned to Liu Rui happily and handed him the 136 yuan. Liu Rui smiled and shook his head, letting Qin Huairu take it as pocket money.

As the sun sets, the ripples on the surface of the Weiming Lake are stained with a layer of golden light, like a gorgeous painting. Liu Rui and the girls packed up their fishing gear and prepared to go home to enjoy the quiet night.

Qin Huairu happily took the stack of bills Liu Rui handed over and carefully put them in her pocket. She raised her head and her eyes met Liu Rui's, her eyes flashing with gratitude and joy.

"Thank you, Liu Rui. I will make good use of this money." Qin Huairu said with a smile, with a hint of shyness and gratitude in her voice.

Liu Rui smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness, and he responded softly: "As long as you like it, this is what you deserve. However, don't work so hard next time, it's not good to tire yourself out."

Qin Huairu nodded slightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She suddenly remembered something and turned to Liu Ying and Lou Xiao'e and said, "Why don't we have fish tonight? I'll cook and make a sumptuous dinner for everyone."

Liu Ying and Lou Xiao'e responded with expectant smiles on their faces. They knew that Qin Huairu's cooking skills were superb and she would definitely be able to make delicious dishes.

"Haha, we're in for a treat!" Liu Ying said excitedly.

"Yes, Qin Huairu's dishes must be delicious!" Lou Xiao'e agreed.

So, the group walked towards home, chatting and laughing, accompanied by the beautiful sunset. Qin Huairu wanted to show off her skills to everyone, so her steps became lighter. She was secretly thinking about how to make this dinner more delicious and how to make everyone happy and satisfied.

The sun gradually sets, and the sky is dyed orange-red, like a dreamlike picture. At this warm moment, their laughter echoes in the air, as if time has stopped. Qin Huairu, in this beautiful atmosphere, holds a grateful heart and looks forward to bringing everyone a feast for the taste buds.
