Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

On a snowy night, Liu Ergou sat alone in his simple hut, looking at the dancing snow outside the window, with a fire burning in his heart. This fire was the desire for planting and breeding, and the dream of changing his life. Looking at the empty breeding and planting space, Liu Ergou was confused and wondered what to do.

Liu Ergou took out a pack of economical cigarettes, lit one and smoked it distractedly.

He knew that he couldn't go on like this, and he had to take action. So he decided to seek help from the only elder in the compound who was willing to help him - the second uncle Liu Haizhong.

Liu Ergou was so anxious and confused that he didn't know what to say, so he carried three pounds of mutton to the house of his second uncle Liu Haizhong.

The second uncle was a kind-hearted man. After listening to Liu Ergou's story, he immediately sent his two sons to help him. In this way, Liu Ergou took his two brothers and embarked on an adventurous journey to the night market.

Ergou, I'm not saying this to you, what's the use of these things? Liu Guangfu smiled and teased him.

"Brother Guangfu, it's not me who wants these things, it's a friend who wants them. I just want to have a living." Liu Ergou shook his head helplessly.

"What are you saying, Ergou? Don't bother with Guangfu. Your brothers will help you and that's all." Liu Guangtian glanced at Liu Guangfu and said indifferently.

The night market was bustling with people and all kinds of goods. Liu Ergou and his two brothers shuttled among the crowd, looking for the seeds and breeding supplies they needed. However, things were not as simple as they imagined.

Rice? An adventure on a snowy night?

On a snowy night, Liu Ergou stood in the open space at the entrance of the village, looking at the once prosperous but now deserted land, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart. He thought, if he could grow some food here, it might bring some new vitality to the village. So, he decided to find the old wise man Liu Haizhong in the village, hoping to get some food seeds from him.

After listening to Ergou's plan, Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Ergou, I'm glad you have this intention. But, you know, seeds are not easy to get. You need to go to the night market, where there are sometimes some rare seeds for sale."

After Ergou heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately went to find his good brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and the three of them went to the night market together. The night market was brightly lit, bustling with people, and full of stalls. Ergou and his friends shuttled among the crowd, looking for the seeds they needed.

Liu Guangtian is a bargaining expert. He took Ergou and Guangfu to various stalls and used his eloquence to negotiate good prices for Ergou. Liu Guangfu is a man with a unique vision. He carefully selected each seed to ensure that they were all good varieties.

After unremitting efforts, Ergou and his team finally succeeded in buying all kinds of seeds such as rice, wheat, millet, corn, pepper, cucumber, cabbage, etc. They returned home happily with a full load, and Ergou's heart was full of expectations and joy. He imagined that this vacant land would soon become a field of harvest, and everyone in the family would be able to share the joy of the harvest.

Although the whole process was full of twists and turns and challenges, Liu Ergou never gave up. He relied on his wisdom and courage to overcome numerous difficulties one by one, and finally successfully collected all the necessary seeds.

When he returned home with a full harvest, the sky was gradually getting brighter. Liu Ergou looked out the window at the sunshine, his heart full of longing and hope for the future. He knew that this was just the beginning of his planting and breeding business.

Ergou couldn't wait to plant the seeds in the space, and left the planting space with a happy heart. After a week, the seeds sprouted one after another, and the tender green sprouts brought infinite vitality to this wasteland.

As time went by, the wheat seedlings grew into golden ears of wheat, and the rice fields were all golden; the vegetables also grew well and were lush and green.

Ergou was very happy to see that his hard work had paid off. He happily took out a few cucumbers and passed them to his brothers and sisters, letting them share this hard-earned joy.

"Come on, brothers and sisters, try it. I got this with great difficulty." Ergou said proudly.

The younger brothers and sisters took the cucumbers one after another, with happy smiles on their faces. They gave Ergou a thumbs up to express their appreciation and gratitude.

Erya bit the cucumber with a big mouthful, showing a satisfied expression, and looked at her eldest brother with a smile: "Brother, can our family eat these fresh cucumbers every day? They are so delicious."

"Yeah, yeah!" The other brothers and sisters also echoed.

Daya opened her big, lively eyes and asked expectantly, "Brother, cucumbers are so delicious. Can you make some cucumber soup for lunch? You told us before that cucumber soup is so delicious."

Ergou patted his chest and assured: "Okay, no problem, I promise you, I will make sure you have enough to eat and drink. I will make you cucumber and shredded pork soup for lunch today."

Hearing this promise, the younger brothers and sisters cheered and their eyes sparkled with happiness.
