Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the quaint courtyard, and covered the courtyard carved by time with a layer of golden gauze. Liu Ergou dragged his tired body through the entire courtyard to the thatched houses in the back garden, and returned to the warm home. For him, home is not just a roof to shelter from the wind and rain, but also a harbor for the soul.

The old lady sat on the doorstep, holding a bunch of wrinkled banknotes in her hands. They were the 130 yuan compensation from the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang's mother and son. When she saw Liu Ergou coming back, her loving eyes flashed a gleam, and she handed the money to him: "Ergou, take this money. You are the oldest in the family, and grandma is old, so I'd better give it to you for safekeeping so that grandma can rest assured."

Liu Ergou took the money, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that it was not just money, but also the old lady's trust and expectations in him. He nodded, carefully put the money into his small cloth bag, and then sat next to the old lady, enjoying this peaceful evening with her.

"Grandma, don't worry, I will keep the money safe." Liu Ergou said firmly.

The old lady smiled and stroked Liu Ergou's hair: "Ergou, I know you are a sensible child. Although this money is not much, it is also our family's life-saving money. If you need money for anything, just tell me, I will agree."

Liu Ergou was touched, he knew that the old lady always loved him. He shook his head: "Grandma, I'm fine. I just thought that it would be better if we could have a bigger house. In this way, you and your sisters can live more comfortably."

The old lady sighed: "Yes, Ergou. Grandma also knows that this house is too small. However, building a house requires a lot of money, and we can't save it in a short time."

Liu Ergou was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at the old lady: "Grandma, don't worry. I will definitely find a way to earn enough money to build a big house for you and your sisters."

The old lady smiled and shook her head: "Ergou, I know you are filial. But making money is not that easy. If you have time, help me with more work, so I can be less tired."

Liu Ergou nodded. He knew the old lady was right. It was indeed not easy to make money, but he would not give up his dream. He would definitely find a way to make enough money to build a big house for his family.

As night fell, everyone in the courtyard fell into a sweet dream. Liu Ergou, however, lay in bed, tossing and turning. He remembered that he should have saved a lot during this period, so he checked the sign-in rewards during this period. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and two handsome Tibetan mastiffs appeared on the screen! He was overjoyed, and quickly followed the prompts to summon these two majestic Tibetan mastiffs from the space.

As soon as the Tibetan mastiffs appeared, they surrounded Liu Ergou, scanning the surroundings with their deep eyes, as if swearing their loyalty and bravery. Liu Ergou was excited, thinking that with the protection of these two Tibetan mastiffs, his family would be safer.

However, when his eyes fell on the 230 yuan he signed in and the 130 yuan his grandmother gave him, the joy in his heart was instantly replaced by disappointment. With an income of 10 yuan a day, when would he be able to save enough money to build a house? He had asked a construction company before, and a house covering an area of ​​3000 mu, located in the central area of ​​the capital such as Nanluoguxiang, would cost at least yuan. This number was simply an astronomical figure for him.

Liu Ergou fell into deep thought. He knew that he couldn't just give up. He had to find a way to give his family a better life. He looked at the starry sky outside the window, and an inexplicable impulse and determination surged in his heart. He decided to use his wisdom and courage to find opportunities to make money.

The next morning, Liu Ergou got up early. He decided to go to the market on Qianmen Street to see if there were any opportunities to make money. The market was bustling with people. Liu Ergou shuttled among the crowd, looking for his own opportunity.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by an old man selling handicrafts. The old man's handicrafts were exquisite and unique, attracting many people's attention. Liu Ergou's mind moved, he remembered that he also learned to make some handicrafts when he was a child. Maybe he could try to make them, maybe he could make some money.

He asked the old man for some skills and experience in making handicrafts, and then returned home to try to make them. At the beginning, his craftsmanship was not very skilled, and the handicrafts he made looked a bit rough. But he did not give up, but kept practicing and improving. He also used his own sign-in system to exchange some materials and tools for making handicrafts, making his works more exquisite and unique.

Gradually, his craftsmanship became more and more sophisticated, and the handicrafts he made became more and more exquisite. He began to sell his works at the market, but at first not many people were interested, so he felt discouraged.

But he did not lose heart, but carefully observed the market demand and constantly improved his works. Finally, a gorgeously dressed lady took a fancy to one of his handmade jewelry and bought it at a suitable price. Liu Ergou was greatly encouraged, and he worked harder to make handicrafts and established a good reputation in the market.

But the profit was not great. What's more, the street management committee no longer allowed this kind of market to exist, and Liu Ergou was confused.
