Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

Yi Zhonghai walked over to Zhou Dong and sat opposite him. "Zhou Dong, you know, drinking alone won't solve any problems." He advised, his voice full of understanding and sympathy.

Zhou Dong listened silently, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was doing this for his own good, but he could not fully understand the pain and struggle in his heart.

"I know, Teacher Yi, but I just want to be alone now." Zhou Dong sighed softly, expressing his feelings.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Zhou Dong, he could feel the pain and loneliness in Zhou Dong's heart. "Zhou Dong, you know, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you should not bear them alone. We are all neighbors, we should support each other and face the challenges of life together."

Zhou Dong felt Yi Zhonghai's sincerity and care, and the haze in his heart seemed to be dispelled by the warm sunshine. "Thank you, Teacher Yi, I will try to face it." He said gratefully, determined not to escape anymore and bravely face his heart.

"Good boy, you must be strong." Yi Zhonghai encouraged and patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder, hoping to give him some courage and confidence.

The two of them sat quietly in the yard, listening to the chirping of insects at night, feeling the warmth and support from each other. With such company, Zhou Dong's mood gradually calmed down. He understood that no matter how big the difficulties were, as long as he had the company of friends, he would not feel lonely.

"Thank you, Teacher Yi, thank you for your company." Zhou Dong looked at Yi Zhonghai deeply, his heart full of gratitude and emotion.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, "You're welcome. Neighbors should help and support each other."

The two of them continued to sit in the yard, a glass of sake, a piece of tranquility, and each other's hearts received an indescribable comfort and consolation on this night. Perhaps, the difficulties and challenges in life are not terrible, because with the company of friends, everything will become better.

Zhou Dong lay on his bed, holding his stomach with his hands, his face twisted and pale because of the severe pain. He had been enduring stomach pain for several days, and every time the pain came, it was like a sharp knife waving in his heart, making him unbearable.

"Zhou Dong, what's wrong with you? Why do you always have stomachache?" Yan Bugui asked anxiously. Looking at Zhou Dong's painful expression, his heart was full of worry.

Zhou Dong tried hard to raise his head and faced the concerned Yan Bugui. "I don't know either. Maybe I haven't eaten well recently." He whispered, trying to explain his situation.

Yan Bugui frowned. He knew Zhou Dong was not a good eater. "What have you been eating recently? Have you been eating too much free food?"

Zhou Dong was silent for a moment, recalling his recent eating habits. He found that he had indeed eaten very little recently, and most of it was some soft rice that was easy to digest.

"Maybe I eat too much soft food." He smiled bitterly, realizing that his eating habits might be the cause of his stomach pain.

Yan Bugui took a deep breath and decided to help Zhou Dong solve this problem. "Zhou Dong, you know, stomachache may be caused by improper diet. We have to find a suitable solution."

Zhou Dong nodded, his heart full of gratitude. "Thank you, Uncle Yan, I really don't know what to do." He said sincerely, hoping to get some help and advice.

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and then made a suggestion. "I think you should eat more light and easily digestible food, less greasy and spicy food, and at the same time, keep a regular schedule and maintain good living habits."

After listening to Yan Bugui's suggestion, Zhou Dong's heart moved. Perhaps he should really change his eating habits and pay attention to maintaining physical health. He looked at Yan Bugui gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Yan, I will try to do it."

Yan Bugui smiled and patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder. "You're welcome. Neighbors should help each other. As long as you pay attention to your diet and maintain good living habits, I believe your stomachache will get better soon."

As they talked, the severe pain in his stomach gradually eased. With Yan Bugui's help and advice, Zhou Dong understood his problem and decided to change his eating and living habits for his own health and to live up to the care and expectations of his neighbors. This communication and help between neighbors not only healed Zhou Dong's body, but also made his heart feel warm and cared for.

On a quiet night, Zhou Dong accidentally discovered a secret that made people gasp. He was walking in the corner of the compound, and his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the flickering light behind the window of Qin Huairu's house. Curiosity drove him to get closer and find out what was going on.

Outside the window, he saw Qin Huairu sitting alone at the table, holding a letter in her hand with a serious expression. He couldn't help but feel a little curious about what the letter was about and why Qin Huairu looked so worried.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? What's making you so worried?" Zhou Dong knocked on the window gently and asked, his heart full of concern.

Qin Huairu turned her head and saw Zhou Dong standing outside the window, revealing a hint of surprise. "Zhou Dong, why are you here?" She asked with a little embarrassment, trying to hide her emotions.

Zhou Dong looked at Qin Huairu's slightly tangled face, and his curiosity became stronger. "Auntie, I saw you holding a letter in your hand. Did something happen?" He tried to ask his question directly.

Qin Huairu was silent for a moment, then handed the letter in her hand to Zhou Dong. "This is a letter I received, and the content makes me very worried." She said softly with a serious expression.

Zhou Dong took the letter, opened it, and was immediately shocked by its contents. "What...what's going on?" He couldn't believe the words in front of him, and a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety surged in his heart.

The letter described a secret about Qin Huairu's past, a secret that had been hidden for a long time, but was actually revealed. This made Zhou Dong wonder who knew such a thing and who would deliberately reveal it.

"Zhou Dong, I really don't know what to do." Qin Huairu's voice trembled a little. She felt the fear and anxiety from the bottom of her heart.

Zhou Dong looked at Qin Huairu's anxious face, feeling helpless. "Auntie, don't worry, I will help you deal with this matter." He tried to comfort her, hoping to give Qin Huairu some courage and support.

Qin Huairu listened to Zhou Dong's words, and the anxiety in her heart gradually calmed down. "Thank you, Zhou Dong, I really appreciate your help." She looked at Zhou Dong gratefully, her eyes full of emotion and relief.

That day, Zhou Dong came back from outside. As soon as he opened the gate, he saw Qin Huairu coming over with a basin of freshly washed clothes. She saw Zhou Dong and greeted him with a smile: "Zhou Dong, you're back. It's cold outside, isn't it?"

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded, "Yes, Sister Huairu, the weather is getting colder and colder. Aren't you afraid of freezing your hands while washing clothes in such a cold weather?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. The children's clothes at home always get dirty quickly, so I have to wash them."

Zhou Dong looked at her hands, which were indeed a little red and swollen. "You should also be careful not to get frostbite." He said, helping Qin Huairu take the basin of clothes. "Here, I'll help you take it in."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked into the yard, and Liu Haizhong came to meet them. Liu Haizhong saw them and laughed, "Hey, Zhou Dong, you are such a warm-hearted guy, you can help anyone with their work."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Brother Haizhong, are you praising me or insulting me?"

Liu Haizhong patted his shoulder and said, "Of course I am praising you! You are smart and capable, and you are welcome everywhere."

Qin Huairu also agreed with a smile, "That's right, Zhou Dong has been smart since he was young, and everyone likes him."

At this time, Yan Bugui came over with a newspaper in his hand. Seeing them, he frowned and said, "You are just chatting here. The toilet in the compound is blocked again today, and no one is taking care of it."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he frowned and said, "This toilet is always blocked, which makes it inconvenient for everyone to use. We have to find a way to solve it once and for all."

Zhou Dong thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Brother Haizhong, let's work together as men to unclog the toilet thoroughly."

Yan Bugui nodded, "That's a good idea. Let's all work together to avoid further congestion."

In this way, Zhou Dong, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others took tools and started a massive operation to unclog the toilet. The children in the yard also gathered around to watch the fun, and Banggeng covered his nose and watched Zhou Dong and his friends busy.

"Is this okay?" Bang Geng questioned, "Why don't you hire a professional?"

Zhou Dong raised his head and smiled, "Boy, you don't understand. This little thing won't be difficult for us. Just wait and see."

After some effort, the toilet was finally unblocked, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui: "Okay, the problem is solved, and we should take a break."

Liu Haizhong patted his shoulder and said, "Zhou Dong, you are such a good guy. With you here, life in our courtyard is much easier."

Everyone returned to the yard together. Qin Huairu had already prepared hot tea and called them over. "Come on, everyone has worked hard. Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Zhou Dong picked up the teacup, felt the warmth of the tea, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He looked at his neighbors and sighed, "There is so much human touch in our yard. Everyone helps each other, and life is always going well."

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Yes, we are all like a family here. If anyone has difficulties, we will shoulder them together."
