"I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to support you, so this is the only way." Zhou Dong's voice trembled a little. He knew that this was a painful decision, but it was made to protect himself and his family.

He slaughtered the hens one by one, and the atmosphere in the yard became more and more solemn. Every action made him feel like a knife cutting his heart, but he knew that this was a responsibility and obligation that could not be avoided.

After killing the last hen, Zhou Dong's body trembled, and he felt a great exhaustion and sadness. He knew that this moment would become an eternal pain in his heart.

He sat in the middle of the yard and closed his eyes, his heart filled with endless sadness and pain. He knew that this decision would affect his whole life, but he could not escape the responsibility and commitment.

After a long time, Zhou Dong slowly stood up and wiped the tears from his face. He knew that life had to go on and he had to face the challenges and difficulties that would come next.

The aroma of Zhou Dong's old hen soup spread throughout the courtyard, and everyone was envious.

Zhou Dong was cooking old hen soup in a casserole. The rich aroma filled the courtyard, as if a warm force was spreading to every corner.

"Wow, what delicious food did Brother Zhou Dong make this time? I'm almost dying of cravings!" A smile appeared on Yi Zhonghai's lips, his appetite already whetted by the aroma.

Zhou Dong stood by the stove, stirring the chicken soup in the casserole, his heart full of satisfaction and pride. He knew that this was the first time he had cooked the old hen soup by himself, and it was also his attitude and love for life.

"Brother Zhou Dong, you have to leave some for us to try this time!" Liu Haizhong said to Zhou Dong with a smile. His appetite had already been aroused by the aroma and he could no longer suppress it.

Zhou Dong listened to Liu Haizhong's words, smiled and nodded. He knew that the old hen soup was ready, and now it was time to share this delicious food with everyone.

"Of course, I put my heart and soul into it this time. I must let everyone taste my craftsmanship!" Zhou Dong's voice revealed a hint of pride and anticipation. He was looking forward to everyone tasting his kindness and the fruits of his labor.

The neighbors in the yard smelled the aroma of the chicken soup and came over one after another, their eyes sparkling with desire, looking forward to tasting this delicious food.

"Wow, this fragrance is so tempting! Brother Zhou Dong, you have to save some for us to taste this time!" Jia Dongxu said to Zhou Dong with a smile, his mouth already starting to drool.

Zhou Dong smiled and said to everyone: "Don't worry, I have prepared it a long time ago, and I will definitely leave some for everyone!"

Everyone smiled when they heard this. They knew that Zhou Dong was a kind-hearted and helpful person who would not hesitate to share food with everyone.

After a while, Zhou Dong brought out the old hen soup in the casserole. The rich aroma made everyone salivate. They couldn't wait to pick up their bowls and chopsticks and start to taste this delicacy.

"Wow, this soup is so delicious! Brother Zhou Dong, your cooking skills are getting better and better!" Liu Guangtian took a sip and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Zhou Dong was filled with joy when he heard Liu Guangtian's praise. He knew that the fruits of his labor were recognized and affirmed by everyone, which was the greatest encouragement and support for him.

"Haha, I just did this on a whim. I'm glad you all like it." Zhou Dong smiled modestly. He did not become proud and complacent because of the praise, but worked harder to pursue higher levels.

Everyone sat together, tasting the old hen soup cooked by Zhou Dong, enjoying the warmth and happiness of the reunion. Their laughter echoed in the courtyard, like a cheerful piece of music, making ordinary life more beautiful and happy.

Zhou Dong suddenly smelled an unusual smell.

In the courtyard, Zhou Dong suddenly smelled an unusual smell. Different from the usual food aroma, it was more like a pungent burnt smell.

"Hey, what's that smell? Why is it so pungent?" Zhou Dong frowned, his keen sense of smell captured the unusual smell.

Qin Huairu also smelled the unusual smell, her face turned pale, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart. She knew that this smell was unusual and might mean danger.

"Brother Zhou Dong, this...did something happen?" Qin Huairu looked at Zhou Dong nervously, her voice carrying a hint of panic and anxiety, and she was extremely worried.

Zhou Dong took a deep breath and became nervous. He knew that this unusual smell meant that there might be a fire or other dangerous situation, and he had to take action in time.

"Let's go and take a look, otherwise something might happen!" There was a sense of urgency in Zhou Dong's voice. He immediately walked out of the yard, and Qin Huairu followed closely behind him.

Outside the yard, thick smoke was rolling in and flames were flickering in the distance. Zhou Dong's heart tightened and he immediately quickened his pace. He knew that he had to rescue people in time.

"Hurry, we have to go and see what happened!" Zhou Dong said to Qin Huairu anxiously. There was a sense of urgency in his voice. He didn't dare to imagine the impact of a fire on the compound.

Qin Huairu felt nervous and panicked after hearing Zhou Dong's words. She knew that this was a critical moment and she had to respond calmly and not lose her mind because of panic.

The two quickly rushed to the outside of the yard, only to see the neighbors looking around for the source of the anomaly. Their faces were filled with anxiety and tension, and everyone was trying their best to find possible clues.

"Everyone, hurry up, we have to find the source of the fire!" Zhou Dong shouted loudly, his voice was full of orders and commands. He knew that now everyone must be organized to act together in an orderly manner.

After hearing Zhou Dong's cry, everyone immediately sped up the search. They dispersed and looked for possible clues everywhere, hoping to find the source of the fire as soon as possible and put it out in time.

"Brother Zhou Dong, there seems to be a fire over there!" Jia Dongxu said, pointing to the distance. There was a hint of fear in his voice and he was very worried.

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Zhou Dong immediately rushed towards the direction of the fire. He knew that he had to find the source of the fire as soon as possible and take effective measures to prevent the situation from getting worse.

The flames became more and more obvious, and the thick smoke rolled in. The scene was very shocking. Zhou Dong's heart tightened, and he immediately took countermeasures and led everyone to work hard to put out the fire.

"Hurry up, everyone, get some water and wet towels! Let's put out the fire together!" Zhou Dong shouted loudly. His voice was full of leadership and command. He knew that now everyone must be organized to act together in an orderly manner.

After hearing Zhou Dong's cry, everyone took action immediately. They picked up buckets and wet towels and tried their best to put out the fire, hoping to put it out as soon as possible.

After everyone's joint efforts, the fire was finally brought under control. Zhou Dong and the others stood at the fire scene, sweaty and exhausted, but full of a sense of accomplishment and pride.

"Thank you all for your help. If it weren't for you, we might have suffered even greater losses." Zhou Dong looked at everyone deeply, his voice revealing a sense of gratitude. He knew that without everyone's cooperation and efforts, this crisis could not be resolved.

Everyone smiled after hearing Zhou Dong's words. They knew that as long as they united as one and faced difficulties together, any problem could be solved and any crisis could be resolved.

After hearing some rustling, I realized that it was Banggen who had urinated on the roof and into the chimney.

The rustling sound broke the tranquility of the courtyard. Zhou Dong raised his head and frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and puzzlement. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Banggeng standing on the roof, holding a urinal and peeing.

"What's that sound? Who is doing what?" Liu Haizhong raised his head and looked around vigilantly. His voice revealed a hint of nervousness and vigilance. He knew that this rustling sound was not unusual.

"Oh, what's going on?" Qin Huairu looked at the scene on the roof in surprise. Her face was full of confusion and bewilderment. She totally couldn't understand why this situation had occurred.

Zhou Dong was also puzzled after hearing what Qin Huairu said. He knew that Bang Geng was a weird and eccentric person, but he didn't expect him to do such an indecent act.

"Could it be that Banggeng is doing something?" Yi Zhonghai frowned, his voice revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and anger. He could not accept such bad behavior, he felt it was an insult to the entire compound.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the scene on the roof. They didn't know how to deal with this emergency. This indecent behavior not only destroyed the environment of the courtyard, but also affected the lives of the residents. Action must be taken to stop it.

"This behavior is simply abominable! We must take action and not let him act recklessly!" Jia Dongxu said angrily, his voice full of anger and dissatisfaction, and he was determined to speak up for the interests of the residents.

Zhou Dong took a deep breath, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. He knew that this vile behavior was not only an insult to the entire compound, but also a provocation to him personally, and he was determined to take action to stop it.

"We must take action and not let him act recklessly!" Zhou Dong's voice was cold and firm. He knew that now was the time to stand up and speak for everyone. This kind of bad behavior must not be allowed to continue.

After hearing Zhou Dong's words, everyone expressed their support. They knew that it was time to unite and face this problem together, and not let one person's bad behavior affect the interests and reputation of the entire compound.
