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

Zhou Dong looked at Bang Geng's smile and felt happy in his heart. He knew that as long as everyone helped each other, the community would be more harmonious and beautiful.

Yi Zhonghai climbed onto the roof and slapped Banggeng twice.

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Banggeng had urinated on the roof, he was filled with anger. He could not stand the children's recklessness, let alone their uncivilized behavior. So, regardless of the consequences, he decided to take action.

Yi Zhonghai took a big step and walked straight to the neighbor's yard. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were flashing with anger. As he walked, he kept reprimanding and educating his neighbor Banggeng in his heart.

Arriving at the neighbor's yard, Yi Zhonghai looked up and saw Banggeng still standing on the roof. He couldn't help but frown, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

"Bang Geng! Come down!" Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly, with deep anger in his voice.

Bang Geng was startled when he heard the sound, and turned around to see Yi Zhonghai standing in the yard. He couldn't help but feel a little scared. He subconsciously took a step back, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"Uncle, what...what are you going to do?" Bang Geng asked stutteringly, his voice revealing fear and anxiety.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Bang Geng coldly, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction. He had already decided to severely punish Bang Geng to warn him not to make the same mistake again.

"Come down, come down!" Yi Zhonghai shouted sternly, his voice full of majesty and threat.

After hearing this, Banggeng did not dare to disobey, so he had to come down from the roof obediently and stand in front of Yi Zhonghai, with his head lowered, not daring to look up into his eyes.

"Do you know what you did wrong?" Yi Zhonghai asked coldly, his voice revealing severity and unquestionableness.

Bang Geng lowered his head and said nothing, his heart full of guilt and regret. He knew his behavior was wrong, but he didn't know how to face Yi Zhonghai's reproach and criticism.

"Why are you peeing on the roof?" Yi Zhonghai asked again, with a hint of anger in his voice.

Banggeng lowered his head, speechless. He knew that he could not find any reasonable explanation for his behavior, so he could only silently endure Yi Zhonghai's blame and rebuke.

Yi Zhonghai was even angrier when he saw that Banggeng didn't answer. He decided to teach Banggeng a lesson so that he would remember it and not make the same mistake again.

"Do you know what a serious mistake you have made?" Yi Zhonghai's voice became more and more severe. "Peeing on the roof is not only uncivilized behavior, but also brings trouble and harm to others! You must be responsible for your actions!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai raised his hand and slapped Banggeng twice. Although these two slaps were not heavy, they were full of Yi Zhonghai's anger and dissatisfaction.

Bang Geng was slapped twice and felt a sharp pain instantly. His cheeks were red from being slapped, and his heart was filled with shame and grievance. He knew he had made a mistake, but he did not expect to be punished like this.

"Uncle, I'm sorry!" Bang Geng apologized in a low voice, tears blurring his eyes, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

After hearing Banggeng's apology, Yi Zhonghai's anger subsided a little. He knew that Banggeng was a child and sometimes made mistakes, but as long as he could admit his mistakes in time, he would be forgiven.

"Remember not to make the same mistake again next time." Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply, with a hint of kindness in his voice, "Child, you must learn to respect others and be a good child who knows how to be polite."

Banggeng listened and nodded, showing his understanding and acceptance. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was doing this for his own good, so he gave him a severe education and punishment. He vowed to remember it and not make the same mistake again.

That morning, just after the sun rose, Zhou Dong rode his shiny electric bike into the gate of the courtyard. The children in the yard were immediately attracted, and they gathered around the electric bike, pointing and talking, their eyes full of curiosity and envy.

"Brother Zhou Dong, what kind of car is this? It looks really cool!" Banggeng - a naughty boy in his teens, squeezed to the front and stared at the electric car.

"This is an electric car, the latest technology product." Zhou Dong replied with a smile. As he spoke, he parked the electric car and touched Banggeng's head. "You will have a chance to ride it in the future."

Bang Geng's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly, "Electric car! Wow, that must be fast!"

"Of course it will be soon." Zhou Dong said with a smile, "But you are still young, let's talk about it when you grow up."

At this time, Qin Huairu, a gentle and beautiful woman, was walking out with a basin of washed clothes. Seeing Zhou Dong, she showed a look of surprise and joy on her face: "Oh, Zhou Dong, you're back! Where have you been these years? There has been no news from you, and we thought you forgot about us."

"Sister Huairu, how could I forget our home?" Zhou Dong walked forward with a smile and took the basin from her hand. "I went to the south these years and learned some new things. Now that I'm back, I've brought some new things to our yard."

"You are always so capable." Qin Huairu smiled and patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder. "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. Look, this courtyard is still the same as before. Everyone misses you very much."

"Yeah, I miss you all a lot, too." Zhou Dong's eyes swept across the yard gently. The familiar scene made him feel extremely warm in his heart. "By the way, Sister Huairu, is everything going well at home recently?"

"Everything is fine, everything is fine. It's just that there are a lot of trivial things to do every day, and the children are grown up, so there are more things to do." Qin Huairu said, with a trace of worry in her eyes, "But, life has to go on, what big deal can it be."

As he was talking, Yan Bugui came over from the other end. He was an old worker in his fifties, a bit stubborn, but very enthusiastic towards the people in the yard. "Zhou Dong, I heard you bought a new car, come and show it to us."

"Yes, Old Yan." Zhou Dong pointed at the electric car with a smile, "This is my new car."

Yan Bugui looked at the electric car carefully and said in amazement: "It's incredible that there are such cars now. It seems that the lives of ordinary people like us are getting better and better."

"Yes, technology is advancing very rapidly now, and our lives will definitely get better and better in the future." Zhou Dong said, but in his heart he was thinking about how to use his new knowledge and technology to bring more changes to this small courtyard.

While everyone was discussing electric cars, Yi Zhonghai, an old teacher, also came out of the room. He wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle and refined. "Zhou Dong, what are you going to do this time?"

"Teacher Yi, the main reason I came back this time is to bring back what I learned outside and see if I can come up with something new here." Zhou Dong said respectfully. Yi Zhonghai is the elder in the courtyard and everyone respects him.

"That's a good thing." Yi Zhonghai nodded, "Young people should have ideals and ambitions. As long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you will achieve something."

"Thank you, Teacher Yi. I will work hard." Zhou Dong said gratefully, his heart full of confidence in the future.

At this time, Liu Haizhong, a burly man, also came over. He was a model worker in the yard and had a generous personality. When he saw Zhou Dong coming back, he laughed loudly and said, "Zhou Dong, long time no see. Your electric bike is really a great thing. Teach me how to ride it later."

"No problem, Brother Haizhong, I'll teach you how to ride once I'm done." Zhou Dong agreed with a smile, "Anyone who is interested can come and learn."

The morning in the courtyard was particularly lively because of Zhou Dong's return. The neighbors gathered around Zhou Dong and his electric bike, talking about it in a buzzing manner, and the courtyard was filled with laughter.

At this moment, Jia Zhang, an elderly woman, poked her head out of the house and saw everyone gathered together. She couldn't help but come over. "What's all the fuss about? Zhou Dong is back? What good things did he bring back?"

"Mom, Zhou Dong brought back an electric car." Qin Huairu said with a smile, "Come and take a look."

"Electric car?" Jia Zhang squinted her eyes and looked at the brand new electric car, with a puzzled look on her face, "Can this thing run?"

"It can run, of course it can run." Zhou Dong explained with a smile, "It's powered by electricity, no need to pedal, no need to refuel, very convenient."

"It's getting more and more rare." Jia Zhang sighed, "Young people nowadays are so blessed."

Everyone was talking excitedly when they suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the courtyard gate. It turned out that the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were arguing again. They often argued over trivial matters until their faces turned red.

"You lazy idiot, you only know how to be lazy!" Liu Guangtian shouted angrily.

"You are the one who refuses to work!" Liu Guangfu fought back without giving in.

People in the yard came forward and tried to stop the fight. Zhou Dong saw this and walked over and patted the two men on the shoulders, "Guangtian, Guangfu, stop arguing. We are all neighbors. If you have anything to say, talk it out."

"Brother Zhou Dong, you don't know, he is always lazy and leaves all the work to me alone." Liu Guangtian said aggrievedly.

"You are lazy sometimes too." Liu Guangfu refused to be outdone.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Zhou Dong smiled and tried to smooth things over. "People in our courtyard should help each other and understand each other. If you have any problems, sit down and talk it out. Don't hurt the harmony."

With Zhou Dong's persuasion, the quarrel between the two brothers gradually subsided. They looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Brother Zhou Dong is right, we will cooperate well in the future."

The atmosphere in the yard became harmonious again. Zhou Dong felt everyone's enthusiasm and kindness, and he became more determined to make a career here.
