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

Finally, with the parents' education and apology, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily. Zhou Dong brought Banggeng back to the courtyard. Banggeng kept his head down all the way, looking a little depressed.

"Banggeng, remember this lesson and don't fight with others again." Zhou Dong said earnestly.

Bang Geng nodded, tears in his eyes: "Uncle Zhou Dong, I understand. I will be obedient in the future and never cause trouble again."

Life in the courtyard continued, and Zhou Dong's project was progressing steadily. With the support of the municipal government, the shared electric vehicle and solar energy projects were widely recognized and promoted. Zhou Dong also became a celebrity in the community, and everyone was proud of him.

One day, Zhou Dong was busy in the yard when he suddenly received a phone call. A strange voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Zhou Dong?"

"Yes, I am." Zhou Dong replied.

"I'm a reporter from CCTV. We are very interested in your project and would like to do a special report." The other party said, "Are you available for an interview?"

Zhou Dong was very surprised. He didn't expect that his project would attract the attention of CCTV. He quickly agreed: "Of course, it's an honor."

A few days later, a reporter from CCTV came to the courtyard and interviewed Zhou Dong in detail. During the interview, Zhou Dong introduced in detail the concept, implementation process and achievements of the shared electric vehicle and solar energy projects.

After the interview, the reporter spoke highly of Zhou Dong's project and said that this special report would be broadcast nationwide. Zhou Dong was filled with pride, knowing that this was not only a recognition of him personally, but also an affirmation of the entire courtyard and community.

"Zhou Dong, you are awesome!" Qin Huairu said excitedly, "You not only helped

Zhou Dong accepted 30 yuan from the other party before deciding to withdraw the report.

Zhou Dong looked at Banggeng and his family with mixed feelings. Although he was calm, he knew that it would take strong determination and wisdom to maintain order and justice in such an environment. Banggeng had caused a lot of trouble this time, but as a neighbor, he didn't want a child's future to be ruined.

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu burst into tears, and Jia Zhangshi also changed her usual fierceness and looked miserable. Seeing this scene, Zhou Dong had already made up his mind.

"Sister Huairu, Brother Dongxu, Auntie, don't worry, I will give Banggeng a chance." Zhou Dong said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Thank you, Zhou Dong, thank you!" Qin Huairu said with a sob, almost kneeling down again.

Zhou Dong reached out and supported her. "Don't be like this, Sister Huairu. We are all family. I will definitely help you if I can."

Jia Zhang finally felt relieved, wiped the tears from her eyes, and kept saying, "Zhou Dong, you are a good person, God will bless you."

Zhou Dong nodded and said to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, I think we should just give him a warning this time to give Bang Geng a chance to mend his ways."

Uncle Li was silent for a while, then sighed: "Okay, for your sake, I'll let him go this time. But if something like this happens again in the future, it will never be resolved so easily."

After that, Uncle Li signaled the staff to bring Banggeng back. Qin Huairu hurried forward and hugged Banggeng, tears streaming down her face.

Banggeng's eyes were a little evasive. He understood that this time it was Uncle Zhou Dong who helped him.

"Uncle Zhou Dong, I will be obedient in the future and never get into trouble again." Bang Geng said in a low voice, his eyes full of shame.

Zhou Dong patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Remember this lesson, be a good person, and don't make your family worry again."

The matter finally came to an end, and Qin Huairu's family was grateful and repeatedly expressed their willingness to compensate for the losses. However, Zhou Dong had other plans in mind. He understood that such things could not be solved by compensation alone, and more in-depth measures must be taken to prevent them.

"Sister Huairu, you really need to compensate for the loss this time. My electric car is not cheap." Zhou Dong said, his tone still gentle.

"Zhou Dong, we will definitely compensate you no matter how much you say." Jia Dongxu said immediately, his eyes full of determination.

Zhou Dong pondered for a moment and said, "About thirty yuan, mainly for repair costs and damaged parts."

"Okay, okay, we'll give it to you right away." Qin Huairu quickly took out a stack of crumpled bills from her arms, carefully counted out thirty yuan and handed it to Zhou Dong.

Zhou Dong took the money and nodded: "Let's just leave it at that. I hope something like this won't happen again in the future."

Jia Zhang also forced a smile at this time: "Zhou Dong, thank you so much, Bang Geng will be obedient in the future and won't cause trouble again."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "We are all neighbors, and living in harmony is the most important thing. If you need any help, just come to me."

After the matter was resolved, life in the courtyard returned to peace. Zhou Dong knew that such things would not end easily. He had to understand the situation of each neighbor more deeply and help them solve practical problems in order to truly build a harmonious community.

A few days later, Zhou Dong was busy in the yard when he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Haizhong and Yan Jiecheng.

"Zhou Dong, are you free? We want to talk to you." Liu Haizhong said with a serious expression.

"Of course I'm free, Brother Haizhong, Brother Jiecheng, what's the matter?" Zhou Dong put down the work in his hands and walked over.

Yan Jiecheng looked around and whispered, "We heard that some people have objections to your project recently. They think that although your shared electric car and solar energy projects are good, they affect their business."

Zhou Dong frowned: "Oh? What did they say?"

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Yes, especially those small vendors who sell and repair bicycles. They think your project makes travel more convenient for everyone, but their business has been affected."

Zhou Dong understood that this was indeed a problem. He nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me. I will take care of it."

They knew that Uncle Li was powerful in the community.

Zhou Dong returned home and slaughtered the hen he had raised for half a year.

Zhou Dong returned home with a heavy heart, knowing that he had to take some action today to appease the emotions of his family and neighbors. He had raised the hen for more than half a year, and Zhou Dong always regarded it as a part of the family, but today, he had to make a decision.

"Mom, let's kill the hen today." Zhou Dong said to his busy mother.

The mother was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "This hen has been laying eggs all the time, I really can't bear to let it go."

"I know, but so many things have happened recently and everyone needs to untie the knot in their hearts. If we treat everyone well, maybe it can ease the situation." Zhou Dong explained.

Mother nodded: "You are right, Zhou Dong. Okay, then let's do as you wish."

Zhou Dong took out the knife, feeling reluctant. He stroked the hen's feathers and whispered, "I'm sorry, I need you to make a contribution to everyone today."

The hen clucked, as if she understood his intention. Zhou Dong felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he still resolutely took action.

The mother prepared seasonings and cooking utensils on the side, with mixed feelings: "Zhou Dong, you always think about everyone, but you should also think more about yourself."

"Mom, I know. As long as everyone is fine, I'm fine." Zhou Dong smiled, but he was thinking about everything that had happened recently.

A few hours later, a sumptuous meal was served. Zhou Dong invited the neighbors in the courtyard to his home for dinner. Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi, Liu Haizhong, Yan Jiecheng and others arrived one after another. When everyone smelled the fragrance, they all showed a surprised expression.

"Zhou Dong, such a sumptuous meal, what good thing happened today?" Qin Huairu asked.

"It's nothing special. It's just that everyone has been very busy recently, so I wanted to treat everyone to a good meal and chat." Zhou Dong said with a smile.

Jia Dongxu said gratefully: "Zhou Dong, you always think about everyone like this, it's really our blessing."

Jia Zhang also nodded: "Yes, Zhou Dong, no matter what happens, we support you."

Everyone sat together, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Zhou Dong began to serve food to everyone, smiling and saying, "Everyone, please feel free to eat more."

Liu Haizhong pursed his lips and said, "Zhou Dong, your electric car project has really brought a lot of convenience to everyone. We old neighbors are very grateful to you."

Yan Jiecheng also nodded: "Yes, Zhou Dong, you really thought about it this time by slaughtering a chicken to treat us."

Zhou Dong felt warm in his heart, knowing that his efforts were recognized by his neighbors. He raised his glass and said, "Everyone, thank you for your continued support and understanding. We are a big family. We solve problems together and share good things together."

Qin Huairu raised her glass with emotion: "Zhou Dong, well said, let's toast together!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and for a moment, the courtyard was filled with laughter. Zhou Dong looked at this scene, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

After dinner, everyone sat together and talked about the past. Jia Zhang mentioned some interesting things from her youth, and everyone laughed.

"Aunt Zhang, you were really a powerful figure back then." Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

"Of course." Jia Zhang said proudly, "But now I'm old, you young people are still the best."

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng with loving eyes: "Banggeng, you should learn more from Uncle Zhou Dong and be a responsible person in the future."

Bang Geng nodded and said seriously, "Mom, I will. Uncle Zhou Dong is my role model."

Zhou Dong patted Banggeng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Banggeng, study hard and contribute more to the community when you grow up."

As the night deepened, everyone gradually dispersed. Zhou Dong saw off the last neighbor and felt tired, but extremely satisfied. His mother came over and said softly, "Zhou Dong, everyone is very happy today. You did a great job."

Zhou Dong nodded and smiled tiredly: "Mom, I'm satisfied to see everyone happy."
