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

The next morning, Zhou Dong got up early again and started to get busy. He knew that although the gathering yesterday had eased everyone's emotions, more work needed to be done to truly maintain the harmony of the community.

At this time, Yan Bugui came over, his face a little solemn: "Zhou Dong, there is something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter, Uncle Yan?" Zhou Dong stopped what he was doing and asked seriously.

"I heard that some outsiders have been coming here recently. I don't know what their intentions are." Yan Bugui said with a frown.

"Outsiders?" Zhou Dong's heart tightened. "Did they do anything unusual?"

"Not yet, but I think we have to be careful. After all, we have a lot of important projects here." Yan Bugui reminded.

Zhou Dong nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Yan. I will pay attention to it."

In the next few days, Zhou Dong stepped up patrols around the courtyard to ensure that no suspicious people got in. He also kept in close contact with Mr. Li from the subdistrict office and reported the situation in a timely manner.

One day, Zhou Dong was on patrol when he saw a few strangers wandering at the entrance of the courtyard. He became alert and walked up to them, pretending to ask casually, "What are you looking for?"

One of the tall men looked at Zhou Dong and said with a smile: "We are from other places. We heard that there is a shared electric vehicle project here, and we want to come and take a look."

Zhou Dong smiled slightly, but he became more alert in his heart: "So that's how it is. Our project is indeed good. However, this is a residential area, and outsiders must obtain approval from the street office to come in."

The tall man nodded: "Oh, I see. Then let's go to the street office and ask. Thank you."

Zhou Dong still felt uneasy watching the backs of the people leaving. He felt that these people had unclear intentions and he had to pay more attention to them.

A few days later, Zhou Dong received a call from the subdistrict office. Uncle Li told him that those outsiders were reporters who came to investigate and had no bad intentions. This made Zhou Dong feel a little relieved, but he still remained alert.

That evening, Zhou Dong returned home. His mother came up to him with a worried look on her face: "Zhou Dong, why are you so busy lately? Are you in any trouble?"

Zhou Dong smiled and comforted his mother: "It's okay, Mom. It's just a few small problems. I will take care of it."

The mother nodded and said, "You always take on everything by yourself and tell everyone about any difficulties you have."

"I know, Mom." Zhou Dong patted his mother's hand, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Late at night, Zhou Dong lay in bed, thinking a lot. He knew that the road ahead was still full of challenges, but he believed that as long as everyone worked together, all problems could be solved.

The next morning, Zhou Dong got up early again and started working. He decided to further promote the project so that more people can benefit. Zhou Dong went to the street office and found Uncle Li to discuss the next plan in detail.

"Uncle Li, our project has been promoted in the community, but there are still many details that need to be improved," said Zhou Dong.

Uncle Li nodded: "Yes, Zhou Dong, we all support you. What are your plans?"

Zhou Dong took out a detailed plan: "I plan to add a maintenance point at each shared electric vehicle station and set up several charging stations, so that it will be convenient for everyone to use."

Uncle Li looked at the schedule and nodded with satisfaction: "Good idea, this will not only make things convenient for everyone, but also increase the utilization rate of electric vehicles."

“By the way, I also want to organize some lectures in the community to teach people how to use and maintain electric vehicles correctly,” Zhou Dong continued.

Uncle Li smiled and said, "You really have good intentions, Zhou Dong. We will definitely support you with all our strength."

In the following days, Zhou Dong and the staff of the subdistrict office were busy setting up maintenance points and charging stations and organizing several lectures. The community residents responded enthusiastically and expressed their gratitude.

One day, after a lecture, Zhou Dong saw Qin Huairu coming towards him with a grateful smile on her face.

"Zhou Dong, you have done so much for everyone. We don't know how to thank you." Qin Huairu said.

"Sister Huairu, you're welcome. This is what I should do." Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Everyone is doing well, that's the real good."

"By the way, Zhou Dong, I have a small request." Qin Huairu said a little embarrassedly.

"What's the matter, Sister Huairu? Just tell me if I can help." Zhou Dong said.

"It's like this, my dog ​​Bang Geng has been very interested in electric cars recently, but he is still young and I am afraid he will break it. Could you please help teach him how to use it?" Qin Huairu said.

Zhou Dong smiled

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

Zhou Dong's old hen soup was slowly stewing in the pot, and the fragrance gradually spread, filling the entire courtyard with a rich aroma. Neighbors smelled the tempting smell and involuntarily walked out of their homes to inquire about each other.

While Qin Huairu was busy cleaning the house, she said to Jia Dongxu, "Did you smell it? The chicken soup at Zhou Dong's house is so fragrant."

Jia Dongxu nodded: "Yes, the soup made from old hens is nutritious and delicious. Zhou Dong really knows how to enjoy himself."

At this time, Yan Jiecheng also came out and said to everyone in the yard: "Zhou Dong's chicken soup smells really good! I wonder what good thing he has today, so it's so rich."

Liu Haizhong also came over and said, "How about we go and take a look together and get a bowl of soup?"

"What you said is right. Zhou Dong is such a good person, he definitely wouldn't be stingy." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

So, everyone went to Zhou Dong's house. Zhou Dong just came out of the kitchen with a big pot of chicken soup. Seeing everyone coming, he couldn't help but smile: "Hello everyone, today this pot of chicken soup is to thank you for your support and help. Come on, let's try it together."

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up: "Zhou Dong, you are so polite! We didn't help much, but you have been worrying about everyone."

Zhou Dong smiled slightly: "Sister Huairu, your support is the greatest help to me."

Yan Jiecheng smelled the aroma of the chicken soup and exclaimed: "Zhou Dong, the aroma of this chicken soup is absolutely amazing. Can I have a taste?"

"Of course." Zhou Dong replied enthusiastically, "Everyone come and try it. I prepared this old hen specially for you."

While wiping her tears, Jia Zhang said, "Zhou Dong, you are such a good person. It is a blessing for our Banggeng to have a neighbor like you."

Zhou Dong smiled and shook his head: "Aunt Zhang, you are too kind. We are all neighbors, and we should care about each other."

Everyone sat in Zhou Dong's yard, and Zhou Dong served everyone a bowl of chicken soup. The aroma of the chicken soup became more intense, and everyone drank it with relish.

Liu Haizhong took a sip of the soup and praised: "Zhou Dong, your chicken soup is really well stewed. The meat is tender and the soup is rich in flavor. It's absolutely amazing!"

Yan Jiecheng also nodded: "Yes, Zhou Dong, your cooking skills are really good."

Qin Huairu drank the soup and said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, you are such a meticulous person. You are so particular even when cooking."

Zhou Dong smiled slightly, but his heart was full of satisfaction. He knew that this was not just a pot of chicken soup, but also an emotional exchange between neighbors.

"As long as everyone likes it," Zhou Dong said, "If you need any help in the future, just come to me."

Everyone nodded, their hearts full of gratitude and admiration for Zhou Dong. The atmosphere in the courtyard became more warm and harmonious in the aroma of the pot of chicken soup.

A few days later, Zhou Dong was sorting out some materials at home when he heard a commotion in the yard. He went out and saw that Banggeng and some of his friends were arguing about something.

"Banggeng, what's wrong?" Zhou Dong asked.

Bang Geng saw Zhou Dong and immediately ran over, looking aggrieved: "Uncle Zhou Dong, they said I don't know how to ride an electric bike."

Zhou Dong smiled slightly and patted Bang Geng's shoulder: "Don't worry, come, I'll teach you how to ride."

Bang Geng's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou Dong expectantly: "Really? Uncle Zhou Dong, are you willing to teach me?"

"Of course." Zhou Dong nodded. "Riding an electric bike requires some skills. I will teach you step by step."

Zhou Dong brought Banggeng to the yard and explained in detail the basic operation and safety precautions of electric vehicles. Banggeng listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show that he understood.

"Banggeng, remember, the most important thing when riding an electric bike is safety. Don't be impatient, take your time," said Zhou Dong.

Bang Geng nodded: "Uncle Zhou Dong, I will be careful."

Zhou Dong smiled and looked at Bang Geng: "Okay, now you can try it."

Banggeng carefully got on the electric bike and started it slowly according to Zhou Dong's instructions. It was a little unstable at first, but he soon mastered the balance and rode smoothly.

"Uncle Zhou Dong, I succeeded!" Bang Geng shouted excitedly, with a confident smile on his face.

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded: "Very good, Bang Geng, you did a great job."

At this time, Qin Huairu came over and saw Banggeng riding an electric bike. She said with satisfaction: "Zhou Dong, thank you for teaching him. He has always been interested in electric bikes."

"Sister Huairu, it's okay. Banggeng is very smart and learns very quickly." Zhou Dong said.

Banggeng rode for a while, then stopped and said to Zhou Dong, "Uncle Zhou Dong, can I ride my electric bike to help you run errands?"

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Of course. But remember, you must pay attention to safety."

Bang Geng nodded excitedly: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhou Dong, I will be careful."

From that day on, Banggeng often rode his electric bike to help Zhou Dong run errands in the courtyard and do things within his ability. Zhou Dong knew that this was not only a training for Banggeng, but also a cultivation of his sense of responsibility.

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, Zhou Dong's electric car project has been promoted throughout the city with the support of the municipal government. Zhou Dong's name has gradually become known to more people and has become the pride of the community.
