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

Zhou Dong gritted his teeth, his eyes determined, "Don't worry, let's find a solution together!"

Zhou Dong's grandfather also came out at this time. Although he was old, he was still energetic. "Zhou Dong, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way to divert the water out."

Zhou Dong nodded, secretly admiring his grandfather's calmness. He looked around and suddenly thought of a solution, "Grandpa, we can dig a few drainage ditches around the yard to divert the water outside."

Zhou Dong's grandfather nodded approvingly, "Good idea, everyone hurry up and act!"

When the neighbors heard the suggestion, they responded one after another. Zhou Dong and his grandfather took the lead, and everyone took shovels and started digging drainage ditches around the yard. Although the rain was still falling, no one backed down, and everyone tried their best to divert the water as soon as possible.

Yi Zhonghai encouraged everyone while digging, "Come on, if everyone works together, we will definitely be able to drain the water!"

Although Qin Huairu was thin, she was not willing to be outdone. She dug the soil with all her strength, her face covered with sweat.

Zhou Dong felt extremely excited to see everyone working so hard. He dug even harder, and soon a drainage ditch took shape. Water began to flow out of the yard along the ditch.

"Hurry, dig deeper, the water will flow faster!" Zhou Dong commanded loudly.

After some efforts, the water finally subsided and the water level in the yard began to drop. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they still did not dare to relax and continued to reinforce the drainage ditch to ensure that it would not be washed away by rain again.

A few hours later, the rain finally stopped and the water in the yard was basically drained. The neighbors were exhausted, but they had smiles of victory on their faces.

"Grandpa, thank you. If it weren't for your idea, we would have lost all our belongings." Liu Haizhong said gratefully.

Zhou Dong's grandfather waved his hand and said modestly: "This is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. I just made a suggestion."

Jia Zhang also came over, with tears of gratitude in her eyes, "Grandpa, you are really our savior. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do at my age."

Zhou Dong looked at his grandparents, his heart filled with pride and emotion. He walked up and gently held his grandfather's hand, "Grandpa, you are really our hero."

Zhou Dong's grandfather smiled and patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder. "Zhou Dong, this is all thanks to everyone. Neighbors should help each other, so that we can live happily."

After the baptism of this rainstorm, the neighbors of the courtyard became more united. They began to reorganize the courtyard and repair the furniture that was washed away by the water. Although Zhou Dong's grandfather was old, he still worked tirelessly to help repair it. He picked up the tools and carefully repaired each damaged piece of furniture.

"Grandpa, you should take a rest and don't overwork yourself." Zhou Dong looked at his grandfather's busy figure, his heart full of worry.

Zhou Dong's grandfather smiled and said, "My old bones are still strong. Besides, everyone is busy, how can I be idle?"

Qin Huairu came over and handed Zhou Dong's grandfather a cup of hot tea. "Grandpa, have a sip of tea and take a break. Zhou Dong is right. Don't be too tired."

Zhou Dong's grandfather took the tea and said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Huairu, don't worry too much, I know my body."

Jia Zhang also came over, her tone full of gratitude, "Grandpa, you are such a good person. We don't know how to thank you for doing such a big favor."

Zhou Dong's grandfather waved his hand and said, "We are all family, don't be polite, it's only natural for us to help each other."

That night, Zhou Dong sat together with his neighbors and talked about their experience of the rainstorm. They felt complicated but full of warmth.

"Zhou Dong, thanks to your grandfather today, otherwise we really don't know what to do." Liu Haizhong sighed.

"Yes, my grandparents have always been my role models. They taught me a lot."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, your grandparents are really amazing people. We all admire them very much."

"Thank you for the compliments. I just did what I should do."

Jia Zhang looked at Zhou Dong's grandfather, a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes, "Grandpa, you are really our great benefactor."

"We are all one family, and it is fate that we can help each other."

Life in the courtyard gradually returned to normal. The neighbors' furniture was repaired, the drainage system in the courtyard was improved, and everyone lived more peacefully and comfortably.

Zhou Dong's grandparents are becoming more and more important in the hearts of their neighbors, and everyone is full of gratitude and admiration for them. Zhou Dong looks at all this, and his heart is filled with pride and happiness.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, giving people a warm feeling.

"Zhou Dong, how was your day today?" Zhou Dong's grandfather asked with concern.

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Grandpa, today is very busy, but very fulfilling. Seeing that everyone is doing well, I am very happy."

Zhou Dong's grandmother also smiled and said: "Zhou Dong, you are a good child. We are proud of you."

"Zhou Dong, remember, you must be responsible and care about others. Only in this way can life be better."

"Grandpa and grandma, I will remember your words and always try to be a good person."

As night fell, thinking about everything that happened today, his heart was filled with gratitude and happiness. He knew that with his grandparents and these lovely neighbors, his life would become even better.

The next morning, after Zhou Dong got up, the neighbors began to plant vegetables and fruits in the yard under the guidance of Zhou Dong's grandparents.

"Zhou Dong, come and help!" Bang Geng called excitedly.

Joining everyone else, he picked up a shovel and started digging.

Yi Zhonghai also came over and patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder, "Zhou Dong, today we are going to plant vegetables all over this land so that everyone can eat fresh vegetables."

Zhou Dong nodded, "Okay, let's work hard together!"

After a busy period, the vegetable garden in the yard was finally planted. Everyone looked at this new green land with full of expectations and hope.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, your grandparents are really our lucky stars. With them, our lives have become better."

"Yes, grandpa and grandma have always been my pride."

Looking at the starry sky, his heart was filled with happiness. Zhou Dong knew that with these lovely neighbors, life would become more beautiful and fulfilling.

"Grandpa and grandma, thank you." Zhou Dong said softly, with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Dong's grandparents smiled and said warmly: "Zhou Dong, we thank you too. With you, our lives are so happy."

Night gradually

Zhou Dong went out to work and brought back some pork. The neighbors were all envious, but Zhou Dong planned to eat it alone, which made everyone unhappy.

Zhou Dong had finally saved some money after working outside during this period. He was always thinking about his grandparents and the neighbors in the courtyard, and felt that he should bring them something good. So he bought some fresh pork at the market and prepared to go back and improve the food for everyone.

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already dark, but the courtyard was still bustling. Neighbors were chatting in the courtyard, and children were chasing and playing. Zhou Dong's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Zhou Dong is back!" Qin Huairu was the first to see Zhou Dong and greeted him excitedly.

"Zhou Dong, where have you been these days?" Liu Haizhong also came over.

Zhou Dong smiled and raised the bag in his hand, "I went to work and brought some goodies for everyone."

When everyone heard this, they immediately gathered around and looked curiously at the bag in Zhou Dong's hand.

"Zhou Dong, what did you bring back?" Bang Geng asked curiously.

Zhou Dong smiled and opened the bag, revealing the fresh pork inside, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"Wow, Zhou Dong, the meat you brought back is really good!" Jia Zhang said excitedly.

Yi Zhonghai also praised: "Zhou Dong, this pork looks really fresh, you are really thoughtful."

Zhou Dong's grandparents also came over, and when they saw the pork Zhou Dong brought back, they smiled with relief on their faces.

"Zhou Dong, you've worked hard." Zhou Dong's grandfather patted his shoulder, his eyes full of approval.

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "I thought everyone is busy and doesn't have much chance to eat something good, so I bought some pork and we can eat together tonight."

At this time, Qin Huairu smiled and said: "Zhou Dong, you are such a good boy, everyone thanks you."

Zhou Dong waved his hand, "It's nothing, we are all family, it's the way it should be."

However, Zhou Dong actually has a small wish in his heart - he wants to cook a special meal for his grandparents to express his filial piety. He decided to cook for his grandparents tonight and then invite the neighbors to eat together.

It was dinner time, Zhou Dong was busy in the kitchen, and his grandparents were helping him. While Zhou Dong was cutting meat, he was thinking about how to make a dish that would satisfy his grandparents.

"Zhou Dong, do you need my help?" Qin Huairu walked over and asked with concern.

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Huairu. No thanks. I want to make it myself for my grandparents."

Qin Huairu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then you do your best. If you need anything, feel free to call us."

Zhou Dong nodded and continued to work. After some effort, he finally made a sumptuous dinner. He carefully brought it to his grandparents, and seeing their satisfied smiles, he felt extremely happy.

"Zhou Dong, this dish is delicious. You cooked it very well." Zhou Dong's grandmother praised.

Zhou Dong's grandfather also nodded, "Yes, Zhou Dong, you have grown up and can take care of us."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma, as long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."

After dinner, Zhou Dong distributed the remaining pork to his neighbors, and everyone was very grateful.

"Zhou Dong, you are really our benefactor." Jia Zhang said with emotion.

Liu Haizhong also smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, if you need anything in the future, just let us know and we will all help you."
