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

Jia Dongxu was speechless and left in disgrace. Everyone looked at Qin Huairu with admiration, but she just smiled and continued to sit down and chat with everyone.

As the night deepened, everyone left one after another, and the courtyard returned to peace. Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu packed up and returned to their own rooms. Lying on the bed, Zhou Dong thought about what happened during the day and felt warm in his heart. He knew that with the support of Qin Huairu and the neighbors, he would be able to realize more of his dreams.

A few days later, Qin Huairu brought the materials and tools Zhou Dong needed. Zhou Dong excitedly started working on his next invention. He decided to build a small radio station to transmit the radio signal to every neighbor's home through radio waves. In this way, everyone would not have to gather in the yard every day to listen to the news.

Zhou Dong worked hard for several days and nights and finally completed his radio station. He gathered all the neighbors in the yard to show his latest invention. When everyone saw this small radio station, they showed their surprise and admiration.

Zhou Dong said proudly: "Now everyone can listen to the signal from my radio station by installing a small receiver at home."

Neighbors expressed their gratitude, especially the elderly with limited mobility, who could finally hear the news at home.

As time went by, Zhou Dong's radio station became a new highlight in the courtyard. Every evening, everyone would listen to the radio at home and discuss the day's news. Zhou Dong also gained more respect and support in the courtyard.

That evening, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, dyeing the mottled walls and the blue bricks on the ground red. Zhou Dong had just finished debugging his radio station and returned to his room with joy. He sat at the table, turned on the small radio he had carefully made, and began to listen to the news that night. At the same time, he also planned to boil a pot of water, make a pot of strong tea, and relax.

There was a hissing sound in the room, the water in the kettle gradually boiled, and steam came out of the spout, bringing a stream of hot air. Zhou Dong listened attentively to the news on the radio, completely immersed in it, forgetting the passage of time.

"We are now reporting the latest national news..." The voice on the radio was as clear as ever, and Zhou Dong's thoughts also followed Zhou Dong to the distance.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard in the yard, followed by Qin Huairu's voice: "Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong, your water!"

Zhou Dong suddenly came to his senses and smelled a burning smell. He hurriedly stood up and rushed to the stove, where he saw that the water had overflowed and spilled all over the floor. The flames licked the bottom of the pot, making a harsh hissing sound.

"Oh, that's bad!" Zhou Dong quickly turned off the fire, but the water had already spilled all over the stove and the floor. Qin Huairu walked in quickly, holding a worn rag in her hand.

"Zhou Dong, why are you so confused?" Qin Huairu complained as she bent down and began to wipe the water stains on the ground.

Zhou Dong felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Sister Huairu, I'm sorry, I was too focused on listening to the news and didn't pay attention."

Qin Huairu smiled and said softly: "It's okay, your radio is really amazing. Anyone who listens to it will forget the time." She quickly wiped the water off the floor and cleaned the water stains on the stove.

Zhou Dong looked at her gratefully, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart: "Sister Huairu, thank you so much. If you hadn't reminded me, my stove would have been burned out."

Qin Huairu stood up, patted the water stains on her hands, and smiled, "It's a small matter. We are all neighbors, and it's only natural for us to help each other." She looked at Zhou Dong and added, "But you have to be more careful in the future, and don't be so careless all the time."

Zhou Dong nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I remember it." He thought of the broadcast just now, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, "Sister Huairu, my radio station is really a success. I can hear the news tonight very clearly."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Yes, our whole family is listening to it tonight. My mother-in-law also said that your radio station is better than the previous radios."

Zhou Dong was even more delighted after hearing this: "That's good. I plan to continue improving it and try to make the signal more stable."

As they were talking, neighbor Liu Haizhong came over with a small basket full of fresh vegetables. "Zhou Dong, Huairu, it happens that you are all here. I just bought some fresh vegetables from the market and gave some to you to try."

Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu thanked him together. Liu Haizhong handed the dish to Qin Huairu and turned to Zhou Dong and said, "Zhou Dong, your radio station is really a great thing. Now people don't have to go out to the streets to listen to the news. They can get the latest news at home."

Zhou Dong smiled modestly: "Uncle Liu, as long as everyone likes it, I will continue to improve it."

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Well, with young people like you here, our compound will get better and better." He paused and said, "By the way, Zhou Dong, if you have time, can you teach me the principles of this radio? I also want to learn."

Zhou Dong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, Uncle Liu, I will find time to explain the principle to you guys some other day."

Qin Huairu smiled and interrupted: "That's great, I want to learn it too."

As they were talking, Jia Dongxu walked by and snorted, "Humph, it's just a shabby radio station, what's there to be proud of?"

Zhou Dong felt unhappy after hearing this, but he still said patiently: "Dongxu, if you are not satisfied with anything, you can raise it and I will improve it."

Jia Dongxu waved his hand disdainfully: "I'm too lazy to talk to you self-righteous people."

Qin Huairu couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked up to Jia Dongxu and said coldly, "Jia Dongxu, you're not right. Zhou Dong spent so much effort to build this radio station for everyone's benefit. It's too unreasonable for you to say that."

Jia Dongxu curled his lips and said, "Hmph, keep bragging if you have the guts. I don't care anyway." After saying that, he turned around and left the yard.

Zhou Dong looked at Jia Dongxu's back and felt a little uncomfortable, but he knew that everyone had their own opinions and could not be forced. Qin Huairu saw that he was a little disappointed, patted his shoulder, and said gently: "Ignore him, let's do our own thing and let the facts speak for themselves."

Zhou Dong nodded and looked at Qin Huairu gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Huairu, I have confidence with your support."

A few days later, Zhou Dong started to get busy again. He decided to further improve his radio station to make the signal coverage wider and add more channels to give neighbors more choices. He plunged into his hut and immersed himself in studying various circuits and antennas.

Qin Huairu would come over from time to time, bring some food and drinks, and help tidy up the room. Zhou Dong always thanked him gratefully, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer. Other neighbors in the yard also expressed their support, and everyone was looking forward to Zhou Dong's new invention.

One evening, Zhou Dong finally finished his improvement work. He excitedly ran to the yard and called everyone to test the new equipment. Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai and others gathered around, and everyone looked at Zhou Dong expectantly.

Zhou Dong said confidently: "Everyone, I have improved the antenna and circuit of the radio station this time. Now the signal coverage is wider, and several new channels have been added. You can listen to more programs."

As he spoke, he turned on the radio station, and clear sound came out immediately. News, music, opera and other programs were played in turn, and everyone shouted in surprise.

Qin Huairu said excitedly: "Zhou Dong, you really succeeded this time, it's great!"

Liu Haizhong also praised: "Yes, now we can listen to more programs, which is great."

Yan Bugui laughed loudly: "Zhou Dong, everyone in our compound should thank you. You are really benefiting everyone!"

Zhou Dong listened to everyone's praise, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. He knew that this was just the beginning, and there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for him in the future.

As night fell, the yard returned to peace, with only the sound from the radio station echoing in the air. Zhou Dong stood in the middle of the yard, looking at the satisfied faces of his neighbors, and felt very warm in his heart. He knew that with everyone's support, he would be able to realize more dreams and benefit more people.

Qin Huairu walked up to Zhou Dong and said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, you are really the pride of our compound."

Zhou Dong looked at her gratefully and said seriously: "Sister Huairu, thank you for your support and help all the time. Without you, I couldn't do this."

Qin Huairu smiled gently: "You are a talented person. As long as you persist, you will achieve greater success."

Zhou Dong nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "Well, I will, I will continue to work hard to make more useful things to make everyone's life better."

After that, Zhou Dong started new research and inventions. Every progress he made brought more convenience and happiness to the neighbors of the courtyard. Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai and others also became his loyal supporters. Everyone worked together to make this courtyard more harmonious and beautiful.

One day, Zhou Dong was debugging a new device in his room when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He got up and opened the door, and saw Qin Huairu, looking pale and

Zhou Dong stood in front of the window of his little house, his eyes a little dazed. Outside the window, the neighbors in the courtyard were busy with their own lives. From the yard came the sounds of children playing, pots and pans colliding, and the chatter of several old neighbors. Zhou Dong lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. In the smoke, his thoughts drifted back to the distant countryside.

"Grandma, Grandpa..." Zhou Dong murmured softly, his heart filled with longing for them.
