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

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door. Zhou Dong got up to open the door and found Qin Huairu standing at the door with a bowl of steamed rice in her hand.

"Zhou Dong, I'll bring you some rice. It will taste better with your braised pork." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Zhou Dong felt warm in his heart and quickly took the rice: "Thank you, Sister Qin, that's great. How about you come in and eat with us?"

Qin Huairu waved her hand: "No, I'm just worried that you'd be too lonely eating alone. Now that you have rice, enjoy it."

Zhou Dong nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Qin, you are so kind."

Qin Huairu smiled slightly and turned away. Zhou Dong looked at her back, his heart full of gratitude. He returned to the table, eating braised pork, thinking about how to make up for what happened today.

The next morning, Zhou Dong got up early and went to the market to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits. He decided to treat his neighbors to a meal tonight to express his apology and gratitude.

In the evening, Zhou Dong cooked a sumptuous dinner with the newly bought vegetables and fruits, and also prepared some side dishes. He placed the table in the middle of the yard and invited all the neighbors to join.

"Everyone, I'd like to invite you all to dinner tonight. You're all disappointed by what happened yesterday. I have specially prepared some delicious dishes today. I hope you can forgive me." Zhou Dong said sincerely.

Qin Huairu was the first to come over and said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, we all understand what happened yesterday. We are really touched by your careful preparation today."

Liu Haizhong also came over and patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder: "Zhou Dong, it's okay. We are all family. It's normal to have some misunderstandings occasionally. Let's have a good meal together today."

Yi Zhonghai also smiled and nodded: "Zhou Dong, you are right to do this."

Zhou Dong felt warm at heart as he listened to everyone's words. He knew that although he sometimes made mistakes, as long as he treated his neighbors sincerely, everyone would understand and support him.

The atmosphere was very harmonious as they ate the food Zhou Dong had carefully prepared and chatted with each other. Zhou Dong's grandparents also joined them, their faces filled with happy smiles.

"Zhou Dong, the dishes you cooked today are so delicious." Qin Huairu exclaimed.

"Yes, Zhou Dong, your skills are getting better and better." Liu Haizhong also sighed.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and smiled: "Zhou Dong, if you have good things in the future, please bring them out and let us share them together. This will make life more enjoyable."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Thank you everyone. If I have something good in the future, I will definitely bring it out as soon as possible so that we can share it with everyone."

The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and the neighbors returned to their homes contentedly. Zhou Dong watched everyone leave, his heart filled with gratitude and satisfaction.

A few days later, Zhou Dong became busy again. He decided to use this time to further improve the facilities in the yard. He discussed with his grandfather and planned to build a small shed in the yard to store things that were not usually used.

Zhou Dong's grandfather pointed to the corner of the yard and said, "Zhou Dong, you can build a small shed here to store some sundries and shelter from the wind and rain."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Grandpa, you are right, we will build it in the next few days."

In the courtyard, Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu's marriage became the focus of everyone's attention. After a long time together, Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu's feelings became deeper and deeper, and they decided to spend their lives together. This decision was supported by Zhou Dong's grandparents, who were also very happy to witness their grandson's happy moment.

On the wedding day, the courtyard was decorated with lanterns and all the neighbors were busy setting up the venue. Zhou Dong's grandparents, as witnesses, looked particularly energetic. They stood in the middle of the courtyard, waiting for this sacred moment to arrive.

"Zhou Dong, you look so handsome today!" Liu Haizhong smiled and patted Zhou Dong's shoulder, his eyes full of blessings.

"Yes, Qin Huairu looks really beautiful today." Yan Bugui stood aside and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Dong was wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit. Although he was a little nervous, his face was full of happy smiles. He looked at Qin Huairu who was busy not far away, and felt extremely satisfied and expectant.

"Zhou Dong, you must perform well today and don't let Huairu down." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely make her happy."

The wedding officially began. Zhou Dong's grandparents stood in front and solemnly announced: "Today, we are here to witness the wedding of Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu. We hope they can grow old together and live happily ever after."

Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu stood in front of their grandparents, looking at each other with deep affection in their eyes. Zhou Dong held Qin Huairu's hand and said solemnly: "Huairu, I will treat you well, take care of you, and protect you for the rest of my life."

Qin Huairu's eyes sparkled with tears, and she nodded: "Zhou Dong, I will always be by your side and spend my life with you."

"Good! Very good!" Zhou Dong's grandfather clapped his hands, tears welling up in his eyes. He turned to look at his neighbors and said with a smile: "We all witnessed this moment together today, let us wish them the best."

The neighbors applauded and gave their sincere blessings. Just when everyone was happy for Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang stood aside with tears in her eyes.

"Huai Ru, this child is so pitiful." Jia Zhang sobbed, her heart full of mixed emotions.

Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu noticed Jia Zhang and went over to comfort her.

"Auntie Jia, today is a happy day, please don't be sad." Qin Huairu gently held Jia Zhang's hand and said softly.

"Yes, Aunt Jia, Huairu will be very happy in the future." Zhou Dong also advised.

Jia Zhang wiped her tears and forced a smile: "I just thought about the past and felt a little emotional. Huairu, you have to live a good life in the future."

Qin Huairu nodded: "I will, Aunt Jia."

After the wedding, everyone sat together and enjoyed the sumptuous banquet. Zhou Dong's grandparents sat at the main table, looking at the lively scene around them, feeling satisfied and relieved.

"Zhou Dong, you really made us proud this time." Zhou Dong's grandfather said with a smile, his eyes full of pride.

"Grandpa and grandma, all this is thanks to your support." Zhou Dong said gratefully.

Qin Huairu also smiled and said: "Grandpa and grandma, we will respect you well in the future and let you live a happy old age."

Zhou Dong's grandmother smiled and said, "Good children, we believe you will be happy."

At the banquet, neighbors toasted Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu and gave them their best wishes.

"Zhou Dong, Qin Huairu, I wish you a long and happy life together and a son soon!" Liu Haizhong said, raising his glass.

"Yes, Zhou Dong, you must be happy!" Yan Bugui also echoed.

"Thank you all for your blessings. We will always be happy." Zhou Dong responded with a smile, his heart full of gratitude.

In the days after the wedding, Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu lived a happy life. They were busy with work and family every day, but their hearts were full of satisfaction and joy. Zhou Dong's grandparents were also very pleased. They felt very satisfied watching their grandson and granddaughter-in-law live a happy life.

"Zhou Dong, I think our life is so good now. We have you, grandparents, and so many good neighbors." Qin Huairu leaned on Zhou Dong's shoulder and said softly.

Zhou Dong held her hand and said gently, "Yes, I think so too. Huairu, we must work harder in the future to make our lives better and better."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Well, let's work hard together."

As the night deepened, the courtyard gradually became quiet. Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu walked back to the room hand in hand, their hearts filled with beautiful visions of the future.

A few days later, new news came from the courtyard. Zhou Dong made a breakthrough in his work, his new invention was recognized by the factory, and he received a considerable bonus. This made Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu's life more prosperous and made them full of confidence in the future.

"Zhou Dong, this is great. Your hard work has finally paid off." Qin Huairu said excitedly, her eyes full of joy.

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Yes, this is all the result of our joint efforts. Huairu, we must work harder in the future to make our lives better and better."

"Yes, we will." Qin Huairu nodded, her heart full of hope.

That night, Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu decided to invite all the neighbors to their home to celebrate the good news. They carefully prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited all the neighbors to attend.

"Everyone, we have a happy event in our family tonight. Please come and celebrate together." Zhou Dong invited everyone warmly.

Neighbors came one after another and sat in front of Zhou Dong's house with great anticipation.

"Zhou Dong, what's the happy event today?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

Zhou Dong smiled and replied: "My invention in the factory was recognized and I received a bonus. Today, please come and celebrate with me."

"That's great, Zhou Dong, you're so awesome!" Qin Huairu said excitedly, with pride flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, Zhou Dong, you really brought honor to our courtyard this time." Yi Zhonghai also said with appreciation.

The dinner was held in a pleasant atmosphere. Everyone sat together, enjoying the food and chatting. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

"Zhou Dong, you did a great job this time. In the future, we should learn from you, work hard, and strive to achieve something too." Liu Haizhong exclaimed.

"Yes, Zhou Dong, you have set an example for us this time." Yan Bugui also nodded in agreement.

Zhou Dong smiled modestly: "Thank you for the compliments. In fact, this is all due to our joint efforts. We must work together in the future to make our lives better and better."

"Yes, let's work together!" Qin Huairu also said happily, her eyes full of hope.

Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu decided to use Zhou Dong's bonus to open a ramen restaurant. This idea was supported by Zhou Dong's grandparents and neighbors. After several months of preparation, the ramen restaurant finally opened.
