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

Qin Huairu put down the rag, walked to Zhou Dong's side, and said softly: "Zhou Dong, do you know? Since you invented this broadcasting device, my children have been clamoring to listen to the news every day. They say that this way they can know more interesting things."

"I just hope everyone can know more things, so that life will be more interesting."

"Zhou Dong, you are such a genius."

Zhou Dong scratched his head and smiled shyly: "Sister Huairu, you are too polite."

At this time, Jia Dongxu also came over, holding a broken radio in his hand and with a helpless look on his face.

"Zhou Dong, my radio is broken again. Can you help me check it?" Jia Dongxu asked.

Zhou Dong nodded and took the radio: "Of course, I'll help you fix it."

Jia Dongxu said gratefully: "Thank you, Zhou Dong, you really helped me a lot."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just a small matter. Wait a moment, I'll fix it for you right away."

Qin Huairu felt warm in her heart as she watched Zhou Dong busying around. She knew that Zhou Dong was a trustworthy person who was always willing to lend a hand no matter what difficulties he encountered. She walked to Zhou Dong's side and whispered, "Zhou Dong, you are such a good person."

Zhou Dong raised his head and glanced at Qin Huairu with a smile: "Sister Huairu."

"Zhou Dong, no matter what, you are very important to all of us. We are all very grateful to you."

Zhou Dong smiled and said nothing more. He lowered his head and concentrated on repairing Jia Dongxu's radio. After a while, the radio made a clear broadcast, and Jia Dongxu jumped up happily: "Great, Zhou Dong, you are so awesome!"

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded: "It's okay, Dongxu, you can always come to me if you have any questions in the future."

Zhou Dong waved his hand: "You're welcome, it's just a small matter."

At this time, Yan Bugui also came over, holding a newspaper in his hand and with a sad look on his face.

"Zhou Dong, look at the news here. It says that the electricity price is going to increase. We have to use electricity sparingly in the future." Yan Bugui said.

Zhou Dong took the newspaper, read it carefully, and nodded: "Yes, the electricity price has increased, we have to find a way to save electricity."

Yan Bugui sighed: "Life is getting harder and harder."

Zhou Dong patted Yan Bugui on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, let's work together to find a solution and we will definitely get through this difficult time."

Yan Bugui nodded: "Zhou Dong, you are really our backbone. With you here, we have confidence."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, you flatter me too much. I am just trying my best. If we work together, our lives will definitely get better and better."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also came over, holding a carpentry tool in his hand and with a look of excitement on his face.

"Zhou Dong, I made a new piece of furniture today, come and take a look." Yi Zhonghai said excitedly.

Zhou Dong walked over, took a look at Yi Zhonghai's new work, and exclaimed: "Uncle Yi, your craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded: "Thank you Zhou Dong, I learned all this from you. You are so smart and can do anything well, I have to work hard too."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Uncle Yi, you're too kind. You are very talented, you just need more practice."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Zhou Dong, you are such a good teacher."

Zhou Dong scratched his head: "Uncle Yi, you are too polite. I just hope everyone can live a better life."

At this time, Liu Haizhong also came over, holding a bottle of beer in his hand and with a happy look on his face.

"Zhou Dong, today is my birthday, let's celebrate together!" Liu Haizhong said happily.

Zhou Dong was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Of course, Brother Haizhong, happy birthday to you!"

Liu Haizhong smiled and nodded: "Thank you Zhou Dong, with you here, our future is hopeful."

Zhou Dong patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Haizhong, you are too polite. If we work together, we will definitely live a good life."

At night, drinking beer, chatting, and laughing, Zhou Dong looked at all this and felt warm in his heart. He knew that everything he did was worth it because he made everyone's life better.

Qin Huairu walked to Zhou Dong and said softly, "Zhou Dong, thank you so much today."

Zhou Dong looked at Qin Huairu and felt warm in his heart: "Sister Huairu, thank you. Your support is my greatest motivation."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Zhou Dong, no matter what difficulties you encounter, we will support you."

"Thank you, Sister Huairu."

As the night deepened, the laughter and chatter in the yard gradually died down, and the neighbors returned to their houses. Zhou Dong also returned to his room, sat at the table, and looked at the broadcasting equipment, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Zhou Dong lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and heard the laughter of his neighbors. He knew that tomorrow was another new day and he still had a lot of things to do. Thinking about it, Zhou Dong gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhou Dong was awakened by a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Jia Dongxu standing at the door.

Zhou Dong sat on the worn bench in the courtyard, holding a cigarette in his hand and smoking slowly. He looked at the blue sky above his head, and his thoughts returned to his grandma and grandpa in the countryside. Since his parents passed away, Zhou Dong has been dependent on these two old people. They are his only relatives. Zhou Dong has always thought that one day he will bring them to live in the city so that they can live a better life.

"Zhou Dong, why are you standing here in a daze alone?" Qin Huairu's voice brought Zhou Dong back from his thoughts.

Zhou Dong looked back and saw Qin Huairu walking towards him with a smile. He smiled and put out the cigarette in his hand: "Nothing, just thinking about grandma and grandpa in the countryside."

Qin Huairu sat next to Zhou Dong and asked with concern: "You haven't been back to see them for a long time, right?"

Zhou Dong nodded: "Yes, I'm busy with work and don't have time to go back. But I plan to bring them to live in the city so that I can take care of them."

Qin Huairu frowned after hearing this: "Zhou Dong, you have to think about this carefully. Can they adapt?"

Zhou Dong sighed: "I also know that there will be many things that they will not adapt to, but I always feel uneasy leaving them in the countryside."

At this time, Yan Bugui also came over, heard their conversation, and interrupted: "Zhou Dong, you want to bring your grandma and grandpa to live in the city? This is not an easy thing."

Zhou Dong looked up at Yan Bugui and nodded: "Yes, Uncle Yan, that's what I planned."

Yan Bugui shook his head: "Zhou Dong, you have to think twice about this. Life in the city is stressful, and they are old, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to adapt."

Zhou Dong was somewhat helpless: "I understand, but I always feel that they are too lonely in the countryside."

Yan Bugui patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Dong, everyone in our courtyard cares about you. If you have any difficulties, just tell us and we will help you. But we have to think about this matter carefully."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also came out of the house, holding a hammer in his hand, with some sweat on his face: "Zhou Dong, if you need help, just tell me. Everyone will help you. But you have to think clearly, bringing the elderly to live in the city may not be the best choice."

Zhou Dong sighed: "I know everyone is doing this for my own good, but I always feel that only by bringing them to my side can I truly feel at ease."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Zhou Dong, we understand your feelings. But the elderly are used to living in the countryside, and they may not be able to adapt to the fast pace of life in the city. If you are really worried, you might as well go back to visit more often, or hire a nanny to help take care of them."

Zhou Dong was silent for a moment, and felt that what Yi Zhonghai said made sense. Although he wanted to bring the elderly to live in the city, he was indeed worried that they would not be able to adapt to life in the city.

At this time, with a smile on his face, he said, "Zhou Dong, I heard that you want to bring grandma and grandpa to live in the city? This is a big deal."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Yes, Brother Haizhong, that's exactly what I planned."

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, I know you are filial, but you need to think about this carefully. The elderly have lived in the countryside all their lives, and everything in the city is new to them."

Zhou Dong sighed: "But I really don't feel comfortable leaving them in the countryside."

Liu Haizhong patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Dong, we all understand how you feel. How about this, let's discuss it and see if there is a better solution."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Okay, Brother Haizhong, let's think of a solution together."

At this time, the deaf old lady also came out of the house. She was old and her hearing was not very good, but she was still very concerned about Zhou Dong's situation. She walked to Zhou Dong's side and patted his hand: "Zhou Dong, don't worry, if you have any difficulties, everyone will help you."

Zhou Dong looked at the deaf old lady and felt warm in his heart: "Thank you, old lady, I will think about it carefully."

Jia Zhang also came over. Although she was usually cunning, she was still very concerned about Zhou Dong's affairs: "Zhou Dong, it's not easy for the elderly. You have to think about it carefully and don't let them suffer."

Zhou Dong nodded: "I know, Aunt Jia, thank you for your concern."

Seeing that everyone was giving Zhou Dong advice, Qin Huairu also said, "Zhou Dong, why don't you go back to the countryside first and talk to the elderly and see what they think before making a decision."

Zhou Dong felt that what Qin Huairu said made sense, and nodded: "Okay, I plan to go back this weekend and discuss it with grandma and grandpa."

On the weekend, Zhou Dong took some gifts and boarded the train back to the countryside. On the way, he thought about how to tell his grandparents about this matter. When he arrived in the countryside, Zhou Dong saw his grandparents busy in the yard, and his heart was warmed.

"Grandma, Grandpa, I'm back!" Zhou Dong shouted loudly.

Grandma looked up and saw Zhou Dong, a smile appeared on her face: "Zhou Dong, why are you back? Are you busy with work?"
