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

Zhou Dong put down his luggage and walked to his grandmother: "I'm not busy. I came back specially to see you today."

Grandpa also put down the hoe in his hand and said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, come, sit down and rest for a while."

Zhou Dong sat down and chatted with his grandma and grandpa for a while before he said, "Grandma, Grandpa, I have something to discuss with you."

Grandma glanced at Zhou Dong and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Zhou Dong took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, I want to bring you to live in the city so that I can take care of you."

Grandma and Grandpa looked at each other and looked a little embarrassed. Grandma said, "Zhou Dong, we have lived in the countryside all our lives. I'm afraid we are not used to the life in the city."

Zhou Dong nodded: "I know, but I'm always worried about you guys being in the country. If anything happens, I won't be around."

Grandpa patted Zhou Dong's hand and comforted him: "Zhou Dong, we know you are doing this for our own good. But we are old and used to life in the countryside. We may not be able to adapt to life in the city."

Zhou Dong sighed: "I know you don't want to leave the countryside, but I really don't feel comfortable leaving you here alone."

Grandma smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, don't worry, we have many old friends in the countryside, and everyone will take care of each other."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Okay, Grandma, Grandpa, I respect your decision. But you must promise me that if anything happens, you must tell me and I will come back immediately."

Grandma and Grandpa nodded: "Okay, Zhou Dong, don't worry."

Zhou Dong stayed with his grandma and grandpa in the countryside for a few days, helping them with some housework before returning to the city. When he returned to the courtyard, everyone gathered around him and asked him about his situation in the countryside.

"Zhou Dong, how is it? Did the old man agree to live in the city?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

Zhou Dong shook his head: "They don't want to leave the countryside, saying they are used to the life there."

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "Zhou Dong, you are right to respect their decision. The elderly are used to living in the countryside. If they suddenly move to the city, they may not be able to adapt."

Zhou Dong sighed: "I understand, but I'm still worried."

Yi Zhonghai patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Dong, you did a great job. We should respect the old man's choice. If you need any help, just let us know."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Thank you all for your concern. I will go back to see them often."

At this time, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also came over. They were Liu Haizhong's brothers and they also cared about Zhou Dong.

"Zhou Dong, don't worry. If you need any help from us, just let me know," said Liu Guangtian.

Zhou Dong nodded gratefully: "Thank you, I will."

Jia Dongxu also came over. He always regarded Zhou Dong as his role model: "Zhou Dong, you are so filial. I want to learn from you in the future."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Dongxu, filial piety is what you should do. You should also pay more attention to your family."

Jia Dongxu nodded: "I will, Zhou Dong."

At night, Zhou Dong sat on a bench in the yard, looking at the starry sky, thinking about his grandma and grandpa. He knew that although he could not bring them to the city, he would try his best to take care of them.

Zhou Dong sat in the courtyard of the quadrangle, feeling entangled and depressed. He had already smoked half of his cigarette, and the cigarette butt between his fingers was burning unsteadily. He was determined to bring his grandma and grandpa from the countryside to live in the city, but the opposition from his neighbors made him feel extremely powerless.

"Zhou Dong, are you really planning to bring the old man to the city?" Qin Huairu asked while washing clothes, frowning.

"Yes, Sister Huairu," Zhou Dong answered firmly, "I think they are old and need someone to take care of them. I work in the city every day and I can't take care of them at all."

"But everyone is worried," Qin Huairu sighed, "The uncles think that the living habits in the countryside are too different from those in the city, and they are afraid that the elderly will not be able to adapt."

Zhou Dong frowned, "I know they will feel uncomfortable, but as long as they are determined, they can overcome it. Besides, I can't let them continue to be alone in the countryside."

At this time, an old man named Yan Bugui came over from the other side. He had obviously heard the conversation between the two. He had a stern face and a somewhat stern tone: "Zhou Dong, I know you are a filial child, but you have to consider everyone. Country people have different living habits, and I am afraid it will cause trouble for everyone."

Zhou Dong stood up and faced the uncle with a firm look in his eyes: "Uncle, I understand your concerns, but I don't think country people will necessarily cause trouble to everyone. My grandma and grandpa are both hygienic people, they won't get dirty."

Yan Bugui shook his head, his face serious: "Zhou Dong, you are still young and don't understand how difficult it is for old people to change their habits. We are all city people here, accustomed to a clean and tidy life, but country people are different."

Zhou Dong's tone also became tough: "Uncle, you can't be prejudiced just because you are from the countryside. Everyone has the ability to adapt to a new environment. As long as they are given a chance, they will definitely be able to do it."

Liu Haizhong also came over with a bit of uneasiness on his face: "Zhou Dong, we all know that you are a filial child, but everyone's worry is justified. The living habits in the countryside are indeed very different from those in the city."

Zhou Dong gritted his teeth, his heart full of determination: "Brother Haizhong, I understand everyone's concerns, but we can't stop them from coming because of this. They are my only relatives, I must take care of them."

Jia Zhang interrupted and said, "Zhou Dong, think about it. If they really can't adapt, everyone's life will be difficult. Then everyone will be unhappy, which is not a good thing."

Zhou Dong took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone: "Auntie Jia, I know you are all doing this for my own good, but I really can't let them continue to be alone and helpless in the countryside. I will find a way to help them adapt to life in the city and won't cause any trouble to anyone."

The deaf old lady also came out of the house. Although she had poor hearing, she was always concerned about Zhou Dong's situation. She patted Zhou Dong's hand and said earnestly: "Zhou Dong, we all understand your feelings, but everyone's worries are not unreasonable. If you insist, we can't say anything, but you must be prepared."

Zhou Dong nodded and looked at the deaf old lady gratefully: "Thank you, old lady, I will try my best to satisfy everyone."

Yi Zhonghai came over with a worried look on his face: "Zhou Dong, you really need to think about this matter carefully. The living habits of the elderly cannot be changed overnight. If they can't adapt, everyone's life will be difficult."

Zhou Dong replied firmly: "Uncle Yi, I have thought it through very clearly. I know there will be many difficulties, but I will definitely overcome them."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also came over. They were obviously a little worried about Zhou Dong's decision. Liu Guangtian said, "Zhou Dong, we all support you in being filial, but you really need to think twice before you act."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Brother Guangtian, Brother Guangfu, I understand what you mean. But I have decided, I will do my best to help grandma and grandpa adapt to life in the city, and I will not cause any trouble to everyone."

At this time, Bang Geng ran over. He had always admired Zhou Dong. Hearing everyone's argument, he was also a little puzzled: "Brother Zhou Dong, why don't people let you bring your grandparents over?"

Zhou Dong squatted down, touched Banggeng's head, and patiently explained: "Banggeng, everyone is worried that the living habits in the countryside and the city are different, and they are afraid that the elderly will not be able to adapt."

Bang Geng blinked: "But I think that as long as you are willing, you can adapt to anything."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Yes, Bang Geng, you are right. As long as you have the determination, you can overcome difficulties."

He has always regarded Zhou Dong as a role model and is very concerned about Zhou Dong's decision: "Brother Zhou Dong, I think you are right. As long as you are determined, you can overcome difficulties."

Zhou Dong patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder: "Dongxu, thank you for your support. I will try my best to satisfy everyone."

Seeing Zhou Dong's determination, Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Zhou Dong, since you insist so much, we can't say anything more. But you have to remember that this is not a trivial matter. You must be prepared."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Uncle, I will. I have made up my mind, no matter how difficult it is, I will overcome it."

As the night went on, the arguments in the yard gradually died down. Zhou Dong sat in his room, looking at the starry sky outside the window, his heart full of determination. He knew that the difficulties he faced were not small, but he would definitely overcome them and let his grandma and grandpa live a happy life.

The next morning, Zhou Dong returned to the countryside with a firm determination. He met his grandma and grandpa and told them his decision. Although grandma and grandpa were a little worried, they also knew Zhou Dong's filial piety and agreed with his decision.

"Zhou Dong, we will follow your arrangements. We will listen to whatever you say." Grandma said with a smile. Although there was some worry on her face, she showed more trust in Zhou Dong.

"Thank you for your understanding, grandma and grandpa." Zhou Dong said gratefully, "I will definitely let you live a good life."

Zhou Dong brought his grandma and grandpa back to the city. Although the neighbors in the courtyard were still a little worried, they all came to help settle in. Qin Huairu and the deaf old lady helped clean the room, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong helped move things, and Jia Dongxu and Banggeng ran around, busy as hell.

"Zhou Dong, don't worry, just let me know if you need any help." Although Yan Bugui was still a little worried, he tried his best to help.

"Thank you, uncle. I will definitely help grandma and grandpa adapt to life here." Zhou Dong said gratefully.

Grandma and Grandpa felt very warm in their hearts when they saw everyone was so enthusiastic. Grandma smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, we feel relieved that you have so many good neighbors."
