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

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, the young man smiled with satisfaction: "Great, I will contact the relevant personnel of our company as soon as possible to discuss the details of the cooperation."

They know that this cooperation will bring new opportunities and development to their business, and they will continue to work hard to run this ramen restaurant better.

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui sat on the shore of the small lake in the courtyard, holding fishing rods and concentrating on fishing. The lake water was clear and the breeze blew, and the leaves swayed gently, as if welcoming the two casual anglers.

"Zhou Dong, look, I caught another big fish!" Yan Bugui shouted excitedly, with a satisfied smile on his face. He was a master fisherman and could always get a good harvest.

Zhou Dong smiled and looked at Yan Bugui, his heart full of envy and admiration. He had just started learning fishing and was full of enthusiasm and interest in the sport, but he was not as good at it as Yan Bugui.

"Brother Yan, you are so awesome! I can hardly catch many fish every time." Zhou Dong said with a wry smile, his voice full of helplessness and self-mockery.

Yan Bugui smiled and patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, Zhou Dong. Fishing is a skill that requires practice. As long as you fish a few more times, you will make progress."

Zhou Dong nodded, his heart full of gratitude and encouragement. He knew he still had a lot of shortcomings, but he also believed that as long as he practiced hard, he would be able to make progress.

They chatted and continued fishing, enjoying this rare leisure time. The lake water was crystal clear and the fish were playing in the water, as if they were also enjoying themselves.

After a while, Yan Bugui caught another big fish and excitedly held it up to show Zhou Dong.

"Zhou Dong, this time we caught another big one!" Yan Bugui said proudly, with a gleam in his eyes. He was very satisfied with his fishing skills.

Zhou Dong looked at him with a smile, his heart full of joy and envy. He knew he still had a long way to go, but he also believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to become an excellent fishing expert like Yan Bugui one day.

"Brother Yan, you are amazing!" Zhou Dong exclaimed, his voice full of admiration and envy, "I hope one day I can catch as many big fish as you do."

Yan Bugui smiled and patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Zhou Dong. As long as you practice more and try more, you will definitely be able to achieve your goal."

Zhou Dong nodded, his heart full of determination and confidence. He knew that he still had many shortcomings, but he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to make progress and become a real fishing master.

They continued fishing and enjoying the peaceful time by the lake. The sparkling water, the breeze, and the swaying leaves seemed to add a touch of poetry and beauty to their leisure life.

After a while, they caught some fish and excitedly packed up their fishing gear to go home. Back at the ramen restaurant, they cleaned the fish and prepared to make fish soup ramen for customers to taste.

"Zhou Dong, can this thing really hear the news?" Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with curiosity. She was a famous beautiful widow in the compound. She had a gentle personality and was good at taking care of housework.

"Of course." Zhou Dong smiled and pushed the homemade radio. It was a rough-looking device made of various parts, but it miraculously worked properly. Zhou Dong gently turned the FM knob, and after a moment, a clear broadcast came out: "...Today's news broadcast..."

"Wow!" The courtyard immediately exploded. Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Jia Dongxu and others gathered around, excitedly listening to the long-lost news.

"This is such a treasure!" Yi Zhonghai exclaimed. He was an old resident of the compound and had seen a lot of the world, but this was the first time he had seen such sophisticated equipment.

"Zhou Dong, you are really amazing!" Yan Bugui couldn't help but patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder.

"Don't just praise me," Zhou Dong scratched his head, a little shy, "This thing is nothing big, I just tinkered with it."

At this moment, Qin Huairu suddenly rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, why don't I move to your house so that I can listen to the news every day."

Zhou Dong was stunned, then smiled awkwardly: "This...is not good, right?"

"What's wrong with that?" Qin Huairu smiled even sweeter. "I'm a widow, and it's not convenient for me to take care of the child. You're a grown man and you don't have anyone to take care of me. We can just take care of each other."

Zhou Dong's heart trembled. Qin Huairu's words really touched his heart. Since his parents passed away, he lived alone in this courtyard. Although the neighbors took good care of him, there was no one who cared about him. Besides, Qin Huairu's son Banggeng was also very cute, and he liked this child very much.

"This..." Zhou Dong was still hesitating, but Jia Dongxu interrupted and said, "Zhou Dong, if you feel it is inconvenient, I have an empty room at home. You can move the radio to my place and we can all listen together."

"Yes, Zhou Dong." Liu Haizhong also echoed, "Or you can put it in the courtyard so that everyone can hear it."

Zhou Dong was a little confused, he didn't know how to deal with this sudden enthusiasm. At this time, the deaf old lady slowly walked over. She was the oldest person in the compound. She didn't talk much, but every word she said was very important.

"Zhou Dong, you worked so hard to make this radio. Anyone who wants to listen to it must get your consent." The deaf old lady said slowly, "Qin Huairu wants to move in, and that's for the good of both of you. Everyone has to respect your decision."

Zhou Dong nodded, feeling very grateful for the words of the deaf old lady. He looked at Qin Huairu, seeing her face full of expectation, and thinking of the loneliness of living alone, he finally made up his mind.

"Okay, Sister Qin, you can move in." Zhou Dong said, "But we have to make it clear that you live with me and help me with housework."

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with pride, and she smiled and said, "Of course, I will definitely take good care of you."

After this decision was made, the atmosphere in the courtyard became even more lively. Everyone offered suggestions and helped Qin Huairu move and tidy up the room. Zhou Dong's small courtyard suddenly became bustling with activity.

"Zhou Dong, what else can we listen to on this radio?" Bang Geng pulled the corner of Zhou Dong's clothes and asked curiously.

"In addition to news, you can also hear music, stories and operas." Zhou Dong patiently explained, "Just tune to different frequency bands and you can hear different programs."

Bang Geng jumped up excitedly: "Great! From now on, I can hear stories every day!"

Qin Huairu smiled and patted her son's head: "You must listen to Uncle Zhou Dong and don't make trouble."

"Got it, Mom." Banggeng nodded obediently.

As night fell, the Zhou family's yard was still brightly lit. Everyone was chatting while listening to the radio. Yan Bugui told stories about his youth, while Liu Haizhong boasted about his experiences. Jia Dongxu occasionally interjected, causing everyone to laugh.

Qin Huairu was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner. Zhou Dong walked over and saw her busy figure, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Sister Qin, let me help you." Zhou Dong said.

"No need, you've been busy all day, it's time to take a break." Qin Huairu smiled gently, "Besides, this is dinner for both of our families, it's more appropriate for me to cook it."

Zhou Dong nodded, and admired Qin Huairu's virtue even more. He returned to the yard and saw everyone gathered around the radio with satisfied smiles on their faces, and he felt satisfied.

"Zhou Dong, can you make a few more of this radio?" Yi Zhonghai suddenly asked.

"Yes, Zhou Dong, if we can make a few more, every household in our compound will be able to hear it." Yan Bugui also agreed.

Zhou Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's not impossible to do this, but the materials are a little hard to find. Also, this radio needs regular maintenance, otherwise it's easy to have problems."

Liu Haizhong patted his chest and said, "Zhou Dong, just tell me what materials you need, and we'll work together to find a solution."

"Yes, if we all work together, we can always find the materials." Jia Dongxu also responded positively.

Zhou Dong was touched by everyone's enthusiasm. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make a few more so that everyone can hear the news."

"Good!" Everyone cheered in unison, and the yard was suddenly filled with laughter.

As the night deepened, everyone gradually dispersed. Qin Huairu also settled her son and returned to her room. Zhou Dong sat alone in the yard, looking at the night sky, but his heart could not calm down for a long time. He thought of his hard work in the past few years and the enthusiasm of his neighbors, and his heart was filled with gratitude and responsibility.

"Zhou Dong, go to bed early." Qin Huairu's voice came from the room.

"Okay, Sister Qin." Zhou Dong agreed, stood up and walked back to his room.

The courtyard was quiet and peaceful at night, with only the faint sound of the radio from afar gently echoing in the night wind. Zhou Dong lay on the bed, listening to the familiar voice, and gradually fell asleep. In his dream, there was a vast world, full of endless possibilities and hope.

The next morning, Zhou Dong got up and started to get busy. He first checked the radio to make sure it was working properly, and then started to think about how to make more radios.

"Zhou Dong, breakfast is ready, come and eat." Qin Huairu's voice interrupted Zhou Dong's thoughts.

"I'm here, Sister Qin." Zhou Dong put down the tools in his hands and walked into the kitchen. Qin Huairu had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast, and Banggeng was already sitting at the table, watching eagerly.

"Uncle Zhou Dong, are there any interesting programs today?" Bang Geng asked curiously.

"There should be a new storytelling program today, telling the legendary stories of ancient heroes."
