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

"Yes, I think this place is very suitable for grandpa and grandma to live in." Zhou Dong's heart was full of hope.

Zhou Dong decided to rent the small courtyard and do some simple renovations. He asked a few friends to help him clean and paint the courtyard, and soon the courtyard looked brand new.

"Zhou Dong, you really put in a lot of effort." Qin Huairu exclaimed as she looked at the newly renovated courtyard.

"Yes, I hope grandpa and grandma can live comfortably here." Zhou Dong's eyes were full of anticipation.

A few days later, Zhou Dong returned to the countryside and again proposed to bring grandma and grandpa to the city. This time, with full confidence, he introduced the small courtyard to grandma and grandpa in detail.

"Zhou Dong, is this place really so good?" Grandma asked with some confusion.

"Yes, grandma, I have cleaned it. The environment is very good and it is close to where I live." Zhou Dong answered seriously.

Grandpa listened and nodded: "Zhou Dong, we understand your intention. Since you said so, let's go to the city with you to take a look."

Zhou Dong was so excited that he said quickly, "Great, Grandma, Grandpa, let's leave right away."

After returning to the city, Zhou Dong brought his grandma and grandpa to the small courtyard. They looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

"Zhou Dong, this place is really nice. You are so thoughtful." Grandma said with a smile.

"Yes, Zhou Dong, we will be very comfortable living here." Grandpa agreed.

Zhou Dong's heart was filled with joy. He settled his grandma and grandpa down and took them to meet the neighbors in the courtyard.

"Hello everyone, this is my grandma and grandpa. They will live in a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city in the future. If they need any help, please take care of them." Zhou Dong introduced with a smile.

The neighbors greeted and welcomed him. Although they still had some concerns, seeing Zhou Dong's dedication, they couldn't bear to say anything more.

A few days later, grandma and grandpa settled down in their new home and their lives gradually became stable. Zhou Dong visited them every day to help them adapt to life in the city.

"Zhou Dong, you are really filial." Qin Huairu sighed.

"This is what I should do." Zhou Dong replied with a smile.

As time went by, Zhou Dong's grandparents lived better and better in the city, and they gradually adapted to their new life. Zhou Dong felt satisfied, knowing that his efforts were not in vain.

One evening, Zhou Dong was busy in the yard when he heard hurried footsteps outside. He looked up and saw Liu Haizhong running towards him with a panicked look on his face.

"Zhou Dong, something bad has happened! Go and take a look!" Liu Haizhong said breathlessly.

Zhou Dong's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Your grandfather fell down! Go and see him!" Liu Haizhong said anxiously.

Zhou Dong was panicked and quickly put down the tools in his hands and ran to the small yard on the outskirts of the city. When he got to the yard, he saw his grandmother standing anxiously at the door, and his grandfather sitting on the ground with a pale face.

"Grandpa, how are you?" Zhou Dong hurried forward and helped his grandfather up.

Grandpa forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Zhou Dong, I just fell accidentally."

Grandma wiped her tears and said, "Zhou Dong, your grandfather is old. What will we do if this continues?"

Zhou Dong felt a pang of pain in his heart. He held his grandfather's hand tightly and said, "Grandpa, let's go to the hospital for a check-up. Don't delay it."

Grandpa shook his head: "No need, Zhou Dong, I just have an old illness, it's nothing serious."

Zhou Dong insisted: "Grandpa, it won't work this time, we must go to the hospital for a check-up."

After some persuasion, Zhou Dong finally took his grandfather to the hospital. After the doctor examined him, he found that his grandfather did have some health problems and needed rest and treatment.

After Zhou Dong's grandparents moved to a small courtyard in the suburbs, they quickly adapted to the new environment, although they were a little uncomfortable at first. Zhou Dong visited them every day and helped with the chores in life. Grandma and Grandpa often talked about the life in the countryside, especially the vegetables and fruits they grew themselves, thinking that the authentic taste could not be bought in the city.

So, on a weekend morning, Zhou Dong and his grandparents got up early and returned to the courtyard with fresh vegetables and fruits they brought from the countryside. Their carts were filled with all kinds of local specialties, including juicy green cabbage, freshly picked sweet potatoes, sweet apples and pears, and even some rare wild vegetables in the countryside.

"Zhou Dong, you have brought good things for everyone this time!" Liu Haizhong came up to him with a smile, and his eyes lit up when he saw the vegetables and fruits on the cart.

"Yes, Brother Liu, these are grown by my grandma and grandpa themselves, they are guaranteed to be fresh!" Zhou Dong responded with a smile.

"Then I have to try it. The vegetables we buy in the city are not as good as these." Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to pick up an apple, took a bite, and the sweet taste immediately filled his mouth.

When the neighbors heard the noise, they gathered around. Qin Huairu looked at the fresh fruits and vegetables and couldn't help but sighed, "Zhou Dong, these vegetables are really good!"

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded: "Yes, Sister Qin, these are all grown by my grandparents, they are pure natural and pollution-free."

"Then we are in for a treat." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Zhou Dong's grandparents smiled when they saw that everyone liked the things they brought. Grandma said gently, "These are what we grow on a daily basis. If you like them, you can take them and eat them. You're welcome."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also came over and picked their favorite vegetables and fruits, with joy on their faces.

"Zhou Dong, I never thought that your grandparents are so capable. The things they grow are much better than what we buy in the city." Liu Guangtian exclaimed.

Zhou Dong felt relieved in his heart. He knew that the things brought by his grandparents not only brought benefits to the neighbors, but also made everyone have a better impression of them.

As time went by, Zhou Dong's grandparents gradually integrated into the life of the courtyard. Not only did they bring fresh fruits and vegetables, they also often helped their neighbors with things within their ability. Grandma would teach the neighbors how to grow vegetables in the yard, and grandpa would help repair some simple tools and furniture.

"Zhou Dong, your grandparents are really nice people." Qin Huairu said to Zhou Dong with a smile one day, "Not only did they bring us so many delicious foods, they were also so warm-hearted."

Zhou Dong's heart was filled with gratitude: "Thank you for your care. They live happily here, all because of good neighbors like you."

One day, Zhou Dong was repairing an old radio in the yard when he suddenly heard Yan Bugui's voice: "Zhou Dong, do you have time? Please help me check the radio at home. I don't know what happened. It suddenly stopped working."

Zhou Dong put down the tools in his hand and stood up: "Of course, Uncle Yan, let's go and take a look."

Zhou Dong followed Yan Bugui to his home and asked while checking the radio: "How are you doing recently, Uncle Yan? Are you used to life here after my grandparents moved in?"

Yan Bugui smiled and nodded: "It's good, they are very nice people, and they brought us a lot of good things. Everyone likes them now."

Zhou Dong felt relieved and continued to concentrate on repairing the radio. After a while, the radio started to play the news of the day again.

"Zhou Dong, your skills are really great. You are simply an all-rounder." Yan Bugui exclaimed.

“No, I just figured it out myself.” Zhou Dong said modestly.

Back in the yard, Zhou Dong saw his grandmother chatting with Qin Huairu, while his grandfather was teaching the children some simple carpentry work. The yard was filled with laughter and everyone was having a great time.

In the evening, Zhou Dong had dinner with his grandma and grandpa in the small courtyard. The aroma of the dishes made by his grandma filled the air, and Zhou Dong felt warm in his heart as he ate the taste of his hometown.

"Zhou Dong, everyone praised you today, saying that you are not only capable but also filial." Grandma said with a smile.

Zhou Dong smiled shyly: "Grandma, this is what I should do. You have worked hard all your life, and I feel very satisfied that I can do something for you."

Grandpa patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Zhou Dong, you are such a good boy. We are very happy here, and it's all thanks to you."

Zhou Dong felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He knew that everything he had done was worth it. Although there had been difficulties and obstacles along the way, his current happy life made him feel that everything was worth it.

One afternoon, Zhou Dong was working on a newly invented device in the yard when he heard a noise outside. He looked up and saw Jia Dongxu and Liu Guangtian standing together, looking nervous.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Zhou Dong hurried over and asked.

Jia Dongxu frowned and said anxiously: "Zhou Dong, it's bad. I heard that a thief broke into the compound and stole Qin Huairu's things!"

Zhou Dong's heart tightened: "When did it happen? Did you see the thief?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head: "We just heard that some valuables were lost from Qin Huairu's home, and everyone is looking for them now."

Zhou Dong felt uneasy and immediately ran to Qin Huairu's house. He saw Qin Huairu standing at the door, her face pale, obviously frightened.

"Sister Qin, are you okay?" Zhou Dong asked with concern.

Qin Huairu forced a smile: "Zhou Dong, I'm fine, it's just that some money and jewelry were lost at home."

Zhou Dong comforted her, "Sister Qin, don't worry, we will definitely find the thief."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also came over, his expression serious: "Zhou Dong, the matter of Qin Huairu's family can't just be let go. We have to report it to the police and can't let the thief go unpunished."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Uncle is right, I will go to the police station to report the case."

Soon, the police arrived and began to investigate in the compound. Zhou Dong and his neighbors cooperated and provided all the clues they knew.
