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

Qin Huairu recalled the meals her mother cooked for her when she was a child, with tears in her eyes: "I will never forget the taste of the braised pork my mother made."

Yan Bugui also said with emotion: "When I was a child, my family was poor. My mother always saved money and saved the good things for us brothers and sisters. Although those days were hard, they were full of love."

Zhou Dong felt warm in his heart as he listened to everyone's memories. He knew that these stories intertwined together formed the big family of Siheyuan.

In the evening, after the party, Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai cleaned up the dishes together. Yi Zhonghai suddenly said, "Zhou Dong, I always think you are a very promising young man. In the future, you will definitely have a better development."

Zhou Dong was somewhat flattered: "Master Yi, you flatter me too much. I just did what I should do."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "No, Zhou Dong, you have that passion and persistence, which is rare among young people. Keep it up, and you will achieve great things."

Zhou Dong nodded gratefully: "

Back in his room, Zhou Dong looked at the blue floral shirt, his heart full of hope and motivation. He knew that he should not only work hard for his mother's expectations, but also for this warm courtyard and the neighbors who cared about him.

In the following days, Zhou Dong continued to work hard in the factory, riding his bike to the old street every week to buy rice cakes and share the deliciousness and happiness with his neighbors. Although the days in the courtyard are ordinary, they are full of warmth and touching. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui were repairing an old chair in the yard. "Zhou Dong, you have made great progress during this period, and your colleagues in the factory are impressed by you." Thank you Brother Yan for the compliment, "With such an attitude, you will definitely have better development in the future."

Not long after, the factory received an important task, and the factory director decided to let Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai jointly take charge of this task.

"Zhou Dong, Yi Zhonghai,

"Director, don't worry," Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai answered in unison. Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai worked overtime in the workshop every day, cooperating with each other to ensure that every link was perfected.

After several days and nights of hard work, Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai finally completed the task.

"Zhou Dong, Yi Zhonghai," Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai answered modestly. The friendship between Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai became even deeper.

Liu Haizhong was jealous of Zhou Dong and often tried to sow discord between them behind his back.

Zhou Dong worked diligently in the factory and won the respect of many colleagues and neighbors. However, not everyone was kind to him. Liu Haizhong was another young man in the courtyard. Although he had a good relationship with Zhou Dong on the surface, he was full of jealousy towards Zhou Dong in his heart.

One night, Liu Haizhong was chatting with a few co-workers at a corner store. He deliberately lowered his voice, with a sinister look in his eyes: "You know what? Zhou Dong has been acting too well lately, as if he's the only one who can do it."

A worker agreed: "Yeah, Zhou Dong has been trying to show off recently. We are almost outshined by him."

Liu Haizhong sneered: "He thinks he is great, but in fact he is nothing special. We have to think of a way to let everyone see his true face."

The next day, Liu Haizhong deliberately mentioned Zhou Dong in front of Yi Zhonghai, trying to sow discord: "Master Yi, Zhou Dong seems to be a little arrogant recently. I heard that he said behind your back that your skills are not as good as his."

Yi Zhonghai frowned, a little unhappy: "Would Zhou Dong say that? I don't believe it."

Liu Haizhong pretended to be helpless: "I also heard it from others. I don't know the details, but Zhou Dong has been very popular in the factory recently."

Yi Zhonghai had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it: "Okay, I'll pay attention to this matter."

In the following days, Zhou Dong found that Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards him seemed to have changed. In the past, Yi Zhonghai always guided him enthusiastically, but recently he became a little cold. Zhou Dong felt a little confused, but he didn't know where the problem was. Zhou Dong went to talk to Yan Bugui and wanted to ask him about his recent situation. Yan Bugui was repairing a chair in the yard. When he saw Zhou Dong coming over, he smiled and asked, "Zhou Dong, I always feel that Master Yi treats me a little differently recently. Do you know what the reason is?" Zhou Dong asked puzzledly.

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Liu Haizhong has been saying a lot of bad things about you behind your back recently. You should be careful."

Zhou Dong was shocked and frowned: "Why did Liu Haizhong do this?"

Yan Bugui sighed: "People's minds are hard to predict. Maybe he is jealous of you. You should be careful and don't let him succeed."

Zhou Dong decided to take the initiative to talk to Yi Zhonghai to solve this mystery. One night, Zhou Dong came to Yi Zhonghai's house and knocked on the door gently. Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw that it was Zhou Dong. He was a little surprised: "Zhou Dong, it's so late, is there something wrong? I want to talk to you." Zhou Dong said directly.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and let Zhou Dong in. The two sat in the living room, and Zhou Dong said, "Master Yi, I feel that your attitude towards me has changed recently. Did I do something to make you unhappy?"

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while, and finally said: "Zhou Dong, I heard you say behind my back that my skills are not as good as yours, is this true?"

Zhou Dong immediately understood everything and quickly explained: "Master Yi, there is absolutely no such thing. I have always respected you and have never said such a thing."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Zhou Dong, his eyes wavering: "Really?"

"Really, Master Yi. I have always regarded you as a role model. How could I say such a thing?" Zhou Dong said sincerely.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, and the clouds on his face gradually dissipated: "Zhou Dong, I believe you. It seems that someone is behind this, so we must be more careful in the future."

After the explanation, Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai's relationship returned to its previous closeness. Zhou Dong decided to find an opportunity to ask Liu Haizhong in person to see what his intentions were.

One day, Zhou Dong found Liu Haizhong in the factory workshop and got straight to the point: "Liu Haizhong, I heard you say bad things about me behind my back. Why did you do that?"

Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, what are you talking about? I have never said anything bad about you."

Zhou Dong looked at him coldly: "Brother Yan has already told me, so stop pretending. Why do you want to do this?"

Liu Haizhong's expression turned a little ugly, and he shrugged: "Well, since you know everything, I won't hide it from you. I just don't like you. Who makes you always want to be in the spotlight?"

Zhou Dong took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Liu Haizhong, we are neighbors and colleagues, why can't we get along well? "Zhou Dong, this is the real world, everyone wants to climb up. You are so naive, sooner or later you will suffer. "

Zhou Dong looked at him and said firmly, "Even so, I will not change my principles. We should help each other, not undermine each other."

Liu Haizhong snorted disdainfully and turned away. Zhou Dong knew that although the conflict was temporarily resolved, Liu Haizhong's jealousy and hostility would not disappear so easily.

Zhou Dong decided to tell Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui what happened and ask them to help find a solution to the problem. One night, Zhou Dong invited Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui to his home. The three of them sat down in the living room and Zhou Dong told them the whole story in detail.

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a while and said, "Zhou Dong, Liu Haizhong's problem is not small, but we can't sit idly by. We have to find a way to resolve his jealousy and make him realize his mistakes." "Yes, Liu Haizhong is still young and some of his ideas are immature. We have to help him."

Zhou Dong looked at the two elders, his heart full of gratitude: "Brother Yan, I am willing to solve this problem with you."

After some discussion, the three decided to adopt a soft and hard approach. First, Zhou Dong decided to take the initiative to show goodwill and try to influence Liu Haizhong with sincerity. At the same time, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui would pay attention to Liu Haizhong's performance in the factory and give correct guidance and criticism in a timely manner.

The next day, Zhou Dong brought some homemade snacks to find Liu Haizhong. When Liu Haizhong saw Zhou Dong, he was a little surprised: "Zhou Dong, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Dong handed over the snack with a smile: "Liu Haizhong, this is the snack I made myself, let me give it to you to try."

Liu Haizhong took the snack somewhat unnaturally and frowned, "Zhou Dong, what are you doing?"

Zhou Dong shook his head and said sincerely: "Liu Haizhong, I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but I really hope that we can get along well. We are also colleagues, and only by helping each other can we make progress together."

Liu Haizhong looked at Zhou Dong, feeling a little shaken, but still unwilling to give in: "Zhou Dong, I don't need your charity."

Zhou Dong did not give up and continued, "Liu Haizhong, people need to trust and understand each other. I hope we can put aside our prejudices and become true friends. Zhou Dong continued to prove his sincerity with his actions. He took the initiative to help Liu Haizhong at work and often cared about his needs in life. Slowly, Liu Haizhong's attitude softened. Liu Haizhong sat alone in the yard, staring at the sky in a daze. Zhou Dong walked over, sat next to him, and asked softly, "Liu Haizhong, how do you feel recently?"

Liu Haizhong sighed and whispered, "Zhou Dong, sometimes I also feel that I am wrong, but I just can't let go of my jealousy."

Zhou Dong patted him on the shoulder and said gently: "Everyone is jealous sometimes. The key is how we face and deal with it. As long as you are willing to change, there is still a chance for everything. There was some emotion in his eyes: "Zhou Dong, thank you for forgiving me. I will work hard to change. Liu Haizhong gradually let go of his prejudice against Zhou Dong, and their relationship began to ease. Once, Liu Haizhong took the initiative to invite Zhou Dong to his home for dinner, and Zhou Dong gladly accepted.

At the dinner table, Liu Haizhong said sincerely: "Zhou Dong, I have done a lot of wrong things in the past.
