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

Zhou Dong waved his hand: "You're welcome, go home and cook."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully and hurried home.

Zhou Dong continued walking forward, and when he passed by Liu Haizhong's yard, he saw Liu Haizhong repairing his bicycle. Liu Haizhong saw Zhou Dong and called out, "Zhou Dong, come and help me, my bicycle chain keeps falling off."

"Okay, Brother Liu, let me take a look and help Liu Haizhong adjust the chain.

"Zhou Dong, you are really good at cooking. You finished it so quickly." Liu Haizhong praised. "It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. Yan Bugui came back from outside with a few steamed buns in his hand. Seeing Zhou Dong and Liu Haizhong together, he smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, Liu Haizhong, what are you two talking about?"

"Zhou Dong is helping me repair my car." Liu Haizhong replied.

Yan Bugui nodded: "Zhou Dong, this kid is really good at cooking."

Zhou Dong smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle Yan, please stop praising me."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth. By the way, Zhou Dong, can you help me fix the door when you have time? The door in my house is not working properly."

"No problem, Uncle Yan, I'll come over after I deliver the furniture." Zhou Dong replied.

After finishing his work on Liu Haizhong's car, Zhou Dong carried his toolbox and went out to the south of the city. On the way, he met Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi.

"Zhou Dong, where are you going?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"South City, delivering furniture." Zhou Dong answered simply.

Jia Zhang glanced at Zhou Dong's toolbox and said, "Zhou Dong, please help me check the doors and windows of my house when you have time. They are always leaking air." "Okay, Aunt Jia, I'll go check it out when I get back in the evening."

Jia Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "Then thank you for your help."

Boss Wang from the south of the city was very satisfied with Zhou Dong's cooking skills. He paid him more than he earned. Zhou Dong was very happy and thought about buying some delicious food in the evening to reward himself and his mother.

When he returned to the compound, it was already late. Zhou Dong first went to Yan Bugui's house to help him fix the door, and then rushed to Jia's house. Jia Zhang was already getting impatient, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhou Dong coming.

"Zhou Dong, you're finally here. These doors and windows are so annoying." Jia Zhang complained.

Zhou Dong smiled and comforted: "Auntie Jia, don't worry, I will fix it right away."

After repairing the doors and windows, it was already late at night. Zhou Dong returned home and his mother was already asleep. He gently put down the toolbox, sat at the table, and looked at the photo of his father hanging on the wall. His father died early, and his mother raised him alone. Zhou Dong was full of gratitude and respect for his mother.

"Dad, I will try my best to make our family live a better life." Zhou Dong said silently in his heart. Qin Huairu came again, looking more haggard than yesterday.

"Zhou Dong, can you lend me some more rice?" Qin Huairu asked in a low voice.

Zhou Dong frowned: "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? Why are you always out of food recently?"

Qin Huairu's tears welled up in her eyes: "Zhou Dong, I really have no choice. My family is in such a difficult situation."

Zhou Dong softened his heart: "Okay, Sister Qin, I'll lend you some more. But you have to find a way, you can't keep going like this."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully: "I understand, Zhou Dong, thank you."

Zhou Dong brought a small bag of rice to Qin Huairu, who thanked him profusely and left. Zhou Dong felt heavy-hearted, as he knew that the plight of Qin Huairu's family could not be solved in a day or two.

That day, Zhou Dong went to Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai asked him to help repair the water pipe in the yard. Zhou Dong chatted with Yi Zhonghai while working.

"Zhou Dong, are you busy recently?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"It's OK, Uncle Yi, there's a lot of work." Zhou Dong replied. "Zhou Dong, you are a good kid with good skills and a good heart. Everyone in the yard likes you." "Uncle Yi, everyone says this, I feel embarrassed."

"To be honest, if you have any difficulties, don't carry them on your own, everyone will help you.

"Thank you Uncle Yi, I'll remember it." Zhou Dong said gratefully.

After repairing the water pipe, Zhou Dong was about to go home when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He went to open the door and saw Bang Geng standing at the door in a panic.

"Brother Zhou Dong, hurry up, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are fighting again!" Bang Geng said hurriedly.

Zhou Dong frowned: "What happened to them?"

"It seems to be about dividing the family property. Brother Zhou Dong, you should go and take a look!" Bang Geng pulled Zhou Dong to Liu Guangtian's house.

When they arrived at the scene, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were already fighting fiercely. People in the yard were watching, but no one dared to step forward to stop the fight. Zhou Dong looked at the two of them and sighed inwardly.

"Stop it!" Zhou Dong shouted loudly.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stopped and looked at Zhou Dong with angry expressions on their faces.

"Zhou Dong, you came at the right time. Tell me about him. Does this guy still have any conscience?" Liu Guangtian said angrily.

"Zhou Dong, don't listen to his nonsense. He was the first to start the fight!" Liu Guangfu refused to give in.

Zhou Dong stood between the two men and said calmly, "We are all brothers. Can't we talk it out peacefully? Do we have to fight?"

"Zhou Dong, he is just going too far!" Liu Guangtian pointed at Liu Guangfu.

"Zhou Dong, I didn't bully him, he is just stingy!" Liu Guangfu retorted.

Zhou Dong frowned: "Guangtian, Guangfu, you two brothers, don't quarrel over trivial matters. Only when everyone is harmonious can we make money."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu glared at each other and finally stopped arguing.

"Zhou Dong, you are right. We brothers shouldn't quarrel over these trivial matters." Liu Guangtian sighed.

"Yes, Zhou Dong, we all listen to you." Liu Guangfu also nodded. "That's good, live a good life and don't let outsiders laugh at you."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu finally reconciled, and everyone left. Zhou Dong looked at them and felt a little comforted.

In the evening, Zhou Dong returned home and his mother was cooking. Zhou Dong walked over and helped his mother with the cooking.

"Mom, Qin Huairu came to borrow food again today." Zhou Dong said.

The mother sighed: "She is also a poor person, Zhou Dong, you can help her if you can." "Yes, I know, Mom."

The mother smiled and said: "You have a good heart, and you will be rewarded in the future."

周东

Yan Bugui and Zhou Dong compete with each other at work.

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui gradually established a deep friendship in the slums of Old Beijing, but the beginning of this relationship originated from a work competition.

"Zhou Dong, I heard that you took a big job?" Yan Bugui asked with a smile when he met Zhou Dong at the alley in the morning.

"Yes, Uncle Yan, Mr. Li from the south of the city wants to order a batch of furniture.

Yan Bugui frowned, feeling a little unhappy: "Zhou Dong, I've also been involved in this job, but it's a pity that they chose you in the end."

Zhou Dong heard the helplessness in Yan Bugui's words and said hurriedly: "Uncle Yan, your skills are also good. Maybe they are more accustomed to my style."

Yan Bugui patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder and said, "Young man, work hard and don't let this trust down." "Of course, Uncle Yan." The competition between Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui gradually emerged. One day, when Zhou Dong was repairing the water pipe in the yard, Yan Bugui came over.

"Zhou Dong, I want to talk to you about something." Yan Bugui went straight to the point.

"Uncle Yan, please go ahead." Zhou Dong stopped what he was doing and looked at Yan Bugui seriously.

"Do you know? There is a big project recently, which is to renovate the old theater in the city, and I have also been involved in it." Yan Bugui said hesitantly.

"Uncle Yan, this is a good thing, we can all participate.

Yan Bugui shook his head: "No, this job can only be done by one person, how about we work together?"

Zhou Dong's heart was moved. He had always admired Yan Bugui's craftsmanship. If the two of them worked together, they would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. "Okay, Uncle Yan, I'm willing to work with you."

Therefore, the two began the first step of cooperation, first going to the old theater to inspect the scene together. Yan Bugui is experienced, while Zhou Dong is young and strong, and the two complement each other.

"Zhou Dong, look at this wall, all these woods need to be replaced." Yan Bugui said, pointing to a corner of the theater.

"Yes, Uncle Yan, we have to find the best wood and can't be careless." Zhou Dong nodded in agreement.

After a few days of hard work, the project gradually got on track. One night, Zhou Dong was busy in the yard when Yan Bugui came over and handed him a bottle of wine.

"Zhou Dong, you've worked hard, shall we have a drink?

"Okay, Uncle Yan," Zhou Dong took the wine and the two started chatting in the yard.

"Zhou Dong, you have really good skills. I was a little worried before, but now I think it's right for us to work together." Yan Bugui said with emotion.

"Uncle Yan, you are very experienced and I have learned a lot from you." Zhou Dong said modestly.

As they chatted, their feelings grew deeper. One day, Qin Huairu came to Zhou Dong to borrow food again. Zhou Dong was not at home, and Yan Bugui saw it by chance.

"Qin Huairu, why are you here to borrow grain again?" Yan Bugui asked with a frown.

"Uncle Yan, our family is really short of money, and Brother Zhou Dong always lends me some rice." Qin Huairu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Yan Bugui sighed: "Wait a minute, I still have some food at home, I'll give it to you first."

Qin Huairu took the food gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Yan, thank you so much. When Zhou Dong learned about this, he respected Yan Bugui even more. One day, when the two were resting while repairing the theater, Zhou Dong mentioned this matter.

"Uncle Yan, I heard that you helped Qin Huairu. Thank you so much." Zhou Dong said sincerely.

"Zhou Dong, it's nothing," Yan Bugui waved his hand.

"Uncle Yan, you are such a nice person." Zhou Dong felt warm in his heart.

As the project progressed, Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui became closer. One day, the two were busy on the construction site when they heard a quarrel outside the theater.

"Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan, come and help!" Bang Geng ran in hurriedly.

"Bang Geng, what's wrong?" asked.

"Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are fighting again over the division of the family property." Bang Geng said breathlessly.

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui looked at each other and ran out quickly. When they arrived at the scene, they saw Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu fighting fiercely, and people in the yard were watching. "Yan Bugui shouted loudly. Looking at Yan Bugui and Zhou Dong.

"Uncle Yan, Brother Zhou Dong, please judge for yourself, he stole my things!
