"I didn't steal it, you put it here yourself!

Zhou Dong stepped forward and said calmly:

"Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan, you are right.

"Yes, Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan, we will listen to you and stop quarreling.

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui smiled with satisfaction. Zhou Dong looked at Yan Bugui.

In the evening, Zhou Dong returned home and walked over.

"Mom, Uncle Yan and I worked together to resolve the quarrel between Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu today." Zhou Dong said.

His mother smiled and said, "You two are a great pair. Everyone says you work well together. Mom, Uncle Yan is very experienced and I have learned a lot from him." Zhou Dong nodded. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui established a deep friendship during their cooperation. One day, Zhou Dong was busy repairing the water pipe in the yard.

"Zhou Dong,

"Uncle Yan, you say.

"Uncle Yan," "No," "Okay, Uncle Yan,"

then,

"Zhou Dong, look at this wall.

"Yes, Uncle Yan, we can't be careless. One night,

"Zhou Dong, thank you for your hard work.

"Okay, Uncle Yan,

"Zhou Dong, you kid,

"Uncle Yan, one day,

"Qinhuai

Zhou Dong loves rice cakes and rides his bike to buy them every week.

In the slums of Sijiucheng, every weekend, Zhou Dong would get up early and ride his bicycle to Dongcheng to buy his favorite rice cakes. Zhou Dong has loved rice cakes since he was a child, especially the rice cakes from the time-honored Dongcheng store, which are soft, sweet, and taste special. Zhou Dong just came out of the house when Qin Huairu came to meet him. It was obvious that she didn't sleep well last night.

"Zhou Dong, are you going out?" Qin Huairu greeted.

“Yes, Sister Qin, I’m going to Dongcheng to buy some rice cakes.

Qin Huairu frowned and said a little embarrassedly: "Zhou Dong, could you please bring me some rice? The rice jar at home is empty."

Zhou Dong's heart softened, thinking about the difficulties of Qin Huairu's family, and nodded: "No problem, Sister Qin, I will bring it back to you later."

"Thank you, Zhou Dong." Qin Huairu said gratefully.

Riding on his bicycle, Zhou Dong thought about Qin Huairu's predicament all the way, and his heart was heavy. He knew that Qin Huairu's husband died early, leaving her alone with several children, and life was indeed not easy. When he arrived in Dongcheng, Zhou Dong first went to the rice cake shop and bought a few rice cakes, and then went to the grain store to buy some rice.

"Zhou Dong, why are you buying so much today?" asked the owner of the rice cake shop with a smile.

"Yes, Boss, this rice cake is really delicious. I'll take it back for my mother to try.

After shopping, Zhou Dong rode his bike back to the compound. As soon as he entered the compound, Yan Bugui came to meet him.

"Zhou Dong, are you going to buy rice cakes again today?" Yan Bugui asked with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle Yan, this rice cake is really delicious. What a filial child."

"Uncle Yan, thank you for the compliment." Then he sent the rice he bought to Qin Huairu's house.

"Sister Qin, I bought the rice for you." Zhou Dong handed the rice to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu took the rice, her eyes full of gratitude: "Zhou Dong,"

"You're welcome, Sister Qin, let's help each other." Zhou Dong waved his hand.

As soon as he returned home, Zhou Dong saw Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi standing in the yard, seemingly waiting for him. Zhou Dong walked over and said hello: "Auntie Jia, Brother Dongxu, do you have anything to talk to me about?"

Jia Zhang frowned and said, "Zhou Dong, our door lock is broken, can you help us fix it?"

"Of course, Aunt Jia," Zhou Dong put down what he was holding and followed them to Jia's house.

The Jia family's door lock was indeed badly damaged. Zhou Dong checked it carefully and said, "This door lock needs to be replaced with a new one. I'll go to the street and buy a new one later."

"Zhou Dong, thank you so much for your help." Jia Dongxu said gratefully.

"It's okay, Brother Dongxu, wait for me for a while." He turned and walked out.

On the way, Zhou Dong ran into Liu Haizhong. Seeing Zhou Dong, he immediately stopped him and said, "Zhou Dong, are you free? My bicycle is broken again, can you help me fix it?"

“Brother Liu, the door lock of the Jia family is broken. I have to go buy a new lock first, and then I will come over to help you fix the car.

"Okay, Zhou Dong, you go and do your work first, I'll wait for you." Liu Haizhong nodded helplessly.

Zhou Dong bought a new door lock, returned to Jia's house, and skillfully replaced the door lock, then rushed to Liu Haizhong's house to help him repair his bicycle. Liu Haizhong looked at the repaired bicycle and said with satisfaction: "Zhou Dong, thank you."

"It's okay, Brother Liu, these are just small matters.

After finishing all these things, Zhou Dong finally had time to go home. As soon as he entered the door, his mother came up to him with a smile: "Zhou Dong, Mom, I bought you a few pieces." Zhou Dong took out the rice cake from the bag and handed it to his mother.

The mother took the rice cake with a smile on her face: "Zhou Dong, you are such a filial child." "Mom, you have worked hard. This rice cake is my gift to you."

The mother smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, I'll go boil some hot water and we'll eat together."

In the evening, Zhou Dong and his mother sat in the yard, eating rice cakes and chatting. Neighbors in the yard also came to join in the fun. Zhou Dong shared the rice cakes with everyone, and everyone shared the sweetness together.

"Zhou Dong," Yan Bugui praised.

“Yes, Uncle Yan, this rice cake is from the old brand in East City, it’s really delicious.

“Zhou Dong, you go buy rice cakes every week,” Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Everyone likes to eat it, so I thought about buying more.

In the evening, everyone ate rice cakes and chatted. Zhou Dong looked at his neighbors and felt extremely warm in his heart.

A few days later, Zhou Dong received a large order to make a batch of furniture for a wealthy family in the north of the city. Zhou Dong knew that this was a big job that would require a lot of time and energy, so he found Yan Bugui and wanted to ask him for help.

"Uncle Yan, I got a big order, can you help me with it?" Zhou Dong asked. "Of course, Zhou Dong,"

So Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui started their intense work. They were busy on the construction site during the day and had to work overtime at night. Although it was hard work, the two of them cooperated well and the work progressed smoothly. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui were busy on the construction site when they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. The two put down their work and ran out to see what was going on.

"Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan," Bang Geng ran over hurriedly.

"Bang Geng, what happened?" Zhou Dong asked. He ran over quickly. When he arrived at the scene,

"stop!

"Uncle Yan, Brother Zhou Dong, said calmly:

"Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan,

"Yes, Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan,

In the evening, Zhou Dong returned home and walked over.

"Mom," Zhou Dong said. Mom, one day,

"Zhou Dong,

"Uncle Yan,

One day Zhou Dong passed by a store and found a piece of clothing that was exactly the same as the one his mother wore when he was a child.

Zhou Dong's day started again. He lived in the slum of Sijiu City and was busy as usual. The weather was particularly good today, with bright sunshine and a gentle breeze. Zhou Dong decided to take advantage of his break to go to Dongcheng to see if there were any fresh rice cakes.

Zhou Dong rode his bicycle happily through the streets of the old city. Suddenly, when he passed by a small shop, he was attracted by a piece of clothing in the window. It was an old-fashioned blue floral cotton jacket, almost exactly the same as the one his mother wore when he was a child.

"This coat..." Zhou Dong muttered to himself, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. When he was a child, his mother always wore that cotton-padded jacket to cook for him, wash his clothes, and mend his clothes. The coat had been worn out for a long time, but it carried too many memories and warmth.

Zhou Dong walked into the store. The owner was a kind middle-aged woman. When she saw Zhou Dong coming in, she smiled and asked, "Young man, what do you want to buy?"

"Madam, how much is this cotton-padded jacket?" Zhou Dong asked, pointing at the clothes in the window.

The lady boss smiled and said, "Oh, this one is a new item that just arrived in our store. It's not expensive, 20 yuan."

Zhou Dong looked at the clothes, touched the money in his pocket, and thought about it: "Okay, boss lady, I'll buy it."

After paying, Zhou Dong carefully packed the jacket and put it in the basket of his bicycle. He knew that his mother would be very happy to see this jacket. Zhou Dong couldn't wait to run home and handed the jacket to his mother who was cooking: "Mom, look, what I bought for you!"

The mother took the cotton-padded jacket, with a hint of surprise and emotion in her eyes: "Zhou Dong, this... isn't this the one I used to have? Mom, I saw it in Dongcheng and thought it looked very similar to the one you used to have, so I bought it for you.

The mother stroked the cotton-padded jacket, her eyes moistened: "Zhou Dong, you, child, help your mother cook. After dinner, they talked about their childhood. When the mother wore the cotton-padded jacket, she seemed to have returned to the past.

At this time, seeing Zhou Dong and his mother, he came over with a smile and said, "Zhou Dong, what good news is going on today? You two look so happy." "Uncle Yan, I bought my mother a new cotton-padded jacket, exactly the same as her old one."

Yan Bugui looked at the cotton-padded jacket and nodded: "Zhou Dong, you are a very filial child. You are too kind. This is what I should do." Zhou Dong replied modestly.

"By the way, Zhou Dong, an old neighbor is moving tomorrow and asked if we can go and help." Yan Bugui suddenly remembered something.

"Of course, Uncle Yan, when do we set off?" Zhou Dong agreed readily.

"I'll call you at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning," Yan Bugui said. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui set out on time to help their old neighbor move. Along the way, the two talked and laughed, and were in a particularly good mood.

When they arrived at the old neighbor's house, they found that they had quite a lot of stuff. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui rolled up their sleeves and started working without saying anything. The old neighbor was an old man in his sixties. Seeing Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui working so hard, he was so moved that he cried.

"Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my old bones wouldn't be able to move these things." The old man said gratefully.

"Thank you, old man. It's my duty to help you.

After working all morning, they finally finished moving everything. The old man held Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui's hands and kept thanking them.

"Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan, you are really good people." The old man sighed. Don't worry, after moving, if you need any help in the future, you can always contact us." Yan Bugui also said with a smile.
