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

Zhou Dong was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and was just about to take a rest when he suddenly heard a quarrel in the yard. He ran over to see that Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhangshi were quarreling again.

"Look at you, you can start a quarrel over such a small matter!" Liu Haizhong said angrily.

"I'm arguing? You're the one being unreasonable!" Jia Zhang refused to give in. She advised: "Brother Liu, Aunt Jia, if you have anything to say, talk it over and stop arguing."

"Zhou Dong, please be fair, he said bad things about me!" Jia Zhang pointed at Liu Haizhong.

"Zhou Dong, listen to this, she is really unreasonable!" Liu Haizhong was not to be outdone.

Zhou Dong smiled helplessly: "We are all neighbors, do we have to quarrel?"

Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhang glared at each other.

"Zhou Dong, you are right, let's not argue anymore." Liu Haizhong sighed.

"Yes, Zhou Dong, we will listen to you." Jia Zhang also nodded.

Zhou Dong looked at them, his face looking a little haggard at this time.

"Zhou Dong,

Zhou Dong frowned: “Sister Qin,” Zhou Dong, “Okay, Sister Qin, Zhou Dong, thank you. He knew that Qin Huairu’s predicament could not be solved in a day or two.

A few days later, Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui received a large order. Zhou Dong knew that

"Uncle Yan," Zhou Dong asked.

So, although it was hard,

"Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan,

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

"stop!

"Uncle Yan, Brother Zhou Dong, said calmly:

"Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan," Liu

Yi Zhonghai admired Zhou Dong's craftsmanship.

Zhou Dong's days in the slums of the old city were busy and fulfilling. Every weekend, he would get up early and ride his bicycle to the east city to buy rice cakes. One morning, he went out early as usual, riding his bicycle happily, thinking about how many rice cakes he would buy today.

After arriving at the rice cake shop, Zhou Dong skillfully picked out a few rice cakes. The boss smiled and asked, "Zhou Dong, are you here to buy rice cakes again? Boss, my mother likes them too."

After buying rice cakes, Zhou Dong was riding his bike home when he suddenly saw Yi Zhonghai standing on the side of the road, seemingly waiting for someone. Zhou Dong quickly stopped his bike and walked over to greet him: "Uncle Yi, why are you here?"

"Zhou Dong, I'm glad to meet you. I have some work to do at home recently and I would like to ask for your help." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Uncle Yi, no matter what job you ask for, I will definitely help." Zhou Dong agreed readily.

"There are some old furniture at home that need to be repaired. Do you have time to help me take a look? Uncle Yi, I'll go back with you to take a look." Zhou Dong said, and returned to his home with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's home is a typical quadrangle layout, with several jujube trees planted in the yard, which looks very lively. Zhou Dong followed Yi Zhonghai into the house and saw the furniture that needed to be repaired.

"Zhou Dong, look at these chairs and this table. They are quite old. Please help me fix them." Yi Zhonghai said, pointing at the furniture.

Zhou Dong checked it carefully and nodded: "No problem, Uncle Yi, these are all trivial matters."

Zhou Dong took out his tools and started to work. Yi Zhonghai sat beside him, looking at Zhou Dong with a smile and occasionally saying a few words.

"Zhou Dong, you did it quickly and well." Yi Zhonghai said admiringly.

"Uncle Yi, you are too kind. This is all the experience I have accumulated over time.

"You are not only a skilled craftsman, but also a genuine person. Everyone likes you." Yi Zhonghai continued to praise.

Zhou Dong smiled as he worked and said, "Uncle Yi, I feel a little embarrassed when you praise me like that."

After working for most of the day, Zhou Dong finally fixed the furniture. Yi Zhonghai patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Zhou Dong, you've worked hard. Please stay for dinner tonight."

"Uncle Yi, I have some things to do at home." Zhou Dong declined.

"Zhou Dong, you're welcome. You've helped me so much today, you must stay for dinner." Yi Zhonghai insisted.

Zhou Dong couldn't persuade Yi Zhonghai, so he had to agree. In the evening, Yi Zhonghai personally cooked a table of delicious dishes, and he felt warm in his heart.

"Zhou Dong, come and eat more. This is your favorite braised pork." Yi Zhonghai greeted him warmly. The dishes you cook are really delicious. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, feeling particularly satisfied.

After dinner, Zhou Dong and Yi Zhonghai sat in the yard and chatted. Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and said slowly: "Zhou Dong, you know what? When I was young, I was just like you, making a living by my craft. Your craft must be very good." Zhou Dong said seriously.

"Yes, I was just like you at that time, young and energetic, working hard, and living a fulfilling life." Yi Zhonghai sighed.

"Uncle Yi, I hope I can be like you in the future." Zhou Dong's heart was full of admiration.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, you will do better than me. I believe in you."

Since then, Yi Zhonghai often invited Zhou Dong to his home, and the two gradually became close friends regardless of age difference. Every time Zhou Dong went to Yi Zhonghai's home, he could always learn a lot.

One day, Zhou Dong was busy at home when he heard someone knocking on the door. Zhou Dong went to open the door and saw Qin Huairu standing at the door.

"Zhou Dong,

Zhou Dong frowned: “Sister Qin,” Zhou Dong, “Okay, Sister Qin, Zhou Dong, thank you. He knew,

A few days later, Zhou Dong found out.

"Uncle Yan," Zhou Dong asked.

So, although it was hard,

"Brother Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan,

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

"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, you say.

"Uncle Yan, "No, two

Liu Haizhong was jealous of Zhou Dong.

Zhou Dong's days in the compound continued, busy but fulfilling every day. However, Liu Haizhong was jealous of Zhou Dong and always sowed discord behind his back, adding a lot of twists and turns to Zhou Dong's life. Zhou Dong had just returned from buying rice cakes in Dongcheng when he heard a quarrel in the yard. Zhou Dong stopped and walked over to see what was going on. He saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui arguing about something.

"Brother Liu, Uncle Yan, what are you arguing about?" Zhou Dong asked with concern.

"Zhou Dong, you came at the right time. Tell me, is Uncle Yan biased?" Liu Haizhong said angrily.

"Brother Liu, where do you get this from? Uncle Yan has always been fair and just." Zhou Dong asked with a frown.

"Don't you know? I originally had the opportunity to take that recent big order, but Uncle Yan only recommended you!" Liu Haizhong said dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Dong was stunned for a moment, "Brother Liu, I don't know about this. However, we are all working hard for a living, there is no need to be hostile to each other." Liu Haizhong, what you said is wrong. I recommended Zhou Dong because his craftsmanship is really good. You also have many opportunities, why do you have to provoke like this? "You two are singing the same tune, I think nothing I say will be of any use." After saying that, he turned around and walked away angrily.

Zhou Dong looked at Yan Bugui helplessly: "Uncle Yan, Brother Liu is a narrow-minded person, please don't take it to heart."

Yan Bugui shook his head: "Zhou Dong, you have to be careful, Liu Haizhong might trip you up."

"I understand, Uncle Yan.

A few days later, Zhou Dong was busy repairing the water pipe in the yard. Qin Huairu hurried over and said, "Zhou Dong, Liu Haizhong just came to my house and said that you said bad things about me behind my back. My heart sank. "Sister Qin, I never said bad things about you. Brother Liu is trying to sow discord between us."

Qin Huairu frowned: "But Liu Haizhong said it in a very concise manner, and I actually believed it a little. I swear to God, I have never said anything bad about you. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people in the yard.

Qin Huairu looked into Zhou Dong's eyes and finally nodded: "Zhou Dong, I believe you. Liu Haizhong is really too much."

Zhou Dong sighed helplessly: "Sister Qin, don't worry, I won't say bad things about anyone behind their back. We are all neighbors, and we should help each other."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai walked over from outside the yard, saw Zhou Dong and Qin Huairu, and greeted them with a smile: "Zhou Dong, Sister Qin, what are you talking about? Liu Haizhong is instigating discord behind my back, saying that Zhou Dong is saying bad things about me behind my back." Qin Huairu said angrily.

Yi Zhonghai frowned: "Liu Haizhong is getting more and more outrageous. Zhou Dong, ignore him. I know you are a good person."

“Thank you, Uncle Yi, I will be careful.

A few days later, Zhou Dong was repairing an old-fashioned chair and lowered his voice to say, "Zhou Dong, I heard that Liu Haizhong was talking bad about you behind your back again. This time he said that you stole his tools."

When Zhou Dong heard this, he felt nervous: "Uncle Yan, I have to go to Liu Haizhong to talk things over in person. I can't let him frame me like this again." "I'll go with you. It'll be good to have a witness."

The two walked to Liu Haizhong's door together, and Zhou Dong knocked on the door. When Liu Haizhong opened the door and saw that it was them, his face looked a little unnatural.

"Zhou Dong, Uncle Yan, what's the matter?" Liu Haizhong asked calmly.

"Brother Liu, I heard you said outside that I stole your tools. This matter needs to be clarified." Zhou Dong said bluntly.

Liu Haizhong sneered: "Zhou Dong, you are a dirty man, are you afraid of what I say?"

Zhou Dong said angrily: "Brother Liu, you can't wrongly accuse me like this! I have never touched your tools!"

Yan Bugui said, "Liu Haizhong, Zhou Dong is a child I watched grow up. He can't possibly steal your things. You must have evidence, otherwise don't talk nonsense."

His eyes flickered in his bangs, and he was obviously feeling guilty: “I… I just heard it from others.”

Zhou Dong said calmly: "Brother Liu, you can't just believe everything you hear. Spreading rumors like this will hurt people."

Liu Haizhong snorted: "Whatever you say, I'm putting my words here anyway."

Zhou Dong shook his head helplessly, and left Liu Haizhong's house with Yan Bugui. Back in the yard,

"Zhou Dong, don't take it to heart. Liu Haizhong is a petty person, and everyone knows that you are a good person." Yan Bugui comforted him.

"Uncle Yan, I know, but I still feel bad being wronged like this.

A few days later, Zhou Dong was repairing an old window when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Bang Geng running over.
