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

Zhou Dong smiled and touched Banggeng's head, "Yes, Banggeng, did you eat well today?" "Yes, I listened to my mother today."

Qin Huairu looked at Zhou Dong with a smile on her face. "Zhou Dong, come and sit down. The dishes are ready." He had dinner with Qin Huairu and her family. At the table, everyone was chatting. Zhou Dong found that although Qin Huairu's life was difficult, she still maintained an optimistic attitude, which made him admire her very much. It's not easy for you to take care of the children alone. If you need any help, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can.

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Thank you, Zhou Dong. It's my blessing to have a neighbor like you."

After dinner, Zhou Dong said goodbye to Qin Huairu and her family and returned to his room. He lay on the bed, thinking about what happened today, and felt very satisfied that he could help someone like Qin Huairu.

A few days later, Zhou Dong saw Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang quarreling in the yard. He walked over to find out what was going on. "What happened?" Zhou Dong asked.

Yan Bugui said angrily: "Mrs. Jia Zhang insisted that I had too much rice at home and asked me to lend her some. I am also in a tight spot, so how can I have extra rice?"

Jia Zhang refused to give in, "You just won't help! Zhou Dong, please say something fair!"

Zhou Dong thought for a moment and said, "Bugui is rich, and Jia Zhang's family is not doing well either. How about this? I still have some rice here. I'll lend it to Jia Zhang first, and we can talk about it later when everyone has recovered."

Although Yan Bugui was somewhat reluctant, he could not object any more, "Okay, I'll listen to Zhou Dong."

Zhou Dong lent the rice to Jia Zhang. Although Jia Zhang did not say it, she was very grateful to Zhou Dong in her heart.

At night, Zhou Dong returned to the house and was about to rest when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Liu Guangtian.

"Zhou Dong, I want to discuss something with you." Liu Guangtian looked a little anxious.

"Come in and tell me what's making you so anxious?" Zhou Dong asked Liu Guangtian to come into the house and poured him a glass of water.

Liu Guangtian sat down and took a sip of water. "Zhou Dong, my family has encountered some difficulties recently, and I want to borrow some rice. He has been borrowing rice one after another recently, and his own food reserves are running low. But seeing Liu Guangtian's anxious look, he still agreed, "Okay, you take it first for emergency use."

Liu Guangtian was very grateful, "Zhou Dong, you are such a good person. I will definitely pay you back when I recover. "You don't have to be so polite,"

Liu Guangtian took the rice and left contentedly. Zhou Dong looked at the gradually empty rice jar and felt a little worried, but he still felt that helping others was the right choice.

In the following days, Zhou Dong continued to live an ordinary life in the yard. One day, he was watering flowers in the yard when he suddenly heard a cry. He hurried over and saw Xiao Yan'er fell to the ground with blood on her knees. Qin Huairu was holding her anxiously, not knowing what to do. "Don't worry, I'll come and see." Zhou Dong hurried forward to check Xiao Yan'er's injuries, "It's okay, just a scratch. I have some medicine at home, I'll get it and apply it to her."

Zhou Dong quickly returned to the house, took out the medicine box, and carefully treated Xiao Yan'er's wound. Qin Huairu looked at him gratefully, "Zhou Dong, if it weren't for you,"

Zhou Dong smiled gently, "Sister Huairu, don't be polite, this is nothing."

With Zhou Dong's help, Xiaoyan'er's injury recovered quickly. Qin Huairu's gratitude to Zhou Dong deepened. Every time she saw him, she couldn't help but say a few more words of thanks. Zhou Dong was reading in the room when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door. It was Liu Haizhong.

"Zhou Dong, it's bad, there's a fire in the yard!" Liu Haizhong said anxiously.

Zhou Dong immediately followed Liu Haizhong to the yard and saw that Yan Bugui's kitchen was on fire and the fire had spread. The neighbors in the yard were busy putting out the fire, and Zhou Dong quickly joined in, picked up a bucket, and desperately poured water into the fire.

After everyone's efforts, the fire was finally under control. Yan Bugui looked at the burnt kitchen and cried bitterly. Zhou Dong walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Bugui, don't be sad. You can buy more if the things are burned. It's good that no one is hurt." His eyes were full of gratitude, "Zhou Dong, if it weren't for your help, the consequences would be disastrous."

Zhou Dong smiled and shook his head, "We are all family."

A few days after the fire, Zhou Dong and his neighbors helped Yan Bugui rebuild the kitchen, which soon looked brand new. Yan Bugui was so moved that he didn't know what to do, and praised Zhou Dong to everyone he met. Zhou Dong's life in the courtyard became more and more fulfilling. He felt the love between neighbors and tried his best to help everyone in need. But he felt that such days were full of meaning.

One day, Zhou Dong was exercising in the yard when he suddenly saw a stranger walking into the yard. The man looked around, as if he was looking for something. Zhou Dong walked over and asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

The stranger was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'm looking for Qin Huairu, she is my old friend." "Her house is just ahead, I'll take you there."

He brought the stranger to Qin Huairu's door and knocked. Qin Huairu opened the door and exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Zhang,"

Brother Zhang smiled and said, "I came to see you. We haven't been in touch for years. I heard that you are not doing well, so I came here specially.

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

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui work in a machinery factory. Their work contents overlap a lot, which makes them inevitably become competitors. Although they usually have a good relationship in the yard, the competition between them is real at work.

On this day, Zhou Dong was busy debugging a new machine in the factory. Yan Bugui came over, stood behind him, and looked at what he was doing.

"Zhou Dong, how are you debugging?

"It's not quite done yet, but it should be ready soon." Zhou Dong replied without even looking up.

"We have to work harder, because the boss will come to inspect this machine this afternoon.

Zhou Dong stopped his work and turned to look at Yan Bugui, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He knew what Yan Bugui was hinting at, but he still smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll get it done."

In the afternoon, the factory leaders came as expected, and Yan Bugui was also watching. Zhou Dong calmly operated the machine and carefully reported the progress of the machine's debugging to the leaders. In the end, the machine passed the acceptance smoothly, and the leaders spoke highly of Zhou Dong's work.

"Well done, Zhou Dong. Your work attitude and ability are worthy of recognition." The factory director patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder.

Yan Bugui looked at Zhou Dong, feeling somewhat unconvinced, but he had to admit that Zhou Dong was indeed quite capable.

When Zhou Dong returned to the courtyard at night, he was about to enter the house when Yan Bugui suddenly came over and said, "Zhou Dong, you performed very well today."

Zhou Dong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, you are not bad either."

"Let's have a drink together sometime and chat." Yan Bugui suggested. "Okay, I also have something to say to you."

The two of them came to the small teahouse in the yard, ordered a few beers, and found a corner to sit down. After taking a sip of the wine, Yan Bugui was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Zhou Dong, in fact, I always think that we should be friends, not competitors. He smiled, "I think so too. Competition at work is inevitable, but in life we ​​are still neighbors and friends. Let go of the grudges in your heart, "That's good, let's cooperate more at work in the future and help each other, how about it?"

"Of course. "Cheers to our friendship!"

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp, and the barriers in their hearts also dissipated.

From that day on, Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui began to cooperate and help each other in their work. Whenever they encountered difficulties, they always stood together and faced them together.

One day, the factory received an urgent task to complete a batch of important parts in a short time. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui were designated as the leaders of this task. The two led the team to work overtime and strive to speed up the work.

“Zhou Dong, this mission is time-sensitive and the task is heavy, so we have to cooperate well.

“No problem, we will be able to complete the task on time.

After several days and nights of hard work, everyone finally completed the task before the deadline. The leaders praised their performance and Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui became star employees in the factory.

"Zhou Dong, this time it's all thanks to you, if it weren't for you," Yan Bugui said gratefully. This is all thanks to everyone, without your help, I couldn't have done it alone.

In the evening, the two sat in the yard and chatted. Yan Bugui suddenly asked: "Zhou Dong,"

Zhou Dong was silent for a while, then said, "I want to continue working in the factory and learn more. Maybe I can have a bigger career in the future."

"It's a good idea for you to have this idea, and I support you. "Let's work together to make our lives better."

Zhou Dong looked at Yan Bugui and knew that he could not achieve such results in the factory without Yan Bugui's help and support. The factory decided to hold a skills competition to select outstanding employees. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui both signed up for the competition and became the main competitors in the competition.

On the day of the competition, the factory was bustling with activity, and everyone came to watch. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui were standing on the field, feeling a little nervous.

"Zhou Dong, come on!" Yan Bugui said to Zhou Dong.

“You too,” Zhou Dong responded.

The competition started, Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui both tried their best to show their skills. After a fierce competition, Zhou Dong won the competition with a slight advantage.

"Zhou Dong, congratulations! Sincerely.

"Thank you, Brother Yan, you are great too." Zhou Dong responded gratefully. The factory held an award ceremony for Zhou Dong, and the leaders spoke highly of his performance. Yan Bugui stood aside and was happy for Zhou Dong.

"Zhou Dong, you will definitely have greater development in the future." Yan Bugui said sincerely.

In the evening, Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui sat in the yard again. Zhou Dong looked at the starry sky, his heart full of hope and longing.
