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

Zhou Dong thought for a moment and said, "I like to do some carpentry work, and sometimes I like to ride my bike out to see the outside world."

"Zhou Dong, you are such a romantic person." Yan Bugui said with a smile.

Liu Guangtian also nodded. "Yes, Zhou Dong, your life is really colorful. You just like to make things by hand. In life, you have to find some fun."

When Zhou Dong returned home at night, he felt very satisfied thinking about the chats he had with everyone during the day. He liked this simple and fulfilling life, where neighbors cared for and helped each other, which made him feel that he was not alone.

A few days later, Yi Zhonghai invited Zhou Dong to his home again. Zhou Dong readily agreed and brought some small wooden products he made as gifts.

"Zhou Dong, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." Yi Zhonghai exclaimed as he looked at the small wooden products.

"Uncle Yi, I did this when I had nothing to do.

"I like it, of course I like it." Yi Zhonghai said happily, "Zhou Dong, you can come to my place often when you are free, and we can do some carpentry work together."

"Okay, Uncle Yi, I will come often. Zhou Dong often went to Yi Zhonghai's house. The two did carpentry work together, learned from each other's skills, and their relationship became closer and closer.

One day, Zhou Dong was busy working in the factory when he suddenly received a call from Qin Huairu, saying that Xiao Yaner was sick. Zhou Dong quickly put down his work and saw Qin Huairu holding Xiao Yaner with a worried look on her face. Zhou Dong asked, "Sister Huairu, what happened to Xiao Yaner?"

“She had a fever, and I didn’t know what to do by myself.

"Don't worry, I'll take Xiaoyan to the hospital.

Zhou Dong picked up Xiao Yan'er. Xiao Yan'er just had a common cold and would get better after taking some medicine. She said gratefully: "Zhou Dong, if it weren't for you,"

"Sister Huairu,

After returning from the hospital, Zhou Dong stayed with Qin Huairu until Xiao Yaner's condition improved.

One day, "Zhou Dong," OK, on ​​the way,

"Yes,"

Liu Haizhong was jealous of Zhou Dong.

Zhou Dong never likes to fight with others and always values ​​peace, but some things are beyond his control. Recently, Zhou Dong felt that his neighbor Liu Haizhong was a little cold to him, and sometimes even when they met in the yard, Liu Haizhong was also indifferent. This made Zhou Dong a little confused, but he didn't think much about it and just continued to be busy with his work and life.

One day, Zhou Dong was busy debugging a new machine in the factory. "Zhou Dong, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter, Brother Yan?" Zhou Dong put down the tools in his hands and looked up at Yan Bugui.

"I heard that Liu Haizhong has been saying bad things about you behind your back recently, saying that you rely on your skills to always steal the limelight from others, and that you are close to the leaders in the factory and have a somewhat...inappropriate relationship." Yan Bugui said with a frown.

Zhou Dong felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He didn't understand why Liu Haizhong said this to him, but he knew that he had to face this problem. "Brother Yan, these are not true. I have never done such a thing."

Yan Bugui patted his shoulder and said, "I know you are innocent, but you have to be careful. Liu Haizhong is a narrow-minded person. Your good reputation cannot be ruined by him." "Thank you for reminding me, Brother Yan. I will take care of it."

That night, Zhou Dong ran into Liu Haizhong in the yard. Although he felt a little unhappy, he still took the initiative to greet him: "Haizhong, what are you busy with today?"

Liu Haizhong glanced at him coldly, "Zhou Dong, you are so capable, do you still need to ask me?" He was more certain of what Yan Bugui said. He took a deep breath and decided to ask directly. "Haizhong, are you dissatisfied with me recently? If you have anything to say, you can say it in person. "Dissatisfied? What can I be dissatisfied with you? You are a popular person in our hospital, and everyone revolves around you." "Haizhong, we are all friends, don't let some misunderstandings hurt the harmony. If you have any opinions about me, you can say it directly and we will solve it together."

There was a hint of hesitation in Liu Haizhong's eyes, but then he said coldly: "Solve? Who do you think you are? Zhou Dong, let me tell you, not everyone is as lucky as you. Some people have to rely on their own efforts."

Zhou Dong felt sad, but he still said patiently: "Hazhong, I have never felt that I am luckier than others. Everything I have achieved is the result of my own hard work. If you have any misunderstandings, we can talk about it."

Liu Haizhong snorted, "No need to talk about it, just enjoy your 'luck'." After that, he turned and walked away.

Zhou Dong stood there, feeling indescribable. He didn't know how to resolve this misunderstanding, but he knew that he had to continue to do what he was supposed to do.

A few days later, Zhou Dong was assigned as the person in charge. He led the team to work overtime and strive to complete the work.

"Zhou Dong, the task is heavy.

During the work, Liu Haizhong was also in the team, but he always seemed absent-minded and even deliberately delayed the progress several times. Zhou Dong saw this and was very worried, but he still tried to communicate with him patiently.

"Hazhong, this batch of parts is very important, we must complete it on time." Zhou Dong persuaded.

Liu Haizhong replied coldly: "Don't worry, I will do it well."

Despite Liu Haizhong's cold attitude, Zhou Dong still tried his best to coordinate the work of the team. Finally, with everyone's efforts, the task was successfully completed. The factory leaders were very satisfied with their performance and especially praised Zhou Dong's leadership ability.

"Zhou Dong, you are really our pillar. This mission can be successfully completed thanks to you." The factory director said at the meeting.

However, Liu Haizhong's attitude did not change, and he even made more and more remarks to sow discord behind his back. Zhou Dong knew that he had to find a solution.

One day, Zhou Dong met Qin Huairu in the yard and told her about his troubles. Qin Huairu frowned and said, "Zhou Dong, don't bother with him. But since he treats you like this, you can't keep enduring it. I know, but I don't want to make a big deal out of it, after all, we are all neighbors." Zhou Dong said helplessly.

"Then find an opportunity to have a good talk with him in person and make things clear." Qin Huairu suggested. "Okay, I'll try. Zhou Dong finally found a suitable opportunity. He saw Liu Haizhong sitting alone on a stone bench in the yard and walked over.

"Haizhong, do you have time? Let's talk." Zhou Dong said sincerely.

Liu Haizhong looked up at him and said coldly, "What is there to talk about?"

"Haizhong, I know you have a lot of misunderstandings about me. I hope we can talk it out." Zhou Dong said patiently.

Liu Haizhong was silent for a while, and finally nodded. "Okay, go ahead." He took a deep breath, "Haizhong, I never thought of competing with you. I know you think I'm lucky, but in fact I have also encountered many difficulties, and I have worked hard step by step to overcome them. "Work hard? You have the respect of your leaders and good projects, how can you know our hardships?"

Zhou Dong shook his head. "Hazhong, you are wrong. I can achieve what I have today because I have been working hard and never give up. I hope you can understand that everyone is working hard for life, and no one has it easier than anyone else."

Liu Haizhong listened, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head, was silent for a while, and said: "Zhou Dong, I admit that I am a little jealous of you, but you don’t know that my family burden is heavy and I have to work hard. "Haizhong, I understand your situation. We can face difficulties together and help each other. Why be hostile to each other? "

Liu Haizhong raised his head and looked at Zhou Dong, his eyes moist. "Zhou Dong, I...I'm sorry."

"It's okay, let the past be the past. We will work hard together in the future." Liu Haizhong gradually changed his attitude towards Zhou Dong, and the misunderstanding between them was gradually eliminated. In the factory, Zhou Dong and Liu Haizhong began to cooperate with each other, and the work went more and more smoothly. The neighbors were happy for them when they saw that they had a good relationship. Zhou Dong was repairing an old chair in the yard with a bottle of wine.

"Zhou Dong, let's not talk about work today, let's just have a good drink." Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

"Okay, let's have a good chat today." He took the glass.

The two sat on a stone bench in the yard, chatting about the trivialities of life and their future plans. Liu Haizhong said with emotion: "Zhou Dong, thank you, really. If it weren't for you, I would still be stuck in a dead end and unable to get out of it. "Haizhong, we are all friends,"

The lights in the courtyard were warm and soft, reflecting the smiling faces of the two people. The neighbors watching from the side also felt very warm. Although life in the courtyard was simple, it was full of warmth and friendship.

Jia Dongxu and Zhou Dong worked closely together in the factory.

Zhou Dong was busy adjusting a new stamping machine in the factory that day when he suddenly heard a familiar laugh from behind. He turned around and saw Jia Dongxu walking over with his usual bright smile on his face.

"Zhou Dong," Jia Dongxu asked as he approached.

“Fortunately, I’m busy debugging this new machine.

"Thank you for your hard work. This machine is our factory's new treasure. If you can debug it successfully, it will be a great achievement." Jia Dongxu patted Zhou Dong's shoulder. "It's not hard. I'm very happy to be able to do something for the factory. By the way, Dongxu, do you have any new tasks?" "We recently received a big order and need us to work overtime to rush the work. Zhou Dong, I need your help here. Are you willing?"

"Of course I am willing. We are good partners. Just let me know if there is anything you need me to do." Zhou Dong agreed without hesitation.

The two began to work closely together, with Jia Dongxu in charge of production arrangements and quality control, and Zhou Dong focusing on technical support and machine maintenance. The efficiency of the entire team was greatly improved. Zhou Dong and Jia Dongxu worked overtime until late and finally completed the day's production tasks. Jia Dongxu looked at his watch and smiled, "Zhou Dong, we've worked really hard today, why don't we go to a nearby restaurant for a midnight snack? I'm a little hungry, too."
