Siheyuan: I just want to live

November, 1958

Chen Feng opened his eyes dazedly and looked around in confusion. Where is this? Didn't I have an accident while riding an electric bike? This doesn't look like a hospital! This is a brick-and-wood structure house with simple furnishings, a bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and a bench. The wardrobe is missing a leg, and it is supported by two blue bricks. It looks like the style of the 1960s and 1970s.

I felt my throat was a bit dry, so I thought of getting some water. Suddenly, I felt dizzy. Chen Feng lay on the bed with lifeless eyes for a long time before he adjusted.

He traveled through time and came to a parallel world. This world was not much different from the world of his previous life, but he changed from Chen Feng, who was almost 2023 years old in 30, to Chen Feng, who was 1958 years old in 18. This person was also called Chen Feng, so there was no need to change his name. The dizziness just now was the discomfort brought by Chen Feng accepting his memory.

The original owner, Chen Feng, was born in 40. His father was from Xiangxi. When the team was on the Long March, three brothers, his uncle from the same village, and two relatives followed the team. When they arrived at the base, only his father and uncle were left. His father and mother got married through an introduction and gave birth to the original owner in 40. Both parents died in Pingjin, and his uncle was injured and had a limp. So he changed jobs locally and arranged to guard the gate of the Sijiucheng scrap yard. The job was also leisurely, so he brought the original owner to support him and send him to school.

The original owner had just graduated from junior high school when Old Man Chen died of a relapse of his old injury in the winter of 58. He held the funeral under the guidance of the abbot of the unit and the original owner's grief. At night, he got drunk in his longing and failed to fix the stove for heating, and died in his sleep. He was reborn by Chen Feng.

After sorting out his memory, Chen Feng got out of bed and wanted to find some water to drink. His throat was very dry and uncomfortable.

After putting on his clothes and shoes and standing up, he felt dizzy and his legs were a little weak. He sniffed the air and smelled a little gas. Chen Feng suddenly shuddered and quickly opened the door and window and ran out. After going out, he sat in the corridor and breathed in the cold air brought by Siberia.

"Damn it! I finally made it through, I can't let the gas be brought back again," Chen Feng muttered in a low voice with lingering fear.

At this time, Xu Damao, who was brought by Xu's father, came out from the west room of the back house. Seeing Chen Feng sitting in the corridor at the door, he asked curiously, "Chen Feng? Why are you sitting here? It's so cold."

"Hey! The stove wasn't properly fixed last night, so the gas in the house is a bit strong. I'm going to come out for some fresh air and ventilate the house." Chen Feng replied.

At this time, the second uncle Liu Haizhong also came out from the east wing. Hearing Chen Feng's conversation, he interrupted and said, "Chen Feng! You have to be careful! Don't be careless with this coal stove! It could cost someone's life if you're not careful! Are you okay?"

"Hey! I remember Second Uncle! If you are fine, just get some fresh air and you will be fine."

"I'm glad you're okay. I'll go to work first. You should have a good rest at home. If you feel unwell, go to the hospital as soon as possible," Liu Haizhong said as he walked outside.

"If you need anything, call your aunt. I have to go to work too," said Xu's father as he and Xu Damao passed by.

"I understand! I'll pay attention."

After the second uncle and Xu's father left, other people in the yard went to work or school one after another, and the courtyard suddenly became much quieter.

Chen Feng looked at the room and saw that the smell of gas had almost dissipated, so he returned to his room. After closing the doors and windows, the temperature in the room slowly began to rise. He drank some water and sat back on the bed. Chen Feng's thoughts gradually drifted back to 2023.

Chen Feng thought of his father and sister, wondering how sad they would be if they knew about my car accident. Chen Feng was born in a single-parent family. His mother died when he was very young, and his father worked hard to raise him and his sister. A few years ago, he borrowed money to lease land and plant greenhouse watermelons, and his life became better. The house in the village was built, and my sister got married. I traveled through time? I hope he can withstand the blow!

"Oh! Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! Anyway, I can't go back!" Chen Feng then stood up and looked carefully at the home in this time and space. There are three rooms, separated by two gables, and the door is in the middle room. The total area is more than 60 square meters. In the future, I will marry a wife and have two or three children.

The furnishings in the room were simple and plain. There was an eight-immortal table and a table in the main room. Judging from the texture of the wood, it should be made of willow, but the traces of time have made them slightly old. Two long benches stood quietly by the door, and on the basin rack behind the door was an enamel basin with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

The room on the south side is where Grandpa Chen lives and also serves as the kitchen. A small bed is placed against the wall at the innermost part, close to the west and north walls in a north-south direction. A huge box is placed on the south wall. The east side near the window is filled with various cooking utensils, tableware, cabinets, chests of drawers and other items. These household items cleverly divide the room into two relatively independent areas.

The room on the north side is naturally my bedroom. The bed is placed against the north and west walls in an east-west direction. The desk and wardrobe are arranged in sequence against the south wall, and a stool is quietly waiting in front of the desk.

After looking around, Chen Feng was quite satisfied. You know, now he is considered to be a person who owns property in this city!

He picked up the toiletries, added some hot water to the basin, and then walked towards the pool in the courtyard. As soon as he reached the pool, he caught a glimpse of Qin Huairu squatting beside him, washing clothes with her head down. Chen Feng stood there expressionlessly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. He didn't say hello to anyone, or even make eye contact, but just took care of fetching water, washing his face, and brushing his teeth. During the whole process, he seemed a little indifferent and withdrawn.

However, at this moment, a small action of Qin Huairu attracted people's attention. She was originally busy, but for some reason she suddenly stopped what she was doing. She gently raised her hand and used her slender jade fingers stained with water to gently brush the strands of hair scattered at the temples behind her ears. This simple and natural action makes people feel a different kind of style. Qin Huairu's fingers are slender and delicate, like works of art; the few drops of water slide down her fingertips and drip on the ground with a crisp sound. At this moment, she is like a blooming flower under the cover and background of hazy water vapor. This charm seems to have no end. She is worthy of being the woman who has kept Sha Zhu hanging for a lifetime. At this time, Qin Huairu said, "Chen Feng, you live alone now. If you don't know how to wash, just come to me and I will help you wash it."

Chen Feng had already brushed his teeth. He spat out a mouthful of mouthwash and said, "No need, Sister-in-law Jia. It's just two pieces of clothes. I can wash them myself. I'm done. I'll see you later, Sister-in-law Jia." As Chen Feng spoke, his hands moved quickly. He washed his face quickly, turned around and left.

"Hey, why call me sister-in-law? Call me Sister Qin! If you have any problem, tell me and I will help you." Qin Huairu shouted to Chen Feng who was about to walk into the backyard.

Back in the backyard, Chen Feng thought that he must not let Qin Huairu get close to him, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find a wife in the future. The Shazhu in the original novel is a negative example, who was tricked and froze to death in the bridge hole. It's terrible.

Let’s talk about two sides, the Jia family in the central courtyard.

Qin Huairu was pulled back into the room by Jia Zhangshi and was strangled randomly, while strangling her, she said, "Qin Huairu, you little slut, are you thinking about wild men? With me watching over you at home, you can't think about anything."

"Mom! I didn't! I was thinking of getting closer to Chen Feng and seeing if I could ask him to switch houses. He lives alone now and it doesn't matter where he lives. Our house will have more space after the change. Dongxu and I will be able to give you another grandson next year." Qin Huairu's peach blossom eyes were misty as she spoke, as if she was about to cry.

"Really?" Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu suspiciously.

"Really!" Qin Huairu nodded quickly.

"I'll trust you for now, but why don't you go do your work? Do you still want me to do it?" After glaring at Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang returned to the kang to sew her shoe soles. While sewing, she muttered, "I'll tell Dongxu when he comes back in the evening and ask him to find Lao Yi to think of a solution."

Qin Huairu didn't care and went out to continue washing clothes.

But after Chen Feng came back, he closed the door and started to search the house. He found six honor plaques in Grandpa Chen's box, which belonged to Chen Feng's parents, his uncle, and two relatives from Chenjia Village. In the biscuit box under the bricks at the bottom of the bed, there was a stack of great unity, a stack of bills, and more than a dozen military medals. There was also a house certificate, which belonged to these three rooms, and it was private property, which was really great. A handful of change in the chest of drawers. After counting the money, there were 1528.73 yuan, 2 catties of fine grain coupons, more than catties of coarse grains, half a catty of oil coupons, half a catty of sugar coupons, five feet of cloth coupons, and some miscellaneous coupons. Among the military medals, there was one first-class merit medal, two second-class merit medals, and seven third-class merit medals. There was one first-class merit medal, three second-class merit medals, and three third-class merit medals for the collective.

Chen Feng felt a little sad when he saw these honor plaques and military medals. These were the honors earned by his relatives with their blood.

Chen Feng thought about it and decided to buy some nails and nail the signs on the door. After all, he was just a small farmer and might not be able to fight against the group of old foxes in the courtyard. They were famous in the world. Having these signs at the door might save a lot of trouble.

Looking at the money, I was a little worried about leaving it at home because I was about to go out. After all, would Jia Zhang steal things from my room while I was away, just like other Tomato authors did? Has the thief's stick plot come to life?

Others have a system or space when they travel through time, but I have nothing. Is it because I opened it in the wrong way?

"System? Are you there?" Chen Feng called out softly, but there was no response.

"System elf, are you there? Are you there?"

"Xiaobu Xiaobu, are you there? Xiaoai, are you there? Tmall Genie, are you there?" Chen Feng called them several times but there was no response.

Chen Feng still didn't give up and continued to shout "QQ Farm? QQ Ranch? Farm Space?" As soon as Chen Feng shouted "Farm Space", he disappeared in the room.
