Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Yan Fugui left, Chen Feng waited in the room for a while. No one came to ask Chen Feng any more questions. Chen Feng was happy to be idle and waited until Master Lei brought people.

Master Lei brought ten young men and ladders and other tools to Chen Feng's house. Chen Feng found that Master Lei's two sons were among them.

When Chen Feng saw Master Lei, he immediately went up to him and said, "Master Lei, I have already moved all the furniture away. The house is empty now. You can start work anytime!"

Master Lei looked around and found that everything had indeed been moved away. So he said, "Then, sir, shall we get started?"

Chen Feng seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, Chen Feng took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Master Lei. Then he said, "Master Lei, this is the key. I'm handing it over to you now. You can start working!"

Upon hearing this, Master Lei also took the key.

Chen Feng said to him again, "Master Lei, I'll leave first. If you have anything, come to the scrap yard to find me. I'm staying at the company temporarily now!"

Master Lei replied, "Hey, Boss, I know!"

Chen Feng heard Master Lei's answer and nodded. Then he pushed his bicycle and left the backyard. He didn't understand anything, so he didn't bother Master Lei anymore.

After seeing Chen Feng leave, Master Lei said to the blue bricks he brought, "Let's start working." Then everyone went up to the roof, removed the tiles, and began to work in full swing!

After Chen Feng left the courtyard, he had nothing else to do, so he rode his bicycle back to the scrap yard.

In the morning, Chen Feng only moved the furniture to the scrap yard. His bed was not made yet. He had to go back and make the bed quickly so as not to delay his sleep at night.

After arriving at the scrap yard, Chen Feng parked his bicycle in front of the door of the security room where he was temporarily staying, then pushed the door open and went in, starting to make the bed and organize his things.

After making the bed, Chen Feng took out the food from the space.

Chen Feng was not going to use the stove anymore. He planned to cook directly in the tea room of the scrap yard, which would save him a lot of coal briquettes.

After Chen Feng finished everything, he walked to the door and stretched his waist.

Looking at the neatly arranged beds and daily necessities in front of him, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction. Although the conditions here were simple, at least there was a place to stay.

Then, he went to the tea room of the scrap yard and put away the pots, pans, and other cooking utensils.

At this time, Sun Xiaojuan walked out from the office next door.

When she saw Chen Feng, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Chen Feng, why did you move to the scrap yard?"

Chen Feng turned around immediately after hearing the voice. Then, he said to her, "It's Sister Sun, isn't this the house I'm renovating? I'm staying at the scrap yard for a while!"

Sun Xiaojuan asked again, "Chen Feng, why did you suddenly want to renovate your house? Isn't your house pretty good?"

Seeing her asking this, Chen Feng said, "Oh, it's like this. I'm getting old now, right? I'll decorate the house first, and then I'll find someone to find me a partner after it's done!"

When Sun Xiaojuan heard what Chen Feng said, his eyes turned, and then he teased Chen Feng, "Hey! Chen Feng, how old do you think you are? You're already thinking about a wife!"

Chen Feng was a little embarrassed by Sun Xiaojuan's sudden teasing, but he still said with his neck stiff, "I'm almost nineteen, almost twenty in lunar age, why can't I think about a wife?"

When Sun Xiaojuan heard what Chen Feng said, she suddenly giggled.

She laughed a few times, and then asked with a smile, "Then Chen Feng, what kind of wife do you want to find? Talk to me, and I will help you look for one!"

Chen Feng felt a little embarrassed when she asked him this. He blushed and said shyly, "Then I must find a pretty one!"

When Sun Xiaojuan heard what Chen Feng said, she started laughing again. This time she laughed even harder, almost making a goose sound.

Seeing that she was laughing non-stop, Chen Feng's face turned even redder, so he pretended to be angry and said, "Sister Sun! If you keep laughing, I will ignore you!"

Sun Xiaojuan stopped laughing and said, "Okay, I won't laugh anymore! Don't be angry!"

After hearing Sun Xiaojuan's words, Chen Feng's expression improved a little.

When Sun Xiaojuan saw Chen Feng’s face was slightly red due to shyness, her eyes rolled again as if she thought of something.

So she smiled and asked Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you said you wanted to find a beautiful wife, what do you think of me? How about I marry you?"

When Chen Feng suddenly heard what Sun Xiaojuan said, he froze in place, not knowing how to respond.

If Chen Feng said no, it might be a bit hurtful. If it's not possible, what if she really wants to marry him?

After Chen Feng reacted, he raised his finger and pointed at Sun Xiaojuan who was looking at him with a smile.

She said, "Sister Sun, you... you... you are kidding me! I... I haven't cleaned my room yet. I... I'm going to clean my room!"

Then Chen Feng quickly turned around and closed the door in one go. With a bang, the door was slammed shut by Chen Feng!

Sun Xiaojuan looked at Chen Feng who was running away and started laughing at the door again. After laughing for a while, Sun Xiaojuan felt that it was meaningless and returned to the finance office.

Chen Feng stayed in the house and didn't go out, for fear that if he went out, Sun Xiaojuan would see him and tease him again.

Chen Feng couldn't help but wonder, are young widows now so open-minded? This is much more powerful than in later generations!

Chen Feng hid in the room until the scrap station got off work and did not dare to go out. This time, Chen Feng was really afraid of Sun Xiaojuan.

She was afraid that she would run into Sun Xiaojuan and that she would tease her again. If others saw it, she would be in big trouble!

Time passed quickly and before he knew it, it was time to get off work. Chen Feng locked the door of the scrap yard and walked into the room with brisk steps.

Because Chen Feng lived in the scrap yard, Li Guotao temporarily withdrew the night shift security.

Li Guotao told Chen Feng that since he would stay at the scrap yard at night, there would not be a need for too many security guards.

In this way, other security personnel can have a good rest, while Chen Feng will take on the night guard work alone.

After Chen Feng returned to the room, he quickly took out the food he had prepared earlier from the space. These foods were specially prepared by him before entering the military camp.

Although he had not eaten it in the barracks, it was a good choice to take it out and enjoy it now. After all, the food was still fresh, and he could take this opportunity to eat it, saving him the trouble of cooking.

After finishing his meal, Chen Feng entered the space. Seeing that there were more than 2,000 rabbits in the space that were ready to be slaughtered, Chen Feng planned to go to the steel mill again tomorrow to sell these to Section Chief Hou.

When Chen Feng entered the space, Sun Xiaojuan also returned home, but her face looked a little strange.

After returning home, he made a thin and pitiful porridge for the whole family, then sat at the table with a gloomy face, drinking the porridge in his bowl absent-mindedly.

Zheng Guoan looked at his daughter-in-law who looked a little off. He asked with concern, "Juan! I see that you look a little off. Is there something wrong with your work?"

When Sun Xiaojuan heard what her father-in-law said, she raised her head and forced a smile. Then she said, "Dad, I'm fine, and I'm doing well at work!"

Zheng Guoan was not relieved after hearing what Sun Xiaojuan said, but said, "I noticed that you looked a little off since you came back. If you have been wronged, tell me and I will help you vent your anger!"

Sun Xiaojuan stared at her father-in-law for a while, then looked at the five little kids lying on the table drinking porridge, and looked at her son who had become thinner because of not having enough to eat in the past few months.

She suddenly said, "Dad, I'm going to get an IUD inserted this weekend!"

When Zheng Guoan heard what Sun Xiaojuan said, his hand holding the chopsticks suddenly loosened, and the chopsticks fell out of his hand and fell on the table.

Sun Xiaojuan and Zheng Guoan both fell silent. The only sounds in the room were those of a few children drinking porridge. The children were still young and did not understand what Sun Xiaojuan meant, but Zheng Guoan did.

Zheng Guoan did not refute immediately. Instead, he controlled his trembling hands, took out a cigarette, and then lit it with trembling hands.

After taking several puffs, he finally asked with difficulty, "Does it have to be like this?"

Sun Xiaojuan said calmly, "The last time my little cousin came, he said that it hadn't rained much over there for several months."

"The summer harvest will definitely be reduced. If the autumn harvest is not good this year, our family will not be able to survive. The best outcome is to let my uncle and his family fend for themselves."

Zheng Guoan frowned when he heard Sun Xiaojuan's words, took two more puffs of his cigarette, and then said in a trembling voice, "Can... can we wait a little longer? Wait until after the autumn harvest and see!"

After Sun Xiaojuan finished the porridge in the bowl in one breath, she spoke in a calm tone.

"Chen Feng has already started decorating the house. He has already shown signs of wanting to find a partner. This may be his last chance."

When Zheng Guoan heard what Sun Xiaojuan said, he asked again, "Juan! Have you really thought it through? Don't you want to think about it again?"

At this time, the children had finished the porridge in their bowls. They ran out like a gust of wind and started chasing and playing in the yard.

Sun Xiaojuan looked at their running figures and their happy laughter. Then she said firmly, "Dad, I have thought it through!"

Zheng Guoan couldn't say anything after hearing this. He knew that if he didn't care about his father-in-law's family, his family might have some difficulties, but they could still survive.

But if he had to watch his father-in-law's family starve to death, he couldn't bear it. After all, that was more than 20 lives, and if they died because he didn't save them, he would have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life.

Seeing that her father-in-law didn't say anything, Sun Xiaojuan didn't say anything either. She just silently cleaned up the dishes, walked to the sink outside the house, and started washing them.

Zheng Guoan sat on the bench with a hollow look in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul. He did not come back to his senses until his fingers were burned by a burning cigarette butt.

He hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt, let out a long sigh, and then drank all the corn porridge in the bowl in one breath.

Then he picked up another bowl, went into the inner room, and fed his paralyzed wife.
