Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chen Feng returned home and simply prepared some food to make lunch. After lunch, Chen Feng took a rest and started to pick vegetables in the kitchen.

While Chen Feng was picking vegetables, Yan Fugui arrived at the door of Chen Feng's house.

He knocked on the door gently and shouted, "Chen Feng, open the door, I'm your uncle, I have something to tell you!"

When Chen Feng heard that it was Yan Fugui, he put down the dishes, washed his hands, and then walked to the door to open it for Yan Fugui.

After opening the door, Chen Feng first asked Yan Fugui, "Teacher Yan, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Yan Fugui stood at the door and said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, look, your house has been repaired and you have moved back. This can be considered a happy occasion of moving into a new house."

"I think you should set up a few tables and I'll celebrate properly. We, the neighbors, will also come and make some hot pot for you to warm up your new house!"

When Chen Feng heard what Yan Fugui said, he exclaimed in his heart, "What a guy! He even set up several tables! Is he dividing the family property with a rich man like himself?"

People in the countryside are almost starving to death, but he still asks me to hold a big banquet. Isn't this obviously an attempt to flatter him?

And if the neighborhood relations were harmonious, Chen Feng would arrange two tables just to show his courtesy, but Chen Feng was too lazy to pay attention to these beasts, and Yan Fugui even wanted him to treat them to a meal!

After Chen Feng heard what Yan Fugui said, his eyes turned. He immediately complained to Yan Fugui, "Teacher Yan! You don't know, I am now heavily in debt in order to repair this house. I really don't have money to treat my neighbors to a meal. Now it's a problem for me to eat."

When Yan Fugui heard what Chen Feng said, he said in disbelief, "Chen Feng, I remember that Lao Chen's salary is very high? Shouldn't you be in debt for building a house?"

Chen Feng didn't expect Yan Fugui to know about his grandfather's salary, so Chen Feng continued

"Hey! Teacher Yan, my grandfather's salary was not low. But every month he sent almost all of his salary to the families of his comrades who died in the countryside, leaving me no money at all."

When Yan Fugui heard what Chen Feng said, he secretly mocked Chen as a fool. How could he send his salary to others if he didn't keep it for himself?

In fact, Chen Feng now also sends money to his grandfather’s comrades’ homes every month. If Yan Fugui knew about this, he would definitely call himself a fool.

When Yan Fugui heard Chen Feng say this, he couldn't help but look a little unhappy. If Chen Feng didn't hold a banquet, how could his family realize their plan of eating for free?

When Yan Fugui was in a dilemma, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he said, "Chen Feng, how about this! I will lend you fifty yuan, you can hold the banquet, and you can pay me back when you have money. What do you think?"

Just after he finished talking about the solution, Yan Fugui added, "But this money must be charged with interest! Third Uncle sees that it is not easy for you to be alone, so he will only charge you five yuan in interest every month. It's not much! Look how good Third Uncle is to you!"

When Chen Feng heard Yan Fugui's words, he almost slapped him in the face!

How could he have the nerve to ask Chen Feng to borrow money to hold a banquet? The interest was five dollars a month, and that was the level of usury, right?

Chen Feng resisted the urge to hit someone, and said to Yan Fugui with a fake smile:

"Teacher Yan, I think your method is not good! How about this, you take 50 yuan to help me host the banquet, and then collect the share money, and in the end all the share money belongs to you, what do you think?"

When Yan Fugui heard Chen Feng say this, he knew that he really didn't want to hold a banquet. He asked Chen Feng to help him hold it, and the money would be his!

People in the hospital usually give gifts of a few cents or so. If I rely on these, I will lose a lot of money. I, Old Yan, will not do this unprofitable business!

So Yan Fugui laughed awkwardly twice, and then said, "Chen Feng, since you don't plan to hold a banquet, forget it. What's the point of me helping you do it? In this case, I will go back first and won't bother you anymore!"

After saying this, Yan Fugui turned around and left without waiting for Chen Feng to speak.

Chen Feng looked at Yan Fugui who was leaving quickly, and he spat at Yan Fugui's receding back.

Then when he was about to close the door, Chen Feng suddenly found that something seemed to be missing from his door. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the honor plaque was gone!

Chen Feng took them down before renovating the house, and forgot to put them back on these two days.

Chen Feng returned to the house, entered the inner room, took out the honor plate, nails and hammer from the space, then went outside and re-engaged.

After doing all this, Chen Feng closed the door and went back to the kitchen to pick vegetables.

Chen Feng spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen organizing the ingredients. When Xu Damao came back, Chen Feng had already prepared all the dishes and the steamed buns were heating up in the pot.

After Xu Damao came back and put his things at home, he hurried to the door of Chen Feng's house, knocked on the door, and then stood at the door and shouted

"Chen Feng, come and open the door. I'm Xu Damao. I'm back!"

When Chen Feng heard Xu Damao's voice, he immediately came out of the kitchen and opened the door for him.

When Xu Damao saw Chen Feng open the door, he immediately asked, "Chen Feng, is the meal ready? I'm starving!"

Chen Feng looked at Xu Damao speechlessly, then said helplessly, "The dishes are ready, and we can start cooking them later."

Xu Damao said impatiently, "Then fry it quickly!"

Seeing his expression, Chen Feng had no choice but to say, "I'll go cook right away, but please help me invite Aunt Jiang and her family from the front yard over!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Xu Damao didn't ask why, but ran straight to the front yard.

Seeing him leave, Chen Feng also turned and went into the kitchen and started cooking.

There are three coal stoves burning in the kitchen. These were the ones Chen Feng had lit in the space in the afternoon and brought out. The fire is now just right.

Chen Feng first put the chicken pieces into the first pot, and then began to stir-fry until they were half done, then simmered them over low heat until the sauce thickened.

Then, fry the rabbit meat on the second stove until it is about 60% done, and cook over low heat until the sauce thickens. On the third stove, braise the pork.

When the braised pork began to absorb the juice, the chicken pieces were ready to be served. After a few pieces were served, Chen Feng washed the pot and used the first stove to cook the braised fish.

Chen Feng cooked on three stoves like this. After more than 40 minutes, four meat dishes, four stir-fried vegetables and two soups were ready.

Chen Feng shouted to Xu Damao who was chatting with Aunt Jiang in the main hall, "Damo, stop chatting, it's time to serve the food!"

After hearing this, Xu Damao immediately stopped chatting, quickly put the tables and chairs in place, and ran to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Xu Damao and Chen Feng served all the dishes and asked everyone to be ready. Chen Feng then saw the true face of Jiang's sister-in-law. To be honest, Chen Feng had never seen her before. The original owner's impression of her was also vague.

When I saw her today, I knew she was a sickly woman. She looked pale, without a trace of blood. She was about 1.6 meters tall, with a big frame, but she was very thin. Her appearance? She was just an ordinary northern woman.

Chen Feng didn't dare to look at it for too long. After all, it was very impolite to always hold a woman against his will.

Chen Feng spoke first, "Today is my first day living in my new house. Thank you all for giving me face and helping me warm up the house. Let's start the feast now!"

After saying that, Chen Feng picked up the chicken legs and gave one to Xiaolong and Xiaohu respectively, and then picked up a piece of chicken for himself.

Seeing that Chen Feng had already started eating, Xu Damao couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.

Seeing that Chen Feng and Xu Damao had both eaten, Aunt Jiang said to Chen Feng, "Thank you for your hospitality, Xiaofeng! I won't be polite then!"

Then he picked up a piece of chicken for his daughter-in-law and started eating.

Seeing Aunt Jiang thank Chen Feng politely, Xu Damao also said, "Chen &...￥#...+..."

However, because Damao was eating, Chen Feng didn't hear clearly what he said, but the meaning was thank you.

Xu Damao swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, do you have any wine at home? It would be a pity not to drink such delicious food!"

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, then said, "Have you forgotten how much trouble we got into last time we drank together?"

Xu Damao just remembered it at this time, and waved his hand and said, "Then let's not drink, let's eat more food!

Afterwards, Chen Feng, Xu Damao and the Jiang family began to eat in a harmonious atmosphere.

Chen Feng's family was filled with laughter and joy, as everyone sat together enjoying the delicious food. However, other people in the yard were not so lucky.

Especially the deaf old lady next door, she couldn't help salivating when she smelled the fragrance coming from Chen's house. Although it was past mealtime, she still couldn't help drooling, her heart full of envy.

On the other side, Liu Haizhong was sitting leisurely in his room, enjoying a plate of delicious scrambled eggs.

He knew that Chen Feng was treating everyone to dinner today, but because of what happened before, he did not receive an invitation.

He knew in his heart that if he took the initiative to move forward, it would only embarrass himself.

After all, he had just witnessed the tragic end of Jia Zhang, and knew that Chen Feng was not someone he could afford to offend. So, he chose to remain silent and continue to enjoy his scrambled eggs.

Compared to the backyard, the middle yard is a little different. Sha Zhu has been talking in the house.

"This Chen Feng is such a waste of ingredients. With so many meat dishes, he only cooked one braised dish! If I were the chef, I could make ten different meat dishes! It's such a waste!"

At Jia's house, Banggeng kept crying for meat, but Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu ignored him. Ever since Jia Zhangshi went in.

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu became much more low-key in the courtyard. I wonder if they lost their courage without Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai was sulking at home. Who in the courtyard dared not invite him, the uncle, to come if there was anything big or small? Even Chen Feng broke the rules and didn't invite him to the greenhouse!

This matter almost made Yi Zhonghai very angry. He was now thinking about how to find something to hold against Chen Feng and then deal with him!

Yan Fugui sat at the door in the front yard, looking at what Chen Feng's family had discovered, and kept saying, "Miscalculated, miscalculated!"

His family members didn't know why he said that, and when they asked him, he didn't answer, so they just let Yan Fugui sit at the door.
