Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng took Jin Ling and her brother out of the neighborhood office, seeing that it was getting late, Chen Feng took them to a state-owned restaurant for a meal.

After dinner, Chen Feng wanted to take Jin Ling and her brother to buy some clothes and take a bath. At first, there were bath tickets, but not many cloth tickets.

Chen Feng had not exchanged for cloth coupons this year, and the one issued by the company was only enough to buy a set of clothes for adults. Chen Feng could only give up for the time being and had to take Jin Ling and her brother to the courtyard.

On the way, Chen Feng briefly told Jin Ling and her brother about the situation of other neighbors in the yard, and told them to pay special attention to the pension group headed by Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui should also be on high alert, and Xu Damao should also be careful to avoid being plotted against.

The only reason why we should be careful about Xu Damao is that Chen Feng doesn't know whether Xu Damao, besides liking the young widow, might also be having affairs with other girls, so it's better to be careful.

After Chen Feng finished speaking, Jin Ling and her brother nodded and said "I understand", and Chen Feng felt a little relieved.

Soon, Chen Feng and Jin Ling returned to the courtyard together. There was still some time before the end of get off work, and Yan Fugui had not returned from school yet.

Chen Feng led Jin Ling and her brother into the courtyard. As they walked in, Chen Feng pointed out to them who lived in the houses in the courtyard.

Jin Ling also followed Chen Feng's words and fingers and memorized them in her heart. Soon, Chen Feng and his companions arrived at the backyard.

After opening the door of his house, Chen Feng led Jin Ling and her brother into the house. He took Jin Ling and her brother to familiarize themselves with the rooms in the house.

Chen Feng said to Jin Ling, "Jin Ling, stay home for a while. I'm going to buy a bed for Jin Ming. The old beds at home were thrown away when I renovated the house. Now there is only one bed upstairs. There is not enough room for the three of us to sleep."

Actually, the bed upstairs can accommodate three people if they squeeze in. The main thing is not to buy a bed for Jin Ming, but to buy a bed for Jin Ling.

If they don't sleep separately, Chen Feng can't guarantee that he will sleep well at night. Chen Feng thinks it is better to sleep separately.

When Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, she said softly, "Okay, husband, my brother and I will stay at home obediently!"

Chen Feng was so moved by Jin Ling's call of "husband" that he kept chanting "Amitabha" in his heart. What a sin! Letting an underage girl call him "husband" would surely make him be beaten to death by her parents in the next life!

Chen Feng pretended to be calm and said, "Then you guys stay at home and take good care of the house! I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, Chen Feng walked out of the house, pushing his bicycle away. Chen Feng hurried out of the courtyard gate, then rode his bicycle to the steel mill.

Chen Feng rode his bicycle without delay and arrived at the steel rolling mill in just over ten minutes. He offered a cigarette to the security guard at the door and asked him to notify Hou Debang.

The security guard had also met Chen Feng once, so he was happy to help Chen Feng make a phone call. Seeing the security guard making a phone call, Chen Feng went to his old place and stood there smoking.

Soon Hou Debang arrived at the gate. When he saw Chen Feng, he was still as enthusiastic as before. He said jokingly, "Brother Chen, what brings you to our small temple of the steel mill today?"

When Chen Feng heard him say that, he smiled and replied, "What kind of wind could it be in this winter? Of course it's the cold wind from Siberia!"

When Hou Debang heard Chen Feng's answer, he burst into laughter, and Chen Feng also laughed.

After laughing for a while, Chen Feng took the lead and said, "Brother Hou, I want to ask you for help with something. I hope you won't refuse me!"

When Hou Debang heard what Chen Feng said, he didn't even think twice and said generously, "Brother Chen, if it's not too difficult, I will definitely find a way to help you!"

Chen Feng also understood what he meant, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he said, "It's not a big deal, my brother is getting married today."

"We were in a hurry and not well prepared. I don't have enough cloth and cotton coupons. I would like to ask you to help me change some."

When Hou Debang heard that Chen Feng was getting married today, he was a little surprised. He didn't know why Chen Feng got married so early. He remembered that they were only 19 when they had dinner.

Although he didn't understand, he still said, "Then congratulations, brother! The bill is easy to deal with. Just come in and I'll get it for you. But brother, why didn't you inform me of your wedding banquet?"

While Hou Debang was speaking, he also led Chen Feng into the steel rolling mill.

Chen Feng pushed his bicycle forward and said, "I haven't held the wedding banquet yet. I just got the marriage certificate today after the blind date. It was very hasty. When I have arranged it in the next two days, I will definitely treat you to a good drink!"

Hou Debang also smiled and said, "Okay! I'll send you a big gift when the time comes!"

"What's the big deal? Bro, your presence is a big deal!"

Chen Feng was also speaking politely. Chen Feng knew that with their relationship, Hou Debang would know that Chen Feng was getting married, and even if he couldn't come due to some matters, someone would bring the gifts.

Hou Debang heard Chen Feng's words and said with a smile, "No, the gift must be given. It can't be less!"

The two chatted and laughed as they came to Hou Debang's new office. He was now in charge of three purchasing departments, so of course a deputy-division-level cadre had to move to a new office.

Hou Debang led Chen Feng into the office, opened a cabinet, took out several stacks of bills, and placed them on the table. Then he said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, these are all the bills I have for now. If you need anything, just take them."

Chen Feng was not polite either. He picked up the tickets and started to pick them out. There were three hundred feet of cloth tickets and fifty kilograms of cotton tickets. Chen Feng picked them all out.

Afterwards, Chen Feng picked out three pounds of sugar tickets and sesame oil tickets from these tickets, and then Chen Feng stopped.

He said to Hou Debang, "Okay, Brother Hou, that's all. Calculate how much it is and I'll give it to you."

Hou Debang said with a smile, "What's the point of money? How can I charge you for such a small thing?"

When Chen Feng heard what Hou Debang said, he quickly said, "You still have to pay the money. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to explain to your superiors if so many bills are missing!"

Seeing that Chen Feng insisted on paying, Hou Debang said, "How about this, Brother Chen! Don't pay for now. We'll settle the bill next time we adjust supplies."

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Chen Feng did not insist on paying the money right away. He put the bill into his schoolbag and saw that it was getting late.

So Chen Feng said goodbye to Hou Debang, "Brother Hou, it's getting late. My wife is still waiting for me at home. I won't chat with you anymore. Let's chat another day!"

Hou Debang knew that Chen Feng had something else to do today, so he did not try to persuade him to stay. Instead, he said, "Okay! I'll take you out."

Hou Debang and Chen Feng chatted all the way and sent Chen Feng out of the steel mill. After leaving the steel mill, Chen Feng and Hou Debang said "goodbye" and then rode their bicycles to the city.

As they were about to enter the city, Chen Feng saw that there was no one on the road. He took out a large bag of flour from the space, which weighed about 100 kilograms. He tied it on the back seat of the car and continued to enter the city.

After entering the city, Chen Feng went to a furniture store and bought two beds made of Chinese toon wood. He found three porters to carry the two beds and the flour on the back seat of Chen Feng's bicycle.

Then he went to the blacksmith shop and bought a heater, and returned to the courtyard with the installer.

After returning to the courtyard, he was still alone watching the car, and Chen Feng helped carry the bed in.

When they arrived at Chen Feng's house in the backyard, Chen Feng placed the two beds in the two rooms on the south side of the first floor. Then he also moved in the stove and flour.

After paying the freight, Chen Feng helped the master install the heater. Not only did he install the new one, but he also asked the master to install the old one he used last year.

After the master installed the heater and left, Chen Feng said to Jin Ling and her brother who had been watching from the side, "Okay, the bed has been bought and the heater has been installed, so it's almost complete. Let's go, I'll take you to buy some clothes."

Jin Ling said at this time, "Hubby, we have clothes to wear, no need to buy more!"

In response, Chen Feng said, "We're getting married, how can we not buy some clothes? Just listen to me, let's go buy some clothes. It just so happens that I haven't bought any clothes this year, so let's go buy some together."

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng say this, she stopped talking. After all, her mother taught her when she was alive that once she got married, she should listen to her husband.

Seeing that she no longer objected, Chen Feng rode his bicycle and took them to the department store, where there were so many things in total that they could buy everything at once.

After Chen Feng brought Jin Ling and her brother to the department store, Chen Feng parked his bicycle and then took Jin Ling and her brother inside.

Chen Feng first took them to the clothing area and bought Jin Ling a red and a white wool coat, a sweater and trousers, and two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers. She also bought a pair of autumn clothes, autumn pants and cotton shoes.

Jin Ming’s is similar, except that he has two fewer coats than his sister. It’s up to the child to decide what coats to wear. Let him buy them for himself when he grows up!

Chen Feng himself was much simpler, he only bought a blue woolen Zhongshan suit. He couldn't wear all the clothes the scrap yard gave him this year.

He usually wears work clothes and the cotton coat he was given last year to go to work. The security uniform Chen Feng was given was placed under the cabinet and had never seen water.

The black Mao suit he made last year was only worn twice, and he had no chance to wear it normally. If it weren't for the wedding, Chen Feng wouldn't have planned to buy any clothes this year.

After buying clothes, Chen Feng took Jin Ling and her brother to go shopping in the department store and bought a lot of miscellaneous toiletries and daily necessities.

Like cups, towels, toothbrushes, vanity cream wash basins, etc. Anyway, the last three people were so full of things that they couldn't carry any more, so Chen Feng and the others left the department store.

Finally, Chen Feng realized that his bicycle couldn't carry all these things!

So he called a biker from the side, put the things and Jin Ming on the bike, and asked the biker to pull it. Chen Feng took Jin Ling and slowly rode his bicycle in front to lead the way.
