Siheyuan: I just want to live

The next day, Chen Feng slept in at home again. Today was Saturday and Chen Feng didn't have to go to work.

Rounding it off, Chen Feng worked one day this week. But his salary was still the same. It felt good to get paid for nothing.

After getting up, Chen Feng did not go to make breakfast. Instead, he called Jin Ling and her brother and took them for a walk nearby.

The purpose of today's shopping was to make them familiar with the surrounding area in case Chen Feng was not at home in the future and they couldn't even find a place to buy groceries.

After this walk, it was already noon. Chen Feng took Jin Ling and her brother to eat lunch on the street, and saw that Chen Feng had already taken them to the Nanluoguxiang area.

So Chen Feng took Jin Ling and her brother back to the courtyard. After they got home, Chen Feng said to Jin Ling, "Jin Ling! I have something to go out for. You Ming, take a rest at home. I'll be back soon!"

When Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, she said without hesitation, "Okay, husband, go and do your thing! My brother and I will be waiting for you at home!"

After hearing Jin Ling's answer, Chen Feng didn't hesitate any longer and pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.

In fact, Chen Feng didn’t have any other important things to do. It’s just that he hasn’t gone into the space to see the animals for many days. Today, Chen Feng will find some time to go in and take a look.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Feng found a dead end nearby, and then entered the space with both himself and his bicycle.

After arriving at the space, Chen Feng immediately ran to the rabbit's side and found that the grass that Chen Feng had put a few days ago had been eaten.

This time there were no hard grass stems left, but in the past there were still some. Chen Feng thought rabbits wouldn't eat them, so he always returned the grass stems to the field.

Chen Feng really didn't expect that rabbits would eat grass stalks when they were extremely hungry!

Walking up the stairs, Chen Feng saw that there were still some sweet potatoes left in the pigsty. He turned around and looked at the chicken coop, only to see that the hens had laid eggs all over the straw-covered area.

Looking at the eggs all over the ground, Chen Feng didn't know whether the hens were sitting on eggs this time. If they were, in two days Chen Feng would be able to see chicks all over the ground.

After thinking about it, Chen Feng decided not to pick up the eggs. What if there were already formed hairy eggs or live eggs inside?

It’s better to wait and see for a few more days. Anyway, these hens are almost two or three years old, and Chen Feng is also preparing to raise the next batch of chicks.

After restocking the chicken coop, pig pen, and rabbit pen with enough grass and food for them to eat for a week, Chen Feng went down the stairs.

After coming down, Chen Feng went to take another look at the farmland. The wheat in the farmland was growing well, but the land was a little dry.

Seeing this, Chen Feng controlled the stored water and irrigated all the farmland.

This time, Chen Feng planted wheat on more than 30 acres of farmland. After the harvest at the end of the year, it will be enough for Chen Feng's family and Old Man Huang to eat for two years.

After finishing the farmland, Chen Feng fished out a large grass carp weighing about ten kilograms from the fish pond, put a pig's hind leg and the grass carp into a sack, and then put thirty or forty eggs in a basket.

After everything was ready, Chen Feng left the space.

When he got outside, Chen Feng was holding a basket in one hand and riding a bicycle with the other. A sack was tied to the back seat of the bicycle, and the sack was filled with fish and meat.

Chen Feng rode his bicycle back to the courtyard. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Chen Feng did not see Yan Fugui today.

But it was better without Yan Fugui blocking the way, so Chen Feng pushed his bicycle directly into the yard.

When Chen Feng walked to the middle courtyard, he found that the three old men were playing chess in front of Sha Zhu's house, and there were people standing beside them giving advice.

Chen Feng just glanced at it and went straight into the backyard without stopping. When he arrived at the backyard, he found that his door was open and Jin Ming was lying on the table in the main room doing homework.

Chen Feng pushed the bicycle into the room and locked the door. After locking the door, Chen Feng turned to Jin Ming and asked, "Jin Ming, where is your sister?"

Jin Ming looked up at Chen Feng and said, "Brother-in-law, my sister is upstairs."

Chen Feng heard Jin Ming's answer and nodded, and said to him, "Oh, I know! You can continue to do your homework!"

After saying that, Chen Feng went upstairs.

Chen Feng came to the bedroom upstairs and found Jin Ling lying on the bed looking at something. She looked very happy, otherwise the two little girls wouldn't be kicking around.

When Chen Feng approached, he saw that Jin Ling was reading the passbook. Chen Feng thought Jin Ling was fascinated by the book, but it turned out that she was fascinated by the money.

Chen Feng said to her helplessly, "Okay, don't look at it anymore. If you look at the number 2100 on the passbook again, it won't turn into 21000."

Hearing Chen Feng's voice, Jin Ling immediately turned to look at Chen Feng, and then shouted in surprise, "Hubby, you're back!"

Chen Feng looked at Jin Ling, who was full of surprise, and said with a smile, "I brought back some eggs, meat, and a big fish. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

When Jin Ling heard that there was so much fish and meat, she asked, "Are there a lot of things? Where are they?"

Chen Feng said with a smile, "There are a lot of things, they are downstairs! I will go downstairs to sort them out first, you quickly put on your shoes and go downstairs!"

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he left the bedroom with a smile and went downstairs to the main room.

After getting off the bike, Chen Feng untied the sack on the back seat of the bicycle and first took out the grass carp, which had already frozen in a short while. Then he took out the pig's leg.

When Chen Feng took out the fish meat, Jin Ming saw it and stopped doing his homework. He walked over, squatted down and started studying the fish.

Jin Ming squatted beside the big grass carp and carefully touched the fish head with his finger. Although it was already a frozen fish, Jin Ming seemed to be afraid that the fish would come back to life.

Chen Feng ignored Jin Ming. He was thinking whether he should cut the pork leg into strips and marinate it now, or keep it and eat it fresh.

Before Chen Feng could think it through, Jin Ling had already come down from the building. When she saw the fish and pork legs, she immediately exclaimed, "What a big fish! So much pork!"

Chen Feng heard Jin Ling's exclamation and whispered to her, "Jin Ling, keep your voice down. If other people hear us, they will definitely come to share our fish and meat!"

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng's words, she quickly covered her mouth! After a few seconds, Jin Ling asked carefully, "Husband, where did you get so much meat?"

Only then did Jin Ling speak in a very soft voice.

Seeing him ask this, Chen Feng casually replied, "My friend bought it at Black last night, and I just exchanged it for him."

Regardless of whether Jin Ling believed it or not, Chen Feng asked Jin Ling again, "Jin Ling, how do you think we should eat this meat? Should we pickle it and eat it as salty meat or leave it as is and eat it fresh?"

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng's question, she immediately replied, "Pickle it up, pickle it all! Pickle the fish too! Add more salt! This way, our family can eat for a year if we save a little!"

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng was speechless. He brought back so much fish and meat just to tell Jin Ling that our family is not short of money or meat.

Unexpectedly, when Jin Ling saw the meat, the first thing she thought of was pickling it and saving it for later consumption.

Chen Feng shook his head, and then said to Jin Ling, "Forget it, I'll figure out a way to deal with it myself! You go back upstairs and continue looking at your passbook!"

Jin Ling felt a little sad when she heard what Chen Feng said. She felt that it was Chen Feng who asked her to give advice, but Chen Feng didn't listen to her.

Jin Ling could imagine that if the fish meat was processed according to Chen Feng's method, it would soon be eaten up by Chen Feng.

Jin Ling sighed slightly and went upstairs again. The ending was already decided, so she should just watch it less and feel less distressed.

After Jin Ling left, Chen Feng took the pork into the kitchen and cut it into long strips. After washing it, he wiped it dry with a white cloth.

Then he cleaned out a porcelain bowl for noodles, rinsed it clean and wiped it dry. Chen Feng put the pork strips into the bowl and finally added soybean oil to soak it.

After processing the meat, Chen Feng killed the grass carp, chopped it into pieces, and put it in a basin to marinate. Today, marinate it overnight, and start frying the fish pieces tomorrow.

Thinking of fried fish nuggets, Chen Feng couldn't help drooling. Last year, it was these fried fish nuggets and fried meatballs that accompanied Chen Feng through the long winter.

After Chen Feng marinated the fish pieces, he looked at the huge fish head.

Chen Feng thought about it carefully and finally decided to stew the fish head for dinner tonight. In fact, Chen Feng still wanted to make chopped pepper fish head.

But firstly, Chen Feng did not chopped the pepper, and secondly, this was a grass carp head. The chopped pepper fish head would taste better if it was made with the head of a bighead carp. Chen Feng had never eaten grass carp head, so he didn't dare to make it blindly.

After a few days, Chen Feng went to the department store to see if there was any chopped pepper for sale. If there was, Chen Feng bought a few cans and went back home to make chopped pepper fish head for Jin Ling to try.

After cleaning up everything, Chen Feng put the processed fish head into the pot and started stewing it.

While the fish head was stewing, Chen Feng started kneading dough and steaming pancakes. Chen Feng had just gone out and forgot to bring back steamed buns, so there were not enough steamed buns at home for dinner tonight.

Chen Feng couldn't make it out of thin air, so he could only steam the pancakes. But when kneading the dough, Chen Feng also kneaded the leavened dough.

I'll put it in Jin Ming's room overnight, and it will be almost ready tomorrow morning, just in time for lunch.

Put the pancakes into the pot and then Chen Feng watched the fish head being slowly stewed in the kitchen.

It’s not that Chen Feng doesn’t want to cook other dishes, it’s just that the fish head is too big. One fish head is enough for the three of them to eat tonight.

By the time the fish head is almost done stewing, the pancakes in the pot are also steamed.

Chen Feng shouted to Jin Ming who was still doing homework in the main room, "Jin Ming, the meal is ready! Do your homework tomorrow, go call your sister down to eat!"

"Brother-in-law, I know! I'll go right away!"

When Jin Ming heard Chen Feng's call, he quickly packed up his homework and went upstairs to call Jin Ling.
