Siheyuan: I just want to live

While Jin Ling was still busy packing, Chen Feng looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he made a cup of tea, took out a novel, and sat in the main room drinking tea and reading like an old man.

As Chen Feng was flipping through the book in his hand, he could hear the "bang" and "?" sounds of small artillery fire outside the yard from time to time, and occasionally the loud bang of machetes.

Every time the firecrackers sounded, there would be cheers from the children, which were crisp and cheerful, as if bringing people back to their childhood.

Chen Feng heard these noises in the main hall, and his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a knowing smile. He knew that the children were playing to their heart's content and enjoying the joy of the festival.

He couldn't help but recall that he had also set off firecrackers like this when he was a child, and the excitement and joy he felt was still vivid in his mind. Although he has grown up now, he still feels warm when he hears these familiar sounds.

He thought that Jin Ming, Xiaolong and the others must be having a lot of fun now. Maybe they were immersed in the joyful atmosphere and had forgotten all their worries.

Chen Feng quietly listened to the sounds outside, feeling the excitement and joy. He felt that at this moment, the whole world became beautiful.

I don’t know if Jin Ming will be covered in mud when he comes back. If he is covered in mud, Jin Ling will definitely beat him up again.

Chen Feng didn't know how long he had been reading the novel in the main room. Seeing that it was getting late outside, Chen Feng raised his arm to check the time and saw that it was already past three o'clock.

So Chen Feng put down the book in his hand, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

After arriving in the kitchen, Chen Feng poured more than ten pounds of flour into the basin, then broke up the dough that he had set aside last time and added it to the flour and mixed them together.

It's the end of the year now, and it's time to steam buns. Chen Feng plans to steam more. After all, it's winter now, and the steamed buns will not go bad if they are kept for a long time.

After the dough was mixed, Chen Feng carried the basin into Jin Ming's room. He would let the dough rise overnight in Jin Ming's room and start steaming the buns at noon tomorrow.

After putting the basin away, Chen Feng began to prepare dinner. Jin Ling and her brother had been out for a long time today, and they would be hungry soon, so Chen Feng planned to cook early today.

When Chen Feng was cooking in the kitchen, Jin Ming also ran back. Chen Feng heard the noise, leaned sideways from the kitchen and looked out, and when he found out it was Jin Ming, he didn't care.

Well! My body is relatively clean, only the cotton shoes on my feet are dirty. There is nothing I can do about the dirty cotton shoes, because it snowed the day before yesterday.

As soon as the sun comes out today and the snow melts, won't the roads outside be covered in mud? I hope Jin Ling can understand and not punish Jin Ming too harshly!

Jin Ming entered the main room and saw Chen Feng sticking his head out of the kitchen, so he went to the kitchen door and asked Chen Feng, "Brother-in-law, what are we eating today?"

Chen Feng smiled at him and said, "There is still a piece of the black fish we caught last time. Let's eat it today, otherwise it will not taste good if we leave it behind.

Chen Feng turned and looked at the series of muddy footprints brought in by Jin Ming, and then said to Jin Ming again.

"Jin Ming, hurry up and clean up the mud on the ground and on your feet while your sister is still upstairs! Otherwise, when your sister comes down and sees you, she'll punish you!"

When Jin Ming heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, I understand. I'll go clean it up right away!"

Then Jin Ming turned around and went to the door to pick up the shovel. He first cleaned the mud off his feet, and then began to clean up the mud he had brought into the main room.

Just when Jin Ming was cleaning the mud, Chen Feng suddenly heard a loud "bang" outside, which sounded like Ma Leizi's voice.

However, when Chen Feng saw Jin Ming busy cleaning up the mud in the main room, he didn't think much about it and just thought that other children were playing with firecrackers.

After Jin Ming cleaned up all the mud in the house, he saw a book on the table, so he picked it up and started reading while waiting for Chen Feng to cook dinner.

At this time, Jin Ling, who came down from upstairs, saw Jin Ming reading a book. She observed him carefully and found that his upper body was relatively clean, so she didn't say much.

Jin Ling didn't care what book Jin Ming was reading. As long as he could concentrate on reading, it was a good thing, no matter if it was a novel or a textbook.

Reading novels can also broaden your horizons, right? Just think of it as increasing your knowledge reserves. Seeing Jin Ming reading, Jin Ling did not disturb him.

Jin Ling heard some noise in the kitchen. She knew without hesitation that it was Chen Feng cooking in the kitchen, so Jin Ling turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing Chen Feng cooking, Jin Ling also picked up a knife and helped Chen Feng cut the washed vegetables.

As for why there were green vegetables in the middle of winter, Jin Ling also asked Chen Feng this question a few days ago. Chen Feng’s answer was that his friend met someone selling green vegetables in the black market, so he bought some for him.

As for why Chen Feng had already given all his salary and savings to her, how could he still have money to buy such expensive vegetables, the smart Jin Ling did not ask any further questions.

In fact, she knew what was going on without asking Jin Ling. It must be that Chen Feng had hidden a secret stash of cash!

However, Jin Ling did not ask Chen Feng for the private money he had hidden. Jin Ling subconsciously thought that Chen Feng could not hide much money, so she did not ask any more questions.

Chen Feng saw that Jin Ling had not asked about the money for buying groceries, so he did not mention it either. So the two of them tacitly did not mention the matter.

Just when Chen Feng and Jin Ling were busy in the kitchen, Jia Zhang came to Chen Feng's door pulling Bang Geng, whose body and face were covered with cow dung.

Following behind Jia Zhang were Jia Dongxu and his wife, as well as Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

When other people in the yard saw Jia Zhang and his group walking towards the backyard in a threatening manner, they followed them out of curiosity.

As soon as Jia Zhang arrived at Chen Feng's door, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Chen Feng, come out! Come out and see your child playing with firecrackers and blowing up my precious grandson!"

Jia Zhang didn't say anything rude right away. Maybe she was frightened the last time Chen Feng sent her in, so she learned her lesson and didn't say any dirty words.

Chen Feng in the kitchen hadn't reacted yet. When Jin Ling heard that someone was hit by the explosion, she immediately lost her composure and rushed out without even putting down the kitchen knife in her hand.

Seeing this, Chen Feng no longer cared about the pork with green beans in the frying pan. He quickly moved the pot off the stove and rushed out.

Chen Feng was not afraid that Jin Ling would use a knife to chop Jia Zhang. If Jin Ling chopped Jia Zhang, Chen Feng would just have to pay some more money and be done with it.

What Chen Feng was afraid of was that Jin Ling didn't see anyone and ended up hurting herself. If that were the case, Chen Feng would be in pain for a long time!

But when Jin Ling heard that someone was hit by the explosion, she frowned and walked quickly to the door, then said solemnly, "Who was hit by the explosion? How is the injury?"

Jin Ling was really nervous at this moment. If Jin Ming really caused serious injuries to someone in the explosion, how much money would her family have to pay in compensation?

Jin Ling stood on the steps and glanced down, and found that the stick that Jia Zhang was leading was covered with cow dung.

So Jin Ling quickly raised her right hand, pointed at the stick and said, "Is this child injured by the explosion? Let me see if the injury is serious!"

Jin Ling still didn't realize that she was holding a knife in her hand! After she finished speaking, she wanted to go forward and check on Bang Geng to see how badly he was injured.

But at this time she looked a little scary in the eyes of other people. In the eyes of Jia Zhang and others, Jin Ling came out of the house with a kitchen knife in her hand, looking very aggressive.

Some of them looked like they would hack people if they disagreed with them, and even what Jin Ling said seemed like a threat to them.

Seeing Jin about to go down the stairs, Jia Dongxu, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai all shouted loudly, "Stand still!"

"Put the knife down!"

"Chen Feng's wife, don't move! Put the knife down first, and then talk properly!"

When Jia Zhang saw Jin Ling coming towards her with a knife in her hand, she pulled back with her stick, wanting to stay away from Jin Ling so that she would have time to run away if Jin Ling suddenly attacked her.

However, when Jia Zhang stepped back, she did not pay attention to Qin Huairu behind her, and as a result, Jia Zhang pushed Qin Huairu.

Then, she lost her balance and began to fall to the side. Qin Huairu grabbed Jia Zhang's sleeve, trying to support her and stop her from falling.

But Qin Huairu obviously overestimated her own strength and underestimated Jia Zhang's weight.

The result was that Qin Huairu not only failed to hold Jia Zhang steady, but she herself was dragged to the side. Not to mention the stick that Jia Zhang had been holding, which had already been dragged to the side and fallen down.

Sha Zhu, who had been standing behind Qin Huairu and smelling the "fairy air" from Qin Huairu, also suffered an unexpected disaster.

When Qin Huairu was dragged down by Jia Zhang, she kept waving her hands and grabbing everywhere. But she did manage to grab something. She felt something in her hand, but she didn't care what it was. She just pulled hard, trying to use the object to get up.

As soon as Qin Huairu exerted force, she heard Shazhu scream "Ah".

No one had time to react to Jia Zhang's series of actions until Sha Zhu's wailing sounded. Then everyone looked at Sha Zhu.

Zhi saw that Sha Zhu had already knelt down, curled up with a painful expression, and held Qin Huairu's hands tightly with both hands to prevent Qin Huairu from falling backwards.

He sucked in a breath of cold air and said to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin...Sister Qin! Let...let...let go!!"

Qin Huairu was in an awkward situation at this time. Due to the sudden incident just now, her body had not completely collapsed.

However, when she heard Sha Zhu's voice, she realized that something was wrong. She turned her head quickly to see what was going on.

When Qin Huairu finally saw what she was holding, her face instantly turned red. Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know how to deal with this situation.

However, out of instinct, she subconsciously let go of her hand.

However, Qin Huairu had not fallen down completely at this moment. Her letting go led to a result - with a "pop" sound, Qin Huairu fell heavily to the ground.

After Qin Huairu let go, Sha Zhu no longer cared about shame and face. He hurriedly put his hand into his crotch and fumbled around. When he took his hand out again, he actually had a
