Siheyuan: I just want to live

Just when Chen Feng was about to finish the meal, Jin Ling returned home after finishing a day's work. In fact, Jin Ming had already returned home and was now staying in his room, doing his homework seriously.

As soon as Jin Ling walked into the house, she immediately smelled the rich aroma of stewed fish. After taking a closer look, she could also distinguish the tempting aroma of chicken and twice-cooked pork.

Without giving it too much thought, Jin Ling knew very well that it must be her "spendthrift" husband showing off his skills in the kitchen again.

Jin Ling was too lazy to say anything more about this situation. She knew that even if she tried to persuade him, her stubborn husband would never listen.

Thinking back to when they had just gotten married, Jin Ling had reminded Chen Feng many times, but he always gave in perfunctorily, agreeing verbally but still doing his own thing the next time.

Gradually, Jin Ling realized that Chen Feng would not listen, so she stopped wasting her breath.

Chen Feng, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard some noise at the door, so he looked outside and found that it was Jin Ling who had returned from get off work.

"Jinling, you're back? Are you busy at work today?" Chen Feng asked Jin Ling.

"You've worked in this position before, what's the big deal about guarding the gate?" Jin Ling replied.

"That's good. You've worked hard all day. Let's wash our hands and get ready for dinner." Chen Feng said.

He also knew that his question was a bit redundant, but Chen Feng knew that what women want is a relationship with men, right?

"Okay." Jin Ling responded and went into the bathroom to wash her hands.

Chen Feng continued to cook, humming a little tune while cooking, and was in a particularly happy mood.

"Chen Feng, what did you cook? It smells so delicious." Jin Ling walked out of the bathroom and smelled the aroma of the food, and couldn't help asking.

"Haha, they are all home-cooked dishes, but I added some of my own creativity. I guarantee you will enjoy the meal." Chen Feng replied with a smile.

"Really? Then I must try it." Jin Ling said expectantly.

At this time, Chen Feng suddenly remembered that he hadn't called Jin Ming to eat yet, so he said to the outside: "Jin Ling, call Jin Ming who is writing in the room to come out and wash his hands and eat! I'm about to finish the dishes!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling responded to Chen Feng in the kitchen: "Okay, husband, I got it! I'll go call him right away!"

After that, Jin Ling went to call Jin Ming to eat. She knocked on the door and said softly, "Jin Ming, come out to eat."

When Jin Ming heard her sister's voice, she immediately responded, "I know, sister. I'll be right there!"

Then Jin Ming put down the pen in his hand, packed up his homework and books, and walked out of the room and came to the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main room, Jin Ming found that the dining table was already filled with sumptuous dishes.

"Wow, so many delicious foods!" Jin Ming exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, these are all carefully prepared by your brother-in-law. Let's wash our hands and eat." Jin Ling said, and walked to the bathroom with Jin Ming.

Chen Feng quickly prepared the dishes and brought them to the table, and then the three of them began to eat dinner. They ate and talked, sharing each other's experiences and feelings of the day, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

While Chen Feng and his family were having dinner, Jia Dongxu arrived at Chen Feng's door. He saw that the kitchen door was not closed, but he did not dare to go in directly.

Instead, he shouted at Chen Feng who was eating in the room at the door, "Chen Feng, the uncle said that there will be a meeting of the whole hospital at 7 o'clock in the evening! I came to inform you! Don't be late!"

Chen Feng didn't know what Yi Zhonghai was up to, but Chen Feng still responded to Jia Dongxu at the door, "Okay! I know, I'll go after dinner, I won't be late!"

"That's fine, I'll leave first!"

Then Jia Dongxu struggled to move his gaze away from the dining table at Chen Feng's house, and reluctantly left the door of Chen Feng's house.

It’s no wonder that Jia Dongxu is like this. The Jia family hasn’t had a decent meal of meat for almost half a year.

Every time I borrowed dishes from Sha Zhu, there was hardly any meat at all, just some green vegetables with a little meat flavor at best.

Chen Feng, who was eating in the house, did not feel sorry for Jia Dongxu, nor did he invite him to come in and eat together. He simply ignored him.

Jin Ling is the same as Chen Feng. Normally, she would not even bother to cook these meat dishes when Chen Feng is not at home, so how could she possibly invite Jia Dongxu!

What's more, Jin Ling has been in the courtyard for almost a year and has figured out what kind of people the neighbors are.

If he knew more about the Jia family's style of doing things, he would not have invited Jia Dongxu.

As for Jin Ming, he is just a child and he doesn't think the meat on the table is enough for him. Do you still expect him to invite Jia Dongxu to eat with him?

After Jia Dongxu left, Chen Feng and his friends finally finished their dinner. As usual, Jin Ling cleaned up the table and went into the kitchen to wash the pots and pans.

After Jin Ling came out after washing the dishes, Chen Feng looked at the time and found that it was almost seven o'clock.

So Chen Feng asked Jin Ling, "Jin Ling, do you want to go to the college meeting today?"

Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said and shook her head and said, "Honey, I won't go. I still have to watch Jin Ming practice calligraphy later. Honey, you should go by yourself this time!"

Chen Feng heard Jin Ling's answer, nodded, and said, "Okay! I'll go alone."

So Chen Feng lit a cigarette, then smoked and walked slowly towards the central courtyard.

When Chen Feng arrived at the central courtyard, a lot of people had already gathered in front of Shazhu's door.

Chen Feng spotted Xu Damao in the crowd, so he walked to Xu Damao's side and asked him, "Xu Damao, didn't you go to the countryside to show a movie today?"

When Xu Damao heard someone calling him, he turned around quickly and found that it was Chen Feng.

Seeing Chen Feng holding a cigarette in his mouth, Xu Damao said to Chen Feng, "We are not going to the countryside today. We will go there tomorrow and stay in the countryside for two days. By the way, Chen Feng, give me a cigarette!"

Chen Feng was also helpless when he saw Xu Damao asking him for cigarettes as soon as they met. So he said while giving Xu Damao a cigarette.

"Xu Damao, you've been earning your own salary for more than half a year, how is it possible that you don't have any money in your pocket? Can't you buy yourself some good cigarettes?"

When Xu Damao heard what Chen Feng said, he smiled and said, "I have also moved up a level now, and I smoke Pegasus, but it is still a little worse than your Peony."

"Besides, I have to keep my job to get married! I can't just spend it all on buying good cigarettes, Chen Feng, don't you think so?"

Chen Feng listened to Xu Damao's words and rolled his eyes at him. How could Chen Feng not know where his salary went? Chen Feng was just too lazy to expose him.

So Chen Feng changed the subject and said, "Xu Damao, do you know why we have a meeting today?"

Xu Damao was also stunned when he heard Chen Feng's words, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either. As soon as I entered the gate of the courtyard, I heard the third uncle say that there was going to be a meeting."

"It is said that this whole hospital meeting was called at the request of Yi Zhonghai, but the third uncle did not tell me in detail what it was about."

Xu Damao glanced at Chen Feng again and said, "Chen Feng, is this meeting held for you? Every time the uncle holds a meeting of the whole hospital, it is because of you! This is the reason too, right?"

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! I haven't seen Yi Zhonghai much recently."

"I haven't had any conflicts with anyone else, so why would he hold a meeting just for me? You're overthinking it!"

After listening to Chen Feng's words, Xu Damao nodded. He hadn't heard that Chen Feng had any conflicts with anyone recently. It seemed that today's meeting could not have been held for Chen Feng.

So Xu Damao also raised a puzzled voice: "What is the meeting about?"

Chen Feng took a puff of his cigarette and said indifferently, "Who knows? Let's just wait here! Yi Zhonghai will definitely tell us when the meeting starts!"

When Xu Damao heard what Chen Feng said, he nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, let's wait until the meeting to hear what the uncle has to say!"

While Chen Feng and Xu Damao were chatting, Qin Huairu also came. She was wearing a ragged grey dress and a ponytail, and looked much more miserable than usual.

As soon as Qin Huairu came, she attracted the attention of many men. Seeing this, Xu Damao stared at her with his eyes wide open and almost drooled.

He leaned close to Chen Feng's ear and whispered, "See, Qin Huairu looks very good even in her old clothes today."

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him, then said, "Qin Huairu is already married, so quickly put away that lewd look of yours!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xu Damao chuckled a few times, then shifted his gaze away from Qin Huairu, and then said to Chen Feng with a smile.

"What kind of obscene look do you think? I am looking at you with admiration. Please don't think I am such a dirty person, okay?"

Chen Feng heard what Xu Damao said and looked at Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were wearing some old clothes today.

Chen Feng also saw several patches on Qin Huairu's clothes. It seems that this dress should have been worn by Qin Huairu when she was in the countryside!

I don’t know why Qin Huairu wore this dress today?

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, so Chen Feng stopped thinking about it. He looked up and found that almost all the big neighbors in the courtyard had come.

It won't be long before Yi Zhonghai and the other three managers will come out. So Chen Feng put out the cigarette in his hand and waited quietly for Yi Zhonghai and the others.

Chen Feng didn't have to wait long before Yi Zhonghai brought Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong to the table.

After the three of them sat down, Yi Zhonghai was the first to speak, "Is everyone here?"

While Yi Zhonghai was speaking, his eyes were scanning the faces of the crowd one by one, checking to see if anyone was late or absent.
