Siheyuan: I just want to live

The sun shone through the window into the room, forming golden spots. Chen Feng lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the tranquility and comfort of the afternoon.

He took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of the sun. Gradually, his breathing became steady and deep, and he fell asleep.

About two hours later, Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes, stretched, and felt refreshed.

He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the house. Instead of riding his bike, he chose to walk to the scrapyard.

Along the way, he admired the scenery along the way and felt the warmth of the winter afternoon sun on his body.

When he arrived at the scrapyard, it was already past three in the afternoon. He first walked into the reception room and saw Jin Ling sitting there knitting a sweater.

Her face was filled with a happy smile, which made people feel very warm. Chen Feng smiled and nodded at her, then walked into the office.

Arriving at the office door, Chen Feng pushed it and found that it was not locked from the inside, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

When he entered the room, he saw Li Guotao processing documents in the office, so Chen Feng did not greet or remind him first.

Instead, he pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Li Guotao.

Perhaps the sound of Chen Feng pulling the chair was too loud, which reminded Li Guotao. He looked up, saw that it was Chen Feng, and immediately closed the document.

Li Guotao looked at Chen Feng sitting in front of him with a speechless look on his face. He shook his head gently and couldn't help complaining.

"Chen Feng, tell me, are you becoming more and more rude when you come to my place? You came in without even saying hello and just moved a chair and sat down! I really don't know what to say to you!"

When Chen Feng heard Li Guotao's words, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He bared his teeth, chuckled twice, and then responded.

"Stationmaster, we are so familiar with each other now, do we still need to be so hypocritical and polite? Besides, the relationship between us is not comparable to that of ordinary people."

When Li Guotao heard Chen Feng's words, although he felt helpless, he couldn't help but retort.

"No matter how familiar we are, I am still your leader after all! Can't you show me some respect? How can I still be a leader if someone sees me like this?"

When Chen Feng heard Li Guotao's words, he didn't take it too seriously. He knew that Li Guotao was not really angry and was just joking.

So, he smiled and said, "Okay, boss, let's not talk about this! What on earth did you want me to come here for today? You're not here to argue with me about these little things, are you?"

When Li Guotao heard Chen Feng ask this, he no longer cared about his rudeness, but talked seriously about work matters with Chen Feng.

Li Guotao slowly said, "Chen Feng, I'm not calling you here for any urgent matter. It's mainly about the New Year benefits for our company."

"I've seen the welfare list prepared by the headquarters. In addition to melon seeds and peanuts, there are only half a pound of brown sugar, half a pound of oil, and half a pound of meat. The supplies are indeed quite limited."

Chen Feng understood what Li Guotao said. As expected, just as Jin Ling expected, Li Guotao came to him this time because of the welfare issue.

Therefore, Chen Feng couldn't wait to interrupt Li Guotao before he finished speaking: "Stationmaster, I understand! When I return later, I will go to the countryside to purchase! I must bring back a big wild boar for you!"

When Li Guotao heard what Chen Feng said, his face immediately lit up with excitement, and then he said to Chen Feng excitedly: "Haha, Chen Feng, I knew you were reliable!"

Then, he added with a hint of complaint: "Unlike those useless purchasing staff at headquarters, who can't even buy meat during the New Year!"

Li Guotao's words made Chen Feng feel a little embarrassed, and he really didn't know how to respond.

After all, if he didn't own a space where he raised hundreds of domestic pigs and wild boars, perhaps he would really become an incompetent purchaser as Li Guotao said.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng could only smile helplessly and wait quietly for Li Guotao to continue speaking.

Seeing that Chen Feng was silent and just grinning, Li Guotao hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Chen Feng! Although having wild boars is good, can we replace them with domestic pigs?"

Chen Feng almost popped his eyes out when he heard what Li Guotao said. He looked at Li Guotao in disbelief, thinking what kind of request was this! Wild boars replaced with domestic pigs! This is simply a fantasy!

If he took out a wild boar, Chen Feng could explain that he had hunted it in the mountains and then sold it to the scrap yard.

But if it was a domestic pig, how would he explain it? Should he say he had hunted a wild boar in the mountains? But the problem is, who would believe such a ridiculous statement?

Seeing that Chen Feng still didn't say anything, Li Guotao thought that he had acquiesced, so he asked tentatively: "How is it? Chen Feng, do you agree? If you agree, then let's do this!"

Chen Feng was so angry at Li Guotao's words that he lost control of his emotions for a moment. He immediately stood up and shouted, "What do you mean I agree to this? How can this be considered an agreement?"

Fortunately, Chen Feng still had some rationality. He knew that he had caused a lot of trouble over the years and it was Li Guotao who cleaned up the mess for him, so he did not swear at Li Guotao.

If it were an ordinary person, Chen Feng would have scolded him by now.

"My dear stationmaster! Wild boars are easy to deal with. At worst, I can just go to the mountains to hunt them! But what about domestic pigs?"

"Now the pigs that were not planned in the commune brigade have already been bought by the big factories. At this time, you want me to go find pigs for you?"

Li Guotao looked at Chen Feng who was so excited, and quickly stood up and said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, don't be excited! Come, let's sit down and talk slowly!"

When Chen Feng heard Li Guotao say this, he also sat down while listening to his comforting voice.

But after sitting down, Chen Feng still muttered, "Stationmaster, there are really no domestic pigs. Even wild boars depend on luck!"

Li Guotao listened to Chen Feng's mumbling and said with a smile, "Chen Feng, stop pretending. I know you can get a domestic pig!"

When Chen Feng heard Li Guotao say this, he immediately retorted, "Who said that! I can't get it! Who told you I can get it? Go find that person!"

Li Guotao listened to Chen Feng's rebuttal, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he continued, "If you can't get it, then what about the big pork leg you bring to my uncle's house every year?"

"Also, every time I went to visit Uncle Huang and his family during the New Year, I always saw a room full of pork. If it wasn't you who sent it, where did Uncle Huang and his family get the meat?"

"I've already discovered it, so stop pretending with me!"

Chen Feng listened to Li Guotao's words and really understood how Li Guotao knew he could get the meat.

Seeing this, Chen Feng had no choice but to say, "I can only get so much meat every year. If I give it all to you, what about Old Man Huang and your uncle's family?"

When Li Guotao heard what Chen Feng said, he said confidently, "Don't I know you? How could you only get this far?"

When Chen Feng heard what he said, he left the office and turned around and walked out.

Li Guotao saw Chen Feng walking out and quickly said, "Chen Feng, where are you going? We haven't finished talking yet!"

If they continue talking, Chen Feng doesn’t know what shocking words Li Guotao can say.

So Chen Fengtou didn't even reply and said angrily, "My great leader! I'll go get you some meat!"

When Li Guotao heard what Chen Feng said, he laughed.

After Chen Feng left and opened the office door, Li Guotao seemed to remember something and shouted to Chen Feng again.

"By the way, Chen Feng, when you bring your children to visit me this year, bring some of the tomatoes and cucumbers you sent to my uncle. I want some too!"

Chen Feng did not answer Li Guotao's words. Instead, he quickly closed the door and ran out of the scrap yard!

When passing by the message room, he did not dare to say a word to Jin Ling, for fear that Li Guotao would chase him out and ask for things while he was talking to Jin Ling.

When Chen Feng ran far enough, he stopped, leaned against the wall by the roadside, and gasped for breath.

After resting for a while, Chen Feng strolled back to the courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard, Chen Feng also found that he had nothing to do. As for going to the countryside to purchase goods? That's impossible! It's so cold, whoever wants to go can go!

So Chen Feng went back to bed upstairs and sat down to read a book. When it was almost time, he got up and went downstairs to make dinner for Jin Ling.

When the meal was ready, Jin Ling came back from get off work with her two children. The family sat together and started eating, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

While eating, Jin Ling looked at Chen Feng and suddenly said, "By the way, honey, why are you running so fast today?"

Chen Feng didn't react at first, but then he realized that she was referring to his previous hasty departure, so he replied with a smile.

"Isn't it because the task given by Stationmaster Li is too difficult? If I don't run faster, I don't know what other tasks he will give me!"

After hearing this, Jin Ling couldn't help but ask curiously, "What task is it? Is it difficult?"

Chen Feng felt warm at the sight of her concerned expression, but he still replied lightly, "It's OK! I can handle it, don't worry about it."

Seeing that Chen Feng was unwilling to say more, Jin Ling stopped asking and instead admonished, "Then don't tire yourself out, husband!"

Chen Feng nodded and responded gently: "Yes, I know!"

The dinner ended with such a heartwarming conversation. After the meal, Chen Feng took the two children upstairs, while Jin Ling went to wash the dishes.

Chen Feng played with the two little ones on the bed upstairs for a while. Then Jin Ling went upstairs, washed the hands and feet of the two children, and then tucked them into bed.

Chen Feng took this opportunity to wash his feet and go to sleep.
