Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Jin Ling finished a busy day at work, she pushed her bicycle with a heavy piece of wild boar meat weighing about seven or eight kilograms hanging on one of the handlebars.

Two plump chickens and two lively fish were hung on the other handlebar, and two children followed behind him as he slowly walked into the house.

At this moment, Chen Feng, who was carefully serving the last dish in the kitchen, glimpsed through the window and saw Jin Ling returning with two lovely children and a pile of sumptuous ingredients.

His heart tightened and he quickly put down the dishes in his hands, rushed forward in two steps, and unloaded the heavy objects from Jin Ling's car in a flustered but gentle manner.

After finally unloading all the things, Chen Feng immediately said to Jin Ling: "Oh, dear, why did you take so many things home? What if you get tired out?"

His tone was full of concern and heartache.

However, Jin Ling just smiled slightly, with a firm and optimistic look in her eyes. She responded softly: "Look at what you said, I'm not that delicate! This little thing can't tire me out at all!"

Then, an even brighter smile appeared on her face, and she continued.

"Besides, these are all benefits given by the company to employees! They don't cost a penny, so I have to take them all home! These things are enough for our family to eat well for a while!"

Hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng couldn't help but reveal a trace of helplessness, and slowly said: "Well, if that's the case, then forget about the chicken and fish."

"But why did you bring that wild boar meat back? It doesn't taste very good!"

Hearing this, Jin Ling glared at Chen Feng fiercely and retorted unhappily: "Humph, you should be content with having meat to eat. You are still being picky here!"

Then she softened her tone a little, but still continued with some dissatisfaction: "Besides, this is a benefit given by the company. I can't just throw it away, right?"

Seeing that Jin Ling seemed a little angry, Chen Feng quickly explained: "Oh, dear, I didn't mean to ask you to throw it away!"

"My idea is that you can take the wild boar meat to the recycling station and exchange it for other people in need."

"This way, we can save some extra money. After all, we have to plan ahead and save more money so that we can find a wife for Jin Ming in the future, right?"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling still rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, then curled her lips and said in a bad tone: "Humph, you are the only one who has so many crooked ideas, and you don't even want the meat!"

When Chen Feng saw that Jin Ling seemed to be about to get angry again, his heart tightened and he quickly apologized with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The food is ready, come and eat! The little ones must be starving!"

Jin Ling looked at Chen Feng and quickly changed the subject. Although she was still a little unhappy, she was too lazy to continue to argue about it. She simply stood up and led the children to the bathroom and asked them to wash their hands first.

Seeing this scene, Chen Feng also quickly walked to the door and shouted loudly towards the room where Jin Ming was.

"Jin Ming, stop doing your homework! The meal is ready, come out and eat!"

Jin Ming, who was studying hard in the house, suddenly heard Chen Feng's shout. He immediately put down the pen in his hand and responded loudly: "Hey! Brother-in-law, I know! I'll be there right away!"

After the family finished their meal and washed up, they went upstairs to sleep.

Nothing in the night

The next day, after breakfast, when Jin Ling was about to go to work, Chen Feng told Jin Ling that he was going fishing with Old Man Li today and would not be back at noon, so he asked her to get something to eat by herself at noon.

Then he took his fishing gear, engineer shovel and some dry food and went to the alley to wait for Old Man Li to send a car to pick him up.

Not long after, Chen Feng saw a jeep slowly approaching him and stopped steadily. Chen Feng looked closely and saw that the person sitting in the driver's seat was actually Old Man Li's orderly - Brother Zhang.

Seeing this, Chen Feng hurried forward and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhang, how come you drove here in person to pick me up!"

Hearing this, Brother Zhang also grinned and responded cheerfully: "Hey, I'm not worried that other people won't recognize you. What if I pick up the wrong person? So I feel more at ease making this trip by myself!"

"Oh, that's right! Didn't the commander tell me that you were waiting at the gate of the yard? Why did you come here?" Brother Zhang asked curiously.

After hearing this, Chen Feng smiled and explained, "Oh! I thought this alley is too narrow and it might be difficult for the car to drive in. So I just waited for you at the entrance of the alley!"

After listening to Chen Feng's words, Brother Zhang turned his head and glanced at the alley behind Chen Feng. As expected, the alley was not very spacious.

Although vehicles can drive in, it is indeed difficult to turn around and get out.

So he nodded slightly to show his agreement, then turned to look at Chen Feng and said in a firm tone: "Well, in that case, then you should get in the car quickly! You know, the chief has already arrived at the destination, we can't keep him waiting for too long!"

After hearing this, Chen Feng knew that there was no point in delaying, so he said no more and got on the jeep. After Brother Zhang saw Chen Feng sitting down safely, he stepped on the accelerator without hesitation and started the vehicle instantly.

It has to be said that today's automobile shock absorption system really needs to be improved.

Sitting in the car, Chen Feng felt as if he was in a small boat sailing on a rough sea, being tossed around all over.

The intense vibration almost made him vomit out all the breakfast he had eaten in the morning.

What's worse is that when Chen Feng first got in the car, for safety reasons, he instinctively wanted to find and fasten his seat belt.

However, when he leaned sideways to feel around, he was shocked to find that the car was not equipped with seat belts at all!

When Chen Feng noticed this situation, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a thought instantly flashed through his mind: If I can successfully get the seat belt out, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

However, Chen Feng then began to recall that he seemed to have heard a blogger mention related information while watching a video.

According to the blogger, as early as 1955, the Micra Ford sedan was equipped with car seat belts, although they were a simple two-point design at the time.

But what is striking is that in 1963, Volvo Car Corporation actually applied for and obtained a patent for the three-point car seat belt invented by Niels, and quickly applied it to its own cars.

Now it is 1966, and Chen Feng has just noticed the existence of car seat belts. Isn't it too late?

If I had just traveled here, I might have had a chance to seize the opportunity and earn a lucrative profit from capitalism. But what about now? I can only smile helplessly...

Thinking of this, Chen Feng decided not to continue to dwell on the issue of the seat belt. After all, he had already missed the opportunity, and no amount of thinking would help.

So, he quickly adjusted his mindset and shifted his attention, thinking in his mind about what else could be found that was easy to get started with, and that he could sell to foreigners and earn some foreign exchange.

Brother Zhang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was concentrating on controlling the steering wheel, his eyes always fixed on the road ahead, and he didn't pay any attention to Chen Feng's every move beside him.

The car swayed and rose and fell as it moved forward, like a nimble fish swimming through the streets of the city.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination - the bank of the Yongding River. When the car stopped, Chen Feng didn't even have time to look around, and couldn't wait to open the door.

He staggered a few steps to a big tree, supported the trunk with one hand, then bent down and vomited violently.

The bumpy ride was really unbearable for Chen Feng. He was never carsick before, but today he was so uncomfortable with the shaking that he couldn't help but vomit.

Chen Feng felt mixed emotions at the moment, not knowing how to express his feelings. Should he blame the poor road conditions of this era?

Was it the shabby car that was to blame? Or was it the driver? For a moment, he was deeply entangled.

At this moment, Chen Feng missed the wide, flat and interconnected roads of later generations.

If there were such convenient and comfortable transportation conditions, perhaps he would not have suffered such torture. However, the reality is cruel, and now he can only endure it all silently.

Finally, Chen Feng vomited out everything in his stomach, and immediately felt much more relaxed. He slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his upset stomach.

"Chen Feng, are you okay? Come and wipe your mouth with this!"

At this time, a hand handed Chen Feng a handkerchief, and at the same time Chen Feng heard the voice of Brother Zhang behind him.

Chen Feng borrowed the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and then said, "I'm fine, it's just that the car was too bumpy, I'll be fine if I spit it out!"

When Brother Zhang heard Chen Feng say this, he said, "I'm glad you're okay. Actually, it's always like this the first time you take a car. The first time I took a car, I vomited more than you did!"

"You just need to get used to it in the future. Look, I'm used to it now, right?"

After hearing what Brother Zhang said, Chen Feng really wanted to say, why didn’t I vomit when I was riding in the steel rolling mill’s truck? Could it be that the vomiting this time was not caused by your driving skills?

But Chen Feng didn't say it in the end, as these words were really hurtful.
