Siheyuan: I just want to live

After finishing this topic, Chen Feng was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. Then he asked Zhang Jianjun again: "Jianjun, where is your father-in-law? Why didn't I see him today?"

Hearing Chen Feng's question, Zhang Jianjun took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled the smoke slowly, his eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions, and replied leisurely: "I went back to Baoding, left the day before yesterday!"

"He went back to Baoding? Why would he go back? Don't you two want him to stay in Beijing?"

Chen Feng was very surprised to hear Zhang Jianjun say this, and at the same time he was full of doubts. He really couldn't understand why He Daqing wanted to leave Sijiucheng and return to Baoding.

After all, he was already old, wouldn't it be better for him to retire in the old city? Why did he have to travel back to Baoding?

When Zhang Jianjun heard Chen Feng's question, he immediately shook his head and retorted, "How could that be possible! If he is willing to stay in Sijiu City, Yu Shui and I would welcome him in no time! How could we not like him?"

"Before he left, he said that the two children in Baoding were still young and he was worried about them, so he decided to go back and take care of them."

After hearing Zhang Jianjun's words, Chen Feng hadn't said anything yet, but Yu Shui, who was chatting with Jin Ling, suddenly interrupted and said, "How could he bear to give up the child at that time? I think he just couldn't bear to leave that widow!"

Hearing Yu Shui's words, Zhang Jianjun smiled helplessly at Chen Feng. Although he also agreed with Yu Shui's words, as a son-in-law, he was not in a position to make too many comments on his father-in-law.

Chen Feng also smiled at Zhang Jianjun, showing his understanding. After all, every family has its own problems, and he could understand Zhang Jianjun's situation.

Jin Ling, who was chatting with Yu Shui, heard Yu Shui suddenly say this and quickly said to Yu Shui: "Okay, Yu Shui, you are a grown woman, you should be careful with your words and don't let others laugh at you!"

She knew very well that in such a crowded environment, any words might cause unnecessary trouble, so she chose her words with extreme caution.

However, Yu Shui did not notice this, and her words still seemed a little flippant.

When she heard Jin Ling's reminder, she realized her mistake, but she could not suppress her inner dissatisfaction and grievance.

"Sister-in-law Jinling, you don't know..." Yu Shui lowered his voice and confided his troubles to Jin Ling.

Jin Ling listened quietly to the rain's complaints. Even though she didn't want to hear it, she listened patiently out of politeness.

Yu Shui seemed unaware of Jin Ling's helplessness and continued to talk about her own difficulties.

Jin Ling, who was gentle and kind, could also empathize with Yu Shui's grievances. Listening to her complaints, Jin Ling had no good solution and could only comfort her constantly.

Chen Feng and Zhang Jianjun on the side watched all this silently, and a trace of sympathy welled up in their hearts.

Yu Shui's experience is indeed pitiful. She lost her mother early, her father left without saying goodbye, and her brother is unreliable. Growing up in such a family environment, it is a miracle that she can get to where she is today.

Chen Feng was relieved to see that Yu Shui's emotions gradually stabilized under Jin Ling's comfort. Chen Feng was really afraid that Yu Shui's emotions would suddenly explode.

If the grievances she had been holding in her heart for so many years had suddenly exploded just now, Chen Feng couldn't imagine the consequences.

So Chen Feng whispered to Zhang Jianjun again, "Jianjun! You and Yu Shui have been married for a while, but I see that Yu Shui doesn't seem to have any reaction?"

"Look, she's holding Xixi tightly and won't let go. She must really like the child!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhang Jianjun's face turned red instantly, and he didn't know how to respond to Chen Feng for a moment.

Zhang Jianjun didn't expect Chen Feng to suddenly ask this question.

After a long silence, Zhang Jianjun said shyly, "Brother Chen, Yu Shui's health is still too poor. We want to take care of Yu Shui's health first, and then have a child."

Hearing Zhang Jianjun say this, Chen Feng turned around and looked at Yu Shui who was talking to Jin Ling.

Hmm! My body is indeed a little thin.

Although Yu Shui is a little fatter now than before she got married, the amount of fat is very limited. Judging from her current appearance, she is indeed not suitable for having children.

So Chen Feng turned around, his eyes fell on Zhang Jianjun gently, and he said slowly: "Yu Shui's physical condition does not look good, and he needs to recuperate for a while."

After a brief pause, Chen Feng continued, "In a few days I will be working as the deputy director of the farm under the steel plant."

Chen Feng spoke to Zhang Jianjun in a calm tone, as if this was a very normal thing.

Then, Chen Feng continued to instruct: "If you and Yu Shui lack food or nutrients in the future, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you solve the problem."

When Chen Feng said this, his eyes were full of concern. After all, she was the girl he had watched grow up!

When Zhang Jianjun heard Chen Feng's words, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He said to Chen Feng with tears of gratitude: "Then Brother Chen, I would like to thank you here first. If that day really comes, I hope Brother Chen will take care of me!"

The reason why Zhang Jianjun was so excited was that he had just experienced the most difficult period, and he was still frightened by the feeling of going hungry for nine meals in three days.

Although his father was once the deputy director, he almost never had enough to eat during those years because he had to support his relatives.

Therefore, when he heard that Chen Feng was willing to help, his heart was filled with gratitude. In any case, this was also good news.

When Chen Feng heard what Zhang Jianjun said, he just smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have to thank me, I just did it for the sake of convenience!"

When Zhang Jianjun heard what Chen Feng said, although he knew that what Chen Feng said was the truth, he still said to Chen Feng.

"Brother Chen, this may be a convenient thing for you, but for our family, it may be a chance to survive in the future!"

When Chen Feng heard his words, he didn't know how to respond for a moment. In today's society, food is undoubtedly a vital resource for survival.

Looking back on his previous life, Chen Feng did not have a deep understanding of the importance of food at that time.

However, after he traveled to this world, through personal experience and observation, he gradually understood the preciousness of food.

Seeing that Chen Feng remained silent, Zhang Jianjun did not continue to ask questions, but silently took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the cigarette, put it in his mouth without hesitation, and then skillfully struck a match to light it.

At the same time, Zhang Jianjun also lit a cigarette, and then the two of them quietly enjoyed the relaxation brought by the tobacco, waiting for Secretary Zhao to come out and preside over the meeting of the whole institute.

Time passed quickly, and not long after, Chen Feng saw Secretary Zhao slowly walking out of Yi Zhonghai's house.

There were four or five other people coming out with him, including men, women, young and old, and they looked like a family.

Chen Feng guessed at a glance that this family should be the residents who were rearranged to live in the Yi family.

As to whether they were arranged to live here by the street office or whether they were workers from the steel rolling mill assigned to this yard, no one knows.

Although Chen Feng knew what was going on, the other residents in the yard did not know the truth!

When everyone saw the family that came out with Officer Zhao, they immediately started chattering.

"Hey, who are they? Why did they walk out of Old Yi's house?"

"Who knows? I don't know either!"

"They came out of Old Yi's house. Will they live in Old Yi's house in the future?"

"Live at Old Yi's? If they live at Old Yi's, where does that old lady live?"

"Why are you still calling her Auntie? We don't even have an Uncle in charge of our hospital anymore, so how can there be an Auntie?"

"Oops! I forgot, isn't this called a habit?"

Everyone in the courtyard was chattering, but Chen Feng and Qin Huairu did not join in. Chen Feng had a general understanding of the situation, so he chose to remain silent.

However, Qin Huairu frowned at this moment, staring at the family that walked out of Yi Zhonghai's house. Looking at the old and young in this family, Qin Huairu felt more and more uneasy.

She had a premonition that the carefully planned calculations in her mind that she had not yet implemented would fail again.

What is Qin Huairu's plan?

It can be said that her plan was very simple, that is, to find an opportunity to tell Auntie that she would take care of her and help her in her old age. Then, she would move into Auntie's house.

In this way, you can not only solve the problem of housing shortage at home, but also give yourself a relatively independent space, killing two birds with one stone.

Because Qin Huairu's man Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, although both of them are gone now, it is reasonable for Qin Huairu to provide for Jia Dongxu's master's wife in her old age.

After all, a master and his apprentice are like father and son, and it is only natural for the apprentice to take care of the master in his old age. Moreover, Qin Huairu also knew that the aunt's health was not very good and needed someone to take care of her.

If she offered to take care of the aunt, she would not only gain the aunt's gratitude, but also win the favor of other people in the courtyard.

Maybe she could even gain a good reputation as a filial daughter in the courtyard, the street office, and the steel mill. In this way, she could establish a good image in the courtyard, and if she encountered any difficulties in the future, there would be people willing to help her.

Moreover, if she can really take good care of the aunt, she may get praise and rewards from the factory, which will help her work and life.

Under the pretext of providing for the aunt's retirement, the Jia family could legitimately take Yi Zhonghai's two houses into their name.

In this way, the Jia family will have three houses, which can better arrange the living of family members. Moreover, the property rights of the two houses will also belong to the Jia family, and there is no need to worry about them being taken back or taken away by others.

As for the matter of the steel mill coming to claim the house after Auntie died, Qin Huairu was even less worried.

Qin Huairu is a widow with a child. If she really doesn't move, will the steel mill really send the security department to drive her away?

After all, Qin Huairu's man Jia Dongxu died in the steel mill. The steel mill would not dare to do anything excessive for the sake of face, if not for anything else.

As long as the steel mill does not use violence, Qin Huairu will definitely not give up the house.

But now the situation has changed. Now Yi Zhonghai's house has obviously been assigned to someone else, which makes Qin Huairu very uncomfortable.
