Siheyuan: I just want to live

After a comfortable night's sleep, Chen Feng woke up at about six o'clock the next day. He stretched himself lazily, feeling the fresh air in the morning, and felt particularly relaxed.

After getting up, Chen Feng started to get busy as usual. He walked into the kitchen, tied on his apron, and skillfully made breakfast.

He was busy frying eggs and cooking porridge. Soon, delicious breakfasts were placed on the table.

It was past seven o'clock before Chen Feng woke up the other people in the family.

The family sat together, enjoying this warm family time. While eating breakfast, they talked about asking someone to find a job for Jin Ming at the banquet last night.

After breakfast, Chen Feng and his wife Jin Ling were about to go out to work when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Chen Feng frowned and thought, "Who would knock on our door so early?"

But no matter who it was, Chen Feng always had to go and take a look, so he hurried to the door and opened the courtyard gate.

When Chen Feng opened the door, he saw a car parked at the door and Hou Debang standing at the door with a smile on his face.

Chen Feng was very surprised when he saw Hou Debang, and asked in confusion: "Brother Hou, why is it you? Is there something you want to see me so early this morning?"

Hou Debang smiled and replied, "Brother Chen, today is your first day at work, I must come to pick you up and take you to work!"

When Chen Feng heard what Hou Debang said, he said embarrassedly, "Brother Hou! I can go to work by myself, why bother you to pick me up? I am so sorry!"

Seeing Chen Feng say this, Hou Debang said with a smile, "Hey! Brother Chen, since I introduced you to the steel plant, of course I have to be responsible for sending you to your post, so that I can rest assured!"

"Besides, today I'm not only here to pick you and Jin Ling up for work, I'm also here to pick up Jin Ming! It's just right that we can get Jin Ming started at work today!"

When Chen Feng heard Hou Debang say that he would help Jin Ming join the company, he was immediately delighted. He had not expected that Hou Debang would be so efficient. What was discussed at the dinner table yesterday was to be done today.

However, Chen Feng was very happy about this. After all, the sooner Jin Ming's matter was dealt with, the more at ease Chen Feng would be.

So Chen Feng stopped making excuses and said very humbly, "Then I won't refuse anymore! But I still want to thank you very much, Brother Hou!"

Hou Debang waved his hand nonchalantly, and then said, "What's there to talk about gratitude between us brothers? This is what I, as the elder brother, should do!"

After saying this, Hou Debang asked Chen Feng again, "Brother Chen, have you had breakfast? If so, shall we go now?"

Seeing him ask this, Chen Feng quickly responded, "Brother Hou, I just finished breakfast!"

"Why don't you come in first and wait for a while. I'll let Jin Ming and Jin Ling pack up, and then we'll leave!"

Hou Debang heard what Chen Feng said, waved his hand and said, "I won't go in. I'll get in the car and sit for a while. You go back and call them out. I'll wait for you in the car."

Chen Feng listened to him and nodded slightly, then said, "Okay, Brother Hou, wait a moment, I'll go get someone!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Hou Debang nodded with a smile and didn't say anything more. Seeing this, Chen Feng said nothing more and turned around and walked into the yard.

Soon, Chen Feng returned to the main hall. After seeing Jin Ling and her brother, Chen Feng immediately said, "Jin Ling, Brother Hou is here to pick us up for work. Have you packed? If you have, let's go!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling immediately said, "Honey, I've done it, we can leave now."

Hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng nodded slightly and asked Jin Ming beside him, "Jin Ming, what about you? Brother Hou just came and took you to the job. Are you ready?"

Jin Ming was slightly stunned when he heard Chen Feng's words. He did not expect Uncle Hou to be so efficient. Everything that happened last night was arranged today.

However, Jin Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, I'm ready too! We can go now!"

Seeing that they both said they were ready, Chen Feng said, "Okay, since everything is ready, let's take the children and go!"

Then Chen Feng and the other two took the two children and walked towards the door.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Feng had just locked the gate when Hou Debang got out of the car when he saw Chen Feng's family coming out.

He stood beside the car, waved at Chen Feng and said, "Brother Chen! This way!"

After hearing the voice, Chen Feng turned around and saw Hou Debang. He waved to him and then led his family in the direction of Hou Debang.

When they got to the car, Hou Debang immediately said, "Brother Chen, hurry up and get in the car. It's getting late now, so let's hurry up!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Feng immediately said, "Hey! Listen to Brother Hou, let's go now!"

As he spoke, Chen Feng opened the back door of the car, and the whole family squeezed in. After Hou Debang saw that Chen Feng and his family were seated, he also sat in the passenger seat and then instructed the driver to drive.

From near to far, Hou Debang first sent Jin Ling to the supply and marketing cooperative to work.

The car slowly stopped, and there were already quite a few people queuing up to shop at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

After the car stopped, Chen Feng got out first, helped Jin Ling open the door, took the child who had been held by Jin Ling and Jin Ming, and then helped Jin Ling out of the car.

Hou Debang, who had already gotten off the passenger seat, smiled and said to them, "Let's go! I'll take you in!"

After saying that, he strode into the supply and marketing cooperative. When Chen Feng and his wife saw this, they hurriedly followed him into the supply and marketing cooperative with their child in their arms.

After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Hou Debang greeted the store staff warmly, showing his familiarity with the place.

When he saw the store manager, Hou Debang stepped forward and shook hands with him cordially. The two exchanged a few words, and then he introduced Jin Ling to the store manager, expressing his hope that he could give her some care.

The store manager readily agreed and said he would do his best to help Jin Ling adapt to the new working environment.

When leaving, Chen Feng was still a little reluctant.

Seeing this, Hou Debang patted Chen Feng's shoulder gently, and then said, "Brother Chen, don't worry, your sister-in-law will definitely be able to adapt to the working environment here!"

Chen Feng nodded knowingly, and then said, "Brother Hou, I understand. Let's go quickly, or I will be late for work!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Hou Debang smiled slightly, and then said, "Okay, let's go now!"

As he said this, he led Chen Feng towards the car.

After getting in the car, it started and after a roar, it sped towards the farm outside the city!

Since Jin Ling and her two children got off the car at the supply and marketing cooperative, the back seat of the car seemed a lot more spacious this time.

In fact, Chen Feng originally planned to take his children to the farm so that he could work and take care of the children at the same time.

But Jin Ling thought he couldn't take care of the children, so she decided to keep them with her.

Faced with this situation, Chen Feng had no choice but to leave the supply and marketing cooperative alone and go to work on the farm, leaving his child at the supply and marketing cooperative to be taken care of by Jin Ling.

Soon, the car arrived at the farm after a bumpy ride.

After arriving at the farm, Hou Debang took Chen Feng to the farm director's office with ease.

After Hou Debang knocked on the door and took Chen Feng into the office, Chen Feng saw the farm manager Cheng again.

When Director Cheng saw Hou Debang leading Chen Feng in, he immediately stood up and said to Hou Debang, "Director Hou, are you here to take Chen Feng to work?

Hou Debang heard his words and said with a smile, "Of course not. After all, I brought him here, so of course I have to see him at work before I can rest assured!"

Seeing Hou Debang say this, Director Cheng coughed a few times, then smiled and praised, "Director Hou, you are so responsible!"

After praising Hou Debang, Director Cheng said to Chen Feng who was following Hou Debang, "Chen Feng, right? Come, I'll take you to your office."

As he spoke, Director Cheng walked out from behind the desk and headed towards the office door.

Hou Debang saw Director Cheng walking out, so he said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, let's go, let's follow Director Cheng and see where your office is!"

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Chen Feng nodded, then followed Director Cheng out of the office with Hou Debang.

After leaving the office, they followed Director Cheng to the door of Director Cheng's office, which was separated from Director Cheng by a room.

Director Cheng took out a key from his pocket, checked it, and then opened the door of the office. After opening the door, Director Cheng turned on the light in the room.

Then he said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, do you like this office? If there are no problems, this will be your office from now on."

After hearing what Director Cheng said, Chen Feng looked at the office curiously. He found that the layout here was very simple, similar to Li Guotao's office in the scrap yard, but without the conspicuous weapons box.

Chen Feng looked around carefully at every corner. Although the furnishings were simple, they revealed a pragmatic style. Basic facilities such as desks, chairs, and filing cabinets were all available. Although the style was a bit old, it looked like it could still be used normally.

After a brief inspection, Chen Feng felt quite satisfied. So he turned to Director Cheng and said, "Director Cheng, this office is pretty good. I like it very much. I'll choose it!"

Seeing Chen Feng make the decision so readily, Director Cheng showed a barely perceptible smile on his face. He continued, "Well, since you think it's suitable, then let's settle it."

After saying that, Director Cheng picked out a key from the bunch of keys, handed it to Chen Feng, and told him that this was the key to the office.
