Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chen Feng returned home, fell asleep and soon fell asleep. However, just over an hour later, Jin Ling whispered in Chen Feng's ear, calling him to get up and eat.

Chen Feng got up sleepily, washed, simply tidied his clothes, and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Chen Feng was ready to go to work with Jin Ming, who was already carrying a bag. Chen Feng could also ride his bicycle to take Jin Ming to the steel plant. Suddenly, he heard knocks on the gate of the courtyard.

This sudden noise made Chen Feng wonder: Who on earth was looking for him so early in the morning?

Full of curiosity, Chen Feng quickly walked to the door and opened it. When he saw who was outside, he was shocked - it was Hou Debang again.

Chen Feng muttered to himself, not understanding why Hou Debang came to his house again today.

So Chen Feng smiled and asked, "Brother Hou, it turns out to be you! You came to knock on my door so early, who else did I think it was?"

Hou Debang laughed when he heard this, and then responded: "You just moved here, and no one here knows you. Who else would knock on your door so early except me?"

Hearing Hou Debang's words, Chen Feng also said with a smile, "You know what, Brother Hou, you are right!"

Hearing Chen Feng say this, Hou Debang also started laughing.

After laughing for a while, Chen Feng also began to ask Hou Debang: "I wonder what business did Brother Hou have with me today?"

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Hou Debang laughed. His laughter was hearty and friendly, making people feel his inner joy.

Then, he replied in a gentle tone: "It's like this, I guess you already know that Jin Ming is going to live in the steel factory dormitory?"

When Chen Feng heard Hou Debang's words, a smile appeared on his face and he nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew about this.

Then Chen Feng said: "Jin Ming told us last night, and I am now preparing to send Jin Ming to the steel plant! Speaking of this, I have to thank you, Brother Hou, for taking care of Jin Ming!"

When Hou Debang heard Chen Feng's thanks, a smile appeared on his face.

Then he shook his head and said softly, "Brother Chen! You don't have to see me off. I came here just to pick up Jin Ming!"

Hearing Hou Debang's words, Chen Feng's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Hou, how can I trouble you? I'll just ride my bike to take Jin Ming over right now!"

He was grateful for Hou Debang's kindness, but felt embarrassed to ask him to make the trip in person.

After all, as an important figure in the steel plant, Hou Debang's time is precious. How can he pick up and drop off his family every day?

Hou Debang smiled when he heard Chen Feng say this, and said cheerfully, "Hey, brother Chen, I'm here and I'm going to the steel plant anyway, so why not bring Jin Ming with me?"

Chen Feng felt that what Hou Debang said made sense. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, thank you, Brother Hou, for coming this time! But, please don't come again next time!"

He then added: "Brother Hou, you are a very busy man in the steel plant. How can I trouble you again?"

When Chen Feng said this, his words were full of sincerity, and Chen Feng was really a little embarrassed.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Hou Debang smiled slightly, nodded, and then said, "Okay, I'll take Jin Ming to the steel plant today, and let him go by himself next time!"

After talking to Chen Feng, Hou Debang called out to Jin Ming behind Chen Feng, "Jin Ming, come here quickly, let's get in the car and go!"

At this time, Chen Feng turned around and said to Jin Ming: "Jin Ming, then you can go to school with your uncle Hou today! I will take you there next time!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Jin Ming nodded to Chen Feng obediently and said, "I understand, brother-in-law!"

After saying that, Jin Ming carried his bag and walked towards Hou Debang.

Hou Debang watched Jin Ming approach him and noticed that he was only carrying a bag in his hand, so he asked curiously, "Jin Ming, you only have so little stuff with you after such a long time?"

Seeing Hou Debang asking, Jin Ming immediately replied: "Uncle Hou, the weather is still hot, so I brought some toiletries and two thin quilts, as well as a set of casual clothes for daily wear."

"As for those thick clothes and quilts, I will move them to the dormitory little by little when the weather gets colder. This way it will be more convenient."

Hou Debang listened to Jin Ming's explanation and couldn't help but sigh that this child was really smart and sensible. He smiled and said, "Okay, you are very thoughtful."

When Hou Debang heard Jin Ming's words, he nodded slightly to show his agreement, but when he heard Jin Ming say that he only brought one set of clothes, his brows furrowed slightly and a look of worry appeared on his face.

He looked at Jin Ming with concern and asked softly, "Why did you only bring one set of clothes? Will it be not enough to wear?"

His tone was full of concern and care for the details of Jin Ming's life.

After hearing Hou Debang's question, Jin Ming showed a simple smile on his face and quickly explained, "It's enough, Uncle Hou! You don't have to worry about this problem."

"Yesterday the steel plant gave me two sets of work clothes. I can wear them when I work. They are comfortable and practical."

"Only when I go out to play or rest will I wear casual clothes to enjoy a relaxing time. So this set of clothes is enough to meet my daily needs!"

After hearing Jin Ming's explanation, Hou Debang nodded approvingly, then said with a smile, "Since you have thought it through, I won't say much. Let's get in the car!"

After hearing Hou Debang's words, Jin Ming nodded obediently and said, "Okay, Uncle Hou!" He had a polite and gentle smile on his face, showing the youthful vigor and vitality unique to a teenager.

Then, Jin Ming waved to Chen Feng and walked steadily towards the car. The sunlight fell on him, outlining a young and tall figure.

After Jin Ming left, Hou Debang turned around and said to Chen Feng with a smile: "Brother Chen, why don't you come with us? We're on the way to the farm anyway, so we might as well give you a ride so you don't have to ride the bike anymore."

When Chen Feng heard Hou Debang's proposal, he quickly waved his hand and replied politely, "Brother Hou, I won't bother you! If you send me to the farm, you will have to send me back after get off work. How embarrassing!"

"I'd better ride my bike to work. It's convenient for commuting and I can also exercise!"

When saying these words, Chen Feng's eyes revealed sincerity and persistence.

Hou Debang frowned slightly, looked at Chen Feng helplessly, and persuaded: "Brother Chen, you see, you are too polite!"

"We have been friends for many years. This is nothing! Besides, I feel bad for letting you ride your bike to work alone!"

Chen Feng laughed heartily, walked up to Hou Debang and patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Brother Hou, don't think too much! I'm really fine."

"Biking is also a kind of enjoyment for me. And I like to ride freely on the road and feel the beauty of nature."

"Today you just need to bring Jin Ming to the steel mill safely. I can handle the work myself, so don't worry!"

Actually, Chen Feng said these nice words for Hou Debang to hear.

Chen Feng said this because he was indeed afraid of troubling Hou Debang. After all, it was really too much trouble to ask Hou Debang to take him to work and then take him back after get off work.

Hou Debang also knew what Chen Feng meant by this. After all, who would prefer riding a bicycle instead of sitting in a car?

Hou Debang had never seen such a person, but he was sure that Chen Feng, who would rather lie down than sit, was obviously not one of them.

However, seeing Chen Feng was so determined, Hou Debang stopped forcing him and nodded, saying, "Okay, since you insist so much, I won't force you."

"But if you need a car in the future, don't be polite to me!"

When Chen Feng heard Hou Debang say this, he looked at him gratefully and responded with a smile: "Okay, Brother Hou! Thank you in advance. I will definitely not be polite if you need me."

The two smiled at each other, and the friendship between them became deeper at this moment.

After laughing for a while, Hou Debang said to Chen Feng with a smile on his face: "Brother Chen, I'd better send Jin Ming to the factory first, and I won't stay here any longer!"

Seeing Hou Debang say this, Chen Feng also quickly said: "Then Brother Hou, you should go quickly, we will find time to talk later!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Hou Debang also smiled and said, "Well! Let's talk later!"

After saying that, Hou Debang turned and walked towards the car, then skillfully opened the door and got in.

Seeing this, Chen Feng stretched out his right hand and waved at the car, saying goodbye to Hou Debang. Hou Debang leaned his head out of the car and also waved at Chen Feng, and the car slowly drove away.

Watching the car slowly go away until it disappeared, Chen Feng withdrew his gaze and turned around to push the bicycle out of the aisle at the door.

After he pushed the car to the gate of the yard, he turned back and gently closed the door, but did not lock it because Jin Ling was still at home.

If I lock the door myself, how will Jin Ling go to work later?

After doing all this, Chen Feng rode his bicycle and headed for the farm outside the city.

Along the way, the early summer morning breeze blew gently on Chen Feng's body, bringing a cool feeling.

The fresh air and comfortable temperature made Chen Feng feel extremely comfortable. Even when riding a bicycle, he did not feel the heat at all.

The breeze gently brushed across his cheeks, as if nature was giving him a kind of comfort, making him feel even happier.

As the wheels continued to roll, Chen Feng felt the caress of the breeze, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

He looked at the scenery along the way, admired the beauty of the fields in the suburbs, breathed the fresh air, and felt the breath of nature.

At this moment, he felt that the stress and troubles in his life were gradually leaving him, leaving only peace and tranquility.

While cycling, Chen Feng enjoyed this rare free time.
