Siheyuan: I just want to live

When Chen Feng returned to his office with the documents, he carefully placed them on the table and made sure they were neatly arranged.

Then, he could no longer suppress the faint smile on his lips.

Last night, Chen Feng was still running around the black market looking for a bicycle ticket, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got to work today, this precious ticket easily fell into his hands.

Recalling this experience, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart. He secretly thanked his luck for being so lucky. He wanted a bicycle ticket, and now it came.

Just now in Secretary Cheng's office, he tried his best to hold back his laughter, showing excellent self-control.

Chen Feng smiled quietly in the office for a while, then gradually stopped smiling. He carefully put the bicycle ticket into the space and stored it together with the watch ticket he bought yesterday.

After completing these actions, Chen Feng slowly sat down at his desk, his eyes falling on the documents he had retrieved from Secretary Cheng.

However, before he could flip through a few documents, his heavy eyelids began to twitch involuntarily.

At first, Chen Feng could still barely hold on to continue reading, but as time went on, he felt more and more sleepy, and finally he could not resist the invasion of fatigue, and finally fell asleep on the table.

Perhaps it was because Chen Feng had been looking for bicycle tickets in the black market all night last night and did not return home until dawn to take a short rest, so he was sleeping particularly soundly at this moment.

This sleep lasted until noon, and Chen Feng was awakened by the bell for the end of get off work on the farm.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched himself, then slowly sat up, reached out to take out the lunch box from the schoolbag hanging on the wall, and prepared to go to the cafeteria to get his meal.

While getting his meal, Chen Feng paid for his meal ticket for yesterday's lunch, then found an empty seat and sat down to enjoy his lunch.

After the meal, he cleaned the lunch box, but instead of going back to the office to sleep as usual, he put the lunch box back in the office, got on his bike and rushed towards the steel plant.

When he arrived at the steel plant, Chen Feng rode his bicycle all the way to the largest supply and marketing cooperative inside the steel plant. He knew that what he needed was there.

After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, he went straight to the area where bicycles were sold and his eyes fell on those brand new bicycles.

Chen Feng took a deep breath to calm his heart, which was beating fast due to riding the bike fast. Then he took out the money and said to the salesperson, "Lady, please help me push a bicycle out."

After hearing what Chen Feng said, the bicycle salesman raised his head, stood up from his chair slowly, then took the bicycle ticket from Chen Feng's hand and looked at it carefully.

After confirming that everything was correct, he said, "The ticket is fine. It's for inside our steel plant. The bicycles are all over there. Do you want to pick one yourself?"

After hearing her words, Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head. Although he wanted to choose one himself, he didn't know much about bicycles and couldn't tell whether they were good or bad.

But he believes that the bicycles that can be sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives should not have any major or obvious problems.

After all, this is a matter of credibility for the steel mill, and the steel mill will certainly go through strict controls.

Chen Feng decided to give the choice to the salesperson and ask her to help him pick a bicycle with reliable quality and good performance.

In this way, you can save the trouble of choosing by yourself and ensure that you buy a satisfactory car.

So Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Comrade, I don't know anything, so I won't be picky. Just give me one at random!"

After saying this, a simple smile appeared on his face.

"I believe our steel mill will not sell inferior products to our employees!"

Then, Chen Feng added, his tone firm, showing that he had great confidence in the steel plant's quality inspection.

When the salesperson heard Chen Feng's words, he raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised by his attitude.

Then she asked, "From what you said, you are also an employee of our steel plant?"

Seeing her ask this, Chen Feng smiled and said, "Yes, I am also an employee of the steel plant."

From Chen Feng's voice, others could hear his pride and joy in being a steel factory worker.

Seeing Chen Feng admit it, the salesperson asked again: "Why haven't I seen you at the steel plant? Which department are you from?"

Although she heard the pride in Chen Feng's words about being a steel plant worker, a hint of curiosity and confusion flashed in her eyes.

Seeing that she was still asking, Chen Feng did not feel impatient. Instead, he smiled and pointed to the words printed on the chest of his farm work clothes and said, "I am an employee of the farm under the steel plant. I usually live in the city, so it is normal that you don't know me."

Seeing Chen Feng pointing at her chest, the salesperson looked at it carefully. She really didn't notice this just now. After all, the work clothes nowadays are the same in many factories. If you don't look carefully at the words on the chest and back, you really can't tell which factory the workers are from.

Chen Feng was wearing a blue work jacket with a semicircular line of words printed on his chest: "Farm under the Steel Plant", and below that were the standards of the Steel Plant.

This dress looks ordinary, but it has a special meaning - it represents Chen Feng's identity and responsibilities as a farm worker.

Although he could clearly see the words printed on Chen Feng's chest, the salesperson still asked with some doubt: "Is the farm hiring new people again? Isn't now the time to hire people?"

Seeing her say that, Chen Feng still smiled and said, "I'm the new deputy director of the farm. I just took up my post yesterday. It's normal that you don't know me!"

He knew that the salesperson might not be familiar with the current situation of the farm, so he had such questions.

However, he didn't care about these and just wanted to solve the problem at hand as soon as possible.

In fact, if an ordinary person were to ask Chen Feng about his personal situation so presumptuously like this salesperson, Chen Feng would probably have ignored him long ago.

However, the situation at this moment is different. After all, Chen Feng still hopes that she can help him choose a satisfactory bicycle.

Although I don't expect her to choose the best quality, it would be a waste of time if I offend her at this moment and she deliberately takes out a bicycle with peeling paint and a broken chain.

It’s not that Chen Feng thinks too much. It’s just that in this day and age, similar situations are common. Even if they really happen, consumers often have nowhere to complain.

There are only two possible outcomes: either you give up on buying the bike and walk away; or you swallow your anger and buy the problematic bike and take it home.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Feng tried to keep a low profile as much as possible and try to avoid offending others.

When the salesperson heard Chen Feng's words, his eyebrows raised again and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly returned to normal.

Then he said with a smile: "Oh! I never thought that you are a leading cadre at such a young age? You are really young and promising!"

When Chen Feng heard her say this, he quickly smiled and waved his hand, speaking modestly.

"Hey! You are wrong. What's the point of being a cadre or not? We are just ordinary workers in the steel plant, just responsible for different tasks."

As soon as he finished speaking, the salesperson couldn't help but burst into laughter, and his laughter was hearty and sincere.

While laughing, she said to Chen Feng: "Comrade, you are really more conscious than me! Compared with you, I am really ashamed of myself!"

After that, the salesperson said to Chen Feng enthusiastically: "Okay, I won't talk to you any more. I'll help you push the bike over now!"

Seeing that she stopped asking questions, Chen Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, it is too difficult to buy a good bicycle in today's world.

Chen Feng watched her walk towards the bicycle storage area and said quickly, "Thank you for your help!"

When the salesperson heard what Chen Feng said, he smiled and waved his hand, saying in a friendly tone: "We are all employees of the steel plant, so there is no need for you and me to be so polite! It is only natural for us to help each other."

As she spoke, she walked quickly towards where the bicycles were stored.

Once there, the salesperson looked carefully around, making sure that each bike was neatly arranged before picking out a bike that looked brand new and in good condition.

She pushed the bike over gently, her movements were gentle and skillful. When she came in front of Chen Feng, she showed a satisfied smile on her face and handed the bike to Chen Feng.

At the same time, he also said, "This bicycle is the best one in this batch. Can you check it out and see if you are satisfied with it?"

When Chen Feng saw the bicycle she pushed over, he didn't check it, but said to her, "What's there to check? You said it's the best, so it must be the best! Can you still lie to me?"

Hearing Chen Feng's trust in her, the saleswoman smiled even more, and then she said to Chen Feng with a smile, "Then this one!"

"I wonder if you would like to install a lock on the bicycle, as the light bulb has been worn out on the front frame of the bicycle?"

When Chen Feng heard her words, he immediately said, "Yes, of course I want it!"

Seeing Chen Feng said he wanted it, the salesperson said, "Okay, I'll install it for you!"

Then Chen Feng saw the female salesperson put on gloves skillfully, and then helped Chen Feng install all the accessories with ease.

After Chen Feng saw him packing the things, he asked, "How much do I have to pay now?"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, the salesperson immediately said, "The bicycle is 1 yuan, and the other things are yuan, a total of yuan."

When Chen Feng heard the amount of money, he immediately took out two hundred yuan in coins from his pocket, then counted out one hundred and seventy-five yuan and handed it to the salesperson.

After the salesperson took it, he immediately wrote an invoice for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the invoice, pushed his bicycle, greeted the salesperson, and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
