Siheyuan: I just want to live

After locking his bicycle, Chen Feng walked into the supply and marketing cooperative in a cheerful mood, with brisk steps and clear goals.

This time, he did not go to the bicycle selling area, but went straight to the watch counter.

When he arrived at the watch counter, he found that the salesperson here was completely different from the previous one.

The salesperson did not ask any curious questions like she did before. She just focused on her work with a professional smile on her face.

Very politely, he asked Chen Feng for the receipts, money and industrial coupons needed to buy the watch. Chen Feng did not hesitate to hand over the money, watch tickets and industrial coupons.

The salesperson took the items, checked them carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, he handed Chen Feng a domestically produced 19-jewel mechanical watch.

Chen Feng took the watch and a slightly happy smile appeared on his face.

He carefully examined the watch in his hand, feeling its weight and texture. The exquisite design of this watch made him love it and wondered if he should buy one in the future.

After looking for a while, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction, thanked the salesperson, then turned and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

When leaving, Chen Feng walked with a brisk pace, and he felt particularly happy with the new watch in his hand.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Feng rode his old bicycle with one hand and held his brand new bicycle with the other hand, riding both bicycles unsteadily towards the production area of ​​the steel plant.

Along the way, the workers who were resting at the steel plant and the families of the steel plant workers all looked sideways, following Chen Feng's figure closely, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

They looked at Chen Feng's unique way of riding a bike and couldn't help but marvel at it, thinking that this young man was really good at riding. Chen Feng, on the other hand, looked very proud, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Feng looked a little more mature, everyone would have speculated that he might have been married. Otherwise.

Chen Feng believed that along the way, there must be many enthusiastic people who would come forward to say hello and ask him if he needed an introduction.

After all, in that era, outstanding and interesting young people like Chen Feng were very popular. His charm could not be ignored, like a bright light illuminating the world around him.

Of course, this is not the most critical factor. More importantly, there are very few people of Chen Feng's age who can own two bicycles.

Such economic strength has undoubtedly become the focus of many people's attention.

If my daughter can find such a wealthy son-in-law, her future life will be full of happiness and beauty.

Not only can you enjoy delicious food and live a comfortable life, but you don’t have to worry about food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea every day.

At the same time, the wife's family will also benefit greatly from having such an outstanding son-in-law. When necessary, they can also seek financial help from the son-in-law.

This idea does not only exist in this particular era. Even in the rural areas where Chen Feng lived in his previous life, similar ideas were still prevalent and popular.

People hope to change the fate of their family through marriage and provide themselves and their loved ones with a better life.

Although this traditional concept has been impacted by the values ​​of modern society, it still has a certain influence in some places.

So Chen Feng didn't care about the stares from pedestrians on the street, he just followed the fixed route to the production area of ​​the steel plant.

Chen Feng rode all the way and soon arrived at the side door where the living area and production area of ​​the steel plant met.

The guard at the gate saw him from a distance. He was riding a worn-out bicycle with one hand and holding a brand new bicycle with the other hand. He looked very strange.

The guards couldn't help but become curious about this, but they still stood firm at their posts without any slackness. When Chen Feng approached, they immediately stopped him.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our steel plant?" a security guard asked seriously.

Chen Feng stopped his bike and replied with a smile: "My name is Chen Feng, and I am the deputy director of the farm under the steel plant. I came to the steel plant today because I have some things to deal with."

After saying that, he took out his work ID from the chest pocket of his shirt and handed it to the security guard in front of him.

The security guard took the work permit, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned it to Chen Feng and said, "It turns out to be Deputy Director Chen. Please come in."

Afterwards, the security guard opened the side door and let Chen Feng enter the steel plant.

Chen Feng did not specify what he was going to do, as he felt there was no need for that.

The security guard at the door naturally would not ask Chen Feng what he was doing at the steel plant.

After all, it was perfectly normal for Chen Feng, as the deputy director of a subordinate farm, to come to the steel plant to do business.

This happens every day and there is nothing special to worry about.

What's more, if Chen Feng came to the steel plant for some confidential mission, wouldn't it be causing trouble for the security if they asked about it?

If you accidentally touch upon any sensitive issues, it will be a big trouble.

So, they simply checked Chen Feng's ID, confirmed his identity and let him go.

Anyway, they are all our own people in the steel plant, so what danger could there be?

After Chen Feng entered the production area of ​​the steel plant, he still maintained the same posture as before, allowing the two bicycles to move forward steadily.

Finally, Chen Feng arrived in front of the office building, he stopped the car, and then quickly walked up the stairs. When he got upstairs, he found the office of the technical department and stood at the door.

Chen Feng saw that the door of the technical department's office was not closed, so he looked inside.

Although it was lunch time, he was surprised to find that the technicians in the technical department were not resting but were still busy working.

Some of them sat at their desks studying documents carefully, while others gathered together to discuss issues enthusiastically. Everyone seemed so engaged and focused.

Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart. He was deeply moved by the enthusiasm and professionalism of these technicians.

It is precisely because of this group of technical talents who silently contribute and work hard that the steel plant can continue to grow and develop.

Chen Feng saw that he had been standing at the door for a while, but no one noticed him, and no one paid any attention to him.

And he didn't find Jin Ming among the crowd, so Chen Feng raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door frame twice.

Hearing the knock on the door, the technician closest to the door stopped drawing the blueprint in his hand and looked up at Chen Feng.

After realizing that he didn't know Chen Feng, he asked, "Excuse me, who are you? What do you want to do in our technical department?"

Hearing his question, Chen Feng immediately said, "I am a worker at the farm under the steel plant, and I am also the brother-in-law of Jin Ming from your technical department."

"I came to see him for something. I just looked around but didn't see him. I wonder where he is now?"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, the man looked into the corner of the office and found Jin Ming sitting in front of his desk, drawing with his head down.

So he opened his mouth and shouted to Jin Ming, "Jin Ming, someone is looking for you. Your brother-in-law wants to talk to you!"

When Jin Ming heard someone calling him, he put down the pen in his hand and looked up. When he saw Chen Feng, he immediately stood up from his seat and walked towards Chen Feng.

When Jin Ming arrived at the office door, he immediately asked, "Brother-in-law, why are you here? Is there anything you want to talk to me about at this time?"

Hearing Jin Ming's words, Chen Feng nodded and said, "I came to see you because I have something to tell you."

Seeing Chen Feng say this, Jin Ming asked again, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"

Chen Feng looked at the surrounding environment, and then said, "It's not convenient to talk here, come downstairs and talk with me!"

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Jin Ming looked back at the office and saw that everyone in the office was working hard.

If she talked to her brother-in-law here, it would disturb others, so Jin Ming nodded.

Seeing Jin Ming nod, Chen Feng turned around and started walking downstairs. Seeing this, Jin Ming hurriedly followed Chen Feng.

Chen Feng and Jin Ming walked all the way to where the bicycles were stored. Chen Feng stopped, pointed at a brand new bicycle, and said to Jin Ming.

"Look, this bike is the one I just bought for you. If you need to go home for something in the future, you can ride it."

Jin Ming looked at the brand new bicycle in front of her, and she felt an indescribable emotion in her heart. She remembered that Chen Feng mentioned that he wanted to buy her a bicycle yesterday, but she didn't expect that he had already bought the bicycle at noon today.

Jin Ming looked at the brand new bicycle carefully and knew that since Chen Feng had already bought the bicycle, it would be inappropriate if he did not accept it.

However, he felt embarrassed to let Chen Feng ride an old bicycle.

After hesitating for a moment, Jin Ming finally plucked up the courage and whispered to Chen Feng, "Brother-in-law, how about I just ride that old bike? You can ride this new one, okay?"

After saying that, he looked at Chen Feng nervously, waiting for his response.

After hearing Jin Ming's words, Chen Feng shook his head slightly, and then said, "My brother-in-law is old, so he can ride any kind of bicycle!"

"But you are different. You are young. If you ride an old bike, other people might laugh at you."

"So you should just ride the new bike, so you can save some face!"

After Jin Ming heard what Chen Feng said, he thought about it carefully and realized that what Chen Feng said was indeed right. So Jin Ming stopped checking and just nodded obediently.

After seeing Jin Ming nod, Chen Feng took out a watch from his pocket and said, "You should wear this watch too! After all, you are working now, and you can check the time with a watch."

When Jin Ming heard what Chen Feng said, she was about to refuse, but she heard Chen Feng say, "Your sister and I both have watches, and this one is specially bought for you. You can't refuse it. Just consider it as a gift from me to you for going to work!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ming didn't say anything else and just nodded silently.
