Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Jin Ling finished making dinner, she gently brushed off the non-existent dust on her body and walked slowly into the bedroom with light steps.

As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, her eyes naturally fell on Chen Feng's sleeping face. He was sleeping so soundly at the moment, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was having a beautiful dream.

Jin Ling looked at him, and an inexplicable tenderness surged in her heart, which was a deep attachment and love for her lover.

She stood quietly beside the bed, staring for a long time, but finally couldn't bear to disturb Chen Feng's sweet dream, so she turned around gently and quietly left the bedroom.

After leaving the bedroom, Jin Ling's eyes flashed with a warm light. She walked quickly to the yard, and her clear voice rang like a silver bell, "Dear children, come and wash your hands and eat!"

When the children heard the call, they immediately ran over like happy little birds and surrounded Jin Ling.

After Jin Ling carefully helped them wash their hands, she brought the children to the dining table. The three of them sat together and began to enjoy a delicious dinner.

After dinner, Jin Ling did not let the two children play without restraint, but said softly: "My dears, it's time to wash up and go to bed."

Although the children were somewhat reluctant, they still followed Jin Ling obediently to the bathroom.

When Jin Ling entered the bathroom, under the dim light, her eyes immediately caught sight of the item forgotten in the corner - Chen Feng's dirty clothes.

The pile of clothes were piled together in a disorderly manner, as if telling the owner's running around and hard work during these days.

Moreover, the pungent sour smell in the bathroom became stronger and stronger, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping Jin Ling's nose and throat.

She couldn't help but frown, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but then she realized that the smell was coming from Chen Feng's clothes.

She squatted down and looked at the dirty clothes carefully, and the scene of Chen Feng's eating and living on the farm for the past ten days emerged in her mind.

Chen Feng worked hard every day, regardless of fatigue, just to create better living conditions for his family. Looking at the pile of dirty clothes on the ground, Jin Ling's heart was filled with heartache.

In the end, the thousands of words in Jin Ling's heart, when they came to her lips, slowly turned into a gentle sigh filled with endless heartache.

After sighing, Jin Ling found a clean basin of water, and then she gently put Chen Feng's clothes, which were stained with the breath of life, into the basin.

Watching the clothes slowly getting soaked by water, she then carried the basin full of Chen Feng's clothes and walked step by step to the yard.

Then he slowly put it down, and every movement seemed so cautious, as if he was afraid to disturb Chen Feng's rest in the bedroom.

After Jin Ling put down the basin, she turned around and went back to the bathroom without even a second's hesitation.

The bathroom was filled with a light vapor. Jin Ling first picked up a soft towel and carefully wiped the two children's cute faces and gave them a bath. Her delicate movements were full of motherly tenderness.

Then, as usual, she told the two children a bedtime story. Her voice was soft and pleasant, like a hypnotic melody, accompanying the children as they gradually fell asleep.

During this process, her eyes were shining with the light of maternal love, a kind of warmth that cannot be described in words.

After the two children finally fell asleep, Jin Ling did not lie back in bed to rest as usual. She slowly got up from the bed and walked lightly into the yard.

At this time, the yard was quiet, with only the faint moonlight shining on the ground, as if covering the entire yard with a layer of silver gauze.

With the dim light coming from the main room, she began to wash Chen Feng's clothes carefully. Her hands kept rubbing in the water, as if she wanted to rub all her thoughts and love into the clothes.

After Jin Ling finished washing the clothes and hung them up in the yard to dry, she returned to the house to rest.

...............

The next morning, when a ray of soft sunlight poured into the room through the window, Chen Feng, who looked energetic after a good rest last night, slowly opened his eyes.

He stretched, and it seemed as if every cell in his body was cheering. The long-lost feeling of refreshment made him glow with vitality.

Then, he got up from the bed and walked towards the yard with light steps. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw rows of neatly hung clothes, which fluttered slightly in the morning breeze, like a group of cheerful elves.

Looking at these clothes, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Feng's eyes for a moment, and then, a brilliant smile bloomed on his face like a blooming flower.

Without asking, Chen Feng could clearly guess that these clothes must have been washed and dried for him overnight by the gentle and kind Jin Ling who had taken the trouble to do so.

When he thought of this, a warm current flowed slowly through his heart like a gurgling stream, warming every corner of him.

That touch of warmth was like the sun in winter, dispelling some of the fatigue and confusion in his heart, and making him feel an unprecedented sense of security and happiness.

Chen Feng stood quietly in the middle of the yard like a sculpture, staring straight at the row of clothes hanging out to dry and swaying slightly in the wind.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled light and shadows danced and flickered on his body, as if he was covered with a layer of golden gauze.

After a long time, Chen Feng slowly withdrew his gaze, a barely perceptible emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he turned back into the house and began to prepare breakfast.

Walking into the kitchen, he picked up the ingredients skillfully and started working in an orderly manner.

After preparing a simple breakfast, Chen Feng carefully walked out of the kitchen carrying the plate.

Then he came to the bedroom door, took a deep breath, and gently pushed the door open.

Jin Ling was still sleeping. Her face looked particularly beautiful in the morning sunlight, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids.

Chen Feng looked at her, a strong love welling up in his heart. He walked gently to the bed, squatted down, and left a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Wake up, baby, breakfast is ready, you can get up and eat!"

Chen Feng said softly, his gentle voice full of doting.

Jin Ling slowly opened her eyes, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. When she saw Chen Feng's gentle face, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face.

"Hubby, you've been so hard working on the farm these past ten days. It makes me sad just thinking about where you have to eat and sleep."

"You finally came back today, why don't you take a good rest? I didn't expect you to get up so early to make breakfast for us. You are really working too hard."

As Jin Ling spoke, she gently pulled at the corner of Chen Feng's clothes, her eyes full of concern and love.

Chen Feng lowered his head slightly, kissed Jin Ling on the forehead, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm used to getting up so early every day, and seeing you can have a hot breakfast, it doesn't matter how hard or tired I am!"

Listening to Chen Feng's words, Jin Ling felt a warm feeling in her heart. She stretched lazily on the bed, as if to relax all her fatigue.

Then, she sat up and said briskly, "Okay, husband, I'll get up and wash up and go out right away!"

Chen Feng looked at Jin Ling with a gentle smile on his face. He nodded and said, "Okay, then you should get up and wash up quickly. Don't delay too long, otherwise the breakfast will get cold, and it won't taste good if it gets cold."

After saying that, he patted Jin Ling's shoulder gently, then left the bedroom, returned to the dining room, and sat quietly at the dining table.

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, waiting for Jin Ling and the children to appear in the restaurant to enjoy this warm time.

Soon, Jin Ling, whose long black and shiny hair swayed gently in the wind like a waterfall, walked out of the bedroom with light steps, slowly leading the two innocent children.

After coming out, the children were like two happy little birds, chirping and with innocent smiles on their faces. They walked straight towards the restaurant, and their little figures looked particularly cute.

Then, they sat down obediently beside Chen Feng, as if they were a group of docile little lambs snuggling beside their shepherd.

Chen Feng quietly watched everyone arrive, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a soft light flashed in his eyes.

Then, like the warmest spring breeze, he slowly opened his lips and greeted her softly and gently.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start enjoying breakfast! If we wait any longer, it will get cold!"

The tone was full of kindness and warmth, as if it could instantly dispel the chill in the early morning.

After hearing Chen Feng's gentle words, Jin Ling's face, which was originally a little sleepy, now broke into a slight smile.

She nodded gently and said softly, "Yes! Let's get started. I want to see if your cooking skills have regressed in the past ten days on the farm!"

When Jin Ling said this, there was a gleam of expectation in her beautiful eyes.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Chen Feng also said with a smile, "Whether there is any regression or not, you will know if you try it!"

As he spoke, Chen Feng pushed the plate with breakfast on it towards Jin Ling's seat. After seeing Chen Feng's action, Jin Ling did not hesitate and picked up the chopsticks to taste the food.

Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled and started eating with his chopsticks.

Afterwards, the warm family of four sat around the simple yet lively dining table and began to enjoy the simple breakfast carefully prepared by Chen Feng with relish.

The sound of the dishes and chopsticks colliding seems to be the most beautiful music in the world, playing the harmony and warmth of the family.

After dinner, Chen Feng hurriedly pushed his bicycle to the farm to work. Although the summer harvest was over, the work behind the farm was not yet finished, so Chen Feng had to hurry to the farm to take charge of the work.

As for Jin Ling, since the supply and marketing cooperative where she worked was relatively close to her home, she was not as anxious as Chen Feng.

After watching Chen Feng leave, he turned his gaze back to the messy dining table, then bent down and carefully picked up the leftovers on the table.

After cleaning up, I took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them.

After everything was packed up, Jin Ling smiled, held the hands of her two children, and walked out of the house together.
