Siheyuan: I just want to live

When Chen Feng arrived at the Beixinqiao Trust Store, the sun was already high in the sky, indicating that lunch time was approaching. He walked into the store with firm steps and went straight to the counter.

After Chen Feng stood still, he looked straight ahead and asked the salesperson in a calm tone, "Excuse me, do you have any watches here?" His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was firm and expectant.

The salesperson at the trust store was a middle-aged woman in her thirties with an ordinary appearance. After hearing Chen Feng's question, she smiled and replied, "Yes, please follow me." Then, she stood up and led Chen Feng to the counter next to her.

Chen Feng followed the elder sister and secretly looked at her. He found that although the elder sister's appearance was not outstanding, her eyes revealed a kind and friendly look. As for himself, he actually looked ordinary, nothing special, just an ordinary person.

So there was no plot like in other novels where the male protagonist is so handsome that he shines and is the most handsome guy wherever he goes.

Following the guidance of the elder sister, we walked through the spacious and bright hall and went to the deepest part. There was an exquisite counter, and through the transparent glass, we could clearly see all kinds of watches on display.

After careful counting, there are more than 30 watches! They lie there quietly, as if telling people the story of time. Among them are not only the classic domestic brand - Shanghai watches, but also those top luxury brands from overseas, such as Patek Philippe, Rolex and Omega.

What surprised Chen Feng even more was that among the many watches, he actually found two rare pocket watches. The shells of these two pocket watches were a little old and covered with traces of time, but judging from the degree of wear and tear, they were probably left over from the Qing Dynasty. Such antique items could appear here, which old man or young man must be in dire straits at home.

"Comrade, these are it. Tell me which one you like and I'll take it out for you."

"Are these watches still usable?" Chen Feng lowered his head slightly, staring at the watches in the glass cabinet with a sharp gaze, and finally stopped at the foreign famous watches. After all, they have great room for appreciation in the future, and buying them for collection is simply the best choice.

“This one, this one, and this one are no longer working. The others are still working normally.” The salesperson said, pointing at the three broken watches.

“这个，还有这个价格是多少？”陈风指向的两块表分别是1945产的欧米茄军款2383-4，1953年的百达翡丽2526。应该是志愿军缴获的。

"The white one, which is 90% new, is 105 yuan, and the black one, which is % new, is yuan."

"Can it be cheaper?" Chen Feng asked again.

"No." The elder sister replied cheerfully.

"Okay! Help me pack it up. Do you have any bicycles here?"

"Yes! It's in the backyard. Do you want me to show you around?

"Okay!" Then the elder sister led Chen Feng to the backyard.

When Chen Feng arrived at the backyard, he immediately spotted the Forever Manganese Steel 28-bar bicycle that stood out among the seven or eight other bicycles. He pointed at it and asked, "How much is that bicycle?"

The elder sister looked in the direction of Chenfeng's finger and said, "Forever strong, 115-inch bicycle with a lock, % new, yuan."

"Okay, that's it, get the ticket."

The elder sister pushed the cart to the front and then quickly issued the ticket. Chen Feng reached into his schoolbag and took out a wad of money, 350 yuan, and counted out 310 to the saleswoman.

It looked like he was taking the money out of the schoolbag, but in fact, he was taking it out from the space under the cover of the schoolbag. There were only two empty bottles in the schoolbag, and all the things were put in the space, so there was no need to worry about being stolen and they could be used at any time, which was very convenient.

"Here, done." The elder sister issued the invoice and handed the two watches and the ticket to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took it and immediately put on the white Omega on his hand, then put the black Patek Philippe, the bills and the remaining money into the space under the cover of the schoolbag, and then pushed the bicycle out of the trust store.

After leaving the trust store, he looked at his watch and found that it was already 12 o'clock. Chen Feng rode his bike to a nearby state-owned restaurant. He planned to eat outside at noon and not go back to cook.

Arriving at the restaurant, Chengfeng locked the car in front of the restaurant, walked in and saw today's menu written on the wall. According to his appetite, Chen Feng ordered a plate of stir-fried cabbage with meat and two steamed buns, which cost a total of 60 cents, two taels of meat coupons and half a pound of grain coupons. He thought that today's prices are really cheap.

After paying the bill, my number was called soon. After picking up the food, I sat down at a random seat and started eating.

Not long after, Chen Feng finished all the food on the table. He gently stroked his slightly bulging belly, and couldn't help but praise the cooking skills of the chef in this restaurant. It was a pity that he had only a few meat tickets left, and he didn't know when he could taste such delicious food again.

At this moment, Chen Feng was satisfied and had a full meal. He rode his bicycle leisurely towards the police station. This bicycle was just purchased not long ago, but the license plate has not been changed yet. Since the old license plate can no longer be used, he went to the police station to exchange it for a new license plate.

After arriving at the police station, Chen Feng pushed the cart and walked in slowly. The security guard at the door greeted me warmly and directed me to the window for handling business.

Coming to the window, Chen Feng handed the prepared materials to the staff and paid a management fee of 3 yuan. The whole process went very smoothly without any delay or tediousness.

It took only a dozen minutes to get everything done. I couldn't help but sigh: "The efficiency of this era is still high!" Compared with the past, the current government departments have indeed made significant improvements in service quality and work efficiency. They are people-oriented and strive to provide the public with a more convenient and efficient service experience.

When I walked out of the police station, the sun was shining on me, and I felt warm. I thought about it and realized that I had to go to the grain and oil store to buy some food because the food at home was running low.

After a while, he arrived at the grain store, locked the car, took out the flour bag and the empty oil bottle, and took out the bill and handed it to the salesman.

"15 jin of mixed flour and half a jin of oil."

The eldest brother took over the things, weighed the grains, and beat the oil with skillful and quick movements. He finished the task in a few minutes and then handed the oil bottle and flour bag back to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the oil bottle and put it in his schoolbag, then picked up the grain bag and walked out of the grain store.

After leaving the grain store, Chen Feng carefully tied the grain to the back seat of the bicycle. After making sure it was secure, I set off to the supply and marketing cooperative with confidence.

He parked the car steadily in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, got out of the car and skillfully locked the door with the key. Then, he walked briskly into the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and scanned the environment inside the store.

Soon, he noticed that perhaps because it was during working hours, the store seemed particularly deserted and there were not many customers. The four sales clerks were sitting behind the counter leisurely, eating sunflower seeds and chatting happily, looking very happy. From their laughter and exaggerated expressions from time to time, it can be inferred that the topics they were talking about must be quite interesting.

"Comrade, help me get something."

"Oh! Someone's coming. Xiaoli, go over and greet them." The older sister turned around and looked at a girl and said. Hearing this, the girl quickly stood up and walked over here.

Chen Feng picked up a glass bottle in his hand and carefully placed it on the counter. Then, he took out a handful of change and a few bills from his pocket and said to the girl, "I want an alarm clock, two lunch boxes, a pound of vinegar, a pound of salt and a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes."

The girl called Xiaoli took the things that Chen Feng handed to her skillfully, blinked her eyes slightly, and began to do mental arithmetic. After a while, she quoted the price: "A total of 6.84 yuan, three industrial coupons, one pound of salt coupons, one pound of vinegar coupons, and ten Class B tobacco coupons." Chen Feng couldn't help but secretly marvel at this little girl's mental arithmetic ability! I just finished saying the name of the item, and she was able to calculate the total price and the various coupons required so quickly and accurately.

After I handed the money and bills to her, I saw her skillfully issuing the receipt, and then began to weigh the grain and pump the oil, and then took out various items one by one and handed them to me.

While counting them carefully, I slowly packed these things into my schoolbag. When everything was packed, I slung the full schoolbag behind me.

"You are really good at arithmetic!" As soon as I finished speaking, I turned around and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative. Xiaoli's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard my praise, but she quickly regained her composure, returned to her original place as if nothing had happened, and continued to chat with the older sisters.

Chen Feng rode out of the supply and marketing cooperative until he came to a deserted road, then he stopped his bike. He gently opened his schoolbag and quietly transferred the things inside into the mysterious space. After finishing all this, he looked up at the sky and found that it was still early, so he decided to ride his bike around for a while and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through my mind: Since I have time now, why not try the specific ability of space to collect objects? For example, how large a range and how heavy an object can it collect?

Chen Feng immediately pulled over to the side of the road, then concentrated his mind and began to sense the surrounding environment with all his strength. After some effort, he gradually gained a clearer understanding of the ability of space.

First, he found that he could sense the ground and the sky in all directions within a range of about 10 meters, and underground up to two meters deep. Within this sensing range, he could collect objects that were equal to his own weight and volume. Not only that, if he touched it directly with his hands, he could also collect objects with a size of 2*2*2, a work capacity of 8 cubic meters, and a weight of no more than 10 tons.

Through this experiment, Chen Feng had a deeper understanding of his spatial ability, and also laid a solid foundation for better use of this ability in the future. With full of joy, he continued to ride his bike and drove towards home...
