Siheyuan: I just want to live

While Chen Feng was reading, Station Master Li walked into the reception room with a 56 rifle. To Chen Feng's astonishment, Station Master Li put the gun on the table and asked, "Chen Feng, did you bring your security uniform?"

Although Chen Feng didn't know why Station Master Li asked this, he still answered, "It has always been in the cabinet under the table! What's wrong?"

Although Chen Feng's uniform was in the space, he could take it out of the cabinet by using his body as a cover.

"That's good. After we leave, you put on your uniform and stand guard in the yard with your gun. If anyone makes trouble, fire a warning shot. Remember, don't shoot anyone with the first shot. Shoot it into the air instead."

After saying that, he led all the men in the scrap station, rode four tricycles out of the scrap station gate, and walked towards the distance.

Chen Feng was confused. Li Guotao had taken everyone away. Only Li Dahua and I were left at the scrapyard. Who did you ask me to look after? Hey! Where's Sun Xiaojuan? Why didn't I see her today?

No one explained to Chen Feng, so he had to change into the uniform of a security guard. Chen Feng thought: It's always right to listen to the leader!

Carrying a gun on his back, Chen Feng came to the lounge, sat opposite Aunt Li, and started staring at her.

After about an hour, the guard Zhang Dalong came back with a gun, four tricycles and six people. The tricycles were full of pots, pans, and other household items. The six people included men, women, young and old, and they looked like a family.

Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly stepped forward and asked Zhang Dalong, "Hey, Brother Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Dalong said helplessly, "What else can it be? It's a disaster! The heavy snow yesterday collapsed the house. We are all from the station. We can't stay at our relatives' and friends' houses, so we moved here first."

After that, Zhang Dalong arranged for people to unload the truck. After unloading the truck, he took all the men and left again. After 40 to 50 minutes, several people and the truck came back.

It was not until around 3pm that Station Master Li, with his clothes in a mess, came back with everyone. Chen Feng also found Sun Xiaojuan. Her house must have collapsed under the snow like everyone else. No wonder he didn't see her in the morning.

After returning, Stationmaster Li arranged for someone to vacate the room. The lounge was temporarily cancelled and those who wanted to rest could go to the warehouse.

The finance office moved to the stationmaster's office, and the security guards' beds for resting during the night shift were moved to the communication room. The security guards temporarily worked in the communication room with Chen Feng.

The vacated houses were used to house three large families, and two single guys from the countryside were put in the tea room. The warehouse was filled with the belongings of these families.

Seeing that there were still two families, Li Guotao called Chen Feng into the office.

Chen Feng walked into the office and asked, "Stationmaster, are you looking for me?"

"Come! Sit down first!" Li Guotao did not answer Chen Feng's question, but asked him to sit down first, then stood up and poured a glass of water for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was at a loss for words because of what Station Master Li did. He said, "Station Master, if you have something to say, just tell me! What are you doing?"

Li Guotao poured himself a glass of water, then sat down and said, "It's like this. You saw it too. Because of the heavy snow yesterday, many of our station employees' houses were crushed. The relatives and friends you stayed with have already gone there and have not come to the station."

"The remaining stations are full. Now only Xiao Liu's family and Accountant Xiao Juan's family are left. There is no place for them to live in the station now."

"I'm thinking of this: Xiao Liu will stay at my house, and Accountant Xiao Juan will stay at your house. Is that okay with you?

Chen Feng was so shocked by what Station Master Li said that he almost jumped up on the spot, so he asked, "Why don't they all live in your house?"

Stationmaster Li rolled his eyes at Chen Feng and said, "Because my house can't accommodate so many people. I only have a larger house. There are four people in my family. At most, Xiao Liu's family of three can live here."

Chen Feng asked again, "Then why don't you let Accountant Xiaojuan go to the relative's house?"

Stationmaster Li patiently explained to Chen Feng, "Accountant Xiaojuan is now living in her parents' house. Since her husband became ill, she sold the house for his medical treatment. She moved into her parents' house, but her illness was not cured in the end."

"Her parents have passed away now, and she is left with her parents-in-law and children, a total of four people. Your three rooms will definitely be enough for them!"

After hearing this, Chen Feng sat in a daze on the chair, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Chen Feng picked up a newspaper beside him and rolled it into a microphone shape, poked it in front of Stationmaster Li, and then asked seriously, "Comrade Li Guotao, what do you think about letting a young widow live in a man's house? Can you tell me your personal thoughts on this matter?"

Stationmaster Li pushed away the newspaper that Chen Feng was pushing towards him and said, "Chen Feng, stop messing around!"

Chen Feng suddenly got excited and stood up, gesticulating and saying, "Is this a question of whether I should make a fuss or not? You let a young widow bring her family and children to live in the home of a young man like me! How can I find a wife to marry in the future?"

"Come, sit down first, don't get excited! Just think of it as doing me a favor. I will try to get you the title of Advanced Individual in our unit this year."

Stationmaster Li also stood up with Chen Feng, walked around the table, grabbed the jumping Chen Feng, pressed him down on the chair, and said to him while calming him down.

Chen Feng still refused to agree, muttering, "Not to mention the advanced individuals in our unit, even the national ones are not good enough! Don't say that I don't give you face, this is related to the issue of our Chen family's continuation of the family line!"

Stationmaster Li continued with a bitter face, "I don't have any other options. Others who were not affected by the disaster all had several people living in one room, so it's hard to accommodate anyone. Oh! If only my uncle Chen was here, he would definitely not let me do this for you!"

When Chen Feng heard Li Guotao bring up his grandfather, he quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey! Why are you mentioning my grandfather for no reason? Even if my grandfather is still alive, it's not okay! I said no, it's not okay!"

When Li Guotao saw that this trick was effective, he continued, "Hey! If Uncle Chen were here! Not to mention a young widow, even if it was ten young widows, as long as the family could accommodate them and the organization needed them, he could also let them move in!"

When Chen Feng heard that the organization had come out, he quickly raised his hands in surrender, saying, "Stop, stop, stop! Move in, move in! Move out now, okay? But if they move in, there will be no room in my kitchen?"

When Li Guotao heard Chen Feng agreed, he quickly said, "I'll have someone bring in the wood and build a kitchen for you in our corridor."

Chen Feng added, "There is only one unused bed in my house! They can't sleep on it! And there is no coal. The coal in my house is only enough for me!"

"It's okay! Let's go! Let's go out! I'll make all the arrangements!"

Then Li Guotao took the lead and walked out of the office door. Chen Feng, with his head hung, followed him out of the office.

When I got outside, I heard Stationmaster Li shouting, "Zhou Ping, Zhao Youshan, Li Dalong, Li Xiang, Wang Dajiang! Bring some wood, bed boards, bricks, and shovel a cart of coal. Follow Chen Feng home."

He turned around and said to Sun Xiaojuan, "Accountant Xiaojuan! You guys stay at Chen Feng's house for the next few days. When the weather clears up, I'll arrange for someone to repair the house. Just bear with it for a few days!"

When Sun Xiaojuan heard that she was going to live in Chen Feng's house, her face turned red. But she quickly recovered and said thank you to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't notice the change in Sun Xiaojuan's expression. He was feeling depressed! He casually replied that it was okay and squatted aside to smoke. Stationmaster Li didn't pay any attention to him and arranged for other people.

Soon everything was ready, and Stationmaster Li called Chen Feng.

Chen Feng came to Li Guotao upon hearing the voice. Seeing Chen Feng coming, Stationmaster Li began to give orders, "When you guys get to Chen Feng's house, follow his instructions. Come back if there's not enough wood. Accountant Xiaojuan, you and Chen Feng should go off work today! Go back and make arrangements at home, and come back to work next week. Okay, you guys can go!"

Then the five of them, each riding a tricycle, followed Chen Feng to the courtyard. Chen Feng only realized now that Grandma Sun Xiaojuan had been half-lying on a tricycle.

Soon, Chen Feng and his group arrived at the gate of the courtyard. The threshold of the courtyard was too high for the tricycle to pass through. Wang Dajiang and his group first lifted up Sun Xiaojuan's mother-in-law, and then followed Chen Feng into the yard.

Chen Feng asked them to put the man on the bed in Grandpa's room, heated the stove, and then said to them:

"Put the chest of drawers and cupboards in the main room first. Outside, under the eaves of the south room, build a kitchen with wood. Install a door and move all the kitchen utensils over there. Install doors in the north and south rooms. Ask Xiaojuan, the accountant, how many beds you want in the south room? That's all for now!"

Wang Dajiang replied, "I understand," and then started working with his men.

The young wives and middle-aged women in the yard heard the noise and came over to watch.

Chen Feng was in no mood to explain anything to them, so he went to the north room, sat down under the eaves and smoked a cigarette. Sun Xiaojuan was cleaning the room with her father-in-law.

In the meantime, Li Xiang and Zhou Ping went back to the scrap station and pulled two trucks of wooden boards. Sun Xiaojuan and her family divided the south room into two spaces. Sun Xiaojuan and her mother-in-law lived in the inner room, while her father-in-law and the children lived outside.

Chen Feng didn't care, he would redecorate the house when he got married anyway. Now they can do whatever they want!

Just when they were about to finish the work, Yan Fugui, who had left work early, heard the rumors about the three aunts and ran over to see what was going on.

Seeing Chen Feng sitting there, he also sat over, nudged Chen Feng with his elbow and asked, "Chen Feng! What's wrong with you?"

Chen Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him. He also lit one for himself and then said, "Didn't it snow yesterday? Some employees' houses at the scrap yard were crushed, and our station manager spent a whole day to rescue them. Those who have relatives in the city were arranged to stay with their relatives, and those who don't have relatives were arranged to stay at the scrap yard. There are only two families left, and the station manager even arranged for a family in my house."

Yan Fugui asked again, "How long are you going to stay here?"

Chen Feng answered truthfully, "After the weather clears up, the stationmaster will lead people to repair the house. It will take about a week."

Chen Feng then said, "By the way, when they move in, do you want to hold a hospital-wide meeting and introduce themselves to everyone?"

Yan Fugui nodded and said, "We need to hold a meeting for the whole hospital to get to know the neighbors. We will hold the meeting when Lao Yi comes back. Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I will go back and notify everyone."

Yan Fugui left after saying that. Not long after, Wang Dajiang and the others also finished their work and started to leave. Chen Feng went to the main room and shouted to the south room, "Accountant Xiaojuan, come out! I have something to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaojuan opened the door and came out to ask, "Chen Feng, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious. There will be a general meeting of the entire hospital around 8 o'clock. I will introduce you to your neighbors. Please make sure you arrange your dinner time so that there is no conflict. That's all."

Chen Feng told her about the meeting today.

Sun Xiaojuan nodded and responded, "I see. Thank you for letting me know."
