Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng transferred the bullets in the three boxes into the space, he tied the boxes to the back seat of the bicycle.

Then he rode his bicycle out of the scrap yard. Li Guotao had already approved leave for Chen Feng, so Chen Feng didn't have to go to work today.

When Chen Feng rode his bicycle to an empty alley, the empty bullet box on the back seat of the bicycle was also put into the space by Chen Feng.

Since there was nothing on the back seat of the bicycle, Chen Feng rode the bicycle to Master Lei's house as Director Wang mentioned.

After arriving at the place, he looked at the closed gate, parked his bicycle, walked forward, grabbed the door knocker, and knocked on the door.

When Chen Feng knocked for the second time, a woman's voice came from the yard, "Who is knocking on the door? Please wait a moment, I will open the door!"

When Chen Feng heard the sound in the yard, he let go of the door knocker and stood at the door waiting for the owner of the yard to open the door.

Chen Feng didn't have to wait long before a woman in her twenties opened the door.

Seeing Chen Feng standing at the door, she asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for when you knock on our door?"

Seeing her asking him, Chen Feng quickly replied, "Sister, I'm here to look for Master Lei. My family needs to have their house renovated, and Director Wang from the Street Office recommended me here."

The woman finally understood what Chen Feng said. She said, "Oh, you are here to see my father-in-law! Then come in!"

As he said this, he made way and Chen Feng entered the yard to get the certificate.

Chen Feng followed her inside and did not push the bicycle parked at the door.

When the woman saw that Chen Feng did not push the bicycle at the door or close the gate, she led Chen Feng directly into the yard.

When Chen Feng entered the yard, he saw a whole family eating breakfast in the yard.

A couple in their fifties sat at the main seat, with a young couple sitting on one side and a man in his twenties sitting on the other side. Two little boys sat at the lower seats.

While Chen Feng was observing, the woman who led Chen Feng in said to the old man sitting there, "Dad, someone wants you to repair the house. Director Wang from the Street Office introduced you!"

At this time, Chen Feng also shouted to the old man in the main seat, "Hello, Master Lei!"

Master Lei quickly stood up and said to Chen Feng, "I don't dare to be your master. Just call me Lao Lei!"

He walked up to Chen Feng and asked him, "Boss, are you going to repair the house? Where is it and how do you plan to repair it?"

"Chen Feng heard his question, so he replied, "I want to repair the house. My house is in Courtyard 95. How to repair it specifically? Master Lei, let's go to my house first, and then I will talk to you in detail!"

When Master Lei heard what Chen Feng said, he nodded and said, "Okay, Boss, let's go now!"

Chen Feng looked at the half bowl of porridge left on the table where he had just stood up, so he said, "Master Lei, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for you outside for a while. You should finish your meal and then go with me!"

Master Lei waved his hand indifferently, and then said, "It's okay, I've already eaten, let's go now!"

Seeing that he insisted and the courtyard was not far away, Chen Feng pushed his bicycle and walked back to the courtyard with Master Lei.

Arriving at the courtyard, Chen Feng led Master Lei to the backyard, opened the door of his house, and said, "Master Lei, look, this is my home."

Master Lei looked around inside and out, then said, "Boss, your house is quite spacious. How are you going to renovate it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng said to Master Lei, "I plan to raise the house a little and separate it into a second floor. Do you think it's possible?"

Master Lei said cautiously, "But boss, raising the height of the house requires approval from the street office. Have you asked the street office?"

When Chen Feng heard his words, he immediately took out the form he had filled out at the street office yesterday from his schoolbag. He handed it to Master Lei and said

"I have already applied to the subdistrict office, and they have approved it. Here is the proof!"

Master Lei took the form and looked at it. Then he said, "Since it has been reported, it will be easy. Mr. Boss, your house does not share a gable with your neighbor's house, so it can definitely be raised!"

Then Master Lei asked again, "Boss, how much higher are you going to raise it?"

Chen Feng pointed to the east wall and said, “Master Lei, look, I plan to raise the height of the two walls to more than five meters.

"This way, the first floor will have three meters of space, and the second floor will have more than two meters. Add in the north and south ridges of the gables, and the second floor will be large enough. Do you think it's okay?"

Master Lei took a look and said, "It's possible, but everyone, this will be a huge project! It will also cost a lot!"

Chen Feng said generously, "Money is not a problem, just repair the house!"

Master Lei nodded and said, "Since the boss has said so, let's do as you say!"

Next, Chen Feng and Master Lei discussed the layout of the new room.

After everything was discussed, Chen Feng said to Master Lei, "Master Lei, when we repair the house, please help me to bring the tap water into the kitchen, and also help to connect the sewer to the sewage pipe in the alley behind."

Master Lei said, "Boss, these are just small matters. Now that the plan for renovating the house has been finalized, when do we start construction?"

Chen Feng said to Master Lei, "I will find someone to move the furniture right away, and you can start work tomorrow afternoon."

Master Lei asked again, "Boss, let me tell you something first. You may not know that since you haven't modified the house, our construction team will provide you with a meal at noon when we repair the house."

As soon as Master Lei finished speaking, Chen Feng immediately said, "I am the only one at home, and I have to go to work. I think for lunch, you can go home and eat, and I will give you 30 cents per person per day. Master Lei, what do you think?"

Master Lei nodded, agreeing. Then he asked, "Boss, do you want to buy the materials yourself or give them to me?"

Chen Feng said without thinking, "I have given you the materials, and I don't understand them. I believe you won't cheat me by selling inferior products as good ones!"

Master Lei quickly assured, "That's for sure. Don't worry, sir. I won't ruin my reputation!"

Finally, Master Lei asked a little embarrassedly, "Boss, what is the price for this?"

Seeing him like this, Chen Feng said to him, "Master Lei, please wait a moment!"

Then Chen Feng went into the bedroom and came out again in a blink of an eye. When he came out, Chen Feng was holding a wad of money in his hand.

Chen Feng stuffed the money into Master Lei's hand and said, "This thousand yuan is your deposit! But you must use the things well!"

Master Lei took the money and immediately said, "Boss, don't worry, I will notify people right away. I will bring people here at one o'clock in the afternoon!"

Chen Feng also said to him, "Master Lei, then you go and get busy! I should also find someone to move the furniture."

Master Lei put the money in his pocket and said, "Boss, I'll go back first. See you in the afternoon!"

Chen Feng also said, "Master Lei, I'll take you there!"

Master Lei quickly said, "Master, please stay! I can go by myself!"

But Chen Feng still insisted on sending Master Lei out of the courtyard.

After sending Master Lei off and returning to the house, Chen Feng put all his clothes and quilts into the space and took off the honor card.

Then, Chen Feng went to the street to find a few vendors and directed them to move all the furniture to the scrap yard.

After arriving at the scrap yard, Li Guotao had already had someone clean up the security room, so Chen Feng put the bed directly into the security room.

The furniture and other things were placed under the shed, but in fact, the furniture was empty. Chen Feng had put all the trivial things in the space, just to show others when he moved.

After finishing everything, Chen Feng had lunch on the street. Then, he started waiting at home for Master Lei to bring people.

Chen Feng didn't wait for Master Lei, but waited for Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui hurriedly ran to the backyard and saw that the door of Chen Feng's house was not closed, so he rushed towards Chen Feng's house without slowing down.

Chen Feng looked at Yan Fugui who rushed in and asked in surprise, "Teacher Yan, what happened to you? Why are you running so fast?"

Yan Fugui saw Chen Feng was still at home, and without even taking a breath, he asked hurriedly, "Chen Feng, I heard from your third aunt that you are moving out of the courtyard. Is this true?"

Chen Feng looked at Yan Fugui who was running out of breath, and did not answer his question. Instead, he said, "Teacher Yan, take a breath and rest first, I will tell you slowly!"

Yan Fugui took two deep breaths and then asked, "Tell me first, is what your third aunt said true?"

Chen Feng said helplessly, "It's definitely not true!"

Yan Fugui asked again, "Then your third aunt said you asked someone to help you move!"

Yan Fugui looked around and then said, "You've moved all the furniture away, and you still say you're not moving? Did you move to live like that?"

Chen Feng explained to Yan Fugui, "I am planning to renovate my house, so I will temporarily move my furniture to the scrapyard. I will also temporarily live in the scrapyard, and I will move back when the house is finished!"

Yan Fugui finally understood, so he asked again, "Why didn't you discuss the renovations with me and Lao Yi, and didn't you notify the neighbors in the yard?"

Chen Feng was very confused about this. He didn't understand why he needed to discuss with Yi Zhonghai before renovating his house.

So Chen Feng said to Yan Fugui, "Teacher Yan, why should I discuss this with Yi Zhonghai when I renovate my house?"

Yan Fugui heard Chen Feng's question and said, "How can you repair the house without reporting it to Lao Yi? What if the street office comes to you and doesn't allow you to repair it?"

Chen Feng said even more puzzledly, "I have already reported it to the street office. Do I need to report it to Yi Zhonghai? Director Wang didn't tell me about this?"

Yan Fugui was also surprised when he heard Chen Feng say that he had reported to the street committee.

He quickly said, "How can you go directly to the street office? For matters in our courtyard, we always go to Lao Yi first, and then Lao Yi talks to the street office. If you do this, Lao Yi will be angry!"

Chen Feng said indifferently, "If he is angry, then he is angry! What does it have to do with me?"

Seeing Chen Feng like this, Yan Fugui stopped talking. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Feng said, "Teacher Yan, please tell the neighbors that the house repairs are a bit noisy. Please tolerate them."

After hearing this, Yan Fugui said to Chen Feng, "I know, I will help you tell him!"

Then Yan Fugui left the backyard and went back to the front yard.
