Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng returned home, he did not take what Yan Fugui said to heart.

He knew in his heart that if he really wanted to find a job, with the items produced by his own space, he could easily find any type of job he wanted in this era of material scarcity and difficult life.

Therefore, he did not care about Yan Fugui's words.

After returning home, Chen Feng quickly closed the door and entered the space impatiently. He was eager to know whether the hen in the space had hatched chicks and feed the pigs in the space.

When he stepped into the space, he was pleasantly surprised to find a hen leading a few chicks that had just hatched from their shells, happily pecking at corn kernels on the ground.

Seeing these cute chicks, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile. Although the hen needs to pause for a while before it can continue to lay eggs after hatching the chicks, the scene in front of him still made him happy.

After all, these hens are already quite old, and their egg production will gradually decrease in the future. Having these newly hatched chicks is just right to continue to ensure the supply of eggs.

Once the chicks grow up and start laying eggs, the older hens can be killed for meat.

It’s just that the number of chicks hatched this time is a little too many, but that’s not a problem. When the chicks grow up, the excess can be stored in the fresh-keeping area.

In this way, only one hundred hens need to be kept outside, and a batch of them replaced every year, to ensure a steady supply of fresh eggs every year.

After checking the chicken coop, Chen Feng went to feed the rabbits and pigs. He placed sweet potatoes and grass in front of them and watched them eat with gusto, feeling very satisfied.

These animals are the result of his hard work and are a part of his life.

After feeding the pigs and rabbits, Chen Feng happily came to the yard, ready to start a new task. He carefully moved the woodworking lathe out and placed it on the open space.

The day before yesterday, he saw Jin Ming writing on the eight-immortals table, and an idea came to his mind: to make a special writing table and a comfortable bench for Jin Ming.

Therefore, Chen Feng decided to use this free time to make these furniture in the space. After some hard work, the table and bench were finally completed.

However, when he examined the two works, he suddenly realized that there was no paint in the space. Chen Feng muttered to himself, it seems that he can't make them more beautiful today.

However, he thought about it and felt that it was okay, after all, this was an item for his own use, not for sale. Therefore, even if there was no paint, it would not affect the actual use.

When it breaks down, Chen Feng can make a new one. There is still plenty of pine wood available in the space, so he doesn't have to worry about running out of materials.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt a little relieved. Then, he took the table and bench out of the space without hesitation and moved them into Jin Ming's room.

Looking at the brand new tables and benches, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction. Although they were not painted with bright colors, they were full of natural atmosphere.

He believed that Jin Ming would like this special gift. For Chen Feng, this experience was not only a simple handmade craft, but also a love and care for the family.

After finishing, Chen Feng looked at the time and found that it was almost eleven o'clock. Seeing this, Chen Feng thought that he should start cooking.

After all, Jin Ling didn't bring lunch to work today. If I don't cook, I have to cook again when she gets home from get off work. That's so troublesome. Thinking of this, Chen Feng decided that it would be more convenient to cook at home.

So Chen Feng walked into the kitchen and started preparing lunch. He skillfully washed, cut and cooked vegetables, and soon, delicious dishes were placed on the table. Just as Chen Feng was about to enjoy the food, Jin Ling also returned home from get off work.

Not long after, Jin Ming also came home from school. Seeing Jin Ling and her brother were back, Chen Feng warmly invited them to have dinner together.

The family sat around the dining table, eating and chatting happily.

After dinner, Jin Ling took the initiative to wash the dishes. She quickly cleaned the dishes and then rushed to the waste station to continue working. Chen Feng took a short rest at home and then went out to send Jin Ming to school.

In fact, Jin Ming is now able to go to and from school independently, and he already knows the route to school by heart.

However, Chen Feng happened to be free, so he personally sent the child to school. This was also a good opportunity to enhance his relationship with Jin Ming.

After sending Jin Ming to school safely, Chen Feng did not choose to return home immediately. Instead, he leisurely rode his bicycle and began to wander around the city.

Along the way, he enjoyed the scenery of the city and felt the unique charm of old Beijing.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon. Chen Feng then leisurely returned to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Feng started preparing dinner without stopping. He skillfully cut vegetables and cooked them, busy and happy. Tonight's dishes were still the familiar cabbage, potatoes, eggs and pork.

But when Chen Feng was willing to use more oil and seasonings, these home-cooked dishes became exceptionally delicious.

When the four dishes and one soup were all finished, Jin Ling just came back from get off work. She walked into the kitchen and saw the neatly arranged meals on the table, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

After dinner, Chen Feng went straight upstairs to his room, leaving Jin Ling alone to clean up the dishes.

Chen Feng was half lying leisurely on the bed, holding a novel in his hands and reading it casually.

After Jin Ling lay down on the bed, Chen Feng asked Jin Ling: "Jin Ling, how do you feel about work today?"

Jin Ling was lying in bed. When she heard Chen Feng's question, she looked up at him and replied, "It's fine! I'm just too idle. I only delivered a newspaper to the office today. The rest of the time I was just daydreaming."

Chen Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard her say that she had been in a daze for a whole day. He felt that although Jin Ling's job was easy, she couldn't waste her time. So Chen Feng decided to teach her some tips on slacking off.

"Jin Ling, don't you know something about identification? After you finish delivering newspapers at work tomorrow, you can look through the waste pile to see if there are any old items. If there are, we can buy them and keep them for collection."

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng's words, she blinked, with a hint of curiosity and excitement in her eyes. She didn't expect that she could do this, so she agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll go look for it tomorrow."

Chen Feng saw that Jin Ling had agreed, so he said nothing more. He shrank down, turned off the light, and prepared to go to bed.

The next day, after Jin Ling went to work, Chen Feng cleaned up the house and went out.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Feng rode his bicycle towards the outskirts of the city.

When they got outside the city and saw that there was no one around, Chen Feng entered the space with his car.

After entering the space, Chen Feng put 1,000 kilograms of corn kernels into six sacks. The sacks were placed on a cart, and then Chen Feng took the cart out of the space.

After getting outside, Chen Feng pulled the cart and walked towards the scrap yard with difficulty. It was not until almost noon that Chen Feng pulled the cart into the scrap yard.

Arriving at the scrap yard, Chen Feng glanced at the communication room and found that Jin Ling was not there. Chen Feng glanced around the scrap yard again and found that Jin Ling was looking for something under the shed.

After seeing Jin Ling, Chen Feng did not disturb her, but went directly to Li Guotao's office.

After entering the office, Chen Feng said directly to Li Guotao, "Stationmaster, I have brought the food back! It's outside. Do you want to check it?"

Li Guotao was also surprised when he heard Chen Feng say that the grain had been brought back. This Chen Feng was really capable. He had completed the task assigned to him yesterday today. His efficiency was really high.

So Li Guotao quickly said, "Really? Then take me to see it!"

Then Chen Feng led Li Guotao to the office door.

I saw several sacks piled on a cart outside the office door.

Li Guotao quickly pulled down a sack, untied it and took a look. He found that what Chen Feng had pulled back were all corn kernels, so Li Guotao asked Chen Feng.

"Chen Feng! Why are all the food you brought back corn kernels? Shouldn't it be cornmeal?"

As for why it was corn kernels, it was because Chen Feng was too lazy to grind them into flour, so he just brought the corn kernels back directly.

Of course, Chen Feng would not say this to Li Guotao, so Chen Feng said, "Stationmaster! If you don't go shopping, you don't know! It's good enough to have food now!"

"Why are you still picking out corn kernels and cornmeal? It's just me. Others can't even buy corn cobs!"

Li Guotao nodded slightly after hearing what Chen Feng said. Chen Feng said that it was true that food was in short supply. Many purchases at the headquarters failed to obtain food.

Chen Feng was able to purchase food, which meant that Chen Feng still had connections! The more connections he had, the more he couldn't let him go.

Thinking of this, Li Guotao said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you completed the task well this time! I will mention it to the headquarters tomorrow, and I will give you a raise before the New Year!"

Chen Feng heard what Li Guotao said and was about to thank him. But he suddenly remembered that he had already given the job to Jin Ling. How could Li Guotao give him a raise?

Thinking of this, Chen Feng quickly said, "Stationmaster, haven't I already resigned? Why are you giving me a raise?"

When Li Guotao heard what Chen Feng said, although he knew what he was talking about, he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "When did you resign? How come I didn't know?"

Hearing this, Chen Feng quickly said, "Didn't I give the job to my wife? Doesn't this count as resignation?"

Li Guotao heard Chen Feng ask this question, so he said, "You gave the security guard position to Jin Ling, but you still have the purchasing and security positions? Why are you leaving?"

When Chen Feng heard what Li Guotao said, he froze! Chen Feng really didn't expect that Li Guotao would say this.
