Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng returned home, he and Jin Ling washed up and went to bed.

Tomorrow Chen Feng plans to go to the scrap yard to file a complaint with Li Guotao about Yi Zhonghai, and ask Station Master Li to send a document to the steel mill, questioning how the mill's leaders educate their employees.

The next day, Chen Feng got up and looked at the calendar and found that today was New Year's Eve and tomorrow was the Spring Festival.

Even if Chen Feng went to file a complaint today, Li Guotao would immediately write an official document, and by the time the document arrived at the steel mill, the steel mill would not have time to deal with Yi Zhonghai today.

So Chen Feng thought about it and decided not to go to the scrap yard to complain today, and wait until after the New Year. Today he had no choice but to let Yi Zhonghai go and let him have a good New Year.

I hope Yi Zhonghai can hold on when he starts working next year.

So when Jin Ling went to work to collect her salary and close the ring, Chen Feng also left the courtyard, leaving Jin Ming alone at home to watch the house.

Chen Feng left the courtyard, found an empty dead end, and got on a cart loaded with 300 kilograms of flour, half a pig, and dozens of kilograms of soybean oil.

There were also a few old hens whose necks were broken by Chen Feng and a fish that was frozen as soon as it was taken out. After thinking for a while, Chen Feng put another basket of eggs on the cart.

Although he sold all the big fish to Hou Debang last time, Chen Feng still left some small fish fry and dozens of various fish weighing about three or four kilograms in the space.

These fish were bred by the big fish themselves. Chen Feng kept some small fry for breeding and kept three or four kilograms of fish for himself to eat in the next year.

After putting the things away, Chen Feng took a piece of cloth and covered the cart. It was called cloth, but in fact it was just a few sacks that Chen Feng had sewn together.

After building it, Chen Feng pulled these things and walked towards the yard where Old Man Huang lived. When he arrived, Chen Feng knocked on the door.

Because Chen Feng knew that one of Old Man Huang and his companions had always been in poor health and often stayed at home to recuperate, so Chen Feng was not afraid that there would be no one in the yard.

After Chen Feng knocked on the door, an old man opened the gate soon.

He was not surprised to see Chen Feng coming. Since Chen Feng stopped going to work, he came here every few days. But it was always after get off work in the evening. He came here just to chat with him and a few others, and then went back after sitting for a while.

He just didn't expect Chen Feng to come back so early in the morning, so Old Man Zhang said to Chen Feng enthusiastically, "Xiao Feng, you're here! Come in and sit for a while, it's cold outside!"

When Chen Feng heard Old Man Zhang's invitation to him, he said, "Grandpa Zhang, I came here to give you New Year's goods. I will take them back after I'm done. I won't do it anymore. I'll move the things in first!"

When Old Man Zhang saw the cart pulled by Chen Feng, he quickly removed the threshold of the courtyard.

This door was originally dead, but since Chen Feng started delivering things here, Old Man Huang and his friends replaced the threshold with a live one.

After removing the threshold, Old Man Zhang helped Chen Feng push the cart into the yard, and then Old Man Zhang closed the gate again. He also knew that it would be inconvenient for Chen Feng to pull things in for the neighbors to see.

As soon as Chen Feng entered the yard, he began to carry the flour bags from the cart into the room, and Old Man Zhang helped to carry the chickens and fish into the room.

After Chen Feng unloaded all the things, he said to Old Man Zhang, "Grandpa Zhang, I have put everything away. You and Grandpa Huang should not save anything. I will send it to you after you finish eating!"

"Hurry up and process those chickens, fish and chickens, otherwise they won't taste good if they are left for too long!"

"It's getting late now, and I should go back to prepare things for my house. I'll be back first!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Old Man Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, it's New Year's Day, I won't keep you here! But please walk slowly on the road!"

After Chen Feng told Old Man Zhang that he understood, he left the yard.

After leaving the yard, Chen Feng found another dead end, put the cart into the space, and then rode his bicycle to the courtyard.

After returning to his courtyard home, as soon as Jin Ming saw Chen Feng coming back, he filled his two pockets with firecrackers and double-kick firecrackers, took out three small firecrackers, and lit a stick of incense.

Then he shouted to Chen Feng, "Brother-in-law, I'm going to play with Xiaolong and the others!"

Then he ran out of the backyard.

Chen Feng had no objection to Jin Ming going out to play. He was even a little happy. There was no one at home, which made it convenient for him to do it.

Chen Feng came to the kitchen, filled the noodle jar first, and then took out six fish, two carps, two grass carps and two silver carps, all weighing more than three pounds.

He took out a basket of eggs, three old hens, and a pork leg from the space. Chen Feng saw that there were only two pounds of soybean oil left in the kitchen, so he took out another ten pounds.

After Chen Feng took out all the things, he didn't stop and started killing the fish directly. He also started boiling water on the stove and was going to kill the chicken later.

After Chen Feng processed the fish and bled the chicken, Jin Ling also came back from the scrap yard carrying some things.

Jin Ling didn't bring back much this time. The scrap station had already distributed the New Year's benefits once when Chen Feng delivered things to the scrap station.

Then Jin Ling only brought back some melon seeds, peanut candies, and other things.

Maybe Li Guotao felt that it was the New Year and it would be embarrassing to let the employees go back empty-handed, so he purchased some melon seeds and peanuts.

In fact, it was Chen Feng's fault, because he always delivered things to the scrap yard. The scrap yard had nothing to feed, so it could only deliver things in advance every time, so that there was nothing to deliver during the holidays.

When Jin Ling came back and saw Chen Feng preparing to skin the chickens, she didn't ask where these things came from. After a month of marriage, Jin Ling also understood that Chen Feng had his own way of purchasing things.

So Chen Feng didn't say anything and Jin Ling didn't ask either. So Jin Ling put the things in her hand on the eight-immortals table, then came to Chen Feng and took over Chen Feng's work.

Chen Feng saw Jin Ling was willing to help scald the chicken, so he didn't fight with him. He returned to the kitchen, cut a piece of meat from the pig's hind leg, and then started to chop it with cabbage for dumpling filling.

While Chen Feng was still chopping dumpling stuffing in the kitchen, Hou Debang came to Chen Feng's door carrying some things and saw Jin Ling shedding a chicken at the door.

He immediately opened his mouth and asked Jin Ling, "Sister-in-law Jin Ling, is my brother Chen at home?"

When Jin Ling heard someone calling her sister-in-law, she quickly looked up and found that it was the wealthy man Hou Debang!

Jin Ling remembered Hou Debang. After all, there were not many people in this era who could give fifty yuan as a gift. Anyway, Jin Ling had only seen Hou Debang.

After finding out it was Hou Debang, Jin Ling quickly stood up, wiped the water off her hands on her apron, and said, "It's Brother Hou, my husband is chopping dumpling stuffing in the house! Come on, Brother Hou, please come in quickly!"

Then Jin Ling led Hou Debang into the main room, and then Jin Ling shouted to Chen Feng in the kitchen, "Husband, Brother Hou is here, you should come out and entertain him!"

When Chen Feng heard Jin Ling's call, he put down the knife in his hand, took off his apron, and left the kitchen.

When Chen Feng came out of the kitchen, he saw Hou Debang standing in the middle of the hall holding a cloth bag. Seeing this, Chen Feng hurriedly went up to him and said.

"Brother Hou, why are you here during Chinese New Year?"

As he was talking, Chen Feng pulled Hou Debang to the eight-immortals table and sat down.

While Chen Feng was meeting Hou Debang, Jin Ling also went into the kitchen to make two cups of tea and came out with a plate of peanuts and melon seeds.

After putting down the peanuts, melon seeds and tea, Jin Ling returned to the kitchen with the almost-chewed chicken.

After Hou Debang and Chen Feng had made their decision, Hou Debang spoke up, "Isn't today Chinese New Year? I'm here to wish you a happy new year, Brother Chen!"

When Chen Feng heard Hou Debang's words, he quickly responded with a smile, "Brother Hou, look at what you said. With our relationship, it's hard to say whether we should celebrate the New Year or not."

"If you want to say happy New Year, I'm the one wishing you a happy New Year!"

"Look, you are the director, higher than me in terms of position. You are also older than me. How can you, big brother, wish a young man a happy new year?"

Hou Debang smiled when he heard Chen Feng's words, and did not dwell on this topic anymore. Instead, he changed the subject.

He suddenly moved closer to Chen Feng and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Chen, it is thanks to this batch of supplies from you that I was able to gain a foothold in the steel plant. You can be considered my lifesaver this time!"

When Chen Feng heard what Hou Debang said, he also said with a smile, "Brother Hou, there is no need for us to talk about this! Isn't helping you also helping myself?"

Chen Feng's words sound nice, but Hou Debang knows that whoever has meat and food is the boss. Chen Feng doesn't have his own line, and there are many people who want to buy supplies from Chen Feng.

I have a small amount of Chen Feng's supplies. Although I won't change them, they are almost half gone. So I rushed to pay New Year's greetings to Chen Feng during the New Year.

Seeing Chen Feng say this, although Hou Debang knew that it was just a polite remark from Chen Feng, he was still very happy.

Seeing this, Hou Debang asked Chen Feng again, "Brother Chen! Is it really impossible to increase the number of our rabbits?"

Hou Debang is now the purchasing section chief of a steel plant. The steel plant is much larger than a rolling mill. They buy about 10,000 rabbits every month, which is only enough for two extra meals a month for the steel plant.

Seeing Hou Debang mentioning the rabbits again, Chen Feng said, "There is no way to add more rabbits, but I can give you more than 20,000 eggs every month in the future."

"I'll give you a batch of wild boars every three to four months. The number of wild boars is uncertain. Let's see how many we can catch."

When Hou Debang heard what Chen Feng said, although he was not very satisfied with the result this time, it was good to get something more, which was better than nothing.

In fact, Chen Feng said this after careful consideration. As for wild boars, they can be fed with sweet potatoes. As for chickens, raising two hundred of them every month would not be too stressful for Chen Feng and he could afford it.

After agreeing on the terms, Hou Debang chatted with Chen Feng for a while, then got up and said goodbye. After Chen Feng sent him to the gate of the courtyard, he went back to the backyard to continue chopping dumpling stuffing.
