Siheyuan: I just want to live

In the next few days, Chen Feng no longer paid much attention to the things in the yard and devoted himself to the preparations for the New Year.

My wife sleeps until noon every day, eats something after getting up, and then goes out shopping.

During this period, Chen Feng took the time to go to the black market again and bought cigarettes, alcohol, and snack tickets.

The next day, he took the tickets to the supply and marketing cooperative and successfully bought ten bottles of Moutai and some snacks.

Since the ticket dealers in the black market didn't have any Zhonghua cigarette tickets, Chen Feng could only buy some Class B cigarette tickets for his own use.

In this way, Chen Feng's purchasing activities lasted until the 29th day of the lunar year.

It was not until the afternoon of the 29th, when Chen Feng was taking inventory of supplies, that he realized that he had forgotten to buy red paper and firecrackers in the past few days.

So Chen Feng went to the supply and marketing cooperative as usual and bought two pieces of red paper and a bunch of different kinds of firecrackers.

When Chen Feng came back, Jin Ling saw a pile of fireworks and firecrackers on the table like a small mountain.

She was very surprised and asked Chen Feng, "Husband, are you okay? Why did you buy so many guns?"

Facing Jin Ling's question, Chen Feng said as a matter of course, "Of course it's for Jin Ming to play with!"

Then Chen Feng said to Jin Ming, who was standing next to him with shining eyes, "Jin Ming, take some firecrackers and take Xingxing and the others to go play with Xiaolong and Xiaohu!"

"But don't play too late, come back early for dinner! Don't wait for your sister to find you!"

When Jin Ming heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately said, "I know, brother-in-law!"

Then he grabbed a few strings of small firecrackers, stuffed many other firecrackers into his pockets, and finally took out a few incense sticks before leaving the house with Xingxing and the others.

After the children left, Jin Ling started to complain to Chen Feng again, "That's what you said! Can't you just buy a few firecrackers for Jin Ming? Why do you have to buy so many!"

However, while Jin Ling was complaining about Chen Feng, she did not forget to take the firecrackers on the table into Jin Ming's house.

It would be a bit of a nuisance to put so many firecrackers on the table in the main room. Since they are all bought for Jin Ming, I might as well put them in his room.

Listening to Jin Ling's complaints, Chen Feng sat on a chair, drinking tea and saying, "That's all your fault!"

"Hey, how can you blame me?"

"I can't blame you, but who can I blame! A few years ago, I took Jin Ming to buy cannons, and you said you acted like a child. Last year, I gave Jin Ming money to buy it himself, and you said I gave him too much money."

"I won't give him money this year, I bought him the firecrackers. And you complained that he bought too many firecrackers!"

Jin Ling listened to Chen Feng's words, curled her lips, and said to Chen Feng, "I don't even want to say anything to you! Who would give their child ten yuan to buy firecrackers to play with?"

"Our home! Whose home could it be?"

Jin Ling was so angry at Chen Feng's words that she glared at Chen Feng fiercely and was about to say something.

But at this time, Chen Feng spoke first and said, "Okay, wife, don't worry about it! I bought two pieces of red paper today, and you will have time to write our family's Spring Festival couplets later."

Maybe Jin Ling was still angry about what happened just now. She said to Chen Feng angrily, "Aren't you very capable? Then why don't you write?"

Chen Feng listened to Jin Ling's words, touched his nose awkwardly, and then said, "I don't know how to use a brush, how can I write?"

Listening to Chen Feng's words, Jin Ling continued to taunt, "Oh my! I didn't expect that there are things in this world that our Master Chen can't do!"

Chen Feng was not embarrassed by Jin Ling's ridicule, but said, "There are many things I don't know how to do! If you don't write it, I'll ask Jin Ming to write it later."

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling sighed and said, "Let me write it. Jin Ming's handwriting is too embarrassing to show it to others!"

In fact, in Chen Feng's opinion, Jin Ming's handwriting is quite good. It's just that Jin Ling's expectations of him are too high.

However, when Jin Ling said she would write it, Chen Feng didn't say anything more, but walked out with his hands behind his back like a big boss.

Chen Feng was thinking about something while walking. When he reached the middle courtyard, he accidentally saw Sha Zhu harassing Qin Huairu. However, Chen Feng did not stop, not even looking at him, and walked straight to the front courtyard.

After arriving at the front yard, Chen Feng saw a group of people gathered in front of Yan Fugui's house. This scene was already commonplace to him.

Without thinking too much, he knew that Yan Fugui must be selling Spring Festival couplets again. Chen Feng just glanced at him indifferently and continued to walk out of the yard.

Finally arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Chen Feng looked around, looking for Jin Ming.

Sure enough, there was a burst of laughter coming from not far away. It turned out that Jin Ming was playing with Xiaolong, Xiaohu and a few other children in the snow.

The children were enjoying the happy moments of the festival and their laughter filled the air.

Chen Feng stood at the door and watched for a while, then suddenly shouted to Jin Ming: "Jin Ming, come here!"

When Jin Ming heard Chen Feng's call, he immediately ran towards Chen Feng like a happy little rabbit.

When he came to Chen Feng, he asked with a smile on his face: "Brother-in-law, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Feng looked around and made sure that Jin Ling did not follow him out. Then he took out five dollars from his pocket and quickly put it into Jin Ming's hand.

Then, he lowered his voice and reminded: "Take this money and take Xiaolong and Xiaohu to buy some snacks. Remember not to let your sister know, otherwise she will definitely blame me!"

Jin Ming tightly grasped the five dollars, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He nodded repeatedly and replied: "Yes! I understand, brother-in-law!"

Chen Feng looked at Jin Ming's happy look and couldn't help but rub his head with his hand, saying gently: "Okay, go and have fun! Remember to come back early for dinner in the evening!"

Jin Ming grinned, revealing his white teeth, and replied with a smile: "I know, brother-in-law!"

After saying that, he turned and ran towards his friends, excitedly sharing the good news with them.

Chen Feng saw Jin Ming wave her hand, and then Xiaolong and Xiaohu carried Chen Feng's two children and followed Jin Ming to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Wow!" The two little guys screamed excitedly. They hugged Xiaolong and Xiaohu's necks tightly, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in their eyes.

Chen Feng looked at this scene and just smiled.

Then he walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back like a big boss.

When Chen Feng arrived at the door of Yan Fugui's house, most of the people at Yan Fugui's door had already left, leaving only two or three people chatting. They sat together, talking and laughing, and seemed to be discussing some interesting topics.

Among these people, Chen Feng also found Sha Zhu. It seemed that he had finished flirting with Qin Huairu and ran to the front yard to chat with someone.

Sha Zhu's face was filled with smiles and he seemed to be in a good mood. When he communicated with others, his tone was relaxed and cheerful.

Chen Feng continued walking forward and passed by Yan Fugui's house.

"Hey, Chen Feng, don't leave in such a hurry!"

Yan Fugui, who was chatting with Sha Zhu, saw Chen Feng coming in from outside, so he immediately called Chen Feng.

Chen Feng heard someone calling him, so he turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. He saw Yan Fugui waving at him.

So Chen Feng walked a few steps towards Yan Fugui, and then asked Yan Fugui, "Teacher Yan, what do you want to ask me for?"

When Yan Fugui saw Chen Feng coming over, he picked up a pair of Spring Festival couplets from the table, handed them to Chen Feng and said, "Chen Feng! Third uncle saw that your family was the only one that didn't come to write Spring Festival couplets, so Third uncle left a pair for you!"

Chen Feng looked at the Spring Festival couplets handed over by Yan Fugui, but did not take it. Instead, he looked at Yan Fugui in confusion.

Chen Feng was a little confused. Did Yan Fugui forget that Jin Ling had been writing Spring Festival couplets for his family in recent years? Why did he write Spring Festival couplets for himself?

Seeing that Chen Feng refused to accept the Spring Festival couplets he handed over, Yan Fugui hadn't said anything yet, but Sha Zhu on the side spoke first.

Sha Zhu said from the side, "Chen Feng, hurry up and take the Spring Festival couplets that Uncle San specially left for you! Don't let Uncle San down."

Listening to Sha Zhu's words, Yan Fugui also said, "Chen Feng, just accept it quickly! Don't be polite to me, your uncle!"

Yan Fugui thought Chen Feng was embarrassed to ask for it, so he also tried to persuade him.

So Chen Feng said to Yan Fugui, "Teacher Yan, I don't want this couplet. You know, Jin Ling has been writing the couplets for my family in the past two years."

"Jin Ling should have finished writing it at home by now, so I don't want your couplets."

When Yan Fugui heard Chen Feng's words, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

When he was writing Spring Festival couplets for Chen Feng, he was only thinking about the piece of meat that Jin Ling brought back and the person that Chen Feng brought back these two days. He forgot that the Spring Festival couplets in Chen Feng's house were all written by Jin Ling in the past two years.

He had originally thought that if Chen Feng accepted the couplets, then the gift Chen Feng would give him in return would definitely be more than that given by others in the courtyard.

But looking at the situation now, let alone a return gift, I will have to fold another piece of red paper this year.

At this time, Sha Zhu's voice sounded again, and he said with a hint of sarcasm, "Chen Feng! Just accept the Spring Festival couplets that Uncle San wrote for you!"

"These Spring Festival couplets are all written by men. I have never heard of women writing Spring Festival couplets! It is so unlucky for a woman to write Spring Festival couplets!"

Hearing Sha Zhu's words, Chen Feng immediately glared at Sha Zhu, and then said in a deep voice, "Sha Zhu, if you can't speak, I can help you sew your mouth shut!"

When Sha Zhu heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately got angry.

He took two steps forward, rolled up his sleeves, and said to Chen Feng, "How can you talk like that, kid!"

Seeing the aggressive Sha Zhu, Chen Feng also put his hands in his trouser pockets, and then said to Sha Zhu sarcastically, "What's the matter? Want to have fun?"

When Yan Fugui saw that Sha Zhu and Chen Feng were on the verge of a fight, he immediately stood between them and began to persuade them.

"Alright, alright! Don't be angry! Don't be angry! The Chen Feng family has the Spring Festival couplets, so forget it. Don't get into a fight over this."

Then he pulled Shazhu to his home, saying, "Shazhu, come! Come to my house, I have something to talk to you about!"

Then he forcibly dragged Shazhu into his home.
