Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chen Feng quietly gazed at the house where he had lived for several years, his eyes focused and deep.

At this time, Master Lei was standing aside, staring at the house in a trance, as if he was lost in some memories. Chen Feng did not disturb him, but just observed silently.

This house was built brick by brick by Master Lei himself, just like his own child.

Now that he has returned to this place again, Master Lei must have been filled with endless emotion and feelings. At this moment of emotion, Chen Feng also gave him respect and understanding.

After a while, Master Lei came back to his senses from his contemplation, turned to look at Chen Feng and said, "Boss, let's not waste time here, let's go and see what's going on with the door."

"After all, the sun is about to set. If the door cannot be repaired quickly, you may have to sleep with the door open tonight."

Chen Feng listened to his humorous words, a smile appeared on his face, and he responded with a smile: "Okay! Master Lei, come with me!"

After saying that, Chen Feng turned around and led Master Lei towards the door of the main hall.

After arriving at the door of the main room, Master Lei stopped and his eyes fell on the two doors that fell to the ground.

However, he did not say much, but just squatted down silently, carefully examined the door panel on the ground, and carefully looked at the extent of damage to the door panel.

Then he stood up again and walked to the door frame, carefully observing its structure and joints. He also shook the door frames on both sides with his hands to try to understand their stability and solidity.

Throughout the entire process, Master Lei remained focused and professional, without any sloppiness.

After the inspection, he came to Chen Feng and said to him respectfully, "Boss, I just took a look and found that your door panels and door frames are somewhat damaged."

He frowned, looking a little embarrassed, and then said, "It may be too late to fix everything today. How about this, I will just do a simple repair for you today, and you can just use it tonight."

He looked up at Chen Feng with a questioning look in his eyes, and continued, "Tomorrow morning, I will bring people to help you fix it. Boss, do you think this is okay?"

When Chen Feng heard what Master Lei said, although he had some doubts in his heart, he immediately said: "Okay, let's do as you say, Master Lei!"

After all, he didn't know how to repair the door. Instead of letting a layman like him give orders, it would be better to leave professional matters to professionals.

So when Master Lei heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately said, "Okay, sir! I'll help you fix the door first!"

As he spoke, Master Lei began to take tools out of the tool bag, and then started hammering and repairing the door panels and door frames.

Chen Feng just watched from the side and did not help him. Soon, Master Lei reinstalled the door panel.

After the installation was completed, Lei said to Chen Feng, "Boss, I have temporarily fixed this door for you. You can use it first. I will fix it for you tomorrow!"

After hearing what Master Lei said, Chen Feng nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Lei!"

Seeing Chen Feng being so polite, Master Lei quickly said, "Boss, you are too kind. This is not a hard job!"

Then Master Lei saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Chen Feng, "Boss, it's getting late, I'll go back first?"

Seeing that the door was temporarily usable, Chen Feng did not try to persuade him to stay, so he said, "I'll take it back to you!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Master Lei quickly said, "Master Shi, you better stay! I can go out by myself, no need for you to see me off!"

As he spoke, Master Lei started walking out of the courtyard. Until Master Lei left, neither he nor Chen Feng mentioned the wages for repairing the door.

I guess I should wait until the door is completely repaired tomorrow before settling the wages.

After Master Lei left, Chen Feng went back to the house and into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After entering the kitchen, Chen Feng looked at the messy scene in front of him and felt a surge of anger in his heart.

The kitchen was full of traces of having been turned over, pots and pans had been thrown away at random, and food ingredients were scattered all over the floor, as if it had experienced a catastrophe.

He widened his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and said through gritted teeth: "This Jia Zhang is simply a bandit!"

However, despite his heart full of anger, Chen Feng felt a deep helplessness.

He knew that all the members of the Jia family had been taken away by the armed forces, even the children were no exception, which made his wish to settle accounts with the Jia family impossible to achieve.

He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It's really abominable. Now I can't even find anyone to trouble them."

Chen Feng thought, why not just go and smash the Jia family? But when he walked to the door of the Jia family, he found a seal from the armed forces on the door.

He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't have the courage to tear off the seal and go in to smash the house. After all, this was the decision of the armed forces, and he didn't want to cause himself unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Chen Feng could only turn around and leave the Jia family's door with a heart full of resentment and helplessness. His steps seemed a little heavy, but the anger in his heart was still burning.

He knew that the Jia family was in a miserable situation today, but the anger in his heart made it impossible for him to easily let go of the fact that Jia Zhang had entered his house and stolen things.

After returning to the kitchen, Chen Feng angrily picked up the things that Jia Zhang had messed up one by one.

He threw all the food back into the space. These food were originally enough for his family to use for a few days, but now they were all wasted.

These ingredients, like the ones just now, were thrown into the space by Chen Feng to feed the animals in the space.

As for the kitchen utensils that were messed up by Jia Zhang, Chen Feng felt very disgusted when he saw them, so he didn't plan to continue using them.

He planned to find a junk collector tomorrow and sell the damaged kitchen utensils to him, which would also help him reduce his losses.

Finally, Chen Feng took out a set of brand new kitchen utensils and fresh ingredients from the space. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then started to cook dinner.

Although he was still a little unhappy, Chen Feng knew that he had to live on. Jin Ling and the children might be hungry now, and if he didn't cook, he was worried that they would starve.

So he quickly started to make dinner. However, since he had thrown all the steamed buns yesterday into the space to feed the pigs, he could only eat pancakes tonight.

After dinner, Jin Ming went back to the next room to rest. Seeing the children beginning to doze off, Jin Ling took them upstairs to sleep, leaving Chen Feng alone in the main room to clean up the dishes.

After Chen Feng finished washing the dishes and turned off the lights in the main room, he also went upstairs, ready to have a good sleep and restore his energy.

After Chen Feng went upstairs, he saw that the two children had been put into bed by Jin Ling and were asleep.

Chen Feng gently approached the bedside, looking at their sleeping little faces, his heart filled with love and compassion. The children's faces were chubby and very cute, making people want to get close to them.

Chen Feng couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched their chubby little faces, feeling their warmth and softness. The children moved slightly in their sleep, but did not wake up.

Jin Ling saw that Chen Feng was still teasing them after he fell asleep, so she patted Chen Feng on the back gently and said to him angrily.

"The children are asleep, why are you still teasing them? If they wake up and start crying, I'll see what you'll do!"

There was a hint of blame in her voice, but more of it was concern and love.

Chen Feng was not angry at all for Jin Ling slapping him. Instead, he said with a smile, "I just saw that he was so cute when he was sleeping that I couldn't help myself."

His eyes revealed his deep love for children.

Jin Ling rolled her eyes at Chen Feng, and then said, "Just do it, I'm telling you! If you wake the child up later, just comfort him! Don't expect me to comfort the child!"

There was a hint of threat in her tone, but it was mostly joking.

Chen Feng listened to Jin Ling's somewhat resentful words and just smiled without saying anything else. He knew that Jin Ling was trying to scare him, and at the same time, she was also reminding him not to disturb the children's sleep.

So Chen Feng stopped teasing the child and started to take off his clothes and lay down on the bed. When Jin Ling saw Chen Feng lying down, she also took off her coat and lay down on the other side of the child.

When Chen Feng saw Jin Ling lying down, he turned off the light and the room fell into darkness.

Chen Feng kept his eyes open in the darkness, but couldn't fall asleep. He kept thinking about what happened today.

After thinking about everything that happened today in his mind again, Chen Feng suddenly asked Jin Ling softly, "Jin Ling, what do you think about us going to the south to look for Lou Xiaoe?"

Jin Ling beside her was also unable to fall asleep. It was obvious that what happened today made it difficult for her to fall asleep.

When Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, she was also stunned, and then paused for a moment before she said, "Go find Lou Xiao'e? How do we go? We don't have a way to get there."

"And how can we go with two children? Even if there is a way, what about husband, Grandpa Huang and the others?"

"They treat you like their own grandson. What will they do after we leave?"

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng in the darkness also fell into deep thought.

What Jin Ling said made sense. Although I could put it into the space after Jin Ling and the others fell asleep, and then go south alone.

But what about Old Man Huang and the others? Chen Feng estimated that they would definitely not be willing to leave the land they had fought for all their lives.

Should I just abandon them and run away? But I would feel guilty about that.

It would take at least twenty years for me to come back after I left. However, it was obvious that Old Man Huang and the others were not in good health and could not sustain for another twenty years.

If I really come back in twenty years, and what I see are their lonely graves, won't I feel guilty to death?

After thinking this through, Chen Feng had an idea in mind, so he said to Jin Ling, "I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously!"

"Okay, let's go to bed! You've been tired all day!"

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng's words, she just said "Oh", and then the room fell silent again.
