Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng received Jin Ming's diploma, he was relieved. He didn't want to waste time in school anymore. So he said goodbye to the principal and left the campus on his bicycle.

When he passed the guard room, he suddenly remembered something and smiled. He stopped, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to the security guard sitting there.

"Uncle, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

The security guard took the cigarette and grinned: "Young man, are you leaving now? Have you finished your business?"

Chen Feng chuckled and scratched his head: "Master, the work is done, and I am indeed going back."

The security guard laughed and said, "I know. Here, this is your work permit."

Chen Feng nodded with a smile, took the work permit, and then said to the security guard, "I'm leaving now. See you later!"

After getting his work permit back, Chen Feng rode his bicycle in a particularly good mood. He hummed a little tune while riding leisurely.

Well! Of course, Chen Feng didn't stop to give the security guard a cigarette just to get his work permit back. It was simply because Chen Feng felt that the security guard was too tired to look after the school, so he stopped to give the cigarette.

Yes! That's the reason! Chen Feng himself has been at the gate, so he can understand the hard work of the security guard!

After hypnotizing himself like this, Chen Feng happily rode his bicycle and left the alley where the school was located.

Along the way, he felt the cool breeze on his cheeks and admired the familiar street scenes around him. Although there were many unsatisfactory things in life, he felt extremely relaxed and comfortable at this moment.

Finally, Chen Feng returned to the courtyard. He parked his bicycle, walked into the courtyard, and looked at the familiar environment, feeling relaxed and happy.

So Chen Feng pushed his bicycle and quickened his pace to rush home.

After returning to the backyard and arriving at the door of his house, Chen Feng did not rush to open the door and push the bicycle into the house. Instead, he parked it at the door and turned to walk towards Jin Ming's residence.

When he reached the door of Jin Ming's house, he stopped, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and shouted loudly into the house: "Jin Ming, open the door quickly, I'm back, and I have something to tell you."

Hearing Chen Feng's voice, Jin Ming, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, immediately stood up from the chair, ran to the door quickly, and quickly opened the door.

As soon as he saw Chen Feng, Jin Ming showed an anxious look on his face, and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother-in-law, is there any news? Is there any solution to my academic problem?"

Chen Feng looked at Jin Ming's anxious expression and knew that he was very eager to continue his education.

However, despite this, he still slowly said to Jin Ming: "Jin Ming, don't worry, let's go into the house first, I will tell you the details."

When Jin Ming heard Chen Feng's words, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He realized that he was too anxious and a little out of control.

So he said quickly: "Brother-in-law, look at me, I am really confused. I haven't even had time to invite you tonight and I'm anxious to ask you! Come on, let's go into the house and talk!"

As he spoke, Jin Ming enthusiastically supported Chen Feng's forearm and helped Chen Feng into the house in a flattering manner.

Chen Feng looked at Jin Ming's movements and smiled helplessly, knowing that Jin Ming attached great importance to school. So Chen Feng followed Jin Ming's strength and walked into the house.

After entering the house, Jin Ming carefully helped Chen Feng sit down at the eight-immortals table and began to busily pour tea for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng quietly observed Jin Ming's actions and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Jin Ming's desire to go to school was really touching.

Thinking of his past life, Chen Feng felt very ashamed. At that time, he often skipped school, and being able to go to class was considered giving face to the teacher.

If it weren't for the country's nine-year compulsory education policy, he even doubted whether he could complete the third year of junior high school.

The reason why he was willing to go to school at that time was because his father always urged him with a stick behind him, which allowed him to complete his basic studies.

After Jin Ming poured the tea for Chen Feng, he looked at Chen Feng expectantly and asked softly, "Brother-in-law, is there any improvement in my school life?"

Chen Feng did not answer him immediately, but gently picked up the teacup on the table and slowly took a sip of tea.

Then, Chen Feng put down the cup, looked at Jin Ming with a smile, and said calmly: "Jin Ming, I went to your school today and had an in-depth exchange with your principal."

When Jin Ming heard this, he suddenly felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. His eyes sparkled and he couldn't wait to ask, "Then what? Brother-in-law, has our principal agreed to let me continue to study in school?"

Chen Feng waved his hand gently, with a faint smile on his face, signaling Jin Ming to be patient. He said gently but firmly: "Jin Ming, don't be impatient, let me finish what I want to say."

Jin Ming realized that his emotions were a little out of control, so he quickly closed his mouth and nodded vigorously to indicate that he would remain quiet.

Seeing this, Chen Feng's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he continued: "Jin Ming, don't be anxious, listen to me and tell you slowly."

Jin Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement. He responded obediently: "Brother-in-law, go ahead and talk. I promise not to interrupt you again."

Seeing Jin Ming say this, Chen Feng continued, "Today I talked to your principal about your situation. Although your principal also wants to keep you in school to continue studying."

He paused, looked into Jin Ming's eyes, and then continued, "However, the decision to expel you was made by the school's Revolutionary Committee, and your principal is powerless to do anything about it."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Jin Ming's expression immediately became very excited and he stood up, his eyes widened and his lips trembling slightly.

He seemed to want to say something to Chen Feng immediately, but when he thought of what Chen Feng had just said, he finally held back and did not speak.

However, his eyes were full of confusion and doubt, as if he was shocked by the news.

After seeing Chen Feng's eyes, Jin Ming sat down again, quietly waiting for Chen Feng to continue. At this time, his face had regained its calm, but his eyes still revealed a nervous and flustered look, and he was very uneasy.

Chen Feng took a deep breath and continued to speak to Jin Ming again: "However, after my efforts, your principal finally decided not to expel you from the school, but to let you graduate early."

His voice was steady and firm, making people feel his determination and hard work.

After saying these words, Chen Feng stopped talking and picked up the water cup, drinking water while observing Jin Ming's expression.

His eyes were always on Jin Ming, trying to understand his true thoughts from his expression and reaction. At this moment, the room was quiet, with only slight breathing sounds and the slurping sound of Chen Feng drinking water.

After waiting for a long time, Jin Ming lowered his head and said with frustration: "Brother-in-law, I can't go to school now. What can I do even if I have a diploma?"

Hearing Jin Ming's words, Chen Feng was so angry that he almost couldn't help but hit him hard on the head. This guy must have been stupid from reading so much that he couldn't even understand such a simple truth.

Chen Feng looked at his dejected and listless appearance, and for a moment he resisted the urge to take action. But looking at him like this, if he didn't explain it to him clearly, he might not be able to understand the reason.

So Chen Feng patiently explained: "How can a diploma be useless? It is very useful!"

"First of all, if you don't have this junior high school diploma, then when you fill in your education background when looking for a job, you can only write that you graduated from elementary school. In this way, you will face greater competition pressure and restrictions in terms of academic qualifications."

"Secondly, even if you choose to work in some technical jobs, having a higher degree will bring you more opportunities and advantages."

"Finally, a diploma is also a part of your life experience. It bears witness to your efforts and hard work. So, a diploma is still very important."

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Jin Ming realized the importance of having a junior high school graduate.

At this moment, Jin Ming heard Chen Feng say again, "If you don't have a diploma, how can I find a high school for you to go to directly?"

When Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, she looked up in astonishment, and then asked Chen Feng in surprise, "Brother-in-law, what did you say? You want to find a high school for me to go to?"

When Chen Feng heard Jin Ming's surprised words, he said calmly, "Yes! I will find you a high school student."

"Anyway, you already have your diploma now, which means you've graduated from junior high school, so you can go to high school."

Seeing Chen Feng say this, Jin Ming still couldn't believe it and said, "But brother-in-law, my school doesn't want me now, so will the high school want me?"

Seeing him ask this, Chen Feng said nonchalantly, "Whether you want it or not, we'll talk about it later! If you don't want a public high school, don't you still have a private one? There are so many schools in the city, there will definitely be one that can accept you."

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng's words, she still didn't believe it and asked, "Brother-in-law, will this work?"

Chen Feng looked at him with heavy eyes and said confidently, "Okay! Why not! You don't have to worry about this, let me handle it!"

After saying this, Chen Feng reminded Jin Ming, "Although you already have a diploma, you are only in the second year of junior high school. You haven't started the third year of junior high school yet, and you haven't studied the third year of junior high school courses."

"If I go to high school in the future, it's inevitable that I won't be able to keep up with the learning progress of other students."

"So, during this period of time, you should go to the library and look at the textbooks for the third grade of junior high school, so as not to fall too far behind other students when you go to school in the future."

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ming thought about it and it made sense, so he said, "Okay, brother-in-law, I got it! I'll go to the library!"

Seeing Jin Ming's answer, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction, then took Jin Ming's graduation certificate from his schoolbag and put it on the table, then said to Jin Ming.

"Here is your diploma, keep it, I won't bother you any more!"

Then, Chen Feng got up and left Jin Ming's room.
