Siheyuan: I just want to live

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, and Chen Feng was still immersed in his dreams. It was not until after eight o'clock that he slowly woke up, stretched his body, and felt comfortable all over.

However, even though Jin Ling did not need to go to the scrap yard to work today, her biological clock was still on time and she woke up at around seven in the morning.

The two little ones seemed to have inherited their mother's habit of getting up early, opening their eyes early and starting to play on the bed. Jin Ling looked at the innocent and lovely appearance of the children, her heart was filled with maternal love, so she quickly helped them put on their clothes and took them downstairs.

When they got downstairs, Jin Ling gently knocked on the door next door and woke up Jin Ming who was sleeping. Jin Ming rubbed his sleepy eyes and climbed out of bed reluctantly. Jin Ling handed the two children to Jin Ming to take care of and asked him to help watch them.

In fact, Jin Ling originally planned to wake up Chen Feng to see the child, but when she saw her husband sleeping so soundly, a wave of tenderness surged in her heart, and she really couldn't bear to disturb him.

After all, Chen Feng was busy with business and family every day and rarely had a chance to rest. So she chose to let Chen Feng continue to sleep and gave the task of taking care of the child to her younger brother Jin Ming.

Jin Ling turned and walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family. She skillfully fried eggs and made sweet potato porridge. Jin Ling's movements were neat and orderly. Soon, the tempting aroma spread, making people salivate.

Meanwhile, Jin Ming yawned as he played with the two children, teasing them and making them laugh.

Although still a little sleepy, Jin Ming's love for the children made him willing to make the effort.

When Chen Feng walked downstairs in a daze, Jin Ling had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Chen Feng already up, she smiled and said, "Honey, you're up! I've also prepared breakfast. Hurry up and wash up, and then come and have breakfast!"

Hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng was still half asleep, but he replied subconsciously: "Okay, I know, wife, I'll go now!"

After saying that, he walked towards the bathroom at the bottom of the stairs.

Jin Ling looked at Chen Feng's departing back, with a happy smile on her face. She turned around and walked into the kitchen, brought out the last bowl of sweet potato porridge, and placed it on the dining table.

Then she walked out of the main room to wake up Jin Ming and the children and asked them to come and have breakfast together.

The sunlight shines into the house through the window, bringing warmth and brightness to the whole room.

At this time, Chen Feng was washing up quickly in the bathroom, trying to wake himself up. He scrubbed his face vigorously, and the stimulation of the cold water gradually woke him up from his sleepiness.

Chen Feng, who had become a little more sober, immediately began to wash up. He had other things to do today and couldn't delay too long.

When Chen Feng walked out of the bathroom, Jin Ming and the children were already enjoying breakfast at the eight-immortals table.

Chen Feng didn't say much about this, because their family didn't have too many formalities. Unlike some families, they had to wait until everyone was present before they could start eating.

Chen Feng saw the seat reserved for him at the table, sat down without hesitation, and then began to eat heartily.

When they were almost done with breakfast, Chen Feng suddenly said to Jin Ming, "Jin Ming! Your sister and I have something to go out for later, so I'll ask you to help look after Xixi and Xingxing."

When Jin Ming heard what Chen Feng said, he answered without hesitation: "Okay, brother-in-law, you can go out and handle the affairs without worry! I will take good care of my two nephews at home!"

After hearing Jin Ming's words, Chen Feng nodded and didn't say anything more, because Chen Feng knew that since Jin Ming agreed, she would definitely take good care of the child.

After breakfast, Jin Ming took the two children to his room to play, Jin Ling took the dishes to the kitchen to wash, and Chen Feng began to prepare the materials needed for joining the steel plant today.

Chen Feng carefully sorted out each document to ensure that no important information was missed. He put his ID card, household registration booklet, graduation certificate and other relevant documents into his schoolbag one by one and checked them once to ensure that everything was in place.

After completing these preparations, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction and went downstairs with his schoolbag.

When Chen Feng went downstairs, Jin Ling had already washed the dishes. Chen Feng smiled and said to Jin Ling: "Jin Ling, it's getting late, so let's go?"

Jin Ling nodded and responded, "Okay! Let's go now!"

Chen Feng walked to the wall and gently pushed the bicycle out. Seeing this, Jin Ling also quickly pushed her bicycle out the door.

Chen Feng saw that Jin Ling was ready, so he turned around to lock the door. He locked the door carefully, and then pushed the bicycle out with Jin Ling.

The sunlight shines on them, reflecting their hopeful figures.

Unexpectedly, before they could even leave the backyard, they ran into Hou Debang who was walking towards the yard.

When Hou Debang saw Chen Feng and his wife pushing the bicycle, he was stunned at first, and then he immediately said to Chen Feng:

"Brother Chen, didn't I tell you the day before yesterday that I would come to pick you up? Why are you still planning to report by bicycle?"

After saying that, Hou Debang hurried forward, took the bicycle handle from Chen Feng, and said to him with a smile:

"Push the bikes back quickly and come with me. The car is waiting outside the gate. We will take the car to report today."

Hearing Hou Debang's words, Chen Feng knew that he meant well, so he just smiled and said, "I'm not just thinking about it, I'm just reporting. It's not far anyway. Jin Ling and I will be there in a short while by riding our bicycles. Why should I bother you, Brother Hou, to pick me up?"

When Hou Debang heard Chen Feng say this, he immediately said with a smile, "What's the matter with bothering or not? Do we two brothers still need to talk about this?"

"Okay, let's stop chatting here. Push the bikes back quickly and take the bus to report."

When Chen Feng heard what Hou Debang said, he thought to himself: Since Hou Debang has already driven the car over, if I don't take the car, wouldn't it be a waste of his kindness? Besides, this can also save a lot of time.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng smiled and replied: "Since Brother Hou said so, I won't be polite. I will push the bicycle back into the house!"

After saying that, he prepared to take the bicycle from Hou Debang and push it back into the house.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Hou Debang smiled with relief. However, he did not return the bicycle to Chen Feng. Instead, he said loudly: "Hey! That's right! This is the right way! Come on, open the door quickly, and I'll help you push the bicycle in!"

Chen Feng heard this, walked to the door with a smile and opened it. Seeing this, Hou Debang and Jin Ling immediately pushed their bicycles into the house.

After they put their bicycles away, Chen Feng locked the door again, and then walked towards the gate of the courtyard with Hou Debang, chatting and laughing.

Along the way, the two chatted very happily, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

When he arrived at the gate, Chen Feng saw a jeep parked at the gate of the courtyard. There were many people around the jeep.

They were discussing whose car it was and why it was parked in front of their yard.

This included Yan Fugui, who did not go to work because he had no classes this morning, and He Daqing, who was about to go out for a walk.

After seeing the jeep, Hou Debang opened the door for Chen Feng and his wife and said, "Chen Feng, I brought Minister Liu's car from the steel plant's logistics department here to pick you up today!"

When Chen Feng heard what Hou Debang said, he thought to himself that Minister Liu should be from the same group as Hou Debang, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to drive the car out so easily.

Moreover, I entered the steel plant through Hou Debang's introduction, so I would be classified as one of their people.

However, Chen Feng was not very worried about this. He would be assigned to the farm when he entered the steel plant. The farm was far away from the power center of the steel plant. The struggle among the upper echelons should not affect the farm, right?

However, after hearing Hou Debang's words, Chen Feng hurriedly said: "I am really sorry to trouble you, Brother Hou. I have to ask you to borrow my car for such a small matter as my report." As he spoke, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

When Hou Debang heard what Chen Feng said, he waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a hearty laugh: "Hey! Brother Chen, you are wrong. We are all brothers, so what's the big deal?"

He patted Chen Feng on the shoulder to show that he didn't care.

"Okay, let's not delay any longer, you and your sister-in-law should get in the car!" Hou Debang greeted them warmly with a friendly smile on his face.

Seeing Hou Debang urging them, Chen Feng said nothing more and pulled Jin Ling into the car. After they sat down, Chen Feng did not forget to thank Hou Debang.

After Chen Feng got in the car, Hou Debang closed the door and sat in the passenger seat. He straightened his clothes and said to Chen Feng and Jin Ling with a smile.

"You two probably haven't ridden in a car before, right? To be honest, I haven't ridden in one many times either, so you should really experience it. After all, you don't know when you'll get to ride in one again!"

Actually! Chen Feng has never ridden in a jeep of this era. He has ridden in a large truck a few times, but he doesn't know what the difference is between this jeep and the freight truck at the steel mill? It should be more comfortable than a truck, right?

After saying that, he turned to the driver and said without waiting for Chen Feng to answer: "Xiao Li, drive, let's go back to the steel plant!"

After hearing what Hou Debang said, driver Xiao Li immediately said, "Okay, Director Hou, please sit tight, we're leaving now!"

His voice was loud and confident, obviously that of an experienced driver. From his voice, Chen Feng guessed that he must be a retired car soldier.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Li started the jeep skillfully. The car made a low roar and slowly left the gate of the courtyard.
