Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Li Guotao finished his call to Hou Debang, Chen Feng chatted with Li Guotao for a while. They talked about poetry and songs, philosophy of life, and everything in between.

Finally, Chen Feng saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and prepared to leave the scrap yard. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said goodbye to Li Guotao with a smile.

Li Guotao also responded enthusiastically: "Chen Feng! Come and visit us often when you have time!"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Webmaster, I will! I will come back to see you when I have time!"

After saying that, Chen Feng waved to Li Guotao, then turned and left the office.

After leaving the office, Chen Feng stopped and looked around the scrap yard. He thought of the days he had spent here, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

However, when he thought of the finance office, his face became serious. He knew very well that if he went to see Sun Xiaojuan now, it would only make the relationship between the two more complicated.

Although he knew that his decision was a bit cruel even he thought it was, he believed it was the best option for Sun Xiaojuan.

After all, in that era, their relationship could not be recognized by society. And in this era, it is even more impossible.

If they continue to entangle, it will not only hurt each other, but it may also bring more trouble to Sun Xiaojuan. She is a kind woman and should not be hurt more because of this relationship.

Chen Feng took a deep breath, pushed his bicycle resolutely, and left the scrapyard. He told himself to be firm in his belief and not hesitate any longer.

Only in this way can Sun Xiaojuan be protected and live a happy life. Although he was reluctant, he knew that he had to let go.

But what Chen Feng didn't notice was that when he left Li Guotao's office, there was a person in the finance office lying behind the crack of the door and staring at Chen Feng.

It was not until Chen Feng left the scrap yard and walked away that the figure sighed softly and disappeared from behind the door.

Chen Feng had no idea about this situation, but even if he knew, he would not turn around and go back into the finance office.

After Chen Feng returned to the courtyard, he pushed his bicycle into the house, put away his schoolbag, and then went upstairs.

When Jin Ling saw Chen Feng coming back, she asked in surprise, "Hubby, you're back so soon?"

Hearing Jin Ling's question, Chen Feng said with a smile, "I came back and went to the scrap yard to invite Uncle Li in person."

"I didn't go to Hou Debang in person. Instead, I called Uncle Li in his office and invited him over the phone!"

Hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling didn't say much. This time, when moving to a new house, whether to invite people or who to invite was not something Jin Ling cared about. She just left it to Chen Feng.

She now knows to be responsible for organizing everything so that she won't be too flustered when moving tomorrow.

Chen Feng saw Jin Ling busy sorting things, so he also started to help.

When the items were almost sorted, Chen Feng saw that it was time to prepare dinner, so he went downstairs to make dinner, leaving Jin Ling alone upstairs to continue sorting the remaining items.

After dinner, Chen Feng simply washed up and lay down on the bed, thinking about his future life.

He knew that everything would be different after moving to his new home. He would work on a farm, which was different from the scrapyard.

At the scrap station, Chen Feng had Li Guotao's protection, so he could not go to work without restraint. But after going to the farm, Chen Feng estimated that his future life would not be as carefree as at the scrap station.

But Chen Feng didn't care. Isn't it just work? Can it be as tiring as working on a construction site in the previous life?

After all, I am the deputy director. It is impossible for me to dig the ground every day, right?

As he was thinking, Chen Feng fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Chen Feng got up early and prepared breakfast.

After the family finished breakfast, Chen Feng said to Jin Ling, "Wife, wait for a while at home. I'll go to the street to call a few vendors over, and then we'll move!"

Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, nodded, and then said, "Okay, husband, go ahead!"

After hearing Jin Ling's response, Chen Feng turned around, put on his schoolbag, pushed his bicycle and walked out of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard gate, Chen Feng rode his bicycle around the street, looking for a transporter.

Finally, at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang, Chen Feng saw a group of banye waiting for work on the roadside.

Chen Feng rode his bicycle to the front of the group of people and asked, "Hey, man, do you want to help me?"

After hearing Chen Feng's words, a man in his forties among the group of bosses said to Chen Feng with a smile.

"Man, look at what you said! If we didn't have any work to do, we wouldn't be here so early in the morning!"

Seeing him say that, Chen Feng asked again, "How do you calculate the price?"

When the man heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately said, "As for the price, it depends on the distance. If the distance is far, it will be more expensive."

Chen Feng nodded after hearing his words. Although it was as if he hadn't said anything, it was also Chen Feng's fault for not asking clearly.

So Chen Feng asked again, "How much does it cost to get from here to Xisi Beiba Tiao Hutong?"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, the man immediately responded, "From here to Xisi Beiba Tiao Hutong, it costs fifty cents for one trip."

Chen Feng didn't care about the price he mentioned, but continued to say, "I'm moving, and I have a lot of stuff, including furniture and so on. I need you to install it yourself. Is that okay?"

Seeing that Chen Feng did not bargain, but talked about the problem of loading and unloading, the man quickly said, "Sure! Why not? Forget about loading, I can even help you unload it when you get there!"

Seeing the man say this, Chen Feng said, "Okay, I want ten carts. Please help me find people. I will give you their wages later."

When the man heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately smiled and said, "No problem, I'll help you find a car!"

After saying that, the man immediately called out to the board masters, "Liuzi, Shunliu, Dalei, Junzi..."

After he had gathered everyone, Chen Feng rode his bicycle and took them to the courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Chen Feng stopped his bicycle and said to the man, "Leave one of you to watch the bike at the gate, and the rest of you come with me into the courtyard."

When the man heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately shouted to the men on the board, "Shunliu, you stay!"

After Chen Feng saw that he had made all the arrangements, he took them to the backyard.

Along the way, the neighbors in the courtyard saw Chen Feng bringing so many people into the courtyard, and they were all men. Immediately, the aunties in the courtyard started talking.

"Hey, why did Chen Feng bring so many people to the hospital?"

"That's right. He brought so many people, and they were all men. What's the matter with Chen Feng?"

"Who knows? I don't know either."

Chen Feng turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the neighbors in the yard. He was going to move out soon anyway, so there was no need to explain anything to them.

When Chen Feng brought people to the backyard, he pointed to the house where he and Jin Ming lived and said, "This is it. This house and the one next door must all move!"

After saying that, Chen Feng led his men into his home first.

When Jin Ling saw Chen Feng coming back with his men, she immediately came up to him and said, "Hubby, you're back!"

When Chen Feng heard Jin Ling's words, he said with a smile, "Well, I'm back. Let's start moving now!"

Hearing this, Jin Ling nodded with a smile.

Then he and Chen Feng directed the workers to move the furniture and luggage out of the house one by one and load them onto the cart outside.

The children watched excitedly from the sidelines, and the whole scene was lively and warm.

Soon Chen Feng's house was emptied, leaving only the big bed upstairs.

At this time, the man walked up to Chen Feng and said, "Boss, the bed upstairs is too big, we can't move it down!"

"Besides, I think that bed must be very expensive, and we dare not dismantle it and move it. What do you think we should do, boss?"

Chen Feng nodded slightly when he heard his words. This man was right. The bed was not only very expensive but also very beautiful.

If it is not dismantled by a professional, it is inevitable that it will be damaged accidentally.

This group of board masters did not act on their own, but came over and talked to Chen Feng, which was undoubtedly a very correct approach.

So Chen Feng said, "You guys move to the next door first, I'll find someone to dismantle the bed."

When the man heard what Chen Feng said, he immediately said, "Okay, sir, I got it!"

After saying that, the man led people to move Jin Ming's room.

After they left, Chen Feng said to Jin Ling, "Wife, stay here for a while. I'll go find someone to dismantle the bed."

Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, nodded, and then said, "Hubby, go ahead, I'll take care of it!"

Seeing that Jin Ling agreed, Chen Feng did not delay any longer and pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Feng went to Master Lei's house.

Although Chen Feng himself did not know any good carpenters, Master Lei must know one, and it would definitely be the right thing to do if he went to him for help.

It didn't take long before Chen Feng led Master Lei back to the courtyard.

Chen Feng led Master Lei to the bedroom upstairs, and then said to Master Lei, "Master Lei, this is the bed, do you think it can be dismantled?"

Master Lei heard what Chen Feng said, walked around the bed, and then said, "Boss, this bed is easy to dismantle. Please stand aside and I will help you dismantle it!"

Hearing Master Lei's words, Chen Feng said politely, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Lei!"

Seeing Chen Feng say this, Master Lei quickly responded, "Boss, you are too polite!"

After that, before Chen Feng could say anything else, Master Lei said, "Boss, please stand aside. I will start now!"

As he spoke, Master Lei started taking tools out of his bag and prepared to dismantle the bed.

After seeing this scene, Chen Feng didn't say anything more, for fear that he would disturb Master Lei's work.

Seeing that he couldn't help much here, Chen Feng turned around and went downstairs.
