Siheyuan: I just want to live

The next morning, after getting up, Chen Feng found that the sky outside was a little gloomy, as if it was splashed with a layer of gray paint. It was gloomy and looked like it was going to rain.

When Chen Feng saw this situation, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. His brows were tightly furrowed, and a feeling of worry immediately surged in his heart.

He thought of the wheat that was about to be harvested on the farm. If it rained at this time, this year's wheat yield would definitely be affected, and might even be significantly reduced.

So Chen Feng didn't bother to make breakfast, and hurried to the bedside, gently shaking his wife Jin Ling who was still sleeping. After being woken up, Jin Ling looked at Chen Feng with sleepy eyes, mumbling to herself what happened.

Chen Feng said anxiously: "Jin Ling, the weather is a little strange today. I have to go to the farm quickly."

Then he added: "I won't make breakfast today, you can eat outside with the children later!"

After that, Chen Feng began to look for a raincoat and an umbrella in a hurry. He searched through boxes and cabinets, making the whole room a mess, but still couldn't find what he wanted.

At this time, Jin Ling, who was woken up by Chen Feng, slowly came to consciousness. She rubbed her eyes, looked at her husband who was looking for something in the house, and said distressedly: "Don't worry, take your time. If you can't find it, forget it. You can buy it again on the street."

Chen Feng calmed down a little after hearing his wife's words, but he still insisted on continuing to search. Finally, he found a raincoat and an umbrella in the corner of the closet.

He walked to the living room with a raincoat and an umbrella and said to Jin Ling, "I found the raincoat and umbrella. I'm leaving first."

Jin Ling looked at her husband's hurriedly leaving back and couldn't help but remind him: "Okay, honey, I got it. Ride your bike slowly when you go to work!"

Chen Feng looked back at Jin Ling and replied gently, "I know, wife!"

Then he turned around and walked out of the house, taking his raincoat and umbrella with him.

After running to the aisle, Chen Feng hurriedly pushed the bicycle out of the yard, immediately got on it, and started rushing towards the farm.

When Chen Feng came riding his bicycle like the wind, he was surprised to find that Secretary Cheng of the farm had already arrived at the farm.

What was even more unexpected was that other key leaders of the farm also arrived early.

At this moment, they are following the instructions of Secretary Cheng and leading the workers living in the farm dormitories to carefully inspect and repair the drainage facilities in the farmland, while also organizing people to dig flood control channels.

Seeing this scene, Chen Feng quickly parked his bicycle aside and trotted to Secretary Cheng.

Then he asked breathlessly, "Secretary Cheng, I'm here! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at Chen Feng running towards him from a distance, Secretary Cheng smiled: "Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to come so early today!"

Hearing this, Chen Feng quickly adjusted his breathing and said, "When I woke up this morning, I found that the weather was not right, so I immediately rode my bike to the farm! I thought I was fast enough, but I was the last one to arrive." He shook his head helplessly, seeming a little dissatisfied with his speed.

After hearing his explanation, Secretary Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Chen, actually you're not too late. I just got here not long ago too." He patted Chen Feng on the shoulder to express his understanding and comfort.

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile: "That's good, I was worried that I would be late. But this time I was really screwed by this damn weather."

He looked at the sky and complained about the trouble the weather had brought him.

Hearing Chen Feng's complaint, Secretary Cheng smiled slightly, and then spoke in a gentle tone.

"The weather is so unpredictable at this time of year. If you have never worked on a farm before, it is inevitable that you will not be able to adapt. You will get used to it over time!"

After listening to Secretary Cheng's words, Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully and responded, "Oh, so that's how it is. I understand now."

Seeing that Chen Feng seemed to accept his explanation, Secretary Cheng continued.

"Someone has already gone over to the farmland, so we don't need your help for now. How about this, you stay here with me and see how I direct the dispatch."

After hearing this, Chen Feng nodded and said, "Okay, Secretary Cheng, everything is up to you."

Seeing that Chen Feng was so well-behaved and obedient, Secretary Cheng smiled with satisfaction. He said no more and continued to direct the other staff who had just arrived at the farm in an orderly manner.

Chen Feng stood behind Secretary Cheng very attentively, quietly observing how he efficiently deployed various personnel and equipment.

Time flies. Under the command and dispatch of Secretary Cheng, various flood control and drainage facilities on the farm, such as drainage ditches and water-saving gates, have been repaired.

These facilities will ensure that farms can effectively resist flooding and protect the safety of crops during the upcoming heavy rains.

Secretary Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the returning personnel reported that everything went well. He was extremely relieved to know that his efforts had paid off.

As people returned to the farm one after another, Secretary Cheng looked at them with a smile. He said to the farm employees, "I have asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast. It should be almost ready now. Let's go to the canteen to have breakfast together!"

Upon hearing these words, the farm workers who had been busy all morning immediately burst into deafening cheers.

They all expressed their gratitude and thanked Secretary Cheng for preparing breakfast for them.

After hearing the cheers, Secretary Cheng didn't say much, just smiled slightly, and then led everyone to the farm cafeteria.

Along the way, he had cordial conversations with the employees, asking them about their work status and whether there was anything they had missed.

Chen Feng, who had rushed to the farm early in the morning, had not had breakfast yet. So at this moment, he followed the others and walked towards the cafeteria.

After entering the cafeteria, Chen Feng found it crowded and very lively. He walked to the food window and looked inside to see what breakfast was available today.

Soon, he saw the steamed buns made of two-grain flour and cornmeal paste on display in the window. The only two choices for dishes were pickled radish strips and soybean paste.

Chen Feng thought to himself: "These are all coarse grains!" However, Chen Feng had no choice and ordered three steamed buns made of two grams of flour and held them in his hands.

Chen Feng walked to the enamel jar containing soybean paste, broke the steamed bun into two halves, then picked up some soybean paste with chopsticks and spread it on the bun.

Then, he took a big bite of the bun and chewed it slowly, feeling the strong salty taste of the soybean paste mixed with a little bit of spiciness.

Chen Feng nodded slightly and thought, this soybean paste is pretty good.

Just like that, Chen Feng ate the steamed bun while getting up and walking towards the office. When he arrived at the office, he had already finished eating all three steamed buns in his hand.

Maybe the soybean paste was too salty, Chen Feng felt extremely thirsty, so he poured himself a glass of warm water and drank it all in one breath.

Afterwards, Chen Feng put down his cup, sat on his office chair, and took a short break. Then, he picked up the document that Secretary Cheng had given him yesterday and read it carefully.

Chen Feng knew that these documents were very important to him, because only by understanding the policies and regulations in the documents could he do his job better.

Therefore, he must take every detail seriously and make sure he can grasp the key points.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was almost noon. Chen Feng glanced at the wall clock and saw that the hour hand pointed to 12 o'clock. It was time to eat.

He stood up, picked up the lunch box on the table, left the office and walked towards the cafeteria.

When I walked outside, the sky became increasingly gloomy, as if a heavy rain was about to come, but at this moment not a drop of rain fell.

Chen Feng couldn't help but frown and looked up at the sky, his heart full of worry. He knew very well that such weather was not a good sign for the farm.

However, he could only shake his head helplessly and continue moving towards the cafeteria.

Chen Feng knew that he couldn't predict when the rain would fall, but judging from the current situation in the sky, the rain would probably be heavy.

Once it rains, the wheat on the farm may face various problems, such as lodging, reduced yield, etc. Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt more and more depressed.

Despite this, Chen Feng also understood that no matter how anxious he was, it would be of no avail.

We can only hope that the various flood control and drainage measures prepared this morning will be effective. After all, they have done their best, and the rest is up to God!

After lunch, Chen Feng took a short rest and then returned to his office to continue processing the unfinished documents.

He read every page attentively, his eyes following the words and his brain working rapidly, as if he was in another world.

It was not until a loud thunderclap suddenly came from the sky, deafening, as if the sky was angry, that Chen Feng was brought back to reality from his serious reading of the documents.

Coming back to his senses, Chen Feng immediately put down the documents in his hand, frowned slightly, and looked up at the window. He muttered to himself: "This rain comes at a really bad time!"

He stood up quickly, walked quickly to the window and looked out.

At this time, bean-sized raindrops began to fall from the sky, like crystal clear pearls, falling down one after another.

The raindrops hit the window violently, making crisp and loud snapping sounds, as if they were playing a concert of nature.

Chen Feng stood in front of the window, watching the rain outside getting heavier, and his mood became heavier.

He is well aware of the impact such heavy rains can have on farms, especially those in low-lying areas with poor drainage systems.

Thinking of this, he decided to take action immediately. So Chen Feng turned around, put on his raincoat, picked up an umbrella, and hurriedly left the office.

Soon, Chen Feng arrived at the junction of the farm office area and the farmland. Then he stood there, looking worriedly at the wheat in the farmland that was about to be harvested.
