Siheyuan: I just want to live

After leaving the backyard, Chen Feng quickly shuttled through the middle yard. His footsteps were as light as a cat, without making any sound.

The neighbors in the Central Courtyard were all sticking to their own earthquake shelters and did not pay any attention to Chen Feng.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Chen Feng's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He quickly scanned every house and accurately found the locations of those important support points.

Then, Chen Feng immediately moved around and used his spatial ability to take out most of the bricks at these supporting points one by one.

As bricks were taken out one by one, the structure of the house became increasingly fragile. It would definitely not be able to withstand such a severe blow even from a minor aftershock.

After Chen Feng had "modified" the houses in the middle courtyard, he rushed to the front yard without hesitation or delay.

Just as he stepped into the front yard, a lively scene suddenly came into view.

I saw a group of neighbors in the front yard surrounding Yan Fugui, constantly saying all kinds of flattering and praising words.

They all praised Yan Fugui for his foresight and for leading everyone in the courtyard to build this extremely sturdy earthquake shelter early on, thus successfully preventing everyone from getting soaked by the heavy rain just now.

At this moment, Yan Fugui held the precious TV steadily with one hand, and the other hand rested leisurely on his knee.

Faced with the flood of praise from his neighbors, his originally thin face suddenly revealed an unconcealable look of pride, and he was completely immersed in the joyful atmosphere of being sought after.

When Chen Feng witnessed this scene with his own eyes, a strong sense of alertness suddenly surged in his heart: it is absolutely impossible for him to pry those bricks without being noticed like the people in the Central Courtyard!

After a very brief but thoughtful thought, a brilliant idea flashed through Chen Feng's mind like lightning.

At this time, Chen Feng's seemingly careless movements could be clearly seen. He pretended to be curious and looked at the earthquake shelters built by Yan Fugui himself with interest;

On the other hand, he moved slowly and cautiously along the house.

However, Chen Feng's seemingly abnormal behavior quickly attracted the attention of many neighbors in the front yard like a magnet.

They all widened their eyes and focused their gazes with suspicion on Chen Feng, whose behavior was a bit strange.

Facing strange looks from all directions, Chen Feng remained calm, as if he was completely oblivious to the attention of people around him.

Chen Feng continued to do his own thing and moved forward slowly according to his established plan.

It was not until Yan Fugui racked his brains and thought hard but still couldn't figure out what Chen Feng was doing here that he finally couldn't suppress his curiosity.

So Yan Fugui asked Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, what are you looking at?"

At this moment, Chen Feng, who had been busy with his work and looked up, heard Yan Fugui's words and slowly stopped his hurried steps.

He first turned his head casually, glanced at Yan Fugui out of the corner of his eye, and then responded calmly and nonchalantly.

"Oh! I didn't see anything. I just thought the earthquake shelter you built was quite interesting, so I couldn't help but get closer to take a closer look and learn how it was built."

When Yan Fugui heard that Chen Feng actually praised the earthquake shelter that he had commanded to build, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from his small eyes, which had been narrowed into slits.

Then, a smug look appeared on his face, as if he had received great praise, and he couldn't wait to ask Chen Feng again.

"Hey, Chen Feng, you also think that this earthquake shelter we built is good? Then tell me quickly, what are the specific advantages of it?"

When Chen Feng heard what Yan Fugui said, he immediately felt an urge to roll his eyes so strong that he could hardly suppress it.

Look at this so-called earthquake shelter built under the command of Yan Fugui. It didn’t collapse directly under the fierce rainstorm just now. It was all thanks to Yan Fugui’s good luck. How could we expect it to be any better?

At this moment, Chen Feng was asked to explain the benefits of this earthquake shelter. This really stumped Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng only paused for a moment, then his mind suddenly changed, and he responded to Yan Fugui without hesitation.

"Oh, Mr. Yan, if you insist on asking me to tell you exactly what is good about this earthquake shelter, I really can't explain it clearly right now!"

At this point, Chen Feng paused deliberately before continuing: "But, when I was strolling around the yard just now."

"But after careful observation, among the many houses in the courtyard, the earthquake shelters built by you and Liu Haizhong are the most outstanding!"

As Chen Feng spoke, he secretly watched the changes in Yan Fugui's facial expressions. Seeing that he seemed to reveal a hint of pride, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but on the surface he continued to praise him calmly.

"Especially the earthquake shelter you built here, it's much stronger than the one Liu Haizhong built!"

When Chen Feng had just finished speaking and Yan Fugui had not yet expressed his opinion, Yan Jiecheng, who was standing beside him, couldn't wait to interrupt and said, "Hey, Chen Feng, I really agree with every word you said!"

Yan Jiecheng was all smiles, his eyes sparkling with pride, and he continued to praise: "This earthquake shelter built by my father himself is definitely the best in the hospital!"

"Think about it, what kind of person is my father? He is a well-known and highly respected cultural figure in Nanluoguxiang!"

"How could an earthquake shelter built under the careful guidance of such a cultured person be bad?"

At this time, after hearing Yan Jiecheng's impassioned speech, the other neighbors in the yard also echoed him. They nodded in agreement and talked about it in a flurry.

"That's right, Jie Cheng is absolutely right! With Teacher Yan in charge, it will be hard for this earthquake shelter to fail!"

Seeing that everyone was giving him face, Yan Jiecheng became more and more excited. He cleared his throat and spoke loudly again.

"In my opinion, our earthquake shelter is not only outstanding in this courtyard! Even if you look at the entire Nanluoguxiang, it is one of the best!"

"Although, I haven't had the chance to see what the earthquake shelter that Liu Haizhong's family has built looks like."

"But even without seeing it with my own eyes, I know it clearly in my heart - his is definitely not as good as the one my father personally directed to build!"

After hearing what his son said, Yan Fugui was so happy in his heart that no matter how he pretended to be calm, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Yan Fugui had a smug smile on his wrinkled face. He waved his hands gently and said in a falsely modest tone, "Oh, Jie Cheng, you guys are exaggerating!"

With a twinkling light in his narrowed eyes, he continued, "Although the construction of the earthquake shelter was indeed completed under my wise and powerful command.

"And you guys all did a good job, building this earthquake shelter in a very good manner. But we can't underestimate Liu Haizhong just because of this!"

At this point, Yan Fugui paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and continued, "No matter what, Liu Haizhong is the master craftsman of our steel rolling mill, with decades of exquisite craftsmanship!"

"With his skills, it's just an earthquake shelter, how bad can it be?"

Chen Feng, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart when listening to Yan Fugui's words. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Yan Fugui is really shameless. He actually believed Yan Jiecheng's false praise?

Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The father and son of the Yan family are really a perfect match. One dares to talk nonsense like this, and the other dares to accept it all.

When Yan Jiecheng heard what Yan Fugui said, his already disdainful expression revealed a deep contempt.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a hint of sarcasm: "Dad, you really think too highly of that guy in Liu Haizhong!"

"Let alone anything else, just considering his education level of only graduating from elementary school, how could he possibly deserve to be called a master chef?"

"In my opinion, his so-called senior section chief title was obtained entirely because of his fat body!"

Having said this, Yan Jiecheng seemed to be getting more and more excited. He straightened up, put his hands on his hips, and continued shouting loudly.

"Think about it, if I had a bloated and fat body like him, and then worked hard in a steel mill to swing a big hammer for two years, wouldn't I be able to become a senior section worker in the factory like him? Humph, I think there is absolutely no problem with this!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Jiecheng paused for a moment, as if to give everyone time to think and react, and then he raised his voice again to emphasize.

"Actually, what we call a section worker is just someone who keeps hammering away all day. As long as you keep doing it for a few years, anyone can be promoted to a senior worker!"

Just as Yan Jiefang was saying these words, Liu Hai, who was supposed to be in the backyard, suddenly came to the front yard for some reason.

What was even more coincidental was that Liu Haizhong heard every word Yan Jiefang said just now that belittled him and his work.

For a moment, Liu Haizhong's face turned red with anger after hearing Yan Jiefang's words.
