Siheyuan: I just want to live

When Chen Feng completely lost sight of Hou Debang's convoy, he slowly retracted his gaze, then gently turned around and walked towards the interior of the farm with steady steps.

Accountant Guan, who had been standing quietly beside Chen Feng, saw Chen Feng start to move, and quickly turned around and followed Chen Feng closely into the farm.

Chen Feng, who was walking in front, was originally moving forward slowly, but suddenly, he stopped abruptly as if he had thought of something important.

Then, Chen Feng turned his head nonchalantly and asked Accountant Guan who was following closely behind him: "Hey, Accountant Guan, how much food did Minister Hou and his men take away just now?"

Since Chen Feng stopped without warning, Accountant Guan almost bumped into him. Fortunately, Accountant Guan reacted quickly and stopped in time.

But before Accountant Guan could catch his breath, he heard the question raised by Chen Feng, which made Accountant Guan stunned.

Just a short while ago, Accountant Guan had clearly handed the grain delivery documents to Director Chen for review!

Could it be that Director Chen didn't pay attention to the specific number marked above at that time?

However, even though he thought so in his heart, Accountant Guan did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After all, the other party was his immediate superior.

So he quickly replied, "Director Chen, the grain that Minister Hou just took away is a total of 306 tons, all of which are wheat that was just put into storage this year."

After hearing the numbers reported by Accountant Guan, Chen Feng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he had understood the situation, but he seemed to be still thinking about something in his mind.

After a while, Chen Feng raised his head, looked at Accountant Guan with sharp eyes, and asked again.

"Accountant Guan, how much grain is left in our farm's granary? I want an accurate number."

Seeing Chen Feng's questioning, Accountant Guan did not respond to his question immediately.

On the contrary, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked Chen Feng cautiously: "Director, does the grain in the granary you mentioned include all kinds of stored grain? For example, the corn left over from last year..."

Hearing Accountant Guan ask this, Chen Feng nodded without hesitation and answered affirmatively.

"Yes, it includes the corn left over from last year! I need to know the overall situation of our farm's current food reserves."

After receiving a clear answer from Chen Feng, Accountant Guan took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and then began to report to Chen Feng in detail.

Guan smiled, and said with a hint of pride: "Director, since you took over the management of our farm, you have achieved remarkable results!"

"Especially in terms of grain variety improvement, you have always attached great importance to it and invested a lot of energy in it. Because of this, the quality of grain grown on our farm has been getting better and better in recent years, and the yield has also been rising year by year."

"Take this year for example, it was an absolute bumper year! The wheat yield per acre was as high as 800 kilograms!"

At this point, Accountant Guan paused for a moment and glanced at Chen Feng's reaction. He saw that Chen Feng was listening to him attentively.

Guan continued, "As for the specific amount of grain stored in the granary, there are currently about 3,700 tons of wheat."

"But by comparison, the amount of corn is less. After all, after a whole year of consumption, there are only about a thousand tons of corn left in the warehouse."

Listening to Accountant Guan praising him endlessly, Chen Feng's face did not show the slightest joy.

As for the matter of improving grain varieties, Chen Feng knew very well that his contribution was very limited!

You know, the ones who really made great contributions were the senior agricultural workers who were transferred from the farm.

As for Chen Feng, at most he would quietly take out some high-yield wheat from his mysterious space when no one was paying attention and provide it to these experts for research.

Apart from that, Chen Feng thought to himself that he had indeed not provided much substantial help.

After learning the specific amount of grain currently stored in the farm's granary, Chen Feng nodded slightly, then spoke to Accountant Guan with a serious expression.

"Accountant Guan, you must be fully prepared in advance! In my opinion, in the next day or two, the steel mill will probably send people to our farm to transport grain."

Hearing this, Accountant Guan couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Do you need to come back to get more food? But they have already taken so much food away!"

Normally, this batch of food should be enough for them to get through this difficult time, right?"

"Besides, after they get through these difficult days, the higher-ups will definitely allocate them a corresponding amount of food. Why do they have to come to our farm to get food?"

Hearing what Accountant Guan said, Chen Feng slowly shook his head and said solemnly: "Accountant Guan, look at the surroundings."

"It's not hard to imagine how serious this earthquake was. Houses collapsed, roads were damaged, and there was a mess everywhere."

As he spoke, he pointed around so that Accountant Guan could more intuitively feel the damage caused by the earthquake.

"And in my opinion, our city of Sijiu is probably not even the epicenter! If this is not the epicenter, then the disaster in the real epicenter is so terrible that it is hard to imagine."

Chen Feng frowned and continued his analysis in a heavy tone.

Having said this, he paused for a moment, as if he wanted to give Accountant Guan enough time to digest and think about what he had just said.

After a while, Chen Feng took a deep breath and continued, "If the disaster situation in the epicenter has reached an extremely serious level, the government will definitely do its best to mobilize a large amount of food to the disaster area to carry out rescue work."

"In this case, it is inevitable that some of our food will be taken away from Sijiu City. By then, even if the steel plant can successfully obtain the allocated food quota, the amount will surely be quite limited."

"Not only that, I have a strong feeling that once the steel mill knows the exact location of the earthquake."

"The factory leaders will certainly not sit idly by. They will most likely actively organize people to collect food and send it to the disaster-stricken areas to provide assistance."

When he said this, Chen Feng slowly spread his hands outward, and his originally calm face was now filled with helplessness.

Then he sighed deeply and said, "Alas, the disaster that this steel plant suffered this time is really serious! Even the food stored in their factory cafeteria was not spared. All of it was soaked by the fierce rainstorm!"

"Under such circumstances, where would they have any extra food to support the disaster areas?"

After a brief pause, Chen Feng shook his head again and continued, "So, in the end, we have to transfer food from our farm!"

After saying this, Chen Feng couldn't help but frown, his eyes full of worry.

"That's why I'm reminding you in advance so that we can make the corresponding preparations as soon as possible."

"We must reserve the food we will need for the next few months in advance!"

As Chen Feng spoke, he pointed to the earthquake shelter built on the open space at the farm gate and the farm workers and their families who were busy in it.

"Otherwise, if the steel mill takes away all the food, then the hard-working workers on our farm will starve!"

After listening to Chen Feng's reasonable analysis, Accountant Guan, who had been standing by and listening quietly, finally understood the huge seriousness hidden behind this matter.

So, his face straightened up, his expression became extremely serious, and he responded in a decisive manner: "Director, please rest assured! I have completely understood the interests involved."

"I know exactly what to do. I will go there right away to carefully calculate how much food I need to reserve."

"We will do our best to ensure that every employee on our farm can fill their stomachs and will never let anyone go hungry!"

Seeing Accountant Guan's vigorous attitude and resolute statement, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction, then waved at him and said.

"Well, then, there's no time to lose, you should go right away! Remember to treat this matter as a top priority and handle it as soon as possible! There must not be any delays or omissions!"

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Accountant Guan's face immediately showed respect, and he responded without hesitation: "Okay, Director! Don't worry, I'll do it right away!"

Before he finished his words, Accountant Guan turned around quickly and walked away from where Chen Feng was at the speed of wind.

His hurried steps seemed to be driven by an invisible force, and he disappeared from Chen Feng's sight in the blink of an eye.

Soon, Accountant Guan arrived at the temporary earthquake shelter.

Although this simple earthquake shelter looks inconspicuous from the outside, it is the place where farm leaders work during earthquakes.

Accountant Guan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then walked into the earthquake shelter. Once inside, he went straight to the corner where office supplies were placed and swiftly found a notebook and a pen.

After getting the items he needed, he didn't even take a break to sit down at a slightly worn table, opened his notebook, picked up a pen, and concentrated on the calculations.

At this time, Accountant Guan had a serious expression, his eyes fixed on the notebook in front of him, and the pen in his hand kept writing and drawing on the paper, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

He would check and confirm every number and every formula over and over again, for fear of the slightest mistake.

On the other side, Chen Feng felt relieved when he saw that Accountant Guan had already started to calculate. He did not go forward to disturb Accountant Guan's work, but stood quietly in place, slowly sweeping his eyes across the busy post-disaster scene in front of him.

Some people were busy moving supplies rescued from their homes during the earthquake, while others gathered together to discuss subsequent reconstruction plans... Everyone had a tired but determined look on their face.
