Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng left, Li Guotao processed a few more documents, and then Li Guotao also walked out of the office.

He stood at the door of the office, raised his wrist and checked the time on his watch. It was already past ten forty in the morning, and there was less than an hour left before the end of the get off work day.

Then Li Guotao lowered his arms, concentrated his energy, and shouted loudly, "Everyone listen! Gather at the office door now! A meeting is about to begin!"

Li Guotao's shout was loud and clear, no less than when he was gathering soldiers in the army!

Zhou Ping was usually given full notifications for meetings, and today was a special case. If Zhou Ping was asked to make notifications again, he might not be able to make it in time, so Li Guotao called them personally.

In fact, the entire scrap yard is just that small. If you shout at the westernmost end, it can be heard at the easternmost end.

The main reason was that Li Guotao didn't want to yell before because it was too tiring for his voice, so he asked Zhou Ping to notify him.

Everyone gathered together quickly. After all, there were only a few people in the scrap yard, so it was not difficult to get together.

When Li Guotao saw that everyone was already there, he said, "Why did you call everyone to the meeting today? It's because Chen Feng is back today. He purchased some items and is back."

"Chen Feng purchased dozens of live rabbits this time, and we don't have anything to feed them at the station."

"So after you get off work, go to their homes and inform other comrades in the station. If they are not at home, inform their family members. One person from each family must come. In addition, each person must bring two bags of flour!"

Finally, Li Guotao asked loudly, "Did everyone understand?"

The employees at the scrap yard responded in unison, “Got it!”

Li Guotao nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "I understand, then let's go home!"

After hearing what Li Guotao said, the crowd began to disperse and prepared to pack up and go home.

Suddenly Li Guotao shouted to the security guard Zhang Dalong, "Hey! Dalong! If Chen Feng comes back later, help him unload the car! Just unload the things in the lounge first."

Zhang Dalong also answered readily, "I understand, webmaster! Don't worry, I will help!"

Li Guotao then left work with peace of mind.

However, after Chen Feng came out of the scrap station, he did not immediately load the supplies into the tricycle and take them back to the scrap station.

Instead, he rode a tricycle to find a state-owned restaurant and had lunch there.

After finishing his meal, Chen Feng found an empty alley, put the tricycle into the space, entered the space himself, took a nap inside, and then came out again.

Although Chen Feng slept for a long time in the space last night, he could not completely eliminate the fatigue of these days.

Chen Feng was exhausted after spending these few days in the mountains. He felt that he needed a good rest for a few days to fully recover.

After Chen Feng, who had a good sleep, came out of the space refreshed, he looked up at the sky. It was already past noon, and it was almost time for the scrap yard to start work.

Then Chen Feng put the cages containing rabbits and the food on the tricycle.

Then Chen Feng rode the tricycle with a load of nearly a thousand kilograms and drove to the scrap yard with difficulty.

As soon as he entered the scrapyard, Chen Feng found that many people had come to the office door. When they saw Chen Feng, they immediately shouted, "You're back, Chen Feng is back!"

Then a few men came over and helped Chen Feng push the tricycle, and Chen Feng felt a little more relaxed.

Although the weather was still below zero degrees, Chen Feng was already sweating and panting when he returned to the scrap yard.

Chen Feng parked the tricycle in front of the office of the waste station manager, got off the tricycle, and sat down on the ground against the wall. Then he leaned against the wall and gasped.

At this time, Sun Xiaojuan, who was in the crowd, immediately returned to the finance office, brought out a teacup of warm water, and handed it to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng saw a glass of water in front of him. He didn't even look at who handed it to him. He immediately took the teacup and drank all the warm water in it in one breath.

After Sun Xiaojuan saw Chen Feng finished drinking all the water, she asked again, "Chen Feng, is that enough water? Do you want me to pour you another glass?"

Chen Feng raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw Sun Xiaojuan standing beside him and looking at him.

Chen Feng quickly returned the teacup to Sun Xiaojuan, and then said, "Thank you, Sister Sun, I don't want any more water!"

Then Chen Feng handed the teacup in his hand back. Sun Xiaojuan took the teacup and returned it to the finance office.

Chen Feng leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette, lit it, and quietly watched the crowd pointing and discussing the rabbit on the tricycle.

After a while, Li Guotao also heard the noise at the door. He opened the door and saw a fully loaded tricycle parked at the door.

He immediately realized that Chen Feng had returned, so he immediately asked, "The tricycles have all returned, but where is Chen Feng?"

At this time, the people at the door realized that everyone was happy to come. No one informed the stationmaster, and it was the stationmaster himself who heard the noise and came out!

Chen Feng, who was leaning against the wall, heard Li Guotao's question and quickly responded, "Stationmaster, I'm here!"

Li Guotao turned around and looked at Chen Feng who was sitting in the corner. Seeing his appearance, he guessed that he was very tired, so he said, "So you are sitting here? That's fine, just sit down!"

Then he turned to the others and said, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and unload the trucks, weigh them, set up the venue, and then start distributing the benefits."

Everyone suddenly understood what was going on, and the crowd immediately started moving. Some moved tables, some unloaded trucks and weighed them, and soon the venue was set up.

After the crowd had arranged everything, they began to line up. Chen Feng was still the same as usual and consciously lined up at the end.

After everyone had received their food, Wang Dajiang looked at the remaining thirty pounds of food and twelve rabbits and said to Li Guotao, "Stationmaster, what should we do with the remaining food?"

Li Guotao thought for a moment, then said to the crowd, "I think this is the way to go. These things are hard to divide. Why don't we make them at the station tomorrow at noon, and then you can take them back to eat!"

Li Guotao paused for a moment, waiting for everyone's reaction. No one objected, so he continued.

"If everyone has no objection, then let's do it this way! Remember to bring a lunch box when you come tomorrow at noon. Now that everything has been distributed, everyone who needs to go home can go home!"

After hearing what Li Guotao said, the crowd left the scrap yard in groups of two or three.

After watching the family members leave, Li Guotao instructed the staff at the station, "Wang Dajiang, Zhou Ping, take the rabbit cage to the tea room first."

"Zhang Dalong, you guys have to keep an eye on these rabbits today! If one is lost tomorrow, don't blame me for causing trouble for you!"

"Zhang Dahua, Sun Xiaojuan, please ferment the remaining dough before you get off work today, and steam the steamed buns tomorrow."

Li Guotao finally said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, go collect the money for the supplies with Sun Xiaojuan first. Then get some more notes and go out to buy some oil, salt and seasoning."

After Li Guotao finished speaking, he returned to the office. Other people in the station also started to act according to Li Guotao's instructions. I, Chen Feng, followed Sun Xiaojuan into the finance office carrying my things.

Arriving at the finance office, Sun Xiaojuan sat down at the desk and took out her notebook and abacus.

Then he fiddled with the abacus and said to Chen Feng, "The total weight of the rabbits is 175 catties, 1 yuan per catty, 5 yuan. Cornmeal is 262 yuan, 5 yuan for 400 catties. White flour is 80 yuan, 200 yuan for 60 catties. A total of 402 yuan. I don't have a ticket. Is there any problem?"

After Sun Xiao finished calculating the bill, he looked at Chen Feng to see if he had any different opinions.

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Just follow the price Sister Sun said. I have no objection."

Seeing that Chen Feng had no objection, Sun Xiaojuan took out another notebook and started writing on it.

After writing, Sun Xiaojuan handed it to Chen Feng and asked him to sign.

Then Sun Xiaojuan opened the safe, took out a stack of money from it, counted out 402 yuan and gave it to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the money and counted it carefully again. Sun Xiaojuan did not watch Chen Feng counting the money, but took out another list and started writing.

After Chen Feng finished counting and put the money into his pocket, Sun Xiaojuan pushed over another list and some bills, and said:

"Here are ten dollars and some various receipts. Sign this list and take the money and receipts to buy the seasonings!"

Chen Feng picked up a pen and signed his name on the list, then said, "Ten dollars for seasoning? Do you want to buy so much?"

Sun Xiaojuan said indifferently, "It's better to buy a little more at once. Who knows if the stationmaster will do it again next time. Anyway, it's not your money or mine. Buy it and keep it in the tea room."

After listening to her, Chen Feng also felt that what she said was right. It wasn't his money anyway, so how he spent it had nothing to do with him! So Chen Feng took the money and put it in his pocket, picked up his things and prepared to go out.

"Chen Feng, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"

At this time, Sun Xiaojuan suddenly called Chen Feng, and Chen Feng stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Sun, do you have anything else to do?"

At this time, Sun Xiaojuan stood up from the chair, her face slightly red, and said a little embarrassedly, "Chen Feng, can you sell me the cornmeal you distributed today?"

Sun Xiaojuan said this in a very low voice. Chen Feng looked at Sun Xiaojuan whose cheeks were slightly red, not knowing whether she was excited or shy.

Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled slightly and said, "Sure! For ten kilograms of cornmeal, just give the same price as the station!"

As Chen Feng spoke, he put a bag of cornmeal on the desk.

Sun Xiaojuan said excitedly, "Thank you, Chen Feng!"

Then he quickly took out a handful of change, counted out two pieces and handed them to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the handful of coins mostly in small change that Sun Xiaojuan handed over, put them into his pocket casually, and then turned and walked out of the finance office.
