59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"Well, I will work hard and get into a good school with my own abilities." Chen Feng said seriously.

Yu Jianhua and Professor Wu nodded at the same time, looking like they were very optimistic about you.

Wait until he is far away.

Yu Jianhua asked: "Teacher, I don't understand, his grandfather is so powerful, why let him go to the Red Star Affiliated School?"

He was doubting Chen Feng's words, but was just being more tactful.

Professor Wu had heard some information from his son, and he said softly, "Not everyone lives in a building."

In the old city, living in a building is a source of pride.

However, many families of the older generation live in large compounds with poor living environments. This is called not changing the original intention.

After finally getting rid of Yu Jianhua, Chen Feng rode his bike back.

When I came back, I met a few people from the same yard and greeted them casually.

What surprised him was that these people did not ask about the pond. It seemed that Cai Jiaxing and Jiang Jianjun were just as the old man had expected, tight-lipped people, and would not tell anyone about the matter before it was done.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, stop."

When he passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Sanchun from the cooperative came out and called his name.

Chen Feng stopped his bicycle and asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"

Zhao Sanchun came over and asked, "I heard that you dug your well in one day?"

"Yes, I was lucky enough to hit a water vein, and water came out as soon as I dug." Chen Feng made an excuse for himself as he did in the past.

Zhao Sanchun asked, "What do you think? Can I dig a well or a pond in our yard?"

Of course it’s possible, but who can be sure that water will come out if you dig anywhere randomly?

Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's not difficult to dig a well, but it's not easy to get water out. It depends on the water veins underground. If you find the water veins, water will flow out of the well. If you can't find the water veins, you can dig seven or eight meters deep and water will flow out."

"But if you want to get water, you probably need a bucket. Tap water is not expensive now, only a few cents a month. I think it's more convenient to use tap water."

"The reason why my family had to dig a well is because the pool is too big and using tap water is too expensive."

Zhao Sanchun also asked, and when he heard that the water from the well could not flow out, he wanted to give up this idea.

When I got home, there were several neighbors washing clothes in the yard.

Qin Huairu was there too.

To make it more convenient for her, the Chen family even gave her a stool.

Everyone also gave her the space on the stacked stones. This space was about 30 centimeters high, just right for sitting down to wash clothes and vegetables, saving her the trouble of bending over to work.

"Is Xiaofeng back?"

"Have you been to the streets?"

Seeing him come in, several neighbor aunties asked him a few questions enthusiastically.

"Yes, I went to the bookstore and bought some high school materials." Chen Feng replied.

Pushing the bicycle back to the main room, the old lady was talking with Zhang Haixing and Zhou Qing about going to the street to buy things, and Chen Li reminded them from time to time.

"Grandma, what do you want to buy?"

"Buy cigarettes. Starting next month, cigarettes in the city will also require coupons." The old lady said, "I'll buy some more to store."

Chen Feng said with a smile: "That's great, put more money away, do you have enough money? I have quite a bit here."

"It's your money, use it yourself, grandma has money." The old lady said with a smile.

Chen Li ran over and hugged Chen Feng's feet.

"Big pot, I don't have any money."

It seems that the little guy seems to understand the truth about his poverty.

"Okay, go water the pond first. If you water it well, I'll give you a penny."

Chen Feng smiled and exploited the little sister's labor, but the little girl was too energetic and happily ran to the kitchen to get a small wooden bucket and a ladle.

When Chen Feng arrived at the warehouse, he saw that the young worker was working very seriously this time and did not spill water everywhere.

Fortunately, Chen Feng is here, so there are no ants, cockroaches, centipedes or anything like that in the house.

Otherwise, this humid environment is most likely to attract pests.

"Not bad, not bad. Pour two more buckets and come to my study to get the money."

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Li worked harder and harder.

After finishing, Chen Feng did give her a one-cent note and a handful of mulberries.

The happy little foodie started asking when the next watering would be.

"Big pot, why do you have to wait two hours? Can't you water it now?"

Chen Feng explained: "This is just like when we eat. After we are full, we will be hungry after a few hours. Now the soil in the pond is full. If you add water, it will swell and die."

Chen Li seemed to have opened up a new world and asked, "Big Pot, does mud also need to eat?"

"Well, drinking water is better for them!" Chen Feng had a headache. The 4-year-old girl asked so many questions that even with his knowledge, he was a little overwhelmed.

It's really difficult to make her understand it roughly, but also not make it too outrageous.

"Will it give birth to Sun Wukong?" Chen Li really used her rich imagination to raise a new question.

"Sun Wukong was born from the Heaven-Repairing Stone. He could not be born from ordinary mud."

"That big pot, mother always said I picked it up from the sea, is that true?"

"Of course this is fake. You came out of your mother's belly."

"Why are my brother and I in mom's belly? Is it because she ate us?"

"Ahem, stop asking questions and eat your mulberries!"

Chen Feng's embarrassment made Zhang Haixing, who was watching the joke, laugh continuously.

Chen Li held mulberries and ran to Zhang Haixing to share the snacks.

After eating mulberries, Zhang Haixing asked Chen Feng for the key, rode a tricycle, and took the old lady, Zhou Qing, and Chen Li shopping.

"Big Pot, come on, too!"

"What am I here for?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Chen Li sat in the carriage and said, "You have money. Mom will take me with you, and I will take you with me. You take the money, and we will go shopping happily together."

"Haha, Lily, you are so smart." Zhang Haixiong turned around and kissed Chen Li's little face.

"Hehe, sister, there is a lot of money in my big pot, so much." Chen Li opened her hands and gestured. She had seen the loose change that Chen Feng put in the cabinet.

This is what Chen Feng left at home for Zhou Qing. His father is a poor man and you can't rely on him.

If Zhou Qing needs money, he can get it directly from him.

He already has five or six thousand yuan anyway, so there's no point in keeping it.

"Xiao Feng, I took fifty yuan from you." Zhou Qing walked out of the study and explained to Chen Feng.

She discovered something that made her depressed.

She didn’t have a job before and she was very poor.

Now she earns 18 yuan a month, and she is still very poor!

With more income, the expenditure also increases.

"Oh, I see."

Chen Feng replied casually that he had more than two hundred in the cabinet.

"Do you still have cloth coupons or meat coupons?" Zhou Qing couldn't help asking, "The coupons are for use within the current month. They are useless if they expire. It's almost the end of the month. If you have any, give them to me."

Chen Feng shook his head.

He had already used up all the notes he had exchanged.

Even a few food coupons and meat coupons were given to Chen Hao, so that he could eat at a restaurant outside with Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and others at noon after school to avoid having to come back to eat.

Now that the three gluttons have come back, the old lady has to cook a lot more dishes, which is so troublesome!
