Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng called Li Guotao out, Li Guotao followed Chen Feng to the two pigs and looked at the two big black pigs that were fat and strong because of what Chen Feng had fed.

Li Guotao couldn't help but tease Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, I didn't expect you to be so good at feeding pigs. In just half a year, you've made these two pigs so fat!"

Faced with Li Guotao's teasing, Chen Feng could only smile and say nothing. He let Li Guotao talk and just refused to respond.

Looking at the silent Chen Feng, Li Guotao did not make things difficult for him. After all, he was Uncle Chen's grandson and now worked under him, so there was no need to make things difficult for him.

Li Guotao ignored the others and shouted to Zhou Ping who was leading the pig: "Zhou Ping, push a tricycle for me. I want to send this pig to the headquarters."

After Li Guotao said this, everyone at the scrap yard felt reluctant to leave. After all, they hadn't eaten pork for a long time, and Li Guotao also saw the reluctance on everyone's faces.

"Okay, don't be reluctant. The headquarters knows about these two pigs. Is it okay if we don't take the initiative to send one over?" Li Guotao said loudly.

Hearing this, everyone could only nod their heads helplessly. After all, Li Guotao was right. If they didn't take the initiative to send one over, the headquarters would definitely be unhappy.

"The guards have to keep a close eye on the remaining one today, and we'll kill it and divide the meat tomorrow. Okay, everyone, be happy! Notify those who are running outside when they come back!" Li Guotao spoke again.

As soon as Li Guotao finished speaking, Zhou Ping came in front of everyone pushing a tricycle.

After seeing the tricycle, Li Guotao was about to find someone to help load the pigs onto the vehicle when he suddenly realized an important problem - the pigs had not been weighed yet!

So he quickly changed his mind and asked everyone to weigh the pig first.

The men in the scrap yard acted quickly, tied up the two fat pigs, and lifted them onto the scales to weigh them. The results showed that the larger pig weighed 260 kilograms, while the slightly smaller one weighed 246 kilograms.

Li Guotao looked at the weight and decided to tie up the smaller pig and load it into the tricycle.

Before leaving, Li Guotao turned to Chen Feng and Sun Xiaojuan and said, "Accountant Xiaojuan, you will take Chen Feng to settle the bill later. Chen Feng, follow Accountant Xiaojuan closely and go back after you get the money."

After saying that, Li Guotao rode his tricycle away from the scrap yard without waiting for the two to respond.

After Li Guotao left, Chen Feng followed Sun Xiaojuan into the finance office. The other people in the scrap yard were still surrounding the remaining pig and looking at it.

After Chen Feng and Sun Xiaojuan arrived at the finance office, Sun Xiaojuan wrote out a bill and asked Chen Feng to sign it. Chen Feng took it and looked at it. It said

"Name: Chen Feng; Items purchased: Pork; Weight: 506 jin; Unit price: 1.5 yuan/jin; Total price: 759 yuan; Person in charge: Sun Xiaojuan".

After Chen Feng looked at it, he confirmed that there was no problem and then signed his name.

After seeing Chen Feng sign, Sun Xiaojuan handed the counted 759 yuan to Chen Feng. Chen Feng took it, counted it, and put it in his pocket after confirming that it was correct.

Now the supply of grain and meat has decreased, and the price of meat has started to rise. This time, the scrap yard gave Chen Feng 1.5 yuan.

Although it is not as high as the black market outside, it is already pretty good. After all, in this era of material scarcity, it is already pretty good to have such an income. Moreover, this is also income obtained through legal means, so there is no need to worry about being investigated.

Seeing that Chen Feng had already put the money in his pocket, Sun Xiaojuan asked, "Chen Feng, why did the stationmaster say that you are good at feeding pigs?"

When Chen Feng heard Sun Xiaojuan's question, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself: "Sure enough, someone still asked this question."

He originally wanted to hide it, but now it seems that he can't hide it anymore.

Chen Feng smiled helplessly and explained, "I did feed these two pigs. Half a year ago, I bought two piglets under the name of the stationmaster."

"But for some reason, I didn't dare tell the stationmaster about this. It was only until recently that the stationmaster found out about it and let me bring the pig back."

Sun Xiaojuan was very surprised and curious after hearing what Chen Feng said. She looked at Chen Feng strangely, and then continued to ask

"Then where did you keep the piglets? In a yard outside the city? How come I never found them?"

Chen Feng scratched his head and replied with a wry smile: "Actually, it's at my friend's house in the countryside. But I can't tell you the exact location, after all, this is also my secret."

Sun Xiaojuan nodded to show her understanding. She looked at Chen Feng with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes. She didn't expect Chen Feng to have such a talent, secretly raising pigs to such a large size before being discovered.

Then Chen Feng said with some regret: "Alas, I finally raised it to this size, and it was discovered by the stationmaster. If it was discovered a month later, I would have killed the pig almost before the New Year. Now it's all over!"

As he spoke, he shook his head, his face full of regret.

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Sun Xiaojuan felt a little regretful, but she still smiled and comforted Chen Feng: "Okay, don't feel sorry, didn't you get the money? So much money! More than my salary for two years! Just be content!"

She patted Chen Feng's shoulder gently and comforted him slowly.

When Chen Feng heard what Sun Xiaojuan said, he thought to himself that what she said made sense. After all, more than 700 yuan was not a small amount of money.

Although he was unable to slaughter a pig for the New Year as he wished, this unexpected fortune also made him feel a little relieved.

According to common sense, if the leader found out that Chen Feng used his leader's name to buy piglets, it would be considered a good temper if the leader did not confiscate his pigs.

And now the leader actually gave him money, which was considered the original price. Thinking of this, Chen Feng gradually calmed down and accepted this reality.

After figuring it out, Chen Feng smiled and turned to Sun Xiaojuan and said, "Well! You're right. At least I got the money now!"

His mood gradually became relaxed, as if the previous haze had been swept away.

Then Chen Feng said to Sun Xiaojuan, "Sister Sun, how about we go to the yard outside the city to celebrate tonight?"

His eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement, and he seemed to be impatient.

After hearing this, Sun Xiaojuan rolled her eyes at Chen Feng, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay! But you have to wait until I go back and arrange things at home. How about you wait for me outside the city first, and I'll come back to find you?"

When Chen Feng heard her proposal, he immediately nodded and answered without hesitation: "That's fine! I'll be waiting for you in the yard, you must go!"

His eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, and he hoped that Sun Xiaojuan would accept his invitation.

Sun Xiaojuan looked at Chen Feng and couldn't help laughing. She said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go!"

There was a hint of tenderness in her voice, which made Chen Feng feel extremely at ease.

After making an appointment with Sun Xiaojuan, Chen Feng left the finance office and saw Zhou Ping and the others were still circling the pig outside.

Chen Feng faintly heard several sounds of people swallowing saliva, but Chen Feng ignored them. He walked around the crowd and returned to the communication room where he was on duty.

He arrived at the message room, put his things away, refilled the stove with coal, and then dozed off on the table.

Chen Feng fell asleep in a daze. In his dream, he seemed to have returned to the afterlife and saw his relatives and friends from the afterlife again.

Their smiles were still so friendly. Chen Feng wanted to reach out and grab them, but he couldn't.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, Chen Feng shivered and opened his eyes suddenly. He found himself still in the message room, and everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Chen Feng rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and stretched. At this time, he noticed that it was getting dark outside the window and night was about to fall.

He looked at his watch. Time passed so quickly that it was already past five forty and all the employees at the scrap yard had already left.

Chen Feng stood up and stretched his muscles. Then he straightened his clothes, put on his schoolbag, and prepared to go out.

When he opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in his face, causing him to sneeze. He wrapped his coat tightly around him and walked out quickly.

Chen Feng pushed his bicycle out of the scrap yard's gate, locked the gate, got on his bicycle and rode towards the outside of the city.

When Chen Feng finally arrived at the gate of the courtyard outside the city, night had already fallen. He stared at the still locked gate, knowing that Sun Xiao had not arrived yet.

Chen Feng gently pushed open the gate, pushed the bicycle into the yard, and then closed the door again, but this time he did not lock it.

He parked his bike at the door and walked to the main room, changing the coals in the stove to make sure it stayed burning.

Then, Chen Feng went into the kitchen and started preparing dinner. He carefully prepared chicken, fish and rabbit meat and cooked three delicious dishes. In addition, he also fried some cabbage and cooked a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

Just as Chen Feng finished preparing four dishes and one soup, Sun Xiaojuan finally stepped into the yard.

When Chen Feng saw her, he finally felt relieved. He had been worried that Sun Xiaojuan might have encountered an accident on the road, so he was late to arrive.

Seeing that Sun Xiaojuan appeared safe and sound, Chen Feng immediately and warmly invited her to have dinner with him.

Sun Xiaojuan looked at the table full of meat and vegetables and said in surprise, "Why did Chen Feng prepare such a sumptuous feast when it's not a festival?"

Chen Feng looked at the surprised Sun Xiaojuan, chuckled and said, "Isn't it with you this afternoon? Of course it's to celebrate!"

Seeing that Sun Xiao wanted to say something, Chen Feng immediately stepped forward, took her hand, led her to her seat, and then spoke.

"Okay, everything is ready, just eat with me!"

Seeing this, Sun Xiaojuan didn't know what to say, so she had to sit down and eat with Chen Feng.

After dinner, Sun Xiaojuan washed the dishes, and the two of them went to the bedroom to rest after washing up.
