Chapter 193: The Four Walls of the Family
While looking forward to the credit union's 3 million loan arriving soon, Chen Qingdong also found Chen Feng according to Hao Shuyong's meaning, and this time, it was Chen Qingdong who came to Chen Feng's home.
Before coming to Chen Feng's house, Chen Qingdong never imagined that the situation of Chen Feng's family would be so difficult.
Because Chen Feng is a people's teacher after all, although he is a temporary worker, his monthly salary should be two or three hundred, and his annual income should be about three thousand.
But when he came to the small alley where Chen Feng's house was located, and after being pointed out by others, he knew that this adobe house was Chen Feng's home, Chen Qingdong really couldn't believe it.
The already dilapidated wooden door was not locked, so Chen Qingdong directly pushed the door open and walked in.
The courtyard of Chen Feng's house is a standard six-point land, and the main house is three old brick and wood houses that have been very dilapidated, I don't know what the reason is, there is a big crack in the blue brick wall, and it looks like the whole house is crumbling, which belongs to the ranks of typical dilapidated houses.
However, in contrast to the three dilapidated brick and timber main houses, the two annexes, including the kitchen, and the courtyard wall are all adobe, and it seems that they were first made in the seventies and eighties.
Although Shuangshan Town is one of the poorest townships in Liulin County, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the migrant workers have formed a wave of migrant workers, and after these migrant workers have made money and come back, one of their favorite things to do is to rebuild old houses, as if this is the best way to prove that they are doing well. Therefore, in recent years, there are very few adobe houses in the most central villages of Shuangshan Town, and even if there are, most of them are occupied by the elderly, or they are vacant, and it is rare for someone like Chen Feng to live in an adobe house who is young and used to have a job.
Chen Feng's yard is quite tidy, not like most villagers in the yard is full of chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other livestock, but Chen Feng's yard is a small half of the yard of flowers and plants, mainly holly, as well as two plum trees, a toon tree and an apple tree, and most of the area is planted with cabbage and other vegetables unique to winter.
The yard is very neat and clean, and it is very tidy, and it can be seen from the layout and planting of this yard that the owner of this yard is different from ordinary people, and this should be a place where people with some taste and culture live.
Chen Qingdong came to Chen Feng's house after evening, when most of the people were cooking, and Chen Feng's kitchen was also emitting black smoke, and it was crackling inside, and I didn't know what he was doing.
Chen Qingdong walked to the door of the kitchen and saw Chen Feng sitting on a small wooden stool in front of the old-fashioned stove, pulling the bellows in one hand and throwing firewood such as cotton stalks and corn cobs into the stove with the other.
There was a lot of noise in the kitchen, and Chen Feng was very focused, so he didn't hear anyone coming in.
Chen Qingdong stood at the door for dozens of seconds before he shouted, "Teacher Chen." β
Chen Feng heard the shout and turned his head, but because Chen Qingdong was standing against the light, Chen Feng didn't see who was standing at the door for a while, so he stood up and took a few steps forward before he recognized that it was Chen Qingdong, and hurriedly said: "It's Qingdong here!" I'm sorry, I'm just thinking about the pot, and I don't know if you're coming, go, go, go to the house and sit. β
Chen Qingdong said: "Teacher Chen, you don't have to be polite, you are still busy with you, let's talk here is the same." β
Chen Feng was a very polite person, and hurriedly said: "How can this work!" Let's go and sit in the house. β
Chen Qingdong pointed to the stove and said, "Don't you care about this fire?" β
"No, you don't! No! Chen Feng said repeatedly, "Just let it burn by itself, it's just a bowl of rice soup, if it is burned dry, it will be eaten as rice, hehe...... Let's go, Qingdong, let's go and sit in the house. β
Chen Feng was so enthusiastic that Chen Qingdong had no choice but to follow Chen Feng to the house.
After entering the hall, Chen Qingdong sighed in his heart, Chen Feng's home can really be described as "four walls"!
It was a two-room hall, with little furniture left except for a dilapidated square wooden table and a few wooden chairs, and two old-fashioned wooden cabinets against the wall, and there was no electrical appliance other than an incandescent light bulb hanging from the roof, not even the electric fans that were common in ordinary people's homes.
Chen Feng also knew that Chen Qingdong would definitely be surprised, so he said with a wry smile: "Qingdong, my house is surrounded by four walls, so you can see and laugh." β
Chen Qingdong didn't deliberately say anything nonsense such as "high character", but said bluntly: "Teacher Chen, the situation in your home is indeed poorer than I imagined, but it is very clean and tidy. β
Chen Feng smiled bitterly: "The family conditions are really poor, in fact, there is nothing to clean up, just these few pieces of broken furniture, wherever they are placed, they all look tidy, because there is really nothing that can make my house look messy." β
Chen Qingdong smiled when he saw that Chen Feng said it straightforwardly, but there was also some open-mindedness in his tone.
After Chen Feng asked Chen Qingdong to sit down next to the small wooden table, he said, "Qingdong, you sit down first, I'll go get hot water and pour you a cup of tea." β
Chen Qingdong hurriedly said: "Teacher Chen, don't be so polite. β
"When you come, you are a guest, and a cup of tea must be served anyway." Chen Feng said, "It's just that I don't have any good tea at home, so I can only make do with it, and please don't mind Qingdong." β
Chen Qingdong hurriedly said: "Teacher Chen is too polite. β
Chen Feng picked up two glass teacups from the table and walked out, apparently because he was afraid that Chen Qingdong would dislike the cups as unclean, so he had to wash the cups first.
Since the last time Chen Feng was caught because he smashed the glass of the farm with a brick, Chen Qingdong chatted with Chen Feng, and it has been many days since they met again today, and Chen Qingdong has not seen Chen Feng again these days, so when he heard Hao Shuyong say that Chen Feng and others were going to petition again, Chen Qingdong thought that what he saw today was Chen Feng who was as excited as a cockfight last time!
And this time, Chen Feng and others were tricked, and their emotions may be even more excited! Last time, Chen Feng dared to smash the glass with a brick, will he use a brick to smash people this time?
So before entering the door of Chen Feng's house, Chen Qingdong was still a little uneasy in his heart, worried that Chen Feng would do something out of the ordinary under his excitement.
But after meeting Chen Feng today and saying these few words to him, I felt that today's Chen Feng was very different from the last time I saw Chen Feng.
Today's Chen Feng not only does not have the excitement that Chen Qingdong imagined, but his emotions are very indifferent, his speech is also very polite, and he even has some gentle meaning, which makes Chen Qingdong have a lot of good feelings for Chen Feng.
Originally, Chen Qingdong just came here to talk to Chen Feng with the mind of a lobbyist, if Chen Feng couldn't listen, then Chen Qingdong didn't want to care about this mess at all, but now, Chen Qingdong really wanted to help Chen Feng within his ability.
Just when Chen Qingdong was thinking nonsense, Chen Feng walked in with a pot of hot water and the two glasses, and said: "Qingdong, I'm really sorry, I don't have disposable cups at home, I scalded these two glasses with hot water just now, and I can only barely use them." β
Chen Qingdong smiled: "Teacher Chen, you are so polite. β
Chen Feng put down the cup, took out the cheap tea packaged in plastic bags from the drawer, put some in each, soaked it in hot water, picked up a cup and put it in front of Chen Qingdong, and said, "It's not bad, don't mind." β
Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "I don't pay attention to tea, no matter what kind of tea, drinking it is the same taste, hehe......"
Chen Feng knew that Chen Qingdong was being polite, so he smiled and said, "It's good if you don't mind." β
After the two took two sips of tea, Chen Qingdong put down the cup and said, "Teacher Chen, I came this time mainly because I want to talk to you about a few words. β
Chen Feng smiled faintly and said, "Qingdong, I know what your purpose is here. β
Chen Qingdong also knew that Chen Feng would definitely be able to guess, so he said bluntly: "Teacher Chen, take the liberty of asking, what do you think now?" β
"Thoughts? Hehe, I don't really have any ideas. Chen Feng said with a bitter face, "Qingdong, the last time the two of us met, I was quite emotional, and I didn't really hear a lot of what I said to you, but after Mayor Hao promised us that as long as we handed over the money, we would resume work, and I took it seriously." In fact, it is ridiculous to say that we, the broken intellectuals, are actually very simple in thought, and when the leader speaks, we think that we will not deceive people, but we forget that the most deceitful people in the world are politicians. β
Because the last time Hao Shuyong made a promise to Chen Feng and others, Chen Qingdong also came with Hao Shuyong, although he didn't say anything at the time, but because he and Hao Shuyong had the same position, Hao Shuyong deceived them, and Chen Qingdong was naturally implicated, so Chen Feng's "accusing" of politicians was so deceitful, Chen Qingdong also felt like he was saying it to himself, and his face was a little hot.
"Teacher Chen, I'm really embarrassed to ...... last time," Chen Qingdong said.
Chen Feng waved his hand to interrupt Chen Qingdong's words, and said lightly: "Qingdong, I don't blame you for saying this, I just blame myself, I am already thirty years old, and I am so stupid and naΓ―ve to be so unfamiliar with accidents......
