When night fell, Huang Fei's family should have gone to sleep, but unfortunately, Huang Fei couldn't fall asleep at all.
He slept all day; it would be a miracle if he could sleep at night.
He tossed and turned in bed, then finally sat up, went to the kitchen, drank some water, and sat down on a stool to light a cigarette.
Huang Fei's father also came out to use the restroom at this moment. Seeing Huang Fei sitting on the stool smoking, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Having trouble sleeping?"
"Hmm, not too sleepy," Huang Fei said, trying to cover it up.
"You were so tired yesterday, and you spent the whole day panning for gold today, aren't you sleepy?" Huang Fei's father snorted.
Normally, Huang Fei would have been exhausted by now and probably wouldn't have woken up even if you called him while he was lying in bed. How could he still be so energetic?
His father knew Huang Fei all too well. He poured himself half a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp. Then, as he walked back, he began to speak.
"Next time, let's just go home and sleep. It'll save us from sleeping in the car and feeling uncomfortable."
After saying that, he went inside to continue sleeping, leaving Huang Fei alone in the kitchen feeling extremely awkward.
Unexpectedly, he was eventually found out. It just goes to show that no one knows a son better than his father. His father knew exactly what he was doing, whether his ass was dry or wet.
"Sigh." Huang Fei sighed, stood up and went back to his room. He had originally wanted to maintain a good image of being down-to-earth and hardworking.
Unexpectedly, it collapsed in just a few days.
The next day, after breakfast, Chen Feng sat in the doorway, basking in the sun and smoking.
The warm sunlight shone on Chen Feng, causing him to squint slightly.
If there were a recliner here, it would be so comfortable, if you ignored the stench of chicken manure wafting from the side.
There was nothing Chen Feng could do; his house wasn't as big as others', and there was a chicken farm right next to it.
Next to the chicken coop is a pigsty, which can hold two or three pigs.
It's just empty now, and I haven't kept any pets there.
Liu Ping likes to keep these animals, and Chen Feng plans to build her a large, separate space in the future, specifically for keeping them, if he builds a new house.
"Mom, the pigsty is just sitting empty anyway, why don't we catch a couple of piglets and throw them in there? We can make sweet and sour pork ribs for the New Year!" Chen Feng called out to Liu Ping from the doorway.
Liu Ping was tidying up the house when she heard this and spoke up.
"Fine, go ahead and catch them if you want. I didn't have any money before, and the cost of two piglets plus feed was quite high, so I couldn't bear to part with them."
“We’re not short of money now, so let’s just catch two, sell one and kill the other for the New Year.” Liu Ping had no objections.
Chen Feng nodded, preparing to see whose sow had given birth and then bring a couple over himself.
Just then, Chen Feng's phone rang. It was an unknown number, and he answered it.
Hello?
"Hello customer, this is JD.com. Your refrigerator has arrived. Is anyone home? Should I deliver it to you now or later?"
"Someone's here, someone's here. You can bring it over now," Chen Feng said, somewhat surprised.
Although I knew Dongzi was fast, I didn't expect it to be this fast. I placed the order at night and it arrived in the morning. I thought it would take until the afternoon.
"Good customer, the refrigerator will be delivered within two hours."
Chen Feng hung up the phone and went back inside. Liu Ping heard him on the phone and asked, "What's wrong? Did the refrigerator arrive?"
"Hmm, that's fast." Chen Feng started to move the old refrigerator out.
"It really is a refrigerator. JD.com is really efficient. How could it be so fast?" Liu Ping exclaimed in surprise.
"My lord, times have changed. It's not the same as it used to be."
“This is the countryside. If you were in the city, whatever you buy online would arrive in a few days at the latest.” Chen Feng carried the refrigerator out, and Liu Ping quickly stepped forward to help.
The two moved the old refrigerator outside. Liu Ping looked at the old refrigerator and said, "What should we do with this? Keep it or sell it for scrap metal?"
"Of course we'll sell it for scrap metal. Why keep it? It's unusable."
"I'll go to Mrs. Zhang's this afternoon. She collects these things, right? I'll sell the angle iron while I'm at it." Chen Feng clapped his hands and thought for a moment.
"How much money can Mrs. Zhang give? If not, we can take it to the county town to sell it sometime, maybe we'll get more?" Liu Ping said shrewdly.
"Forget it, it's too big to carry. Even if you take it to the county town, you'll only get an extra ten or eight yuan, which isn't even enough to cover the trouble." Chen Feng immediately shook his head upon hearing this.
"Alright then." Liu Ping knew it wouldn't be good to push him, so she could only nod in agreement.
More than an hour later, a truck drove into the village and arrived at the entrance under Chen Feng's guidance.
"Yes, that's it," Chen Feng said, waving.
The driver and the loader carried the refrigerator off the truck. The refrigerator was also wrapped in a wooden frame to prevent it from being bumped or damaged.
The two men carried the refrigerator into the house, removed the wooden frame inside, and then moved the refrigerator to the designated location.
At this moment, Aunt Wang also got off the bus at the village entrance. She looked quite fat, with classic middle-aged woman's fine curly hair, and was carrying an empty shopping bag, it was unclear what she was planning to put in it.
As soon as she entered Chen Feng's house, she saw a truck parked in front of the door, and she couldn't help but look puzzled.
Why such a big fuss? What's going on?
She went inside and saw Chen Feng and Liu Ping busy at work, and two men in red short-sleeved shirts carrying a refrigerator.
"Oh my, what's going on here? Did you buy a new refrigerator?" Aunt Wang said in surprise as she walked in.
"Oh, the refrigerator at home broke down, so Xiaofeng just bought a new one. Please have a seat," Liu Ping said hurriedly as she saw her come in.
"Okay, I'm not tired." Aunt Wang stared at the refrigerator with curiosity.
"Aunt Wang," Chen Feng greeted her, looking up.
"Oh, Xiaofeng is home," Aunt Wang replied with a smile.
After moving the refrigerator to its location and plugging it in to test it, Chen Feng confirmed receipt of the goods after confirming that there were no problems.
The two staff members drove away, and Aunt Wang, looking at the refrigerator, couldn't help but ask, "Wow, that's a really nice big refrigerator. It must have cost over a thousand, right?"
"Hmm, it's alright." Liu Ping nodded, without mentioning the price.
Saying this sounds like bragging, so interpret it however you like.
"It's really good, very good. Xiaofeng has really grown up now, he looks like a real man." Aunt Wang praised Chen Feng.
She didn't know what Chen Feng was doing, but when you visit someone, you should at least compliment them, right? Anyway, no matter what, saying that is always right.
Chen Feng smiled but remained silent.
"What is Wang Shun doing now? Is he still at the construction site?" Liu Ping asked.
Wang Shun is Aunt Wang's husband.
"Yeah, he's still working on the construction site. What can he do? He has to earn money for his grandson's milk powder," Aunt Wang said with a smile.
"Oh my god, your daughter-in-law is pregnant! That's great! Your son is married now, and you even have a grandson. It would be nice to spend your days taking care of the child," Liu Ping said with a smile.
"We don't even know if it's a granddaughter or a grandson yet, he's only six months old." Aunt Wang waved her hand, her smile never fading.
Hearing this, Chen Feng finally understood why Aunt Wang had suddenly come.
This is a advance notice so we can go drinking in the county town later.
