Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 215 Things That Happened During This Period
When Li Feng heard what name Sha Zhu wanted to give his child, he was somewhat surprised that Sha Zhu had come up with a name for the child so quickly.

This also indirectly shows that Sha Zhu really likes Wen Hui.

Otherwise, Sha Zhu wouldn't have thought of a name for his and Wen Hui's child so quickly.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but nod slightly to Sha Zhu and say something.

"Ok".

"This is a good name."

"He Hui".

"That sounds pretty good."

At this moment, He Yushui heard that her brother had already chosen a name for his eldest nephew, so He Yushui began to repeatedly mutter the name He Hui.

Then she asked her brother with a grin.

"elder brother".

"The name you chose is really nice, by the way!"

"When will my sister-in-law marry into the family?"

Sha Zhu thought for a moment, then answered his sister.

“I also want it to be as soon as possible, but now we need to give Wenhui some time.”

"I've basically sorted things out with Wenhui's parents now."

"I estimate it will be this year."

When Li Feng heard that Sha Zhu was planning to settle his marriage this year, he nodded to Sha Zhu and said...

"It's better to settle it sooner rather than later, so that things don't get complicated."

"That would be better for both you and Wenhui."

He Yushui quickly nodded and said.

"yes".

"My sister-in-law is getting married soon, so I need to make some preparations."

Upon hearing He Yushui's words, Sha Zhu couldn't help but smile at his sister.

"What else do you need to prepare?"

"Just focus on preparing for this year's college entrance exam."

"Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of things at home; you don't need to worry about it."

He Yushui pouted after hearing her brother's words.

"I just wanted to help out, I didn't do anything wrong."

At this moment, Li Feng offered some advice to Sha Zhu.

"The rainwater meant well, so don't say anything more about the rainwater."

"Since you've decided to marry Wenhui this year, just let me know if you need any help. If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu waved his hand at Li Feng and said.

"You don't need to worry about the money. I've been cooking big banquets outside these days and have made some money."

"I still have enough money to get married."

Sha Zhu still has enough money to get married.

He's not worried about that now.

When Li Feng heard that Sha Zhu didn't need to borrow money, he nodded to Sha Zhu and said...

"Okay."

"If other places need my help in the future, I will definitely help them."

When Li Feng got to this point, he picked up another bite of food and continued drinking.

The two then talked about some things about the future.

Sha Zhu's idea is to get married and have a child.

As for the rest, Sha Zhu didn't think too much about it.

Li Feng only told Sha Zhu that he would take the college entrance exam in August or September and then go back to the factory to continue working.

However, Sha Zhu was somewhat puzzled by Li Feng's choice.

After all, Sha Zhu thought that Li Feng was already a cadre, so why would he need to take the college entrance exam? He thought it was unnecessary for Li Feng to do that.

Although Sha Zhu thought so in his heart, he still told Li Feng that after graduating from university, he would definitely become a high-ranking leader.

After having enough wine and food.

Li Feng returned home.

At this time, Li Feng's home was still relatively quiet and deserted, perhaps because he lived alone.

Shazhu is about to get married, while I'm still living alone.

Li Feng didn't know if his relationship with Ding Qiunan would continue to develop.

If this can continue, then when I go home, I won't be alone anymore.

When he thought of this, he realized it was almost ten o'clock.

So Li Feng quickly washed up and went to bed.

After all, I have to go to work tomorrow.

The next day
7:50 AM
After finishing his meal at the factory, Li Feng returned to the Xincai team.

Upon arriving at the new color group, Li Feng first went to Master Deng and handed him the simple sketch he had drawn the day before.

Master Deng nodded to Li Feng after looking at Li Feng's hand-drawn sketch.

"The basic movements are fine, but the details are lacking."

"It's usable, to say the least!"

After looking at Li Feng's hand-drawn sketch, Master Deng looked up at Li Feng and asked a question.

"How many photos did you take yesterday?"

Li Feng then immediately replied to Master Deng.

"Three volumes, please."

After Li Feng finished saying the number, Master Deng looked at Li Feng in surprise and asked in confusion.

"You took so many photos?"

"Do we need so much material?"

Li Feng then explained to Master Deng.

"Actually, I had a purpose in taking so many photos."

At this moment, Master Deng was curious about Li Feng's purpose, so he nodded to Li Feng and asked.

"Then tell me, what is your purpose?"

So Li Feng began to explain to Master Deng.

"Actually, I took so many photos to collect materials for our new color group."

"As you know, it's quite rare to see Xinjiang dances here, and we don't always have the opportunity to do so. So I talked to this Xinjiang girl who is dancing and asked her to perform a few more dances so that we can get more material."

"In the future, we can save time collecting materials, don't you think?"

After listening to Li Feng's words, Master Deng thought about it for a while and felt that what Li Feng said made a lot of sense.

What is the most important thing when working?
Saving time is, of course, the most important thing.

The best thing is to do the work quickly and well.

Therefore, Li Feng was able to collect more materials yesterday, which also helped to expand the material library for the new color group and the factory.

At this point, Master Deng understood why Li Feng had taken three rolls of film the day before.

So he nodded to Li Feng and said.

"Okay."

"You can arrange this yourself."

"When the time comes, you just need to design the porcelain painting."

"Now that I'm old, I can't manage so many things anymore. You, Zhang Jiefang, and Jiang Fei need to take good care of the new color team, understand?"

Upon hearing what Master Deng said, Li Feng immediately nodded in response.

"I will."

After hearing Li Feng's answer, Master Deng went to Director Zhou's office with satisfaction.

Master Deng is now nearing retirement, so his current task is to mentor the apprentices in the new color group.

At this time, Master Deng had nothing to do, so he went to Director Zhou's office to rest.

Next, Li Feng also learned what he was going to do next.

So Li Feng went straight to the kiln to check if the eighteen Arhats he had brought to fire yesterday were finished.

But the result is that it is expected to be finished by this afternoon.

So now, Li Feng can only paint porcelain paintings of girls from Western Xinjiang.

Now, no matter what, Li Feng is determined to finish painting the porcelain plaque first.

Li Feng had several ideas about the porcelain plaque depicting the girl from Western Xinjiang.

At this moment, Li Feng still had some thoughts about the girl from Western Xinjiang in his mind, so he directly found the large porcelain plate and started sketching.

Li Feng first determined the position of the central figure, Ajik, and then he began to use light ink to paint the dancers behind him.

After all, Li Feng is now painting figures, so figures are of utmost importance.

Therefore, Li Feng needs to determine the positions of the characters. Once that's done, he can start drawing the background images of Western Xinjiang.

As for background images of Western Xinjiang, Li Feng can only find some brochures in the factory's archives to design them now.

The local customs and architecture of Western Xinjiang.

These are all the materials Li Feng needs to find, but the factory's archives have very little information about the customs and culture of western Xinjiang.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh, "The internet of later generations is so convenient; all I have to do is search."

It has everything from pictures and documents to paper documents; you can just print them yourself.

It wouldn't have been this complicated at all.

When Li Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but ponder.

I wish I could drive that process myself.

However, Li Feng didn't have the ability to access the relevant information in the ceramics factory's archives, so he had to take leave in the afternoon to go to the large library outside to find the information.

Li Feng then went to Director Zhou's place and explained the situation to Master Deng and Director Zhou.

Director Zhou glanced at Master Deng, and then directly approved Li Feng's application to go out.

After Li Feng left.

At this moment, Director Zhou sighed to Master Deng.

“Li Feng is becoming more and more outstanding, which explains why you value him so much, Master Deng.”

At this moment, Master Deng simply smiled and said to Director Zhou.

“I saw talent in Li Feng. I felt that he was born to do this job. And even if Li Feng gets into university, according to convention, he will definitely be assigned to our factory again.”

"so what?".

“I’m not worried. Even if Li Feng leaves our ceramics factory and ends up in another department, it won’t stop him from continuing his research on ceramic painting.”

When Master Deng thought of this, he couldn't help but ask Director Zhou a question.

"By the way, isn't Li Feng on good terms with Jianjun?"

"Does Jianjun have any plans to go to university?"

At this moment, Director Zhou couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Master Deng.

“I also wanted Jianjun to go to university, but Jianjun didn’t want to. He insisted on learning pottery throwing. He wouldn’t even go to a government office when I offered him a job.”

"But this is good too. Learning some useful skills will make it easy to settle down and start a family in the future."

Upon hearing this, Master Deng nodded in affirmation.

"If you're good at pottery throwing, you can still find a good way out."

“When I first met Mr. Li, he spoke to us workers.”

When Master Deng got to this point, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

When Master Deng finished speaking, Director Zhou couldn't help but become solemn.

the other side

After leaving Director Zhou's office, Li Feng checked the time and found it was almost noon. So, after having lunch at the factory, he left the ceramics factory.

When he went to the factory, he only brought his sketchbook and pencils.

Li Feng also knew that at this time, there were no photocopies or anything like that, so he could only draw the materials by hand.

There is nothing we can do about this.

That's just how things are these days.

In the end, Li Feng spent about an afternoon drawing all the necessary materials.

At this point, Li Feng checked the time and then went straight home.

After all, it was almost six o'clock, and if he went back to the factory, he would definitely miss dinner.

Since I'm going to miss dinner, I might as well just go home.

When Li Feng returned home.

Everyone in the courtyard was greeting Li Feng.

Li Feng knew the reason for all this, so he simply nodded slightly to them.

When Li Feng entered the Intermediate People's Court, he saw Qin Huairu, who was heavily pregnant, washing a chamber pot.

When Qin Huairu saw Li Feng, she immediately greeted him with a smile.

Qin Huairu now wants to improve her relationship with Li Feng because she believes that this way, Li Feng will not cause any harm to her family.

However, Li Feng doesn't have as many ideas as Qin Huairu right now.

When Li Feng saw Qin Huairu greeting him, he simply nodded slightly to her. Then, looking at Qin Huairu's large belly, he asked...

"You're about to give birth, do you still want to work?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Qin Huairu began to explain to him.

"My mother-in-law is cooking!"

"I'm just doing what I can do."

"And I'm due to give birth in a month, so I can still do some work."

When Li Feng heard this, he didn't say anything more.

After all, Li Feng believed that Qin Huairu was a hard-working person, and he couldn't say anything about it, especially since it was someone else's family matter.

If Li Feng had a wife who was heavily pregnant, he definitely wouldn't let her do these things.

However, Qin Huairu is now a widow, and she has to do many of the chores herself.

So Li Feng nodded to Qin Huairu and then said nothing more.

Li Feng then went straight into the house.

At this moment, Qin Huairu felt much more relaxed.

Although Qin Huairu didn't understand why she was like this either.

Next

Li Feng spent the next ten days peacefully. During this time, he completed the creation of the Eighteen Arhats and fired the porcelain painting of the girl from Western Xinjiang on March 28th.

Officials from the Ministry of Culture gave unanimous praise to Li Feng's porcelain painting of a girl from western Xinjiang.

This also added a favorable element to Li Feng's evaluation materials for future promotion.

The more large projects you complete, the easier it is to get promoted.

At least that's the case in ceramic factories.

Today is Sunday, and it's also the day Fusheng is getting married.

Yesterday, Fusheng told himself that he didn't need to do anything himself, as the wedding preparations were basically all done by his relatives.

At this point, Li Feng had to admit that although Fu Sheng had few relatives, they were quite efficient in handling matters.

Since Li Feng doesn't need any help, he can just go to the wedding banquet.

So Li Feng directly gave a large red envelope containing twenty yuan.

After all, Fusheng and I started working at the same time, and we had a pretty good relationship.

So Li Feng wrapped it up for twenty yuan.

As for Wang Liu and Zhou Jianjun, they each paid fifteen yuan.

Although their salaries were not low, none of them were as high as Li Feng's.

Therefore, Li Feng was the one who took the most bread among Fu Sheng's colleagues.

Qian Fusheng is very happy this time.

He has basically achieved all his life goals; all that's left is to have a baby.

At this moment, Qian Fusheng should be the happiest person.
