Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 219 He Yushui tells Li Feng that Banggeng stole something.

Around noon, Li Feng was eating in the cafeteria, and he kept thinking about the lithography machine.

Regarding lithography machines, they are of great help to the country, both now and in the future.

But for now, Li Feng can only keep this information and knowledge in his mind, since he can use these techniques whenever he wants in the future.

However, Li Feng was unable to provide the necessary manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Therefore, Li Feng can only speak again when the opportunity arises.

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

Just as Li Feng sighed.

Wang Liu and the others walked up to Li Feng, and then Zhou Jianjun smiled and asked Li Feng.

"Li Feng, what are you thinking about?"

"So engrossed?"

"I heard from my dad that you got your Level 4 worker certificate?"

"Is it true?"

When Li Feng heard Zhou Jianjun's voice, he couldn't help but look behind him, where he saw Wang Liu, Zhou Jianjun, and Qian Fusheng.

Upon seeing the three of them, Li Feng asked them with some surprise.

"Why are you so late?"

"I've almost finished eating lunch."

Seeing that Li Feng's answer was irrelevant, Wang Liu hooked his right arm around Li Feng's neck and then asked him with a grin.

"Don't interrupt, Jianjun just asked you a question."

"You really got your Level 4 certificate?"

Li Feng reached out and pulled Wang Liu's hand, then shook his head and replied to Wang Liu.

"I haven't received the certificate yet, but I heard from Master Deng that I was directly hired by the personnel department."

When Qian Fusheng heard Li Feng's words, he couldn't help but ask Li Feng a question out of curiosity.

"So what is your base salary now?"

“After all, you’re already a level four painter. Although we came to the factory at the same time, I’m still an apprentice.”

"well".

"When will I finally get a permanent position?"

As Qian Fusheng spoke of this, a sigh of sorrow welled up within him.

Li Feng is now a level four painter, while he is still just an apprentice, which makes him feel quite uncomfortable.

Upon hearing Qian Fusheng's words, Li Feng offered him words of comfort.

"Don't worry, with your skills, you'll definitely get a permanent position."

"Traditionally, you should be able to get a permanent position before October."

"Moreover, even at level four, the salary increase isn't much; there's a difference between the salary for a painter and that for a potter."

However, after hearing Li Feng's words of comfort, Qian Fusheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay."

"Then I can only try my best to become a first-class worker."

Next

Li Feng chatted with the others.

Of Li Feng's friends, only Qian Fusheng, who is around the same age as Li Feng, is currently married.

As for the other three, there's still no news.

Although all three of them, including Li Feng, had partners.

But marriage is still a long way off.

In other words, Wang Liu should be a little faster than Li Feng and Zhou Jianjun.

in the afternoon
Soon it was time to get off work.

Now Li Feng has also become a true master painter.

In the new color group, Li Feng's level has finally reached the same level as the other two painters in the group, which means they are both intermediate painters.

Li Feng knew that the skill level and salary for a level four painter was forty-four yuan.

Just like at the beginning, the salary for becoming a regular worker was 32 yuan, and then it increased by 4 yuan each time, with the highest level, the eighth grade worker, being 60 yuan.

However, this grade of wage is only a part of the painter's wage.

A level-four painter like Li Feng earned over a hundred yuan last month.

Last month, Li Feng was only a level three painter.

But after today, Li Feng will be a level four painter, so his basic salary will increase to forty-four yuan.

Li Feng had been very happy ever since he received the news that he had successfully advanced to the fourth level of painting.

Next

Li Feng rides his bicycle home from get off work.

When Li Feng returned to the courtyard house, he found that there were quite a few people there.

At this moment, many people in the courtyard began to greet Li Feng.

After all, they all thought Li Feng was a cadre, so they were much more polite to him.

When Li Feng pushed his bicycle to the Intermediate Court, he ran into He Yushui.

When He Yushui saw Li Feng, she immediately walked over to him and then said to him in a mysterious tone.

"Brother Feng! I have something to tell you."

"Don't tell anyone else."

At this moment, Li Feng noticed that He Yushui was acting mysteriously, so he asked her some questions out of curiosity.

"What's up?"

"Making it so mysterious."

He Yushui then pulled Li Feng aside and whispered something to him.

"Sister Qin was about to give birth yesterday."

After hearing He Yushui's words, Li Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.

Then he said to He Yushui with some helplessness.

"How could I not know this news?"

"Have you forgotten that I was here yesterday too?"

However, He Yushui nodded to Li Feng in response.

"I know, didn't you have dinner at my house last night?"

Li Feng nodded, somewhat speechless.

"Then why did you bring this up?"

At this moment, He Yushui realized that Li Feng had misunderstood her meaning, so she quickly began to explain to Li Feng.

"That's not what I meant, that's what I wanted to say!"

"Sister Qin gave birth, and she gave birth to a daughter."

"This afternoon, when I saw Grandma Jia come back to cook, she had a dark face."

"Does the old lady of the Jia family not like girls?"

When Li Feng heard this, he finally understood what He Yushui wanted to say to him.

However, when Li Feng heard that Qin Huairu had already given birth, he couldn't help but feel that the pace was really fast. No wonder she was already a mother of three.

The first and second births might be a little more difficult, but once the pelvis opens up, childbirth becomes much easier, so it's usually quicker.

But in this era, having a child is still a very dangerous thing.

After all, current medical conditions are not as good as they will be in the future.

Moreover, in this era, many children are born directly at home.

As for the reason, it's probably to save money, and other reasons are based on this.

Li Feng knew what kind of person Jia Zhangshi was.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but think that if Sha Zhu hadn't taken Qin Huairu to the hospital, it would have been normal for Jia Zhangshi to hire a midwife to deliver Qin Huairu's baby at home.

When Li Feng heard He Yushui say that Jia Zhangshi was not happy that Qin Huairu had given birth to a daughter, he said that this was normal.

Because Li Feng felt that there was nothing she couldn't do.

Then Li Feng prepared to ask Sha Zhu about other things.

So Li Feng stood in front of He Yushui and looked at the He family behind her. At this time, Li Feng did not see Sha Zhu in the He family. So Li Feng began to ask He Yushui.

"Where's your brother? I don't see him."

When He Yushui heard Li Feng's words, she did not answer Li Feng's question first, but instead asked him a question.

"Huh!"

"Aren't you surprised by what I just said?"

Li Feng asked He Yushui, somewhat puzzled.

"Does this mean that Jia Zhangshi didn't like Qin Huairu giving birth to a daughter?"

He Yushui immediately nodded to Li Feng and said.

"Yes." "Does it really have to be a son?"

Li Feng himself couldn't answer these questions.

After all, everyone has their own ideas, and one cannot represent the ideas of everyone.

So Li Feng shook his head at He Yushui and said.

"I don't know either".

"Perhaps Jia Zhangshi just liked her grandson."

"You saw how Jia Zhangshi treated Banggeng, and then how she treated Xiaodang."

After listening to Li Feng's words, He Yushui nodded in agreement.

"I understand."

"But to be honest, I don't really like boys who are like that, I feel they're a bit too mischievous."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng looked at He Yushui with some surprise and asked.

"Huh?"

"What the heck?"

"I've seen you playing with the stick before!"

"how?".

"What happened?".

So He Yushui explained to Li Feng.

“Sometimes, I take Banggeng to my classmate’s house to play, but sometimes things go missing from my classmate’s house. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but later I saw Banggeng holding some of the things that my classmate’s house had stolen in the yard, so I realized that Banggeng had taken those things that my classmate had stolen.”

"After that, I never brought a hamster to my classmate's house again."

When Li Feng heard He Yushui talk about this, he realized that Bang Geng had already developed a habit of stealing things at this time.

So Li Feng nodded to He Yushui.

"This trend cannot continue."

"If he steals when he's a kid, what will he be like when he grows up?"

"So! If you see him stealing, you should teach him a lesson."

"You're doing this for his own good. You and Qin Huairu have a good relationship, and you can't just see Qin Huairu's son go astray, can you?"

"He's stealing small things now, but who knows if he'll steal something valuable later? If that happens, he'll definitely get arrested."

Do you think what I said is right?

After listening to Li Feng's words, He Yushui felt that what Li Feng said made a lot of sense.

So she nodded to Li Feng and said.

"Brother Feng, you're right. If I let this go, I will indeed be harming him."

"If I catch him stealing next time, I'll teach him a lesson."

"I'm doing this all for Sister Qin. If Banggeng gets arrested and taken to the police station, Sister Qin will be heartbroken."

"And she only has one son."

When Li Feng heard this, he nodded to He Yushui and said...

"You can handle it yourself, I'm just telling you!"

"This kid just happened to run into me. If he had, he would have been in deep trouble."

"I'm doing this to help educate the children of the deceased Jia Dongxu."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had just asked where Sha Zhu was. How did he end up bringing up the stick again?
Then Li Feng started asking He Yushui about Sha Zhu.

Only then did He Yushui reply to Li Feng.

"My brother."

"I was called to the hospital by the old lady of the Jia family."

When Li Feng learned that Sha Zhu had actually been called to the hospital by Jia Zhangshi, he asked He Yushui with some curiosity.

"?".

"Did you go to the hospital?"

"Why did Jia Zhangshi ask your brother to go to the hospital?"

"Your brother has no relation to them whatsoever, so why are you asking him to go to the hospital?"

After hearing Li Feng's question, He Yushui answered him.

"It seems to be about being discharged from the hospital or something."

"And my brother even had to take Sister Qin to our compound."

When Li Feng heard He Yushui's words, he felt somewhat helpless.

There are so many people in this courtyard, yet she insists on looking for only Sha Zhu. There are so many people from the Liu and Yan families, but she doesn't even call them.

Li Feng thought that Sha Zhu was being a little too helpful.

Then Li Feng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu really couldn't break up?
However, Qin Huairu was admitted to the hospital yesterday and will be discharged soon, so she probably only stayed in the hospital for one day.

And she was already pregnant.

This Jia Zhangshi really went to great lengths to save money.

It's only because Qin Huairu is tough and can endure this injustice that she's able to survive. If it were anyone else, they would have already started a fight.

However, this also illustrates the Qin family's weakness.

If her family had been any more assertive, Jia Zhangshi wouldn't have dared to do this.

However, this is someone else's family matter, and it has nothing to do with me.

So Li Feng didn't care anymore.

As for what happens to Qin Huairu in the end, that's none of my business.

Then Li Feng nodded to He Yushui and said.

"oh!".

"I see."

"Your brother must have had a tough time, alright!"

"It's getting late, I need to go back and rest."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he prepared to push his bicycle back to his house.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with him, so when Li Feng learned that Sha Zhu had gone to help Jia Zhangshi bring Qin Huairu back, he was quite surprised.

Li Feng had no further questions.

So Li Feng wanted to go back and rest.

Li Feng has been quite tired lately. Although there haven't been any big jobs, the piecework is enough for him.

So Li Feng has been painting some porcelain vases lately.

Fortunately, the shape and the image are the same.

Li Feng didn't find drawing too difficult, so he drew very quickly, about one a day.

Previously, Li Feng could paint two porcelain slabs a day for a similar number of pieces, but now even he can only manage one a day.

The difficulty levels are completely different.
Because the surface of the vase is not flat, you need to overcome the curves of the vase when drawing.

That's why it takes so long to draw.

But for now, it's alright.

At least it didn't give Li Feng any reason to think about it.

After returning home from the divorce, Sha Zhu had already arrived at Hongxing Hospital.

at this time!

Sha Zhu was helping Qin Huairu with her discharge procedures.

When Sha Zhu was told that he needed to pay another five yuan, he was a little confused.

Because Sha Zhu doesn't have any money on him right now.

So he couldn't help but start asking the nurse.

"Huh."

"You want more money?"

"Didn't I pay the money before?"

"Why do I have to pay more?"

At this point, the nurse explained to Sha Zhu.

"You paid a deposit of 20 yuan before, and now you still owe 5 yuan."

"Hurry up and pay the money."

Hearing what the nurse said, Sha Zhu had no choice but to go to the ward to ask Jia Zhangshi for money.

After all, Sha Zhu didn't bring any money with him.

If you don't have money, you can't get discharged from the hospital. Even if you sneak out, you'll definitely be caught.

Moreover, Sha Zhu felt that Qin Huairu wasn't his wife, so why should he ask someone else to lend him money when he didn't have any?

Previously, he had paid twenty yuan out of his own pocket without asking Jia Zhangshi for it back. This time, Sha Zhu decided to take the opportunity to ask Jia Zhangshi for the twenty yuan he had paid for medical expenses.
