Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 222 Qin Huairu, who was bullied by her mother-in-law
the other side

Jia family
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was tidying up at home. Because of Qin Huairu giving birth, Jia Zhangshi had been quite busy these past two days, so the house was a bit messy.

Moreover, with Bang Geng and Xiao Dang at home, the house is even more of a mess.

Because, whether it's Little Dang or Bang Geng, if no one's home, then they'll be the undisputed king.

So it's normal for the house to be messy.

However, Madam Jia was too reluctant to say anything, so she could only follow behind and clean up.

After all, this isn't the first or second time something like this has happened.

So Jia Zhangshi herself got used to it.

Although Jia Zhangshi was reluctant to say anything about Bang Geng, she was willing to say something about Qin Huairu. Moreover, she had just seen Qin Huairu flirting with Sha Zhu, and now, thinking about it, Jia Zhangshi was furious.

So, while tidying up the house, Madam Jia Zhang gave Qin Huairu a stern warning.

“My son has only been gone for a short time. I advise you to put away your little thoughts. No matter what, you can’t let my son down.”

"If it weren't for my son, how would you have had the chance to come to the capital?"

"You should just go to work honestly and raise Bang Geng and the others, otherwise..."

"Just wait and see how I deal with you."

Lying in bed, Qin Huairu, pale-faced, felt extremely wronged.

After all, Qin Huairu didn't think she had anything to do with Sha Zhu, and she even wanted to please Li Feng's girlfriend for the sake of the Jia family. Was she wrong to do that?
When Qin Huairu thought of this, her eyes involuntarily began to redden.

But then she saw Bang Geng and Xiao Dang looking at their daughter, whom they had given birth to the day before, next to the cradle.

At this moment, she didn't want Bang Geng and Xiao Dang to see her cry, so she could only suppress the urge to cry.

At this point, she could only silently lower her head and remain silent.

Banggeng and Xiaodang didn't understand what their grandmother and mother were saying; at that moment, their attention was entirely on the baby.

At this moment, Banggeng gently rocked the cradle while curiously asking his mother a question.

"mom".

"What's your sister's name?"

After Bang Geng finished speaking, Xiao Dang nodded and asked.

"yes!".

"What's your sister's name?"

When Qin Huairu heard what her children said, she was stunned.

Although she felt wronged, she thought about it for a moment and then responded to her children.

"It's April now, which is also the time when locust flowers bloom, so let's call it locust flower."

When Banggeng and Xiaodang heard their little sister's name was Huaihua, they couldn't help but happily call out to their little sister in the cradle.

"Locust flowers!"

"Locust flowers."

Banggeng and Xiaodang called out their younger sister Huaihua's name while teasing her.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi, who was tidying up the house, didn't care what Qin Huairu's newborn baby girl should be named.

Anyway, it's a girl.

If it were a boy, she would definitely ask Qin Huairu to let her choose this name.

So she didn't care that Qin Huairu had named the third son Huaihua.

However, she regrets that her third child is not a boy. If it were a boy, her son's lineage would have continued even further.

Now, the only way for the family to continue the family line is by relying on pheasants.

Madam Jia is now hoping that Banggeng will grow up quickly, get married and have children, and continue the Jia family line.

This is what Jia Zhangshi most wants to see right now.

Because her son is gone, she can only hope for a son.

After teasing the locust flowers, Banggeng got hungry, so he went to the living room outside the bedroom and then said to his grandmother in a spoiled manner.

"grandmother!".

"I'm hungry."

"I'm so hungry."

While tidying up the house, Jia Zhangshi heard her beloved grandson say he was hungry, so she immediately stopped what she was doing and then smiled at Banggeng.

"Grandma is going to cook for my precious grandson right away."

"You wait here, Grandma will go and cook for you."

After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, she went to cook with a smile.

As long as Jia Zhangshi can satisfy the demands of the stick, she will generally be happy to do it.

So she was still very happy to cook for Bang Geng.

the other side

An old man here.

At this moment, the old man also learned that Qin Huairu had given birth to a girl. He was sitting in the main room when he looked at the old woman not far away and said...

"Old woman, Qin Huairu has given birth. Do you think we should send some things over?"

The older woman then turned her gaze to the older man, and then she couldn't help but sigh.

"Qin Huairu is also a pitiful person."

"However, the Jia family is a bottomless pit now, how much can we help them?"

"We still have to live our lives, don't we?"

"How about this?"

"Let's send ten eggs over."

"After all, this represents our goodwill, and Qin Huairu needs to supplement her nutrition during her postpartum period."

"Before Qin Huairu gave birth, I saw that she didn't even eat much cornmeal."

"How can her body withstand that?"

"Her body was so weak."

"If only she were our daughter!"

An old man sighed at this moment.

"Unfortunately, it isn't."

"Forget it! I don't want to think about it."

"Wait a minute, you can take the eggs over there."

The older woman nodded in response to the older man.

"Row".

After the old man finished speaking, he went to the kitchen, took ten eggs, and put them in a small basket. Then she lifted the curtain and said something to the old man.

"Then I'll go."

An old man nodded.

"Go."

Before long, the older woman arrived at the Jia family's house.

Just then, an older woman saw Jia Zhangshi making cornmeal and said to her with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you're cooking!"

When Jia Zhangshi saw that it was an older woman, she couldn't help but smile and invite her over.

"How about we grab something to eat together?"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's invitation, the older woman quickly waved her hand and said no.

"Need not!".

"Need not!".

Then the older woman placed the small basket she had brought on the stove, and then she lifted the blue and white patterned cloth covering the eggs.

After lifting the floral cloth, the old woman began to speak to Jia Zhangshi.

"Didn't Huairu give birth?"

"These eggs are a token of our appreciation."

"Make some steamed egg custard or something for Huairu to nourish her body later."

When Jia Zhangshi saw the basket of eggs in front of her, her eyes widened, but she still politely declined to the older woman.

"How can this be allowed?"

"We feel bad accepting it."

After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, her eyes were still fixed on the eggs in the basket in front of her.

But the older woman was advising Jia Zhangshi.

"This is a token of my husband's and my affection. If you don't accept it, I'll be very unhappy."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi quickly accepted the basket of eggs.

Then Jia Zhangshi quickly put the eggs from the basket into her own wooden basin.

After all, things like collecting eggs involve putting the eggs in your own containers.

After delivering the eggs, the woman went straight home.

Anyway, she was just there to deliver eggs.

After the old woman left, Jia Zhangshi put two eggs directly into the cornmeal.

Of course, these eggs weren't for Qin Huairu. She's hooking up with Sha Zhu, so why would I cook eggs for her?

This egg is of course laid for my precious grandson, and the other one is for myself.

After Jia Zhangshi and the others boiled the eggs, she put them directly into a bowl and ate them.

Now there was only one egg left in the pot. Then Jia Zhangshi divided the cornmeal in the pot into four bowls, and then Jia Zhangshi carried the bowls of cornmeal into the room.

Then, Madam Jia Zhang coldly looked at Qin Huairu in the room.

"Eat up." After saying that, Madam Jia Zhang said to Xiao Dang.

"You eat with your mother, and you stay here to serve her."

After hearing her grandmother's words, Xiao Dang quickly responded.

"it is good".

Seeing that Xiao Dang and his mother had food, Bang Geng said to Jia Zhangshi with some anxiety.

"Grandma, I'm hungry too!"

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi pulled Banggeng's hand and then led Banggeng directly to the kitchen.

She then handed the cornmeal with the egg directly to Banggeng, and then smiled and said to Banggeng.

"Eat it."

At this moment, Banggeng looked at the cornmeal in his bowl and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"egg.".

Jia Zhangshi said to Banggeng with a smile.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

Banggeng quickly nodded happily to Jia Zhangshi.

"Grandma is so kind!"

"I love my grandma the most."

After saying that, Banggeng quickly picked up the cornmeal and started eating the egg inside.

The next day
early morning
Li Feng woke up very early.

At this time, the weather gradually warmed up, so Li Feng no longer needed to wear as many layers as he did in winter.

After washing up, Li Feng put on a light jacket and pushed his bicycle away from the courtyard to go to work.

Li Feng arrived at the factory quickly.

After having breakfast in the canteen, he went straight to the workshop.

At that time, the new color group didn't have many people.

So Li Feng arrived quite early.

So Li Feng simply took the thermos and poured himself a cup of hot water.

Just as Li Feng was about to sit down at his workstation to drink water, Zhang Jiefang suddenly approached him and said excitedly.

"Do you know?"

"Little Hou from the Qinghua Group is back."

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but ask Zhang Jiefang in a puzzled tone.

"Young Master Hou?"

"Who is it?"

Seeing that Li Feng didn't understand who it was, Zhang Jiefang quickly explained to Li Feng.

"Little Hou, Hou Yun."

"It's the one who went to Jingdezhen for further studies last time."

When Li Feng heard this, he remembered that it was the person Master Deng had mentioned who was very talented.

However, Li Feng realized that the time was a bit off, so he asked Zhang Jiefang with some confusion.

"Wait a minute, something's not right."

"Wasn't it supposed to be a year of advanced study?"

"Why are you back so soon?"

At this moment, Zhang Jiefang counted on his fingers, and then he looked at Li Feng with a puzzled expression.

"Is that right?"

"They should be coming back around this time."

"That's right!"

"When it comes to the next batch, Master Deng will most likely send you over."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng asked Zhang Jiefang somewhat nervously.

"You're going to be gone for a year?"

Zhang Jiefang shook his head, then answered Li Feng.

"There's no such good opportunity. This time, it'll be at most a month."

"Do you think those master chefs in the South have that much time to instruct you?"

"That's right!"

"I only said that I might send you there, but whether you can actually go is still unknown."

"However, I do want to go."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sure!"

"Then let's go."

"If I have the chance to go, I'll let you have it."

When Zhang Jiefang heard that Li Feng was willing to give up his chance to go to Jingdezhen, he couldn't help but express his surprise to Li Feng.

"Are you really willing to give it to me?"

Li Feng then nodded to Zhang Jiefang in response.

"Of course!"

"Would I lie to you?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

Zhang Jiefang thought for a moment, then shook his head at Li Feng and said.

No, not at all.

When Zhang Jiefang saw that Li Feng was truly willing to give him the opportunity, he couldn't help but thank Li Feng.

"Brother Li Feng, thank you so much."

"Then I'll treat you to dinner."

Li Feng waved to Zhang Jiefang and said.

"No need for that. Just study hard in Jingdezhen."

At this moment, Zhang Jiefang suddenly said to Li Feng with some nervousness.

"What if Master Deng disagrees?"

When Li Feng heard this, he started asking Zhang Jiefang questions.

"Are you sure it's Master Deng who can decide who goes?"

Zhang Jiefang nodded and said.

"yes.".

“Every year, the factory would ask Master Deng who he would send.”

Li Feng then asked Zhang Jiefang.

"Who from our group went last year?"

Zhang Jiefang shook his head and then explained to Li Feng.

“Last year, no one in our group went.”

Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately became somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't go?"

"Shouldn't each group send a few people?"

“How could our new color team not go?”

Li Feng was somewhat skeptical of this.

Zhang Jiefang, however, explained to Li Feng.

"That's how it is, you know that too!"

"Our new color group only has a few people. Han Ming and the others were temporarily transferred from other groups such as the pastel color group."

"So last year, it was just me and Jiang Fei in our group."

“Master Deng was afraid that we would embarrass him, so he didn’t let us go last year.”

"Moreover, the time each group and each person spends varies. Some spend as little as a month, while others, like Hou Yun, spend almost a year."

"However, in my memory, Hou Yun should have been there the longest."

At this moment, Li Feng asked Zhang Jiefang with some doubt.

"How long do most of them stay?"

Zhang Jiefang thought for a moment, then answered Li Feng.

"About a month."

"Anyway, I will try to improve myself if I have the opportunity."

"After all, there are many unique techniques in that area."

"So many people want to go, but there are only so many spots available."

"If I can go, then my life will have been worthwhile."

When Zhang Jiefang got to this point, a longing look appeared on his face.

At this moment, Li Feng took a deep breath, then nodded to Zhang Jiefang and said.

Don't worry.

“If Master Deng asks me to go, I will definitely let you go.”
