Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 226 The thoughtful Ding Qiunan?

After discussing the trip to Hongdu with Ding Qiunan, Li Feng asked her about her recent situation. Since they had been separated for so long, Li Feng felt he needed to catch up, so he directly asked Ding Qiunan about it.

Ding Qiunan didn't answer Li Feng for the time being. Instead, she stood up and walked to a table next to the preparation room. She poured Li Feng a glass of water, and after he accepted the water, she sat down next to him.

Then she couldn't help but jokingly say to Li Feng.

"Now you've remembered to ask me?"

"Have some water first!"

"You've been talking so much, you must be thirsty."

After saying this, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but smile at Li Feng.

Li Feng was a little embarrassed to say this to Ding Qiunan.

"I do seem a little thirsty."

"I just realized I'm a little thirsty. You're so thoughtful."

When Li Feng got to this point, he no longer seemed embarrassed, so he picked up his teacup and started drinking.

have to say
Li Feng felt that Ding Qiunan was quite considerate at this moment, at least she knew he was thirsty, although Li Feng himself hadn't even noticed it, but Ding Qiunan had.

After Li Feng finished drinking the water, he put the cup aside and then smiled at Ding Qiunan.

"Um!".

"I finished drinking it, and it was quite thirst-quenching."

After saying this, Li Feng wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Ding Qiunan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Li Feng's expression, and then smiled at him.

"Wipe your mouth with your sleeve, that's so dirty."

"Take my handkerchief and wipe it."

After Ding Qiunan finished speaking, she took out a white handkerchief embroidered with silk flowers from the pocket of her white coat, and then wiped Li Feng's mouth with the handkerchief.

Ding Qiunan helped Li Feng wipe the water stains while reminding him.

"From now on, whether you're eating or drinking, don't wipe your mouth with your sleeve anymore, okay?"

"You must pay attention to hygiene, because many diseases start from poor hygiene."

At this moment, Ding Qiunan started chattering away to Li Feng like a magpie. Although Ding Qiunan kept reminding Li Feng of these things, Li Feng did not feel annoyed.

This might be related to the fact that I am no longer single.

At this moment, Li Feng sat up straight and began to listen carefully to what Ding Qiunan was saying.

Seeing Li Feng's serious expression, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but ask him a question with some confusion.

"Why are you listening to me so attentively today?"

"You weren't like this before?"

Li Feng asked Ding Qiunan with some curiosity.

"What was I like before?"

Because Li Feng felt that although he had spent a considerable amount of time with Ding Qiunan, the memories were still vivid.

Li Feng honestly couldn't quite remember!
Did I leave a deep impression on Ding Qiunan before?

At this moment, Li Feng's curiosity was piqued by Ding Qiunan. That's how people are; they always like to hear about things that pique their curiosity.

Although there's a saying that curiosity killed the cat, humans are animals that don't listen to advice. Li Feng thinks he probably belongs to this type of person, but he is also someone who has some self-control.

At this moment, Ding Qiunan, who was sitting next to Li Feng, began to recall her past with Li Feng, and then she began to answer Li Feng.

"There are many things that are impressive."

"However, it was when you were teaching me English that I was most deeply influenced."

When Li Feng heard Ding Qiunan's answer, he felt somewhat ashamed.

Isn't this similar to visiting a teacher?

Speaking of which, I do have the qualities of a teacher, so how come I haven't noticed it?

Li Feng was somewhat puzzled. Although he had some experience teaching Ding Qiunan English, he knew that he was still far from being a good teacher.

So Li Feng said to Ding Qiunan with some helplessness.

"It seems that I am most memorable to you when I am at my most serious."

"From now on, I'd better be more serious with you."

"In that case, you will always remember it."

However, after listening to Li Feng's words, Ding Qiunan thought about it seriously for a moment, and then she nodded seriously to Li Feng.

"It's not that it's impossible, but it feels a bit strange. Don't you think it would be awkward to live together like this?"

Living together?
Li Feng was the first to hear this. If that's the case, wouldn't we be able to live together in a courtyard house?

As for why we don't stay in the dormitory, it's because it seems that only single people can stay there, and if you have family members, you definitely can't stay in the dormitory.

This is the hospital's rule, so Li Feng's first thought was to stay in a courtyard house.

However, Li Feng still prefers detached houses or apartment buildings.

However, these are not realistic for Li Feng at the moment.

As far as Li Feng knew, the ceramics factory did not currently have a policy for building housing. If there was an opportunity to be allocated housing, Li Feng would still try his best to secure it.

That way, it would be much quieter than living in a courtyard house.

However, the matter of building a house is not something I can decide. Not to mention that the factory has not built any houses, even if it has, it is uncertain whether I will be allocated one.

Generally speaking, at this time, housing is allocated according to seniority.

Li Feng believes that with his current length of service, it will be quite difficult to get a house.

Difficulties are inevitable, but they still need to be solved by people. So, if given the opportunity, Li Feng will seize it firmly.

However, the house hasn't been built yet, so Li Feng hasn't thought about it too much. He only thinks about living in the new house occasionally.

However, since Ding Qiunan had just mentioned living together, Li Feng immediately smiled and said to Ding Qiunan.

"If we live together, does your workplace provide housing?"

Li Feng knew that his workplace hadn't built any new housing yet, so he wanted to ask Ding Qiunan if there was any opportunity for her at the hospital.

However, after hearing Li Feng's words, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but gently shake her head at him.

"If the company provides housing, then it has nothing to do with me. I'm just an intern doctor, not a full-fledged one."

"Unless I get into medical school, because I came from a training program, I might end up working in a lower-level hospital or a township clinic."

After hearing Ding Qiunan's words, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Then, Li Feng began to encourage Ding Qiunan.

"I believe in you, you will definitely get into university."

"After you graduate from university, you will definitely become a doctor."

When Ding Qiunan heard Li Feng's encouragement, she couldn't help but smile and thank him.

"Thank you".

Li Feng smiled and waved his hand.

"No need to thank me."

"If your workplace doesn't provide housing in the future, then just move into my courtyard house."

"The place I live in is quite spacious; it's perfectly fine for two people to live there."

"As for the area, it's probably a bit bigger than your dorm room."

Then, as if he had thought of something, Li Feng spoke to Ding Qiunan again.

"How about this?"

"If you marry me in the future, will you be used to living in a tenement-like place?" However, Ding Qiunan only heard the first three words from Li Feng: "Marry me."

A blush rose on Ding Qiunan's face at this moment.

At this moment, Ding Qiunan felt her face getting hot, and then she said to Li Feng somewhat shyly.

"When did I say I wanted to marry you?"

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then asked Ding Qiunan with some confusion.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to live with me?"

"How can we live together if we don't get married?"

In cities of this era, if you engage in promiscuous relationships, you might get arrested.

Although there are many such cases, Li Feng did not want to take the risk because he believed it was completely unnecessary.

Anyway, getting a marriage certificate is just a small matter for Li Feng, provided that Ding Qiunan is willing.

If Ding Qiunan is unwilling, then Li Feng has no choice.

Unless force is used, but Li Feng is not that kind of person.

Although Li Feng thought this way, Ding Qiunan wondered if Li Feng wanted to marry her now.

Wouldn't that be too fast?
Although Ding Qiunan knew many people who got married after only a few meetings, she wanted to wait a little longer, or rather, date for a while.

At this moment, a lot of information flashed through Ding Qiunan's mind.

Of course, some of them got married.

She did want to get married, but she wanted to date Li Feng for a while before getting married.

That's what she's thinking right now.

Seeing that Ding Qiunan didn't speak, Li Feng put on a stern face and said somewhat unhappily.

"Don't you want to?"

Seeing that Li Feng was somewhat unhappy, Ding Qiunan immediately explained to him.

"I didn't say I didn't want to, but you still have to take me to see a movie or go for a walk in the park or something."

"My colleagues' partners have all taken them to see movies."

After listening to Ding Qiunan's explanation, Li Feng nodded slightly to her.

"Watching a movie is easy, isn't it?"

"Then I'll take you there today."

"Anyway, there will be a movie to watch at the cinema tonight."

However, Ding Qiunan shook her head at Li Feng and said...

"I'm afraid there won't be time today, because no one is willing to switch shifts with me. If you had told me earlier, I could have discussed switching shifts with my colleagues sooner."

Seeing that he wouldn't be able to watch a movie today, Li Feng immediately waved to Ding Qiunan.

"If it doesn't work today, then let's do it next time!"

"Anyway, I'll be back in a month. When I get back, I'll probably have some free time, and then I'll take you to see a movie."

At this point, Ding Qiunan could only nod helplessly to Li Feng.

"Alright!"

"I'm really not used to you being gone for so long this time."

Li Feng said to Ding Qiunan with a smile.

"Then I'll take a picture of myself next time, and you can just look at my photo."

However, Ding Qiunan simply shook her head at Li Feng and said...

"I don't want to see any photos, I just want you to look at me more."

"Besides, you yourself said that you're not some kind of cadre, so can't you just come and visit me more often?"

"If I have time, I can come to your house."

"If I were to go to your house, you wouldn't say you don't have time, would you?"

After hearing what Ding Qiunan said, Li Feng immediately nodded to her.

"become".

"When I get back from the south, I'll do exactly what you said."

By the time Li Feng returned home from Ding Qiunan's place, it was almost afternoon. Li Feng and Ding Qiunan ate lunch in the cafeteria.

When Li Feng and Ding Qiunan went to the cafeteria, many people cast surprised glances at Li Feng.

Li Feng was no longer interested in this.

After having lunch with Ding Qiunan at noon and chatting for a while, Li Feng suggested that he go back to pack his luggage and leave Beijing in the next two days.

Since Li Feng was chatting with Ding Qiunan in the standby room, he didn't do anything.

So he left after a short while.

After Li Feng returned home, he began to pack his luggage.

I don't need to bring much stuff for this trip to the south; I just need to bring a change of clothes.

As for the other things needed.

Li Feng simply threw it into his own space. After all, such a useful thing as a personal space was something Li Feng had no reason not to use.

So Li Feng finally prepared a suitcase full of things, and inside it were just a few clothes. As for anything else in the suitcase, there was nothing at all.

After Li Feng finished packing his things, he didn't have anything else to do.

After all, we've done most of what we needed to do.

Nighttime
Li Feng just cooked a simple dish at home to get by.

Li Feng originally wanted to go to Sha Zhu's house for a free meal, but it seemed that neither Sha Zhu nor his sister were home.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but guess that Sha Zhu and his sister must have gone to Wen Hui's place, otherwise they wouldn't have anywhere else to go.

So Li Feng had to cook for himself.

I have to say, my own cooking is never as good as Sha Zhu's.

After having a quick and easy dinner, Li Feng sat at the table by the window and looked at the stars outside.

At this moment, Li Feng felt very peaceful.

However, Li Feng didn't enjoy the peace for long before it was shattered by the baby's cries.

Upon hearing the baby's cries, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but think to himself.

The moment Qin Huairu's child was born, things got really messy.

If the child cries, I can hear it perfectly well from here. The soundproofing here is only slightly better than Sha Zhu's place, but not by much.

and so!
Li Feng had lost interest in looking at the stars, so he simply closed the window.

At this point, Li Feng could only go to sleep.

next morning
Li Feng went to work at the ceramics factory early in the morning.

When Li Feng arrived at the factory, Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei excitedly informed him that they would be in the conference room at nine o'clock for a meeting.

Seeing their excited expressions, Li Feng guessed that the meeting must be related to the trip to Jingdezhen.

After responding to the two, Li Feng went to tidy up his paintbrushes.

Since he was going to learn a craft, Li Feng definitely had to bring his tools of the trade. As for paints and such, they were not important. The most important thing was the bamboo bag for holding paintbrushes and colored pencils.
