Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Wang Hong listened to Zhou Miaomiao's somewhat incessant lecturing, but she didn't seem impatient at all. At this moment, Zhou Miaomiao seemed to be getting tired of talking, so she stopped walking.

At this moment, Wang Hong stopped picking up Zhou Miaomiao, and she also stopped walking.

At this moment, Zhou Miaomiao looked at Wang Hong beside her, and she felt a little helpless.

Although she explained the reasons to Wang Hong many times, it seemed to have no effect. However, Zhou Miaomiao could also tell that she didn't like to talk much. Although she communicated quite a bit with herself, she rarely communicated with others.

Aside from exchanging a few words with the workers when inspecting the machinery on the production line, Zhou Miaomiao is almost never seen communicating with others at other times.

This made Zhou Miaomiao very worried about Wang Hong's future work and life.

When Zhou Miaomiao thought of this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. At this moment, she was thinking about how to change Wang Hong's quiet personality.

the other side

Li Feng had already dialed the phone number of the dormitory supervisor at Ding Qiunan's school.

Today he finally found Ding Qiunan.

Actually, it hasn't been that long since Li Feng last contacted Ding Qiunan, but he's been working non-stop lately, which has left him feeling a bit overwhelmed.

So time quickly passed and it was almost Chinese New Year.

At that moment, Ding Qiunan, who was at Beijing Medical University, heard the dormitory supervisor say that someone had called her, and she began to wonder if the call was from Li Feng.

Because only Li Feng knew the school's phone number.

quickly!
Ding Qiunan told her roommates what she had done, and then she followed the dormitory supervisor downstairs.

When Ding Qiunan came downstairs, she put the microphone right next to her right ear.

"Hello!".

"I am Ding Qiunan."

Soon, Li Feng's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. When Ding Qiunan learned that it was Li Feng calling, she couldn't help but feel very happy.

This is probably what women in love are like.

In fact, during this month or so, Ding Qiunan still missed Li Feng very much.

However, she was busy with her studies during this time, and she didn't have Li Feng's contact information at the ceramics factory. She did call the phone number of the store near Li Feng's house, but Li Feng wasn't home at the time; he was out running around.

So she was unable to contact Li Feng.

After Li Feng returned to the courtyard house, he didn't go to the store, so the store staff forgot about it.

She was overjoyed when Li Feng called.

However, she said this to Li Feng with some anger.

"How long has it been since you last called me?"

"Where did you go?"

“Last time I called the store near your house, they said you weren’t home.”

"I remember you said something like you were working and studying at the same time, right?"

Upon hearing that Ding Qiunan was somewhat angry, Li Feng quickly began to explain to her.

"Qiunan!".

"I've been very busy lately, as you know."

"I'm currently overwhelmed with other commitments."

"And speaking of which, I've only been back at the factory for a short time."

"Let alone in the factory, I didn't even stay in school for very long."

"I've already gone to Fengtian."

When Ding Qiunan heard that Li Feng had gone to such a far place as Fengtian, she couldn't care less about blaming him. Instead, she asked him some questions out of curiosity.

"Then what are you going to Fengtian for?"

"Aren't you the deputy director of the ceramics factory?"

"Why do we have to go to such a far place?"

At this time, Ding Qiunan was unaware that Li Feng was already a section-level cadre.

At this point, Li Feng began to explain to Ding Qiunan.

"There's nothing I can do." "This is a business trip for me; I've been traveling all over the place lately."

"At that time, I was either in Fengtian, in the factory, in the Ministry of Light Industry, or in the Ministry of Industry and other places."

"I had no choice; I went with our factory manager."

"The factory manager has gone, how can I not go?"

Now Li Feng can only begin to explain to her the helplessness he felt at the time.

After all, when it comes to talking about it...

That was indeed a business trip due to a mission or similar reason.

The last time I went to Fengtian, the train journey took almost as long as the trip to Hongdu.

Although he was traveling in a sleeper berth, Li Feng really didn't want to take such a long journey; business trips were never something he wanted to do.

But there was no way to refuse, since Director Zheng had already spoken.

After hearing Li Feng's explanation, Ding Qiunan realized that she had missed out on him.

So she couldn't help but apologize to Li Feng.

"Excuse me".

"I didn't know you'd been so busy lately."

After hearing Ding Qiunan's apology, Li Feng quickly comforted her.

"Don't say sorry, I'm the one who should be apologizing."

"It's because I haven't contacted you for so long."

After saying these words, Li Feng couldn't help but think that if he had a cell phone at this moment, this wouldn't have happened.

However, mobile phones won't be available for decades to come.

However, back then, there were still large handheld telephones for short-range communication.

This phone-making device is significantly larger than a traditional mobile phone.

However, these are mostly military-grade, and their communication range is not very far.

At this moment, Li Feng was thinking that by the time mobile phones came out, he would probably be in his fifties or sixties.

Currently, the fastest way for civilians to make contact in China is by phone.

But you can't make a phone call anytime.

Even Li Feng could only call Ding Qiunan from his own office.

Otherwise, I would have to make a phone call at the supply and marketing cooperative, the post office, or a small shop.

And phone bills are ridiculously expensive.

In the end, Li Feng still benefited from the public funds.

At least when making phone calls from the office, Li Feng didn't spend a single penny.

If Li Feng makes phone calls from outside, it will still cost him a lot of money. Although Li Feng is not short of money now, he still feels a little pained to spend so much money on phone calls.

Although I have gold and other valuables, it would be difficult to liquidate them right now.

Upon hearing Li Feng's self-reproachful voice, Ding Qiunan's heart softened, and she whispered words of comfort to him.

"Don't talk about yourself like that."

"I'm not blaming you."

"Next time, I won't say anything bad about you."

After hearing Ding Qiunan's words, Li Feng knew that Ding Qiunan probably didn't care about this matter anymore, so he began to ask Ding Qiunan about yesterday's situation.

Ding Qiunan immediately began to explain.

"The school was going to do a big clean-up last night."

"Winter vacation will start in a few days."

It was only then that Li Feng realized Ding Qiunan's winter vacation was about to begin. (End of Chapter)
