Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Winter nights always pass quickly; sometimes it feels like only a short time has passed before dawn.

Li Feng usually has to get up before dawn to go to work, but today he slept until dawn.

This counts as sleeping in late.

However, he slept in really well. When it was almost nine o'clock, he got up and looked at the stove. At this time, the stove was covered with white ash, and sparks were rising from under the white ash.

In just one night, all the coal that Li Feng burned yesterday was reduced to ashes.

But this is also normal.

So after Li Feng added some coal to the stove, he took the boiling water that was constantly being heated on top of the stove and used it to brush his teeth and wash his face.

The stoves in this capital city are currently the only means of keeping warm.

Because the furnace has pipes connecting it to the outside, Li Feng doesn't need to worry about carbon dioxide poisoning.

When Li Feng left today, he still had to put out the stove.

Otherwise, it would be bad if it caused a fire.

While washing up, Li Feng saw many children playing in the yard, and he also saw the Liu brothers.

When the Liu brothers saw Li Feng, they both greeted him.

Li Feng simply nodded slightly at this.

To be honest, Li Feng didn't have much contact with the Liu brothers. If he were to say who he was familiar with, he was more familiar with Liu Haizhong.

Moreover, Li Feng had more contact with Liu Haizhong.

Just as Li Feng finished washing up and was about to go back to his room, Wen Hui pushed her cart into the courtyard. As she entered, Wen Hui saw Li Feng, who was about to go back to his room, and quickly greeted him.

After seeing Wen Hui, Li Feng asked her some questions out of curiosity.

"Huh!"

"What brings you here today?"

"I remember Sha Zhu said that we should be cooking at some leader's house today, right?"

Wen Hui nodded to Li Feng.

"yes!".

"Zhu Zi is going to some leader's house with the factory director to cook today, but I'm here with Yu Shui to buy things for our wedding."

At this moment, Li Feng suddenly remembered that Wen Hui was going to marry the mentally challenged man during the Chinese New Year.

So he couldn't help but ask Wenhui.

"What date are you and Sha Zhu's wedding scheduled for?"

"I will definitely help when the time comes."

When Wen Hui heard Li Feng's words, she was a little surprised because she didn't expect that Sha Zhu hadn't told Li Feng the wedding date. So she quickly told Li Feng.

"I will marry Shazhu on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

When Li Feng heard that Sha Zhu was getting married on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he felt relieved.

After all, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, whether at school or in the factory, I would definitely have a day off.

So he immediately smiled and nodded at Wen Hui.

"If it's the sixth day of the lunar new year, then I'll definitely have time."

"Just let me know if anything happens."

Wen Hui nodded repeatedly to Li Feng.

"Row".

"It's good that you came."

“Shazhu told me that you and he grew up together.”

"Speaking of which, you're the one in the courtyard who's closest to him."

Li Feng did not refute this.

Speaking of relationships, it seems that I have a pretty good relationship with Sha Zhu.

So he simply nodded to Wen Hui and said.

"Um!".

"That's about right."

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, He Yushui walked out of the house looking sleepy. When she saw her sister-in-law, her face immediately lit up. She then skipped over to Wen Hui and happily called her "sister-in-law."

When Wen Hui saw He Yushui, a smile appeared on her face.

Regardless, Wenhui still liked her sister-in-law very much.

So she was very happy to see He Yushui.

At this moment, He Yushui took Wen Hui's arm and asked them with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what were you and Brother Feng talking about just now?"

At this moment, Li Feng spoke directly to He Yushui.

“I just talked to Wenhui about when I will marry your brother.”

"alright!".

"It's getting late."

"I have to go to school later, so I'm going back to my room to change my clothes."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Wen Hui nodded directly to him.

"OK!".

"Then you go first."

He Yushui nodded in agreement with Wen Hui.

"Okay."

Li Feng then went back to his room.

Back in the house, Li Feng tidied up the room, then put out the stove. He packed the things he needed to take to school and put them on his bicycle.

After Li Feng finished everything, he pushed his bicycle out of the house and then locked the door.

The weather was pretty good today. Li Feng pushed his bicycle for a while, and once he reached the main road, he started riding it.

Two hours later.

Li Feng finally rode to Tsinghua University.

The first thing he did upon arriving at university was to put all his luggage in his dorm room.

However, when Li Feng arrived at the dormitory, he found that no one was there, and his roommates' blankets were all neatly folded.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but wonder where all these people had gone.

Is it because they're on holiday and they all went home?

Li Feng now feels that this is the only possibility.

After all, many schools are on holiday at this time.

After learning all this, Li Feng quickly went to the place where Professor Xiang was conducting research.

At this moment, he decided to see if he could run into Professor Xiang here.

Fortunately, Li Feng saw Professor Xiang here.

At that moment, Professor Xiang was tidying up his things, so Li Feng knocked on the open door.

Professor Xiang, who was tidying up his things, quickly looked toward the door after hearing the knock.

When he saw Li Feng, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

At this moment, he put down the items in his hand, walked up to Li Feng, and then smiled and said to Li Feng.

"Li Feng!"

"You've finally arrived."

"Your factory manager has finally agreed to release them."

Upon hearing Professor Xiang's words, Li Feng immediately felt a little embarrassed.

"Professor Xiang, our factory is at a critical juncture right now, and I need to be there for some of us."

Professor Xiang didn't seem to care. He simply nodded slightly to Li Feng and said...

"I know what's going on in your factory."

"You did a great job."

"I heard that the leaders in your department have a very high opinion of you."

Li Feng hadn't expected that Professor Xiang also knew about the Ministry of Light Industry, so he humbly said to Professor Xiang.

"I was just carrying out the task assigned to me by our factory manager."

"As for other things, I haven't thought about them too much."

Professor Xiang knew at this point that Li Feng was being modest, and he was aware of Li Feng's abilities.

So he nodded to Li Feng and said.

"Your talent is beyond question."

"So, next, you and I have an even more important battle to fight!"

"Are you mentally prepared for this now?" (End of Chapter)
