Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Around 8 p.m., Li Feng had dinner in Ding Qiunan's dormitory and then left.

Ding Qiunan plans to spend the Chinese New Year in Beijing this time.

So Li Feng invited Ding Qiunan to his home during the Spring Festival.

That way, it'll be more lively.

The nights in Beijing can be very cold in winter.

The dormitory of Hongxing Hospital is not far from Nanluoguxiang.

Even this short distance made Li Feng tremble.

Especially the hand holding the dragon's head, it seemed to have lost all feeling.

Moreover, just as Li Feng rode his bicycle to the entrance of Nanluoguxiang, it started to snow.

Although it was dark, it was still clearly visible under the lights at the gates of each house.

It sounded like the soft rustling of snow falling on the ground, and Li Feng heard it very clearly.

After seeing the snow, Li Feng quickly rode his bike to the courtyard house.

The courtyard is relatively quiet at this moment.

This is probably because we passed the restaurant.

Li Feng didn't care about it. In fact, it was better to be quiet so that he could get some rest.

To be honest, Li Feng prefers a quiet environment.

After returning home.

Li Feng simply put the bicycle aside.

Then he quickly got the fire going.

For someone like Li Feng who is sensitive to the cold, the first thing he would do when he gets home is to start a fire.

After starting the fire, Li Feng began to pack some of the thick clothes he wore at school.

Tomorrow, I'll start working.

Li Feng needs to complete the tasks he assigned to the professor last time as soon as possible.

Li Feng knew that these tasks could definitely be completed before the end of the year.

time flies.

Soon it came to the night of New Year's Eve, February 14, 1961.

Yesterday, after Li Feng handed over the collected data to Professor Xiang, he couldn't help but marvel at how quickly Li Feng had gathered the information.

Moreover, all of this information was compiled by Li Feng.

Some of the data inside can be used directly.

After Professor Xiang received the materials, he gave Li Feng a year-end leave.

He also instructed Li Feng to return to school on February 26.

In other words, Li Feng now has more than ten days of vacation.

In that case, Li Feng can finally get some rest.

It was already around 7 p.m.

At this moment, Li Feng brought Ding Qiunan from his home to Sha Zhu's place.

Previously, Li Feng and Sha Zhu had agreed to spend the New Year together.

After all, Sha Zhu is quite skilled at cooking, so this way I won't have to cook anymore.

When Li Feng brought Ding Qiunan to Sha Zhu's house, Sha Zhu and Wen Hui were busy cooking in the kitchen.

At this moment, Ding Qiunan offered to help in the kitchen.

Li Feng thought for a moment, and then he said to Ding Qiunan.

"Let's go together then."

After all, Li Feng would feel awkward if he didn't do anything while eating at Sha Zhu's house.

So the two of them started helping out with cooking at Sha-zhu's place.

As for He Yushui, she was sent away by Sha Zhu to do other things.

There are many things to do during the Chinese New Year.

Like cleaning or something.

He Yushui was also responsible for tasks like pasting up couplets.

As for helping with cooking or anything like that, He Yushui doesn't need to do that.

the other side

Qin Huairu's home.

At this time, she was at home preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

As for Jia Zhangshi, he was released from the detention center, but he did not reflect on his actions while in detention. At this time, he harbored deep resentment towards Li Feng and Sha Zhu.

She believed that Li Feng and Sha Zhu were responsible for her being detained, and she never considered that she herself was at fault.

At this point, all she knew was that her two trips to the police station were caused by the two of them.

Therefore, Jia Zhangshi believed that this debt should definitely be attributed to the two of them.

At this moment, she couldn't help but crane her neck and look out the window. She saw that Sha Zhu's house was brightly lit and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat. This made her even more resentful.

Why do they live so well and often get to eat meat?

And the fact that I'm living such a miserable life is all because of those two.

Now, Jia Zhangshi really wants to deal with Sha Zhu and Li Feng, but she can only think about it for now. If she were to fight them herself, she would be no match for them.

Last time, I originally wanted to teach Li Feng a lesson, but I ended up getting beaten up by him instead.

So at this moment, she couldn't help but wonder if there were any other ways to deal with Li Feng.

Jia Family Kitchen
At this time, Jia Zhangshi finally finished preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

She couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

At this point, she felt much better since her mother-in-law was released.

Although I am often targeted by my mother-in-law, overall, with her helping me take care of the child, I only need to focus on going to work and cooking.

Life was tough, but we managed to get by.

After her mother-in-law was detained in a detention center, Qin Huairu was extremely busy.

She had to work while also taking care of her child and cooking, which had exhausted her a lot lately.

Although she misses the time when Jia Dongxu was still around.

But she eventually had to face reality.

The reality is that she still has to bring her child to work.

After her mother-in-law was released, she felt that she could finally relax a little.

Although Qin Huairu's days at the factory are not as arduous as before, she still feels very tired.

of course!

This kind of exhaustion is more of a mental one.

After all, Qin Huairu is still not capable of doing any work related to fitting.

Qin Huairu felt she had tried her best, but it just didn't work.

Fortunately, she now has an old man protecting her, so no one makes things too difficult for her.

Currently, the old man can only teach her while working.

This is also something that can't be helped.

With so much to do, if one person does less, then others will have to do more.

This is an eternal truth.

At this time, after Qin Huairu finished preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, she quickly put the dishes on the table, and then she asked Banggeng to call her grandmother to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

When Banggeng saw the meat on the table, he grabbed a piece from the bowl and put it in his mouth without even washing his hands.

After seeing Bang Geng's actions, Qin Huairu lightly patted Bang Geng's hand and then said to him somewhat reproachfully.

"You started eating before everyone else had even started."

"Hurry up and call Grandma over for dinner."

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Banggeng reluctantly went to call Jia Zhangshi.

The current guy is just eager to get to the point where he can eat meat.

During the Chinese New Year, each family in the courtyard had a good meal.

For example, Sha Zhu, Li Feng, and Grandpa Xu Damao.

Those who didn't eat very well were only the second and third uncles and the Jia family.

They have a large family.

Only one or two people actually make money.

Some of them had just started working.

In the Jia family, only Qin Huairu works.

It's because Qin Huairu is the only one in their family who can work, but even if Bang Geng can work in the future, finding a job won't be easy.

Even if it was Qin Huairu, she was just filling in for Jia Dongxu.

Whether Bang Geng will have a job in the future is really hard to say.

It's possible that one could spend their entire life in the countryside during the "Sent-Down to the Countryside" movement. (End of Chapter)
