Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

With the purchase agreement settled, Zhou Feng leisurely took out a piece of pork belly wrapped in newspaper from the cloth bag he carried with him.

Although it's only two fingers wide, it weighs at least a pound and a half.

Moreover, the pork is clearly divided into layers of fat and lean meat, with the bottom layer of fat being a finger's thickness, glistening with oil!

It looks like a high-quality product taken from a fat pig weighing three or four hundred pounds!

Meat of this quality is rare in the entire city of Beiping!

"Tsk tsk tsk... Brother Zhou, are those two slices of pork you mentioned the same quality?"

Li Huaide's eyes lit up. Although he wasn't exactly a gourmet, he could still tell how good the meat was!

"I can't say for sure, but I specifically picked this one out for you, Brother Li!"

Zhou Feng smiled and placed the meat behind Li Huaide's desk. The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word.

Pork belly of this quality, whether sliced ​​and grilled or cut into chunks and stewed, will fill the whole yard with its aroma!

Even the large slices of pork belly at the famous "Southern Wan and Northern Ji" barbecue restaurants might not be as good as this!

Don't be fooled by the fact that they are a century-old brand; when it comes to barbecue, the most important thing is the quality of the meat!

Even so, the barbecue at both of these places is still ridiculously expensive!

"Brother, you should go about your business. I'll have your sister-in-law prepare some good dishes later. Remember to come over for dinner!"

With this high-quality meat, Li Huaide had even more confidence in Zhou Feng and patted him affectionately on the shoulder.

Being sworn brothers in the factory is just for show, but if you invite someone to your home for dinner, then you really treat them like family!

Zhou Feng naturally understood the ins and outs of the matter and agreed with a smile.

After he left, Li Huaide sat in his chair and pondered for a long time. Finally, he got up to make sure no one was outside before dialing the number of that leader.

"Sir, this is Li Huaide from the Third Steel Rolling Mill! Yes, yes, it's about Comrade Zhou Feng... Here's the situation... Okay, okay... I understand... Don't worry, sir!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Huaide's eyes widened, and his chest heaved with excitement.

Inviting Zhou Feng to my home for dinner was definitely the right move!

Supplies of unknown origin like these are normally considered high-risk items, and dealing with them would definitely result in punishment.

But when Zhou Feng's name was reported to his superiors, the leader, known for his impartiality, actually chose to turn a blind eye...

No, that's not right. That leader asked him to cooperate with Zhou Feng!

This isn't just a simple nephew-niece relationship! It's clearly like they're protecting each other as family!

Regardless of Zhou Feng's previous identity, from now on, in Li Huaide's eyes, he is his own brother, a blood relative!

"Hey! Comrade Zhou Feng!"

As soon as Zhou Feng stepped out of the steel rolling mill gate, he heard a clear female voice coming from the side.

He turned his head and saw a girl in a floral-patterned jacket waving at him.

"Who are you…"

"My name is Qin Jingru, and my sister lives in the same courtyard as you!"

Unlike the original story, where Qin Jingru returned to her hometown and didn't return to Beiping until after the New Year, this story is different.

This time, Qin Jingru was like an innocent young girl who had met a free-spirited and rebellious teenager; she was immediately attracted to Zhou Feng.

In addition, his young age and the way he acted as a brother to the leaders of the steel mill made the country girl's heart flutter even more.

Most importantly, after she came back from watching the movie, she made a special inquiry and found out that Zhou Feng didn't have a girlfriend yet!

So this time she didn't even tell her cousin, and slipped into the city with her relatives again.

However, this time she could only make a round trip in one day, so after she arrived here in the morning, she didn't have any money to eat. She went straight to the gate of the steel rolling mill to wait, hoping to stop Zhou Feng.

They finally managed to stop her, but after introducing herself, the girl was completely stuck and didn't know what to say next.

Zhou Feng's eyes lit up.

The girl's eyes were so clear and bright, they seemed completely untouched by any pollution.

It makes sense. In this era of limited information, rural girls have mostly spent their childhoods working around the stove and on the ridges of the fields. How could they have seen much of the world?

This natural and innocent youthful spirit is something that no one else can fake!

Especially in the information explosion era of later generations, whether they are young girls or young men, they start dating before they even finish elementary school. They are still children themselves, and their mobile phones clearly explain the steps of making a baby.

TV dramas and movies are the same; it's as if you can't be in a relationship without kissing, or have feelings without sleeping together.

You really can't find a girl as pure and innocent as her in later generations!

One of them twisted the hem of his clothes helplessly, while the other looked around thoughtfully. They stood there frozen at the factory gate.

But the agents watching from the shadows all wore smiles on their faces.

They naturally knew that Qin Jingru was waiting for Zhou Feng. When she told Qin Huairu that she had taken a liking to Zhou Feng and had come over early in the morning, the girl's background had already been sent to Sun Yue's desk.

But the people in their Special Operations Unit are happy to see this happen!

They couldn't wait to see Zhou Feng fall for a girl in this world, or even get married and have children!

If he had a wife and children here, would he not feel attached to this world?

Will Zhou Feng be from here or from the modern world then?

A man with someone to care about is a completely different person from a lone wolf!

Of course, only one of the agents secretly protecting Zhou Feng looked rather grim, and even let out a cold snort.

"Gurgle~"

An untimely sound broke the silence, and Qin Jingru's face flushed red instantly.

"Didn't you eat?"

Zhou Feng glanced at Qin Jingru with some curiosity. The latter was too shy to speak and could only nod silently.

In order to get to the city as early as possible, she didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Her family was poor and couldn't even afford to bring any dry food.

I was planning to go hungry all day and eat when I got home in the evening, but I never expected to lose so much face at Zhou Feng's place!

"Come on, let's go back and get something to eat first. It's on me! This... you can have something to eat first."

Zhou Feng casually rummaged through his pockets and pulled out an individually wrapped egg roll.

These are his favorite snacks, and he often carries a few in his pocket when he has nothing to do. They're just the right amount to give to Qin Jingru.

After teaching her to tear open the packaging and taking a couple of bites, the little girl's eyes practically sparkled with joy!

The layers of egg rolls are crisp and crunchy with a rich egg flavor. One bite and your mouth is filled with a sweet taste!

She had never eaten anything so delicious in her life, and she couldn't bear to take a second bite, afraid that she would finish it in a few bites.

Seeing the girl's cautious manner, Zhou Feng couldn't help but chuckle: "Eat without worry, I have plenty more!"
