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

Before long, Zhou Feng brought two steaming bowls of instant noodles to the table and sat down facing Bai Ling.

This product, which has more types of additives than ingredients, was definitely the first time Bai Ling had ever tried it. However, compared to Zhou Feng's unrestrained eating manner, she was the one who ate it in a refined and slow manner.

"You were away for a few days, shouldn't you report to the steel rolling mill when you get back?"

Bai Ling swallowed the noodles in her mouth and casually asked Zhou Feng a question, mainly wanting to know his future plans.

The latter simply leaned back in the chair, rested his arm on the armrest, and slumped there.

"No rush, I haven't finished my work yet. Let's talk after you've helped me rent the place and taken care of the important business."

Although Bai Ling knew that Zhou Feng wanted to rent a house because it was related to the things he brought from the future, she was still furious at his lazy attitude.

"No, look at someone your age, how come you seem...more..."

"Still relaxed?"

"Yes! You're clearly not that old; you should be working hard to build the country, so why do you act like you have no backbone all day long!"

Zhou Feng smiled nonchalantly. Isn't this sense of relaxation an essential skill for working people?

Once I get home from get off work, I'll lie down if I can, stand if I can sit, and rest if I can rest if I can rest!

Even after he opened his own antique shop, Zhou Feng still kept a "drunken old man's chair" in the shop, and would lie on it and sway for a while whenever he had free time.

"Hey, you're really something!"

Bai Ling looked at Zhou Feng with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. In their generation, which young person wasn't full of energy and enthusiasm? But Zhou Feng was like a retired old cadre!

But the other party is indeed more important than all the young people in Beiping!

No matter how hard they try, it's still the same!

"Don't try to persuade me!"

Zhou Feng waved lazily at Bai Ling: "That's just how I am, I probably won't be able to change it in this lifetime. Why don't you put in a little more effort and work hard for my share too? I'll get you some rare items later."

"Tch... Don't forget to leave me a copy of your house key. Let me know when you go out or come back."

???

Zhou Feng glanced at Bai Ling, wondering if this girl had misunderstood something. Could it be that she...

Bai Ling could guess what Zhou Feng was thinking just by looking at his eyes, and she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "Forgot? When I brought you the candlesticks before, you said we'd cook together, and you'd provide the ingredients."

"Oh? Yes, yes, yes! That's right!"

Zhou Feng slapped his forehead, only then realizing that this was an idea he had come up with out of laziness!

In this era without running water, washing vegetables and dishes was just too much trouble!

"Um... Comrade Bai Ling, you know I have some connections in America, and I can occasionally get some snacks or something. Don't be too surprised if you see them..."

After spending these days together, Zhou Feng's wariness towards Bai Ling had largely dissipated; otherwise, he wouldn't have given her such obviously outdated instant noodles.

But since we're going to eat together, there are some things that need to be clarified beforehand to avoid misunderstandings later.

"Comrade Zhou Feng, are you home?"

Just as Zhou Feng was about to say something, Qin Huairu's voice came from outside the house again.
