Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 2 Jia Zhangshi's Thoughts

Courtyard house

Li Feng was rummaging through things at home.

At this moment, Li Feng looked at the rice in the rice jar and couldn't help but frown.

Ah!
This rice will only last for a few days at most.

In other words, if they can't find a job, they will run out of food.

I go!

Is this some kind of rip-off?
Having just transmigrated here, I'm already struggling to even find food.

At this moment, Li Feng remembered that when he was in modern times, he had graduated from university. Although he was poor, he was not starving.

Thinking of this, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Let's just get through today first. After all, it's already this late, and it's not realistic to go out and look for a job.

That's when.

A mechanical voice echoed in Li Feng's mind.

"The career system is being activated."

Career system?

Isn't this an essential cheat code for time travelers?

Li Feng never expected that he would have this cheat code, and he couldn't help but think about it.

If I had a cheat code, would I be able to stay in the capital?
So Li Feng immediately began to find out what this "golden finger" was.

However, this cheat code seemed to be a virtual interface, and there was a character attribute in the virtual interface, so Li Feng curiously clicked on his own attribute interface.

Career System
Host: Li Feng

Age: 18 years old

Professional skills: None.

Life Skills: Cooking Level 0 (100/0).

Potential: Painting, mechanics.

Looking at his screen, Li Feng felt like crying.

Is this really me?
After reading this simple introduction, Li Feng felt like a useless person.

In my past life, I was at least a science and engineering student, and now this is all I am?

It's surprising that he doesn't even have any professional skills. But is this potential in painting and mechanics related to the major he studied in his previous life?
At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but start to have questions.

Although Li Feng was full of questions, his first priority was to solve the problem of eating.

The system can't help right now, so Li Feng has no choice but to put it aside for the time being.

There's still a little rice left in the rice container, and some cabbage at home.

So Li Feng simply made a stir-fried cabbage.

"Cooking experience +1".

Li Feng was completely focused on eating, so he didn't notice the system notification he had just received.

After the food is prepared.

Li Feng started showing off the cabbage and rice he had cooked.

Ah!
The taste is alright.

Although it doesn't taste as good as what you buy outside.

But now Li Feng is hungry.

So Li Feng ate two bowls of rice with the cabbage.

After eating.

Li Feng felt much better about his stomach.

After finishing his meal, Li Feng lay down on the bed and began to look at his ceiling.

The ceiling of Li Feng's house was covered with old newspapers, and Li Feng can still see the news in those old newspapers.

However, Li Feng is not interested in these things at the moment.

Because in order to avoid going to the countryside, I will have to look for a job tomorrow.

I don't know if there are any job openings right now.

If there is such a factory, you should give it a try, no matter what kind of factory it is.

After all, only by having a job can I stay here.

Otherwise, I would have no choice but to go to the countryside.

As Li Feng pondered, he felt his eyelids begin to droop, and then he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Li Feng was awakened by a rooster crowing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up in bed.

Yes, it's still in this somewhat old house.

I was definitely not dreaming.

Li Feng shook his head, then got up and started washing up.

the other side

Everyone in the courtyard went about their own business.

They went to work or did other jobs.

At that moment, Li Feng was brushing his teeth by the sink with a cup and a toothbrush.

Because most people have gone to work, there aren't many people living in the courtyard houses now.

In October, the weather in Beijing was noticeably cool.

Even Li Feng, who was in relatively good health, felt a bit cold.

After brushing his teeth, Li Feng rinsed off his toiletries, washed his hands, and prepared to go back and make something to eat.

Just as Li Feng turned around to go back into the house, he was stopped by Jia Zhangshi.

At this moment, Madam Jia Zhang had just come out of the house.

Just then, she saw Li Feng brushing his teeth, so she immediately called out to him.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Zhangshi put on a smiling face and asked Li Feng.

"Young Master Li, you're up?"

"How are the preparations for going to the countryside going?"

"Let me remind you, if you sign up early, you can go to a more affluent place. If you sign up late, you'll only be able to go to places that others don't want to go."

As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she put on a look that seemed to be saying "it's for your own good."

At this moment, Li Feng did not expect that the first person he would encounter upon emerging would be Jia Zhangshi.

Just like in the TV series, Jia Zhangshi had a sharp and mean face.

Moreover, judging from what Jia Zhangshi had just said, Li Feng deduced that the old woman was definitely up to no good.

She's so eager to sign up for the rural educated youth program; she must have ulterior motives towards me.

Immediately afterward, he thought of something.

Could it be that this old hag has her eye on my house?
Given Jia Zhangshi's personality, this is indeed a possibility.

If I go to the countryside, won't this house be ownerless?
After all, in this era, there was no such thing as commercial housing; all housing was public housing, which was basically allocated by the state.

I am only able to live here because the government temporarily allocated the house to my father; otherwise, I would not be qualified to live here.

According to this logic, Jia Zhangshi must have her eye on my house. Otherwise, why would she be so kind as to remind me when we're not related?

She's definitely after her own house.

Li Feng could have figured this out even with his toes.

After all, he was so poor that he could hardly afford to eat, and all he had left was his house.

Why is Jia Zhangshi suddenly being so kind to me? Isn't she just after my house?

At this moment, Li Feng felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

However, Li Feng still spoke calmly to Jia Zhangshi at this moment.

"Going to the countryside?"

"I'm not going!"

"I'm going to look for a job today."

Jia Zhangshi was surprised that Li Feng actually wanted to find a job. In Jia Zhangshi's mind, Li Feng should honestly go to the countryside and leave the house empty.

Moreover, Jia Zhangshi believed that Li Feng's idea of finding a job was simply wishful thinking.

Are jobs really that easy to find?
Isn't this a joke?
So Jia Zhangshi immediately began to comfort Li Feng.

"Little Li."

"Jobs are not easy to find."

"In our capital city, I don't know how many people can't find jobs!"

“Take my advice, go to the neighborhood committee to register as soon as possible. Director Wang can help you get a better place to live.”

However, Li Feng remained completely unmoved.

He was only speaking to Jia Zhangshi.

"Then you don't need to worry about it. I know what I should do."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he went into his room.

As Jia Zhangshi watched Li Feng's retreating figure, she couldn't help but feel a sense of mockery.

snort!
I think you'll end up in the countryside sooner or later.
