Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 246 Returning to the Capital!

This time, Li Feng bought the most items from Hongfeng Ceramics Factory. It was impossible for Li Feng to put so many things directly into his spatial storage, and it would be even more impractical to send them via logistics.

After all, in this era, the logistics industry had not yet taken off, and transportation was absolutely controlled by the state.

If Li Feng wanted to take these things back, he could only ask Wang Liu and the others for help. When Li Feng made this request, they immediately said that it was no problem at all.

With their help, Li Feng's two sets of tableware and teaware would be no problem at all.

However, getting on the train is a challenge. In this era, the train is the only means of transportation that can cover long distances, so most people choose to take the train, which results in the trains being packed with people.

It was full of people.

When Li Feng thought of this, he asked the people in room 203 if they wanted to take a sleeper berth.

Everyone present chose to take a sleeper berth home, so Li Feng asked Commissioner Zhou to help him buy a sleeper ticket.

In a sleeper car, fewer people board, so it's relatively easy to bring porcelain onto the train.

After discussing these matters with everyone, Li Feng went to tell Commissioner Zhou about it, and Commissioner Zhou said there was absolutely no problem.

Commissioner Zhou was only helping with the unified ticket booking, and Li Feng's actions weren't against any rules, so Commissioner Zhou quickly agreed.

Li Feng quickly paid the extra money for the upgrade to a sleeper berth to Commissioner Zhou.

This is the money belonging to Li Feng and four others.

Li Feng then told Commissioner Zhou about his intention to make a phone call to the External Liaison Office.

Commissioner Zhou readily agreed to this request, as he was already going there to report to his superiors, and taking Li Feng with him was no problem.

Everyone knows that Li Feng is a promising person. He is highly valued by Master Deng in the new color group, has shown his face in front of the factory leaders, and has even participated in national projects. Most importantly, Li Feng often interacts with the ministry.

No one would underestimate Li Feng, so Commissioner Zhou was extremely polite to Li Feng, and he would definitely agree to do Li Feng any small favors.

When Li Feng heard that Commissioner Zhou had agreed to his request, he immediately thanked Commissioner Zhou.

"Brother Zhou!"

"thank you".

However, Commissioner Zhou waved his hand at Li Feng and said...

"It's nothing."

"Do you want to go now?"

Li Feng immediately smiled and nodded to Commissioner Zhou.

"Yes.".

Next

Li Feng called Ding Qiunan from the external liaison office of Hongfeng Ceramics Factory and told her that he was preparing to leave for Beijing the next day.

Ding Qiunan sounded extremely happy on the phone, and she said she would pick her up at the train station and also invite Li Feng to dinner at Lao Mo.

Li Feng, of course, would not refuse Ding Qiunan's kindness. After the two settled these matters, Li Feng said goodbye to Commissioner Zhou and returned to dormitory 203.

When Li Feng returned to his dormitory, he found that everyone had already packed their luggage, and many of them had even taken a shower.

Li Feng watched their actions and couldn't help but have some questions.

"Are you all moving so fast?"

"This is completely beyond my expectations."

At this moment, Wang Liu put his arm around Li Feng's neck and asked him with a grin.

"Why did it take so long?"

"Does it really take this long to get a sleeper berth arranged by Specialist Zhou?"

After Wang Liu finished speaking, Zhou Jianjun and the others looked at Li Feng with curiosity.

At this moment, Li Feng answered Wang Liu and the others somewhat embarrassedly.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just made a phone call to my boyfriend."

After hearing Li Feng's explanation, they had an "I knew it" look on their faces.

Looking at them, Li Feng couldn't help but ask them a question, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't you want to make a phone call?"

At this moment, Wang Liu spread his hands and shook his head at Li Feng.

"What is a woman?"

"They will only slow me down."

Zhou Jianjun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is it the speed of throwing the potter's wheel?"

"Or is it?"

Li Feng then spoke confidently to Zhou Jianjun.

"It must be the speed of throwing the potter's wheel, otherwise what other speed could it be?"

When Li Feng finished speaking, everyone in the dormitory burst into laughter.

After everyone finished laughing, they all went to take a shower together.

Although the public bathhouses here are not like those in the north, where each showerhead has its own cubicle, it's still okay to shower together.

After taking a shower, Li Feng started packing up his clothes to take home and wash them. If he washed them now, they would definitely get moldy.

So it's better to wait until you get back to do the laundry.

As for the others, they quickly fell asleep.

After all, they were tired these past few days.

next day
May 12th

continuous rain
In the south, this kind of weather can come on any time. When Li Feng got up, he found that it was already drizzling outside.

To be honest, this weather, with its cool breeze, would be quite comfortable if I were at home.

However, today Li Feng and the others are going to Fuliang to catch a bus to Hongdu.

If the road were open now, I could take the train directly to Hongdu. Unfortunately, it's not open yet, so transferring would be a bit of a hassle.

At 7:30 a.m., Li Feng and the others had finished washing up and then had breakfast together in the cafeteria before being gathered together by Commissioner Zhou.

After Commissioner Zhou finished counting the number of people, he had everyone get into a military truck. The truck was from the same place, but it wasn't the same one as last time.

This time!
There were no speeches, no ceremonies, they just left.

Li Feng was quite satisfied with this, because he felt that it didn't need to be so complicated.

After getting on the bus, Li Feng noticed that his trouser legs and shoes were soaked, but he didn't care at all. He was busy bragging to the other passengers.

After all, it can be a bit boring to stay silent on the bus.

Li Feng had the most luggage this time, including one suitcase and two large suitcases.

So it takes up a lot of space inside the truck.

By the time Li Feng and the others arrived in Fuliang, it was almost ten o'clock.

Afterwards, Li Feng and the others took the 10:20 bus to Hongdu.

By the time we arrived in Hongdu, it was already past four in the afternoon.

At this moment, Li Feng felt completely disoriented. After all, he had experienced this long journey once again, which made him feel dizzy.

However, the journey is not over yet, because there is a train to Beijing at 7:50 pm, so Li Feng and his group have to wait for the train at the train station.

At this moment, Li Feng and his companions couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had asked Commissioner Zhou to book sleeper tickets in advance; otherwise, Li Feng would have felt exhausted.

eight pm
Li Feng and the others were already lying on their sleeper berths, and at this point, none of them wanted to move.

At this moment

Zhang Jiefang said to Li Feng, somewhat confused.

"I laughed at you guys when you were on sleeper trains last time!"

"Now I realize I was wrong."

"It turns out that sleeping in a sleeper berth is really comfortable."

"This money is definitely not something we can skimp on."

Jiang Fei echoed this sentiment.

"yes!".

"When I came here, I felt like everything below my neck was useless, but now I'm really enjoying myself."

"Next time I take a long-distance bus, I absolutely must not be tempted by cheap fares."

"I'd rather spend more money than sit in a seat."

"It's so uncomfortable."

Li Feng did not speak at this moment.

Li Feng chose to take a sleeper berth simply because he didn't want to be too tired. The conditions on trains now are not as good as in later generations. Even taking a slow train in later generations is tiring, let alone now.

Li Feng has a lot of money now, so spending a little more won't hurt him. Besides, he's already a level four artist, so his salary will only increase in the future. Therefore, Li Feng is willing to spend this amount of money.

At this moment, Li Feng just wanted to go home as soon as possible, because he felt it would be more comfortable to rest at home, and he didn't want to bring too much stuff.

Although I have my own space, I can only use it when I get home. If I use it now, others will definitely notice something.

After a three-day journey, Li Feng finally returned to the capital.

When Li Feng got off the train, he felt a sense of relief. Although he was in a sleeper car, he still felt very tired and bored.

Now that he had finally gotten off the bus and smelled the fresh air, Li Feng felt much better.

At that moment, the others also felt as if they had been liberated.

After all, everyone feels the same way.

Just as everyone was relaxing, Commissioner Zhou rubbed his neck and then spoke loudly to everyone present.

"gather.".

When everyone heard Commissioner Zhou's call to assemble, they all lined up in an orderly fashion.

Commissioner Zhou then began to call roll, and after finding that everyone had arrived, he began to address everyone.

"From now on, everyone is back."

"Everyone, go home and get some rest today. I already asked the leaders yesterday, and you can rest for a day tomorrow. You'll be back to work on time the day after tomorrow."

When Commissioner Zhou got to this point, he looked at everyone and then continued speaking.

"If there are no further problems, everyone can disband."

After Commissioner Zhou finished speaking, many people asked him how he was going to get back.

Commissioner Zhou simply smiled and said to everyone.

"How can we get back?"

"Let's take the bus home."

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing what Commissioner Zhou said, and then they all went home to find their mothers.

At this moment, Wang Liu and Zhou Jianjun asked Li Feng.

"Do you want me to help you carry these two boxes of porcelain back?"

Li Feng simply said no.

Li Feng then told them to go home directly.

Seeing that Li Feng had said that, they greeted him and then went back.

Next

Li Feng carried three suitcases out of the station.

Actually, these two boxes of porcelain aren't heavy; they're just a bit difficult to carry.

These two boxes of porcelain, along with Li Feng's suitcase, weighed less than forty pounds, though they were quite large.

When Li Feng slowly carried the three items out, Ding Qiunan immediately spotted him carrying the large box.

So she quickly ran towards Li Feng.

When she was about 20 meters away from Li Feng, she shouted something directly at him.

"Li Feng."

Li Feng, who was carrying luggage, tableware, and tea set, couldn't help but look in the direction from which Ding Qiunan's voice came after hearing it.

At this moment, Li Feng saw Ding Qiunan, who was wearing a blue floral top and black trousers, standing less than 20 meters away from him.

When Li Feng saw Ding Qiunan, he immediately put the porcelain and luggage on the ground, then quickly ran to Ding Qiunan's side and hugged her.

After Ding Qiunan realized that Li Feng was hugging her, her face turned red and her ears started to feel hot.

At this moment, Ding Qiunan, who was being held by Li Feng, whispered to Li Feng.

"Everyone is watching you."

However, Li Feng didn't care.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"You're my boyfriend, what's wrong with hugging you?"

Then Li Feng asked Ding Qiunan with a smile.

"Have you missed me since I left?"

Ding Qiunan nodded shyly.

"think".

Li Feng then released Ding Qiunan.

He then said to Ding Qiunan, "I'll take my luggage, let's go back first and talk about it."

Seeing Li Feng carrying three suitcases, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but speak to him.

"I'll take your suitcase."

"It's not easy for you to carry all these things."

"That's right!"

"What's in these two boxes?"

Li Feng nodded, then handed his suitcase to Ding Qiunan. He then picked up the other two suitcases and explained to Ding Qiunan as he walked.

"These two boxes contain a tea set and a set of tableware!"

"I promised Shazhu I'd bring it for him."

"Silly Zhu!"

"You've seen it before."

Ding Qiunan then realized that it was Chef He, who was in charge of cooking, who asked Li Feng to bring it.

However, she couldn't help but complain to Li Feng about Sha Zhu.

"He really has the nerve to let you carry all this stuff."

"You've been carrying so much stuff all this way, it must have been so tiring for you."

Li Feng, however, shook his head at Ding Qiunan and said...

"well enough".

"It's not very heavy."

"Your home is close to the train station, so take these things to your dorm first."

Ding Qiunan nodded to Li Feng and said.

"OK!".

"Take your things to my house first, then go to the public bathhouse for a shower later."

"You smell bad."

"Do you have a change of clothes in your suitcase?"

Li Feng nodded to Ding Qiunan.

"There's another set."

"The rest are all dirty."

Ding Qiunan said to Li Feng with a smile.

"Alright!"

"Then take your clean clothes to the bathhouse first, and I'll wash your dirty clothes for you."

"I'm all washed up, come back and eat quickly."

Li Feng asked Ding Qiunan with some curiosity.

"Have you already cooked dinner?"

Ding Qiunan answered Li Feng.

"No, not at all. I've already washed and chopped all the vegetables, so all that's left is to stir-fry them."

"I'm free all day today, I swapped shifts with a colleague."

"You'll get to try my cooking later."

"Let me tell you, my cooking skills are different from before."

At this moment, Li Feng wanted to see how Ding Qiunan's cooking skills were different.

Li Feng clearly remembered that Ding Qiunan's cooking was almost inedible at first, then it became edible, and now it's even better?

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but become curious.

After all, I've only been away for a little over a month. Could it be that Ding Qiunan's cooking skills have improved rapidly during this month?
By the time Li Feng arrived at Ding Qiunan's dormitory with his luggage and porcelain, it was already past 2 p.m.

After resting for a while, Li Feng took out clean clothes from his suitcase and prepared to take a shower.

Ding Qiunan, on the other hand, was helping Li Feng wash his dirty clothes.
