Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 314

Time flies
Li Feng's school day was approaching, which was September 8th.

He had prepared everything he needed for school well in advance, but even so, Li Feng's luggage was still less than Ding Qiunan's.

But that's normal, since Li Feng is a man.

If Li Feng wanted to buy one, he could simply go to the school store and buy a bamboo mat.

As for other daily necessities, they can be purchased at the school store.

Next, Li Feng rode his bicycle, carrying his luggage, directly to Tsinghua University.

Li Feng kept pedaling his bicycle the whole way, wanting to get there as soon as possible and then get everything sorted out.

After about an hour and a half, Li Feng finally arrived at Tsinghua University.

Looking at Tsinghua University in front of him, Li Feng saw that it was indeed as simple and unpretentious as rumored.

After sighing, Li Feng pushed his bicycle into Tsinghua University, where he enjoyed the campus scenery.

He couldn't help but feel that he hadn't made a mistake in coming here; the students who could study here were basically among the best in the country.

Of course! The same goes for Beijing University, which is on par with Tsinghua University.

This school has a very strong engineering program.

At this point, Li Feng realized that although Tsinghua University's facilities might not be the best, its teaching level and quality were among the top in the country.

This school has produced pillars of various industries.

Currently, it's possible that Li Feng will become one of these people in the future; it's hard to say.

Next

Li Feng arrived at the reporting location, and his dormitory assignment was quickly completed.

Although Li Feng is a local, he still needs to stay in a hotel. His purpose is simple: for convenience. It takes Li Feng about two hours to ride his bike from the courtyard to Tsinghua University. If he has classes, he definitely won't have enough time.

Therefore, living in the school dormitory is the best option.

After Li Feng got his dormitory number, he quickly rode his bike to the dormitory.

When Li Feng arrived at the dormitory, he found that someone was already there.

After putting down his luggage, Li Feng smiled at the boy with dark skin and a buzz cut in front of him.

"Hello, classmate!"

"I'm also in this dorm."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, the short-haired, dark-skinned boy immediately smiled and greeted Li Feng warmly.

"Hello".

"Hello!".

"My name is Liu Xiwa."

"I study physics."

Liu Xiwa is a very distinctive name, and it also carries the rural flavor of this era.

Then Li Feng asked Liu Xiwa with some curiosity.

"Are you from southern Henan?"

Liu Xiwa immediately nodded to Li Feng in response.

"Yes!"

"I'm from southern Henan."

"You guessed perfectly."

The reason Li Feng guessed so accurately was because before he came to this era, he saw a video of a teacher recommending a major to apply for, and that teacher was a classmate of a student from southern Henan.

The teacher's student from southern Henan had a very distinctive accent, basically the same as the student in front of him.

So Li Feng immediately knew that Liu Xiwa was from southern Henan.

At this moment, Li Feng smiled at Liu Xiwa and said.

“Your accent sounds a bit like that of people from southern Henan, that’s how I guessed it.”

"Hello!".

"My name is Li Feng, and I'm a local."

"I studied mechanical engineering."

After hearing Li Feng introduce himself, Liu Xiwa immediately extended his hands, grasped Li Feng's hands, and smiled.

"hello!".

"Li Feng, we're classmates now."

In the ensuing conversation, Li Feng gradually began to understand this man from southern Henan.

Liu Xiwa is two years older than Li Feng.

I'm twenty-two this year.

In this day and age, it's not unusual to go to university at any age, so Li Feng didn't mind that Liu Xiwa was older than him.

After all, this is a very normal thing in this era.

Next, Li Feng invited Liu Xiwa to dinner.

Today, Li Feng came here, but he wasn't wearing his cadre uniform. Last time, when he took Ding Qiunan to the medical university, Li Feng was mistaken for a teacher by the students, which made him quite embarrassed.

After all, in schools, there are generally two types of people who wear cadre uniforms: teachers and administrative staff.

Regardless of the type, students generally address them as "teacher".

Therefore, Li Feng did not wear any cadre uniform or anything like that.

Li Feng was also afraid that these students would misuse his name again.

Next, Li Feng and Liu Xiwa went to the cafeteria for lunch. After lunch, they went to the convenience store and bought some daily necessities, as well as mats and such.

This time, Li Feng did not bring the mat from home.

Firstly, it's unnecessary, and secondly, the mat at home doesn't match the bed here.

Secondly, if something happens when I get home, I won't be able to sleep well.

Therefore, buying another one at school is the most cost-effective option.

Moreover, Li Feng is not short of money now. Most importantly, he is studying here and the factory will pay him a salary.

of course!

This was specially approved by Director Zheng; ordinary people wouldn't receive this treatment.

After buying their things, the two of them started looking for a place to take a shower.

However, since taking a shower requires a ticket, the two of them had to go to the school's department that manages these things to get the tickets.

After receiving their shower tickets, the two went to the cafeteria for dinner, then took a cold shower at the public bathhouse before heading back to their dormitory.

This dormitory is for four people, which means there are still two people who haven't arrived yet.

At this moment, Li Feng, who was lying on the lower bunk, asked Liu Xiwa, who was lying on the other lower bunk.

"Xiwa!"

"When was the report published?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Liu Xiwa said with some uncertainty.

"It should be two days."

"Tomorrow is the last day."

"Our dorm will probably be full by tomorrow, right?"

Li Feng nodded at this moment.

"Too!".

"Most people should be able to arrive by tomorrow."

After chatting for a while, the two of them fell asleep.

The next day
The door to Li Feng and Liu Xiwa's dormitory was opened, and when the sunlight shone through the door, it shone directly on Li Feng and Liu Xiwa's faces.

At that moment, Li Feng was awakened by the intense sunlight.

When Li Feng opened his eyes, he saw a man who was almost 1.8 meters tall carrying a lot of luggage into their dormitory.

The 1.8-meter-tall man was also stunned when he saw Li Feng and Liu Xiwa.

He then laughed heartily at the two of them.

"Brothers, you've arrived very early."

"You guys came to report yesterday!"

As the man spoke, he placed his luggage on the floor of the dormitory.

At this moment, Liu Xiwa shielded his eyes from the sunlight with his hand, and then he spoke to the 1.8-meter-tall man.

"Hey bro, can you close the door for me? The sun's too bright."

Upon hearing Liu Xiwa's words, the 1.8-meter-tall man quickly apologized to the two of them.

"Excuse me!".

"Sorry, at first I thought no one was there!"

After saying that, he closed the door.

After closing the door, Li Feng and Liu Xiwa felt their eyes were much better.

Seeing that the two were alright, the man took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and asked them a question.

"Hey bro, wanna smoke?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng waved his hand at the man.

"Won't.".

Liu Xiwa also shook her head and said.

"I don't smoke."

"What a waste of money."

"With this money, you might as well buy some food."

The man wasn't embarrassed after hearing their conversation; he simply put the cigarette back in his pocket. Then he began to introduce himself.

"Hey bro, how are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is He Xiaodong!"

"He's from Northeast China."

Upon hearing his self-introduction, Li Feng nodded in agreement.

"I can tell!"

"Your accent sounds like you're from Northeast China."

"Is that how everyone talks back there?"

He Xiaodong then laughed loudly at Li Feng.

"yes".

"The accents in our area are all pretty much the same."

"Actually, the four places in Northeast China are all pretty much the same."

After hearing He Xiaodong's words, Li Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then asked He Xiaodong with some doubt.

"Four places?"

"Isn't it supposed to be three locations?"

He Xiaodong shook his head.

"No, that's not it!"

"And some parts of Inner Mongolia are the same as me."

After He Xiaodong explained, he realized that some people in Inner Mongolia actually speak a dialect similar to that of Northeast China.

At this point, He Xiaodong asked Li Feng and Liu Xiwa.

"Brothers, what are your names?"

"Let's get to know each other."

Li Feng nodded, and then began to introduce himself.

"My name is Li Feng, I'm a local, and I'm a student in the Mechanical Engineering Department."

He Xiaodong was somewhat surprised when Li Feng revealed that he was from the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

"Mechanical engineering, huh?"

Li Feng nodded, then asked He Xiaodong with some confusion.

"how?".

"Is there a problem?"

At this moment, He Xiaodong slapped his thigh and then explained to Li Feng with some regret.

"Mechanical engineering, that's what I wanted to study back then, what a pity."

"What a pity!"

"If I had enough points, I would definitely apply for mechanical engineering."

At this moment, Li Feng asked He Xiaodong with some confusion.

"So what major did you choose?"

He Xiaodong sighed at Li Feng at this moment.

"Why!".

"I'm a civil engineer."

When Li Feng heard about He Xiaodong's major, he was stunned for a moment, and then he patted He Xiaodong on the shoulder.

"Civil engineering is actually not so bad."

"Civil engineering is one of our school's top-ranked majors."

"In the future, it will definitely be a hot commodity."

At this moment, Liu Xiwa smiled and said to He Xiaodong.

"This is the department that manages it!"

Li Feng looked at Liu Xiwa and said.

"Is this what you mean by 'managing'?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiwa immediately changed from lying down to sitting up, and then nodded to Li Feng.

"That's right!"

It means "good".

"This major is good."

"I want to study this major, but I can't get in yet."

He Xiaodong asked Liu Xiwa with some confusion.

"Excuse me, what's your major?"

Liu Xiwa replied directly to He Xiaodong.

"I study physics."

He Xiaodong became even more puzzled after hearing Liu Xiwa's words.

"What?".

"If you can study physics, your score must be higher than mine, right?"

"In Northeast China, the scores for physics are much higher than those for civil engineering."

At this moment, Liu Xiwa sighed and said to He Xiaodong.

“In our area, those with higher scores than me all applied for civil engineering, leaving only physics.”

"So I can only study physics."

"But it's not so bad, at least it's related to civil engineering."

"I'll still have the opportunity to do this in the future."

Just as the two were talking, the dormitory door was opened again.

At this moment, a dark-skinned, thin man opened the door. He was not very tall, probably only a little over 1.7 meters.

At this moment, he opened the door a crack and then asked inside with a smile.

"Excuse me, is this room 307?"

Upon seeing him, He Xiaodong immediately pulled the dark-skinned, thin man inside.

Then he smiled and asked the dark-skinned, thin man.

"brother!".

"You should be the last person in our dorm."

After hearing He Xiaodong's words, the man spoke somewhat reservedly to Li Feng and the other two.

"My name is Liang Hong, and I'm in the History Department."

"What are your names?"

After hearing Liang Hong's introduction, Liu Xiwa asked Liang Hong directly.

"You're from northern Shaanxi, right?"

Liang Hong nodded vigorously at Liu Xiwa and said.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Where are you from?"

Then Li Feng, Liu Xiwa, and He Xiaodong began to introduce themselves.

Once they got to know each other, they naturally started chatting about all sorts of things.

However, most of the people in this dormitory are from the north.

Moreover, their majors are quite different.

Li Feng was surprised to find that there were history majors.

Physics, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering all have some related subjects, but the history department has absolutely no connection to these.

At this moment, Li Feng asked Liang Hong with some curiosity.

"Liang Hong!"

Why did you choose history as your major?

After hearing Li Feng's words, He Xiaodong and Liu Xiwa also looked at Liang Hong with curiosity.

At this moment, Liang Hong scratched the back of his head and answered Li Feng somewhat embarrassedly.

"I was recommended to study history by my high school teacher."

He said that our hometown has a lot of cultural relics, and after learning this history, we have to find them ourselves.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng asked Liang Hong with some confusion.

"Then why don't you study archaeology?"

"Archaeology should be related to your major, right?"

He Xiaodong and Liu Xiwa nodded repeatedly.

"yes.".

"Archaeology is indeed a more specialized field."

At this moment, Liang Hong answered the group somewhat embarrassedly.

"I didn't get into the archaeology department of Peking University, so I could only come to the history department of Tsinghua University."

It was only then that Li Feng and the others realized that this was yet another case of settling for second best.

However, the history department at Tsinghua University is renowned nationwide, so whether you want to study history or go into archaeology, you can go there.

Li Feng now has a basic understanding of the situation of the other people in the dormitory.
