Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 203 Qian Fusheng is getting married

夜晚
After leaving Wenhui's house, Shazhu felt very happy because he felt that he had gained the approval of Wenhui's parents, and he also felt that he had a good chance of marrying Wenhui.

At this moment, the thought of Silly Zhu escaping his single status made him feel a surge of heat throughout his body.

Right now, Sha Zhu is thinking about putting in extra effort during this time and intensifying his offensive.

Once I've completely won over Wen Hui, I'm going to show off to Xu Damao.

Sha Zhu had been holding back this anger for a while, and he really wanted to release it.

However, he has never had a partner, which is something he can't compare to Xu Damao.

At this moment, Sha Zhu couldn't help but think that after he completely won over Wen Hui, he would have to treat Brother Li Feng to a big meal. If Brother Li Feng hadn't given him the idea, he wouldn't have been able to get together with Wen Hui so quickly.

This made Sha Zhu very grateful to Li Feng.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at Wen Hui's place...

Wenhui kept praising Shazhu to her parents, who at this point thought Shazhu was quite good.

At this time, they thought they should go and check on Sha Zhu's work in the next few days.

Generally speaking, people are not allowed to enter the kitchen of a factory canteen, but Sha Zhu, wanting to get married, readily agreed to let his parents go and see the kitchen of the factory canteen.

After all, Sha Zhu knew at this point that Wen Hui's parents wanted to see what kind of job he had.

Sha Zhu agreed to this so that the old couple could feel at ease.
Sha Zhu was able to agree to this so readily because he thought he only needed to tell the canteen manager.

The problem is not big.

Most importantly, Sha Zhu believed that after Wen Hui's parents saw his job, they probably wouldn't object to his relationship with Wen Hui anymore. As for Wen Hui's blind date, Sha Zhu simply ignored it at this point.

Sha Zhu believes that Wen Hui, the blind date, is completely unworthy of Wen Hui, and that he is uneducated, has no good job, and doesn't earn as much as he does.

And she's not as good-looking as me.

So Sha Zhu doesn't see Li Erniu as a threat at all, and he simply ignores him.

Sha Zhu just wants Wen Hui's parents to feel at ease entrusting Wen Hui to him.

At this moment, Li Erniu heard Wen Hui praising Sha Zhu, which made him feel uneasy. After all, Li Erniu's purpose in coming here was to bring his wife back.

But he never expected that a cook would suddenly appear and try to steal his wife.

This made Li Erniu feel very upset. He and Wen Hui had grown up together since childhood, and Wen Hui was the most beautiful girl in the village. How could he give Wen Hui to the cook?
So Li Erniu now wants to bring Wenhui to the village. Once he gets Wenhui there, the cook won't be able to boss him around anymore.

Li Erniu believed that if he were in his own village, he wouldn't be afraid of this cook at all.

But now that I'm in the capital, there's nothing I can do about this cook.

night
Li Erniu slept with Wen Hui's father, but they slept on the floor, while Wen Hui slept on the bed with her mother.

Although Li Erniu wanted to sleep with Wen Hui, he couldn't say for sure here.

So Li Erniu had no choice but to sleep with Wen Hui's father, feeling quite resentful.

the other side

Li Feng had already fallen asleep by this time.

After fixing the curtains, Li Feng quickly made himself something to eat, then washed up and went to bed.

In this day and age, there's not much entertainment at night.

Men with wives make babies at night, while men without wives can only sleep.

There is no way around it.

Although Li Feng now has a girlfriend, there is still a distance or time before they can live together.

Overall, however, the speed is still quite fast.

Of course, this applies to Li Feng and Ding Qiunan. As for Sha Zhu and Wen Hui, Li Feng actually doesn't know how Sha Zhu and Wen Hui got together.

As for whether Sha Zhu and Wen Hui can be together, Li Feng is actually not very sure.

For Li Feng, this matter was uncertain. If Sha Zhu couldn't escape Qin Huairu's clutches, then it was simply his fate.

Li Feng was powerless to do anything about it. In fact, Li Feng had never thought about changing anyone's fate, but such things were beyond his control. If Sha Zhu could change his own fate, Li Feng would still wish Sha Zhu well.

To be fair, Sha Zhu's family treated him quite well.

At least it's not a scam.

So Li Feng was happy that Sha Zhu was able to get rid of being sucked blood.

The next day
Li Feng woke up very early, which may be because he goes to bed early.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and Li Feng went to work very early.

When Li Feng arrived at the ceramics factory, he went straight to the canteen for lunch. Before he could even sit down properly after getting his food, he heard a familiar voice.

Li Feng looked back and saw Qian Fusheng walking happily to his seat.

After seeing Qian Fusheng, Li Feng asked him some questions out of curiosity.

"Huh."

"You're only just arriving for dinner?"

"You usually eat very early."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Qian Fusheng smiled and said to Li Feng.

"hey-hey.".

"I guessed you'd be here around this time."

"So I came to take a look."

"I didn't expect you to actually be here."

"Brother, I'm getting married, and I've come here specifically to invite you to my wedding banquet."

After Qian Fusheng finished speaking, he took out a red paper wedding invitation from his pocket and handed it to Li Feng.

When Li Feng heard that Qian Fusheng was getting married, he was very surprised. He had heard during the Spring Festival that Qian Fusheng's blind dates were going very smoothly, but he did not expect that he would get married so soon. This was something Li Feng had never expected.

Upon seeing the wedding invitation, Li Feng couldn't help but smile and congratulate Qian Fusheng.

"Fusheng, you're getting married already. Time really flies."

"Don't worry, I will definitely go then."

"I originally thought Brother Wang would be faster than you, but I didn't expect you to be even faster than Brother Wang."

At this moment, Qian Fusheng nodded to Li Feng and said.

"Brother Wang will be here soon too."

"But he's still discussing it with the woman."

"However, I have already discussed it with the woman, and we will get married in twelve days."

"Set up seventeen tables."

When Li Feng heard Qian Fusheng's words, he was somewhat surprised.

"What?".

"Seventeen tables?"

"Do you have that many relatives?"

At this point, Qian Fusheng explained to Li Feng.

“My family doesn’t have that many people, but my wife’s family has ten tables.”

"My wife's family is quite large."

"Because it's local."

"It would be great if our family could manage to fill about six tables."

"Moreover, everyone from our family came with their children, while my wife's family only sent one person from each household."

"If my family has too few relatives, we will lose face."

Li Feng then realized that Qian Fusheng had married a local native. If she was a local native, it would be normal for there to be many people, and it would be normal for each family to send one person. As outsiders, it was also normal for the Qian family to have their relatives who lived here bring their families to show off.

Therefore, Li Feng understood these things. So Li Feng nodded to Qian Fusheng and said.

"I see".

"Don't worry, I will definitely go back then."

At this moment, Li Feng seemed to think of something, so he couldn't help but ask Qian Fusheng.

"By the way, did you hire Master Wang?"

Qian Fusheng quickly replied to Li Feng.

"Can I not hire Master Wang?"

"If I don't invite Master Wang, wouldn't I be betraying my master and ancestors?"

"And Master Wang will have to sit up there."

"You know, if I don't hire a mentor in our line of work, how can I survive in the factory?"

"So I invited Master Wang, my fellow apprentices, and you as well."

When Li Feng heard this, he couldn't help but nod to Qian Fusheng.

"Row".

"I have received the invitation, and I will definitely go."

Qian Fusheng nodded, then checked the time, and then said to Li Feng.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to the workshop now."

After Qian Fusheng finished speaking, he got up and left.

As Li Feng watched Qian Fusheng's departing figure, he then took the invitation from the table and put it on his person.

Now that Fusheng, who is the same age as me, is married, it seems that some things in life are indeed unpredictable.

Although Fusheng had been talking about making money to get married since he first joined the factory last year, only about half a year has passed and he is getting married. Li Feng couldn't help but sigh that Fusheng's pace was really fast.

Li Feng originally thought that Fusheng would not be able to get married until at least next year, but unexpectedly, Fusheng was getting married less than a month after the Lunar New Year.

That speed is incredible.

Compared to Fusheng, Shazhu is utterly pathetic.

But there's nothing we can do about it; it's all because the man and woman are willing.
If it were up to Sha Zhu to choose, he would be very anxious about this matter. However, the people Sha Zhu likes either have men in their lives or have some kind of problem.

If Sha Zhu really gets together with Wen Hui this time, then Qin Huairu will have little chance.

Next

After finishing his meal, Li Feng went to the workshop.

When Li Feng arrived at the new color group, he found that Master Deng had already arrived.

At this moment, Li Feng glanced at the wall clock in the new color group; it was only a little past 7:40.

Today, Mr. Deng arrived a few minutes earlier than usual.

At this moment, Master Deng was looking at the Miao girl that Li Feng had drawn earlier. When Master Deng saw Li Feng, he waved to him. After seeing Master Deng waving to him, Li Feng quickly ran to Master Deng's side.

Master Deng looked at Li Feng, who was panting heavily, and then smiled and said to Li Feng.

"The Miao girl you painted is among the first batch to come out of the kiln today."

"The painting is indeed very good, with a very youthful and lively feel."

"And they are also very lively."

"The colors also transition very well."

"That's right."

"I might still be painting this type of picture in the next couple of days."

Li Feng asked Master Deng with some doubt.

"Huh?"

"Which important figure from Singapore, Malaysia, or Thailand wants to order this painting?"

Master Deng shook his head at Li Feng.

No, that's not it.

"This time, it was an order from the Ministry of Culture, I think it was from the Department of Ethnic Culture. They ordered porcelain paintings related to the dances of the Western Regions from our factory."

"It seems to be intended for some kind of religious committee."

"Actually, I don't really understand these departments either."

"Anyway, they just want us to provide a piece of porcelain from their region, for dancing."

"For the purpose of solidarity."

"This matter will probably be finalized in the next couple of days, so you should prepare accordingly."

Li Feng didn't expect that after just finishing the porcelain painting of a Miao girl, he would be painting another one with the characteristics of western Xinjiang. So Li Feng couldn't help but ask Master Deng if he had any reference materials.

However, Master Deng replied to Li Feng, telling him to draw it himself.

There will be someone specifically assigned to provide materials for Li Feng.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but ask Master Deng with some curiosity.

"Who exactly provided the material?"

Master Deng thought for a moment, then told Li Feng.

"It seems they invited a girl of about seventeen or eighteen from Xinjiang to dance. You'll be able to draw whatever comes to mind with pen and paper, and they might also let you take pictures with a camera."

Only then did Li Feng understand what Master Deng had said.

Actually, to be honest, Li Feng has never drawn like this before.

At this moment, Master Deng looked at Li Feng's naive and unworldly appearance and couldn't help but say something to him with a sense of exasperation.

“For those of us in this line of work, sketching is also very important.”

"I remember once, I was given a task to draw the heroic posture of the dance team, and I simply used a brush to record it directly."

"I didn't use the camera they gave me."

Li Feng was taken aback after hearing what Master Deng said.

"Don't you think it's faster to use a camera?"

However, after hearing Li Feng's words, Master Deng immediately shook his head at Li Feng and said...

"You can train your ability to capture motion without relying on a camera."

"It's for sketching."

"Isn't it normal to write down what you see on paper?"

When Li Feng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but he would still use the camera later.

Li Feng felt that using a camera was faster, and since he had painting skills, he could easily memorize the dance. As for sketching, he felt that it was sometimes necessary and sometimes not.

Li Feng didn't dare tell Master Deng about these thoughts. If Li Feng did, Master Deng would definitely say that Li Feng was trying to take shortcuts, so it was better not to say anything.

After Master Deng finished speaking to Li Feng, he asked Li Feng to continue drawing the Eighteen Arhats.

After all, Li Feng hadn't finished the Eighteen Arhats yet. Last time, he had only completed the Arhat drawing, and he had made some modifications under Master Deng's guidance.

The Arhats in Li Feng's ink sketches now have a vintage feel.

Regarding the brushwork for painting Arhats, a slightly thicker double-edged brush can be used, and the lines can be drawn more freely, without too many rules or restrictions. However, if painting ladies, the method is completely different from that for painting Arhats.

To draw the Arhats, you have to start with their heads. So Li Feng decided to use a red brush dipped in hemp pigment to outline the heads. The heads of these eighteen Arhats alone would take Li Feng a long time to draw.

So Li Feng could only sit at his workstation and slowly draw the eighteen Arhats.

As for the porcelain paintings by the girls from western Xinjiang, the project can only be launched after the Ministry of Culture issues an official document.
