Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 288 The two surprised old men!
At this moment, Wang Liu saw that Fu Sheng had not heard what had just been said, so he repeated what had just happened.

Only then did Fusheng realize what Wang Liu, Zhou Jianjun, and Li Feng had just been talking about, so he nodded to them.

"Actually!"

"I think my dad is pretty good."

"Most of the things in the house were provided by my parents."

Then, somewhat smugly, he said to Li Feng and the others, "Hey!"

"I'm going to be a father in a few months, so I need to earn more money."

"I need to get more money for my son."

When Li Feng and the others heard Qian Fusheng say that he was going to be a father, they were speechless and said to Qian Fusheng.

"We already know."

"I've said it so many times."

"By the way, how do you know you gave birth to a son? Could it have been a daughter?"

At this moment, Qian Fusheng said to the group with a somewhat stern face.

"It must be the son."

"My mom and my relatives all say it's a son."

"They can tell if it's a boy or a girl just by looking at the shape of the belly."

Li Feng was speechless at Qian Fusheng's method of examining the belly.

The best way to determine the sex is through examination, but that's indeed a bit difficult nowadays.

Although ultrasound has existed since the 1950s, it was only available abroad. In China today, medical equipment for ultrasound is very scarce.

If you want to have this test done, you'll definitely have to go abroad or to places like Hong Kong.

Nowadays, most predictions of a pregnant woman's sex rely on experience, but this experience is often useless.

Although Li Feng was speechless, he didn't argue with Qian Fusheng, as such an argument would definitely not yield any results.

So arguing about these things is completely pointless.

Li Feng certainly wouldn't do anything pointless.

After Li Feng and the others finished eating, Li Feng went home with them.

At this moment, Qian Fusheng asked Li Feng.

"Li Feng!"

"When are we going to take a bath?"

Li Feng paused for a moment, then asked Qian Fusheng with some surprise.

"Take a bath?"

"summer?".

"Bro, it's summer now. Aren't you afraid of getting heatstroke if you go for a bath?"

At this moment, Wang Liu explained to Li Feng with a smile.

"Why can't we take a bath in the summer?"

"The bathhouse has a cold water pool too!"

"Let me tell you, isn't the whole point of going to the bathhouse to get a scrub?"

"In the summer, people basically go to the bathhouse for a scrubbing."

"If it weren't for the need to scrub the back, I could just use a bucket of water at home."

Then Wang Liu looked at Zhou Jianjun and asked him a question.

"Jianjun, do you have a bathroom at home?"

Zhou Jianjun then answered Wang Liu directly.

"Of course!"

"how?".

"Brother Wang, do you want to come to my house to take a shower?"

Wang Liu shook his head at Zhou Jianjun.

"How is that possible?"

"How could I possibly go to your house to take a shower?"

You're overthinking it.

"If I'm going to take a bath, I'll definitely go to the public bathhouse with Fusheng."

"If I wanted to go to your house, I would have gone already."

"Why would we need to do this now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianjun nodded.

Zhou Jianjun said that because he had known Wang Liu for a long time.

However, Li Feng didn't want to go to the bathhouse in the summer because he would be covered in sweat again after taking a bath and walking home, so there was no point in taking a bath in the summer.

At this moment, Li Feng was thinking that it would be so comfortable to take a shower at home. And if he could have an ice pop or an iced cola after the shower, that would be absolutely wonderful.

But right now, Li Feng doesn't have that option either.

Buying popsicles is easy, but buying a refrigerator is a bit more difficult.

After all, there aren't many families that own a refrigerator these days.

This is the most important thing.

If he gets a subsidized apartment in the future, Li Feng will consider buying a refrigerator. However, Li Feng doesn't know if the subsidized apartments allocated by the factory have bathrooms.

Li Feng would be quite happy if there were a bathroom.

However, Li Feng did not notice that someone was watching him on the road at that moment.

Li Feng was dressed in a cadre uniform. He was young and handsome, and many girls on their way home from get off work turned their attention to him.

Li Feng, however, was unaware of these things.

However, when it comes to wearing cadre uniforms, the most important thing is the overall demeanor. Li Feng definitely couldn't pull off a Zhongshan suit, but he could still wear a cadre uniform with four pockets and still look dignified.

However, it is not autumn or winter now, so the cadre uniform that Li Feng is wearing is basically worn by both young and old cadres.

Sometimes, clothing is all about conveying a certain aura, but if it's Mr. Li, then no matter what he wears, his leadership qualities are undeniable.

This is an innate part of his personal charm.

Li Feng is definitely no match for him, so Li Feng can only rely on his cadre uniform to make himself look good for now.

To be honest, Li Feng is the kind of guy who is quite handsome. Now that he's changed into a white shirt and black trousers, he looks quite stylish.

Therefore, Li Feng gets a relatively high rate of people turning their heads to look at him.

Just as Li Feng was pushing his cart near the alley entrance, the Third Uncle also arrived at the alley entrance with his cart.

At this moment, the third uncle looked at the person who was pushing his cart into the alley and seemed somewhat familiar, because he felt as if he had seen the person in front of him somewhere before.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the person who had pushed his bicycle into the yard with him was actually Li Feng.

This was something he hadn't expected.

Normally, Li Feng would wear a work uniform, but today was completely different because he saw Li Feng wearing a cadre's uniform.

When the third uncle saw Li Feng wearing a cadre uniform, he knew that Li Feng had indeed been joking with him last time.

After all, last time, everyone in the hospital thought Li Feng was a cadre, but in the end, Li Feng didn't admit it.

Although Li Feng did not admit that he was a cadre, both the Third Uncle and the other uncles believed that Li Feng was a cadre.

When the old man saw Li Feng wearing a cadre uniform, he was certain that Li Feng was a cadre, and a genuine one at that.

Otherwise, how could Li Feng have taken photos with so many older military officers and high-ranking leaders?

The young cadres who delivered the photos last time mentioned that the photos were sent by Minister Feng of the Publicity Department.

Although Uncle Yan Bugui knew that the Publicity Department was supposed to be in charge of propaganda, the other party was a high-ranking official.

At that level, could it be small?

Therefore, Yan Bugui always believed that Li Feng was familiar with Minister Feng, so Li Feng must also be an official.

Otherwise, Liu Haizhong wouldn't have said last time that Li Feng got into a car.

Is a car something that ordinary people can drive?
Although he was a small business owner, he was also a primary school teacher. Although he was not an administrative cadre, he understood these things.

The principals at my own school all ride bicycles.

As for Li Feng, he was able to ride in a car, and not just once. Now that Yan Bugui had personally seen Li Feng in cadre uniform, it was considered confirmation of this fact.

At that moment, he immediately called out to Li Feng.

Just then, Li Feng, who was pushing the cart, suddenly heard someone calling him, which made him feel a little strange.

So he looked behind him and saw that the Third Uncle was greeting him warmly.

Li Feng found it strange that the Third Uncle greeted him like that, since he and the Third Uncle were just ordinary neighbors.

This might also be related to the stinginess of the third uncle, and Li Feng doesn't like to talk to the other old men in the courtyard, so Li Feng's relationship with them is just average.

However, seeing that the Third Uncle was greeting him, Li Feng could only nod back in response.

"Third Uncle".

When Yan Bugui saw that Li Feng had responded to him, he immediately smiled and replied to Li Feng, and then asked Li Feng with a smile.

"Li Feng!"

"You look so smart today. Were you going to a meeting this morning?"

Li Feng didn't expect Yan Bugui to ask him these questions. At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but think, "Does it have anything to do with you whether I attend the meeting or not?"
Even though you are a teacher, I am not your student.

Even if you are my teacher, aren't you being a bit too nosy?
At this moment, Li Feng shook his head at Yan Bugui and said.

"no.".

Just as Yan Bugui was about to ask something, his second uncle arrived at the courtyard. He saw Yan Bugui talking to a young man in a cadre uniform, which made him feel a little strange.

So at this moment, he quickly stepped forward to see who Yan Bugui was talking to.

At this moment, he greeted Yan Bugui.

"Old Yan!"

When the third uncle, Yan Bugui, heard someone calling him, he looked behind him and saw the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, greeting him.

Just as Yan Bugui was about to say something to Liu Haizhong, Liu Haizhong immediately moved closer to Yan Bugui and then asked him with a smile.

"Old Yan, who are you talking to?"

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he looked at Li Feng and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

At this moment, he said to Li Feng with some surprise.

"It's you."

Then Liu Haizhong looked at Li Feng's cadre uniform, and then smiled at Li Feng and said.

"You look so energetic!"

"This is what a cadre should look like."

Then he said to Li Feng with a grin.

"It's so nice to put on the cadre uniform."

Li Feng shook his head at Liu Haizhong at this moment.

"This is what our workshop foreman asked me to wear."

"They said it's important to maintain a good image."

When Liu Haizhong heard Li Feng's words, he couldn't help but think to himself that he hadn't been wrong; Li Feng was indeed a cadre, judging from his appearance.

At the very least, he's at the deputy director level.

However, Liu Haizhong did not know what position Li Feng held in the factory.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong smiled and said to Li Feng.

"He's a cadre!"

"Indeed, one should pay attention to one's image, especially for high-ranking officials."

"If you're at the deputy director level, then this is perfect for you."

Li Feng was somewhat surprised when he heard Liu Haizhong's words.

Then he couldn't help but ask Liu Haizhong.

"The deputy director?"

"Some of our deputy directors don't have any official rank."

"Second Uncle, it's getting late."

"I need to go home and rest early, I have to go to work early tomorrow!"

After saying that, Li Feng quickly got ahead of them and went home.

As for the two of them, Liu Haizhong looked at Li Feng's back and then frowned.

"Old Yan!"

"Just what level is this Li Feng?"

Yan Bugui spread his hands and said helplessly to Liu Haizhong.

"You didn't even ask, how could I possibly find out?"

"However, in my opinion, the level is definitely not low."

"Didn't you just say you were a deputy section chief?"

"Isn't that right?"

Liu Haizhong shook his head.

"Actually, I'm not sure either!"

"To be honest, there's a big difference between deputy section chiefs."

"Sometimes it's like the difference between heaven and earth."

Do you think I could guess it?

"But now I'm certain of one thing: Li Feng really is a cadre, and a cadre with a rank at that."

“He denied it last time, but he was just talking nonsense.”

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at Liu Haizhong at this moment.

"How could I not know he was a cadre?"

"Everyone in the institute knows he's a cadre; who in the institute doesn't know he's a cadre now?"

Just as they were talking about Li Feng, Xu Damao returned from the factory.

He didn't go to the countryside to show movies today, so he went home as usual, just like he does at the factory.

Just then, he ran into the second and third uncles in the courtyard chatting, so he immediately went up to them and then asked Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui with a smile.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle".

"I just heard you talking about something from behind you."

When the second uncle and the third uncle saw that it was Xu Damao, the second uncle immediately told Xu Damao about the argument they had just had.

After listening to the two men's argument, Xu Damao smiled and said to them.

"I thought it was some kind of problem!"

"Oh, so that's what it is."

“I know what rank Li Feng holds in the factory, and I also know his position.”

After hearing what Xu Damao said, the second and third uncles couldn't help but ask him curiously.

"What level?"

Only then did Xu Damao reply to the two of them.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Li Feng is now the most promising young man in their factory."

"Li Feng is now the deputy director of the factory office."

"The deputy directors of the factory office, do you two understand?"

Yan Bugui didn't understand much about what was going on in the factory, but he knew a lot about his second uncle, who was quite ambitious for officialdom.

The factory office staff directly serve the factory director, and they can see the director almost every day.

If you can become a familiar face to the factory manager, everything will be much easier.

And since you're always hanging around in front of the factory manager, who else would be promoted if not you?

Therefore, the second uncle was very surprised that Li Feng had become the deputy director of the factory office.
