Bai Zhi asked another question: “Are you a foreman?”
The young man shook his head: “I am not a foreman. My father is the foreman, but if you want to start a house, telling me is the same.”
Bai Zhi clapped her hands: and said: “That’s great, it saved me a lot of time. I lived in Huangtuo Village. My name is Bai Zhi. If you have time, take your father to our village and find me. I will draw a good house that you will build. If you can build it, we can discuss the price.”
The young man was overjoyed, the house that they were building will be completed soon. The brothers who worked with him were mostly foreigners. If they didn’t get another job, they will definitely leave. It will be hard to look for them again.
“Good, that’s good. My name is Song Qingfeng. My father is a well-known house builder in Qingyuan Town. Everyone calls him Song Gong.”
The more Bai Zhi heard how great the person she met, the more she was satisfied. After all, the more they were capable, the more they’ll be able to build the house she wants.
Song Qingfeng watched Bai Zhi leave. Seeing that she climbed the oxcart full of foods. He knew ordinary people cannot buy so many foods like that, so he was more convinced that the little girl was not bragging.

After leaving the town, the road became bumpy. Bai Zhi felt uncomfortable. So, she went down the oxcart and walked beside Hu Feng.
Seeing Hu Feng ignoring her, Bai Zhi smiled and asked: “Are you still angry?”
Hu Feng just looked in front of him, he didn’t even blink an eye.
“Well, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have gone to a dangerous place. You suffered because of me, I’m really sorry, okay?”
Hu Feng tilted his face, which made him looked arrogant: “If an apology is so useful, can it be used to cure the pain on my back?”
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and said: “What do you want me to do? Kneel in front of you and apologize?”
Hu Feng sneered: “You don’t have to, because even if you cut your knees, it can’t help me. If you are truly sincere, just cook me a good meal.”
Bai Zhi swept her eyes on the bag on the ox cart. The bag contained some fresh vegetables. One of them was leeks, which Hu Feng bought… …
“Do you want to eat dumplings?”
Hu Feng sighed: “I don’t know if it’s possible to eat dumplings without meat.”
This guy, he deliberately made a long face, originally to force her to make him dumplings?
“We have eggs, leeks, and other stuff. Egg dumplings are also delicious.”
Bai Zhi looked at Hu Feng, she saw his thin lips slightly curved into a smile. The usual coldness in his eyes seemed had melted a lot. His smile was shallow, he didn’t laugh. But, he doesn’t look like indifferent like before.
“You look very good when you smile, you should smile a bit more often.” Bai Zhi said so suddenly, even she herself was shocked.
Sure enough, Hu Feng immediately flattened his lips. The smile on the corner of his lips disappeared in an instant. He even had this cold atmosphere again. And his eyes had black lines.
The farther away from the town, the road became worst and the slower the ox cart moved. In order for the ox cart to move a bit faster, Hu Feng and the Uncle who drove the ox cart pushed behind the cart, while Bai Zhi was pulling in front.
