nThe other horse also had a name called “Hou Fu”, which meant that one would definitely be blessed after surviving a disaster.

nFu Fu could already stand up. When it saw Chu Qingzhi, it trotted over.

nChu Qingzhi touched the two horses gently. Then she took out a five-colored thread. “Jinghong, extend your hand. I’ll put it on for you.”

nThe five-colored thread was mainly used to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits.

nIt also had a nice name—Longevity Thread.

nTang Jinghong glanced at the colorful thread on Chu Qingzhi’s wrist and stretched out his hand for Chu Qingzhi to put it on for him.

nHowever, his gaze secretly landed on Chu Qingzhi’s eyelashes.

nChu Qingzhi’s eyelashes were long and curled. They fluttered gently and were very beautiful.

nHe felt like his heart was tickled by those fluttering eyelashes. His heart felt itchy, and it was throbbing uncontrollably.

nAt this moment, he really wanted to hug the girl in front of him.

nHe called out softly, “Qingzhi…”

nChu Qingzhi looked up. Her fair face faced the sunlight and one could see her fine hair. “What’s wrong?”

nTang Jinghong clenched his fists. He swore that tonight, he would definitely express his feelings to the girl in front of him, but at this moment, he only said, “Nothing.”

nHowever, Chu Qingzhi was suddenly in the mood to tease him. “Jinghong, let me ask you a question.”

nTang Jinghong was a little curious. “What is it?”

nChu Qingzhi touched her face and deliberately leaned closer to Tang Jinghong. They were only a foot away. “Do you think I’m beautiful?”

nThe young girl’s nice smell assaulted his nose. Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi’s clear eyes in a daze. He said sincerely, “Beautiful.”

nIn his heart, she was the most beautiful.

nChu Qingzhi revealed a shyness that only young girls had. She cupped her face and asked, “How beautiful am 1?”

nTang Jinghong looked around and saw a bright sunflower. He walked over and picked it. “It’s as beautiful as this sunflower.” As he spoke, he inserted the sunflower into Chu Qingzhi’s bun.

nChu Qingzhi blushed for the first time. Her face turned slightly red. The pink color made her skin look tender and even more tempting.

nWhen Tang Jinghong saw Chu Qingzhi like this, he couldn’t help but be tempted. Not only was Chu Qingzhi beautiful, but she was also very cute.

nThe atmosphere became more and more lovey-dovey. Even the two horses seemed to sense it and turned their faces away.

nAfter a while, Chu Qingzhi stopped joking around. “1 called you here for something serious.” She turned around and looked at the two horses.

nTang Jinghong turned his head slightly. “What is it?”

nChu Qingzhi handed a piece of paper to Tang Jinghong. “Take a look. Do you like this layout?”

nTang Jinghong unfolded the paper. On it was the design of the house. Previously, Tang Jinghong had asked Chu Qingzhi to help him design it.

nIt was a two-story bungalow with a small courtyard in front. It was unique and beautiful.

nTang Jinghong liked it at a glance. He thought for a moment and asked Chu Qingzhi, “Do you like this house?”

nChu Qingzhi blurted out, “I designed it, so of course I like it.”

nA trace of joy flashed across Tang Jinghong’s eyes. “When will your house be built?”

n“According to the current progress…” Chu Qingzhi calculated in her heart. “It’ll probably take another two months.”

nTang Jinghong thought for a moment and said, “Then you can start building my house after your house is built?”

nChu Qingzhi said, “There’s no need to wait. If you want to build it, I can get people to start doing the ground work immediately.”

nTang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi. “Then where do you think I should build the house?”

nChu Qingzhi thought about the layout of the village. “There’s a place beside the wasteland that’s backed by a mountain and has good feng shui. You can consider it, but the problem is that the land belongs to someone else.”

n“I can buy it,” Tang Jinghong said straightforwardly. “Bring me to take a look. If it’s suitable, I’ll talk to the land owner after the Dragon Boat Festival.”

nChu Qingzhi said, “Alright, let’s go.”

nAfter informing her family, Chu Qingzhi brought Tang Jinghong out.

nThe entire village was busy celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival at home. There was no one outside, but fragrance wafted out of the houses. The festive atmosphere was very strong.

nToday, the construction workers were also on leave. The wasteland was relatively quiet. There was a rectangular piece of land beside it that was planted with sorghum. The sorghum was as tall as half a person, but because of the lack of water, the leaves were curled up and the plants were turning yellow.

nChu Qingzhi pointed. “It’s that sorghum field.”

nTang Jinghong looked up. The sorghum in the field had already dried. Even if it rained now, the harvest would not be good. He could try to negotiate the purchase with the landowner. “I’ve made up my mind. I’ll build a house here.”

nChu Qingzhi joked, “Sure. In the future, we’ll be neighbors. You can come over to my house to eat everyday.”

nTang Jinghong laughed. “That’s a good idea.”

nChu Qingshuang had just returned from sending her master a gift. When she saw two figures on the wasteland, she walked over. “Fifth Sister, Brother Jinghong, what are you doing here?”

nChu Qingzhi said, “Jinghong wants to build a house here, so 1 brought him over to take a look.”

nChu Qingshuang’s round cat eyes immediately widened. “Then, does that mean we are going to be neighbors in the future?”

nTang Jinghong smiled and said, “Yes, am I welcome?”

nChu Qingshuang quite liked Tang Jinghong, but she only treated him as a big brother. She felt that Tang Jinghong was especially reliable. “Welcome, welcome. That way, we can take care of each other.”

nTang Jinghong said, “I still have to talk to the land owner. Let’s go back first.”

n“Okay.” Chu Qingshuang walked over and held Chu Qingzhi’s wrist. They returned home together.

nUpon returning home, they saw many villagers gathered at their house.

nThird Uncle took the lead. “Your family has helped the village a lot. This is everyone’s token of appreciation. Don’t reject it.”

nGrandpa Chu stood in front of the villagers happily and felt proud. “Thank you, everyone.”

nThird Uncle took the lead and placed a chicken in his hand in the central room. The chicken was tied up and could not escape. “I have to go back. There are still things to do at home.”

nThe villagers placed their things in the central room and bade farewell.

nAfter everyone left, Chu Qingzhi looked around curiously. There were people who sent crispy peanuts, fried chicken drumsticks, and fried crispy meat. There were simply all kinds of food.

nShe took a piece of fried crispy meat and tasted it. It was crunchy and delicious. “Grandpa, this is not bad.”

nGrandpa Chu immediately handed the plate to Chu Qingzhi and said dotingly, “If you like it, you can eat it all..”
