When they returned to the Huangtuo Village, it was already past lunch. Hu Feng unloaded the grains and noodles to the oxcart. When he finished, he was covered in sweat.
Hu Changlin gave Old Liu double the amount of rent, which made Old Liu very happy. All the displeasure in his heart disappeared instantly. He took away his oxcart with full of joy.
“Hu Feng, go to the backyard and wipe away the sweat in your body, then change your clothes.” Hu Changlin looked at Hu Feng with distressed and secretly cursed his own hand for being useless.
Hu Feng responded with a hum and turned to go to the backyard. Hu Changlin then turned and asked Bai Zhi: “Zhi’er, why did you bought so many grains and noodles? We can eat all year round with this amount.”
Hu Changlin knows Bai Zhi’s temperament, she was not the kind of child who will waste money. So, why does she have to buy so many grains and noodles? This kind of foods was loved by pest and insects. They will swarm in these foods if they stocked for long. By then, wouldn’t it become a waste?
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Hu Bo, I bought so many grains and noodles, not only for us to eat. I heard that there was a flood in the south. Many refugees have come in the Qingyuan Town. I don’t know how many homeless people will be there. Many poor people will definitely need help. We mustn’t just watch them starve to death.”
“Moreover, when we start building a house, there will be a lot of workers coming to work in the village. They all need to eat, so I will have to buy some more.”
But of course, these were only her fundamental reasons. She actually wanted the Rice Seller Boss to teach a lesson. However, she can’t tell this to him, because he will definitely disagree.
“Well, I will go to wash my face. My stomach is also grumbling in hunger.” Bai Zhi smiled and ran. She didn’t let Hu Changlin ask another question.

When Bai Zhi arrived at the backyard, Hu Feng was holding a cloth towel and wiping his body. His upper body was like a sculpture displayed in a museum. His muscular body was perfectly fit as if it was curved by a knife. His narrow waist doesn’t have excess meat. His straight and broad back and wet b.u.t.tocks couldn’t help but make a person swallow a… …
However, the red mark on his right shoulder was very noticeable. Hu Feng held her in his arms and used his back to blocked the brick that will hit her head.
Once again, Hu Feng stood in front of her a mountain.
Hu Feng turned and saw Bai Zhi stupidly standing in the backyard, so he couldn’t help but ridicule: “What? Haven’t you seen a topless guy?”
Bai Zhi"s face redden as she said: “Who said that I haven’t seen it? I have seen plenty. And what’s so great about topless guy? If you have the guts show me your a.s.s instead!”
After she finished, Bai Zhi regretted it a lot. This was something she jokes around with her colleagues in the modern times. In the modern times where no one will take it so seriously.
However, she was not in the modern time now… …
Sure enough, Hu Feng was stupefied and asked: “What did you just say?”
Bai Zhi hurriedly shook her head: “No, I didn’t say anything, I didn’t say anything.” Then, she hurriedly runs away like a rabbit. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace.
Hu Feng blinked his eyes and rubbed his ears. He heard it right. He was sure he didn’t hear it wrong… …
Bai Zhi ran back directly to the cabin house and didn’t eat any.
Hu Changlin who arrived in the backyard opened his mouth and said: “This child said she was hungry, so why she was running again? Hu Feng, you’re still here? Go and have lunch, then bring Zhi’er something to eat.”
