You Miao tugged at Li Zhifeng's ear and said, "Hello."

"Huh?" Li Zhifeng said.

You Miao wanted to tease him a few words, but he didn't know what to say, so he lay down on his back, with both hands hanging lazily from his shoulders, dangling and sticking to his ear. : "Hey, what about you, is the market far away?"

That question has been asked once, and when You Miao said this, he was blatantly teasing him, just like in the capital, You Miao used this trick to try Li Yan, and it was almost unsatisfactory. Every time he molested him, Li Yan would He glared at him, then beat him, and then hugged him in his arms and kissed him.

Li Zhifeng's reaction was that a handsome face instantly turned red.

"Ask you something..." You Miao whispered close to his ear.

Li Zhifeng turned his head to look at You Miao, and instantly kissed his lips, You Miao closed his eyes, lay on his back, and when he kissed, something seemed to melt in his heart.

"It's not far." When the lips were split, the blush on Li Zhifeng's face had not subsided, and he walked on his own.

You Miao put his fingers into Li Zhifeng's ears and turned around, Li Zhifeng's breathing became rapid, and his steps were a little empty. Didn't you feed you?"

You Miao smiled and the two reached the riverside on the east side of Guozhuang. Li Zhifeng's mouth was slightly upturned and he said, "Here we are."

The Yangtze River passes through the Gaoya area of Jiangbo Villa, and here it turns into a wave of waves. There is a wharf here, which is specially used for loading and unloading goods in Shudong, Badong and Jiangchengfu. To the north of Yangzhou.

There is a bustling market in front of the pier. It is a mile away. Half of the stalls on both sides are selling fish, and the other half are rouge gouache, Su embroidered sea salt, clothing and food products, and jugglers are holding three monkeys.

Youmiao wandered around, but there was nothing to buy, but he wanted to eat some fish, so he chose two big carp and said, "Buy this and eat it back."

Li Zhifeng was carrying the fish, and the two of them turned around again. A large ferry boat with an open canopy stopped by the river and shouted, "Cross-the river--hey-"

The two got on the boat and threw two copper coins into the bamboo tube, and the boatman slowly supported the boat across the river.

"You have to enclose the boundary outside the villa." You Miao said.

"Yeah." Li Zhifeng said, "Use the fence, I'll circle."

You Miao said: "Actually, as long as there are people in the land next to Guozhuang, find a few households and let them guard it, and then set up a few sentries."

Li Zhifeng nodded, You Miao watched the river roll, and the river in the south of the Yangtze River was not frozen, which was a good thing. There are too many things to do, reclamation, farming, watermills, renting... The house hasn't been repaired yet.

Youmiao licked his lips, noticed the carp that Li Zhifeng was holding with his eyes rolled, and said, "This fish is delicious, you won't be able to get it."

Li Zhifeng said, "Yes, grilled fish."

You Miao said, "I'll leave it to you when I go back."

When the boat docked, You Miao found out how many times the ferry went back and forth every day, so he followed the crowd. The dock where the ferry was parked was five miles away from the boundary of Jiangbo Villa. The two of them had to walk slowly back to the entrance of the villa. At the same place, You Miao discovered a large pit covering an area of more than ten acres, and the pit was full of grass.

"Is this a pond?" You Miao asked in surprise.

"Young Master You." A thin man was squatting beside the big pit smoking dry cigarettes. When he saw You Miao coming, he smiled and said, "Why did the young master go out? Didn't see anyone?"

"Well." You Miao walked a few steps around the pit and said, "Your family lives here? What's your name?"

The thin man pointed to the west with the chimney, and said with an apologetic smile, "The youngest is called Zhu Tang. I was just scolded by my daughter-in-law, so I went out for a walk."

You Miao nodded. The first time he saw him yesterday, he knew that most of this fellow didn't want to leave. When he said that he was scolded by his wife, he could guess that he must have come to the door to ask for a lower rent, and he was reprimanded by his wife. But he didn't break it. He smiled and said, "If I give you one cent of the land rent, will you leave?"

Zhu Tang was startled immediately, and when he was about to nod his head, he thought of something and said, "I'm too young... go back and ask my daughter-in-law."

You Miao said: "Well, I originally wanted to reduce the rent for you, but I said that I don't want to farm, and I didn't have time to say this yesterday. You can go back and discuss it with your daughter-in-law. Now you need to find some money. The land is not easy, but I will not lie to you, it is better for me to plant the land for my father."

Zhu Tang said with a flattering smile: "Young master is right, even the north side of Guozhuang has to charge four cents of the land rent."

You Miao snorted, looking at the big pit, it was clearly a big lake, why did the water dry up? The three walked along the lake to the far west. You Miao saw another stream, pointed to Anlu in the south, and said, "Is this pond empty?"

Zhu Tang said: "It's been ten years. When there was water in the past, Liang Bo was still fishing here. When it rained in spring and summer, he still accumulated some bottoms from time to time."

You Miao asked again, "Where does this stream lead to?"

Zhu Tang said, "As for Anlu Village, everything else in our villa is good, but the water is inconvenient."

You Miao nodded slowly, already knowing what to do, patted Zhu Tang on the shoulder, with a mature and serious look, and went back to the villa with Li Zhifeng along the road.

You Miao only felt that time passed too fast, and it was past noon without doing anything at all. The two craftsmen were brothers, and they were called Da Liang Xiao Liang. When You Miao came back, he handed him a piece of paper and said, "In the front yard. The things to be repaired are all on top of it, please take a look at it, young master."

The things drawn on the paper were marked with a lot of characters, which were incomprehensible to ordinary people, but for You Miao, it was no problem. I'll be here later."

You Miao entered the study, spread out the book of Heavenly Works, and adjusted a few places according to the size of the girders.

Daliang saw that You Miao was knowledgeable and said, "Young master has also learned this craft?"

You Miao smiled and said, "My mother also learned from my grandfather back then."

This time, the two craftsmen did not dare to underestimate him any longer. They gestured, played ink lines, and painted powder. You Miao returned to the study and motioned Li Zhifeng to push the desk to the front of the couch.

Li Zhifeng said, "I'll just keep an eye on them."

Youmiao waved his hand and said, "Don't stare, they don't dare to mess around, just go and bake the fish later."

The puppy came over, curled up in front of the couch, wagged his tail, You Miao leaned on Li Zhifeng, the man Li Zhifeng was very warm, hugged him, You Miao felt a little distracted, wanted to strip his clothes, and was in the study Messing around during the day.

But the craftsman was still outside, and if he was seen, he wouldn't make a joke, so he had to endure it.

You Miao found another copy of "The Book of Public Transport" and looked at it with relish. After a while, all that little thought was attracted by the organ diagram in the book.
