Zhang Buren and his wife live near the Central Primary School, the "highest school" in the county.The landlord is Cheng Ziqing, the accountant in Zhou Laojiu's foreign goods store.Mr. Hu San, director of Shantang, introduced and acted as guarantee. Cheng Ziqing was not interested in Ms. Pan Yunxian's hand, and never looked at it carefully.The good-for-nothing or the young master class once asked him when they were shopping: "Hey, old Cheng, tell me, you are her landlord!" Cheng Ziqing always shook his head in answer. In fact, no one in X County has ever taken the hand of the "Eighth Young Mistress" as a matter of investigation, except for the good-for-nothing people who occupy the teahouse all day long and the so-called "conservative" young master class with "noble professional titles" Research.All over the county and the streets are clamoring for the lottery for the training of strong men, how can I have the leisure to control other people's hands!

What Cheng Ziqing often cared about was Zhang's unbearable feet.Whenever he came home and saw Zhang Buren's leather shoes covered with mud, he would ask: "Eighth Young Master, have you gone to the countryside again? Have you checked the graveyard?" Sometimes Zhang couldn't bear to answer: "I checked one place, and the tenants are honest, but the village head is very tricky, and he made trouble out of it." Sometimes he shook his head and said: "It's a waste of time. Even Sizhi can't figure out where it is today." "Take your time." Cheng Ziqing said comfortingly, so he hesitated for a while, and then asked again: "Did you see the construction of the car road?"

Zhang couldn't bear to shake his head, and Cheng Ziqing was speechless. One day, when Cheng Ziqing asked about the investigation with great concern, Zhang couldn't bear to shout angrily: "Forget it! It's so troublesome, I really want to let go." "Ah! But Mr. Hu San's good intentions can't let him down. Besides, it's not easy for you to come here, so you have to find out." Zhang Buren just smiled wryly.Why did he come here to check the cemetery?And he didn't even know that there were ancestral cemeteries here.It's all Mr. Hu San's instructions. He's fine anyway, so he might as well go to the countryside to have a look.Besides, it seemed more or less serious to keep him.

Cheng Ziqing waited for a while, and seeing that there was nothing to say, he touched his chin and asked quietly: "Master Eighth, that car road is about to be built quickly, have you seen the construction started there?" "Oh, I don't understand." Zhang couldn't bear to be lifted up by this question. "No, I haven't seen the construction started yet. They say it's for military use. Uh, Mr. Cheng, have you heard any special news?" "I just heard that construction is going to be rushed. When the road is built, a division of soldiers will be sent to the county to garrison."

"oh oh!" "Master, do you think there will be a war this year?" "It's hard to say." Zhang couldn't bear to answer casually, and looked at the sky sympathetically, his thoughts flew far away,—a far place that Cheng Ziqing never expected.Cheng Ziqing's heart also left this room, wandering on the road of the future car.He has a piece of land, and the assumed route runs across his land, leaving only a small corner on one side for him; he once asked Lu Ziweng to ask someone to shut him down, not asking for complete exemption, but asking the route to be slightly slanted so that they can be separated. The two small corners on both sides merged to form a big corner, and he had already agreed to it; but as long as the road was not opened, he would feel worried.

"Since the road needs to be built, let's build it quickly!" Cheng Ziqing said with a sigh, looking at Zhang Can't bear it, and smiled lonely.
