Zhou Xiaofeng responded quickly, but there was nothing to give. Seeing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table, he took a piece and gave it to Ru’er.
“Ru’er is good. Have a cake.”
A child is a child. As soon as she saw delicious food, her timidity disappeared. She reached out and took it, then smiled sweetly: “Thank you Dage!”
Hu Changlin on the side said: “I think you might be confused. I’ll make it clear for you. Zhi’er called Awu ‘dage’ and Sue ‘sister-in-law, but Ru’er called her ‘sister Zhi’. There’s nothing to be confused about it, you can call them the way you want, but as for Zhi’er? Looking at you, you must be at least 12-years-old, right?”
Zhou Xiaofeng busily said: “13-years-old.”
Zhao Lan asked: “What month is your birthday?”
Zhou Xiaofeng replied: “Month of March.”
Hu Changlin happily said: “I see, Xiaofeng is half a year older than Zhi’er!”
Zhou Xiaofeng’s eyes fell on Bai Zhi’s body. She was 13 years old? She was younger than himself? Why does he felt like she talked nothing like 12 or 13 years-old?
Bai Zhi calmly said: “It doesn't matter what you call me, it 's just an address. Since Xiaofeng and I are similar in age and not related to each other, then there is no such thing as mess up generation. I will just call him Xiaofeng. He can call me Bai Zhi, would that be alright?”
Zhou Awu nodded his head again and again: “Yes, yes, it’s alright to be called this way. The set rule of generations is but an empty talk. We don’t need to follow it.”

Seeing that everyone was present, Bai Zhi took everyone to the new house. Song Gong and his men were waiting at the gate of the yard. When they saw them, he greeted them immediately.
“Miss Bai, we got up early today and finished the last bit of work. You can check it first and tell me if you have any questions.”
The house was originally a two-and-a-half-storey western-style building. Later on, because of Zhou Awu’s family, Bai Zhi added another floor. Now it was a three-and-a-half-storey western-style building. There was no room on the first floor. There was only living and a dining area. There were two rooms on the second and third floor. The top floor was an attic with a large terrace.
No one had ever seen a house like this in Huangtou Village. Even Song Gong, who worked as a foreman for so many years, hasn’t seen such a house.
The house was started with the foundation. Every step they took was according to Bai Zhi’s instructions. No one expected that when the house was completed, it would become like this. The appearance was unique and new, people couldn’t help but admire it.
People in Huangtuo Village, as long as they have free time, they often come here to look. They look for a long time, but they were still surprised and full of admiration. It’s just, they didn’t know that it was Bai Zhi’s design. They thought it was the unique style of construction men in the town. People who have the heart to build a house inquired about the pricing, but who can afford it?
Song Gong then said: “Boss Chen of the Diner sent someone to find me. He also wants to build a new house. He said to build a house like yours. Miss Bai, do you think it’s alright?”Song Gong was a little hesitant. After all, this house was designed by Bai Zhi. If Bai Zhi refused, he will not do it.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Of course, I don't care about it. Not because I have a connection with Boss Chen, even irrelevant people are fine. But I remind you, there are some special designs that they might don’t know how to use it. If they encounter a problem later, and they don’t know how to fix it themselves. They might come and give you trouble.”
