I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Half a day later, Wang Er wiped the sweat off his face and exhaled heavily.

After working hard for two and a half days, he finally completed the two-bedroom, one-living-room wooden house, half a day faster than expected.

Wang Er was very satisfied, his mind was full of fantasies, he could even imagine the scene of Zhao Muxin marrying him.

"Pig farmer, come here!"

Wang Er called out to him, and Yuan Feng, who was studying alchemy, quickly put down his work.

"Huo, the house was built so quickly, it looks so beautiful. Hey, your craftsmanship is better than your father's."

"Then you tell me?" Wang Er put his hands on his hips, very proud, "Tell me, young lady, when do you plan to marry me?"

"Get married?" Yuan Feng looked puzzled. "When did Mu Xin agree to marry you? Did she tell you in person?"

If he said it, all Yuan Feng could do was to give his blessing.

"Didn't you say that?" Wang Er became anxious.

"When did I say that? You can't talk nonsense. Marriage is a major event in life, and it's not something to joke about."

"You clearly said that if I built the house, the young lady would fall in love with me."

"Maybe!" Yuan Feng quickly corrected, "I said maybe. You have to ask her whether she is willing or not."

"Then I'll go ask the young lady!" Wang Er said and did it, and went straight to Zhao Muxin who was cooking.

"Help you succeed!"

Yuan Feng grinned and looked at the new house excitedly.

Yuanfeng didn’t care whether Wang Er’s matter could be solved or not. Anyway, he had got his own house and finally didn’t have to live in that small, leaky wooden house anymore.

"Huo, this big stove, the food cooked on it must be more delicious than the small stove! Huo, this big living room! Huo, this big bedroom, two big rooms!"

Yuan Feng was so happy that he kept singing "Huo" and almost started singing "Nunchucks".

After seeing the new house, you can move in. Zhao Muxin has cooked wolf meat, so you can use it as a housewarming party.

As soon as he went out, he ran into the dejected Wang Er.

"She doesn't agree to you?" Yuan Feng asked knowingly.

Wang Er shook his head.

"So she agreed? Then why are you unhappy?"

"She...she's avoiding me." Wang Er suddenly got excited. "Do you think she doesn't like me at all?"

"I don't know that."

Yuan Feng really couldn't say it directly. Wang Er's appearance was too difficult to describe. Unless he became rich, no woman would be attracted to him.

"Tell me, what's wrong with me? I've done everything you said. I'm hardworking and I have the skills." Wang Er really didn't understand.

"I think that you may not be so good-looking, but maybe if you change your clothes, you will have a chance." Yuan Feng tried his best to be tactful.

"You're talking bullshit. I'm not good-looking? Look at my head!" Wang Er showed off his height, then looked at Yuan Feng, and immediately felt guilty, "I won't compare with you. Apart from you, is there anyone in our village who is taller than me?"

Yuan Feng thought about it seriously and realized that it was true.

But in this village, there are only two young men like them. The others are all elderly and have shrunk in height. There is really nothing to be proud of.

"Look at your face again..." Wang Er looked at Yuan Feng, "I won't compare with you. You are too white, like a pretty boy. Besides, good looks can't make a living."

The more Wang Er spoke, the more guilty he felt. In terms of appearance, he was completely defeated by Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng touched his chin... Am I a pretty boy? I think I'm pretty dark.

He was definitely not a pretty boy, but compared to Wang Er, he was indeed pale. Mainly because Wang Er liked to run to the water and got tanned like charcoal.

"No!" Wang Er suddenly realized, "Are you kidding me? You said that young ladies like hardworking men. You are lying to me just to make me build a house for you for free."

"What are you talking about!" Yuan Feng's voice was loud, but he felt a little uneasy because he was seen through. "Am I that kind of person? If you think I'm fooling you, you can tear down the house now!"

"Demolish it!"

Wang Er doesn't live in the house, and he doesn't feel bad at all.

But Yuan Feng felt distressed, and quickly thought: "Then think about it, this house is for Mu Xin to live in. If you demolish it now, not only will it be a waste of effort, but it will also make Mu Xin hate it!"

"I hate her if I want to. Since I can't be your wife, let her hate me!" Wang Er was determined and vowed to tear down the house today.

This scared Yuan Feng... Oh my god, this Wang Er is not a purebred bootlicker, he is a Border Collie among bootlickers, and he has intelligence.

"Wait, listen to me, tell me again, what did Mu Xin do to you just now?"

"What else are you talking about? She's avoiding me because she doesn't like me!"

"Pah!" Yuan Feng clapped his hands. "Now here comes the problem. How can you be sure that she is not shy?"

"Ah? There is such a possibility."

"Of course I have. Isn't it normal for girls to be shy?"

"So, I still have a chance?"

“There’s a great chance.”

"So...what should I do next?"

"Did you listen to the advice I gave you?"

"I'll listen. Of course I'll listen, Brother Feng. Everyone in the village knows how smart you are. Please give me some advice." Thinking that he still had a chance, Wang Er became enthusiastic.

"Now I'll tell you what to do, go home first."

"Okay, let's go home." Wang Er paused, "Are you kidding me?"

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet, take this piece of meat." Yuan Feng took out a large piece of wolf meat from the storage bag.

From Wang Er's perspective, the meat appeared out of thin air.

"How did you get this meat?" Wang Er asked curiously.

"Don't worry about that. Let me ask you, you are not outstanding in appearance. Do you admit this?"

Yuan Feng's question hit Wang Er's soul directly, making him hesitate for a moment, and finally he stomped his feet.

"Yes! My father also said that I am not very handsome."

Your father is still polite.

Yuan Feng really wanted to complain, but he held it back.

"So, if you want to win a woman's heart, you have to change your appearance."

"My appearance was given to me by my parents. How can you ask me to change it?"

Wang Er was very dissatisfied. He had looked like this since he was a child, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks. Could it be that he had to learn the art of disguise? That was a trick to deceive people, and he would not learn it.

"It's impossible to change your face, but you're too thin now. If you eat more meat, you'll be more energetic. If you have the chance, change into nice clothes, and it's possible for you to charm thousands of girls. Remember the saying, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse."

Wang Er touched his face doubtfully: "Yes, I have lost some weight, but I can't gain weight with just this piece of meat."

"I have already given you the solution and given you a piece of meat. The rest depends on your efforts."

“The question is how hard?”

"Don't you have a skill? If you don't slack off and build houses for people, you will have money to buy meat. You can eat as much as you want."

"And then you can buy new clothes?" Wang Er took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"Right, what should I do next? I don't need to teach you any more, right?"

"I'm going home now and preparing to go to the city to build houses for people!"

Wang Er grabbed the meat and ran out excitedly.

"Remember, you have wolf meat on your hands. It has a strong smell, so add more seasoning."

Yuan Feng watched him walk away with satisfaction, feeling quite touched.

I managed to get a lazy guy onto the right track. Should I add the words “life mentor” to my title?

"Brother Feng, it's time to eat!"

"Hey, here we come!"

To celebrate his new home, Yuan Feng decided to announce something big!
