"You seem distracted; it looks like you're thinking about women!"

The next day, Zhao Jinquan was still not quite right, and Feng Cheng couldn't help but have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

The main problem is that this guy has absolutely no interest in working now, so what should have been his job has become Feng Cheng's. Feng Cheng has no problem with him wanting to be with women, but he can't stand him not working.

"Tell me, which one have you taken a fancy to?"

"Brother Feng, I didn't," Zhao Jinquan was startled by Feng Cheng's words, his body tensed, and he waved his hands in a panic to deny it.

Feng Cheng glanced at him and said calmly, "I've had girlfriends before. Do you think you can fool me? Besides, anyone can tell there's something wrong with you right now."

"Hmm, except for Zhao Tianshan," Feng Cheng silently added in his mind.

"what!"

Zhao Jinquan was shocked: "Brother Feng, you're kidding me, right!"

Feng Cheng glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

Zhao Jinquan remained silent, unsure whether Feng Cheng was bluffing him.

However, Zhao Jinquan and Feng Cheng had a good relationship, and he was willing to talk to Feng Cheng about many things, so after a moment of silence, Zhao Jinquan finally spoke.

"Brother Feng, I think I've fallen for him."

"Who?"

"That one named Meng Yue."

"As for her, you've got no chance. She already has a boyfriend, and they're at the point of discussing marriage. If she hadn't been assigned here, she'd probably be preparing for her wedding right now."

Feng Cheng's words struck Zhao Jinquan like a bolt from the blue: "You have a boyfriend."

"Yeah, she's so pretty, do you think you're the only one who's interested in her, and others haven't?"

Zhao Jinquan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say. Was he not afraid of having a boyfriend? This era was not like later times, where stealing someone else's partner was commonplace, and if you succeeded, you could even brag about it. In this era, if someone had a partner, it meant you had no chance. If you tried to steal someone else's partner, you would be condemned and despised by everyone. If you failed, only you would be despised; if you succeeded, both of you would be despised.

Feng Cheng said, "Aren't there four girls? This isn't suitable. Aren't there three more? Maybe one of them will like you."

Zhao Jinquan shook his head, looking dejected and unwilling to speak.

Seeing him like this, Feng Cheng didn't mean to discourage Zhao Jinquan. It was just that he would find out about these things sooner or later. It wasn't something that could be kept secret. It was better to tell him himself than to let him hear it from someone else. At least he wouldn't lose his composure in front of others. After all, he was at an age where he cared about his image. If he lost his composure in front of others and everyone knew what he was thinking, he would be in big trouble.

Experiencing many death scenes can temper one's heart, making one stronger and more fearless. However, Feng Cheng felt that it was better not to experience such things if possible, because he had encountered them several times in his previous life, and he regretted it for a long time afterward.

Half an hour later, seeing that Zhao Jinquan was still in the same state, Feng Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Get back to work. I'll think of a solution for you after we're done."

"What can we do? Can we really make them break up?"

Zhao Jinquan muttered a couple of things, then, ignoring Feng Cheng's reaction, picked up the bucket and went to fetch water.

"Hey…"

Feng Cheng watched the guy's retreating figure and immediately became displeased. "Your temper has grown, huh? You'll be begging me later and I still won't give you any advice."

...

Camp.

At this moment, Zhao Tianshan, along with Wei Fugui, Sui Zhichao, and Da Kui, were repairing the girls' bathroom.

When they woke up in the morning, they heard that the girls' room didn't have a shower room, so Sui Zhichao and Na Da Kui volunteered to come and help. As for the other two, one was reading in the room and the other was pretending to be dead.

Since being humiliated by Feng Cheng yesterday, Wu Yansheng has lost the arrogance and pride he had when he first arrived, and has become much quieter now.

"Captain, what do you usually do on the dam? Do you just work every day? Don't you have any free time?"

Sui Zhichao helped set up the pillar, wiped the sweat from his face, and chatted with Zhao Tianshan beside him.

Zhao Tianshan said, "Now that it's spring, there's a lot of work to do, and we basically don't have any free time. But you don't need to be so busy. We've already divided up most of the work, so you'll just be lending a hand."

“With you here, things will be a bit easier for us. We’re short-handed on the dam. We had recruited three people to come to the dam a while ago, but one of them turned out to be a robber. We found him and handed him over to the police. With one less person, things are a bit tight.”

"Robber, what did you steal?"

Upon hearing this, Sui Zhichao immediately became interested, and Da Kui also looked at Zhao Tianshan with curiosity. Who wouldn't want to hear gossip?

"It's like this," Zhao Tianshan briefly explained Zhang Fulin's situation to them. It had been a long time since the incident. Zhao Tianshan heard that Zhang Fulin was sentenced to seven years because Qu He said he had turned himself in when he was brought in, and Qu He also pleaded with the police. In addition, Zhang Fulin was still unaware that the person he beat was dead. Therefore, the police considered the circumstances and sentenced him to seven years, which was considered a lenient sentence.

"Are those two horseshoe-shaped gold ingots very expensive?" Sui Zhichao continued to ask.

"I'm not too sure about that, but Feng Cheng said it's a cultural relic, an antique, and if it finds someone who likes it, it could easily sell for seven or eight thousand or even ten thousand yuan."

“It’s so expensive.”

"Hey, whether it's expensive or not is none of our business. Are you going to steal this thing?"

"How could that be? I was just curious. Besides, I don't have the guts!"

"It's fine if we don't. We are all people who have been educated by the Party and the country. We can't do anything that would let down the country and the people."

"That's for sure."

"Hey, Shen Mengyin, what brings you here?"

Just as the group of men were chatting, Shen Mengyin and Ji Xiurong walked over.

Ji Xiurong said, "Let's see how our bathroom is coming along."

"Captain, you're just going to fence it off with thatch? That's way too simple!" Shen Mengyin looked at the bathroom the group had set up and was somewhat dissatisfied.

Zhao Tianshan said, "Isn't this what you need urgently? We can only do it like this for now. You can make do with it for the time being. When Zhao Jinquan has some free time in a few days, I'll have him make some wooden planks and turn this place into a wooden house. That way, it will be warm enough to take a bath in when it's cold."

Shen Mengyin said happily, "That's great! I was wondering how I would take a bath when it's cold. If we make a wooden partition, we won't have to worry about drafts coming in, and it won't be so cold when we take a bath in winter."

Ji Xiurong said, "Shen Mengyin, things are different here in the north than in Shanghai. We only take a bath once every month or two in winter because it's too cold. Also, we don't go anywhere in winter and just stay at home, so we don't sweat much and therefore take fewer baths."

Shen Mengyin shook her head: "That's you guys. I need to shower every day, otherwise I can't stand it."

"Shen Mengyin, if you dare to take a bath every day in winter, I will admire you and praise you for being amazing."

Sui Zhichao grinned and said to Shen Mengyin.

"Dare, why not?"
