Zhen Yue: "My leg is cramped, please rub it for me."

Qiao Chao was stunned for a moment, "How to rub it?"

Zhen Yue: "Nonsense, how can you rub it? Just pinch my legs with your hands."

Qiao Chao: “...Oh.” He stretched out his hand, put it on her calf and began to rub it. Slowly, the painful expression on Zhen Yue’s face finally eased. About a quarter of an hour later, Zhen Yue was tired and slowly fell asleep.

When Qiao Chao saw that she was asleep, he stopped moving his hands. Seeing that she didn't toss and turn anymore, he also lay back and slowly fell asleep...

In his previous life, he usually slept for two or three hours a day because of his official duties, and sometimes he even had to stay up late for several nights. Now, he thinks that working during the day and sleeping at night is not so bad?

That's the condition...

Qiao Chao sighed again. He wanted to go to the mountains again.

Zhen Yue sat under the eaves, holding a fan in her hand, "If you have nothing else, go find dad and second uncle, and build a small room in the yard. We will take a bath in the small room from now on."

When Qiao Chao heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately looked at her, "I'll go right away."

"Small room?" Qiao Dashan was puzzled.

Qiao Chao: "Zhen said to build a bathroom, otherwise it would be difficult to take a bath."

Qiao Dashan: "Okay. That's it." The family was busy with farm work and looking for jobs to make money. Besides, taking a bath consumes a lot of water. It's tiring to fetch water every day. Isn't it better to just wipe it? Occasionally, we just need to go to the river to wash. Why do we need a bathroom?

Things are getting a little better at home recently and they have some time now, so let’s do it if we want to.

Qiao Dashan quickly took a machete and went to the mountain to cut trees with Qiao Da and Qiao Er. Of course, the Lin family noticed what was happening at the Qiao family's side, and Ma secretly came over to take a peek to see what the Qiao family was going to do.

Zhen Yue originally wanted to walk around the door, but as soon as she went out, she saw Ma Shi acting sneaky, "Ma Shi, what are you doing? Are you sneaking around to steal something from my house?"

Zhen Yue's voice reached the courtyard, and Qian and Qiao Chen came out immediately. When Qian saw Ma, she immediately said, "She must be trying to do something bad!"

When Ma heard this, of course she denied it and said, "What's wrong with me just passing by here? Is the road yours? Humph!" She quickly passed by the gate of Qiao's house and went somewhere else.

After going around in circles, she returned home. Thinking back to what had just happened, Zhen still looked as elegant as ever, and didn't look like she was possessed by a ghost.

It took two days to finally finish the small room. The floor was also made of wooden boards, and to prevent it from rotting, the Qiao family also painted it.

Qiao Dashan: "It should be available in a few days. Xiaohua, you must not go in to play, okay?"

Xiaohua and the other two nodded, "Got it, Grandpa."

Zhen Yue stood outside the small room and looked inside, then said to Qiao Chao, "Make a place to put things in it, so you can put clothes and towels in it."

Qiao Dashan: "Let me do it." Today's boss is clumsy and can't do anything except chopping trees. How could he do it?

Qiao Er: "I'll help."

Qiao Chao: ...It's obvious that I'm being disliked.

Qiao Chao was not angry. He walked to the side under the eaves, picked up Zhen Yue's fan and started fanning himself. He didn't know how to use it now, but wouldn't he be able to do it after learning it in the future?

Even if he can't, he can hunt. Managing a country requires division of labor, and the same is true for managing a family.

Half a month later, Qiao Chao went to the mountains again and brought back another lamb. This time, Zhen Yue also asked him to sell it, "Use the money to buy some pig pancreas, and if there are any piglets, you can buy another one."

Qiao Chao: "You're not going to buy it? I'll go to the mountains next time to see if there are any piglets."

Zhen Yue glanced at him and said, "Buy it. It's dangerous in the mountains." She finally had this cheap husband of some use, and she didn't want anything to happen to him in the mountains.

"By the way, buy some iodine. The newly bought piglets should also be irrigated. You should be very skilled at it." You can't always go to the village chief's house to get it.

Qiao Chao: ...How skilled!

Is he going to be a pig fanner in the future?

"If there are any ducklings, I can buy them and raise them. Also, ask how much the donkey costs." She felt that she might have to go to the county town often in the future. If not, she would have to go to the town. She couldn't walk every time. It would be much more convenient if she had a donkey cart.

The next day, Qiao Er followed Qiao Chao to sell the lamb, still in the same house, and Qiao Chao gave the servant several fruits again, and this time they got two taels of silver. Although he didn't want to fan the pig, Qiao Chao bought one after seeing the piglet, and then went to buy iodine, pig pancreas, some rice, flour, eggs, etc., and spent more than half a tael.

In order to avoid fanning the pig again next time, Qiao Chao fixed his eyes on Qiao Er, "Second brother, watch carefully when I fan the pig. You can do it next time."

Qiao Er was stunned, "Brother, this... this is not good."

Qiao Chao: "What's wrong with it? It's a skill, and maybe I can make money with it in the future. It's very simple, just do it quickly."

Qiao Er: "...Then, let me take a closer look later." He didn't dare to look last time.

"Ah."

This time, Qiao Chao did much better than last time, and it was over in no time. Zhen Yue nodded at the side, "Not bad, this time was very good. Much better than last time."

Qiao Chao: ...

Qiao Chao looked at Qiao Er: "Did you see it clearly?"

Qiao Er scratched his head, "Uh... I see it clearly, but brother, I don't think I can do it."

Qiao Chao: "It's okay, next time I'll find a wild chicken for you to practice on." Anyway, this job of fanning the pig must be thrown away.

Qiao Er: ...

With the pig pancreas and the bathroom ready, Zhen Yue couldn't bear it any longer and asked Qiao Chao to boil a large pot of hot water and put the water in the bathroom, and she sat in it to take a bath. And because she had to wash her hair, she started washing it in the afternoon.

After taking a bath, Zhen Yue felt refreshed and sat under the eaves to dry her hair. Because the baby might be born in about a month, she thought of taking another bath before the birth, otherwise she heard that one cannot take a bath for a month after giving birth.

Qiao Chao watched her take a bath, then he went to heat up the water and went to the bathroom to take a bath. He bathed for a long time and then sat next to Zhen Yue to dry his hair.

"The baby will be born in about a month. If you have time in the next month, you can go to the mountains to see if there are any pheasants or other prey. Then you can exchange them for money and buy a few hens. I will need them to eat when the baby is born. The same goes for eggs."

Qiao Chao: "I already bought a basket of eggs."

Zhen Yue: "Maybe it's not enough. I need to eat it for a month." Of course, it's not just eggs and old hens, or other nourishing things can be eaten, but the only nourishing things in this family are chickens and eggs.

Others may be more expensive.

Actually, we can also eat fish, but Zhen Yue doesn’t know if there is any fish to buy, and it is too early now, but the eggs can be saved first.

Zhen Yue: "Or wait for mom to come back and ask her if she can find someone to replace you in the village."

Qiao Chao: "Okay." He didn't know anything about these things. Looking at Zhen Yue's belly, the baby inside would be his in the future. It felt quite strange.

He's going to have a child?
