After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

The next morning, Qiao Chao woke up early, but Zhen Yue was still asleep. Qiao Chao got up carefully and went out to wash up. Qiao Dashan and Qiao Chen of the Qiao family had also woken up, and Qian had also woken up and was preparing to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.

"Boss, why don't you have a good rest? We will go to the fields to work later. You can rest at home for a day and look after Zhen." Qiao Chen said. After all, her boss had been working hard for half a month and brought back so much money, so he needed a rest.

Qiao Chao did not refuse, but he was thinking about going to the mountains to take a look. There are several big mountains around Danan Village, and sometimes wild boars will come down the mountain and trample on the fields, so the village chief occasionally organizes villagers to resist wild boars.

Qiao Chao wanted to see if there was anything edible in the mountains. Mainly because he had looked around his home yesterday and found that in addition to two laying chickens, he also had a few acres of thin land and some vegetables planted behind the house. His family of ten relied on these to support themselves.

The house was made of mud and the roof was covered with thatch. It would be easily blown away if there was a strong wind or heavy rain. As I recall, every house would leak when it rained.

To fetch water, you have to go to the river. When Qiao Chao is not around, Qiao Dashan and Qiao Er will take turns fetching water every day.

Qiao Chao saw that there was still half a tank of water in the water tank. He picked up the wooden bucket and left, "I'll go get some water first."

Before Mrs. Qiao Chen could say anything, he disappeared.

On the way to fetch water, he met Lin Shi again. Qiao Chao bared his teeth and waved his fist at him. Lin Shi was so scared that he ran away.

Qiao Chao snorted and continued to fetch water.

Lin Shi looked at his departing figure and spat fiercely, "I wonder how long you can be so proud!"

After Qiao Chao came back with the water, breakfast was almost ready. Zhen Yue just woke up at this time. As soon as she went out, she saw Qiao Chao coming back with the water and immediately ordered him: "Get me a basin of water."

Qiao Chao: ...In the end, I still helped to fetch water and then poured the water.

The whole family sat at the dining table, drinking thin porridge with only a few grains of rice and eating a plate of pickles. Yes, they could only eat that little for breakfast.

The pickles were very salty, and after eating a little bit he would have to drink a big mouthful of porridge. In the end, Qiao Chao just felt like he was full after drinking the water.

Zhen Yue thought so too, but she still had an egg to eat.

After breakfast, the other adults went back to work in the fields. Qiao Chao wanted to go to the mountains to take a look, but before he left, Zhen Yue's instructions came, "Where are you going? The clothes are not washed yet."

Qiao Chao looked at her. Aren't women supposed to wash clothes? Forget about fetching water, but why did he wash the clothes?

Zhen Yue: "Why are you staring blankly? Do you want me, a pregnant woman, to do the laundry? I'm pregnant with your child!"

Xiaohua over there heard the voice and ran out immediately, "Aunt, I'll help you wash the clothes and fetch water for you."

Xiaocao and Xiaonian also came over to help.

Zhen Yue rolled her eyes: "A child is more sensible than you."

Qiao Chao: "...I'll wash it." As far as he could remember, even though Zhen was pregnant, it was still Zhen who washed the clothes while others worked. But looking at her belly, Qiao Chao thought about it and decided to wash it.

As for clothes, just put them in the basin and take them out, right?

Zhen Yue sat under the eaves on one side and gave orders, "Ask your uncle to fetch water for Xiaohua, and you just wash your own clothes. The same goes for Xiaocao and Xiaonian." In her opinion, children are not allowed to be lazy and have to do their own things.

Qiao Chao looked at the three children and said, "Let me wash it."

Zhen Yue: "You have to work. If you don't work, you can't eat."

Xiaohua quickly said, "Uncle, we can do it. I want to eat."

Xiao Cao and Xiao Nian Ye nodded and said, "Yes, we can do it."

Qiao Chao: “…”

After Qiao Chao fetched water, he soaked his clothes in water and picked them up. Zhen Yue watched from the side: "What are you doing?"

Qiao Chao: "The clothes are done."

Zhen Yue looked at him with a look of joking, "Look at what your niece is doing! How can you not even wash clothes? You are worse than a child!" Damn, what a lousy man! He can't even wash clothes. Wasn't it that the women in the family washed the clothes before?

Before, the clothes in the house were indeed washed by Yuan Shen or Qian Shi. Before Yuan Shen and Qian Shi got married, it was Qiao Chen Shi and her daughter who washed them. Of course, Qiao Da had helped before, but only rarely, but he did know how to wash clothes.

It's just that the core has been replaced. The person inside has never washed clothes, and he doesn't need to worry about such things, so of course he won't wash them.

Qiao Chao looked at Xiaohua on the side, only to see her rubbing her clothes carefully, paying attention to the cuffs, collar and other key areas.

Qiao Chao: ...So you still need to rub it?

Xiaohua raised her head and said, "Uncle, you can hit me with a stick!" Xiaohua ran to get a stick and hit the clothes.

Zhen Yue sneered beside him.

Qiao Chao: ...

Not only do you have to rub, but you also have to change the water, wring out the clothes, and then hang them out to dry. Qiao Chao was sweating all over, and finally he washed all the clothes for the whole family.

After washing, he looked at the sky and saw that it was still early. "I'm going to the mountains. You guys stay at home."

Zhen Yue: "Wait a minute, I want to go too." She had thought about going to the mountains before, but she never had the chance.

Qiao Chao: "But you are pregnant."

Zhen Yue: "Pregnant women should walk more so that they can give birth more easily."

Qiao Chao: “Yes, is that so?”

Zhen Yue: “Yes!”

Xiaohua: "Aunt, let's go too. I can go pick wild vegetables!"

"I'm going too." Xiaocao and Xiaonian also raised their hands.

Zhen Yue thought it was not safe to leave them at home. Most importantly, she was afraid that Lin Dahu would do something again, so it would be better to take them with her.

Afterwards, Xiaohua carried a basket on her back, holding Xiaocao in one hand and Xiaonian in the other, and followed Qiao Chao and Zhen Yue.

Not long after they went out, Lin Dahu from the Lin family came out. Seeing that the door of the Qiao family was closed, he secretly ran to the door and looked inside through the crack. After seeing that there was no one inside, he ran to the other side, picked up stones and built a wall, then climbed over the wall and entered the Qiao family.

Qiao Chao was walking a little slowly because he was carrying a pregnant woman and three children, and he bumped into other people along the way.

"Qiao Da, where are you and your wife going? Why don't you let her rest at home? You were just busy yesterday, why are you coming out today?" said an old lady.

Qiao Chao glanced at Zhen Yue, and Zhen Yue said, "I'll go for a walk so that I can have the baby. I rested yesterday and I feel better this morning."

The lady looked at Zhen Yue's belly and nodded, "Walking is good for the baby, so be careful."

"Hey." Zhen Yue was quite puzzled as to who this person was who actually cared about her?

The old lady walked away a few steps and then came back to take out a fruit and handed it to Zhen Yue, "Qiao Da, my son said that he was in the county town thanks to you for taking care of him. Let your wife and children have a taste of this fruit. I just picked it."

Zhen Yue knew who it was when she heard it. Wasn't it Aunt Jin, the village chief's wife? Wasn't it his son who went to the county town with Qiao Da? He looked like a real person. "Thank you, Aunt Jin."

The village chief’s wife’s original surname was Jin, and her name was Jin Jiao. Everyone called her Aunt Jin.

"Hey, be careful. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." After leaving for a while, she suddenly remembered that Zhen seemed quite polite today and actually said thank you to her?

Here, Zhen Yue put the fruit in her pocket and prepared to eat it later. After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Xiaohua saw the wild vegetables under the tree over there at a glance, "Aunt, there are wild vegetables over there, I'll go pick them over there first."

Zhen Yue took a look and said, "Go ahead, don't run around randomly."

"Okay." Xiaohua took Xiaocao and Xiaonian to pick wild vegetables over there.

Qiao Chao looked at Zhen Yue and said, "It's not safe in the mountains. You rest here first. I'll go into the mountains to take a look."

Zhen Yue didn't have to go in. After all, she knew that her current condition was not good. If she was not pregnant, she would have to go in.

"Go ahead, I'm right here."

Qiao Chao nodded, took the axe and went into the mountain. Zhen Yue walked slowly nearby, not far from the little flowers.

After a while, Zhen Yue found the mushrooms, but they looked very bright. Usually, the more beautiful the mushrooms are, the more poisonous they are. However, there are some exceptions, such as red mushrooms, white onion mushrooms and the like.

What Zhen Yue saw was a kind of edible mushroom.

"Xiaohua, come here!" Zhen Yue called out to Xiaohua and the others who were digging wild vegetables over there.

Xiaohua put a wild vegetable in the basket and came over immediately after hearing the voice, "Aunt."

Zhen Yue pointed at the bunch of mushrooms and said, "Pick those for me."

Xiaohua waved her hands in fear as soon as she saw it, "Aunt, grandma said colored mushrooms are poisonous."

Zhen Yue: "This is edible, non-toxic, pick it."

Xiao Hua was very hesitant and stood there without moving. Zhen Yue was holding a wooden stick in her hand. She poked it and said angrily, "Hurry up! Don't waste time!"

"Okay, aunt!" Xiaohua was so scared that she hurried to do it.

Xiaocao and Xiaonianye hurried to help.

Zhen Yue: I can’t even speak properly.

After Xiaohua picked the mushrooms, Zhen Yue took the three of them to walk to the side, and soon they saw a wild fruit tree.

Zhen Yue sighed as she looked at the wild fruits on the tree. She couldn't climb the tree now, and she couldn't reach the fruits even if she stood on tiptoe. She looked at Xiao Hua again, "Can you climb a tree?"

Xiaohua nodded, "Yes."

Zhen Yue: "Climb up and pick some and throw them down. Xiaocao and Xiaonian, you guys catch them down there."

"Yes."

Zhen Yue carried Xiaohua and climbed up the tree. The tree was not very high, but Zhen Yue was a little heavy. If she could jump, she could pick the fruit with just one jump. But she couldn't even jump now.

Xiaohua quickly bent the branch a little bit when she got on it. Zhen Yue said, "Press the branch down a little more."

Xiaohua quickly exerted force, and Zhen Yue stood on tiptoe and grabbed the branch. There were several fruits on the branch, and she picked them up quickly.

Xiaohua went to pick other fruits, and Zhen Yue let her down after a while. When Xiaohua came down, Zhen Yue held her up with her hands.

Afterwards, Xiaohua and the other two dug some wild vegetables. Zhen Yue felt a little tired, so she leaned against the big tree to take a rest.

Suddenly her ears moved, and there was a movement in the grass on the side, and a pheasant rushed out from it.

Zhen Yue moved quickly, and the stick in his hand flew over and hit the pheasant on the head!

With a "click", the pheasant fell to the ground.

Zhen Yue looked at her hands. She didn't expect her hands to be so accurate. Xiao Hua and the other two were all shocked. "My aunt is so amazing!"

Zhen Yue raised her chin, "Ahem, go tie up the pheasant's feet and put them in the basket."

"Yes!" Xiaohua quickly got some wild grass and tied up the pheasant's feet and put them away.

There were no more pheasants afterwards, but Qiao Chao also came out of the mountain. Zhen Yue saw that he was holding a rabbit and a piglet in his hands.

"Piglets? Where did they come from?" Zhen Yue looked around. The presence of piglets meant that there was a sow here. An adult, angry wild sow was no joke.

Zhen Yue had an urge to escape.

Qiao Chao: "It should have gotten lost, but to prevent any accidents, let's go back first." He originally wanted to continue watching, but he came back just because he caught this little piglet.

Zhen Yue: "Then let's go quickly. Little flowers, little grass, little year, let's go."

"Yes!"

Qiao Chao walked over and took the backpack, and suddenly found a pheasant lying inside. He glanced at Zhen Yue, and then thought that now was not the time to talk, so he didn't say anything and went down the mountain.

Just as they were about to walk out of the main road, Zhen Yue asked Qiao Chao to pick some wild grass and put it in the backpack, which was covered with wild vegetables. Qiao Chao knew what she meant and quickly did as she said.

When they returned, Xiaohua and the other two were very happy because their aunt and uncle had caught so many good things today!

On his way back along the main road, he met some people who were returning home from work. He greeted some of them and walked away, while others were surprised to see the piglet in Qiao Chao's hands, so they stopped to see what was in their backpacks.

"Oh! This piglet looks so smart, where did it get here?" Mrs. Zhou originally went to bring water to her family, but she didn't expect to see the piglet in Qiao Chao's hand when she came back. Her family also wanted to buy a piglet to raise recently, but they didn't save enough money.

She walked forward and tried to take the piglet from Qiao Chao's hand. Qiao Chao turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhen Yueye stood in front of Qiao Chao and said, "What are you doing? Aunt Zhou? Do you want to steal my piglets?" In his memory, Aunt Zhou always liked to take advantage of others, and it was very difficult to return things once you got them from her.

Mrs. Zhou's face suddenly fell, "Zhen, why are you so stingy? What's wrong with me touching the piglet?"

Zhen Yue pinched her waist and said, "This is my home. You can't touch it if I don't let you!"

Mrs. Zhou: "Then let me see what's in your backpack. I see you guys just came out of the mountains, right? Did you get anything good?"

As Mrs. Zhou spoke, she reached out to pull the basket, but Zhen Yue blocked her way again, "What are you doing? Ouch! Qiao Da, my stomach hurts! Mrs. Zhou bumped into me, she wants to kill my child!"

Mrs. Zhou took several steps back and said, "I didn't touch you! How can you wrongly accuse me?"

Zhen Yue: "Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts!"

When Mrs. Zhou saw this, she quickly ran away, "I didn't touch her, don't blame me!" After a while, she disappeared.

Zhen Yue straightened up immediately, looking as if nothing had happened, "Let's go back."

Xiaohua and the other two were stunned to see how her face changed so quickly, but Qiao Chao at the side seemed to be used to it and followed behind Zhen Yue. It must be said that the best quality also has its advantages, at least no one dares to touch her.

He suddenly felt that this top-notch wife was not so bad.
