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

Qiao Chao shook his head. He felt like a pervert, but... why didn't he notice that Zhen's feet were so beautiful before?

...No, why is he still thinking about his feet?

"Where's little Achu?" Zhen Yue sat on the bed after she had fixed her feet.

Qiao Chenshi: "He fell asleep next to me. He was crying before."

"Bring him here, I'll watch him."

"Row."

Holding the tightly wrapped baby and placing him next to Zhen Yue, Mrs. Qiao Chen went to work.

In the afternoon, Qiao San felt much better and went to deliver the meal on his own. Zhen Yue was unable to get out of bed due to her injured foot, so it was Qiao Chen who brought the meal to her.

Although Mrs. Qiao Chen is cowardly, she seems to be a good mother-in-law, so Zhen Yue still has a good impression of her.

Little Achu had woken up a long time ago, and when he saw her, he wanted her to hold him. Zhen Yue teased him for a while and made him giggle. Zhen Yue pinched his little face, and now little Achu's eyes were much bigger. His eyebrows and nose looked like Qiao Chao, and his eyes and nose looked like her. He looked like a cute little baby.

Compared to the ugly appearance when it was just born, it is much prettier now. About half an hour later, Qiao San returned home, "Dad and the others have to continue working after eating."

Qiao Chen was very worried, "It's so cold at night, why can't we wait until tomorrow to continue."

Qiao San: "When big brother and his friends were eating, the soldiers came over and asked them to speed up. Big brother and his friends haven't even finished eating yet and they have to start working."

Qiao Chen prayed: "Oh. I hope it won't snow again tonight. Otherwise, what will I do if I get sick?"

At night, when Zhen Yue and the child were sleeping soundly, the door of the room suddenly opened and a figure walked in cautiously.

Zhen Yue raised her head, her tone still sleepy, "Mr. Qiao?"

Qiao Chao looked towards the bedside and said, "It's me. You can continue to sleep."

"Yeah." Zhen Yue responded and continued to sleep. Over there, Qiao Chao tidied himself up with a giggle and soon got into bed. He was so tired that he fell asleep in a short while.

The next morning when Zhen Yue opened her eyes, Qiao Chao was no longer by her side. Zhen Yue's feet still hurt a little but it was not a big problem. She put on her clothes and fed the awakened little Achu before walking out. Qiao Chen was washing clothes in the yard.

"Where are Qiao Da and the others?" Zhen Yue asked.

Qiao Chen: "I went to shovel snow again early in the morning." She sighed, "I didn't even have time to rest and I'm already up."

Zhen Yue: "Did you get them something to eat?"

Qian came out of the kitchen. "I made noodles for them this morning, and also made some steamed buns for them to take with them. I also put hot water in a bamboo tube for them to take away."

"That's fine."

Qiao Chao and his team worked hard for another two hours and finally finished their section of the road. When they were preparing to pack up and go back, they heard the sound of horse hooves. A sergeant in armor riding a big horse was galloping forward quickly, followed by soldiers, some riding horses and some running.

The people who were shoveling snow were so scared that they immediately ran to the woods on the side. Qiao Chao stood on the side of the road without moving. About hundreds of soldiers passed by him. This was the first time he saw the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty here.

He noticed that their equipment was much better than in Daxia. At least the soldiers were wearing armor.

After those people passed by, other villagers came out from the bushes. "What happened? Why are there troops?"

"No wonder they asked us to shovel the snow quickly. Is it the army coming over here?"

"Isn't there going to be a war?"

"But we are so far away from the border, it's impossible for us to fight outside?"

"Maybe we are heading to the border? But there seem to be few people."

Everyone was talking about it. Qiao Er and Qiao Dashan also walked up to Qiao Chao and asked, "Brother, why didn't you run away just now?"

Qiao Chao gripped the shovel tightly and said, "We haven't committed any crime, why are we running?"

Qiao Er scratched his head and said, "It seems so."

Qiao Dashan: "Let's go back quickly, otherwise the third brother might come to deliver food."

"it is good."

On the way back, he happened to run into Qiao San who was about to deliver food. Seeing the three of them coming back, Qiao San was very surprised, "Dad, big brother and second brother. Why are you back?"

Qiao Er: "I came back after I finished. What delicious food did you make at home today?"

Qiao San: "Mom made sausages and eggs."

Qiao Er touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go back quickly."

"it is good."

When they got home, Qiao Chen and the others were also very surprised, "You're back? Are you going again this afternoon?"

Qiao Dashan: “No need to go.”

Qiao Er: "We just finished when we ran into the army passing by the place where we just shoveled the snow. I don't know what happened."

When Qiao Chen heard about the army, she felt scared and asked, "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Qiao Er waved his hands, "What's the problem? We haven't committed any crime."

Qiao Chao put his things away and looked into the kitchen. "Where's Zhen?"

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "We are in the room. We have finished eating. Hurry up and wash your hands and go to the kitchen to eat." Qiao San brought the food that had been prepared in the backpack to the dining table.

Qiao Chao: "I'll go see her first. How's her foot?"

Qiao Chenshi: "It's nothing serious, I can leave today."

As soon as Qiao Chaogang opened the door, he saw Zhen Yue feeding lotus root powder to little Achu. She had a smile on her face, which was very different from her usual expressionless look. She actually looked somewhat gentle?

Gentleness? He actually saw gentleness in Zhen? Somehow, he thought of Zhen Yue's feet again... Ahem... Never mind, I can't think about it, it makes me seem perverted.

Hearing the voice, Zhen Yue raised her head and asked, "Are you back?"

Qiao Chao: "Well, how are your feet?"

Zhen Yue: "It's okay, I feel much better now, go eat first."

Qiao Chao looked at the medicinal wine on the table and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"A little, but it's nothing serious."

"Let me wipe it for you again." Qiao Chao picked up the medicinal wine, walked to Zhen Yue, squatted down, and pulled off her socks. The action was so fast that she couldn't react.

Zhen Yue moved her feet and Qiao Chao pinched them, "Don't move."

Zhen Yue: ...I don't want to move, but can you please stop touching me? And your hands are a little cold.

After rubbing the medicated wine, Qiao Chao quickly stood up and put the wine down, "I'm going out to eat first." He looked as if he disliked Zhen Yue's feet.

Zhen Yue withdrew her foot, feeling that this man was acting strange today.

When Qiao Chao walked outside, he covered his nose with his hands. He let go of his hands after a while and found that there was no nosebleed. He took a deep breath and felt the restlessness in his heart slowly calm down.

"Brother, why are you standing at the door?" Qiao San walked out of the kitchen and saw Qiao Chao standing at the door, not knowing what he was doing.

Qiao Chao: "Oh, nothing." He washed his hands and went to the kitchen to eat.
