Zhuang Aiguo waved his hands quickly:
"How could that be? You and Xiaolan are married, so of course you are a family."
"Well, please eat." Chu Qi smiled and grabbed Zhuang Xiaolan's wrist and handed the steamed bun to her.
Zhuang Xiaolan seemed to be completely immersed in love. She smiled sweetly and continued with Chu Qi's words:
"Dad, eat."
"......" Zhuang Aiguo felt sad and happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. His old face wrinkled with smiles, and he grabbed the steamed bun in his daughter's palm with a grin.
Not to mention, the steamed buns that were specially reheated were steaming hot and tasted soft and delicious, as if sugar was added to them. In one word, they were delicious!
After eating steamed buns and some porridge, Zhuang Aiguo finished his lunch and continued to work.
He felt mixed emotions, and for the first time he felt that his daughter had very good taste.
The son-in-law I’m looking for is not only good-looking, but also good at managing the household.
You have to be lucky to find it, right?

The next day, Chu Qi and Zhuang Xiaolan went to work as usual.
Zhuang Xiaolan endured the mocking looks of several old sisters who usually worked with her, and forced herself to remain calm, picking up the hoe and going to the barren mountains to hoe the fields with them.
A woman came over and said with a smile: "How do you feel? Chu Zhiqing... is so good-looking, he must be very good in bed, right?"
They are all married women.
Who doesn't know those private secrets?
Since Zhuang Xiaolan had never been married and was still a virgin, the older sisters-in-law had never discussed matters of that nature with her.
Look, now that Zhuang Xiaolan is married.
The old sisters-in-law thought they could chat as much as they wanted.
Talking about gossip has been a favorite topic of human beings since ancient times.
As Chu Qi is the most handsome man among all the educated youth, naturally there are many women who desire him.
Every woman who passed by would take a few stealthy glances at him.
Now that I have the chance, I have to gossip as much as possible.
When Zhuang Xiaolan was asked this question, the shyness that she had suppressed with great difficulty came up again.
Her cheeks flushed red and she looked away embarrassedly: "What are you asking? I...I won't tell you!"
"Oh, you're a newlywed, are you shy? Don't be shy, we've all been there before."
"Just tell me, don't be shy."
The older sisters-in-law laughed in good faith and tried their best to tease the shy young lady.
Zhuang Xiaolan wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it, but she had to go to work with them.
***
On the other side, Chu Qi's condition was much better.
Because Chu Qi's eyes were frank and she wasn't shy at all.
Besides, Zhuang Xiaolan is a girl. The old sisters-in-law over there can tease Zhuang Xiaolan and her man, but the educated youth here cannot tease Zhuang Xiaolan.
Jokingly asking about someone's wife?
Are you trying to steal someone's girlfriend or something?
Haven’t you seen how good the relationship between Chu Zhiqing and his wife is?
If you don't want to curse, it's best to shut up.
***
After a day's work, we finished work at 3:30 in the afternoon.
When Chu Qi got home, she couldn't wait to see if the trap she set last night had caught anything.
Maybe it’s because the mass grave is so sparsely populated, there are so many animals here.
The traps we set didn't catch any large animals.
However, she caught a hare in one of the traps!
A fat hare, looking hopeless, had its hind legs tied with a rope made of wild vines.
It was hanging upside down on a branch, its long furry ears drooping and its limbs hanging limply.
Perhaps because it had been struggling all night, it was now listless and had little strength left.
Feeling a strange breath approaching, the fat rabbit symbolically moved its hind legs.
Then there was silence.
Chu Qi was overjoyed. She grabbed the rabbit's ears, untied the rope, took the rabbit and went home.
Zhuang Aiguo was sitting at the doorstep smoking his pipe. When he saw Chu Qi, he greeted her, "You're back," and continued smoking.
Suddenly something felt wrong.
He looked up suddenly and saw the rabbit in Chu Qi's hand. He was shocked and said:
"Where did you come from?"
"I caught it in the mountains."
Chu Qi smiled and said, "We have rabbit meat to eat tonight."
"Where's Xiaolan?"
"She went to fetch water."
Zhuang Aiguo was helpless as he failed to snatch the water from his daughter during today's water-carrying operation.
Chu Qi frowned slightly: "Why don't you wait for me."
Before she came to live here, Chu Qi would occasionally help fetch water.
Now that they have moved here, Chu Qi has already told Zhuang Xiaolan that from now on, the chores of fetching water for the family will be left to her.
Chu Qi's strength was originally enhanced by the system, and she had been doing farm work here for more than a year. Not to mention that she had developed a strong body, she could easily do such trivial tasks as carrying water...
Chu Qi tied the rabbit in the kitchen, drank some water, and then went to look for Zhuang Xiaolan.
Halfway through the journey, I saw Zhuang Xiaolan carrying two buckets of water on a shoulder pole.
Chu Qi didn't say anything, went over to take it, put it on her shoulders, and said helplessly:
"Didn't I tell you that I should be the one to do such trivial things as fetching water?"
Zhuang Xiaolan rubbed her shoulders and grinned:
"How can I ask you to do everything? I can do this kind of thing, don't worry, I'm very strong."
Chu Qi said meaningfully: "Really? Then don't beg for mercy tonight."
Zhuang Xiaolan: “…”
I quickly looked around and luckily, there was not many people around.
She was slightly annoyed and shy: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"What are you afraid of? I didn't say anything." Chu Qi didn't care. She went home and poured water into the water tank. She ran back and forth several times until the huge water tank was full.
It's time to make dinner.
Zhuang Xiaolan rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to wash rice and sweet potatoes. She planned to make sweet potato rice porridge tonight.
A small amount of rice mixed with a large amount of sweet potatoes. There is not much rice, so you have to eat it sparingly.
Suddenly, something furry touched my feet.
Zhuang Xiaolan's scalp exploded. This furry touch, when it unexpectedly touched the skin, could easily make people think of bad things.
She jumped to the side as if she was running for her life, and was about to exclaim that there was a huge caterpillar in the house, but she found that it was not a caterpillar at all, but a big rabbit.
The furry touch just now should be the rabbit's ears touching her!
"Where did the rabbit come from?" Zhuang Xiaolan widened her eyes and walked forward to check curiously.
The big rabbit was tied up hands and feet and thrown on the kitchen dirt floor. He was not hanging upside down and had recovered by now.
Seeing the stranger approaching, the rabbit became frightened and began to struggle.
Chu Qi walked in and took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body. He poured a glass of water and took a big sip. "This was caught in the trap I set yesterday."
"So amazing!" Zhuang Xiaolan exclaimed, while her eyes scanned Chu Qi's upper body.
Chu Qi looked back as if she sensed something, and Zhuang Xiaolan immediately looked away with an innocent expression as if to say, "I didn't peek."
In the evening, Chu Qi processed the rabbit meat and the family ate the whole rabbit.
The rabbit bones were buried by Chu Qi as usual.
The days passed one by one, and half a year later, Zhuang Xiaolan became pregnant.
