Chapter 14 Don't Touch Me



People passing by laughed at her funny appearance.

Zhang Xiuyuan followed quietly because he was worried. As soon as he arrived, he saw someone gritting his teeth at the cow, and he couldn't help but smile.

He walked out, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sand off Zhao Chuchu's face.

"Brother Yuan, why are you back? No, no, you have to go back quickly."

Zhang Xiuyuan wiped her face carefully and said, "My dear wife, I can use oxen to plow the fields, so why don't I do it myself?"

Zhang Xiuyuan grew up in a poor family. He could do everything from harvesting rice in the fields to cooking and washing clothes.

Although the Great Sheng Dynasty was a world dominated by women, it was only a matter of status. Men were generally stronger than women, and men were not necessarily like women in a male-dominated world, confined to the home to take care of their husbands and children, with no expectation of being seen in public. This was especially true in rural areas, where it was common for men to work in the fields.

"No, you are the husband I married, I must love you well, how can I let you do such heavy work? Don't worry, I, your wife, was born with supernatural powers." Zhao Chuchu was very stubborn in this regard. To her, Yuan Ge'er was a kind and cheerful man, he should be loved and pampered, not go to the fields to do such rough work every day, she couldn't bear to let him go.

"But……"

"Brother Yuan, how about this? You teach me how to plow the land with an ox."

Zhang Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Okay."

So, as a master, Zhang Xiuyuan still gave some guidance.

Zhao Chuchu was quick to understand and got the hang of it quickly. The cow was well behaved and obedient, so she was no longer in a panic.

Zhao Chuchu was so happy that she pulled the ox and plowed for an hour.

"My dear wife, come and have some water." Beside the ridge of the field, a tall and thin young man waved to Zhao Chuchu.

"Coming." Zhao Chuchu responded and quickly ran to him.

"Wipe off the sweat and drink some water."

Zhang Xiuyuan returned home at some point and came to bring him water.

"Brother Yuan, please help me wipe it." Zhao Chuchu didn't take the handkerchief from Zhang Xiuyuan's hand, but moved closer shamelessly.

The little face so close to me was bright and charming, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

The woman's eyes were clear and bright. Zhang Xiuyuan didn't dare to look at her. He hurriedly looked away and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.

After wiping the sweat off his face, Zhang Xiuyuan opened the bamboo tube and poured water for Zhao Chuchu.

The water was boiled and then cooled. Zhao Chuchu was indeed thirsty and drank a lot at once.

"Brother Yuan, you are so nice to me, I really like you." Zhao Chuchu never forgets to express her love.

Zhang Xiuyuan has long since changed from being shy to being calm. Even though he doesn't show it on his face, there are still waves in his heart.

Seeing Zhang Xiuyuan pursed his lips and said nothing, Zhao Chuchu, who was too proud of herself, grabbed Zhang Xiuyuan's hand and kneaded it gently.

His fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints, and his nails were trimmed and round, clean, with thin calluses on the fingertips. This was not a pair of pampered hands, but Zhao Chuchu loved them very much and couldn't let go every time she played with them.

Zhang Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then noticed the gazes from all around him. He quickly withdrew his hand and whispered, "Don't touch me."

Zhao Chuchu giggled.

The sounds around you come into your ears.

"Sister Chu actually took the initiative to go downstairs today. It seems that she has really changed for the better after marrying her husband. Madam Zhao is also relieved down there."

"Brother Yuan is a good man. I even wanted to propose marriage to him on behalf of my daughter."

"I think they are a good match. Sister Chu works in the fields, and Brother Yuan comes to deliver water. They get along well."
