In the next few days, Zhao Chuchu led the cows to plow the fields.
Zhang Xiuyuan comes to deliver water and food every day.
Zhao Chuchu didn't find it hard to plow the fields for three hours every day. She was strong and could learn quickly. Besides, Yuan Ge'er would come to bring her loving water and loving meals every day. Besides talking, she could occasionally eat Yuan Ge'er's tofu and touch his little hands. That feeling made her so happy that she could fly to heaven.
After five days of hard work, the three acres of land were finally reclaimed.
At this time, Zhao Chuchu was leading the cow and walking towards the village chief's house with Zhang Xiuyuan to return the cow.
As she walked, Zhao Chuchu suddenly stopped and looked back.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiuyuan looked back in the direction she was looking and asked in confusion.
Zhao Chuchu retracted her searching gaze and shook her head. "Nothing. Let's return the cow quickly so we can go back and eat early."
Zhao Chuchu frowned slightly. She always felt that someone seemed to be staring at them these past two days. No, to be more precise, it was staring at Yuan Ge'er. She had this feeling every time Yuan Ge'er came to the fields to look for her, but she couldn't find him.
She trusts her intuition.
It seems that she has to find a time to wait and see. If that person has bad intentions, she must nip it in the bud. If he has no bad intentions, it would be unpleasant to be stared at every day.

In the evening, Zhao Chuchu was taking a bath in the house, and in the main room, under the oil lamp, Zhang Xiuyuan was mending clothes.
This is Zhao Chuchu's coat. It was accidentally torn when she was working in the fields two days ago. Zhao Chuchu originally planned to throw it away, but Zhang Xiuyuan took it back. The clothes are still quite new and can still be worn after mending them. It must not be thrown away.
Although both men and women could go to school during the Great Sheng Dynasty, Zhang Xiuyuan, the eldest son in a poor family, was unable to go to school. He had to help with farm work and housework since he was young, and it was common for him to mend clothes for his parents and younger siblings.
Zhang Xiuyuan accidentally looked up and suddenly saw a figure standing outside the fence. Probably because he saw the tower and looked up, the person was afraid of being seen, so he walked away quickly. But not long after, Zhang Xiuyuan saw from the corner of his eye that the person came back.
It was already dark outside, and apart from the twinkling lights in the distance, the man's appearance could not be seen clearly.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, put down the clothes and needlework in his hands, and walked towards the yard.
"Who is it?"
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't open the door and asked vigilantly.
The man outside the door seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then a slightly hoarse voice rang out, "Brother Yuan, it's me, Zhao Miao."
Outside the door was a woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a pretty face and a slightly plump figure, but not fat. Only her surging breasts could be vaguely seen from the front under her clothes.
"Miss Miao, it's you. Are you back from town?" Zhang Xiuyuan was slightly surprised and spoke in a gentle tone.
Zhao Miao stared at Zhang Xiuyuan for a few seconds, then quickly looked away, fearing that he might discover something.
"Well, I went on a long trip for my boss this time. After coming back a couple of days ago, my boss was worried that I was tired, so he let me rest for a few more days."
Zhao Miao's family was also not well off. Her adobe house was not far from Zhao's thatched cottage, so the two families could be considered neighbors.
When the Zhang family first fled to Zhaojia Village, they were unfamiliar with the place and it was the Zhao Miao family who helped them settle down there.
Both Zhao Miao's parents and Zhao Miao took good care of the Zhang family. Sometimes when Zhao Miao came back from town, he would bring some small cakes to Wen Ge'er and Lin Jie'er.
