Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Furthermore, judging from Shen Zhi's attitude towards him, she felt that this young man was no ordinary person, and she didn't want to ruin a promising future because of her momentary soft-heartedness.

Upon hearing Xu Qinghe's firm answer, Shen Chengyue immediately felt dejected. He slumped his shoulders, lowered his head, and shuffled towards the wall, radiating an aura of displeasure.

Xu Qinghe looked on helplessly. "Stand up straight, have some spirit, otherwise you don't look like a five-year-old child, you look like a little old man."

Upon hearing Xu Qinghe's criticism, Shen Chengyue immediately retorted, "You still remember I'm five years old?!"

Xu Qinghe wasn't bothered by the pressure at all. "I've always known that!"

"If you're not happy, go find your dad. I'll just supervise."

Shen Chengyue...

You two are bullying a child.

Despite saying that, Xu Qinghe still softened when Shen Chengyue was sweating profusely from practicing.

"Alright, alright, stop practicing. The steamed buns are ready, let's eat them first."

Shen Chengyue, who had been whining at first, was now like a different person. Despite being covered in sweat and his legs trembling, he still chose to persevere.

"I'm practicing."

Xu Qinghe paused slightly as she picked up the steamed buns, then turned to look at him with a slight smile and admiration in her eyes.

Such a good child, I wish he were her own. But it doesn't matter, it's all the same whether he's her biological son or not, he's under her care now anyway.

"Okay, then practice a little longer, and eat when it's time." After saying that, he picked up the steamed buns by himself.

After picking up the steamed buns, it was time for Shen Chengyue to train. "Chengyue, it's time to eat."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and slowly walked towards Xu Qinghe with trembling legs.

As soon as he entered, he saw the soft, oily buns, and Shen Chengyue guessed at a glance that they must be delicious.

Xu Qinghe put down the steamed buns and turned to look at him. Seeing that he was trying hard to keep his legs from trembling, she felt sorry for him and said, "Sit there, let me help you relax."

During this time, Shen Chengyue and Xu Qinghe had become very familiar with each other. Seeing this, Shen Chengyue did not stand on ceremony and sat down on the small stool by the fire to enjoy the relaxation that Xu Qinghe brought him.

Unlike Shen Zhi's deadly relaxation, Xu Qinghe's relaxation was much gentler, even bringing a sense of enjoyment.

Just as Xu Qinghe was relaxing him, Shen Chengchuan, who was eating a steamed bun, suddenly came over.

The aroma of the steamed buns wafted into his nose as soon as he got close, making Shen Chengyue so hungry that he immediately said to Shen Chengchuan, "Here, give me a bite."

Shen Chengchuan wasn't stingy; he reached out and handed it to him. Shen Chengyue took a bite, and the bun was almost half gone.

Even with her mouth almost full, she still kept praising, "Delicious, delicious, so delicious!"

Xu Qinghe glanced at him with amusement, patted his shoulder twice to end the relaxation session, and then turned and walked into the house with the basket of buns.

Shen Chengyue, eager for food, followed closely behind, while Shen Chengchuan, carrying steamed buns, walked a little slower.

Just then, Xiao Hei, who had been lurking in the shadows, suddenly rushed out and started pulling at Shen Chengchuan's trouser leg.

Shen Chengchuan glanced at it indifferently, then loosened his grip, and the half-eaten bun fell to the ground.

As soon as Xiao Hei saw this, it lowered its head, grabbed a bun, and ran towards its doghouse. Shen Chengchuan, however, acted as if he hadn't seen its movements and strode into the house.

As soon as he went inside, he called out to Xu Qinghe, "Auntie, I want to eat more."

Xu Qinghe glanced at his empty hands with surprise, and asked suspiciously, "You ate it all?"

Shen Chengchuan, without blushing or skipping a beat, replied, "Mm."

As Xu Qinghe handed him a steamed bun, she pinched his cheek, saying, "You won't eat yourself into a little fatso, will you?"

Shen Chengchuan: "No, I'm skinny."

Xu Qinghe...

After finishing her meal, Xu Qinghe started tidying up the house. The chickens and ducks hadn't been fed yet, Xiao Hei hadn't eaten, the vegetable garden hadn't been tended, and the dirty clothes hadn't been washed.

Just as Xu Qinghe was busy and overwhelmed, Shen Chengyue suddenly took Shen Chengchuan's hand and said to Xu Qinghe, "Auntie, I want to take Chuanchuan out to play."

Xu Qinghe was stunned by these words. Since she transmigrated here, Shen Chengyue had never taken the initiative to say that he wanted to go out and play. Even if he asked him to go, he would not go.

So I instinctively asked, "Where are we going?"

Shen Chengyue: "Kang Kang's family."

Upon hearing that they were going to Sister Lan's house, Xu Qinghe finally felt relieved. "Okay, come back after playing for a while, don't stay out too late."

Shen Chengyue: "Okay." After saying that, he happily took Shen Chengchuan's hand and went out the door.

After the two children left, Xu Qinghe was left alone at home. Xu Qinghe first fed the chickens and ducks grass, and then walked over to Xiao Hei.

Little Black Sheep was lying lazily in its doghouse. It didn't even lift its head when it heard her coming over, let alone touch the leftovers that Xu Qinghe poured for it.

Xu Qinghe was quite surprised. She grabbed the dog by its front legs and lifted it up, carefully examining its nose and eyes. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she relaxed and asked suspiciously, "Did you steal some food?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei immediately turned his head away, not daring to look at her.

Xu Qinghe...

Why do I get the feeling that you're a little guilty?

Do dogs feel guilty?

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiao Hei started yelling at her defiantly. Upon hearing its barking, Xu Qinghe loosened her grip and threw it back.

"They're making such a racket, they should be fine." With that, he walked towards the vegetable garden.

After all this time, the vegetable garden has transformed from barren to lush and green, and the seeds have grown from tiny grains into seedlings that are a handful long.

Xu Qinghe didn't recognize many of the seedlings when they first appeared, because some of the leaves looked so similar that she couldn't really tell them apart without seeing them in person.

But there were two things she was absolutely certain of: chives and sweet potato sprouts.

But what's puzzling is that sweet potatoes aren't grown from sprouts, so how can she grow sweet potatoes by sowing seeds?

Could it be that the earliest sweet potatoes were also cultivated from seeds? Later, because seed cultivation was inefficient, they switched to tuber seedling cultivation?

Regardless, sweet potatoes are one of the most important crops, and now that they have been discovered, Xu Qinghe wants to cultivate them properly.

She was also thinking about how to expand the planting of sweet potato seedlings, because her current vegetable garden was really not enough for her to grow.

As she pondered this, Xu Qinghe turned her gaze to the outside of the courtyard wall. There was no cloud map at this time, so if she secretly widened the house a little, no one would notice, right?

Just as Xu Qinghe was lost in thought, Shen Ping'an's urgent shouts suddenly came from the front door, "Auntie! Auntie!"

Startled, Xu Qinghe didn't think twice and ran towards the door. "What's wrong?"

Shen Ping'an, panting from running, didn't forget to complain to Xu Qinghe, "Jinbao, Jinbao and Chengyue got into a fight."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe's face immediately darkened. He closed the door, locked it, and headed into the village.
