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

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately became excited, "Really?"

"Can Dad help us beat people up too?"

"I've checked, there's no one in our village who's taller and stronger than Dad."

Xu Qinghe looked at Shen Chengyue, who was beaming with excitement, and nodded indulgently, "Of course."

"But Father will only help you if someone bullies you and you can't beat them."

"If you provoke others, not only will your father not help you, but even I won't, understand?"

Shen Chengyue immediately nodded, "I understand. We won't bully others, but we won't let others bully us either."

Xu Qinghe patted his head and praised, "Yes, that's it."

"You two play here for a while. I'll go boil some eggs and put them on your face so it won't swell up and look bad." After saying that, she walked into the house.

Around 5 PM, Shen Zhigang returned from the garrison and was stopped by Shen Ping'an before he even reached the village entrance.

"Second Uncle."

Shen Zhi looked at Shen Ping'an, who was waiting at the village entrance, and asked curiously, "Is something wrong?"

Shen Ping'an scratched his head and nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, my grandma wants you to go over there."

Shen Zhi didn't think much of it after hearing this, and started walking towards Aunt Shen's house. Shen Ping'an immediately ran after him.

When the two arrived at Aunt Shen's house, Aunt Shen was sitting in the yard sewing shoe soles. As soon as she saw Shen Zhi coming over, she hurriedly waved to him, "Second son, you're back, come over here quickly."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi immediately went over and asked in a low voice, "Is it because my older brother's health isn't quite right again?"

Startled, Aunt Shen quickly waved her hand, "No, it has nothing to do with your older brother, it's your problem."

Shen Zhi asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Shen immediately became serious. "Have you forgotten about you and Qinghe?"

Shen Zhiyi immediately realized what she meant by that. "You mean my wedding with Qinghe?"

"I told her, we're getting ready."

Aunt Shen was speechless. "When are you going to be ready? Do you know that Chengyue got into a fight with someone today because of this?"

Shen Zhi's face immediately darkened upon hearing this. "What's going on?"

Aunt Shen glanced at Shen Ping'an and said disdainfully, "Tell your second uncle what happened today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an immediately recounted the events of the day to Shen Zhi, which made Shen Zhi's face darken instantly.

Seeing that she had said enough, Aunt Shen interrupted Shen Ping'an's story and asked Shen Zhi, "You heard what Ping'an said just now, didn't you?"

"If this happened in someone else's family, there wouldn't be any problem."

"But it won't work if I put it in your house."

"You don't even know what kind of person your sister-in-law is. She's the kind of person who makes trouble out of nothing, and she thinks she's all that."

"Qinghe was already disliked by you when you bought her, and now that you're not even going to give her a wedding, she'll dislike you even more."

"If you listen to me, hurry up and prepare a wedding so that Qinghe can be with you openly and honestly, instead of doing all this messy stuff."

"So that your sister-in-law won't gossip all day long, and won't she get a sore mouth?"

When Shen Ping'an's father had his accident, Shen's sister-in-law was often gossiped about behind her back, with people saying that she was a jinx to her husband and children. Shen's mother had long hated her.

Shen Zhi knew that Aunt Shen was saying this for their own good, so he replied softly, "I know," and left Aunt Shen's house.

I walked straight home, and as soon as I reached the front door, I heard a burst of laughter.

Shen Zhi's tense emotions relaxed, and he knocked on the door three times long and one time short.

As soon as there was a knock, Shen Chengyue's light footsteps came through. "Father."

Shen Zhi immediately relaxed his expression, "Hmm, how was your day at home?" He glanced into the yard as he spoke.

Xu Qinghe was holding a spoon and tasting something. When she saw Shen Zhi come in, she smiled and greeted him, "Come and try my wild vegetable porridge."

Shen Zhi didn't stop upon hearing this and quickly walked towards Xu Qinghe. He peeked inside and saw a thick pot of wild vegetable porridge simmering in the pot.

The wild vegetables were lamb's quarters that they picked on the mountain, with white flour dumplings and some other bits and pieces mixed in, but he couldn't see the specifics.

Just as he was examining the wild vegetable porridge, Xu Qinghe ladled a spoonful out of it for him in a bowl. "Try it."

Looking into Xu Qinghe's bright eyes, Shen Zhi took it without hesitation. The moment it entered his mouth, a salty-sweet flavor of wild vegetables filled the air.

It had a peculiar taste when chewed carefully, which must have been the thing she bought that morning. "Is this the peanut you bought?"

Xu Qinghe nodded excitedly, "Mmm, it tastes good, right?"

Shen Zhi: "It tastes good."

Xu Qinghe was even happier when she heard this, "Besides this, I also made some peanuts."

"Go wash your hands first, I'll take out the buns."

She made the green bean and pork buns this morning, and they're cold now. Xu Qinghe can't eat cold food with meat in it; she always feels it's too greasy and will reheat it before eating.

After washing their hands, Shen Zhi took the two children inside. As soon as they entered, they saw a plate of fried peanuts on the table.

The peanuts were fried until they were shiny and glistening with oil, and then sprinkled with a layer of salt. They looked delicious.

Just then, Xu Qinghe walked in carrying steamed buns and greeted them as soon as she entered, "Please sit down!"

Shen Zhi glanced at her hand subconsciously and saw that she only had a basket of buns in her hand. He turned around and walked out, and soon brought in a basin of wild vegetable paste.

Xu Qinghe felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched Shen Zhi's little actions. It was good that he could work without being told what to do.

The family sat neatly at the table. Xu Qinghe first served each of the two children a bowl of wild vegetable porridge before giving them steamed buns.

The two children ate their buns and porridge with great satisfaction.

When they arrived at Shen Zhi's place, Xu Qinghe didn't rush to give him steamed buns. Instead, she looked at him expectantly.

Shen Zhi understood and consciously picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth. As soon as it entered his mouth, a salty and savory taste rushed in, and then the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, with a sweet aftertaste. It was very delicious.

Shen Zhi ate several before speaking, "This is perfect for drinking with alcohol."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, this is for drinking with."

"Isn't it delicious! I'll make more, I'll make more for you all in the future." He said, handing over the buns.

After sitting for a day, the oil had soaked into the buns, and as soon as Shen Zhi picked them up, he could feel his stomach growling impatiently.

Without thinking, I took a big bite, and the moment was instantly satisfying.

Looking at the steamed bun in his hand and then at the dishes on the table, Shen Zhi unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself with a self-deprecating smile, "It's really easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity."
