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

He immediately looked over at the two children. Shen Chengchuan, having been protected, only had his clothes slightly wet, which didn't affect his health.

On the contrary, Shen Chengyue's clothes were completely soaked and his hair was wet because he had been helping out the whole time.

Only the face appeared relatively clean, even though it was wiped with a damp sleeve.

"I'll take Chengyue to change first, and then I'll change after Chengyue has changed."

To her surprise, Shen Zhi stopped her without thinking, "I'll help Cheng Yue change outside."

"Go inside and change."

Seeing that Shen Zhi's words were not to be refused, Xu Qinghe did not hesitate. She took out a change of clothes from her bundle and hurriedly ran to the main room.

I closed the door and changed my clothes as quickly as possible in a dry place.

After changing, she didn't rush out. Instead, she asked Shen Zhi, "Shen Zhi, are you all done changing?"

Men's clothes are easier to change than women's. Even though Shen Zhi had to help Shen Chengyue change, he also changed his clothes at the same time.

"alright."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe opened the door and started to leave. Just then, Shen Zhi suddenly shouted at her in alarm, "Watch out!"

Xu Qinghe subconsciously turned around and saw the house behind her collapse the moment she turned around.

Not only was the sound enormous, but the amount of ash that splashed up was also astonishing.

However, in just a moment, the dust was wiped away by the heavy rain, leaving behind a mess.

Just then, Shen Zhi rushed over and hugged Xu Qinghe tightly without saying a word. His heart was pounding with fear.

Xu Qinghe was surprisingly calm. She reached out and patted Shen Zhi to comfort him, saying, "I'm fine."

"If you keep holding me, all the clothes I changed for nothing will have happened."

Shen Zhi then realized what was happening and pulled her towards the kitchen. Once they reached the bottom of the kitchen, they finally had time to look at the collapsed main room.

Shen Chengyue didn't know they were going to build a new house, and he burst into tears.

In his heart, this house was his home, where he no longer had to live as a dependent or wander from place to place.

Aunt Qinghe would give him the softest spot on the bed, cover him with a new quilt, and never scold him for not being able to do chores or complain that he ate too much.

Now that his house has collapsed, he has nowhere to live and no home. He doesn't want to live without a home anymore.

Just as he broke down in tears, Xu Qinghe pulled him into her arms and comforted him, saying, "Why are you crying? If the house collapses, we'll build a new one."

With just one sentence, Shen Chengyue stopped crying, staring at her in disbelief. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. If we don't build houses, where will we live?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately felt relieved, and his tears instantly dried up.

Xu Qinghe...

This clever little thing, I'm crying for her.

After calming the two children down, Xu Qinghe started a fire to steam buns.

It's not that she's carefree, it's that she has a strong ability to accept things.

In her heart, what's done is done, and crying won't help. She might as well think about how to get through the rest of the days.

Shen Zhi clearly shared this view. He had experienced many ups and downs; if he couldn't let go of every single thing, he would have been finished long ago.

So the couple steamed buns in the heavy rain, and after they finished steaming the buns and eating, they waited for the rain to stop.

Just as Shen Zhi had predicted, the rain continued unabated. Left with no other option, Shen Zhi would periodically clear the drains in the yard to prevent the accumulated water from collapsing the walls.

Just then, the sound of a gong came from the village. Shen Zhi stood up immediately upon hearing the gong.

"I'll go check on them. You stay home and take good care of them."

Xu Qinghe nodded and did not stop Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi was gone for most of the night, and didn't return until the rain stopped.

The moment she returned, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but ask him, "How was it?"

Shen Zhi said wearily, "A few houses collapsed and some people were injured, but most people are fine."

Xu Qinghe was relieved after hearing this and said with some concern, "You must be tired after all this time. Sit down and rest for a while."

Are you going to the garrison tomorrow?

While resting in his chair, Shen Zhi replied, "Go."

Xu Qinghe knew this was his job, and although she felt a little sorry for him, she didn't say anything.

The next morning, she got up early and started heating up buns for Shen Zhi. Shen Zhi woke up a little late and saw Xu Qinghe's busy figure as soon as she woke up.

A warm feeling welled up inside me. "You don't need to eat so early. It's okay to eat something cold."

Hearing the noise, Xu Qinghe turned around to look at him, but her tone was very casual, "It doesn't taste good when it's cold." Then she continued to tend the fire.

Shen Zhi subconsciously walked behind Xu Qinghe and instructed, "I have already told the village chief about what happened yesterday, and he will send someone to check on the condition of our house."

"There's still work to be done in the yard. If you can't do it, wait for me to come back and do it. Don't try to be brave."

Listening to Shen Zhi's incessant chatter, Xu Qinghe suddenly turned to look at him with disdain and said, "You're so long-winded."

Shen Zhi...

"Hmm?" He bent down to look at Xu Qinghe, who was tending the fire.

Xu Qinghe was caught off guard by Shen Zhihui's proximity and panicked for a moment.

Before she could speak, Shen Zhi asked her in a hoarse voice, "Am I long-winded?"

Xu Qinghe's face flushed red instantly, and she looked flustered and at a loss.

Shen Zhi, however, had no intention of letting her off the hook. He squatted down, turned her body around, and said earnestly, "I'm worried about you."

Xu Qinghe said shyly, "I know."

"I just don't want you to be so tired."

Seeing Xu Qinghe's shy expression, Shen Zhi could no longer resist and pressed Xu Qinghe's head down to kiss her.

Xu Qinghe couldn't break free and could only passively accept the kiss. After it was over, she said shyly, "You didn't brush your teeth."

Shen Zhi: "Then I'll kiss you after I finish scrolling."

Enraged, Xu Qinghe reached out and pushed him, saying, "You pervert!"

Shen Zhi smiled indulgently, "Once we're married, it's no longer considered being a hooligan."

Xu Qinghe...

Seeing her like this, Shen Zhi couldn't help but gently rub her head. "Be good, stay home and do the work I have to do when I get back."

Xu Qinghe couldn't stand his gaze, so she could only give a perfunctory reply. Once Shen Zhi left, she turned around and started getting busy.

The waterlogged yard needs to be drained, and the vegetable seedlings in the garden need to be saved.

Fortunately, her vegetables are currently all seedlings, not yet flowering or fruiting, so the losses are relatively small.

After draining the water from the vegetable garden, I nourished the seedlings with my supernatural abilities, and now they're almost ready.

Just as Xu Qinghe had finished cleaning, there was a knock at the door. "Second son's wife? Is second son's wife home?"

Xu Qinghe didn't hesitate when she heard Old Man Shen's voice. She quickly went over and opened the door. "Father."

Old Man Shen nodded calmly. "Last night I heard from my second son that your house collapsed, so I came to take a look."

Xu Qinghe didn't stop him after hearing this, and consciously moved aside.
