A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu forcibly took the backpack and put it on his back, then followed Gu Zhou to the river.

When she was washing vegetables and killing fish before, she saw large areas of reeds and cattails by the river.

"We only need the soft ones on top. If it's cattail, just pull it. If it's reed... just pull it down," Shen Wu said while looking at the reeds and cattails in full bloom by the river.

"it is good".

The two of them moved quickly, taking turns to pick up the cattails on top.

The soft hairy part of the cattail cannot be pulled off directly, you need to fold it off and pick it little by little.

"Besides this place, are there any other places?"

Gu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "The closest one is here. There is one further upstream. Do we need to go there?"

Shen Wu shook his head: "No, let's pick the cloth here first. Don't pick it all, leave some. These will be enough for a while. I will do the math and buy some cloth early. Then we'll see if it's enough."

The backpack was filled with cattails, and Gu Zhou led her a little further up, where the river was wide and there was a large patch of reeds by the river.

"What a huge area!" Shen Wu pushed aside the layers of grass branches, and he seemed to be purified by the scene he saw.

This is a large area of ​​reeds growing on both sides of the river, almost connecting to the blue sky. When the breeze blows gently, the reeds float gently, like a light brown sea.

"I loved coming here to play when I was a kid, and occasionally I would catch some fish trapped underneath." Gu Zhou seemed to be softened by the wind, his whole body as soft as a swaying reed.

"Let's not pull it off. If it doesn't work, just break off the head. Your hands will bleed if you pull it off." Shen Wu went over first and put down the backpack.

She had insisted on putting the cattails in her backpack. Although they were a bit heavy, she managed to carry them. It would be very cumbersome to carry them here.

Gu Zhou loosened one side of the backpack and took out the cloth bag inside: "Then fold them all."

Shen Wu hadn't touched this thing for a long time. She still vaguely remembered that her friend gave her one when they passed by a large reed marsh on the mountain during the spring outing in elementary school. The soft touch seemed to be exactly the same as it was then.

The two of them were folding reeds quickly, walking further and further in, and before they knew it, they were buried in the reeds.

"Be careful not to get pricked, and don't go too far away, otherwise you will get lost." Gu Zhou lowered his head and carefully pushed aside the branches that were almost tangled together.

"Okay!" Shen Wu took the cloth bag very quickly. To be honest, she loved working, especially when no one was bothering her.

When she was at home, her mother always urged her to do various things. Over time, she developed a rebellious mentality. Although she is almost 30, once someone urged her to do something, she would argue with them.

It had been a long time since she had been able to work so comfortably. She was really addicted to it. She seemed to be unaware that she filled the entire cloth bag in one breath before stopping.

Gu Zhou felt that he could still pretend, and only stopped after breaking several.

"Let's go back"

"Let's go back"

The two of them said this together, and Shen Wu burst into laughter.

"Let's go home!"

After putting the things back, they were so tired that they were sweating. Shen Wu found a few baskets to spread the things in. Some of them were not yet ripe and needed to be exposed to the sun to make them more fluffy.

Gu Zhou helped pick cattails and reeds, and she heard her ask: "Who made this basket? Is it from our village?"

Gu Zhou nodded and said, "This was ordered by Mr. Li Shuye in our village."

Sure enough, Shen Wu also had some common sense about ancient life. If it was not made at home, it was ordered from the village.

"How much is one?"

It happened so long ago that Gu Zhou couldn't remember clearly. It was almost ten years ago when they just moved in: "It seems like... fifteen cents? It's been so long that I can't remember clearly. My father ordered it back. I was too young at that time."

Shen Wu spread the things out as flat as possible: "It's okay, I'm just asking."

After finishing all this, Shen Wu stood up and stretched her waist. Her waist was stiff from being tired from squatting for so long.

"Hey! Where's my little sister?" she asked belatedly. She didn't see her when she came back.

Gu Zhou took the backpack back to the house and said, "Follow my aunt to her place."

Shen Wu was stunned, and chased after him and asked, "How did you know?"

Gu Zhou pointed at the words on the ground at the entrance of the main hall. The big characters were written on the dry yellow ground in a rather neat and orderly manner. She could only make out one word: "...go...something...something".

Gu Zhou pointed and said to her: "I went to her house with my aunt."

Shen Wu nodded and agreed: "The handwriting is quite beautiful."

And suddenly

The two pheasants in the yard have finally become obedient. They no longer flutter around these days and instead stroll around the vegetable garden with cloth strips tied to their feet.

Shen Wu walked over and was speechless when he saw the half-eaten vegetable garden. He took the branch he had dropped earlier and swung it to scare the two chickens: "I'm talking to you two! If you don't behave, I'm going to eat you!"

Not sure if they could understand, the two chickens stared with their small stone eyes and clucked twice.

"Okay! I'll take that you agree." Shen Wu was chatting with Ji while Gu Zhou came over: "I'll go and fetch my younger sister and brother over. It's not good for aunt to keep looking after them."

"Hey wait!" Shen Wu quickly stood up and asked what he had always wanted to say: "Where did you go to the bathroom?"

"Go to the toilet?" Although Gu Zhou didn't understand, he still guessed what she was asking.

Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed and stammered: "It's in the bucket. I will take it out and pour it out in the morning."

"Ah? Is that so? Then they usually fall there?" Shen Wu was very curious about this.

"Just...just dig a hole in the back mountain," Gu Zhou said stutteringly.

Shen Wu was silent for a while. Gu Zhou was a little nervous because of what she did, so he heard her say: "Then... can I... dig a big hole at home to use as a toilet?"

"Ah!?" Gu Zhou was stunned, his face full of shock for a moment.

"At...at home?...It will...will smell..." He stuttered and was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

On the contrary, Shen Wu was analyzing seriously that since they couldn't live in the town for the time being, it would be better to do this job early.

"Is there any big vat for sale near here?" Shen Wu thought of the dry toilet he had seen when he was a child a long time ago. It was a pit with a big vat placed inside. It was a place for excrement, and there was a slope for people to poop.

"No...no..." Gu Zhou thought about it but couldn't think of the use of the big vat. Could it be in the vat? He quickly stopped his wandering thoughts and said, "I...I'll go pick up my little sister and little brother."

"Okay," Shen Wu responded, not noticing his stiff movements at all. He returned to the small stool in the yard and sat down, thinking carefully about digging a toilet.

He said: "Aren't you afraid that she will be lost?"

Gu Zhou took the backpack in and said, "Mom left it like this when my parents were alive."

His words made Shen Wu dare not say anything more. It was not good to always bring up other people's sad things.

"What should I do?" Shen Wu was eager to solve the problem of going to the toilet, and there was paper... During this time, apart from urinating, she just pulled leaves to use.

But women have special bodies, and she is afraid that she might accidentally get an inflammation or something. Can ancient gynecology cure it?

She sat and thought about it for a while, but she still couldn't think of a solution until Gu Zhou came back, so she could only put it aside for the time being.
