A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

The two of them laboriously carried two pieces of cloth each on their backs as they hurried to the gathering place. Shen Wu's face was smiling so much that it looked as if flowers were blooming. She no longer cared about the cloth shop and only wanted to get home quickly to prepare to make clothes tomorrow.

"Yuwa! Why did you buy so much cloth?" Uncle Li exclaimed as he looked at her not far away, laughing so hard that her eyes were almost invisible.

This...what are you buying so much for?

Shen Wu and Gu Zhou, both panting, finally reached the car, and the two old men helped unload the things.

There aren't always people hanging out in the village. For example, today, only Gu Zhou and Shen Wu came out.

"Thank you, sir. This is the cloth I bought. Gu Zhou and Xiao Wei's clothes are all torn. I was thinking of buying some cloth to make clothes for them."

Uncle Li San took a look at the sky and asked people to get in the car first: "I'm afraid it's going to rain at noon. Come on, boys, we have to hurry. Your uncle and I are afraid of rain."

Shen Wu hurriedly got into the car with Gu Zhou and sat down. She couldn't tell whether it would rain or not, but it was certain that the road would not be blocked.

The two old men drove the ox cart and donkey cart one after another out of the town. After they were out of the town, Uncle Li spoke: "Yuwa, can you make clothes?"

Shen Wu was stunned by the question. Thinking that people from the same village would not harm her, she said half-truthfully, "I saw my mother do this when she was alive. Although I don't remember anything about the past, I can still do some simple sewing."

Uncle Li sighed and whipped the whip again: "Good kid."

Mr. Li San felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. Why didn't she understand when the girl's mother was around?

"By the way, Nizi, don't go out to the stall tomorrow. Your uncle and I have observed that it is going to rain this afternoon, and this rain...is expected to continue for a few days."

Since they said this, Shen Wu was very curious about how they knew it: "Grandpas, how do you know whether it is going to rain? It looks so hot and sunny today, and there is not a single cloud in the sky, so how could it rain?"

Her remarks really made the two old men laugh. They looked at each other and explained to her: "We all come from the countryside. Even though your uncle sells tofu and your third uncle drives a cart, they still have land. Farming is a lot of farm work, so naturally we will look at the sun, moon and stars to judge whether it will rain. Besides, we two have been farming for many years, so we know whether it will rain or not, and it won't rain on those few days at most."

"Amazing!" Shen Wu admired from the bottom of her heart. She had been farming with her grandmother in modern times for so many years and only knew some rhymes, similar to the song about the twenty-four solar terms: (Spring rains bring spring and clear days, summer is full of grain and summer heat is connected, autumn is dewy and cold and frost falls, winter is snowy and winter has less or greater cold). She had never come across using the stars, the sun and the moon to tell whether it would rain or not.

After listening to what his two grandfathers said, Gu Zhou thought of some things in the past. When he moved here with his father, he was a kid who ran around everywhere without knowing anything, but now he has learned so many things.

Thinking of the past, he couldn't help feeling bitter, so he had to suppress it and protect it in the most hidden place in his heart.

Uncle Li didn't know why Yuwa wanted to buy so much cloth. Each piece of cloth cost 500 coins, and these...the four pieces of cloth at the back of the cart would probably cost two taels of silver...

Thinking of this, he wanted to advise the two half-grown children. It is not easy to make money and there are no adults around them, so how can they spend money carelessly: "Yuwa, Uncle and Third Uncle know that you have become a better person and can do everything, but there is no need to buy so much cloth at one time. One piece of cloth is enough to make clothes. How can you buy so much? Why don't you keep the money?"

Uncle Li San couldn't help but say: "If you make such a big fuss, if there is anyone in the village with bad intentions, they will definitely come to make trouble. It is said that one should not show one's talents to others, so why aren't you afraid of being seen?"

After hearing what the two old men said, Shen Wu was suddenly pulled out of the good feeling she had gotten, and she frantically tried to think of ways to make up for it.

Gu Zhou, who was standing by, spoke first: "Grandpas, you don't know, today we passed by a store and saw that they were selling goods at low prices for some reason, so we went in to take a look. The shopkeeper said that the cloth was all gone and had to be sold as soon as possible. Moreover, they were losing money and planned to close the store, so I took the initiative to buy so much!"

Shen Wu didn't expect Gu Zhou to stop the matter, but how could she, a sister who was about to turn 30, let a child take care of things? She quickly added: "Actually, I wanted to go in and take a look, and when I saw that the shopkeeper had to deal with something and was in a hurry to leave, I thought about buying some cloth. Gu Zhou said that only one piece would be enough, so I had to buy them all."

As she said this, her face showed the guilt of having realized she had done something wrong, and the two old men didn't dare to blame her for anything.

"You..., Yuwawa, grandpa is afraid that you will be cheated. You two have worked hard to earn the money, what will you do if you are cheated by others?"

"Yes!" Uncle Li suddenly remembered to ask the price of the cloth: "How much did you pay for this cloth? If it's too much, grandpa will take you to return it."

Seeing the old man suddenly stop the car and turn back, Shen Wu quickly said: "All four horses are only 700 coins." There is really nothing to hide, but it can't be said to be too low, otherwise it would be too scary.

The two old men took a deep breath after hearing this and started driving again: "This... is so cheap!"

Shen Wu thought that he should be on guard against others, but since he had already said that, and he hadn't seen any bad guys with any bad intentions from the two grandfathers in these days, he added, "At first they asked for two taels of silver, how could we have that money? It's so cheap because the cloth is bad, with mold growing inside, and it's stained. Plus, the shopkeeper's servant bought buns from me and was in a hurry to leave, so I gave this price."

"When we get back later you must hide well and don't let anyone see you. We can pull some dry branches to cover you on the road. Don't tell anyone, okay?" Uncle Li had a bad look on his face and gave many instructions.

He originally looked down on Jiang Yu who was always looking for trouble, but after waking up, this child cared about his family and was sensible. He even gave two cents every time he took their car to the town. In addition to the money, he also gave three big buns. Such a good child... It's a pity. Why did the two good people of the Gu family die so early?

“I’ve made a note of that.”

"Grandpa, we've got this in mind."

Shen Wu's face was serious, and he replied at the same time as Gu Zhou.

"By the way, grandpa, is it very cold in our winter? How do you survive?" Shen Wu suddenly wanted to know something from these old people who came here.

Grandpa Li held the reins, his face changed slightly and his eyes were long: "It's freezing here in the winter. Don't go out after the snow comes. It's cold and windy. It's okay to stay at home and burn wood. I'm afraid the ground will freeze and the fire won't start. If we don't have food, we will die soon."

Uncle Li Sanye also felt deeply: "Before the heavy snow, the snow was enough to bury a person's feet, and after that, it was enough to bury half of a person's body. Gu kid should know that one year it was so cold that the firewood was hard and could not be started. People could only rely on endurance."

"Then don't you have thick clothes to keep warm?" Shen Wu didn't understand.

"How could it be possible? Our village is relatively well-off. A few families can exchange money to buy cloth. There is nothing that cannot be found. But what can a thin quilt do? At most, it can be stuffed with hay or cattails. How can it keep out the cold?"

It's so serious?! Shen Wu thought about the clothes she was going to make, wondering if she should...tell him how to make them. She had seen people trying to make clothes out of cattails and reeds in modern times, and she had made them herself when she was a child.

Now I just don't know what the effect will be. If I tell you now, it will be a big harm if the clothes are not good.

Let’s not talk about it for now.
