A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Shen Wu put the last piece of cloth in the house and asked the two people in the yard.

Gu Wei said excitedly: "I want to eat chicken."

"I can do it"

They both spoke at the same time.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, the two pheasants with clipped wings that were tied in the yard flapped their wings and made loud cackling sounds.

Shen Wu was amused and he almost couldn't stand up from laughing while holding onto the door frame of the main room: "No... this chicken hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

She finally stopped laughing and wiped away the tears from her laughter, then said to the two of them, "You two wait, these are the only dishes left at home, I'll go to the back to see if there's anything to eat."

"No, I'll go with you!"

Shen Wu quickly waved his hand: "You and my little sister stay at home, I'll go to the woods to take a look. It's autumn now, there should be something edible."

"I..." Gu Zhou wanted to say something, but stopped, and changed the subject and said, "I just happen to be going to the fields to take a look, so it's a good opportunity for us to go out together."

"To the fields! Do we have to go there today?" Shen Wu thought of the millet seeds and radishes that had sprouted a few days ago, and he really had to go there.

Although it's not that hot these days, it doesn't rain every day and I'm afraid the ground will dry up: "Okay, Xiaowei, please look after your brother for a while. Your brother and I will go to the fields to check on him, and your brother will be back soon."

Gu Wei nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Gu Zhou helped bring Gu Wei and her younger brother into the house. The weather was hot and dry at the moment, and it was really painful for the two children to be outside.

Shen Wu was waiting outside for Gu Zhou with a backpack and a hoe, thinking about what to bring back for food.

"Let's go." Gu Zhou reached out and took the hoe before she could react, and then he took the backpack and walked out.

Shen Wu was stunned for a moment, then followed him out.

The two of them actually tried to close the door in sync, and almost grabbed the same door. Shen Wu quickly grabbed the other door and pulled it back to close it.

The courtyard door opens inward, and someone has to go in again each time before it can be pulled out.

"Let's go and take a look at the fields first. If they are too dry, we'll water them at noon. After that we'll go to the back mountain." Gu Zhou walked in front and finished his words.

Shen Wu could only respond with two "hmm" sounds from behind.

It should be around 10 o'clock in the morning. There were people working in the fields nearby. There was a woman wearing a headscarf, bending over and pulling weeds in the ground with her hands.

Gu Zhou went down to the field to check the condition of the seedlings, then turned back and said to her: "Your idea is really good. It's really pleasing to see radishes planted this way."

Shen Wu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had just arrived and said this method was more convenient.

The results cannot be seen now. We have to wait until late autumn and early winter, when the radishes have grown roots, before we can see how effective this method is.

Thinking of this, Shen Wu thought of two more things: sweet potatoes and potatoes.

In her previous life, she was born from potatoes! She ate potatoes for months on end without getting tired of them. She ate them every day until she became extremely fat. She even tried her best to lose weight.

"Alas~".

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhou looked at the person who was looking down at Luoboying, wondering why he suddenly sighed.

"I suddenly thought of what you eat in winter, and I sighed." Her words were irrelevant and there was no logical connection between the two sentences. She didn't even notice it.

Gu Zhou didn't understand what this had to do with her sigh, but he still explained: "If you can't finish eating the radishes, you will bury them in the ground. When you want to eat them, you will dig out one or two and bury the rest. This way they can be kept for a long time without getting moldy. But if you eat them after the next spring, they will be hard to swallow."

Shen Wu thought, how could it be hard to swallow? Her grandmother's family also stored it this way. No matter how well it was stored, it would definitely be chaff by the next year. It was like eating a sponge. How could it taste good?

The millet seedlings in the field were also half the length of a palm, and would sway as soon as the wind blew.

"I see the ground is dry." Shen Wu touched the soil. They had watered it a few days ago, but they didn't expect it to dry so quickly.

"I think if it really doesn't work, we'll just carry water to irrigate the fields today." Gu Zhou also reached out to grab the soil, held it in his hand for a while, but it was completely unable to form a ball, and it didn't feel moist at all in his hand.

"Look at the situation. It's too stuffy and dry today." Shen Wu stood up and reached behind him with one hand to lift up the old clothes that were stuck to his body.

It only took a short while for him to break out in a sweat. Although the day was not as hot as when he first arrived, it was still equally torturous.

"Okay, didn't uncle and third uncle say it would rain today? If it rains today, we won't have to fetch water." Gu Zhou pulled out the grass next to the seedlings and stood up.

Shen Wu saw his actions and asked in confusion: "How do you deal with the grass in the field?" She had been here for so many days. It was normal to have grass in the wheat stubble before. Later, she burned the wheat stubble and turned it in to make fertilizer, and the weeds on the ground were also burned and turned in.

Now looking at the weeds that are almost as tall as the seedlings, she feels desperate.

Remembering the fear of being dominated by weeds in our fields, the whole family worked together and it took a month to finish the job.

"In fact, I should have pulled them out earlier. This is my first time using this method to grow crops. I wanted to see whether the sprouts would grow faster or the weeds would grow faster, so I didn't pull them out."

"Before, my parents and I would go to the fields to pull them out cleanly. If the weeds were too big, the harvest would be poor."

"Okay, I got it. Let's go to the back mountain." Shen Wu turned and walked towards the back mountain, and Gu Zhou hurriedly followed.

Shen Wu kept a calm face and nothing happened along the way. It was not until she reached the edge of the forest and confirmed that there was no one around that she said, "Using your hands is too slow. Do you have a shovel? That way weeding will be quicker."

"Shovel?" Gu Zhou didn't understand what that was.

Shen Wu took the hoe from his hand and cleared the way, heading deeper into the woods: "It's an iron tool that can be used to dig vegetables and grass."

After hearing this, Gu Zhou shook his head and said, "Iron is very expensive, and there is not much iron in the village. The few hoes we have at home were bought back by my father in exchange for other things."

Shen Wu nodded: "I understand."

She said again: "Do you know where else to go? We've been to many places. I want to catch another chicken and see if there is anything else to eat."

Gu Zhou remained silent for a while before saying, "I don't come here often."

Shen Wu laughed out loud, turned around and looked at him as he slowed down his pace: "Are you kidding me? You don't look as familiar with this place as if it's your first time here."

Gu Zhou didn't say anything, but walked in front of her and led the way.

The two walked for a while, and while they were on the road, Shen Wu found something good.

She excitedly ran to get something from the tree, and shouted, "Wait a minute! There are chestnuts now!".

Gu Zhou followed her the moment she moved and was behind her when she spoke: "This is a thorn ball..., can it be eaten?" Gu Zhou expressed doubt.

Shen Wu nodded vigorously. When she was a child, she went to visit her relatives. The mountain behind her relatives' house was very scary. She was not afraid at all and ran towards the mountain. She was attracted by a tree full of thorns. She took the things home to show her grandmother.

Her family thought she was lost and kept shouting for her until they saw her at the back entrance of the mountain and beat her up.

Later she found out that what she was holding in her hand was mountain chestnut, also known as wild chestnut.

The shell is full of thorns, and you can pick up the ones that explode, peel them, and stew them to make sweet dumplings or steamed buns. The dry shell can also be used for burning firewood. It is full of good things.
