A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Gu Zhou placed the bowls on the table and Shen Wu poured soup into each bowl.

"Or let me feed it, little brother!" Shen Wu said, not wanting to delay Gu Zhou's meal.

Gu Zhou shook his head: "It's okay, I won't eat too much and the soup won't be that cold. You and your sister can eat first."

The sound of rain outside was getting louder and louder, gradually taking on a terrifying momentum. Shen Wu drank his soup, but he had no appetite as he looked at the water outside which was already several centimeters deep.

When she came to the yard, she found a gap of three or four fingers under the threshold. At first she wondered if it was due to missing materials, but now it seems that it was left there on purpose.

Gu Zhou fed his little brother some food with a wooden spoon, and when he looked up he saw her worried expression.

"Don't worry, the yard won't be flooded. There is a drain under the gate and the yard is somewhat sloped. It's just that if it rains too heavily the water won't be able to flow out. It will be fine after a while."

Shen Wu turned his gaze back and said, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why there was a crack under the door."

Gu Wei shoveled rice into her mouth as fast as she could, drank a sip of soup, then picked up a piece of chestnut and put it in her mouth: "Sister Jiang Yu! This little bean you made is so delicious!"

The chestnuts were stewed until they were very soft. When picked up with bamboo chopsticks, their surfaces would sink a little. If you squeezed too hard with some of the smaller ones, they would be broken into two halves.

Shen Wu also picked up one to taste, and it was as soft and smooth as the ones he had eaten before: "This is called chestnut, I call it mountain chestnut. If Xiaowei likes it, I'll bring some more back later!"

Gu Wei was completely focused on the chestnuts. She only tried one bite of the chicken nuggets at first and then stopped trying. She went all out to eat the chestnuts!

Fortunately, Shen Wu put twice as much chestnuts as chicken, so it was definitely enough for Gu Wei to eat.

Gu Zhou didn't dare let his little brother eat too much, so he stopped after feeding him for a while, touched his belly and found it wasn't that big, then he dared to continue.

"Let me help you? Your food is getting cold!" Gu Zhou refused again: "It's okay, I'll do it."

Gu Wei raised her head, watched her brother feeding her younger brother and said, "Brother! Aunt said this morning that you can eat something less fragmented in the future! But don't give you too much salt! Children can't eat too much salt, it's bad for their health."

Gu Zhou fed him another spoonful. The little brother smacked his lips happily, and reached out for more.

"You like it so much? But don't eat too much or you'll feel full." Gu Zhou looked particularly gentle towards the fair, tender and sensible little brother, just like he was taking care of Gu Wei when she was a child.

Shen Wu felt warm at the sight. It turned out that eating without annoying family members was such a pleasant thing! She was so healed that she even put three or four chestnuts into her mouth.

The glutinous texture made her want to cry with joy. How could it be so delicious! It was as delicious as potatoes!

No! It can't be compared with potatoes! In her heart, potatoes are always the most delicious!

Gu Zhou finally finished feeding his little brother. After the child was full, he sat in the bamboo chair and was very curious about the things on the table. He wanted to get out by grabbing the edge of the chair, but unfortunately his two little feet were stuck in the two holes of the bamboo chair and he couldn't get up successfully.

Children have very strong grip and can completely support their own weight with the help of an adult's hands. When Shen Wu first started making the bamboo chair, he was afraid that the child would get hurt if he touched or moved it around randomly, so he used a rubbed stone to remove the burrs when he started making it, and wrapped the entire chair with rags after it was completed.

It’s okay even if children touch the world out of curiosity.

Gu Zhou drank the soup first. It was a little cold, but it didn’t matter. This kind of soup always felt comfortable in the stomach. Although she had only made it once or twice, he liked it every time.

Gu Zhou picked up the chestnuts they brought back from the mountains. Some of them were difficult to pick up and were easily broken by him. He picked up the broken half and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up as it was the first time he ate this kind of food!

"It's delicious! So soft, and salty and fragrant inside. The flavor you made is cooked into it."

Gu Wei nodded in agreement and swallowed the bulging chicken and chestnuts: "Sister Jiang Yu is so amazing! These chestnuts... chestnuts are so delicious!"

Shen Wu smiled helplessly: "If you two like it... there are still more in the basket. I will make other delicious food for you tomorrow when I have nothing to do!"

Gu Zhou paused with his chopsticks holding the meat and said, "Then let me help you?"

"Okay!" Shen Wu really likes these two siblings more and more.

After dinner, all the food on the table was swept away. The rain outside was still falling non-stop. The accumulated water in the yard was like a classic elementary school arithmetic problem, flowing out and in at the same time, but maintaining a normal water line that would not flood the house.

Since she couldn't wash the dishes for the time being, she stacked them up and put them aside, strolling around the main room with her younger brother who was full of energy after finishing his meal.

"You guys in the kitchen are really thoughtful and built a small threshold, otherwise it would have been flooded."

Gu Zhou was unable to help, so he went back into the house and put the money on the table. He then used the empty space to count how much he had earned in the past few days.

Gu Wei also helped her brother count the money one by one, but because she was young, she was not as fast as her brother.

"It's been flooded before, and my father repaired it several times. Otherwise, there would be no room to step into the house." Gu Zhou lowered his head and counted the money, taking the time to answer her questions.

Shen Wu heard the sound of counting money behind him, but stopped disturbing him. Instead, he teased his younger brother in his arms: "My dear little brother! Look at the rain! Isn't it beautiful!"

The child can't even speak, he will just look at the things in front of him and touch them randomly, he is very curious.

Shen Wu thought that children of this age should be able to learn to speak, so she rocked the little brother in her arms and taught him with a smile: "Call me sister. When you can speak in the future, call me sister!"

Then he turned around, pointed at Gu Zhou who was counting money, and said softly: "That's Brother Gu Zhou, he is my brother's brother. Over there is Sister Gu Wei, she is my sister."

The younger brother pursed his lips and finally uttered only two sounds: "Ah! Ah!"

Shen Wu was amused by his cute appearance, and changed his posture to gently pat the child's back to coax him.

"I earned 734 wen today, plus the money from the past few days and the one before that... a total of... a total of five taels of silver! 734 wen more!" He exclaimed, and quickly covered his hand for fear of being heard. He realized that it was raining heavily and there was no one around, so he let go.

Gu Wei finally finished counting her share: "Brother Jiang Yu and Sister Jiang Yu! I have 750 Wen here!"

"Huh?" Shen Wu wondered: "Is Xiaowei's side the same as before?"

Gu Zhou quickly added: "Yes, we didn’t count the previous ones, a few days ago, after we finished eating and washed the dishes, we went to pick cattails and reeds."

"Oh! Yes!" Shen Wu remembered that she had gone there again a few days ago. She had actually forgotten about it.

"A total of six taels and 484 wen?" Shen Wu quickly added it up in his mind and got the result.

Gu Zhou nodded: "Yes!" He felt his voice trembling, more than what his family earned from selling grain and vegetables in the past two years!

Gu Wei happily shook her feet: "Wow! Will we no longer be hungry or cold in winter?" Her face was full of anticipation, which made Shen Wu feel distressed.
