I don't know why, but a silence spread between the two of them, so quiet that the only sound was the heavy rain outside.

Shen Wu felt embarrassed, touched his nose and coughed: "Well, didn't I say a few days ago that I would make heels and clothes? I'm halfway done with the shoes, only the uppers are left. You...if you have time, I'll bring the clothes I drew, and you can see what style you want?"

She had started making the shoes herself after the cloth had dried that day. Fortunately, she had a large awl at home to drill holes, otherwise, with the five layers of fabric, she would have been exhausted and couldn't even wear one.

Shen Wu worked whenever she had time at night and finally wore out the soles of all three people's shoes. She was so tired that her fingernails ached. Fortunately, she had always had a good endurance and her sore fingers did not affect her at all.

"The rain is too heavy... let's just forget it..." The half-made shoe and clothing patterns were all in her room. It was raining so heavily that Gu Zhou didn't want her to go out.

"It's okay to watch it another day..."

"Okay... okay." Shen Wu looked at the still puddled water and heavy rain outside, and felt that the moisture on the soles of his shoes had not yet dissipated, so he decided not to go.

She did something wrong today and shouldn't have gone to the kitchen in the rain. Now the pair of patched and tattered cloth shoes on her feet will probably not last long...

Gu Zhou felt embarrassed, and whispered quickly that he was going to see his younger sister and brother, then hurried back to the room on the right.

The rain showed no sign of stopping and was getting heavier. Shen Wu sat at the door of the main room, looking at the rain curtain of Liancheng Waterfall outside and felt a little chilly.

She leaned against the shabby wooden door and fell asleep without knowing when.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by Gu Zhou's voice: "Wake up... wake up!".

Gu Zhou was a little worried. Did she have a fever? Seeing her arms trembling slightly in her sleep, she must have caught a cold!

Shen Wu was awakened by the sound. The shoes on his feet had long been dried out by his body temperature. Although they were cold, they were still about the same temperature as the shoes themselves.

"Did I fall asleep?" She rubbed her eyes and looked confused.

"Come inside! Are you getting a fever?"

Gu Zhou grabbed her, who was still confused, and half-supported her towards the house.

"I'm fine..." Shen Wu did feel very sleepy, probably because of staying up late to make shoes for many days.

Speaking of which... she is a sinner... If she hadn't insisted on working secretly in the middle of the night and wasting oil lamps, she wouldn't have started to feel sleepy the moment she relaxed a little.

Gu Zhou's grip was very strong and with some stubbornness, he half-dragged her to make her sit on the bed. The two children were still sleepy and were lying on one side of the bed sleeping soundly.

Shen Wu was afraid of waking them up, so she gently rejected Gu Zhou's decision to let her sleep on the bed: "I'm fine, don't wake them up." As she said that, she pointed at the two little kids on the bed.

Gu Zhou ignored her and pushed her down on the bed: "You should rest now. Don't worry, I'm at home..."

Shen Wu naturally refused. How old was this kid? It was raining heavily that day. What if the kid had a weak constitution and caught a cold? !

"It's really okay, don't!" She quickly bent down to stop him from taking off her shoes.

Gu Zhou grabbed her hand and pulled it away without saying a word. When he touched her shoes, he found that they were wet. Gu Zhou paused and took off her worn cloth shoes.

"You should get some sleep. If you don't get enough rest, you will get sick."

Seeing how serious he was, Shen Wu suddenly wanted to be mean. She raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "It is said that girls' feet should not be seen. What do you mean by this? Are you... being a hooligan?"

Gu Zhou's ears turned red because of what she said, but he was firm: "You are my sister, we are a family, what's wrong with a brother helping his sister take off her shoes?"

"Hahahahahahahaha" Shen Wu laughed softly and rubbed his messy hair: "Little brat, sister is just teasing you."

"Well, thank you, brother. I'll take a nap first. Call me later. If the rain stops, I'll make some noodles for us." Shen Wu didn't bother to be polite with him. It was raining anyway, and she was a little sleepy, so she decided to take a short nap.

"Okay, go to sleep." Gu Zhou saw the person lying down and secretly took her pair of worn-out shoes to the main room.

This pair of old and worn shoes was made by her mother for Jiang Yu. Because she didn't take good care of them, they became frayed and torn in many places, and her mother also patched them up.

Gu Zhou shook his shoes, and a lot of water came out. He placed the shoes at the foot of the wall facing the door to dry, and then sat down where she had sat before.

Shen Wu slept soundly this time, and was awakened by an itchy touch when he woke up again.

She opened her eyes dazedly and saw her little brother lying in front of her, giggling and touching her face with his little hands.

"Ah! Ahhh!"

Seeing that she was awake, the younger brother was even happier. He climbed onto Shen Wu's chest with his hands. The child was actually quite light, but Shen Wu was not fat! He pressed her down and she felt a little breathless.

Shen Wu's face suddenly turned dark. This child really thought of her as his mother... Thinking of this situation, she snorted, grabbed her little brother's still struggling hands, and held him up while sitting.

"Bad boy!" Shen Wu couldn't help but laugh and tickle him.

Children are easily amused, especially after spending some time with her and being held and fed by her, they laughed non-stop.

Shen Wu was afraid that the child would laugh too much, so he teased him for a while and then stopped.

Just as she was about to get out of bed with her child, she suddenly realized that her shoes were missing! ?

Shen Wu had almost guessed what was going on, so she simply didn't go down. She sat up cross-legged and put her hands under her little brother's armpits, holding the child up and down.

"Wu~Wu~Wuhu~" She made sounds as she lifted and put down the clothes, which made her little brother giggle again.

"Sister Jiang Yu! You're awake!" Gu Wei ran over with her shoes, and was dazed as she looked at the overly gentle smile on the bed.

"Ah? Xiaowei? Where have you been? Where's your brother?" Shen Wu stopped and asked with a smile.

At that moment, Gu Wei saw a smile on Shen Wu's face that was almost the same as the one on her mother's face, so warm, so... gentle.

"Outside...it's not raining outside anymore. I went to dry my shoes. I just went to the kitchen and brought them to you." Gu Wei put the shoes under her bed.

"Thank you, Weiwei!" Shen Wu held his younger brother and helped him put on his shoes. He couldn't help but touch Xiaowei's hair: "Xiaowei is so awesome! You sent this to me when you knew I needed it."

Gu Wei's cheeks turned red when she praised him, and she lowered her head, not daring to look.

At this time, there was a sound of something being put on the table outside. Shen Wu carried his younger brother out and happened to see Gu Zhou putting a large bowl of vegetable soup on the table.

Gu Wei watched her go out and followed her.

"You did it?!" Shen Wu asked in surprise.

Gu Zhou nodded embarrassedly: "I'm not very good at it, so I just did it this way."

On the table was a large bowl of noodle soup mixed with several wild vegetables.

"Then I'll have to try it carefully later. It looks delicious!" Her face was full of anticipation, which made Gu Zhou feel a little embarrassed.

"The soup you made is so delicious!" Shen Wu drank two bowls in a row, and his shining eyes startled the two people at the table.

After feeding his younger brother, Gu Zhou placed him on a bamboo chair, wondering, is the soup really that delicious?

Gu Wei frowned as she drank her brother's soup. To be honest, it wasn't as delicious as the one made by Jiang Yu, but it was still at her brother's level.

Gu Zhou drank a mouthful of soup and became even more confused. Isn't this the same as before? How can it taste better?
