A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

"Let's take a break." Shen Wu couldn't help but speak as he looked at Gu Zhou sitting on the straw.

"After a long time, your waist will hurt"

"No need, I'll braid all the bundles I have on hand first." Gu Zhou looked serious as he flipped through the unfinished work in his hands.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Shen Wu stopped trying to persuade him. The sun was shining outside and there was not much rain on the ground anymore. She planned to take out all the wheat straw to dry in the sun.

Going around the busy Gu Zhou, Shen Wu first went to the room on the left, picked up all the wet hay on Gu Zhou's bed in his arms, and took it to the middle of the yard.

Putting the hay upright against the wall, Shen Wu took advantage of the time when the two chickens were pulling the rope and went to the firewood shed to get four or five pieces of firewood, placed them on the ground, and then spread the hay on top.

This will make the hay dry faster.

This was not enough, so Shen Wu took a few more pieces of firewood and put them aside, then returned to the house where he had been living, took out the wet hay on the bed and put it on top to dry.

Almost half of the wall at the head and side of her bed was wet. Since there were no windows, ventilation could only be done by opening the door. In order to speed up the drying of the walls, Shen Wu opened the door to allow cool wind to flow into the house.

There was still some time before noon, and there was still half a bowl of pancakes left from the morning. There was also half a chicken left from yesterday, which was placed covered in a high and cool place. Thinking of the chestnuts in the backpack, Shen Wu wanted to stew them again.

"Gu Zhou, do you want to have chicken stewed with chestnuts for lunch?" Shen Wu shouted in the yard.

Gu Zhou looked up and only saw half of her body: "Of course! Wasn't there half a chicken left yesterday?"

Shen Wu expected him to agree, but then he thought, is it okay to eat the same thing all the time?

Shen Wu thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of what to eat, so he decided to make chicken and chestnuts.

Deciding to do it again, he had to peel the chestnuts again. Finding half a basket of chestnuts covered in the corner of the main room, Shen Wu decided to peel them all at once. After all, there were still more than two hours before lunch, so there was plenty of time.

She took the stool that she had made when she was making the shoe uppers, and the unused backpack at home, and went directly to the yard to work.

The hairy chestnuts you pick up all have cracks. As long as you push them hard on both sides, the dry shell will crack with a click, revealing the smooth chestnut inside.

Shen Wu became more and more excited as he broke the chestnuts. He threw the finished chestnuts into another backpack, and threw the chestnut shells back into the backpack containing chestnuts.

This thing can be used to burn fire and dye cloth after being dried in the sun. It would be a shame to throw it away.

While she was peeling chestnuts, the sound of crackling continued, while Gu Zhou was busy bundling a lot of chestnuts and weaving several rows.

After listening to her, he determined the width according to the length of the bed, and continued to weave the length downwards.

Gu Zhou wanted to finish this before winter. Not only this, but also the mattress and quilt she mentioned. This winter will definitely be much better with these.

After Shen Wu became proficient, she was very fast and in a short while she had peeled all the chestnuts in the basket. She was afraid of missing any, so she lifted the basket and shook it several times, only putting it down after making sure there were no chestnuts left.

She was very skilled at digging chestnuts. With the experience from last time, she easily made a large pot of them.

If there are some that have not been cleaned, put them in the backpack and clean them when needed.

After washing the chestnut shells, Shen Wu carefully took out the chestnuts inside. Some of them were stuck to the black stuff on the inner wall of the chestnuts. She always hated eating this. It was like eating plastic skin and was very uncomfortable.

Every time I peeled this part, it was a torturous job, but fortunately, there were few chestnuts that were difficult to peel, and most of them fell out into the basin once they were opened.

Shen Wu estimated that it took more than 40 minutes to deal with all the opened chestnuts. She washed the chestnuts several times, drained the water and placed them in the yard.

Not in a hurry to cook, she used the stone mortar to get some rice and millet. This time she washed and rinsed it many times before starting to pound the rice.

She didn't know what Gu Zhou and the others had eaten before, but since they had eaten the most rice after waking up, they had been eating a mixture of rice, flour and other things since then.

In fact, Shen Wu knew that Gu Zhou's family might not be able to afford these, and even drinking vegetable soup might be a luxury. But after she made money from selling buns, she decided to continue eating like this. The children were too young and too thin, and if she ate sparingly... she was afraid that they would suffer from malnutrition.

If the money is not enough, she will sell more buns! No matter how hard life is, she can't let the children starve.

The money earned from making and selling buns is very limited. There are already several stalls similar to theirs on the market. Shen Wu is thinking about saving more money before winter so that they can survive the winter and then find other ways to make money after the New Year.

Of course the first choice is definitely food, not for anything else, but mainly because she only knows how to do this!

If you ask her about other things, she is not good at it. In modern times, she is just a fool. She can't keep up with her studies and she has no skills. She is only good at cooking.

Gu Zhou finished one more row before stopping. Due to sitting with his legs curled up for a long time, his legs were so stiff that he couldn't stand up at one point. He was so numb that he had no feeling.

It was difficult for him to get up, so he had to use the straw pile and the wall to stand up with difficulty.

Gu Zhou staggered around the small backpack she had placed on the ground and went out the door, intending to stretch his body.

When he saw the shoes in the backpack, he was surprised to find that she had already made two pairs!

Although I have seen how fast she makes clothes and weaves bamboo chairs, I am still amazed by her speed. She works so skillfully, as if she has been doing it for decades.

Thinking of what she had said, Gu Zhou's hands, which were holding the door, trembled, and he felt the feeling in his legs returning.

"What's wrong?" Shen Wu pushed open the gate and looked around. The heavy rain yesterday had even washed away the small trees on the hillside. Looking at the still slippery ground, she silently withdrew the thought of going out.

When I turned around, I saw Gu Zhou shaking violently, holding on to the door, as if he had been electrocuted.

? Ah, was there electricity in ancient times?

Shen Wu reacted immediately and ran over to help him. What do you mean by electric shock? My legs are numb!

"Are you okay?" Shen Wu helped him walk as carefully as possible. There were some places in the yard where the water had not dried yet, so he had to be careful not to fall on his butt.

"I'm fine, my feet are just numb from sitting for so long." Gu Zhou tried to break free, but she held him tightly.

"Don't move!" Shen Wu stopped his hand from moving: "I'll help you walk for a while and you'll get better faster."

Not only did she use this somewhat hurtful method, there was nothing else she could do!

Generally speaking, numbness in the legs can be relieved by rubbing them forcefully, but there was no such thing done in this case. He had already walked out, so he might as well have walked for a while with the help of someone.

Gu Zhou felt a little embarrassed, but being held by her like this, he had no choice but to awkwardly follow her and walk slowly in the yard.

"I...I'm not numb anymore." He felt his legs gradually regaining consciousness and quickly got out from under her.
