A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu looked confused as he quickly walked out of the courtyard. He could only see his back and shouted, "The ground is slippery!"

She didn't worry about what happened to Gu Zhou. She might as well use the time to work.

Seeing that the sunlight was getting brighter, she went back to the house and took out her little brother and the bamboo chair and placed them in the yard.

Gu Wei was also called out by her and sat on a stool. Although the sun was strong at the moment, the wind was cool and the weather was not too cold. The body surface temperature felt just right. It was good to let the two children come out to bask in the sun, and it also allowed Gu Wei to rest for a while.

"Sister, are we still having the chestnut stewed chicken today?" Gu Wei had heard what she called out before, and her saliva was almost dripping as she asked.

"Yes." Shen Wu pulled his younger brother's clothes and played with his fingers with him.

"Are you still drinking rice soup?!" Gu Wei was very surprised. She had been drinking rice soup these days. Although her family made money from her older brothers and sisters selling buns, this was the first time she had eaten such a luxurious meal.

Shen Wu thought she was tired of it, and looked at the stone mortar she had placed on the stool with some hesitation: "Tired of eating? Then..." Why couldn't she suddenly remember what else she could do with rice?

Rice soup... rice... rice cake! Rice noodles! Rice! Rice!

She whispered to herself and counted the different dishes she could make. Rice was not out of the question, but she made rice soup mainly because the children had always been eating the same thing. If she wanted to make rice, she would have to buy more rice.

Gu Wei quickly shook her head to deny: "No, sister, I'm afraid that if we keep eating like this, the money saved at home won't be enough."

Shen Wu was shocked by her sense of crisis. The child was too sensible. Woohoo! Good girl!

Gu Wei looked puzzled. Seeing Jiang Yu had an expression that she had only seen on her mother's face, she was afraid that she had said something wrong.

Shen Wu went over and hugged them both with an expression of being healed, and rubbed the two children against each other.

After she finished rubbing, she realized what she had done and pretended to be calm and let go.

It's over, it's over, she was really touched! Although painless raising a baby is tiring, it's almost the same as raising a baby by playing games in modern times! It will really heal her!

In order to avoid being discovered, Shen Wu quickly found an excuse to go to the kitchen to cook.

Gu Wei looked at her younger brother patting the bamboo chair with a puzzled look on her face. Her sister was acting weird...

Gu Zhou left the yard as if he was escaping. He walked along the slippery ground all the way to the field. He came back to his senses when he saw the upright seedlings.

Because of the heavy rain last night, the originally dry and cracked fields are now very slippery and sticky. He tried his best to keep his body steady and be careful not to slip into the ground. He watched the condition of the seedlings in the field.

The time for sowing was already late, and because of the method she suggested, the entire field was divided into regular vertical piles, on which radishes were planted, so it looked more sparse than that of other fields.

Gu Zhou squatted on the ground and tried his best to pull out all the weeds he could touch. Both the millet and radish seedlings were not too tall. If the grass in the field was stimulated by the rain and grew taller than the planted ones, the harvest would be much worse.

The ground was too sticky, and Gu Zhou tried but still didn't go down to the field. It was too troublesome to weed now, so he would wait until the ground was almost dry and no longer sticky to his feet before going down to the field to weed.

He had pulled out all the weeds he could reach, and his hands were covered in mud and water. Just as he was about to get up, he heard voices gradually rising.

"Boy from the Gu family?" The man who came was Li Cai from the village. He had a hunched back, was carrying a bamboo basket, and holding an old and broken hoe in his hand.

"Uncle Cai" Gu Zhou turned around and saw someone and quickly stood up.

"The ground is so wet, how are you going to work in the fields? Don't go into the fields," Li Cai couldn't help but warned as he looked at Gu Zhou's dark face.

He looked at the child and felt that the child had grown stronger and taller since the last time he saw his mother.

"The fields were planted late this year, and the seedlings also rose late. I was worried, so I came to take a look."

Following what Gu said, Li Cai looked at their land, and when he saw it, he was puzzled and said, "Gu...Gu, why did you do this to your land?"

Li Cai became a little anxious after seeing the child's farming situation. How many radishes could he produce if the child planted the land like this?

Gu Zhou didn’t know how much he would get no matter how he planted it, but judging by the current seedlings, they were pretty good.

"It was a bit difficult to dig out the radishes we planted before, so I thought I'd be a little lazy this year and find a way to make it easier." He didn't tell her because he was afraid that Uncle Li Cai would think she was the one who started it.

Li Cai frowned after hearing this. He wondered whether Gu's idea was possible.

But looking at the condition of the seedlings, it feels similar to the usual sowing of the seedlings.

"You...ah..." Li Cai wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it when he thought about what had happened in his family over the past year. There were only him, his sister, a baby, and the noisy Jiang Yu at home. This child must be so tired.

"If they don't grow well, I'll sow more in your field, and you can come to my field and transplant some then." Li Youcai was afraid that Gu's method would not produce radishes but only seedlings.

Gu Zhou knew Uncle Li’s good intentions. He was not sure what the radish would look like, and he did not want to reject Uncle Youcai’s good intentions, so he nodded and agreed.

Li Youcai didn't want to waste the child's time. He didn't expect to help look after his younger brother at home, so he said goodbye to him quickly: "Uncle has something to do in Linzikou. If there is anything at home, please come to me! Uncle is leaving first."

Gu Zhou nodded and said to Li Youcai: "Uncle, go slowly, the ground is slippery."

"Uncle knows."

After watching Li Youcai leave, Gu Zhou looked back at his own land which was glistening with water.

I'm wondering when the rain stops and the sun comes out and the ground isn't sticky to my feet, so I can go pull some weeds in the fields. If the weeds grow too long, the seedlings will die.

Although the rain had stopped, the damp and cold feeling was still there with the wind. During the short time that Gu Zhou had been outside, he felt cold and painful all over.

The power of autumn rain and wind should not be underestimated. He still had to pick some new vegetables to bring home, so he hurriedly picked up his backpack and rushed home.

Uncle Cai has gone to the woods behind, and it would be bad if he got caught there again. The village strictly forbids children of his age from entering the woods, so he must not be exposed.

Gu Zhou did not go home. Instead, he went around the outer wall and headed to the back of the yard.

When I passed by the door of her house, I looked inside and saw her getting up and walking into the house.

Gu Zhou was afraid of being seen, so he quickly dodged.

Because many plants on the mountain were growing wildly after a heavy rain, Gu Zhou took a casual walk around the periphery and saw the wild vegetables that he had eaten at home before.

They have a dialect here called "tiao tiao cai", which is available in all seasons, but tastes especially good when there is a lot of rain.

He happened to encounter a period of growth due to rain, so he simply took off his backpack, squatted down and set off.

The soil was very soft due to days of rain, and a thin body like Gu Zhou would make a hole when he walked on it.

He quickly grabbed the vegetables and threw them into the backpack. It didn't matter that his hands were covered in mud, because the backpack was usually filled with vegetables and made of wood.

After finishing all these dishes, Gu Zhou went home contentedly: "I'm back."

When Shen Wu heard the voice, he put down his busy hands and quickly smiled at Gu Zhou who had returned.
