A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Gu Zhou really couldn't persuade her, so he had to sit quietly beside the stove, warming himself by the fire, trying to help.

"Stop it. Can you please bring the pancakes or something over?" Shen Wu interrupted Gu Zhou's intention to make trouble and assigned him a task.

Gu Zhou picked up the small basin and went to the main room.

The fire on Shen Wu's side had gone out, but there was still some warmth in the stove. Looking at the flickering charcoal fire, he suddenly wanted to try roasting chestnuts.

She did it right away. She took out a handful of chestnuts, cut them open with a knife, and threw them into the ashes in the stove.

Afraid that the chestnuts would not be cooked through, she took a round wooden stick and dug a small hole in the ashes, then pushed the chestnuts in one by one.

After covering the ashes, Shen Wu served the soup and went to the main room with it.

Gu Zhou passed her at the door of the main room. He wanted to go back to get the soup, but she had already brought it to him. He changed his mind and went to get the bowl.

When he came back with the bowl, he saw that she was holding her little brother who was whimpering and wanted to cry but couldn't, and her little sister who looked sleepy.

"Xiao Wei, you must wash your face, hands and mouth carefully later!" Shen Wu instructed her patiently, fearing that Gu Wei would forget in the excitement.

It's not that she's talkative and looking for trouble, it's mainly because Gu Wei has actually done this before, eating while half asleep and forgetting to wash her hands, face and mouth.

Fortunately, Shen Wu discovered it and stopped it in time, otherwise Gu Wei would have eaten with dirty hands, face and mouth.

There was a layer of very fine, barely noticeable snowflakes on the pan-fried dumplings made by Shen Wu. Gu Wei noticed this immediately and quickly went to wash her hands, face and rinse her mouth.

Gu Zhou took over the job of feeding his brothers as usual. Shen Wu had no intention of competing with him. She let her take over and she felt happy and comfortable.

After washing the dishes after dinner, the younger brother fell asleep due to sleepiness. Shen Wu took out the clothing patterns he had drawn before and showed them to the two of them.

Gu Zhou didn't know which one was better, so he asked Gu Wei: "Xiao Wei, which one do you think?"

Gu Wei didn’t quite understand and shook her head: “I like them all.”

Shen Wu was somewhat prepared for this answer.

Since neither of them knew the answer, I simply threw the question back to her: "What do you think..."

Shen Wu sighed: "Then I'll just do it casually. If it doesn't look good or isn't acceptable, I won't be responsible."

"Row"

"Row"

The two of them answered in unison, causing Shen Wu to suddenly feel a little pressured.

The pattern she showed was of Chinese style with cotton, but the inside was not filled with cotton, but cattails and reeds.

The pants are designed with the simplest and most convenient drawstring design of modern times, and the inner layer of the pants can also hold things, so she also needs to make an inner garment.

Having decided this, she first found the cloth, because she had to look at the clothes first.

Seeing her busy, Gu Zhou left the side room, went to his original room, took out several rows of mattresses he had woven yesterday, and continued to tie and weave.

Gu Wei was very curious about how the clothes she drew were made.

Shen Wu didn't do the pre-shrinking and just tore out a piece of cloth to figure out how to do it.

The width in ancient times was narrow, about 60 to 70 cm. She had to do two sets for each person, plus her younger brother's, how many times did she have to do it in total!

After Shen Wu calculated the result, he almost fainted.

This workload is extremely heavy!

Shen Wu put the cloth down and picked up the unfinished shoe basket.

It turned out that she should just finish herself first before doing anything else, otherwise she would be exhausted to death before she even finishes it.

Shen Wu worked on the upper of the last pair of shoes very quickly. Maybe it was because she had gained experience from the first two pairs of shoes, but she finished the last pair of shoes perfectly in less than an hour.

After cutting off the knotted threads, these pairs of shoes were considered finished. She took out the other pairs, looked at the mottled uppers and bright white soles, and suddenly remembered something.

She had made these shoes in modern times, so she was so adept at making them again.

She was so excited at that time that she put it on her feet as soon as it was made. She made a size larger, but it was still a bit tight. She didn't feel happy for a while before her toes started to hurt badly.

She thought she had ordered a small size, and took all the measurements, but the size was always large. Later, she checked and realized, hey, guess what? New cloth shoes need to be stretched out, and they will become soft and normal after wearing them for a while.

Her shoes were too tight, purely because she was wearing thick socks to try them on. How could they not be tight?

Later, she used the foam shoe stretcher that came with the shoes she bought to support them. She was afraid that they were too soft, so she stuffed a lot of old newspapers into them. She left it there for a few days, and although the strength was not that strong, it was still effective.

Shen Wu tried the new pair he had made and found that he felt a little uncomfortable near his toes.

She stepped on the old shoes and felt the new shoes. Why did they feel more comfortable than those made in modern times?

Is this an illusion? Or is it that clothes and shoes made of ancient fabrics are more comfortable?

Indeed, the piece of clothing she was wearing inside was the one she had made before, and it was very comfortable to wear next to the skin, without any discomfort.

Due to the sudden autumn rain and cool wind, Shen Wu has been wearing new clothes inside and tattered clothes outside for the past few days. Also, because her roof is leaking, the whole bed is wet. It has been raining and there has been no sun for several days, and the bed is almost soaked. She has been sleeping in the same room and on the same bed with a few little kids.

At first she was a little uncomfortable, but later she got used to it. She is a mature lady in her thirties! Naturally she has to set an example, not be awkward, and work hard.

Her shoes needed to be stretched but she didn't have any suitable tools, not even the foam shoe stretchers that are commonly used in modern times for emergency purposes.

Shen Wu took off his shoes and sat back on the stool. His eyes accidentally swept across the machete standing upright in the room, and an idea came to his mind in time.

Since they are all used to support shoes, why not try using the handle of a machete!

It's not that she's crazy, it's mainly because the handle of the machete is a bit thick, and there's a hemp rope wrapped around the back, which is just enough to support the shoes.

Shen Wu put on her shoes and took out the machete. The obvious movement made Gu Zhou pay attention to her. Seeing her actions, Gu Zhou was obviously stunned, with confusion in his eyes.

He had just finished weaving a flower and his waist was sore, so he stood up to rest, pressing the mouth of the flower with his knees, and just in time saw what she was about to do.

Shen Wu held the machete upward under his armpit, and used his other untried shoe to press hard against the bottom of the handle.

While pressing and kneading, they will not stop until the flat tip of the shoe is pushed up.

Seeing the rapid effect, she quickly took off the other shoe to try it out. Sure enough, her toes were no longer squeezed. Although it still felt tight, there was no sense of oppression.

This method worked well, so she quickly took Gu Zhou and Gu Wei's shoes and pressed them down one by one to lift up the uppers.

I was afraid that the shoes would become loose if I pressed too hard, so I stopped only when the shoe surface bulged.

Gu Zhou had never seen anyone treat shoes in this way, but he could sense what she was doing by looking at her movements. He was stunned for a moment when he saw her crush her shoe and then put the machete outside the door to be exposed to the rain.

"You do that to hold up your shoes?"

Shen Wu turned his head and saw Gu Zhou leaning on the straw to rest: "This way you can stretch your feet without pressing on them. In fact, there should be special shoe stretchers, but I don't have one so I can only use a machete."

Gu Zhou was still a little confused and looked at the place where she put the machete outside the door: "Then? Why did you leave the machete at the door exposed to the rain?"

Shen Wu was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "There is a pair of shoes that I have worn. Although I wore it at the last moment, it is really a bit unhygienic. I want to clean it in the rain."

In fact, it was just a pair of shoes that she had tried on, so she just left the knife in the rain.
