A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband
Chapter 126 Memories
It has been drizzling for the past few days. The air is filled with the fishy smell of earth.
Shen Wu has already cut out a piece of clothing, and all that’s left is to sew it together to make it look good on the body.
Gu Zhou took advantage of the time when it was not raining to go to the ground again. The ground was slippery, but fortunately he was young and had walked a lot, so he did not fall to the ground.
The few plots of land in our family were earned by my father when he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. Because his writing was decent enough, he received some appreciation. He didn't have to pay tax on the land, but could just keep it and sell it for money.
Because of the rain for many days, it was impossible to even walk on the ground. The dry and cracked ground was soaked by the continuous rain and became soft. The result of lifting my foot to try was that half of the shoe was swallowed.
Gu Zhou rubbed the mud off the soles of his shoes on the grass, thought about the vegetables that needed to be replenished at home, and turned to walk towards the back of the mountain.
Their land is located in a remote area, and on ordinary days, it is unlikely to see anyone there except the villagers who come to the nearby fields.
He had met Uncle Cai on rainy days recently. In such cold weather, almost no one went out, so he took a shortcut and walked quickly towards the woods on the back mountain.
The basket on his back was waiting to be filled with vegetables. Gu Zhou walked along the edge of the woods looking for fresh vegetables after the rain.
To be honest, he didn't know which ones were edible. He was familiar with many wild vegetables, but he didn't dare to eat them. He still vividly remembered the experience of accidentally eating wild vegetables and falling into a coma when he was a child. However, he picked some familiar ones and put them in the backpack.
While Gu Zhou was trying hard to find something that could cook vegetables, Shen Wu wished he could turn into an octopus with eight arms so that he could make clothes faster.
Shen Wu was making a Chinese-style double-breasted shirt. She loved wearing such clothes in modern times. She bought them online at first, but later she started making them herself to divert her attention due to anxiety.
For her, making this style of clothes is a piece of cake, except that sewing by hand is too painful.
In fact, Shen Wu didn’t have a sewing machine at the beginning, so she sewed clothes by hand. While she was doing it, she would listen to some horror or fantasy videos.
The slow craft can calm her chaotic heart and relieve her uncontrollable fear and wild thoughts.
The only bad thing is that she may have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder. The stitches must be fine and regular. Otherwise, she will feel uncomfortable after sewing a section and looking at the seams.
But thanks to this, Shen Wu was able to make clothes quickly and well. Gradually, the speed of making clothes with the half-stitch method increased a lot.
There were no overlock machines in ancient times, so she planned to sew everything using the front and back seam method. This way, the raw edges of the finished clothes would be wrapped up, and only a thin narrow edge would be visible inside, which looked neat and comfortable.
Shen Wu was afraid that Gu Wei might need her, so she simply put her things on the dining table and spread her clothes on it to sew, so that she could occasionally look up and see Gu Wei and her younger brother.
It seems that little brother Gu has grown up since she came. He doesn’t show any crying or making trouble like a child. Instead, he is very obedient...
Shen Wu once suspected that the child had some invisible problem. He almost never cried, and the few times he cried could be counted on one hand.
The child really likes to crawl around now, but he can’t speak yet. He likes to be patted and touched and make a few sounds, then open his big round eyes to study the curious things.
After Shen Wu had finished sewing all the clothes with the reverse sides facing each other, she suddenly remembered something: did an ancient iron need to be made?
Then she killed the idea.
Why are you still thinking about ironing your clothes after you’ve already put them on? Just skip it!
In modern times, in order to make the clothes look good after they are finished, she will iron and sew the clothes, then put them on to see the effect in the mirror, and then take a picture of her upper body, without showing her head, and post it online to share with like-minded people.
Because of anxiety...a series of problems, she was unable to work and earn money for a time, and could only take on the later stages of mindless novels to support herself.
She was very afraid of hospitals, to the point that once she was in the hospital she would imagine she was sick even if she was not.
Shen Wu had gone for check-ups before, having visited several hospitals. The doctors always said that there was nothing wrong with her, and that her hair loss, insomnia, fear, panic, etc. were most likely caused by anxiety.
Later, Shen Wu stopped seeing a doctor because she didn't want to. She was busy at home and she was the eldest child, so whenever there was something wrong, her family would look for her.
She didn't want to be discovered that she was sick and be scolded... She didn't want to hear those words again.
Shen Wu just wants to live one day at a time, as long as he can. During these days, he will help his family with whatever they need.
(ps: Dear friends, if you are anxious or something, you must go to the doctor! Don’t do it like it is written in the book, because it is arranged only for the plot! Don’t imitate and learn! If you are sick, you must go to the hospital! If you feel uncomfortable, you must also see a doctor!)
Later, when she arrived in ancient times, she was surprised to find that her symptoms had disappeared... She didn't know if it was because of the change of environment, or if she had suppressed them, but she felt more and more relaxed, and the stone in her heart was slowly cracking and dissipating.
Chinese clothing is very easy to make. It is almost always cut from one piece. After sewing the center seam of the garment and connecting the body and sleeves, you can then cover the collar.
The lapel is only that long, so after finishing it, all that’s left is to wrap the collar and roll up the cuffs to finish the bottom edge.
Finally she started making buttons.
Making cloth buttons is even simpler. I have seen elders making them since I was a child, and later I made them myself. I quickly made five cloth buttons.
Just when she was about to put on the cloth buttons, Gu Zhou came back from outside carrying something.
Shen Wu quickly put down his things and went out of the house to meet him.
After helping to unload the backpack, she pulled Gu Zhou and carried the backpack into the main room.
Putting down the backpack, she poured out a bowl of water for Gu Zhou. Because it had been boiled early, the kettle was not very heat-preserving, so the water was a little cold.
"How's the field?" Shen Wu handed the water to Gu Zhou for him to drink.
Gu Zhou was also thirsty. He had been out for so long, carrying things and walking through so many slippery places, so he drank up all the water in no time.
"anything else?"
Gu Zhou shook his head, put the bowl on the table, and responded to her previous question: "The ground blanket is too soft because of soaking. Let's wait for the rain to stop."
Shen Wu had expected this. Not long before she traveled through time, she was still planting vegetables in the fields in the autumn. It rained a lot in autumn, and she didn't know if it was because of the weather disorder, but there was almost no rain that season, and the dry ground was full of cracks.
Autumn is the season for harvest and planting. If it doesn’t rain every day, we have to water the fields. Fortunately, we grow cold-resistant vegetables at home, so we didn’t have to water them much before the first and last autumn rain came.
It continued to rain for many days, with such heavy rain that some low-lying areas were flooded.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zhou looked at her with a long gaze, as if he was thinking about something.
Shen Wu, who was brought back to her senses, shook her head and smiled. She thought about modern life again.
"It's okay. If it's raining, then don't go in. It's a good opportunity to take a break." As she said this, Shen Wu remembered something and pulled his clothes to motion for her to sit down.
"You say." Gu Zhou had been with her for these days, so he naturally understood what she was doing.
"Where do you get the farm tools for your home? How much does it cost to make just the head?"
Gu Zhou was really confused by Shen Wu's question. He didn't know why she asked this, but if she wanted to make new farm tools, he had to ask clearly.
