A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

"You ask this, are you trying to make new farm tools? The ones at home aren't suitable enough?" It's not that Gu Zhou didn't want to do it, but all the farm tools at home could be used, and he couldn't think of what she wanted to make the new tools for.

Shen Wu had nothing to hide from him, so he simply took the blank cloth and charcoal pencil and started drawing.

"The farm tools at home can be used, but I want to make some more for mowing and digging the ground. You can see that the weeds in the fields at home are growing taller. I estimate that they will be much taller after this rain. It's okay to pull them out by hand once or twice, but we can't do it all the time."

Shen Wu said as she painted a shovel for him. It was a style she had used for many years and she could draw the pattern with her eyes closed.

"This is the head of the shovel. It can be used to dig the ground after the crops are harvested. For example, we don't need to use a hoe to dig out the wheat stubble in the field. The ground will be turned over directly after we dig it out, and it will be better for planting crops."

Shen Wu didn't know how to explain it... She just used her decades of experience in farming with the elderly to explain to him why these tools were made.

It is too troublesome to use only a hoe, so it is better to make one that is more useful.

The only tools available at home were a rusty machete, an axe, two hoes, and two sickles. I had never seen anything else.

Gu Zhou didn't say anything. He saw the painting she was pointing at and thought carefully: "I don't know the price, but I can help you ask the villagers where it was made and how much it costs."

In fact, he was not very willing to let her make new farm tools. The money she had just earned would soon be gone at the rate she was spending it, but Gu Zhou was willing to trust her.

Shen Wu also knew that her idea of ​​making new farm tools was outrageous. In ancient times, productivity was low and it was not easy to make money. She also wanted to make new farm tools, which would definitely cost a lot of money... Her family didn't earn much, and if her method didn't work, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

"Or... forget it..." She was about to take back her words when Gu Zhou spoke again.

"I don't know if what you said is useful or not, but you have made the right decision. Let me make it clear to you first, our family was poor before, but now we make money by selling buns. Don't show it, you must always be on guard against others."

Gu Zhou's instructions to her were not without reason. Because of his father's talent, the village accepted them. Over the years, the people in Lijia Village were very simple and honest, but Jiang Yu had done something wrong before, and some people hated her and there was no way to change her.

I can only remind her to be careful and not to be discovered. If she is tricked by someone, not only will her identity be exposed, but she will also be arrested.

Shen Wu heard the deeper meaning of his words, was silent for a while and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Let's forget about the farm tools for now. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Let's not do it. Farming like this will make us more tired, but we have to protect ourselves."

Gu Zhou didn't expect that she would reject her previous idea out of the blue. He wanted to persuade her but was blocked by her: "Don't worry, it's not because of you. You are right to worry. I was too shallow. I have to thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have learned my lesson again."

Regarding her... Gu Zhou was puzzled. Why did she do it again? Did he say anything before?

Shen Wu was referring to the fact that she rescued people because she acted on impulse and didn't consider the consequences at all.

After she came to her senses, she realized that she was not involved in anything, so she just pretended that it had never happened.

But she can no longer live like modern people, she needs to be aware of the dangers and be prepared for them.

In fact...she...has always lived in Gu Zhou's house with the mood of experiencing life, just as if it were a dream, an imaginary world.

But the longer she lived, the more she could not treat it as just a dream, and she was always wavering between dreams and reality.

"Let me ask you something. How do you usually deal with the weeds in the fields? Do you pull them out?" Shen Wu asked what she was curious about. In fact, it was normal to have weeds in the fields when harvesting wheat at the beginning. Later, they dealt with the wheat stubble in the fields, and in the process, they also burned the weeds or gathered them together with the hoe, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

In fact, there were already a lot of grass in the field before the rain, but because the ground was too dry and cracked, and the seedlings were small, it was not worth pulling them out, so she ignored it.

But we have to take care of it after this autumn rain. Rain is the best nourishment. If we don’t deal with it quickly, the radishes and millet seeds in the fields will no longer grow.

Gu Zhou said without thinking: "At home, we take a small stool and wait until the ground is half dry but not sticky to our feet, then we slowly clean it."

It was similar to what Shen Wu thought, they were clearing the weeds manually. She had done something like this when she was bored as a child, pulling weeds with her hands, and in an afternoon she only cleared a small area of ​​seven or eight meters.

She had considered what Gu Zhou said, and was afraid that if she was too exposed, she would be arrested and tortured, but... there were too many things to do. She also wanted to build a toilet, and her winter cotton-padded clothes were not all made yet. She also had to dry radishes and prepare firewood for winter...

"What if... we secretly make a shovel and a spade head?" Shen Wu asked cautiously.

Actually, it's not impossible. The main thing is that the money has just been received, and Gu Zhou wants to prepare some Eastern goods for the three of them, so that they will feel better in case the winter is difficult.

Gu Zhou was thinking about the price of the hoes and sickles his father had bought for so many times before. It was about a hundred coins. In the past, he would not even dare to think about it, but now, he just thought it was okay.

If you go and fight for it, it will cost about three hundred coins or more, maybe even more.

While he was thinking, Shen Wu was also hesitant. Would this bring trouble to others? If he showed up too much, would it make things difficult for this family?

This is how their family uses it for farm work in modern times, and if they are serious about it, they need to get more farm tools to make it better and more convenient.

"Forget it! Let's not talk about this anymore. We'll talk about it later." Shen Wu took the initiative to interrupt the conversation, took out the cloth buttons, and continued to put them on the lapel.

Although she had not been making clothes for a long time, she would usually go over the clothing-making process in her mind, and since she was familiar with it, she could make buttons quickly.

Gu Zhou sat down to rest and continued to drink water. He was thinking about what she said and was unable to come back to his senses for a while.

When he came to his senses, he saw her starting to sew clothes.

Shen Wu was making the simplest straight-line cloth button and had already sewn the third one.

Gu Zhou was very curious about why she was wearing such clothes, so he raised his head and looked towards her.

The clothes she had made before were of a similar style, with a row of cloth buttons from top to bottom on the chest, and a piece of extra cloth inside. Gu Zhou was afraid that it would be exposed at first, but after wearing it, she found that this dress was convenient and easy to use.

While Shen Wu was sewing, she suddenly remembered her previous plan. She had to make close-fitting underwear for the two children. Since Gu Wei had not grown yet, there was no need to make anything to wear above her. All she needed was a pair of boxer briefs for each of the two children.

She was a little confused: should it be tighter or looser? Longer or shorter?

After hesitating for only a second, Shen Wu decided to make a looser and longer pair, about the same length as the leggings she had seen in modern times, and then put on a belt and tie it directly.
