A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu and Gu Zhou were waiting for Master Li and Master Li at the town entrance.

Carrying on their backs was some fresh pork they had bought.

The sun came out today and it was a bit sunny, but because it had just rained, the water vapor on the ground did not evaporate quickly and there was still moisture in the air.

This was her first time visiting the town's vegetable market, and it was surprisingly similar to the one in her hometown, with vegetables and various sundries placed on the roadside. The more elaborate ones were either placed in backpacks or on carts.

She bought a piece of 50-50 pork tenderloin with lard. She didn't know if it was because of the pig that Gu Zhou caught at the beginning, or because of her body condition, but Shen Wu couldn't really smell the fishy smell of ancient pig.

It just so happens that now she can eat more dishes cooked with lard.

It's not that she is being pretentious. In modern times, she could hardly eat pork. Once she smelled the fishy smell, she would vomit uncontrollably until she vomited tears.

Lard is also sold in the food store, but she felt that the smell was not right... After thinking about it, she decided to buy some meat and go back to process it herself.

The two grandfathers soon appeared in front of them. Seeing that the two children had been waiting there for a long time, they hurriedly drove over to let the two children get in, and whipped the horse to drive back.

Shen Wu and Gu Zhou both held on to the backpack, fearing that the meat inside would fall out.

The dirt road after the rain was not easy to walk on. Normally, this road was hardened by walking on it, but the rain had been falling continuously for several days in the past few days, and the rain had seeped into the ground. The oxen and horses pulling the carts walked on this road again, leaving some hoof and wheel marks on the originally hard and flat road surface.

The ox cart swayed for a while before finally arriving at the village entrance. Gu Zhou was afraid that Third Master would have to see him off, so he spoke first: "Third Master, A Yu and I will get off here. It's a good opportunity for us to go to the fields and take a look."

"OK." Uncle Li San stopped the car and got out from the front. The two children jumped out of the car and put them on the backpack.

"Uncle San and Uncle San, we're leaving!" Shen Wu smiled and waved goodbye to the two old men. Although he hadn't come into contact with many people during these days, the people here were simple and kind, which was much better than working in modern areas.

The two men waved goodbye to Uncle Li and Uncle Li San and walked side by side towards home.

The road to the fields is the same road as home, except for a fork in the road that leads to different directions.

Perhaps because Shen Wu had been selling buns dressed as a man for many days, Gu Zhou felt relieved that she was alone at the stall. When buying oil paper, he asked about the situation of several iron shops in the town.

"When I was buying oil paper, I asked the department store about the blacksmiths in town. There were two in the town. One sold all kinds of goods, and the iron pots in the store were made by that company. The materials were pretty good. The other one specialized in making all kinds of iron tools, and the materials could be selected depending on what you wanted to make."

Gu Zhou looked serious, thinking about which one to go to.

Shen Wu had never expected that he would actually do this. She was stunned for a moment and secretly glanced at Gu Zhou's expression. She could see no reluctance on his face, and he didn't seem to be doing this to please her.

Gu Zhou thought as he walked, carefully stepping on the road while tightening the backpack on his back: "If I only make the iron shovel head and the grass shovel head you mentioned, I estimate it will cost almost one or two taels of silver."

"So expensive!" Shen Wu exclaimed. Fortunately, there was no one nearby, as her reaction would have attracted some attention.

Shen Wu was a little hesitant about whether to do the iron work. In ancient times, attracting too much attention was not a good thing. If she was discovered, her house would be visited many times...

After thinking for a while, she said: "Forget it... let's not do it. I was thinking that after our business is up, we will not farm like this anymore, we can just do business."

Gu Zhou was stunned when he heard her say that. Not knowing what she was thinking, he agreed with her idea: "Okay."

Shen Wu wasn't trying to tease anyone. She was afraid that her arrival would bring unnecessary trouble to the family. Selling buns was enough for them to live on, and forget about farming and making iron tools. It would not be good to be too ostentatious.

As they were talking, they had already reached the edge of the field. The rain that had seeped in for days had made the ground very soft to step on. Shen Wu only tried his foot at the edge of the field and did not go any further.

"By the way, do you have straw sandals at home?" Shen Wu suddenly asked while carrying a backpack.

Gu Zhou just pulled up a handful of weeds and wanted to try pulling them out at this moment.

"Yes," Gu Zhou said as he threw the grass in his hand to a place where people on the road could not step on it.

"Why haven't I seen anyone wearing them at home?" Shen Wu was very puzzled. When she came, it was late summer and early autumn, so she should have seen people wearing straw sandals. Everyone at home wore cloth shoes, and they were rotten ones.

“You…” Gu Zhou didn’t know how to start. He turned the word “you” around and then back again: “My mother’s straw sandals were rotten during the funeral. I had just made new ones but didn’t have time to change them when you fainted. Later, when I wanted to change them, I didn’t have time to take them out.”

"! Damn! The ground is so rough today! Will my cloth shoes get broken if I step on them?" Shen Wu suddenly cried out in shock again.

Gu Zhou shook his head: "No, the soles of the shoes were made with tree bark when my father was alive. They are made in several layers. If the uppers get wet, they will be fine as long as they are dried. Even if there is some water on the soles, it will not be damaged."

Gu Zhou's words made Shen Wu look at the pair of black cloth shoes with patches all over his feet: "Uncle is so awesome!"

She only knows how to make cloth shoes, the kind of non-waterproof home shoes, but she can make waterproof ones! It's amazing!

"Uncle?" Gu Zhou was a little confused, but soon realized that was what his father meant.

"Let's go home quickly! My sister must be waiting anxiously!" Shen Wu waved to him and hurried back.

Gu Zhou patted the dirt on his hands and followed her.

"I'm back!" Shen Wu opened the gate and shouted.

The accumulated water in the low-lying areas of the yard was still receding, and only the occasional reflection on the soil surface could reveal traces of water. Fortunately, the road from the gate to each house was a little higher and had long been dry. It was also exposed to the wind and sun, so only a little bit of water stuck to the ground when you walked on it.

Gu Wei was playing with her younger brother in the room. When she heard Jiang Yu's voice outside, she knew they were back. She carried her laughing little brother on the bed and went to the main room to greet them.

Shen Wu didn't carry much. In her backpack were some light oil paper and wild vegetables bought from the market. She forgot the names of the vegetables, but they were often eaten at home in autumn. She didn't expect to come across them in ancient times. She spent four or five cents to buy a lot of them.

She left some tofu from the morning because it was the first time that she was selling buns with only one flavor, so she didn't dare to buy too much. So she only made four-fifths of the half-board tofu and kept one-fifth for herself.

"Brother, Sister Jiang Yu!" Gu Wei carried her younger brother to the bamboo chair in the main room and said to them excitedly.

Shen Wu washed her hands in the basin, dried them with a towel, went over and touched her head: "How are you doing at home? Have you eaten the tofu soup dumplings?"

Gu Wei nodded. Since Jiang Yu cooked the tofu, vegetables and noodles very finely and ground them into a paste, the younger brother actually drank a small bowl of it.

"Delicious!" Gu Wei knew that her cooking was delicious, but she didn't know that tofu could be so delicious.

"If it's delicious, don't eat too much." She put Shen Wu's backpack on the table, and also helped to take Gu Zhou's backpack, who came in later and washed his hands, and put it on the table.

She was really afraid that the child would drink too much without restraint and get indigestion, then vomit and feel nauseous, and the child would be the one who suffered.

"I know! I only drank a small bowl and ate two buns!" Gu Wei said as if waiting for praise.
