A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Gu Wei answered her doubts: "Brother said he was hungry and wanted to eat!"

"Ah? Really?" Shen Wu was a little unconvinced. With the limited energy she had in taking care of the baby, shouldn't she say, "Mommy, Mommy or something like that?"

It is true that she has very little experience in taking care of children. The children she takes care of are all adults, not children. The only one or two times she helped take care of children on the high-speed train, when the mother of the child went to the toilet, she helped to look after the child for a while.

I vaguely remember that the child seemed to be younger than Brother Gu, because he was lively and always touching here and there, and once I didn't hold him and let him stand on my lap, he would slip away like a fish.

"It must be true!" Gu Wei said unconvinced.

“Come on, little brother, call out to Sister Jiang Yu one more time!” Gu Wei held little brother Gu in her arms and coaxed him into wanting to hear little brother Gu speak again.

But little brother Gu was very clever. When he saw Shen Wu, he smiled and reached out for a hug.

Shen Wu took the child and patted him. Thinking that Gu Wei had been helping to look after the child for the whole day, he asked in a negotiating manner, "We'll have minced meat soup tonight. Xiaowei, do you want to come with your brother to watch me cook?"

It’s not that she didn’t want to make something delicious, but it was mainly because it became difficult to do the job once it got dark. She changed the meat soup into minced meat soup so that her younger brother could also eat it.

I ate one piece of fried meat at noon, chewing it slowly. Maybe it was the first time I ate meat with this taste. After eating one, I kept lingering on the table and wanted more.

Shen Wu was afraid that the child would have diarrhea from eating too much oily food, so he quickly fed it some soup to prevent Little Brother Gu from attacking the food on the table without noticing.

"Meat and rice soup?" Gu Wei asked doubtfully, "Can meat and rice be used together to make soup?"

Shen Wu was afraid that he would be too late, so he carried his little brother and a small chair to the kitchen, explaining as he walked: "It's not meat and rice soup, I mean minced meat soup, which means chopping the meat into very small pieces, marinating it to remove the fishy smell, and then cooking it together with the minced noodle soup."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, rice soup can also be eaten with minced meat. Adding some chopped green onions at the end will make it very fragrant."

Gu Wei was drooling just listening to this. It must be delicious.

Shen Wu placed the chair and his younger brother at the kitchen door, then went in first and started to light a fire with a faint light.

I also have a fire starter at home, which saves me a lot of trouble.

After lighting the fire in the stove and adding four bowls of water, Shen Wu carried his younger brother's bamboo chair into the kitchen: "Stay aside with Sister Gu Wei, I'll make you some minced meat soup."

Gu Wei habitually took a piece of wood to make a stool and sat next to her younger brother, watching Jiang Yu busying himself with him.

Shen Wu first took out the remaining meat from the backpack on a stool as high as his knees off the ground, cut off a fist-sized amount with a knife, cut it into thin strips, and then cut it into small pieces.

"Sister Jiang Yu, the fried meat patties you made at noon were so delicious! My brother and I ate a lot! Can you make more?" Gu Wei looked expectantly at the side.

Shen Wu smiled helplessly and shook her head: "Fried meat patties are delicious, but we ate them during the day, so it's not good to eat something so greasy at night. Can I make it for you tomorrow?"

After getting the promise, Gu Wei nodded quickly, fearing that she would go back on her word: "Then I'll help you cook tomorrow!"

Gu Wei is not a stupid child, but a very good and obedient child. It is because of this, and Gu Zhou's exceptionally sensible and obedient character, that Shen Wu wants to do something for them to the best of his ability.

Shen Wu took the knife and chopped the meat quickly until it became minced meat, then stopped.

Seeing that she was about to take the green onion and ginger, Gu Wei hurriedly ran over and handed them over: "Sister Jiang Yu, give them to me!"

Shen Wu was healed by Gu Wei's actions and smiled especially gently: "Don't bother, sister can do it, thank you Xiaowei for your hard work."

Gu Wei shyly shook her head and ran back to sit on the small firewood next to her brother.

Marinate the minced meat with green onion and ginger, add some salt as the base flavor and set aside.

It was not enough to just eat the meat, so I cut some wild vegetables for later use.

She asked the two children to wait while she went to the main room, grabbed a few handfuls of rice, put it into the stone mortar, and used a stone hammer to grind it into small grains before stopping.

The water in the pot over there was about to boil, so she quickly put down the mortar and started the other stove. She took some lard to moisten the bottom, picked out all the green onions and ginger, and fried the minced meat.

The water in the pot was boiling. Shen Wu rinsed the rice and put it into the pot to stir it, then covered it with a wooden lid and waited for it to boil.

Because the rice grains were crushed, they cooked very quickly. In less than ten minutes, when Shen Wu scooped it out with a spoon and tasted it, it was already cooked.

She scooped all the cooked rice soup in this pot into the pot with the fried minced meat, stirred it evenly, then turned the heat over. Finally, she used chopsticks to put all the chopped vegetables into the pot and covered the pot with a lid before stopping.

Shen Wu stood up to rest his bent back, then turned around and looked at Gu Zhou who had just returned from outside: "You're back? Have some meat and rice soup tonight."

Gu Zhou nodded, put his things in front of the kitchen, and came in to wash his hands.

Gu Wei explained to her brother: "Minced meat soup is not minced meat soup, it is a delicious soup made with meat and rice!"

Shen Wu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. This child is really good at learning to talk.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wei said, "It's delicious!"

Gu Zhou hummed in response to her words, and his younger brother's reaction was quite eye-catching: "Howl...howl...Ci Da!"

Shen Wu finally heard the younger brother talking, and walked forward curiously to talk to him.

She pointed at herself and said patiently, "Good sister."

I don’t know if I was because I was familiar with her or because I wanted to talk, but I actually started to imitate her: “Howl...good job...”

Forget it...I'd better not teach you.

Shen Wu smiled helplessly, stood up and said to his younger brother: "This is the first time I've heard you speak since I woke up in so many days. How come you only remember food..."

Gu Zhou wiped his hands and answered her doubts: "The first time my little brother spoke, he was also eating. At that time, he said to us that he wanted to eat." As he spoke, he picked up the little brother, held him in his arms and patted his back.

"Be good, sister will prepare the meal in a moment, brother will take you out to see the stars, okay."

Gu Zhou took the child out so as not to disturb her cooking. Shen Wu looked at Gu Wei following her brother like a little tail and felt very upset. The meal would only take another ten minutes. She originally wanted to go out. These people would not think that she still needed to cook.

Shen Wu glanced at the fire in the stove and confirmed that it was not big, then walked into the yard and followed them.

"How much grass is left in the field?" she asked as she looked at Gu Zhou, who was pointing out the starry sky and giving the two children some science education.

Gu Zhou took the opportunity to reply her: "There are only two grids left. I'll do it tomorrow afternoon and it will be done quickly."

Shen Wu absolutely disagreed and quickly rejected his decision: "No, let's do it together and finish it earlier and come back earlier."

Gu Zhou hugged his younger brother and shook him, completely ignoring how tightly his younger brother was holding his hair: "Don't you still need to dye your clothes? I'll help you dye and hang them up tomorrow. You can take a rest after I'm done. There isn't much work in the fields."

Even a sensible person doesn't understand things this way. As a long-time parent and eldest sister, Shen Wu looked particularly serious: "I know you are the eldest and need to do more things, but you have to know that sometimes you don't have to do so much by yourself. There is always work to be done. I will go with you so that we can finish the work earlier and come back earlier."
