Seeing that Gu Zhou still wanted to explain something, Shen Wu spoke directly and put the subject aside for the time being.

"It's almost time to eat. It will be dark soon. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

If we don't let her go, she won't go? Humph, let's see how she works tomorrow.

Gu Zhou first put his younger brother down on a bamboo chair and then carried him to the main room.

Gu Wei didn't know what they were arguing about. Anyway, she had her help to take care of her younger brother at home, so they didn't have to worry about her younger brother's problems.

Gu Wei was still a little child. When she heard Jiang Yu say that dinner was about to start, she quickly followed him over to help.

How could Shen Wu not see the little tail behind her? She didn't know what the child was going to do, so she pretended not to see it and went into the kitchen, washed her hands, and reached out to grab the bowl on the woven drain rack.

"Sister Jiang Yu, let me help you!" Gu Wei did not forget to pay attention to the situation over there while washing her hands. Seeing that she was about to fetch the bowl, she learned from Shen Wu's method of speaking first and then taking action.

Gu Wei wiped her hands hurriedly and ran over to take the bowl from Jiang Yu.

"Sister Jiang Yu, let me help you!" Gu Wei smiled and repeated to Jiang Yu.

"Xiaowei washed her hands and went to the main room to wait for her sister to bring the soup. It was dark at night and the road was difficult to walk on, so she asked her sister to bring it."

"I want to help." Gu Wei looked a little depressed. She was not tired of taking care of her brother!

"I can see the road clearly. Sister Jiang Yu, I'm not tired either. I'm having fun playing with my little brother! I used to help mom with cooking."

What Gu Wei said was the truth. When her mother was seriously ill, her brother was busy working in the fields, and she followed her mother and younger brother to work at home. She had strength and did not feel tired. She even moved her own share of the firewood at home.

"Okay, okay..." Shen Wu gave in helplessly: "Then I'll trouble Xiaowei."

Gu Wei took the dishes and chopsticks and walked happily towards the main room.

Shen Wu poured the minced meat soup, which was as thick as rice porridge, into the bowl he usually used to drink soup from. He added some water to the pot to soak it before picking up the bowl and walking towards the main room.

After the firewood in the kitchen naturally went out, only the light of the oil lamp that was left specially was left. You just need to go back and extinguish it later.

Gu Wei had just set the table with her brother and was about to come over to help. She was seen carrying a basin and walking in under the dim moonlight.

"Be careful not to get burned." Shen Wu put the basin away and scooped about three quarters of the meat porridge into each bowl.

Gu Zhou took out something from the inner room, dusted it off casually, and was about to put it on his younger brother's chest.

Shen Wu was just about to sit down when he saw what he was holding in his hand and was surprised: "Bibbis? Use it to wrap my chest!"

Gu Zhou tied up the bib she mentioned and adjusted its approximate location: "I should have taken it out earlier in the past, but my little brother is still breastfeeding this summer and can't use it. I said I would take it out a few days ago, but I didn't find it. I suddenly remembered its location at noon today."

This napkin looks like an old item. Under the dim oil lamp, you can see traces of mending on it.

The baby's skin is delicate. Shen Wu was surprised that Gu Zhou took it out and used it directly: "Why don't you wash it before using it?"

"Children are not that delicate. This dirt-proof scarf has been washed several times and dried in the hot sun for several days. It's fine." Gu Zhou picked up the younger brother's share on the table, stirred some with the small spoon and brought it up to cool.

"This little scarf was used by Gu Wei and I. It was even more casual back then, so it's okay." Gu Zhou said this to reassure her. She said that she can't take care of children and hates children, but she would always show extra concern whenever it comes to her younger brother.

"That's fine." After Shen Wu made sure everything was fine, he turned around and told Gu Wei to be careful and let it cool down before drinking.

Gu Wei was a person who loved to wait, so she started drinking early by picking up her chopsticks and scratching the edge of the bowl.

She is worthy of being the one who loves to eat the most in the family. She is not afraid of the heat at all and keeps mumbling something while eating.

Shen Wu turned his head to listen carefully, and heard the child say: "It tastes good, really good!"

Shen Wu was quite happy to have someone who loved to eat the food she cooked. But when she thought about the child's tendency to indigestion, her originally happy face turned a little worried.

When Gu Wei had already started to scoop the second bowl, she couldn't help but remind her: "Xiao Wei, don't drink too much at night. Eating too much will cause indigestion. Three or four bowls will be enough."

"I understand, Sister Jiang Yu." Gu Wei put down the spoon and sat back on the stool, stirring the second bowl of meat porridge with chopsticks, hoping that it would cool down soon.

After dinner, Shen Wu started to clear the dishes. Gu Zhou wanted to lend a hand, but his younger brother was clinging too tightly and he had no choice but to go forward to help.

Because he went to weed the fields in the afternoon, he didn't have time to pick fresh shepherd's purse. Shen Wu searched through the entire basket and only got a little bit, which was only enough for two pots of buns, not enough to sell.

She was not in a hurry. She kneaded the dough first and placed the basin next to the stove. It wasn't that hot these days, so the dough didn't rise well and still needed to be warm enough.

Shen Wu looked left and right, and felt that it wouldn't work, so he started to start a fire using the light of the oil lamp.

The dough from the past few days obviously didn’t rise well, and the steamed buns didn’t taste as soft as before. She didn’t save the old dough because of the weather and was afraid it would turn sour, but it seems she has to save the old dough starting today.

I used some dry grass to light the stove and put some thin dry branches in it.

She planned to use the warm water bath method to put the washbasin into the pot. Fortunately, the washbasin was boiled and was several times smaller than the pot, so her method could work.

When the water reaches a hot temperature, you can turn off the heat, scoop out some of the excess water in the pot, and then place the entire basin into the pot of water.

The pot lid at home is an old-fashioned large round wooden plate. If it is covered, it is very likely to be sticky and messy due to the rising dough.

Shen Wu turned around a few times but couldn't find anything to put on the cage, so she chose the cage cloth as the lid. She was afraid that the temperature and humidity were not enough, so she wanted to find a semicircular object to cover it, but unfortunately there was no such thing at home.

"Is there anything you need to light the fire?" Gu Zhou suddenly spoke while standing at the kitchen entrance holding his younger brother.

"Shit!" Shen Wu was so frightened that he trembled unconsciously.

She turned around, looked at Gu Zhou helplessly, and made a serious suggestion: "Next time, could you make some noise before talking at night? It's too scary."

In fact, Gu Zhou regretted it the moment he said it. She had been scared before, but not at night. This time he thought maybe it didn't matter, so he spoke out.

Gu Zhou was sincere and walked into the kitchen holding his younger brother: "I'm really sorry, I won't do it again next time."

“Forget it, forget it.” Shen Wu waved his hands. He was too sensitive. Not to mention this situation, he would be frightened even in broad daylight.

"When did you come? Why don't you go and rest?" Shen Wu completely extinguished the fire in the stove. The light from the moon outside allowed her to see the situation clearly. She carried the warm water she had just scooped out, walked around Gu Zhou and went to the yard.

Gu Zhou freed one hand to pick up the oil lamp and blew it out, then followed her into the yard.

"My little sister has washed up and gone to sleep, but my little brother is still energetic. I'll take him for a walk and let him sleep later."
