A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu stayed up for half the night last night. With the tiny light from the oil lamp, he cut out some of the remaining cloth and made a few pairs of trousers with inner pockets.

She is a skilled worker and has been cutting and tailoring cloth for many years. Sometimes she buys the cloth herself and makes coats for the New Year.

Fortunately, the pants were easy to make. She had drawn the pattern a few days ago, and just cut it out and sewed it together last night.

She made these pants with the idea that they could be worn inside or outside. She didn't make pockets at first because she was afraid that they would be seen by others. It would be bad if they got out and she was exposed.

The Chinese-style top was actually more eye-catching, but because it was dyed black and worn underneath, no one could notice it.

The trousers themselves already existed in this dynasty, but they were looser and less convenient, and the lacing part was a bit awkward and troublesome. Shen Wu changed them to drawstring ones as early as the first version of the trousers.

This is interesting to say. At that time, there was not enough fabric for the waist, so she used the leftover fabric to piece it together. Unexpectedly, she made a drawstring without any rough edges, so she didn't have to worry about severe wear and tear when wearing it.

The trousers for two adults and one child were sewn and thrown into the basket, with only three drawstrings left to sew. She thought she would wait until she finished working in the fields tomorrow afternoon before doing so.

Looking at the dark room, Shen Wu yawned. He said he had been up for half the night but in fact, Shen Wu was not sensitive to time.

I started working at around eight o'clock in the evening and didn't go to bed until around two o'clock. I woke up to the sound of the door bolt outside. It was around three o'clock.

She often woke up at this time to do work, and gradually got used to the brightness. She found the fire starter on the table and blew it up, then Shen Wu lit the oil lamp.

She stood up casually, dragging her shoes, and took the oil lamp to illuminate. When she opened the door, she saw the flickering light of fire in the kitchen and the faint silhouette of a person.

Shen Wu walked over quickly and saw that it was indeed Gu Zhou who was busy.

Seeing her coming over, Gu Zhou greeted her: "Want to sleep a little longer?"

"Forget it." Shen Wu yawned, put the oil lamp on the broken table, and reached out to get water to wash his face.

The water, which had been left overnight, was a little icy, and it stung her so much that she suddenly lost her sleepiness.

Although she has more than ten years of experience in staying up late in modern times, she really couldn't sleep at that time. She stayed up every day reading novels, cartoons and TV series. Coupled with anxiety, it was common for her to stay up all night.

In fact, she was quite fortunate to be able to travel back to ancient times.

Every day I have work that I am willing to do, my life is fulfilling, and I no longer have to face family pressure to get married, or get scolded and quarreled with every day. I feel a lot more relaxed.

Although she tried her best to ignore the risk of being killed at any time and Gu Zhou reporting her, it was much better than her life in modern times.

And from what she had seen these days, she found that their family was really a good one and they would definitely not expose their abnormality to others. She just needed to not expose it herself.

Stopping his thoughts, Shen Wu walked to the chopping board and watched him knead the dough. The shepherd's purse on the table had already been mixed and placed aside. It was obvious that Gu Zhou had learned how to prepare the stuffing from helping him these days.

Shen Wu was very happy, imagining that when he had money in the future, he could hire someone to cook for him and he could just lie in bed and have a good rest every day.

"Isn't there enough shepherd's purse? There's too much noodles," Gu Zhou tactfully reminded her that there was a whole bowl of noodles.

Shen Wu was very happy and lifted the lid of the basin on the side to see the noodles.

There was an obvious gap in the dug-up fault. She reached out and poked it and found it was extremely soft, which met her requirements.

"Today when you go to the uncle's house to buy tofu, I will go with you. Let's buy two boards today. It's okay if there are not enough vegetables. I will add some tofu filling."

Gu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then realized that she already had a solution, but she just didn't know how the tofu filling would taste like. He had never seen her make it before, so he wasn't sure how it would taste.

"Okay, wait until I finish kneading the dough and rolling out the pancakes before we go. If you go too early, the tofu won't be pressed out yet and you'll have to wait."

Shen Wu also helped. As usual, she pinched out the dough using the amount that would overflow from her fist. She sprinkled a little powder on it to prevent it from sticking, flattened it, and passed it to Gu Zhou to roll into a pancake.

The two of them worked quickly and soon turned half of the dough into pancakes. Shen Wu would spread it out wherever possible, or sprinkle more flour on it to prevent it from sticking.

"Almost done," Gu Zhou patted the flour on his hands.

He saw that it was not as dark outside as before, so he hurried to wash his hands.

The two of them hurriedly washed their hands in a basin of water, dried them casually, and walked out carrying the backpacks.

After closing the courtyard gate, Shen Wu followed Gu Zhou to Uncle Li's house. Their house was the only one in the village that didn't live that close. There was a field on the way to Uncle Li's house. Shen Wu was very happy and walked with a brisk pace.

"Don't get up so early next time. You did so much work yesterday, why don't you take a rest? Just wait for me to do it."

Gu Zhou shook his head, feeling warm in his heart: "It's okay, this job is still easy."

He gets up at noon to make and sell buns, comes back at noon, takes a break after eating, and then does various chores. To be honest, the copper coins he earns are much more than what his family earned in more than a year of hard work.

Farm work is really tiring, but he was young and could easily take a break. I still remember the wheat harvest a few years ago. My father was seriously ill, and my mother brought my younger sister and unborn brother to the fields to help. He stopped them from going to the fields and only asked them to help bundle some wheat.

He harvested the wheat by himself during those days. Being tired was not the main issue, but his mother always wanted to help him.

Thinking of this, he glanced at her enthusiastically without leaving a trace. He was sick during the harvest this year, and she was the only one who harvested all the wheat by herself, tied it up, and carried it back home with Uncle Li.

Later, they pulled the bed sheets to dry the wheat and husk it. It was all done by one person.

"We're here!" Shen Wu patted Gu Zhou's shoulder excitedly. She had already smelled the fragrance of tofu in the air. Besides, she took the bus here to go to town every day, so she was already familiar with the road.

Gu Zhou collected his thoughts and walked through the door with his men. He greeted the two uncles who were pressing tofu: "Good morning, uncle and third uncle. I'm here to buy two plates of tofu."

"You came just in time, kid. I just got two slabs of stone." After saying that, he was stunned and turned around to ask, "Why did you buy two slabs today? Can you sell them all?"

Seeing Jiang Yu on the side, he wiped his hands on his apron and walked over and said, "Yu Wa is here too!"

Shen Wu nodded, her eyes full of excitement for the entire courtyard. She had only seen the old-fashioned tofu shop on TV, and she never expected to see it in person one day. She was so excited that she couldn't express it in words: "Third Master, can I take a look around?"

Uncle Li nodded, seeing the kid's interest: "Go ahead, but be careful of the hot soy milk, remember to stay away from it so you don't get burned."

Shen Wu also got the same idea and started to move around. Tofu made from natural and pollution-free beans! It was made using the traditional method without any additives. The fragrance was so good!

She was also selling things and knew that hygiene was important, so she didn't go forward to take a closer look. Instead, she stretched her head to check from several steps away.

Grandpa Li cut the tofu he asked for the two children into smaller pieces, fearing that the backpack wouldn't be able to hold the entire piece. But Jiang Yu also had a backpack, so small pieces would surely be no problem.

Seeing that they were loading tofu, Shen Wu hurried over to take down the backpack. He then pressed down the steaming tofu, which made a loud creaking sound and would start to move at the slightest external force.

After filling both backpacks, the two uncles said goodbye to each other.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Zhou and Shen Wu drove home at double speed.
