A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

After lunch, Shen Wu and Gu Zhou asked Gu Wei to rest at home, and said goodbye to Aunt He before following Gu Zhou to work.

Aunt He originally wanted to stop them, but Shen Wu said that he was going to check on the fields and would be back soon, so she didn't stop them and let the two children go.

"Let's go." Gu Zhou, carrying a backpack and holding a hoe in his hand, walked out the door first.

Shen Wu was a little hesitant while carrying the backpack. Can this basket carry soil?

Gu Zhou seemed to see through her doubts, and walked a short distance away to explain in a low voice: "We used to carry soil in this basket before, and it doesn't need to be completely filled. You can only carry half a basket at most. If you carry more, you definitely can't carry it."

"Too"

The two of them went out at noon to avoid people, for fear of meeting people in the village and being discovered that they had gone to the back mountain alone. Every time they cut bamboo and brought back bamboo shoots, they felt like thieves.

But she forgot that the bamboo shoots steamed buns she made for Uncle Li and Uncle Li San were also eaten by her aunt, so she naturally knew about it. Originally, she was watching them to prevent any accidents, but later she couldn't follow them all the time. Seeing that the two of them went out together every time, she pretended not to know.

The bamboo forest was not far from the Gu family, so the few elders who knew about it turned a blind eye.

The place where the yellow mud was dug was very close to the lake where Shen Wu caught fish. The road that Gu Zhou led her to catch fish was also the one she took. Seeing the lake surface gleaming silver behind the weeds, Shen Wu made a suggestion: "Why don't we catch some fish on the way back? The fish we caught last time didn't have many bones. Why don't I cut some fish meat and make some soup?"

Gu Zhou paused for a moment as he used the hoe to push aside the grass, thinking about his fishing skills. However, she could still try if she needed to. "Okay."

He went on to say, "It will take us several trips to dig the yellow mud. We can wait until the last trip to catch some. Don't you need Nanzhu to dye cloth? Let's pick more and take them back later."

"I almost forgot this." Shen Wu smiled embarrassedly.

"If we have enough time, I would cut a few old bamboos and bring them home to dry for a few days before cutting them into pieces."

Gu Zhou also agreed with her idea, nodded and stood still: "We're here."

"Is it here?" Shen Wu looked at the dug hole, squatted down and grabbed a handful of the half-dry soil on it.

It really looks like what I made when I was cooking at home.

"Then let's get started. We can't do too much so don't dig too much. We can do it a few times. The first things to be dug back are the drying mud slabs and solidified ground."

Gu Zhou nodded, picked up the hoe and started digging.

Shen Wu wanted to help but had no tools to use, and then she remembered the use of a shovel. However, she did not dare to take the risk. After all, this thing was too useful and was a multifunctional and versatile tool.

She was not idle either. She wandered around the area where she could see Gu Zhou, looking for any wild vegetables that could be used or eaten.

After wandering around for a while, she actually discovered some wild yams. She had actually never seen this before. Her home is in the Central Plains, where most of the crops grown are wheat, corn, rapeseed, sesame or sweet potatoes. She heard about yams from an auntie who was traveling with her when she went to the mountains.

In order to save trouble, she signed up for a senior tour group and followed a group of uncles and aunts to a farm house to climb the mountain.

Because she was easy to talk to and worked hard, many uncles and aunts in the group liked her very much and gave her a lot of wild vegetables they dug up.

She took the food home and cooked it into soup or porridge. It was really delicious, soft and sticky. After eating it once, I couldn't get enough of the taste.

She also has to thank those uncles and aunts who taught her about many wild vegetables during the few days of traveling. She originally thought they were useless, but who knew they would be so useful after traveling through time.

She wandered around aimlessly, not planning to cut some bamboo to carry back. They had to carry some loess back first, and bamboo would be fine sooner or later.

While Gu Zhou was digging the soil, she began to search for plants that could be used nearby.

There happened to be a dry tree trunk nearby, with a bunch of wood ear mushrooms on it, which made Shen Wu drool. She couldn't wait to say hello to Gu Zhou and started to pick some wood ear mushrooms.

She made clothes every day and forgot to sew a small bag for herself to carry, so that it would be convenient to put some things she picked up in it.

Shen Wu picked them up and grabbed the hem of his clothes with one hand and threw them in. It seemed that he would have to split some bamboo to make a small basket to carry with him.

Cloth is not suitable for these things, so a bamboo basket is needed.

After picking the fungus, she returned to the place where Gu Zhou was digging the soil. Seeing that he had already dug out a lot of soil and put it into his backpack, she hurriedly put the fungus in her bag into the grass on the side and went to help.

"No need. If you want to find something, go look nearby. You don't need my help." Gu Zhou took the backpack filled with soil and used the arm that was slightly less dirty to refuse her approach.

This job was too dirty, and Gu Zhou didn't want her to do it. Besides, they had been busy selling buns together all morning, so it was a good time for her to take a break.

"I'm fine, let me give you a hand, it's faster this way." Shen Wu didn't notice that the child was considerate of her, and she was still determined to help.

Gu Zhou couldn't persuade her, but he still didn't let her touch the soil. He just helped her carry the soil.

"There's nothing I can help you with for now. If you're tired, go and take a rest over there." Gu Zhou said this sincerely.

Shen Wu originally thought that the child thought she was in the way, but seeing him like this, she almost guessed what he meant. How could the two of them get along if they continued to argue, so she just went along with the child's considerate wishes.

"Okay, I'll come help you after you finish digging. I'll go pick some southern candles and other things to use for dyeing. I'll come back to help you later."

Gu Zhou nodded, watched her start to tie her skirt and prepare to pick something, then turned around and started digging the soil.

Shen Wu had already taken a rough look around and first went to look for the Nanzhu tree. Perhaps because it was autumn, there were not many Nanzhu fruits left on some trees, so she picked some and threw them into the bag made of her clothes.

There happened to be some pretty nice leaves on the tree nearby, and thinking that it was autumn, Shen Wu recalled what he had done in modern times, and hurriedly plucked them all, collecting all the pretty leaves.

After picking the things needed to dye the cloth, Shen Wu took a quick look around the area and when he saw there was nothing else to do, he went back to Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou was filling the last backpack, and Shen Wu hurried over to help. If she hesitated a little longer, she thought the child would finish the work by himself!

Shen Wu complained in her heart that her elder sister Shen Wu was not as good at working as a kid, and she wished she could carry the basket in Gu Zhou's hand on her back.

Unfortunately, she couldn't carry both of them, so she had to carry one on her back and walk home.
