A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Chapter 154 Digging Bamboo Shoots and Catching Fish

Aunt He came over and wanted to say something, but Gu Zhou learned Shen Wu's trick and took the lead in explaining: "Aunt, we are not going to dig the soil anymore."

Aunt He obviously didn't believe them. Her tanned face didn't show any sign of believing him.

"Hey, auntie, please help watch the door at home for a while. Gu Zhou and I have to go out for a while." Ever since Shen Wu traveled through ancient times, this shameless nature has been forced out from the bottom of his heart.

"Aren't you going out? Why are you going out again?" Aunt He knew that the two of them had not given up!

Just as she was about to give some earnest advice, she heard Jiang Yu smiling and saying, "Aunt, we are not going to dig this time. We have to go to the river to wash some vegetables. I can't do it alone, so I have to ask Gu Zhou to come with me. I feel at ease knowing you are at home. Can you please watch the door? We will go to the fields to check on the situation."

She shamelessly went over and discussed things with Aunt He in a nice tone. This aunt had a good personality and would respond softly rather than harshly. She was very much like her younger aunt in personality. After getting to know her over the past few days, she liked this aunt more and more.

"Really?" Aunt He glanced at her sideways. Seeing her smiling so heartlessly, she still found it hard to believe.

"Xiao Gu, you won't follow her to deceive me, right?" Aunt He looked at Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou nodded, as if confirming Jiang Yu's words, with no strange expression on his face: "It's also our fault that we forgot to tell Auntie. When we came back earlier, we said we wanted to go to the fields to take a look. Fortunately, Auntie came home today to help look after me, otherwise this job would have to be done tomorrow."

"Okay, then you go early and come back early, don't worry about home, Xiaowei and I will help look after you for a while." Aunt He glanced at the two children. The one who used to have a sullen face now smiles at people every day, and the one who used to have a tense face now looks much better, although not more tense.

"Hehe, thank you for your help, auntie! Gu Zhou and I will be back soon." Shen Wu knocked the mouth of the soil-carrying basket downwards and took out all the soil inside before carrying it on his back.

Gu Zhou actually didn’t expect that she would go out again, but since she said so, he still took the hoe as usual.

Shen Wu took out the machete he had placed there from the firewood pile and held it in his hand, and the two of them walked out one after the other.

Aunt He sighed helplessly. Looking at the backs of the two children walking out, she vaguely discovered that the originally thin Gu Zhou seemed to be stronger and taller than before.

Thinking of Jiang Yu's cooking skills, the change in Gu Zhou's body shape finally had a source.

"Where are we going?" Gu Zhou waited until they had walked a long way before he dared to speak.

Shen Wu glanced behind him secretly, and there was no one at the entrance of the yard!

She changed her posture to be side by side with Gu Zhou and whispered, "Let's go dig some more autumn bamboo shoots and then go to the lake to catch fish!"

Gu Zhou actually remembered that she had mentioned going fishing before, but when he saw that she didn't mention it, he didn't mention it either, thinking of letting her take a rest. He didn't expect that she would still go.

"Okay, let's go dig bamboo shoots first."

The two of them quickly found the forest where they had dug bamboo shoots before. The bamboo shoots they had peeled earlier were still lying limp on the ground.

They went looking for them separately, giving priority to the big bamboo shoots. There were more big bamboo shoots after the rain, and they grew rapidly every day. What else could they eat if not these?

Gu Zhou took a hoe and started digging around. He put the dug bamboo shoots neatly in a pile.

Shen Wu took the machete and dug the soil, the blade digging the soil and the blade chopped down the bamboo shoots.

She piled the dug bamboo shoots upside down into a small pile, and only stopped and started peeling them after she had dug up a large piece of bamboo shoots.

"Don't dig yet! Let's peel what we get first!" Shen Wu stood up and walked towards Gu Zhou. Seeing Gu Zhou's vague figure in the bamboo forest, he shouted loudly.

"Okay!" Gu Zhou was just about to peel the skin, but stopped after digging out the last bamboo shoot.

"I'll make the cut, and we'll skin it together later."

Shen Wu half ran and half walked over, holding a machete and started cutting the bamboo shoots.

Having dug more bamboo shoots these days, her skill in peeling them has become more and more proficient. She would place the tip of the knife on the bamboo shoot and slide it downwards with a little force, and a line would appear on the skin. Gu Zhou would follow behind her and peel the bamboo shoots, throwing them into the backpack she was carrying.

The two of them worked like an assembly line, and in a short while they had peeled all the bamboo shoots that Gu Zhou had dug and put them in a backpack.

"You need so much... are you going to make bamboo shoot buns?" Gu Zhou and she carried the backpack and carefully headed towards the point closest to the way they came.

After putting the full basket on the ground, the two of them went to another pile.

"No, let's not make shredded bamboo shoots for now. To be honest, I think our family has enough money for the winter. Let's prepare some more bamboo shoots for the winter. We don't have to worry about having too much. We can either leave them there or make them into bamboo shoot buns and sell them."

Shen Wu cut the bamboo shoot skin one by one with a serious look on his face.

Gu Zhou glanced at it and didn't ask any more questions. The money from selling buns could not only last for one winter, but also for the winters of the next few years!

The two backpacks full of bamboo shoots were quite heavy, but Shen Wu didn't want to make a second trip as it was troublesome to go back and forth. But he was afraid that Gu Zhou would get tired, so he carefully asked him if he felt it was heavy and whether he wanted to rest.

Gu Zhou worked all year round and this amount of weight was not heavy for him at all. He even took the bamboo shoots from her basket and put them in his own basket while she was walking in front of him.

Shen Wu was so tired that he finally arrived at the lake where he caught fish. The two of them quickly took off their backpacks and sat by the lake to rest.

Gu Zhou was not tired, he rolled up his trouser legs and went into the water to feel around.

Everyone in the village knows about this lake, but the boy rarely comes and it is far from the fields, so he seldom comes unless he is fishing.

The villagers are not good at cooking fish, and they only eat fish when they are craving for something to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, the fish in this lake are dumber than those in other places, so they are easier to catch.

Gu Zhou had followed his father to the lake and had learned fishing techniques for many years. His proficiency was much better than Shen Wu's. He caught a fish within a few minutes of being in the water and pulled it to the shore.

"Wow... so amazing!" Shen Wu's eyes were almost starry! This kid can even catch fish! His movements were neat and clean, and he was quick, accurate and ruthless!

Woohoo, this is simply God’s chosen cub!

Yes, that's right... Shen Wu felt like she was about to become a mother with an explosion of maternal love! Seeing Gu Zhou catch fish was like discovering that her own child could catch fish!

What kind of game is she playing in modern times to raise a son or a daughter? This thing is more fun than the game!

While she was taking a break and immersed in Gu Zhou's amazing fishing skills, Gu Zhou had already caught four or five fish and placed them on the shore.

Shen Wu, who had come to her senses, was like a proud hen, her face filled with the beauty of her son. She rolled up her trouser legs and went down to catch it with him.

"Do you want more?" Gu Zhou originally wanted to stop her from going into the water.

"Yeah!" Shen Wu looked at Gu Zhou with a loving smile on her face. "Let's catch more. It's okay if we can't bring them back. When we get to the water, we'll wash them and then go back and bake them into dried fish. Dried fish can be used for a long time. If that doesn't work, we can make them into pickled fish. Then we can dry them in the sun. When it snows in winter, we can stir-fry them with oil and add dried bamboo shoots to make them a delicious meal!"

Shen Wu's mouth was watering as she spoke! She once bought dried fish and bamboo shoots in modern times and cooked them to eat. The taste was simply amazing! It was just because it was made by farmers, it was more expensive. If she didn't live in the Central Plains without mountains and rivers, she would have wanted to dry and stockpile dried fish and bamboo shoots herself!
