A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

"Don't worry, I'll be here quickly. You can go back first. You are still sick, so you need to go back and lie down to rest. Also, have you eaten the rice in the pot?"

Shen Wu coaxed the child in a gentle voice, just like he coaxed his disobedient brother.

"No, I just woke up when my aunt came."

Gu Zhou knew that he had done something wrong, so he lowered his voice to an almost inaudible level and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Gu Zhou was obviously a child, and his condition after falling ill made Shen Wu realize that he was different.

Shen Wu thought of his modern brother. Because his family favored boys over girls, he had never gotten along with his brother like this. Going back to ancient times, he found such a well-behaved brother for free, which made up for his regret.

"Then...I'll go back."

Gu Zhou stood up to leave, but because he was weak due to illness, the moment he stood up, his vision went dark and his legs went weak, and he was about to fall down.

Shen Wu quickly caught the person and said, "I'll take you back. How come you are so weak?"

Shen Wu could see that the little boy was afraid of being lectured, but it was impossible for him to go back in this state.

Gu Zhou wanted to walk by himself and tried hard to break free, but he was too weak.

No matter how hard he tried, there was no effect, so he had no choice but to follow Jiang Yu.

Just as Shen Wu helped the person back, he saw his aunt coming in from outside holding a large bowl.

The aunt who came in was afraid that the medicine in her hand would spill out of her anxiety, so she stared at the bowl in her hand without blinking.

"Gu kid, you'll be fine after taking the medicine!"

As soon as Aunt He entered the room, she saw Shen Wu at home. She had no time to pay attention to her, so she hurried into the house to give medicine to Gu boy: "Here, take this bowl of medicine and have a good sleep, and you will be fine."

Gu Zhou had just come back from outside and sat down. Fortunately, Jiang Yu helped him back, otherwise he would not be able to walk in time.

If my aunt finds out, she will definitely give me another round of instructions.

"Thank you, Auntie. Please help me make the medicine."

Gu Zhou took the bowl, ignored the bitter taste of the Chinese medicine, and finished it in one breath.

"That's good, that's good, just take the medicine and take a rest."

Aunt He smiled at Gu Zhou with relief. This child had made him suffer.

"Um? Should I take the wheat home or what?"

Shen Wu thought that since he was back anyway, he heated up some rice and brought some to Gu Zhou.

"Just bring the wheat back and thresh it in the yard later."

Shen Wu put the bowl on the table and asked him: "Would you like some porridge or a bun? Gu Wei has already eaten."

Aunt He stood by and said in an unhappy voice: "You just took the medicine, you have to wait a while before taking it again."

"Auntie, you've worked hard. Come and try some buns."

Gu Zhou was not hungry at the moment. He had just finished drinking the medicine and his mouth tasted very bitter. His stomach also felt like nothing was coming to him.

"No, no, no, I'm not hungry. I still have to ask your uncle to go to the fields to harvest wheat."

Aunt He quickly refused.

Shen Wu said: "Don't bother, Auntie. I have only half of the crops left in the field. I will be able to bring them back after a while."

"you?".

Aunt He looked confused and obviously didn't believe it.

My aunt didn't believe me, so she waited until I finished working in the fields and brought back the wheat, and then she would come and see for herself.

"If we have that much time, Lao Li and I can get the job done."

Aunt He obviously didn't want to say anything more to Jiang Yu, so she said, "Auntie's leaving first, kid Gu, you take a rest," and then turned around and left the house.

Shen Wu smiled awkwardly, "I'll put the food here for you. You can eat it when you are hungry. I'll go to the fields first, and then I'll carry the wheat back after I finish harvesting those pieces of wheat."

~~~~

Shen Wu arrived at the field and continued working on the area that had not been tied up before. After finishing the second piece, he went straight to the third piece of land.

Harvesting wheat is an inertial action. The more you do it, the faster you will find the most labor-saving method.

The third piece of land was harvested quickly, and Shen Wu moved straight to the fourth piece.

Fortunately, crops were sparse in ancient times, so not much grew in the fifth piece.

After a while, only a piece of land was left.

"Jiang Yu! You..."

Aunt He and her husband Li looked at the girl working in the field in surprise. She moved skillfully and in a few quick cuts she cut the only remaining wheat and put it away.

"Ah? Why is Auntie here? I can do it on my own."

Shen Wu thought that her aunt had listened to what she and Gu Zhou said and would not come, but she didn't expect that she still came to help in the fields.

Old Li asked in confusion: "Yuwazi, this is all your fault."

Shen Wu nodded obediently: "Yeah."

Old Li was shocked. How come the child became such a different person after falling down? He even did the farm work and did it so well?

"You kid... you're... you're good!"

In shock, Old Li could only say "OK", like a person who could only cheer.

~~~~

It was already noon when we carried all the wheat back.

After moving things several times and with help from others, Shen Wu only had to make seven or eight trips to finish everything.

After washing the wheat spikes off his arms, Shen Wu went to look at Gu Zhou who had taken the medicine and fallen asleep.

I tentatively felt the temperature on his forehead and found it was no different from normal. The sun was scorching outside so I didn't put on any thin clothes for him and just opened the wooden door slightly for ventilation.

Aunt He had been helping to look after the Gu family's youngest child at home, and now she was holding the baby in her arms as she fetched something in her yard.

Although Gu Wei was young, Aunt He asked her to follow, leaving Gu Zhou to get some sleep at home.

Shen Wu thought about it and decided to go to the mountain behind the courtyard to pick some fresh vegetables to cook a meal.

I turned around and went to the back mountain, looking at the same scenery as that day. As usual, I found a wooden stick to clear the way, but this time I didn't need to break it off because there was one on the side of the road that could be used.

While entering the mountain from the same place as last time, I found the same bamboo forest again.

Some of the bamboos had grown into larger bamboo shoots, so Shen Wu found a semi-earth slope with bamboo shoot tips and used the slope to dig.

The soil pushed up by the bamboo shoots was relatively loose, and a hole was dug after a few digs with the wooden stick.

There were plump and cute young bamboo shoots inside. Shen Wu threw away the wooden stick and dug them out with his hands.

This body is not like her modern one, which seems a little spoiled and becomes powerless after a few tries.

Only then did Shen Wu react. He thought that he had probably exerted too much force when cutting the wheat, and his body was protesting.

We should also be thankful that this tender bamboo shoot is a new one, so it is easy to dig out. It doesn't take much effort and I can easily pull it out of the soil.

Shen Wu dug two more in the same way before stopping. The braised bamboo shoots in oil was now a dish.

This time she walked further and discovered a lake in the back mountain, which was not small.

When we went down to take a look, we saw that the lake water was clear and people standing on the shore could see the fish swimming in the water.

Shen Wu thought about whether he could catch one and take it back to give to Gu Zhou as a supplement, so he would try it for a short while and forget it if it didn't work.

Without any tools, Shen Wu was ready to grab the fish as it came. Although he had handled fish before, when this creature swam past his ankles, Shen Wu was so scared that his hands were shaking.
