It's funny to say, although the tools were easy to use, she completely forgot that her body was not modern. After beating the wheat with great intensity, she felt a little dizzy as soon as she stood up.

Gu Zhou was tricked by her into going to the kitchen to heat up some food, and no one saw her miserable state. Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise her dignity as the eldest sister would have been ruined.

Shen Wu sat on the wooden stool and rested for a long time before he recovered. The sun was about to set.

On the other side of the sky, the orange-red sunset touched the dark earth along with the deep yellow sun. Shen Wu looked at the dark green woods, felt the warm breeze, and his heart suddenly became very quiet.

At first, she was very scared when she first arrived in this world. On the surface, she actively integrated into this place, but deep down she was deeply terrified. But she didn't dare to show a trace of panic, and she lied to herself that it was just a daydream she had when she was young and it had come true to fill her panic.

She didn’t know how difficult life was in ancient times..., but she knew how difficult it was to survive in ancient times.

She comes from the modern era, that is, she has gone to school for more than ten years and worked for three or four years. The hardships of life in ancient times and the beauty and openness of modern life are far from comparable.

She was very afraid that she would never be able to go back. Although she didn't have many friends nowadays, her relationship with her parents was not that good, and she had a lot of troubles at work, that was where she was born and lived.

"Jiang Yu, it's time to eat..."

Gu Zhou's voice came from the yard. Shen Wu smiled towards the sunlight, tears in her eyes, looking at the setting sun. If she could not go back, then she would live her life seriously, just like she had deceived herself at the beginning, just as if the daydream of her youth had come true. She was here to experience life, and maybe one day she would be able to return home, to the place that had accompanied her for the first half of her life.

"Jiang Yu?!?..."

Gu Zhou called out for her but didn't hear any response, so he thought she had gone out again. He was about to go out to look for her with the bowl in his hand, when he saw Jiang Yu smiling happily at the sunset beside the golden wheat. She seemed to have thought of something, and she was clearly laughing happily out loud, but he always felt that there was an emotion in her laughter that he couldn't understand.

After hearing his words, Shen Wu did not reply immediately. After letting go of the panic in her heart, she wiped away her tears and stood up to go back to the house. When she saw Gu Zhou at the gate of the courtyard, she was slightly stunned.

Shen Wu pretended to be fine and asked Gu Zhou with a smile: "Why did you bring the bowl out? Are you worried that I won't have time to go back and eat?"

Gu Zhou saw her red eyes and her eyes that were especially moist and bright after being stained with tears. She didn't say anything and he didn't ask.

He just imitated Shen Wu and answered with a smile: "No, I thought you went out again because you didn't move."

It was the first time that Shen Wu saw Gu Zhou smile. She was a little surprised, and her eyes seemed to widen a little in surprise. She walked around Gu Zhou, washed her hands, took the bowl and said, "Let's go and eat."

After dinner, Gu Zhou covered his younger sister and brother with thin quilts and returned to the yard.

"Are you all asleep?"

"Everyone is asleep."

After Shen Wu made sure that both children at home were asleep, he asked Gu Zhou to sit down and expressed his thoughts.

"The wheat will probably be harvested the day after tomorrow. Can I go to sell it?"

Gu Zhou didn’t know what she wanted to do, but when she asked, there was no reason to refuse: "Sure."

Seeing that there was no problem, she pressed on: "Can we go to town then?"

"In town?"

Gu Zhou repeated the word in a low voice, and Shen Wu thought he couldn't go, so he spoke.

"If it doesn't work, then come back."

"It's not impossible, but you have to take a donkey cart to get to the town, and the wheat harvest place is just outside the town. If we set out early, there will be people in the village who will get there early."

Shen Wu was very happy to hear that it was possible. She was very excited at the thought of being able to see the real ancient town.

~~

In order to get up early to sell wheat tomorrow, Shen Wu got up quickly to cook before daybreak.

She prepared breakfast first for Gu Wei and the baby to eat later, and then she and Gu Zhou had to start working at full speed.

Breakfast was still very simple. There was only half a bowl of rice left at home. Shen Wu divided half of the rice and put it into the pot to make thin rice soup.

Then I started washing the wild vegetables and kneading the dough to make pancakes.

The wild vegetables are the shepherd’s purse and horseradish that we ate before. There are fresh ones in the yard, so we just pick them and use them as stuffing.

Shake off all the dirt and roots of the vegetables, wash and cut into 1 cm long pieces. Peel and wash a green onion, also cut into 1 cm long pieces and put them in a bowl.

Finally add salt, pepper, and the crispy oil residue that was fried previously.

Thinking that there was no aroma, Shen Wu lit up another stove, scooped a spoonful of lard into the pot to make it fragrant, poured the hot oil into the prepared stuffing, and after stirring evenly, he had a prepared stuffing.

After the rice soup was ready, Shen Wu quickly turned off the fire and only used the residual heat.

All that was left was to make dumplings. She originally wanted to stir-fry some vegetables and roll them up to eat, but then she thought it would be better to make pan-fried dumplings. Flour would rise slowly because there was no yeast, but when she had kneaded the dough, she placed the basin next to the stove to allow it to ferment as much as possible using the temperature.

While waiting for the fermentation, Shen Wu washed his hands and went out. It was already bright in the sky, and the morning wind was not cold, but a little warm.

Shen Wu wanted to do something, but after looking around there was nothing she could do. She thought of going back to the house to find something, but unexpectedly she saw the clothes that Gu Zhou left behind after he slept in her room that day.

In the past few days since she came to the ancient times, she hadn't washed her clothes, or even taken a bath... She didn't know what was wrong with her body, or? Her attention was occupied by other things. At this time, she realized that she was a little... smelly, and... hadn't changed her clothes.

Since she came here, she would sleep after finishing her work, and become busy again after waking up. The first thing she would do when she saw something was to get to know the situation before taking any action. Thinking that she hadn't brushed her teeth for several days, she felt a little...uncomfortable, so she quickly cupped her hands into a small bowl shape and blew into them.

I smelled it again and it really didn't smell bad.

Thinking about how dirty he had been in the past few days, Shen Wu couldn't stand it any longer. He immediately searched all the corners of the room for clothes that could be worn, took them out and washed them by the river! ! ! ! Then he found some leaves to wrap some salt and went to the river to wash! ! ! !

Just after taking the salt and clothes and leaving the house, Shen Wu bumped into Gu Zhou who had just gotten up.

Shen Wu said politely: "Good morning."

Gu Zhou also said good morning, and when he saw what she was holding, he asked curiously, "Do you want to wash clothes?"

"Hmm." Shen Wu was about to go out, but then he stepped back and asked, "What do you use to wash clothes? Soapnuts or wood ash? Or a wooden hammer?"

"Wait a moment, I have soapberries at home, I'll get them for you."

After saying that, Gu Zhou turned around and went back, fiddling with something in the house. After a while, he came out with a small bunch of dried soap beans.

Shen Wu took it and was about to leave when he thought of something else and turned back to ask him.

"Do you and Gu Wei have anything to wash? Bring it over so I can wash it together."

Gu Zhou was too embarrassed to let others wash his own, so he just said that Gu Wei had one and went into the room to get Gu Wei's.

Shen Wu took it and walked towards the river without asking any other questions.
