A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu didn’t eat much, so after washing the pots and bowls, he started to prepare the wheat.

The tools she got yesterday worked very well. She started threshing the wheat while the sun was out.

The wheat seemed to be small and the work seemed easy, but it was very tiring after a while. After a while, she had no strength left and had to stop to catch her breath.

The weather has been very good in the past two days, and the wheat stalks were dried very well. When she took the photo just now, many wheat grains fell off the stalks and fell to the bottom.

Shen Wu took a picture of the entire wheat stalk and picked one at random. There were not many grains left on the wheat stalks, some of which were only a few sparsely spaced.

Gu Zhou felt that he had digested the thought a little bit. He heard the sound of threshing outside. He asked his younger sister to hold his younger brother first, and he went out to see if he could help. "Do you need any help?"

Gu Zhou came when Shen Wu was turning the wheat with his head down. Shen Wu was a little speechless. How could this child be so quiet as a ghost?

"No, no, I can do it by myself. If you want to move, see if there is anything you can do at home."

Shen Wu would definitely not let him interfere, not to mention that he just happened to be involved in this matter. She had finally found something fun that she could do herself, so she would definitely do it first.

Gu Zhou saw that she was working passionately, then turned around to look at home, remembered something, and turned back.

She started from the edge and turned the wheat inwards, threshing one part and then continuing to turn it inwards.

She was very patient when she started working again, and she didn't stop until she finished the whole process from beginning to end.

While she was working, Gu Zhou was sneaking past her. Shen Wu thought he was going to do something, but then she saw him holding a wooden basin and clothes.

"You want to wash clothes?" Shen Wu was panting heavily and sweating profusely.

"Um"

Gu Zhou looked a little weird, and was timid about washing clothes. Shen Wu couldn't understand why.

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it and continue with your work and finish it.

Gu Zhou carried his clothes and his brother's diapers to the river, found a decent place and started washing them.

Shen Wu had already taken two photos. She asked her younger sister for a cloth bag at home, took the bag and started rubbing the wheat grains into it.

The wheat husks were still very prickly, so she had to take them off the stalks first and then come back to deal with the wheat grains.

The sun above was getting hotter and hotter. After Shen Wu patted the stalks for the fourth time, it was almost difficult to find any wheat grains on the stalks. She rubbed the last bit on the cloth and patted it one last time before all the wheat stalks were cleared from the cloth.

Clean the cloth to remove any sand or stones. After laying it out, press the four corners with stones and then pour the wheat back on top of the cloth.

There wasn't much wheat, so Shen Wu used some bamboo to spread it out to let the sun shine on it, then went back to check on the baby.

She washed her hands and went into the house. Gu Wei was playing with him. She had never raised a child before. Thinking that she would definitely have to do business to make some money, Shen Wu decided to start early and hire someone to raise the child when she had money.

It’s not that she didn’t want to raise a child, it’s just that she had never raised such a young child before. The youngest was no more than six or seven years old. She had never taken care of a child as young as this one.

Thinking of this, she felt motivated, and immediately got up and went back to work on the wheat, thinking that she could make this thing and sell it for money!!!

There was a very prickly shell on the outside of the wheat, and there was no mill here, so she could only use a wooden shovel to shovel and winnow the wheat. It was said that the wooden shovel was completely different from the modern ones. This wooden shovel was much smaller and heavier. It was already noon when she finally finished winnowing the wheat.

Even if I put all the wheat in, there would only be half a bag, and I don’t know how much it can be sold for.

After finishing all this, Shen Wu sat down on the ground to rest, looking completely carefree.

She quite likes the busy life in ancient times. In modern times, she is exhausted from having to go to work and deal with all kinds of people every day. She could never dream of such a life of working every day.

"Jiang Yu, why are you sitting on the ground?" Aunt He and Gu Zhou came up from the slope and saw Jiang Yu sitting at the gate, panting. "You're working on the wheat in the middle of the day?"

"Yeah." Shen Wu took a few breaths back and felt that he could breathe evenly. He stood up from the ground, holding the wheat bag and brushing off the wheat husks on his body.

"Have you finished it all by yourself?" Aunt He stepped forward and rubbed the wheat grains in the bag.

There wasn't much shelling, but it was pretty dry.

Gu Zhou went back to put the clothes together first. There were some diapers for his younger brother and coats for his younger sister, so he had to put them together quickly.

Aunt He said as soon as she came up, "I wanted to come with your Uncle Li to help, but Yan'er had something urgent to do, so she left that night when the wheat was harvested. She rushed back as soon as the work was done, and wanted to help, but you had already finished it."

"Yan'er?" Shen Wu repeated the name in her words in confusion.

Aunt He forgot that she didn't remember, and hurriedly explained: "I forgot that you didn't remember. Yan'er is my eldest daughter Xinyan. She married to Yujia Village a few years ago. It was her place that I rushed to."

“So that’s how it is”

Shen Wu thought about going to town tomorrow and the child being home alone, so she asked tentatively, "Um... Auntie, I wonder if you are free tomorrow. Gu Zhou and I want to sell this half bag of wheat. I am worried about my younger brother and sister being home alone, so I wonder if you have time to help look after them for a while."

"Yes, yes. It's just a small matter. Just leave your little sister and brother to me tomorrow." Aunt He must be free. Her daughter had an accident a few days ago. The medicine she took yesterday stabilized both the child and the adult.

"You don't have to go to Sister Yan'er anymore?" Shen Wu said this because she was afraid that Aunt He would not be able to refuse her.

"No, no, the doctor said it was just a miscarriage. I took some medicine yesterday and it's stabilized and I'm fine now."

"How many months?" I didn't expect Aunt He's daughter to be pregnant.

"Six months," Aunt He said as she spoke of her daughter, unable to suppress the joy on her face.

After lunch, Shen Wu told Gu Zhou that Aunt He could help look after his younger brother and sister tomorrow. Gu Zhou nodded and said nothing.

Gu Wei took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Will I be at my aunt's house with my brother tomorrow?"

Shen Wu touched her head and said, "Your brother and I are going out to sell wheat tomorrow. You and your brother should stay at my house. We will come back to pick you up."

Gu Wei didn't expect her to reach out and touch her head, so she stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

Shen Wu looked at the child's hair and suddenly wanted to do something.

"Is my little brother asleep?"

Gu Wei wondered why she asked this, but answered honestly: "I'm asleep."

After hearing the answer that the child was asleep, Shen Wu tilted his head and looked at Gu Wei with a malicious smile: "Let me wash your hair."

It was exactly three or four o'clock now. Although the sun was a little off, it was still high in the sky. After washing your hair, you could stay in the sun for a while and it would dry.

Gu Wei resisted fiercely, so Shen Wu threatened her that if she didn't wash her hair, big bugs would crawl on her head.

Children are young and easy to deceive. Even Gu Zhou next to her was fooled by her and went to wash his hair as well.

After washing their hair, Shen Wu asked the two to sit in the sun to dry their hair, and then he also washed his own hair thoroughly.

Gu Wei's hair dried quickly after washing, so Shen Wu tied a pigtail at the back of her hair so that even if she washed it less often, it wouldn't get dirty so quickly.

When it was Gu Zhou's turn to not let her touch his hair, her identity as an elder sister was useless and she could only give up.
