Shen Wu got up early the next morning. He opened the door and looked outside in a daze. It was still dark outside, probably around four or five o'clock.

She took out a tinder from her clothes and lit the oil lamp. She got up and brushed her teeth with fine salt and willow twigs, then washed her face with the stored clean water. Only then did she feel truly awake.

I greeted Gu Wei yesterday and told her that she and Gu Zhou were going to town today. I will cook some food and send her and my brother over later.

There were still some fried buns left from yesterday, so Shen Wu didn't make more. He just turned on the fire to boil water to heat up the buns.

The first rooster crowed outside and some color appeared in the sky. She had just finished heating up the fried dumplings and stopped the fire.

Gu Zhou woke up from the house and found that Shen Wu had already prepared the meal and water. He couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say, so he just started a conversation: "Will you send my younger brother and sister over later?"

Shen Wu was not sure what time they entered the town, so he asked Gu Zhou for his opinion: "What time did you all enter the town?"

Gu Zhou looked up at the sky and estimated: "Dad usually goes to this world."

"You wash up first. I'll go see what to prepare and then go to Aunt He's place."

Shen Wu went to the main room to check the wheat she was going to take away. Although the coarse cloth bag had patches on it, it was not damaged and no wheat was left out. After checking these, she went back into the house to check on the two children.

Gu Wei was about to sit up in a daze, but the youngest one was sleeping soundly.

Seeing someone about to enter the room, Gu Wei called out. The little girl was still sleepy and her words were unclear, sticky and a little cute: "Jiang Yu"

"It's me. I wanted to come see you and my little brother, but I didn't expect you just woke up."

Gu Wei tried her best to shake off the sleepiness with her eyes, hoping to wake herself up. Shen Wu went over and picked up the little girl from the bed: "Stop rubbing your eyes. If you keep rubbing them, you'll lose them."

Gu Wei didn't know whether she was frightened by the fact that she took the initiative to hug her, or that she would go blind if she rubbed her eyes. She was stunned and had no reaction as she was carried out of the main room.

The summer morning breeze was not cold, but blew around with warmth. Shen Wu was afraid of waking up her little brother and was also afraid that her eyes would get inflamed if she rubbed them for too long, so she carried her out of the house and brought her to the prepared warm water place.

Gu Zhou had just finished washing his face and was about to go into the house to get something when he was startled by Shen Wu. After she woke up... although she often behaved differently from before, she didn't have the slightest intention of harming anyone.

Shen Wu put Gu Wei on the ground, straightened her clothes and rolled up her sleeves, and said to her very seriously: "Rubbing your eyes with dirty hands will damage your eyes. Here is the warm water I prepared. Wash your hands and face and you won't feel sleepy anymore."

After she woke up, Gu Wei was no longer as resistant to her as before. She responded with a soft "OK" and squatted down to wash her hands. She had seen Shen Wu wash his hands, rubbing his hands against each other and then against each other, and then washing his face carefully.

Gu Wei washed very seriously according to the movements of Shen Wu that she remembered. Shen Wu watched from the side. She thought that since the child didn't know how to wash, she would teach her later. But who would have thought that she actually washed very seriously and correctly, not just casually.

After Gu Wei finished washing Shen Wu, she handed her a towel to wipe her face. Gu Zhou also came out of the house carrying wheat.

"Don't! You'll get tired."

Shen Wu hurried over and asked him to put down the wheat. The cloth bag was not very big, but it was very heavy for a child like Gu Zhou. He was still growing up, so it was better not to let the child handle it.

Gu Zhou obediently put down the cloth bag and said, "I'll carry it later, just take it out first."

Shen Wu had a different suggestion: "I'll carry you later, and you hold your little brother and hold your little sister's hand."

Gu Zhou definitely disagreed: "No, I will carry the wheat, you are too weak to do it."

? You actually said she couldn't do it? This little brat!! He underestimated her!! Think about how Shen Wu carried rice up the stairs, and she made all the heavy things in the house by herself. How could a small bag of wheat be difficult for her? Besides, she tried to do it yesterday when she was harvesting wheat.

Shen Wu firmly objected: "No, I'll do it. You take care of the two and the dry food. I don't know the way and you have to go ahead. If you let me hold the children, you won't be afraid that I will run away with them!"

The last sentence was of course a joke. Shen Wu would definitely have to carry this thing himself.

Gu Zhou didn't argue anymore and agreed with her opinion. He didn't argue with her.

Gu Wei didn't dare to say a word. The two of them were talking back and forth, and she didn't know what to say.

Gu Zhou was walking in front, holding his little brother who was sleeping soundly in one hand and his little sister in the other hand, carrying two small bags behind him.

Shen Wu underestimated himself a little. He gradually changed from a brisk walk to a slow walk while carrying the bag of wheat.

Fortunately, Aunt He's house was not far away, and they arrived just when Shen Wu was about to vomit from being crushed.

Shen Wu hurriedly put down the wheat on his back and was very surprised to see the donkey cart at the door.

"I'm coming!" Aunt He's door was half open. She was washing things inside. When she saw Gu Zhou, she quickly wiped her hands and stood up.

I originally wanted to help Jiang Yu, but I didn't expect that she had already unloaded her things when I stepped over the threshold. She turned sideways and took the little brother from Gu Zhou's arms: "I've been waiting for you. Your uncle Li just happened to be back today. You can take the ox cart to town." Then he lowered his head and smiled at Gu Wei: "Xiaowei, come to your aunt's house to play today."

Gu Zhou stepped forward and took out a bundle: "Aunt, there's nothing for us to thank you for. These are the vegetable buns made by Jiang Yu. Thank you for your help today."

Aunt He felt a little helpless after hearing this: "Why are your two children so polite? It's because of your neighbors that you are so unfamiliar with them."

Shen Wu quickly continued: "No, no, that aunt treats her like this. She is kind-hearted. If it were someone else, let alone helping us, I'm afraid they would not even pay attention to us. Besides, the child is ugly, and I am embarrassed to take this thing out."

Uncle Li came out carrying his things and just happened to hear them saying, "Stop pushing, old woman. The children are so kind. It's not appropriate to push anymore."

Aunt He had a helpless expression on her face and pulled Gu Wei into the house.

Uncle Li came over to put the wheat onto the ox cart, and Shen Wu and Gu Zhou hurried to lend a hand.

After putting the things on the ox cart, Uncle Li turned around and prepared to help Gu Zhou get up.

It was not the first time for Gu Zhou to ride in this car. He could get in by just lifting his feet and pushing hard. However, Jiang Yu had never done it before. He was ready to help her get in and then get in himself, and declined Uncle Li's help.

Shen Wu had done this when he was a child. Seeing these two people, one wanted to help while the other didn't, he tried the method from memory and one of them lifted his leg and went up.

Seeing that she had already gone up, Gu Zhou hurried over and did the same.

Uncle Li felt relieved after seeing the two people's quick movements and felt like he was driving the front of the car.

"I'm leaving!" Uncle Li shouted and started the carriage off.

Gu Wei leaned against the door frame with her hairy head sticking out, watching the two people gradually walking away.

Shen Wu must have seen her and waved for her to come in.
