A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

The road was long, and Li Youfu would find topics to talk about from time to time. Shen Wu didn't say much, but turned his head to appreciate the scenery around him.

What Gu Zhou and Uncle Li talked about were things she didn't know, and she had no curiosity to listen.

Shen Wu watched the golden morning light scatter into the forest and then pass through her eyes. The morning air rose from the lush woods, and the Tyndall effect filled the world. She felt a warmth from the bottom of her heart.

While Gu Zhou and Uncle Li were talking, they would look at Jiang Yu from the corner of their eyes. She seemed to be very interested in the tree? Her face was tilted to the side, and her eyes were full of joy.

Shen Wu rarely sees such a beautiful morning view in the city. The Tyndall effect is very common even in the city, and she has only seen it at her grandmother's house when she was young and in videos.

Looking at the beautiful scenery, she couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful scenery."

Li Youfu heard her murmur and subconsciously wanted to say that it was all the same. Then he remembered that she had forgotten the past and replied with a laugh: "Of course, morning time is the best. Yuwazi, if you like, your uncle will take you out when he has time."

Shen Wu knew that he was being polite, so he smiled and said "Hey".

Farmers' time is very precious and they are extremely busy on weekdays. It is difficult to survive in this era, let alone this kind of aristocratic way of doing things.

The ox cart slowly pulled the three of them along, and after a while they finally arrived in front of a large city wall. The wall was as mottled as the ancient city walls seen on TV, and there was a thick and wide city gate. She couldn't recognize the words on it. It looked like some kind of town.

Li Youfu got off the car and talked to the soldiers guarding the city gate. Shen Wu secretly leaned over and whispered in Gu Zhou's ear: "Do I have to pay to enter the city?"

Gu Zhou was not used to her being so close to him, and the part of his ear that was close to her turned a little red. He didn’t know if it was because he was scared or what. “No need, Uncle Li is going to tell us where we came from and what we are here for.”

Gu Zhou was actually a little confused. Could it be that he hadn't been in the city these days? Did the rules change again? Why did it feel stricter this time than before?

Sure enough, two people guarding the city gate came to the ox cart, lifted up the things on the left and right to check, and then waved their hands to let them in.

"Thank you for your hard work, sirs."

Uncle Li got back on the carriage and whipped it towards the city.

After passing the city gate, the scene inside is completely different. The road is just the right width, more than enough for two ox carts to pass together.

There are all kinds of small shops on both sides, and people coming and going are all wearing simple clothes. In front of each shop there are people shouting loudly to promote their own shops.

Although it is not as beautifully and regularly presented as on TV, this road has been carefully maintained and the soil looks hard.

Shen Wu watched the ox cart move forward without raising any dust.

Out of curiosity, Shen Wu ignored the sales around her and looked back to see that she was quite far from the city gate. She asked, "Uncle, is it so troublesome to enter the city?"

Li Youfu did not hide it from her and continued driving the carriage to reply to her: "I heard from the two gentlemen at the gate that there was a thief in the city a few days ago who stole a lot of property from the county officials. We searched the entire city but couldn't find him. They were afraid that he might have escaped, so they put the city gate under martial law."

Shen Wu was surprised. How could they not find anyone? Their efficiency was very low.

Before she could continue to look at the situation, Uncle Li stopped the ox cart and said, "We're here."

Shen Wu jumped out of the car and looked at the place in front where people were coming in and out with some confusion. Has this been the place where they sell things?

She didn't see the place where wheat was sold, but she still asked, "Uncle, are you here for business?"

"Let's go, aren't we selling wheat? Uncle will go with you."

"Ah!" Shen Wu finally understood that Uncle Li really had taken them to the place specially to help them sell wheat.

"Thank you for your help. You have something else to do. We can do it ourselves."

"Uncle is on the way too."

Li Youfu had just finished speaking and bent down to carry the wheat, but Gu Zhou got there first: "Uncle, please pull it over here. I'll do it."

Shen Wu hurriedly followed the two people in. Since she didn't know ancient characters, she thought it was where Uncle Li did his business.

As soon as he entered, a clerk came up to him and asked what he wanted to do specifically. Gu Zhou said, "The summer wheat has been harvested and we're here to sell it."

The guy asked them to carry the things in and put them on a shelf slightly above the ground.

"You came late. At this time, a bucket costs 5 wen."

Li Youfu felt that the price was low and started to bargain: "Wasn't it 10 cents when we came here before? How come it has dropped by more than half now?"

The clerk knew many people and did not think that the man on the other side was unreasonable. He explained to him the reason: "The 10 cents you paid before was for the new summer wheat. The first batch of wheat is needed urgently and the price is higher. Now the wheat has been harvested, and you came late, so there are not many things to buy. We didn't want to buy it originally, but because we saw that you brought two children with you, we invited you in."

Li Youfu felt a little guilty. He didn't expect that he brought them to a place where the salary was low. He wanted to do good things, but ended up hurting them.

After Shen Wu came in, he took a quick look at the grain transportation situation in the house, patted Uncle Li to indicate that everything was fine, and said to the clerk with a smile: "We also understand your difficulties. The price is not fixed and can be negotiated. Why don't you take a look at our wheat first?"

The guys were very surprised to see her come out. The young girl spoke like an adult, and after listening to her words, they were very curious about the wheat they brought.

After Shen Wu finished speaking, he stepped forward and gently pulled the bag open.

He reached in and grabbed a handful to show him. The guy came forward and saw the wheat, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"The wheat grains are full and clean, except for the few thorns, and there is not much dust to the touch." The clerk thought for a while and said: "Add another penny per bucket."

Shen Wu looked back at Uncle Li and Gu Zhou. Gu Zhou nodded, and Uncle Li looked guilty.

"Okay, we can accept this price. Can you please weigh it?"

Shen Wu didn't mind the one-cent increase at all, and he had confirmed it with Gu Zhou.

Anyway, they all agreed, so this big bag should cost them more than 100 coins.

Li Youfu wanted to say something, but seeing that neither of them said anything, he didn't open his mouth.

The guy called someone to help, and one of them brought over a large square box with a wide mouth and equal width on all four sides in his left hand, and a huge sack in his right hand.

"Just watch this," the waiter said to the three people, and then started to put the wheat that Shen Wu and his friends brought into the box.

Shen Wu went over to help roll up the mouth of the bag so that it would be easier for them to scoop out the food.

It took more than 20 and a half dou to get one bag. The guy was using an abacus, but Shen Wu had already reported the result.

"121 dollars"

The guy also got the result very quickly, and it turned out to be 121 coins in total.

He was surprised: "Little girl, you are really smart. You can be so fast and accurate without using beads."

Shen Wu put on a fake smile and started talking nonsense: "No, no, it's just that my parents have been selling grain many times, so I can roughly guess the result when the price is announced."

The clerk understood what was going on, so he asked someone to deposit the wheat into the account, and also asked someone to bring over 121 yuan.

Li Youfu watched Jiang Yu operate, quickly took the money and left. When he came to his senses, he and Gu Zhou were already standing in front of the ox cart.

Shen Wu counted the money again, made sure it was correct, and handed it to Gu Zhou.

Li Youfu felt guilty and apologized to Shen Wu and Gu Zhou with an uncomfortable face: "Uncle Li is sorry for you. The previous store was closed, so I thought of bringing you here to have a look. Maybe the sales will be higher than before, but I didn't expect the price here is also low."

Shen Wu smiled and comforted the middle-aged man: "Uncle, what are you talking about? You specially brought us here today and accompanied us. You have helped us so much. Gu Zhou and I have to thank you."

Gu Zhou also spoke to comfort him: "Uncle, don't be sad. Dad and I have come to this store to inquire about it before. The beginning of the summer harvest is indeed high. It's my fault that I harvested it late and missed the harvest. You made a special trip to bring us here today. Thank you for your hard work and thought."

Li Youfu felt embarrassed by what they said. The yellow-faced middle-aged man felt like he was about to float in the air. He scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Uncle, I don't feel bad."

Seeing that the sun was almost setting, Shen Wu said hurriedly: "Uncle, if you don't take care of these things, do you have anything else to do? Go and get busy."

Li Youfu nodded and told them: "See you at the city gate at noon", and got on the ox cart and drove away.
