A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu wrote her name on the cloth as he said. She was not very good at writing with a pen, and the writing on the cloth was easy to move, so the finished product looked a bit ugly.

Gu Zhou stared at it seriously: "Is this how my name is written in your characters?"

Shen Wu nodded: "Gu is the only surname in our place. It also has other pronunciations, but according to your pronunciation, it is this character. The "Day" in "Day and Night" is this one."

Shen Wu suddenly remembered the seeds he bought: "By the way, how do you plan to plant millet and loquat seeds?"

Gu Zhou stood up and said: "Just plant it directly, and then watch the seedlings after watering."

Shen Wu thought of the way his own land was planted in modern times, and said, "Do you want to try our method?"

Gu Zhou already trusted her and nodded in agreement.

Shen Wu stood up and put away his things: "We'll go after feeding my brother when he wakes up."

Gu Zhou paused and said: "I have to go to Aunt He's place later when I wake up."

"Why?" Shen Wu didn't quite understand.

Gu Zhou repeated Aunt He's words to Shen Wu: "I have finished working on the farm at home, and Yun'er has gone to school. Every day I just walk around the farm and do some odd jobs. You two are still children, how can children take care of children? You can do the work on the farm first, and I will look after your younger brother for you. It won't be too late to take him back after the farm work is done. If you don't send him over, you won't be able to take good care of him. You have never been pregnant with a child, so you don't know how to take care of it. It's better for me to take care of him first. As for the land, I know you are stubborn and don't want to ask for it, but I won't beat around the bush. Let your Uncle Li help with the work in the farm first, and don't refuse."

Shen Wu naturally had no objection. Not to mention that she had no feelings for the child, she couldn't take care of the child in this family situation. You asked her to cook, farm, or do business, but taking care of the child? She was afraid that the child would die.

"Okay, thank you Aunt He. I don't know how to take care of the child, so I'm glad you can help. You can send the child over later and we can go to the fields together."

After talking about this, Gu Zhou went back to the house to find farm tools. Shen Wu went out to touch her cloth. I don't know if it was because of the good weather, but the cloth was almost dry, and it would be completely dry in the afternoon.

She thought about the style she wanted to make. She knew that she would need to draw lines when the time came. In ancient times, there were no water-washing brushes or drawing powder. It seemed that she could only draw the pattern first and then put it in water to dye.

Because it is black, it is also convenient as you don't have to worry about the charcoal pencil not being able to be washed off.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, she suddenly remembered how to make bamboo pens. She had some small bamboos she brought back from working with bamboo before, so she took a machete and started making pens.

She did it once in modern times. She used ornamental bamboo that the people downstairs didn't want. It was easy to make as long as you choose the size of the grip and the desired length.

She actually found a small bamboo that she had accidentally brought back among the remaining bamboos. It was less than half a meter long and must have been knocked down when the bamboo fell. There was a split mark on one end.

Shen Wu selected a bamboo of similar length and counted back half a palm before chopping it off.

She prepared the chopped part as the top and the split part as the tip of the pen.

The tip of the pen needs to have an upward slanted arc. Aim the machete at the place where you want to chop it off, and push down with force to chop off half of it. A few more hits will chop it all off.

She picked up a random stone from home and used the rougher side to grind the two ends. The top was easy to grind because it was close to the bamboo joint, and the surface became very smooth after a slight grind.

The nib needs to be made more carefully. She grinds it a few times and then checks it to adjust the size and tilt of the nib.

After grinding the nib, you need to make grinding marks on it, which is where some ink can be retained, and there are also lines to guide the flow of ink.

Shen Wu wrapped a part of the sickle head with cloth, held that part and used the tip of the sickle to draw on the top of the pen. First draw a thin line on the outside, and then use the sickle to drill a hole in the pen tip.

Because it is easy to drill fine holes in bamboo, just press down hard and rotate the tip of the knife left and right.

Make the hole about 0.3 cm, then carve the outside line clearly. The pen tip inside also needs to extend from the middle of the circle. Make it a little deeper and that's it.

How could there be ink when there was not even a pen in the house? She thought of her Nanzhu fruits, so she took a few and ground them with a stone to get out the juice.

I took some juice with the tip of the pen, used the washed cloth as the base, and drew a star on it.

"I'm so awesome!" Shen Wu looked at the five-pointed star on the cloth and praised himself from the bottom of his heart. Now I have paper and pen, right? I'll get some and cut it into a size as big as a computer screen and draw some simple drawings on it! Isn't this another way to attract business?

She bought the cloth cheaply, so she doesn't feel bad about it. Besides, if things really don't work, she can just use the rag that was given to her as a gift. Although it has holes in it, it can be used as a hanging loop if it is designed a little bit.

Gu Zhou was just about to go out with his younger brother in his arms when he saw Shen Wu standing at the gate of the yard, smiling at the cloth that was drying in the sun. He was going to see his younger brother off, so he said hello and left.

Gu Wei ran out from behind him, hurriedly catching up with Gu Zhou's footsteps, shouting as she ran: "Brother, wait for me!"

Shen Wu looked at the two of them and smiled, then turned around and took a few more fruits and crushed them in his palm to extract the juice, then he drew a scene of Gu Wei chasing her brother on the cloth on the spot, of course it was a Q version.

She has poor drawing skills, but can only draw Q-version and is adept at simple sketches.

When Gu Zhou came back, he saw something on the cloth at the door. He walked over and saw that they were two tiny people. Judging from their attire, they were him, Gu Wei, and his younger brother. However, he didn't understand what the thing with horns drawn on it was.

Shen Wu carried a hoe on his back and a fire starter in his arms and walked out of the courtyard, ready to wait for Gu Zhou to come back and go to the fields together.

"Hey! You're back so soon!" Shen Wu had just stepped out of the door when she saw Gu Zhou standing at the gate of the courtyard. She was shocked when she saw where he was standing. She felt a little embarrassed that the thing she drew was seen by the person involved. She wanted to slip away.

"Well, I'll be back after I give my little brother to my aunt." Gu Zhou was curious about what she made, and when he saw her just coming out, he asked, "What is this?"

He was referring to the painting by Shen Wu of him and Gu Wei as a child.

Shen Wu walked over with a hoe in hand, feeling a little itchy all over his body: "This is a painting of you three..."

“It’s a bit like that, but it looks weird.”

Shen Wu thought to herself, how could she not blame him? It was so cute. In order to stop him from being curious and taking things, she quickly carried the hoe and asked Gu Zhou to go to the field to work.

Gu Zhou first closed the courtyard door, then glanced at the painting on the cloth before following Shen Wu's running pace.

It's not that Shen Wu didn't wait for anyone, how can I say this? What I drew was quite embarrassing, it was just that I had a sudden urge to draw it when I saw that scene, I thought the corners wouldn't attract attention so I didn't care, I didn't expect to be seen by the person involved.
