A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Gu Zhou caught up with her and asked her what she was going to do.

Shen Wu told him his plan: "I plan to dig out all the wheat stubble in the field and put them together, then burn them into ashes and use them on the fields. Then I'll use a hoe to loosen the entire field, make ridges for each plot of land, divide it into sections, and then I'll sow the seeds tomorrow morning."

Gu Zhou had never heard of this method of planting and was somewhat skeptical as to whether it would work.

Shen Wu saw his worry and gave him a suggestion: "If you are worried that you won't be able to grow anything, then each of you will take half and split the seeds in half. Let's see what the results are then."

Gu Zhou shook his head. He still believed in her, but he was not sure.

Shen Wu explained to him the malicious intention of each step: "The ash from the burned wheat stubble is used to fertilize the ground. This fertilizer is also a kind of nutrient compared to farmyard manure and crop fertilizer. The land has just grown a crop of crops, and all the fertilizer has been used up. If fertilizer is not added, the next crop will have less nutrition. With less nutrition, the yield of the crops will be low."

After hearing her explanation, Gu Zhou understood the benefits of doing so and was eager to ask about loosening the soil and building ridges.

"Loosening the soil means turning the soil over to make it loose, allowing the seeds to take root better. This way, the germination rate will be higher, and the effect will be better when combined with wood ash fertilizer. The ridges divide a piece of land into several long strips, and the seeds are usually planted in the high soil position on the strips. This makes it convenient for people to enter, and subsequent weeding, watering, and fertilizing are easier."

Shen Wu's explanation really enlightened Gu Zhou. It turned out that this could be done.

Her place is so powerful, she must be living a good life. Thinking of the changes in my family after she came, I am even more convinced.

"You can get a lot of harvest by farming in the place you come to, right? There... there are no poor people, right?" Gu Zhou was very curious about this. He dared not even to imagine that kind of scene.

Shen Wu was stunned. This topic...how should I answer?

Her eyes were deep as if she was recalling something, and her steps slowed down. "We can harvest a lot. We have many great people there who helped us get through hunger. They worked hard all their lives to save us from the days when we were starving to the point of eating tree bark, grass, and soil. The seeds they developed are very powerful. We can harvest at least 1,000 kilograms per acre."

"Poor people?" Shen Wu sighed and continued, "Even so, we still have poor people. Farmers work hard to grow crops but cannot sell them for a good price, and people still die of hunger every day. Everyone is struggling hard for survival. Some people have so much money that they spend it on playing every day, and some people are so poor that they die of exhaustion at work."

Her answer really shocked Gu Zhou. What she showed was much better than where he was. Could such a thing happen in a place like that?

"So that's why you said you want to make money? Is it because we are too poor here?" Gu Zhou had a sad face and didn't know why he asked such a question.

Shen Wu laughed out loud: "Hahahahaha... your expression is so funny. It's not that you people are poor. We have never walked your path. You are like our past. To tell me the reason... Maybe it's because I have never experienced your kind of life so I want to give it a try. Besides, you are not bad people. Although I was very fierce when I woke up, you still gave me food when you didn't know that I was not Jiang Yu. It is not right for such a kind person to suffer. So at that time I thought, since I came here, I might as well help you. But I really didn't expect that you had a good brain and found out that I was not Jiang Yu so quickly. I thought you would have to wait for a long time."

Gu Zhou looked at her laughing and suddenly became curious about her name: "What should I call you in the future? Jiang Yu or your name..."

Shen Wu returned to her non-smiling expression. She didn't want to say her name yet. That was a part of her past life. Besides, she and Gu Zhou only had a verbal agreement. She provided the technology, and he helped her with a place to live and some necessary identities to survive in this world. Forget about anything else: "Since you're here, just call me Jiang Yu. You all know her here. Wouldn't it arouse suspicion if you suddenly called her by another name?"

What she said was very appropriate, and since there was no reason for her to ask further, Gu Zhou just acquiesced: "Okay, I'll still call you Jiang Yu from now on."

As the two were talking, they walked to the edge of the field. The fields of other people nearby already had green seedlings, but their field was still covered with yellowish wheat stubble.

Shen Wu was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, you guys are late in farming because of me. If I hadn't come up with so many ideas, you would have started it long ago."

Gu Zhou knew what she meant and tried to comfort her, "No... it has nothing to do with you. I was late because of the housework, so I started farming later. It has nothing to do with you."

His consolation was very direct and honest. Shen Wu still felt guilty, so he went to the field and used a hoe to dig out the wheat stubble.

"I'll hoe the ground first, and then we'll pick it up and burn it somewhere."

She didn't give Gu Zhouqiang a chance to survive and just picked up the hoe and started working.

Their land is a bit remote and there are not many households nearby growing crops. Judging from the green seedlings, it seems that there are only two or three households nearby.

Someone happened to be weeding in the field at that moment. He turned around to see where they were making some noise. When he saw it was Jiang Yu, he quickly turned his head away. He felt sorry for the Gu family. Both of them were good kids, but this one... Alas... Not even rotten mud.

That person didn't know that after Jiang Yu fell, he had a new person in his heart, Shen Wu. Not to mention changing the person, he didn't even know that Jiang Yu had fallen.

Shen Wu's arms were sore after working for a while, so she stopped to rest against the hoe and prepared to work again. Looking back at Gu Zhou, he was really working hard. He had picked up all the wheat stubble where she had dug and put it in one place. When she looked back, he also picked up some behind him.

"Let me do it, you take a rest first." Seeing that she was panting with exhaustion, Gu Zhou hurriedly took over the heavy work while she was resting.

Shen Wu did not argue, handed him the hoe and went back to the field to rest.

She remembered that when she first arrived, she harvested the wheat by herself without asking for help, and she didn't feel anything when she finished harvesting the whole field by herself.

After a break, she stood up and continued to pick up the wheat stubble, and she picked up three fields at a time. She saw Gu Zhou in front of her still working hard, and after she finished the wheat stubble, she shouted to him to take a break: "Hey!!! Gu Zhou, take a break! Let me do it!"

Gu Zhou heard her words but pretended not to hear them and continued to dig the wheat stubble with his hoe. She was working so hard, so he had to keep up.

Seeing that the man refused to listen, Shen Wu found an opportunity to go over and snatch the hoe away: "Take a break. How old are you? You are exerting so much effort. With your physique, I'm afraid you will be exhausted."
