A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

42

Gu Zhou tried to take back the hoe: "It's okay, I'm not tired yet, I can still work for a while."

Shen Wu certainly wouldn't agree, so she picked up the hoe and walked to the other end, and started working from the other end.

Seeing that she refused to give it to him, Gu Zhou had no choice but to go to the side to rest. During this rest period, he just started to pick up wheat stubble.

With previous experience, Shen Wu adjusted his strength and the angle of the hoe at the beginning. In the end, he was not too tired after finishing those pieces.

After Shen Wu finished digging, she started picking up the trash directly from the spot. The two of them worked quite fast, one at one end and the other at another.

After that, I put them in a pile and found some hay to use as ignition.

He took out the tinder from his pocket, blew up a spark, used hay as a starter and placed it in the middle of the stubble pile. All that was left was to wait.

Logically speaking, the wheat stubble would still be a little damp and should be dried for a day before being burned. However, Shen Wu had not checked on it since he had harvested the wheat, so the wheat stubble had been dried in the sun. The land was also dried very dry, and the soil dug out was dry. When it was piled up, the soil fell off, so there was no problem in burning it.

There was a slight breeze in the weather, which blew on the haystacks and helped fuel the fire. Soon the tiny sparks of fire turned into a big blaze.

Shen Wu pulled Gu Zhou and stood farther away. The smoke blown by the wind was very choking. She accidentally inhaled a breath of it and choked herself, coughing continuously and tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"Ouch, forget this. Gu Zhou, stay away and don't choke." She spoke too late, and when she choked, Gu Zhou beside her naturally inhaled some of it as well.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Gu Zhou didn't inhale much, but it just smelled unpleasant.

They were burning here, and the man in the nearby field was standing there watching, not knowing what the two were doing, burning things in the field, and there was a lot of smoke. Just when he wanted to go over and take a closer look, he saw a group of people coming over the hilltop in the distance.

"Where's the fire! Where!"

"The Gu family's land"

"Hurry up! Guys, follow me!"

When Shen Wu bent down to cough, he heard a group of people chattering behind him. When he turned around, he saw that some people were holding basins and carrying water.

"Fuck! I forgot about this!" Shen Wu looked at a group of people rushing down the slope and quickly ran over to explain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I lit the wheat stubble to save trouble. It's not a fire! Thank you all for coming here!"

The leader was an elderly man, who started to express his concern: "What...what's going on? Yuwazi, what are you doing?"

Shen Wu didn't know who he was, but he felt that he knew him from his voice: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. The wheat stubble in the field is difficult to deal with, so I asked Gu Zhou to help me get a piece to burn. I also took fire prevention measures and kept an eye on it so that the dry grass would not be burned. It's really a big trouble for you all to come here out of your kindness."

The people who came later were clamoring to put out the fire, but some were stopped by Gu Zhou before they could rush over. The people behind the village chief who heard Jiang Yu's words were stunned, holding the water but not moving.

Shen Wu was afraid that the person behind him who was stopped by Gu Zhou would go and water the plants, so he turned back and shouted to explain it to him again. Gu Zhou explained to the villagers and Shen Wu also repeated it, and the person in front did not go over again.

Seeing that the people behind her didn't move, she turned around and continued to explain to the group of nearly 10 villagers in front of her: "Dear uncles and aunts, it is really my fault today. I forgot to inform you before burning the food. It's also my fault that I was young and thought of things in a different way."

No one spoke, puzzled by Jiang Yu's bizarre politeness. After the two Gu family members died, how could this... donkey that couldn't be tied become obedient?

It was the village chief who spoke first: "Yuwazi, why are you...this...different?"

Before Shen Wu could open his mouth, he heard someone running over from behind the hill, shouting, "What's going on? What happened to the Gu family's field?"

The one running over was Aunt He, holding little brother Gu, followed by Gu Wei.

Shen Wu shouted: "It's okay, auntie, you go back first!"

Aunt He didn't know how to walk, she ran to Shen Wu holding the child and said: "I heard that there was a fire in the field."

Shen Wu patiently explained again: "No, no, this is my fault. The wheat stubble in the field is difficult to deal with, so I came up with an idea and asked Gu Zhou to help me get a piece of it. We burned it together and thought of turning the ashes back into the field."

Aunt He didn't know what to say. The child was fine after waking up, but sometimes he would do things that made people confused: "You, you!"

"It's really okay! I dug it out and watched from the side, and placed it in the middle of the ground. It definitely didn't burn somewhere else."

Seeing that the fire had indeed not spread to other places, the village chief waved his hand and told everyone to disperse. He turned back and gave Jiang Yu an earnest lecture: "You kid... the two Gu family members just left, why can't you just be in peace for a while? Fortunately, the incident today didn't get out of hand. If it had been serious, the surrounding area would have been burned down."

Shen Wu listened to the instructions patiently and did not dare to say a word. It was really her fault for not informing them in advance.

Aunt He was coaxing little brother Gu while listening to the village chief educating Jiang Yu. Looking at her expression, she sighed: "You don't know, this child fell on his head just after Madam Gu left. He didn't recognize anyone after waking up. His temper has become better, but he's still a little unsure about what he does."

"Is this true?!" The village chief was almost dumbfounded when he heard this, "This... just happened in the past few days?"

Gu Zhou came over and continued: "Grandpa Village Chief, this is what happened. A few days ago, it was the seventh day after my mother's death. Jiang Yu happened to fall down, and after waking up he didn't recognize us, and he didn't even remember his name. I'm also involved in this matter today. We discussed doing the autumn planting earlier, and we used this method to catch up."

Seeing Gu Zhou say this, the village chief still had some doubts in his heart. Seeing Gu Wei behind Aunt He, he called her over: "Come here, Xiaowei, the village chief grandpa wants to ask you, does Yuwazi really not recognize you when he wakes up?"

Gu Wei glanced at Shen Wu, and nodded as if she had considered something: "I originally thought she was pretending, but after she woke up she didn't recognize us at all and didn't remember our names, and she wasn't as bad as before. She has become so nice now, she cooks a lot of delicious food for us, washes my hair, and helps with housework."

The village chief touched Gu Wei's head and asked her to go play aside first: "Good girl, go and play."

Gu Wei didn't leave, but went back behind Aunt He.

The village chief turned around and looked at Jiang Yu, who was listening to the lesson silently and seriously, and sighed: "Alas... I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. It's better that you don't remember it. Don't do those things in the future and share more of the burden of the family. Besides Zhuwa, you are the only one in the family who can take care of things, so don't be so messy anymore."

Shen Wu nodded obediently: "Thank you for your teaching, I understand."

Her reaction and reply made the village chief even more convinced that she had lost her memory. He said nothing more and called on those who were still watching the fun to follow him back.
