Aunt He confirmed that everything was fine and took Gu Wei back home.

On the way back, several people in the village who had just watched the fun were talking about Jiang Yu.

"Is it possible that Jiang Yu has really changed his personality after the fall?"

"No, no! What if he's pretending?"

"Pretend? What good does it do her to pretend?"

"By the way, I saw her and the kid from the Gu family riding into the city on Lao Li's ox cart today."

"Lao Li? ... He? ... What are they doing in the city?"

"I don't know either. Hey! Isn't Aunt He here? Ask her."

After saying that, the man came over and asked Aunt He.

Aunt He held her younger brother and didn't want to say anything at first, but she was afraid that they would gossip about her, so she thought for a while and said, "The Gu family's family is selling wheat, and they wanted me to take care of the two children. It happened that Old Li came back to get something, so I let them take the car. Otherwise, they would not have to walk. A bag of wheat is so heavy, and they are so young."

After hearing this, several people agreed with Aunt He's idea: "Well... Jiang Yu has really become a better person."

One of them was a little suspicious: "Are you the one who is bullying us? Going to the city to sell wheat? Who harvested the wheat?"

Aunt He replied unhappily: "Jiang Yu did it himself. Kid Gu caught a cold that day and I happened to come over and got him some medicine."

"Herself!?!!"

Aunt He's answer really shocked several people, even the village chief who was listening to them silently was shocked.

Several people were skeptical that Jiang Yu could harvest the wheat by himself. Someone saw Gu Wei following and asked her, "Hey! Xiaowei! Did Jiang Yu really harvest the wheat in your field by himself?"

Gu Wei shook her head. Several people thought she was going to say no, but she said, "I don't know much. My brother was sick that day and asked me to take Jiang Yu to the field. I wanted to help but she sent me back. The next time I saw her, she had just come back from work. Not long after, Uncle Li and she went to move the wheat home."

"Oh my! This is true..."

Naturally, several people believed Gu Wei and stopped doubting Jiang Yu.

Seeing that the ashes were almost burnt, Shen Wu scooped some of them out and made them into a circle to quickly reduce the heat.

Seeing that the sun had set a little and was not so hot, I prepared to start turning the soil along the hole where the hoe had been dug before.

Gu Zhou saw her move without saying anything. If he wanted to go up to help, she would definitely not be allowed, so he turned around and went to another place. When he came back, he was holding a hoe in his hand.

Shen Wu avoided the fire and started to work hard. The sun was not so strong and it was much cooler. However, the land was too dry and it took too much effort to hoe it. As he was swinging the hoe, he saw Gu Zhou catching up with him in another field.

"? Huh? Where did you get the hoe?"

"Borrowed"

Shen Wu dug up another piece of soil that was as hard as stone: "Okay, let's do it together, and hurry up. But I have to say first, if you feel tired, take a rest before you continue working."

"it is good".

The two of them didn't say anything else. Shen Wuji finished more than three pieces in one breath before stopping. He turned around and looked at Gu Zhou, who had just finished... flipping through the rest.

The sun is about to set. If they want to plant tomorrow, they have to finish it today. Thinking of how much Gu Zhou has done today, Shen Wu is a little hesitant.

Gu Zhou saw what she was thinking: "I'm fine, just finish the ridges today. It will be too late if we delay. Just teach me how to do it."

Shen Wu thought about it and said: "Okay, then you watch me do it first."

Shen Wu used the last piece of land she had dug as a demonstration. She first roughly determined a distance of one and a half foot widths, and then roughly made the width of the ridge one and a half palm lengths. The next step was to pile up the ridge.

After watching, Gu Zhou went to learn. Seeing that he was very interested, Shen Wu stopped teaching him and asked him to finish his part first and then he would teach the next part.

They worked very quickly and finished a row in just a few minutes. Gu Zhou was a little unsure about the process because he was new to the subject and had to do it over and over again. Shen Wu had done it before so she had finished it long ago.

After seeing that Gu Zhou was done, she waited for him to have a break, but after the break, he had no choice but to continue: "The second ridge is actually the same as the first ridge. First, determine a distance of one and a half foot soles for the walking place, and then make a raised ridge of one and a half palm lengths. That's it. Do it this way for all the land in the future.

After listening to this, Gu Zhou started to work with the hoe.

In fact, the hoe is not easy to use, and you should use a shovel, but there should be no shovel at this time, so Shen Wu tried hard to adapt to using the hoe to plow the land.

The sun had already set by the time the two of them had finished working on the ridges. Shen Wu didn't care whether it was late or not and suggested just spreading ash and then soil today, finishing it in one step, and then coming back tomorrow to sow the seeds, cover the soil and water it.

Gu Zhou listened to Shen Wu's words, thought about it, and decided to go home with the hoe to return it.

After returning the hoe first, Gu Zhou went home and got the basket.

Shen Wu filled a basket of ashes. Since the heat dissipation had been turned on a long time ago, the ashes had cooled down on the outside, but were slightly warm on the inside.

With only one basket, Shen Wu came up with a hack idea. They used the basket together to spread the ashes, one person on each side, one ridge at a time. They would spread four ridges on a piece of land and they would be done with one round trip.

This method is a bit funny but useful. It was finished in less than ten minutes. Shen Wu went to the edge of the field to get a basket of soil and the two of them spread the soil again. This was to fix the wood ash. Although it may not seem to have much effect, it can still preserve some of the ash on top.

After spreading the ashes, it was almost dark over the horizon. Shen Wu held the basket and asked Gu Zhou to help with the hoe, and they went home together.

Gu Zhou originally wanted to go pick up the two children directly, but she thought that she was tired after a day and couldn't carry anything, so she sent the things back and then went to Aunt He's house.

Shen Wu thought that it would not be a good idea to go there right after finishing work. At least he should go home and wash his hands first. There was still some light and the road was not completely invisible.

When they got home, Shen Wu got a basin of water first, and Gu Zhou put away the farm tools. After they washed their hands in a basin one after another, they started working again.

Shen Wu first went to light a fire to boil water, prepared some hot water, and then lit the oil lamps in the main room. She found all the oil lamps in the house and lit them. She had no idea about this and didn't feel sorry at all.

Then he went to the gate of the courtyard to collect the cloths and put them back in his room. He would wait until nightfall to use oil to draw the pattern according to tomorrow's drawing.

After doing all this, she hurried back to the kitchen. The water in the pot was boiling, so she scooped some out and used it to scald a short ceramic pot. After scalding it carefully inside and out, she used it to hold hot water to drink.

She was stupid. She forgot to prepare hot water for drinking after being here for so many days. Anyway, she usually saw them drinking water from this jar, so she just used it.

After she finished with the water, she scooped out a lot of it into the basin so that Gu Zhou could come back and wash it carefully later.
