A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband
Chapter 50: Planting Seeds and New Clothes
Shen Wu worked all night to finally make their clothes.
As to why it took so long, it was mainly because the seams were a bit troublesome. In order to avoid leaving raw edges of the cloth, she used the back-and-forth sewing method and wrapped up the edges of the cloth.
She made the clothes very spacious so that they could be worn again within a short period of time, and she also made several pleats on the front and back to control the width of the clothes.
Since I had made the tops, I had to make pants too, so I simply made three pairs of trousers. The two big ones were her and Gu Zhou's sizes, and the small one was Gu Wei's.
It was bright outside when she finally finished everything and lay down to sleep.
I didn't know what time I fell asleep when I heard someone talking outside.
Shen Wu was still a little confused, and suddenly remembered that he still had to pick underwater seeds today, so he quickly sat up from the bed.
The oil lamp on the table had been burned down by two-thirds by the time she finished working, and there was almost no oil visible at the bottom of the lamp.
Shen Wu got out of bed, picked up the two sets of clothes she had prepared on the table and went out. She had a sore back and waist from the sleep she had just had, and she could hear her bones crackling as soon as she walked out of the room.
She grimaced and bent her back to stretch at the door, but was startled by the sudden voice that Gu Wei said while holding her little brother.
"Jiang Yu, wake up!!"
"Well, what time is it now?" Shen Wu looked at the sun that was clearly rising and thought to himself, "Oh no! I've overslept too much! I still have to plant seeds today!"
She hurriedly asked where Gu Zhou was: "Where is Gu Zhou? In the field?"
Gu Wei answered truthfully: "My brother said you were tired. If you get up, he would let you eat first. He has gone to work in the fields."
Shen Wu quickly hung the clothes in his hand on the rope in the yard and ran out of the yard: "You stay at home, I'm going to see your brother, don't follow me."
When Shen Wu hurried over, Gu Zhou had already fetched water and watered the land he had worked on yesterday.
"Why didn't you call me?"
"You were very tired yesterday and even cooked at night. I saw that you slept well so I wanted to let you sleep a little longer. Anyway, you told me how to do it, so I will do the rest."
Shen Wu sighed. This child is too sensible. She just stayed up all night. She is not tired at all. She could stay up for four or five days in a row without any problem.
"When did you come to fetch the water?"
Gu Zhou didn't tell the truth: "It just took a short time for me to come here."
He watered the entire field by himself, so it’s impossible that he came here just recently. I guess... he was there around five o’clock.
Shen Wu did not expose his white lie. He jumped down to the ground, picked up the bag of seeds and prepared to help sow them.
"How much millet and turnips do you plan to plant?"
Shen Wu asked this mainly because he was the one who bought the seeds, and she had no idea what his plans were.
Gu Zhou came over from the other end carrying an empty bucket and praised her method for being very convenient: "This way you don't have to worry about stepping on the seeds when watering, and you can move everything back and forth clearly."
Shen Wu didn't understand what he said next, so she listened to his explanation: "At least half of the seeds should be millet, and one and a half squares of radish will be enough. The seeds are mainly used to sell, so leave some for eating."
Since he had said that, Shen Wu planned to go and spread the seeds first. He had only taken a few steps when Gu Zhou called him, "Let me do it. Do you... recognize millet seeds and radishes?"
He asked kindly, not sure whether she admitted it or not.
Shen Wu stopped and didn't prepare to take action. He really didn't know him.
This thing... is quite different from the later seeds.
Her family planted high-quality varieties at that time, which are very different from the small and strange-looking ones now.
But she had no reason to just watch others busy themselves and not work: "Just tell me, it will be faster if we work together. After we finish it, I have something to trouble you with when we get back."
Gu Zhou wondered what trouble she could cause, so he decided to finish the work first: "The more on your left are millet seeds, and the less on your right are radish seeds."
After Shen Wu learned the difference, he even cursed himself for being stupid...
He said that there were only one and a half carrots and millet seeds left, which means that there were more millet seeds than carrots. Why didn't I react to it?
After dividing the seeds with Gu Zhou, Shen Wu began to spread them in another field. He had some doubts in his heart at first, but after seeing Gu Zhou's actions, he took it as confirmation.
Is it true that I bought more seeds because the germination rate was low? So I made up for it with quantity.
After sowing the seeds, the sun was almost directly above their heads. Gu Zhou knew that Shen Wu wanted to add another layer of soil, so he had prepared it early. The two of them finished applying the soil before going back.
When they were halfway there, Gu Zhou suddenly said, "You go back first, I'll fetch some more water before going back."
Shen Wu was a little dazed as he watched his back walking towards the river. Was he the one who had been carrying water back home like this these days?
It's not her fault that she has a slow reaction time. To be honest, the first thing she does when she gets up is cooking, and then she does this and that, and her attention is not on these things at all.
Normally, I can concentrate on hypnotizing myself, but it would be strange if I could notice these ordinary little things.
Shen Wu returned to the yard silently, stood at the entrance of the yard, looked inside without saying a word.
She said she could help in any way she could, but she did very little herself.
The basic water supply in this family depends on that child who is still a child. How embarrassing it is for her as an adult.
Gu Wei held her brother in her arms and sat in the main room. Her brother didn't like the sun, so she sat here specifically and could also help watch over the house.
Her brother Jiang Yu was busy in the fields, and she was too young to help with anything else. She was very happy to be able to help look after her younger brother and the house. She could finally help her brother share some of the burden.
"Jiang Yu?!" Gu Wei looked at Jiang Yu standing at the door in confusion. She didn't come in and was standing at the door, and no one knew what she was doing.
"!Ah! Coming right up!" Shen Wu came to his senses and stepped into the door. When he passed the rope, he took off his clothes.
"This rope? Was it made by Gu Zhou?"
"Ah, my brother tied it this morning and said you might need it." Gu Wei watched Jiang Yu take down the things she had hung there before and walk towards the main room.
"Let me hold you first, you go try on this dress."
Shen Wu took the child from Gu Wei’s stunned arms. She was also a child, but she still helped to hold the child…
"Clothes?!" Gu Wei's voice was filled with confusion and excitement.
Shen Wu held the baby and rocked him slightly: "Try this. I made it overnight. Let's see how it works."
Gu Wei's face was full of disbelief, but she was about to cry the next second: "Is it really for me?!"
"Yes~ Go and try it on. The clothes are pullovers and there are buttons on the pants. They won't ask me."
Gu Wei ran back to the inner room holding the new clothes like a happy little bird. She! …She had new clothes! She actually had new clothes.
She was a little reluctant to put on the tattered black clothes she had worn for who knows how long.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Shen Wu asked, "What's wrong? Can't you put on your clothes?" That shouldn't be the case. This... is so bulky, it's impossible that she can't put on her clothes.
Gu Wei came out of the house again, holding the clothes, with reluctance on her face: "I...I will dirty the new clothes."
Shen Wu squatted down with the child in her arms and explained to her: "Try the clothes first. It doesn't matter if they are dirty or not. Just try to see if you can wear them. Then we can take a comfortable bath in the afternoon and wear new clothes. How about that?"
