A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband
Chapter 58: The Successful Baby Bamboo Chair
Gu Zhou wanted to refuse, but he saw Shen Wu's expression, a face that would not concede refusal: "Okay, I'll go now."
Shen Wu helped him prepare the water: "It will be a little hot. You can go to my room to wash and soak for a while. Don't worry. If it's too hot, I can get you a basin of room temperature water."
"it is good".
Shen Wu filled a wooden bucket half full of prepared water and put it aside, then asked Gu Zhou to help her carry the small half basin of water over.
After the two of them brought the water over, Shen Wu asked him to get the towel she gave him first, while she went to get the rest of the water and his clothes.
Gu Zhou didn't say anything, and silently went back to his room to get the cloth towel that he had folded and placed in the cleanest place in the room.
Shen Wu first brought the water and poured it into the wooden basin, then got half a bucket of room temperature water and put it in for him. Finally, he went to the yard to find his clothes and handed the soap bean crumbs to Gu Zhou who had just come out.
Shen Wu didn't care that what she said was inappropriate, and explained to Gu Zhou carefully: "This is a new one for bathing. You can soak it in hot water for a while, rub it carefully when washing your body, and finally rub the soap on your body to make bubbles, rinse it with water and wipe off the water with a cloth, then change into new clothes. I'll put a broken basket at the door for your old clothes, you can just put them in when the time comes."
Gu Zhou blushed at what she said, but luckily he was tanned from working in the fields so nothing could be seen.
"Hmm...hmm." Gu Zhou took the things. It seemed like something was chasing him from behind, so he quickly went into the house and closed the door.
Shen Wu nodded as she saw how neatly he behaved. The boy was very obedient. It seemed that her method of raising a son was also very effective! It was estimated that even if one pretended to be very fierce, he could still deceive a child.
After putting away the broken basket that had come from nowhere, Shen Wu hummed a song and went back to work under the wooden shed.
To her stupid brain... some of her previous ideas were no longer useful. She could make one with the ready-made materials. It would just be uglier, but it would allow the youngest child to sit on it sooner, and she wouldn't have to trouble Gu Wei.
Shen Wu placed the bamboo with the round hole on the ground facing upwards, and placed the one that needed to be inserted facing the opening.
She stood up and stepped on the bamboo below with both feet. She held the bamboo above to be inserted with one hand and used the other hand to hit it down hard with the wood.
With a few bangs, the bamboo above was knocked in. Shen Wu looked at the position of the marked line and knocked with all his strength again. This time it took many knocks before he barely reached the marked line.
This chair requires eight parallel horizontal bamboo pieces, up and down, left and right, front and back. She first knocked two on the main body, and then placed them face to face on the ground and hammered them in with wood.
Although it was past noon and there was wind today, she was still working under the wooden shed. But the heat from moving was real. After knocking all the bamboos, she was so tired that she fell on the wood and gasped for breath.
"Damn, it's so tiring. No wonder the videos in the handicraft area are delayed. If I work so hard, I'll have to send myself off. If I finish today, I'm afraid I'll be buried in peace." Shen Wu complained while panting, completely forgetting that Gu Zhou could hear her.
Gu Zhou was washing in the house, not daring to make any noise. He wiped his body with the worn-out cloth he always used. As he watched the water gradually change color, he realized that it was time for him to wash.
Outside, she seemed to be continuing to make the safety chair she mentioned, although Gu Zhou didn't know what the safety chair she was talking about was. She knocked the bamboo until it made a loud bang, and Gu Zhou's thoughts became a little confused.
He didn't know why he believed her words. Someone was promising him a happy ending, and the person was the one he hated the most. If it were in the past, he would have asked her to get lost long ago. However, after she woke up, she successfully changed Gu Zhou's mind with her actions.
After resting for a long time, Shen Wu came back to life. She went to the kitchen, scooped some raw water and drank a big bowl of it. The cold river water relieved her heat a lot. After drinking it, she realized that she couldn't drink raw water. She was speechless, and then she comforted herself: "It's okay. I drank water like this when I was a child at my grandma's house, and nothing happened."
She stood in the kitchen and looked at the chair she was almost finished making under the wooden shed in the yard. She put down her bowl, picked up the fire starter on the table and went back to work.
She first took a few of the thinnest firewood, lit them with a tinder, and then placed the thin bamboo on top to roast them.
In order to prevent children from being hurt by her rough workmanship, she planned to use thin bamboo that had been bent and baked to make a protective layer.
Actually, it was because it was too big... She didn't want to change it, so she added another layer that was just a little smaller to hold down the bamboo strips that would be installed later, and she could also hang thick cloth on it in winter.
Shen Wu felt that his idea was extremely clever, and it killed three birds with one stone. It not only solved the problem of putting bamboo strips on later, but also solved the problem of making the thing bigger. Moreover, in winter, thick cloth could be hung for his younger brother to sit on.
The fire was burning very vigorously. Shen Wu first cut a longer piece of wood and inserted it into the main body to serve as the armrest to roast. This was simple. He just had to roast it into an arc in the middle.
Shen Wu let the middle of the thin bamboo sink into the uppermost part of the flame. The flame roasted the bamboo and juice came out, making a crackling sound. After the outer skin turned from green to black, he quickly took it away and held both ends with both hands, pushing inwards.
The bamboo was easily bent after being roasted, and even a little girl like her could press it.
After getting the curvature similar, Shen Wu tried it on the finished frame. It was almost the same as she expected. The bamboo was slightly larger than the frame, so when she drilled the hole and inserted it into the bamboo, she could just bake it again to make corrections.
The support part at the back of the chair has been completed, and the inner layer is left. The inner layer requires two thin bamboos that are longer than the back. Fortunately, I was able to cut enough.
She measured the length of the inner layer from the side to the back and then to the side with the fabric, leaving a section for error measurement and insertion into the main body.
The machete was an extremely useful tool for her in making chairs. After chopping the bamboo a few more times, she began to roast it.
This time the two bamboos were to be in a semi-oval shape. She first made one in the middle and put it aside to cool while roasting the other one.
When the other one is ready, put it down and pick up the first one. At this time, the arcs of the two books will not burn your hands.
She had already gotten the hang of baking this, and she quickly finished it and tested the effect on the main body.
Very good, just as she thought. I will put some bamboo pieces on it and try the position of it on the main body later.
She put out the last of the fire, then sat down exhausted and panted. Working by the fire was not a human job. She was sweating and feeling dizzy from the sun, but she insisted on finishing the job before she almost died.
The sun was now blocked by clouds. Shen Wu leaned against the pile of wood, lost in thought, his eyes unfocused, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Gu Zhou stood at the door holding the dirty clothes and said in a low voice, "I'm done washing."
Gu Zhou didn’t know how long he had been washing. The warm water and the room went from being stuffy at the beginning to being normal later.
He used the method Shen Wu told him to wash his body with soap nuts. After washing, his skin felt a little tight, but he felt very relaxed.
Shen Wu didn't hear his voice and was still immersed in her memories.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Zhou put the old clothes in the broken basket at the door and walked over to her: "Are you... okay?"
