A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu called Gu Wei in and asked her to take off her clothes and sit in the big tub to soak in it: "It may be a little hot, but it will be fine after a while."

Gu Wei obediently went in and sat in the basin, watching Shen Wu take the small bag and put it into the water to soak it, and asked in confusion: "What is this?!"

Shen Wu rubbed the soap bean bag and said: "This is soap bean. I smashed it into pieces with something and put it in a small piece of cloth to wrap it. When you take a bath or wash your hair, just soak it for a while and rub it."

"So awesome!" Gu Wei looked at Jiang Yu in admiration.

Shen Wu asked her to close her eyes, wet her hair with a cloth dipped in water, and then washed her hair with soap.

She was often abused by her mother when she was a child, so she thought she must be gentle when washing Gu Wei, but as she washed, she became heavier.

Although Gu Wei was young, her hair was very long and reached her shoulders. Shen Wu washed her hair three or four times before it was done.

After washing her hair, he took a bath and carefully rinsed off the foam on her body before stopping.

"Come out quickly," Shen Wu said holding a towel, asking Gu Wei to come out quickly, dry herself, and then go out to bask in the sun.

Gu Wei obediently got out of the water and stood on the ground. The ground was compacted with soil, so although dust would not be stirred up when people walked on it, some soil would still stick to their feet.

Gu Zhou and Gu Wei have always worn straw sandals, and after Shen Wu came, they have been wearing cloth shoes. Although they wash their feet every day, they still feel uncomfortable in the summer.

She also wanted to wear straw sandals... Shen Wu used a cloth to wipe Gu Wei's upper body clean, quickly helped her put on new clothes, and then asked her to sit at the head of her bed while she washed Gu Wei's feet again.

After drying her legs, he quickly helped Gu Wei put on her pants and asked her to go out in the sun with a towel: "Find a stool and sit in the sun in the main room to dry your hair. Just don't expose yourself to the sun. I'll do your hair after that."

"Okay," Gu Wei agreed and pushed the door open to go out. Shen Wu packed up the dirty clothes in the room and would go to the river to wash them in the afternoon.

Shen Wu pushed open the door and found Gu Zhou making her bamboo strips. She pretended to be angry and asked, "Where is my brother? Why are you doing my work!"

Gu Zhou was very smart. She knew how to place the bamboo strips through the rough framework she made, and now she was installing the bamboo strips exactly according to Shen Wu's idea.

"I've been feeling sleepy lately and just went to bed. I saw that you haven't done anything here, so I wanted to come and help." Gu Zhou placed the bamboo strips one by one on the main body she had made, looking at the loose bamboo strips and thinking about the next step.

Hearing that the baby was sleeping a lot, Shen Wu's heart tightened and he quickly asked, "Is he sick? Do you want to go see him?"

Gu Zhou couldn't think of a solution: "It's okay, I asked my aunt. She also examined my younger brother and said there was no problem. She also said it was normal for children to be sleepy in summer, so there's no need to worry. Let him sleep as long as you can. Just make sure he doesn't get his day and night reversed."

"I'm glad you're okay." Shen Wu breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the child might have an accident. Modern medicine isn't as advanced as it used to be, and if the child got sick there might not be enough time to send him to the doctor.

Seeing that Gu Zhou was still studying, Shen Wu went over to him and asked him to get up and do something else: "You should do something else. You don't understand my thinking, so don't do it."

"Okay, I'll get busy then." Gu Zhou stood up, put down the bamboo stick in his hand, and went straight to Shen Wu's room.

Shen Wu was still looking at the bamboo pieces Gu Zhou was placing, and didn't notice what Gu Zhou was doing. Gu Zhou was carrying water out with a bucket, and Shen Wu happened to see him.

"Hey! What are you doing! Put me down!" She went over to help, but Gu Zhou walked around her and headed for the door.

"Don't touch it, the water is very heavy, let me do it."

Shen Wu had gained some understanding of him, and after discussing it, the two of them took the basins and poured out all the water.

It was around four o'clock when they finished all that. Shen Wu looked at the chairs in the shed that were almost finished and decided to do this first.

~~~

She returned to the wooden shed again and began to press the bamboo strips. It seemed that Gu Zhou had trimmed the edges of all the bamboo strips when she was giving Gu Wei a bath, and the bamboo strips felt smooth to the touch.

Shen Wu pressed a large bamboo piece on each end of the bamboo pieces in the order that Gu Zhou had arranged. He then took out the inner layer of small bamboos that had been roasted by fire and pressed them directly on top.

She had already trimmed the inner layer of bamboo so that there would be no part at the tip that could prick people, so she could just press it into the hole that had been dug previously.

She was afraid that it was not strong enough, so she used a cloth-wrapped wooden stick to knock hard on the chair in different locations.

Gu Zhou came over and saw the final result before he understood what she meant by that.

"So that's how it's done. No wonder I didn't think of it. It was because the bamboo inside was missing. You're so smart."

Shen Wu was praised by him and said proudly: "Not really, this method is also a helpless measure. If I had a more useful tool, I would not use this method. And my work is rather rough, so I have to thank you for trimming the bamboo strips for me, otherwise there would be burrs on it, and the children would cry if they sat on it."

"It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway, so I just do it."

Shen Wu still hadn't done the last part, the bamboo handshake. Seeing that he had always wanted to help, it was a good opportunity now to do so.

"Do you want to help? It will be useful when it's done."

"it is good"

Gu Zhou stepped forward and held the chair according to Shen Wu's instructions. Shen Wu first inserted one end of a small bamboo that had been bent in advance into the hole on it, and then pressed the other end hard into the net and pressed it into another large bamboo.

Shen Wu used so much force that her face twisted and she gritted her teeth, and finally with a click, the bamboo was installed. She was afraid it was not tight and hit it again with the wooden stick.

"Alright!!! It's done!" Shen Wu threw the wooden stick away and pointed the safety chair towards Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou looked at it as an ordinary chair with a table, and wondered if he could really sit on it. He pointed at the big opening facing him and said, "You...are you mistaken? With such a big opening, I can just crawl out."

"Forget about that." Shen Wu chuckled and asked him to go back to the house to find some scraps of cloth.

Gu Zhou was very confused by her request. After her repeated requests, he went back to the house and took out his torn clothes. The clothes were full of patches from years of wearing, and the patches were piled on top of each other and could not be mended anymore.

Shen Wu took the torn clothes, cut a very wide strip with the scissors, and began to sew it in front of him.

The strips of cloth were sewn into a belt, and because it took Shen Wu some time to make it, fortunately she could sew flat with her eyes closed, and her hand speed was no problem.

Pass the prepared cloth strips through the small bamboo and large bamboo in the inner frame, and tie the knot on the outside. In this way, a child safety chair with a basket is ready.

Gu Zhou looked at this thing and still had some doubts as to whether his younger brother could sit on it, but he didn't say it out loud.

It ached to see Shen Wu cutting his old clothes into strips.

Shen Wu tore all the clothes into strips. Since she was so torn, she would not wear them anyway, so she might as well use them as the outermost cloth wrapping the chair.

She asked Gu Zhou to help, and the two of them wrapped the entire inner frame with cloth.
