After dinner, Shen Wu boiled some hot water and took a bath.

She is going out to sell food tomorrow, so she naturally has to dress herself up and wear cleaner clothes.

After taking a shower, she sat in the yard in a daze, looking at the starry sky and thinking about her past.

At this moment, Shen Wu missed home very much and wanted to go back to the modern era and be that stay-at-home office girl again.

A breeze blew, blowing up her half-dry hair, bringing with it the scent of soapberries. She touched the tips of her hair and found that they were no longer dripping with water, but the part close to her scalp was still very damp.

She wasn't sure what time it was, so she found a piece of cloth to tie up her hair slightly and went to the kitchen to check the dough she had kneaded while cooking.

I don't know if it's because it was placed next to the stove, but the dough has risen well and is a circle bigger than before. I put the lid back on and went back to the yard, and saw Gu Zhou playing outside with his younger brother.

"How is it? Is the chair okay?" Shen Wu pulled down her hairband and spoke.

"It works well, thank you." Gu Zhou turned around to look at her. He couldn't see her expression clearly because of the dark, but he could tell from her voice that she was very happy.

Shen Wu walked over, got a wooden stool and sat next to the bamboo chair, touching her little brother's hand: "Oh, my little cutie, touch my paw. You must grow up safely so that you can inherit your sister's hundreds of billions of assets in the future!"

Her words and her confidence surprised Gu Zhou: "Are you so sure that you can make a lot of money?"

Shen Wu chuckled, tilted his head to look at him, and began his own performance mode: "Little brother, you have to understand that I have lived many more years than you, and my skills are definitely good enough. Even if no one comes to buy them in the future, I can still make all kinds of new things to attract popularity."

"How can a temporary plan last long?" Gu Zhou did not agree with what she said.

Shen Wu was surprised that such an insightful idea could be possessed by such a young child. When he was his age, he was immersed in cartoons every day and could not extricate himself: "Although humans are humans, they are also a kind of advanced animals. Scarcity makes things valuable, you know that? As long as I can get started and make money, I can keep it going."

It's no wonder Shen Wu was surprised. She had been out of society for too long and rarely talked to people. She usually went to get off work and completed tasks. When she got home, she would lie down and play games, check her phone when she wasn't emo, and lie down with headphones on to sleep when she felt uncomfortable.

Gu Zhou's family situation was very different from her understanding. Her knowledge of the world was only as small as a grain of rice, and her understanding of Gu Zhou was only what she had seen during the past few days.

"Okay, then it depends on how you do it." Gu Zhou felt like he was split into two halves, one half believed what she said, and the other half was full of fear.

The evening breeze was very comfortable. Shen Wu put his hand into his hair and touched it. The roots of his hair were still a little damp, but much better than before.

She didn't say anything, just looked at the starry sky with a long gaze.

Gu Zhou also didn't say anything, and occasionally used his hands to protect his brother who was moving around in the chair.

"Ah...ah!" Little brother Gu stretched out his hand to touch the black hair swaying in front of his eyes. He was too small to catch it. The hair was fluttering in the breeze, and it was difficult for a child to catch it.

When Shen Wu heard him call, she turned around to look. The child was very interested in her hair and reached out to grab it, but she couldn't hold it. The child waved his hand in the air, looking very cute.

Shen Wu reached out and grabbed his face, asking him to imitate her. The child was not learning at all, he just opened his mouth and said "ah" and she took the opportunity to move closer and lift his chin to look at his mouth: "He has such small teeth, let's see if there are any eggs to buy and boil for him tomorrow."

The child thought Shen Wu was playing with him, so he reached out to hook her hair that was hanging on her chest.

Gu Zhou didn't move. Shen Wu asked him to come over and take a look at his teeth, and then he came over.

"Look, I have white teeth, I can eat soft food now."

"I'm not sure what my little brother can eat. My sister used to be breastfed. I'll ask my aunt tomorrow."

"I don't know either. I've never raised a child before, and I'm afraid I might raise him to death."

Gu Zhou didn't know how to respond to her words, and the two sat there in silence for a while. Gu Xiaodi was so sleepy that he leaned back on the chair and fell asleep. Shen Wu saw that it was already late, so she helped Gu Zhou take the chair back to the house so that he could rest early.

Shen Wu lay back on the bed and couldn't sleep. When she took a shower today, she took off the bed sheet and washed it with the bath water. Now she was lying in the yard. The bed was just a bare wooden board, which was a bit uncomfortable.

~~~

I don't know when Shen Wu woke up, it was still dark outside. She didn't know what time it was, but she woke up and prepared to start working.

She tied her hair up and went to the kitchen in the dark to light the fire and put half a pot of water on fire. Then she washed her hands and began to prepare the ingredients for the bamboo shoot buns.

The fire in the dark kitchen suddenly lit up the whole room. She washed her hands and went to the chopping board, took out the bamboo shoots from the basin and sliced ​​them all.

It is a big project to slice and shred more than a dozen bamboo shoots. She got up early and started now, so the buns can rise a second time later.

Using the firelight, she quickly cut the bamboo shoots into slices with a knife, and then into shreds.

She was used to cutting one bamboo shoot into slices and then shredding it, then putting it in a bowl and then taking the next one.

After cutting four or five times, her wrist felt a little sore. The knife was still a bit heavy for her body, so she had to stop and rest after cutting a little before continuing.

After a while, her hands no longer felt so uncomfortable and she started chopping bamboo shoots again. Just then, Gu Zhou arrived at the kitchen door. He squatted down and washed his hands in the basin at the door, then wiped them with the cloth hanging at the door before coming in: "Did you wake up early?"

Shen Wu didn't look up. He stopped after cutting the last piece and replied, "No, I just woke up. I don't know what time it is now. Anyway, I will start working when I wake up. It's better to start early than late."

"Let me do it." Gu Zhou stepped forward, picked up the knife and took over Shen Wu's job.

Shen Wu was not idle either. He turned around to plant onions and garlic: "I wanted you to sleep a little longer, but I didn't expect that I would wake you up."

Gu Zhou's subordinates kept saying: "I just woke up and came out to cool down, then I saw the light in the kitchen and thought you woke up." He didn't tell the truth, in fact, he woke up because of the sound of cutting vegetables.

"That's a coincidence." Shen Wu washed the onions and garlic and put them in a bowl, then came back to take Gu Zhou's side: "It's my turn later. I'll cut the onions and garlic into strips and slices and put them in too."

"No, just let me do it, you don't have to do it anymore."

Seeing that he had no intention of changing positions, Shen Wu changed her approach and asked, "Are your hands tired? How about I take over?"

Gu Zhou was unwilling, the knife was not heavy for him: "It's not tiring, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll finish here and boil it."

Shen Wu wanted to be busy, but she couldn't be busy anymore. She could only stand aside and watch: "There's nothing else I can do. You take over the heaviest work and I..."

She hadn't finished her words when she thought of the opportunity to make the dough and immediately changed her mind: "Okay, thank you for your help, I'll knead the dough and roll it out later."

The two of them divided the work, one cut into strips and slices while the other kneaded the dough and released the air. Their efficiency was much higher than that of one person alone.
