A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

The chicken was quite big, and after removing the feathers it must have weighed several pounds. There was also a lot of chicken soup, and it was estimated that even if it was eaten with the other dishes, we would not be able to finish it, so I discussed with Gu Zhou to get a bowl for my aunt.

Gu Zhou looked at the large basin on the table and then at the steamed dishes from lunch: "There are still some dishes left over from lunch. We really can't finish this chicken. Auntie usually takes care of us a lot, so we should take some away. I'll get a bowl and fill it up for Auntie, and you and my little sister can eat at home first."

Although it was dark now, for the country people, it was no different from just after dark and they could still see. Gu Zhou found the best and largest bowl in the house and filled it with chicken.

She was afraid of burning herself, so she found a piece of cloth to pad her hands. Although it was totally unnecessary for Gu Zhou, he still felt a little imperceptible warmth in his heart when he held it in his hands.

He never thought that there would be a day like this, walking through the twilight road, with the endless chirping of animals on both sides, holding a bowl in his hands, and feeling so happy.

"Auntie, have you eaten? Please help look after me. I'm here to take me back." Gu Zhou stood in the night. The summer breeze gently caressed his body, and the originally hot weather seemed a little cool.

"Gu boy, why are you here so soon! I thought it would take a while, come in quickly." Aunt Gu had just finished cooking and was about to invite her boss to eat when she saw Gu Zhou coming at the door and quickly called him in.

"There's too much chicken made by Jiang Yu at home and we can't finish it. Aunt and uncle have been helping us these days, and there's nothing much to thank them for, so I can only serve you a bowl of chicken."

After saying that, he smiled embarrassedly and asked, "Where should I put it for you?"

"You child...ah~good boy, you have suffered a lot." Aunt He was embarrassed to refuse, so she took it and said: "Please leave this bowl at my house first. How about I wash it and bring it to you?"

Gu Zhou was just about to ask for help when he heard his aunt say, "Aren't you going to take my little brother back home? The road is dark at night and it's not convenient to carry the bowl. It's safe to leave it at your house. I'll deliver it to you tomorrow."

Gu Zhou thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Hey! Boy Gu is here! It's just right, how about you guys have dinner at your uncle Li's house tonight?" Li Youfu just came back from outside and took his boy who had gone to his grandmother's house with him.

"Boss, don't tell me that I want to stay. Jiang Yu and Gu Wei are waiting for Gu at home for dinner, so he can't eat here. Look, the freshly cooked chicken at home is brought to us." As she said this, the aunt raised her hand to show the two of them the bowl full of meat in her hand.

"Kid, why don't you keep the chicken for yourself? Why do you serve it to us? You are all half-grown kids and it is the time for you to replenish your nutrition. Why are you serving us now?" Li Youfu felt distressed and uncomfortable when he saw the skinny boy in the yard. He didn't realize that his wife was talking about chicken. He realized it belatedly after she finished speaking.

He immediately asked, "Chicken? Where did you get it, Gu? You didn't go to the back mountain, did you?"

Gu Zhou couldn't lie, but the village didn't allow children to go to the back mountain, so he had to lie: "No, I saw it at the edge of the woods, and it happened to fall into a pit. I took the opportunity to wrap it up with clothes and took it home."

"It's good that you didn't go." Li Youfu was afraid that the child went to the back mountain. There were too many wild beasts in the mountain. It would be okay to go to the edge, but if he went too deep, he might be eaten by some wild beast without knowing it.

While the two were talking, Li Yan, who was standing behind Li Youfu, pretended to be silent, but was actually blinking frantically behind his father.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to this good friend, it was just that he had just been caught by his father, and now he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would be scolded again. He had been at his grandmother's house for a season and had not returned. On the way, he also heard about Ah Zhou's story. Although he couldn't speak, he could only wink behind his father.

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't go. Uncle, let's eat quickly. It's getting dark and we have to light the oil lamps if it's any later. I'll take my younger brother back." Gu Zhou hurriedly told the purpose of this trip to take his younger brother back. If they continued chatting, they would delay his aunt's dinner.

The aunt took the younger brother out and handed him to Gu Zhou's arms: "It's not long since we had dinner, and you came just after sleeping for less than a minute. I'm afraid he is too tired today and he can't wake up after all this tossing and turning. When we get back, just put him on the bed and make sure he gets some sleep."

"Oh! I understand, aunt. You guys eat first, I'll take my brother back first." After saying that, he quickly got up and left.

Gu Zhou had no idea how to deal with this kind of situation. It reminded him of when his parents were still alive, his family also got along with his aunt and uncle in this way.

He was eager to go home and saw Ayan's little action, but he didn't do anything else. He hurried home holding his younger brother.

After the people left, Li Youfu sighed deeply and murmured, "The Gu family... has it so hard." As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Li Yan who was still winking at Gu Zhou and was very angry.

"You, you!!!! I told you to stop making trouble, but you are still making faces here. I'll send you to your grandma's house, where you will be spoiled like a lawless person!"

When Li Yan heard what his father said, his body reacted faster than his brain and he shouted, "Mom! I'm hungry!" Then he rushed into the house and prepared to eat.

Gu Zhou held his little brother and walked home carefully. He had good eyesight and could see the road clearly even though it was dark. He walked home holding his sleeping little brother. Before he got home, he saw a man holding an oil lamp waiting on the slope.

The oil lamp was actually not very bright, and the light was like a spark splashing out of a stove, but in his eyes at that moment it was brighter than the candles and lanterns in the town.

He thought she was the only one waiting, but when he got closer he saw her younger sister was there too.

"Why are you here? Aren't you going to eat first?" Gu Zhou asked while holding his younger brother.

Shen Wu finally waited for the person to come back, fearing that something might happen on the way. Hearing Gu Zhou's words, he teased, "How are we going to eat if we are short of someone? We have eaten everything and come back. What will you eat?"

Gu Zhou felt a little embarrassed when he heard her say: "Sorry, I'm back late."

Shen Wu didn't answer and quickly asked Gu Wei to go in with him.

"Brother, is my little brother asleep?" Gu Wei looked up curiously at her younger brother in her brother's arms. Because it was dark and she was short, she couldn't see anything. It was all black.

Gu Zhou followed Shen Wu into the house, holding his sister's hand: "My little brother is asleep. Let me put him on the bed first. You and Jiang Yu can eat first."

Naturally, Gu Wei would not eat first. Although she was small, she was not an ignorant child. She would wait for her brother to come back and everyone at the table would be together before she started eating.

When Gu Zhou came back after putting his brother away, the oil lamp in the middle of the table was still on. Although it was not very bright, it was bright enough to see the dishes. They saw that the two of them did not move their chopsticks and sat waiting for him to sit down.

Three bowls of rice soup and a bowl of steamed vegetables were placed on the table, along with the chicken he had caught that afternoon. The rice soup had already been served and cooled for him to drink, and a thin layer of crust had already formed on the top of the soup.
