A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu asked back: "Are you scared?"

Gu Zhou thought of himself as a man of great ability and the eldest in the family. He shook his head and looked at Jiang Yu with a firm gaze: "Of course I'm not afraid."

"That's it." Shen Wu felt like a bad woman, tricking a child into taking risks with her, but in ancient times, if you don't take risks, how long can you live with all these children? In modern times, it's hard to move forward without money, let alone in a dynasty that doesn't even exist in history.

She could understand Gu Zhou's concerns and spoke again: "It doesn't have to be like this. It's just my plan. Let's take it one step at a time and see what happens. We'll talk about it when the time comes. There's no rush now."

Gu Zhou nodded and didn't continue the topic.

Seeing that there was still half of the road to go, Shen Wu thought of what happened before and asked, "Does it rain a lot here in autumn? How heavy is the rain and how long does it last?"

Gu Zhou thought for a while about the rainfall in autumn in the previous seasons and said, "It basically rains every three or four days, and each time for about two days. The rainfall... when it's light, the water in the fields is up to the ankles. If it's deep, the black valley will be flooded and mud and rocks will come down."

Shen Wu didn't know where the Black Valley he was talking about was, but if it was serious enough to cause a mudslide... it must have been a heavy rainstorm! She was a little worried, afraid that something unexpected would happen this fall.

Seeing her serious face, Gu Zhou was afraid that he had scared her, and hurriedly said: "If it doesn't rain in autumn, the water will rise and mud and rocks will flow. I have only seen it two or three times. Moreover, the Black Valley is not close to our village. The mud and rocks basically stop at the foot of the mountain and cannot reach the village."

Shen Wu knew that he was trying to comfort herself, so she covered her mouth and laughed: "Thank you."

Gu Zhou was a little confused by her thanks, and before he could ask again he heard her ask.

"Do you have a good winter? How do you live? I don't see any quilts or cotton clothes in your home."

Gu Zhou was very confused about the cotton-padded quilts and cotton-padded clothes she mentioned. Although he didn't know what they were, he still logically inferred that they should be warm clothes. Thinking of the past winter experience, Gu Zhou was a little depressed: "Winter... is not easy. In autumn, we have to prepare piles of firewood early. Cotton-padded clothes, I don't know what you mean by cotton-padded clothes. If you mean clothes to keep warm in winter, then they are the oil-paper clothes and straw clothes that we wear at home. If it is too cold, we will wear a few more pieces and burn firewood in the main room, so we won't feel cold. As for quilts, I don't know even more. In winter, I cover them with more. It is much better to lie in the same room with my parents and sister. It will be warmer if I put a basin in the room."

Although Shen Wu was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by what he said. This was even poorer than he had imagined. It seemed that he needed to prepare some things for the winter in advance.

She thought about what else could keep her warm in winter besides quilts, and after a lot of elimination, she finally locked onto one thing: "Is there any cattail reed or something like that near my house?"

Gu Zhou didn't understand why she suddenly asked this question. He thought for a while and said, "There's one by the river. What's the problem? Do you need it?" He already fully understood that whatever she asked must be useful.

"Yes, and we need quite a lot."

"Then I'll get it for you when I have time when I get back."

"No rush, just finish collecting them before winter."

Seeing that Gu Zhou didn't ask, Shen Wu thought of teasing him: "Why don't you ask me what I'm going to use it for?"

Gu Zhou said very seriously: "You will definitely be useful."

His look somehow touched Shen Wu's funny spot, making her laugh out loud: "Hahahaha, aren't you afraid that I will sell you out with this thing!"

The more he heard her say this, the more Gu Zhou didn't believe she would do that, and replied calmly: "You won't do that. You don't even recognize people or the road, how can you sell me?"

Shen Wu was impressed by this child, a very smart one. It seemed that he would be hard to deceive in the future.

It was only about 10: when they got home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw their aunt busy in the yard. Shen Wu hurried over when he saw her helping with the wash clothes. Gu Zhou went to the main room first to unload the flour on his back.

It's not that Gu Zhou didn't want to help Jiang Yu, it's just that she ran too fast. He was just about to help her, but he saw her rushing over to find her aunt. Thinking that he still had to dig bamboo shoots in the afternoon, he decided to unload the things in the backpack first.

"My dear aunt, please don't freeze your hands anymore. It's already a big trouble for you to help look after my younger brother, how can I ask you to help with the housework!" Shen Wu wanted to pull her up but she forgot that she was carrying rice. She half-knelt to pull her aunt up but instead failed and almost fell on her aunt's face.

Seeing that the child could hardly stand up, Aunt He hurriedly helped him to stand up and asked curiously what he was carrying: "Child, what is that heavy you are carrying?"

Shen Wu felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of letting his aunt take a rest, he ended up asking her for help: "Here are ten kilograms of rice, prepared for my little brother."

When Aunt He heard this, she quickly accused her of wasting money: "You child, how can your little brother eat so much? Besides, he will be one year old this winter and can soon eat porridge. Buying so much rice in such a hot day will easily cause rice weevils."

"Ah! Ah, I, I don't know." Shen Wu lowered his head. He always had the feeling that his mother scolded him for buying too many things.

Aunt He sighed and helped her take off the backpack: "Auntie forgot that you don't remember, I'll go to town with you this afternoon to see if the extra money can be returned." Aunt He didn't know how much money they could make from selling the buns, but she felt that it was not easy for a child to earn pennies, and it would be hard to say anything if a forgetful child spent it carelessly.

Gu Zhou listened to the noise outside, and hurriedly put the flour away and went out to get the rice, helping out while saying, "Aunt, I asked you to buy more. My sister is still growing and needs to eat some rice porridge. It's better to buy more at one time so that we don't have to carry it back and forth."

After hearing what Gu Zhou said, the aunt naturally had nothing to say, as the child had his own plans. Speaking of my younger brother, I remembered something: "Today, your uncle and I went to the field and saw that your seedlings had sprouted. We were supposed to water them in a few days, but I think it will rain, so we don't need to water them then." At this point, Aunt He's tone changed and she asked in confusion: "But why is your field like that? It's all in rows, and seedlings are sprouting in the middle like ridges."

Gu Zhou put the rice back in the main room. He had been to the field yesterday and saw the seedlings sprouting: "Don't worry, auntie. If it doesn't rain by then, I'll fetch water." He didn't answer about the field, as he didn't know how to answer.

Shen Wu quickly changed the subject: "Aunt! Is my brother asleep?"

"Oh, you see, I forgot to tell you. He just finished eating and was sleepy after a while. My little sister is watching him. I thought I should wash his diaper quickly while he is sleeping, and it will be dry when he wakes up."

At this point, Shen Wu stopped trying to stop them. Why didn't you ask her why? Aunt He had already wrung out the diaper and hung it on the rope, so why was she trying to stop them? !
