There was still some time before noon. Shen Wu looked at the kitchen and didn't know what to cook for lunch. The sun was very hot outside. Looking at the water Gu Zhou brought back, she felt like eating noodles!

Thinking of this, she felt like drooling, and she quickly found the dough bowl and started kneading the dough. It was hot, so she didn't leave any old dough, and felt that half-risen would be fine.

She first boiled a large pot of hot water, found a basin to boil it, drained the water, found something to cover it to prevent dust, and kneaded half a basin of noodles in the hot steam from the kitchen.

Shen Wu was so tired that sweat broke out on his back. He stopped when he saw that his face was bare and his hands were exhausted.

She found a warm place outside and moved the basin covered with a cloth over there. Aunt He never stopped, and who knew what she was doing. Shen Wu tried to stop her when she saw her, but she couldn't stop her, so she stopped following her.

Seeing that my aunt was putting clothes together again, I quickly stood up and asked with a smile: "Aunt, let's eat here at noon! I have too much noodles, can you please help me with some noodles?"

Aunt He shook the clothes in her hands and hung them up, quickly declining, "I have to go home to cook. If I eat here, won't I eat at home?"

Shen Wu naturally knew that she was being polite, and she had nothing to offer in return, so she could only cook a meal, so she would definitely use this method.

She pretended to be distressed and said with a tearful voice: "If auntie doesn't help me with the food, what should I do with all this leftover noodles?"

Aunt He put away the last piece of clothing in her hand, walked over to Shen Wu, and said earnestly: "Child, I know you have good intentions. This white flour is not cheap. You can use it to buy buns, but how can you eat this every day and find excuses for us to eat it?"

Aunt He didn't like beating around the bush. She could see that she wanted her to eat here, and thought that she was just being polite by eating white flour every day for them: "If you do this again, I won't dare to help you with the work. You have to eat white flour and buns for every work you do. You can't even afford to live like this. Sooner or later, it will be eaten up."

Shen Wu really hadn't considered this issue. In modern times, she ate white flour every day! Now she knew what the ancients thought of her eating white flour every day.

Shen Wu's mind raced, and he quickly found an excuse for himself: "I'm happy that Aunt is thinking about us. The bamboo shoots are almost gone, so I can't just sell buns. I wanted to make some other food to sell! Although it's the end of autumn, the day is still hot. I want to try making some cold noodles. Can you please try it, and if it works, I'll think of how to sell it."

Aunt He saw that she was grinning and looking for an excuse and wanted to say something, but then she saw Shen Wu reach out, grab one of her aunt's hands and shake it.

"Auntie, please help me, Auntie." Shen Wu's body was indeed skinny, but after making so many delicious foods for her in the past few days, she was slowly starting to feel like she had some meat on her body. She started to act like a spoiled child, and she didn't know if it was because of her or someone else, but it turned out to be true.

Aunt He said seriously: "Child, you let your aunt eat and drink for you every day. What will I have to do to pay you back in the future?"

Shen Wu smiled and said: "Aunt has always been here to help me take care of my little brother. Aunt has farm work at home and helps us. I am the one who treats you to a meal."

Aunt He stopped talking nonsense with her and turned back to the house to get other things to wash: "You child, eat here at noon."

After Shen Wu confirmed that his aunt was eating here, he was so happy that he picked up the backpack and was about to go out.

Gu Zhou had just returned with two buckets of water. Seeing that she was about to go out, he quickly said, "Wait a moment, I'll go with you."

He quickly poured the water into a large basin and took out a small hoe from the room where he lived.

"Let's go".

When the aunt saw them go out, she asked, "Why are you out here in such a hot day?"

Gu Zhou knew the rules, and before Shen Wu could say anything, he said, "Let's go to the ground." After that, he hurried out of the courtyard.

Shen Wu saw him move and hurriedly followed him. He dared to speak only when he could no longer see the door: "Thank you! I almost got exposed."

Gu Zhou tightened the small hoe in his hand and said, "I just have to go to the fields to check the situation."

After he finished speaking, Shen Wu realized that he was following Gu Zhou in the direction of the earth.

When he reached the edge of the field and looked at the familiar seedlings in the planting grids, Shen Wu lost consciousness for a moment, then returned to his body following Gu Zhou's voice.

Gu Zhou bent down and grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it. The surface had almost become fine soil and only the bottom was a little moist: "It is indeed a bit dry. If it doesn't rain in a few days, we will have to fetch water."

Of course Shen Wu could see it, and responded, "Okay! We'll water it in the afternoon when we get back from the stall."

Gu Zhou stood up and nodded, agreeing with her.

Gu Zhou led Shen Wu from the field to the woods. Fortunately, it was noon and the seedlings had just been transplanted, so there was no need to take care of them, and no one was seen in the field.

Shen Wu followed Gu Zhou into the woods with confusion: "Is this another road?"

"Yes, you can get through. This road is usually taken by adults."

Shen Wu followed him into the woods, and with her sharp eyes she spotted purslane among the grasses!

She exclaimed and rushed over: "Oh! Good stuff, good stuff!".

When Gu Zhou saw her coming, he turned around and followed her: "Purslane? Do you want to make some for lunch?"

Shen Wu squatted on the ground and had already pulled two by the roots. She concentrated on pulling the third lesson and did not forget to answer Gu Zhou's words: "Yeah! Eating this is good for your health, and you won't get it again if you miss it. It's delicious at this time. I picked all the ones at home before, and I didn't do any other places because they were small. I will be sorry for it if I don't get some of this to grow so big."

Shen Wu tried her best but just couldn't pull it out. Gu Zhou asked her to take a break and he would do it himself: "You take a break, I'll use the hoe. There's no rain this time of year, and you won't be able to get it out if you keep working all the time."

Shen Wu quickly dodged to the side and squatted, and saw Gu Zhou moving the purslane that were bigger than an adult's palm, gathering them together to expose the roots, and then breaking the roots with two hoes.

"How much do you want?" Gu Zhou looked at the film a lot and didn't know how much she wanted, so he asked.

Shen Wu counted the servants and immediately gave a rough estimate: "This whole area is all gone."

Gu Zhou was stunned by her words. He looked up at her. Although he didn't say anything, Shen Wu could see what he meant in his eyes: "So much? Eat like this?"

Shen Wu chuckled and said, “That’s all.”

The two of them started working together and finished the job in less than ten minutes.

After finishing all these, Shen Wu wanted to carry the backpack for a while, but he never expected that someone would take it away and carry it on his back...

Seeing the little brother leading the way in front, Shen Wu stared at his back and said silently: "You little brat! You are as old as I am! Why are you still trying to steal my work?"

Not long after Gu Zhou left, Shen Wu let out another roar and ran to the ground, half bent over and grinning at a piece of vegetables.

"Do you like to eat?".
