A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu carefully entered the room on the side of the main hall. She had never been in this room before, so this was her first time here.

Before entering the door, I saw Gu Zhou sleeping soundly on a bed made of broken straw.

Shen Wu really didn't foresee that this family could be so poor, and for a moment he felt a surge of bitterness in his heart.

Her family was also poor when she was young.

My grandmother told me that our home was a thatched hut at that time, which could only block the wind and snow but not the rain. Later, after the reform and opening up, the national policies improved, and our family gradually got better.

Shen Wu walked over gently, squatted down in front of the grass bed, and called softly: "Gu Zhou? Gu Zhou? Wake up, it's time to eat!"

It wasn't that she meant to disturb other people's sweet dreams, she just had to eat.

He ate little in the morning because he went with the buns seller. He was busy all morning and only ate that little. Then he helped with so many things on the way back. Boys of this age need to grow, and if they don't eat on time, they might get stomach problems due to hunger.

Gu Zhou was sleeping soundly when he vaguely heard someone calling him. He subconsciously thought it was his mother, but when he opened his eyes he found it was her.

"I fell asleep? Get up now."

Gu Zhou sat up slowly. He was so sleepy that he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

Seeing that he was still sleepy, Shen Wu said worriedly: "Do you want to go wash your face? If it wasn't time for lunch, I would definitely let you sleep a little longer and not wake you up."

Gu Zhou rubbed his eyes, got out of bed and shook his head: "It's okay, I just need to take a nap if I feel sleepy in the afternoon."

Shen Wu was afraid that the food outside would not taste good soon, so she quickly called him out.

Gu Zhou followed him out of the house and saw his younger sister and aunt sitting at the table.

"Auntie, why don't you eat? Auntie, please try the noodles I made."

Shen Wu hurried forward, took the bowls that had been placed there, and picked out a bowl of noodles for his aunt.

Aunt He was naturally waiting for them. Seeing Shen Wu was about to help her with the meal, she quickly took over and said, "No, no, no, just let Auntie do it yourself."

How could she snatch the food from Shen Wu? Shen Wu was a veteran with decades of experience in cooking for eight people. He filled the bowl in the process.

Gu Zhou also followed suit and advised: "Aunt, please sit down. You don't have to wait for us. You eat first. I'll go wash my face first."

Gu Zhou went out to wash his face, and Shen Wu picked noodles for Xiao Wei.

The bowls at home were all old-fashioned gray bowls. Although they were not good-looking in style, they were large enough to hold a lot of food. He directly picked out half a bowl for Xiaowei.

"If you can't finish it, come back and pick it up, Xiaowei," Shen Wu handed over the bowl and instructed.

Xiao Wei couldn't wait any longer and stared at the bowl with shining eyes. As soon as Jiang Yu handed it to her, she couldn't wait to take the chopsticks and put the noodles into her mouth.

Shen Wu also made a full bowl of noodles for Gu Zhou and placed it on his seat before making his own.

Shen Wu was sitting at his seat when Gu Zhou came back. He picked up the juicy noodles and swallowed his saliva.

"Yuwa, your noodles are so delicious! How did you make them? They are so delicious!" Aunt He asked subconsciously.

Suddenly I remembered that the child wanted to sell it, so I quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot you were going to buy it."

Gu Wei didn't care what they said at all. She lowered her head and ate everything in the bowl, then reached out to pick more.

Shen Wu swallowed the noodles in his mouth and smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay, Auntie, I'm just thinking about it. It will take some time before I can sell it in town. Noodles are easy to make. After kneading the dough, roll it into thin skin, stack it layer by layer and cut it into similar width. Boil the noodles, take them out and rinse them with cool boiled water. The vegetables mixed here are blanched in advance, just add some salt and some peppercorns and Sichuan pepper powder and mix them. If you want to eat more, pour hot oil on it and mix it, it will taste better!"

Gu Zhou also finished one bowl and stood up to pick up the second bowl.

Fortunately, Shen Wu made a lot and filled a large deep basin at home. He was not worried that they would not have enough to eat, but he was worried that they would be too full.

When my aunt heard so many steps, she swallowed the last spoonful of noodles in the bowl and exclaimed: "Oh my, no wonder it tastes so good, it turns out it is so troublesome."

Shen Wu hurriedly urged her: "Since it's delicious, please eat more. I made a lot. If you don't eat more, we children won't be able to finish it."

She did it on purpose, deliberately making more and deliberately letting her aunt come to eat.

It wasn't that she wanted to ask them to help her, it was just that this family was very kind, knowing what she had done with her body and still willing to help. Their simplicity reminded Shen Wu of her former neighbors. She didn't have anything to give in return, except cooking, so she could only give this as a reward.

My aunt ordered another bowl and then started to taste the other dishes on the table.

"Purslane and wild amaranth! Yuwa, your cooking skills are so good."

My aunt took another big mouthful of noodles. It was hot outside, and the noodles at room temperature tasted great with rice.

"If you like it, eat more." Shen Wu finished his bowl, thought about it and ordered another bowl.

~~~~~

After lunch, the aunt wanted to help wash the dishes, but Shen Wu quickly sent her away: "You are already helping us a lot by coming here to help look after my younger brother. Don't be like this. If you have nothing to do, just take a rest."

Gu Zhou and Shen Wu took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen. The large bowl of noodles from lunch was finished. There was still a small half bowl left in the kitchen, which Shen Wu deliberately left to take back to her aunt.

Putting the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwashing basin, Shen Wu gestured to Gu Zhou: "Take this back to your aunt later. This is specially left for your uncle and his children."

Gu Zhou didn't expect that after she had done so much, her uncle and A Yan also had a part in it. She was shocked.

"Auntie doesn't have to go back now. I'll wash the dishes first and go later." Gu Zhou rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action, but Shen Wu quickly pulled him away.

"Let me do it. There might be some oil today. I don't know where I put the dishes last time. This time I'll try wood ash."

Gu Zhou has been doing all kinds of work since he was a child, so naturally he wanted to help.

Seeing that he was still not leaving, Shen Wu said with some distress: "Please help me, I am not familiar with my aunt's family, and if they ask me questions here and there, I don't know what to say."

Gu Zhou thought so too and nodded in agreement.

When Shen Wu saw that he agreed, he quickly told him to go out and let him work here.

As soon as Gu Zhou came out of the kitchen, he saw his aunt walking out with something in her hand. He asked curiously, "Aunt, are you going home?"

"No, I suddenly remembered that Yan'er wore some clothes when he was a child. The material was pretty good. They are just lying there now. I think the material of my brother's outer clothes is not good. It is easy to get red spots if he wears them too much, and he may get diarrhea if he gets cold. So I took the clothes from home and let the child wear them first."

Gu Zhou quickly stopped him: "How can you do that! Won't you give your child's clothes to Sister Yan'er's child?!"

Aunt He thought he was embarrassed, and knowing this, she laughed out loud: "Haha, boy Gu, you are still young and don't know. It takes some time for a girl to give birth. Yan'er's baby won't be born until winter. Clothes are meant to be worn in summer, not in winter. You might as well let your younger brother wear them first."

Gu Zhou wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, his aunt waved her hand and walked out: "I'll go back and get it first, while my little brother is sleeping soundly. It will be difficult to get it if I go back later."

When Gu Zhou saw his aunt leave, he quickly turned around and picked up the basin.

Of course Shen Wu also heard it: "Just wear it if Auntie gives it to you. Can I give you some cloth in return when I make money in the future?" Shen Wu didn't know what favors were considered in ancient times, so he could only make this suggestion.

Gu Zhou didn't reply, and walked out with the basin in his hand: "I'll go and see you off, and I'll be back later."
