A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu returned to the main room. The paste on the table had dried up a bit. She stirred it again to mix it evenly, thinking about how to cut the cloth.

She first folded the cloth in half, went to the room where Gu Zhou lived, took out a sickle, and cut the cloth little by little along the crease.

The sickle had been sharpened before so it wasn't too blunt, so it cut the cloth smoothly.

She cut one layer and then repeated the process to make a mark and then cut again. It only took about ten minutes to cut all the paper she needed.

Putting the sickle under the table to avoid hurting himself, Shen Wu began to apply the first layer of paste.

Since there was no ready-made brush, she used a crude method.

First, lay the cloth flat with the reverse side facing up, then use chopsticks to put a piece of paste on the cloth, pick up a piece of cloth at random, roll it into a ball, hold it in your hand, and spread the paste.

Shen Wu carefully brushed every area several times, and scraped off the excess paste with chopsticks before stopping.

Feeling that the paste was just right, Shen Wu continued with the previous step.

Align the cloth with the previous layer, then spread the paste onto the cloth, rub it with a cloth ball, and scrape the paste with chopsticks, so that another layer is formed.

Shen Wu became more and more skilled. She did five layers of cloth in a group and finished the first group in no time.

She wanted to make shoes for three people, and each person needed five layers of cloth, so she had to make at least four layers of cloth.

But there was not much cloth on hand, so Shen Wu thought about making three sets and using the remaining cloth to make shoe uppers.

After peeling off the first set of cloth, Shen Wu carefully held the two corners of it, stretched out his arms and tried his best not to touch his clothes.

She walked into the yard, looked around, but there was no place to put them to dry...

Forget it, she just found a place where the sun could reach and it would not get in the way and put it directly on the ground.

Although the ground here is not like the cement surface of her old house, the yard is very flat and there is not much dust flying on the ground. After it dries on the ground, it won't be very dirty and can be used after being polished.

Shen Wu laid the cloth out and smoothed it out, then hurried back to the room beside the bed to make the second set.

Gu Zhou pushed open the door, took the washed clothes and towels and prepared to hang them in the yard. He saw the things on the ground from a distance.

He walked over, put the clothes and towels in a neat position away from the thing, and then went over to take a look.

? Have you started starching the cloth?

Gu Zhou first went back into the house to get out the wooden bucket with the water he had used for washing, then washed the basin and stood it up in the yard to dry, and then went to the main room.

Before I entered the door, I saw her bending over and fiddling with something.

"OK! The second group is ready!" Shen Wu happily took the second group and turned to go out, just in time to meet Gu Zhou who came in through the door.

"Wow! It looks good!"

The almost black round-neck front and pleated trousers have a good fit and look good in them even if Gu Zhou has a dark complexion.

Shen Wu held the starched cloth set and looked at him excitedly. What the hell, what's wrong with this kid's temperament? He looks so handsome in his clothes!

She attributed this to the unique temperament of ancient people and did not imagine anything more.

"Is this the other piece that has been starched?" Gu Zhou felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and asked.

"Well! There is still one piece left. I will make shoes after it is dry. By the way! Do you have an awl or something at home? What did your mother use to make the soles of shoes before?"

Speaking of this, Gu Zhou remembered that the hemp left at home might not be enough, so he would have to twist some more later.

"There's an awl. Mother put it in the basket she uses for making things. I'll go find it for you," Gu Zhou said as he was about to go in and look for it.

Shen Wu said quickly: "No hurry! The things are not dry yet!"

Gu Zhou said as he walked: "We have to look for it first. The hemp rope needs to be twisted and soaked in water before we can use it."

"Okay." Shen Wu turned around and quickly went to the yard to put it away.

Gu Zhou forgot that his aunt was there and went into the house to look for something.

"Oh, Yuwa's cooking skills are really good." Aunt He held her little brother and exclaimed in admiration at Gu Zhou who came into the room.

Gu Zhou was stunned for a moment and blushed deeply, but fortunately he was tanned so it wasn't noticeable.

"It's...it's okay."

When Gu Wei saw her brother wearing new clothes, she clamored to wear them too: "I want them too! I want them too! Sister Jiang Yu told Xiaowei to wash her clothes and wear new clothes too!"

Gu Zhou touched the little sister's head and smiled: "Okay, there is a lot of water boiled in the pot, brother will fill the water for you. Wait a minute, brother will find something for us to go over."

Gu Wei was very happy to hear that she could take a bath soon, and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Gu Zhou bent down and rummaged through the basket where his mother put the clothes. Sure enough, the things were there. He took them all out and prepared to take them out later.

"What are you going to do with this?" Aunt He asked in confusion.

"Jiang Yu wants to make a pair of shoes, so I came to find the tools my mother used," said Gu Zhou.

"Shoes too!" Aunt He was even more surprised!

Gu Zhou nodded: "She said yes."

Aunt He looked at Gu wearing the clothes made by Jiang Yu and was surprised: "She... since she got sick, she can really do anything."

Gu Zhou was afraid that his aunt would notice something was wrong, so he quickly spoke up: "She knew how to do it before, but she just didn't make it. Now that her shoes are almost worn out, she said she wants to make a new one."

"No wonder. I was wondering how this child could become ill from so many things." Aunt He nodded, agreeing with Gu Zhou's words.

Gu Zhou took the basket and took the little sister's hand: "Auntie, I will take my little sister to take a bath. If you are tired, I will take my little sister there and come back soon."

Aunt He waved her hand and quickly refused: "It's not a busy farming season these two days, and A Yan has gone out to play again. My boss has gone to town to look for something, and there's no one at home, so I might as well help you here. Besides, you are all half-grown kids, how can you take care of children? It's better for me to do it." As she spoke, she shook the giggling little brother in her arms.

It is common for farmers to help their neighbors, so Gu Zhou was no longer polite: "Thank you, auntie, I'll take my younger sister over first."

Gu Zhou left the house and put the basket on the floor of the main room. Seeing Shen Wu was busy, he asked Gu Wei to wait for him here.

Gu Zhou took the basin that had just been hung out to dry in the yard and put it in the house. He then poured some warm water from the pot into the basin, then fetched half a bucket of cold water to dilute it to about body temperature. That was the end.

"I'll wash my little sister later," Shen Wu, who was putting on the third set of cloth, turned around and said to Gu Zhou who was in the main room.

"it is good!"

Gu Zhou put the wooden barrel back into the kitchen and returned to the main room, where he found that his younger sister was already ready.

The new clothes were neatly folded on the side, with the towels she was going to use on top.

"Is my little sister ready?"

"Yes! It's ready!" Gu Wei was very excited and nodded excitedly: "Can I wash now?"

"Come, let's go over there." Gu Zhou took his little sister's things and pulled them over there.

Shen Wu just entered the main room to clean up the remaining things: "Little sister, please wait in the room for a while, I will take care of the paste."

"No need, let me do it, you take Xiaowei to take a bath," said Gu Zhou.

"Do you know how to deal with this?" Shen Wu asked.

"The extra glue can be used to patch the windows, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Shen Wu clapped his hands, tried his best to get rid of the things stuck on his hands, asked Gu Zhou to hold the things for him, and took Gu Wei to his room to take a shower.
