There was a large bowl on the table, filled with cooked noodles.

There was another bowl of noodles in front of each person's face. The soup with oily spots was matched with green chopped green onions and golden oil residue. The rich aroma of lard and noodles rushed into the nose.

Gu Wei had already been drooling with greed, staring at the noodles in the bowl in front of her, waiting for her brother to speak.

Seeing that she was hungry and wanted to eat but didn't dare to do it, Shen Wu quickly took the child from Gu Zhou's arms and explained to them how to eat.

“The noodles should be mixed like this and eaten with vegetables,” he said, holding the child in one hand to demonstrate to the two of them.

Gu Zhou said: "You... let me hold my little brother, Jiang Yu, you eat first."

Shen Wu usually has no appetite after cooking and is usually the last one to eat: "It's okay, I'm not too hungry yet, you guys eat first, I'll feed my little brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Wei followed Shen Wu's example and mixed the ingredients randomly and started eating.

Gu Zhou copied Shen Wu's movements exactly and mixed the noodles, doing it exactly the same number of times before putting it into his mouth.

While Shen Wu was mixing the noodles, he used a spoon to grind the minced meat paste in the bowl that he made specially for his younger brother into even finer particles.

It was not until it became a thick paste that looked like it had been beaten by a machine that I dared to feed it little by little to the baby in my arms.

Shen Wu dared to make some complementary food for the child only after seeing that the child had grown teeth.

I was afraid something might happen, so I fed the child extra carefully. The food was all in a mushy form, and I only filled a third of the food with a spoon, letting the child eat slowly.

It seems that there is no problem with the child's eating, so I feed him little by little.

I didn’t prepare that much food for the child, so I only made half the size of the big bowl, and the child ate it all.

Shen Wu was afraid that the child would be too full, so she held him while he ate alone to see how he got along.

It was the first time in Gu Wei's life that she had eaten such delicious noodles and dishes.

The noodles are very chewy and the soup is very fragrant, especially the pork and some other vegetables. They taste so delicious that it is indescribable.

She ate the noodles in the bowl in big mouthfuls. Although it was a little hot, it was so delicious that she couldn't stop eating it and finished it all in a few bites.

As for Gu Zhou, he was surprised as soon as he put the noodles in his mouth. They tasted even better than the leftovers his mother brought back from the landlord's house in town when she was still alive.

He picked up the pork and bamboo shoots again, and his eyes lit up again.

It was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten, so delicious that he inadvertently sped up his eating pace.

Shen Wu watched them eat and paid attention to the baby while eating noodles with one hand.

The rice cooked over the stove does have a special taste, very similar to the taste her grandmother used to make when she was a child.

The pork with bamboo shoots tasted much better than I remembered. It was delicious even without adding cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and there was almost no fishy smell.

Since she was a child, she has disliked the fishy smell of pork, and she doesn't like to eat it. She would vomit it out every time she ate it.

I didn't expect that the fried pork didn't have that disgusting smell at all. When I blanched it, there was no fishy smell coming out with the steam. Could it be that? Did the pigs in ancient times eat better feed than the pigs today?

Gu Wei and Gu Zhou wrapped the noodles in the bowl together. They ate the pork and bamboo shoots cleanly, and the vegetable bowl with soup tasted even better.

Shen Wu only ate one bowl of food and stopped eating. He held the baby and observed whether he showed any signs of being full.

Gu Wei drank the last bit of soup in the bowl reluctantly, licked her lips and burped, with a satisfied look on her face like a little kid.

Gu Zhou also burped. The food Jiang Yu cooked was so delicious that he couldn't help but eat a lot more.

After dinner, Gu Zhou took the initiative to take over the dishwashing task and took Gu Wei to the kitchen to wash the dishes on the table.

Shen Wu observed the baby for a long time and didn't find any discomfort. Just after eating, he was still grabbing Shen Wu's collar and giggling. Now, he seemed to be tired from playing. He kept yawning with his mouth open and his eyes closed uncontrollably, as if he wanted to sleep.

I walked around the yard with the baby in my arms, rocking him gently. The baby fell asleep faster and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Zhou was in the kitchen watching Jiang Yu coaxing the child with her face. The moment the sunlight shone through her face, he felt that Jiang Yu was very unfamiliar. Obviously, that face was fierce and he would never forget it before, but now it looked like a gentle older woman.

Shen Wu put the child back into the small circle made of quilt in the main room, went out to the yard and began to try to repair the two sickles.

The two sickles that looked a bit rusty and had the blade and blade clearly separated were very easy to repair, and Shen Wu even improved it a little bit.

When she was a child, she lived with her grandmother for a period of time and was very familiar with farm tools. The wooden part of the sickle in her hand was very short, which could easily hurt people when using it. Rust covered the entire blade, and only some places on the blade could be considered sharp.

After Gu Zhou and Gu Wei finished their work and came out of the kitchen, they saw Jiang Yu holding a sickle, tossing and turning, not knowing what he was doing. Gu Wei asked where her brother was and then went to check on him.

Gu Zhou walked up to Jiang Yu and asked, "Any questions?"

Shen Wu put down the sickle, raised his head from his squatting position, looked at the child with sympathy, and sighed in his heart.

This family has a miserable life. Their mother and father have died, and they have two half-grown children to support. They are poor and have no money, and they have a baby to take care of. It's so miserable.

Since she is here, she should help them. She doesn't know when she will return to the modern era. Before she goes back, at least let them live.

In modern times, she is the eldest in the family and raises younger brothers and sisters. Seeing them is like seeing her own brothers and sisters. If they starve to death, she will feel very sad.

Moreover, she knew how to cook and do farm work, so she could think of a way to make some food and sell it, so that she could earn some money and at least not let them go hungry.

"Are there any dead trees around here?"

Gu Zhou didn't understand why she looked at him with that expression. Before he could see clearly, Jiang Yu stood up from the ground.

"I know, it's related to this?" Gu Zhou pointed at the sickle on the ground.

"Yes, it will be easier to repair with dead trees," Shen Wu did not hide it.

After Gu Zhou got the news that the tree could be repaired, he was eager to take Jiang Yu to find the dead tree.

"Hey! Don't worry, you can go later!"

Shen Wu didn't expect Gu Zhou to be so anxious. He just wanted to go out after hearing Nengxiu's words. It's better to take a rest after eating before moving, otherwise the stomach will feel uncomfortable. And Gu Zhou ate so much, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable?

Shen Wu forgot that she was in ancient times, and people in ancient times were poor. They moved a lot every day and ate a lot.

Nowadays, people generally don’t exercise that much, so it’s easy to get stomach discomfort. In ancient times, this was negligible.

Gu Zhou turned around, as if he had thought of something, and quickly went into the house to tell his younger sister.

Shen Wu went to the kitchen, took out the raspberries that had been soaked in water, drained the water, put them in a large bowl, placed it on the table in the living room, and told Gu Wei that she could eat them when she was hungry.

After Gu Zhou gave instructions to his younger sister, he took Jiang Yu with him and was about to go out.

Shen Wu quickly took one of the sickles and placed the other one in the corner of the yard, with the tip of the sickle facing the wall before going out.

Gu Zhou looked at Jiang Yu's behavior, concealed the light in his eyes, and waited until she walked to his side outside the courtyard gate before continuing to move and taking her into the woods.

Shen Wu had a lot to ask, and he kept talking as they walked: "What did we use to sharpen knives before? Do we have a whetstone?"

"No, my father usually just finds a place and grinds it with stones."

Just as Shen Wu thought, given the family conditions and the backward times, there was probably no whetstone available for use.

"Is it time to harvest wheat soon? How big is your land? Where is it? Can I take a look?"

"Well, we have to harvest it in the next two days. It will be too late if we delay any longer. The land is not big. I will take you there later."

"Okay!" Shen Wu spoke in a gentle tone with a faint smile and bright eyes. He was completely different from Jiang Yu before.

Gu Zhou had a hunch that some mountain spirit or ghost had taken over Jiang Yu's body, and this was definitely not the original Jiang Yu.

While the two were talking, they arrived at the place Gu Zhou mentioned. Shen Wu walked forward to pick one, then compared it with the sickle and picked a very long, light and wide dead wood: "This is it."

Gu Zhou took the wood from Shen Wu's hand, tried it, and found it was indeed very light.

He didn't know how Jiang Yu would fix it, but looking at what she had done before, he had the illusion that Jiang Yu could fix it.

If all else fails, borrow from your neighbors, but they probably have finished harvesting by now.

He suppressed his thoughts about Jiang Yu's abnormality and decided to see what this so-called Jiang Yu was going to do. If she was really a mountain spirit or a ghost, what did she want from them?

"Just hold the sickle, I'll take the dead wood. Is there anything else you need?"

Shen Wu walked home with him, thinking about the things he would need: "I still need an axe for chopping wood and some unused rags, and a big stone for rubbing my hands."

She told them what she needed one by one.

Gu Zhou counted them one by one, and found that he had all the stones except the last one at home: "I have the ones in the front at home. As for the stones, I need to go to the river."
