A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

"Aunt, can you have lunch with us?" Shen Wu grabbed her younger brother's fingers and smiled until her eyes narrowed.

Good children are loved and cared for. Oh, the baby is so cute because he doesn’t cry or make a fuss.

"If you let me eat every day, aren't you afraid that your aunt will go bankrupt?" He Jiu suddenly became angry when he saw Jiang Yu squatting on the ground coaxing the child.

This child used to be a smart kid, but now he's become so stupid.

"Ah!?" Shen Wu was confused: "The aunt is not an outsider. How can she go bankrupt just by eating a meal?"

Shen Wu really didn't know what she could go bankrupt with? The vegetables were from the wild in the mountains and were free, just some noodles or something, who could go bankrupt with it? She could earn it back by selling buns.

"Hmph! You want me to look after your children?" Aunt He pretended to be angry.

"Hahahaha, Auntie is really smart, that's what I was thinking." Shen Wu laughed out loud. She also realized that her aunt was joking, so she joined in the joke.

"I don't want to watch it. My family is waiting for lunch. Your brother can watch it by himself." Aunt He was not really angry. She had also seen the changes in Jiang Yu in these days. She thought that it was because the Gu family's parents had passed away and the ancestors and gods had blessed Jiang Yu to become wise.

She felt sorry for the two half-grown children so she volunteered to help take care of the baby, but she didn't expect the children... to be so sensible. They brought food and drinks home every day. It was normal for her to eat once or twice, but if she ate more, she would be shameless.

Thinking of this, Aunt He didn't want to stay any longer, so she said goodbye to Shen Wu and was about to leave.

"Auntie really doesn't want to eat!"

"No need to eat anymore. A-Yan has been playing like crazy since he came back a few days ago. I have to go back and catch him," Aunt He said as she walked out.

Shen Wu sighed, knowing her aunt's good intentions, and no longer wanted to keep her: "Aunt, please take care, and come for dinner when you have time."

"I know, I know! Don't feed me if I'm full!" Aunt He turned back and gave instructions after leaving the yard.

"Hey!"

After Shen Wu agreed, he realized that it was getting hot outside, so he carried his younger brother's small bamboo chair and went to the main room.

Gu Wei fell asleep in the inner room, curled up in a small place. Gu Zhou took a look at her and came out again.

"Where is Xiaowei?" Shen Wu asked when he saw Gu Zhou coming out.

"He's asleep inside," Gu Zhou replied softly.

Shen Wu nodded: "Then let me follow you to the kitchen at noon. I can watch you while you cook, and the room won't be too hot."

Gu Zhou walked around the dining table and put the little brother down with her: "Can I help you dig some vegetables in the back mountain? Is there anything you want?"

"Well..., is there anything you want to eat?" Shen Wu stood up and stretched his waist, feeling tired on his back.

"I don't know." Gu Zhou shook his head and asked about the tofu she left over: "What are you going to do with the tofu you left over from this morning?"

Shen Wu touched his little brother's head and whispered: "I was originally thinking of making shepherd's purse and tofu soup."

"Then this! I'll go dig some shepherd's purse." Gu Zhou nodded and was about to leave immediately, but Shen Wu grabbed his sleeve and said, "You had shepherd's purse and tofu buns in the morning. Do you feel sick of eating the soup now?"

Gu Zhou shook his head: "No! It's quite delicious."

"Okay, then you can get some horseradish. It tastes a bit sour and it's the season for eating it now. If you wait any longer, it will be gone."

"Okay, I'll do it. Thank you for cooking." Gu Zhou went to the inner room to get the backpack and hoe.

"What's the trouble? We're a family now..." Shen Wu muttered, ruffling his little brother's head, and pouted at the laughing child.

How can this child be so well behaved!

Shen Wu carried a backpack and a baby bamboo chair and went to the kitchen, while Gu Zhou went to the back mountain to cook.

At first she thought about taking more at a time so she wouldn't have to go so many times.

However, shepherd's purse was just outside the woods behind the house, only a few steps away, and he was willing to go, so he let him go.

"Be good, little brother! I'm going to cook for you."

Shen Wu is very gentle to good children. His voice is soft and his expression is particularly kind when he speaks.

Putting the child somewhere far away from the stove but within reach at any time, Shen Wu first used a fire starter to light the fires in the two stoves.

There were some leftover buns from lunch, and although one of them fell on the ground, it was still edible. But she didn't want the kids to eat the one on the ground, so she took it out and put it aside, planning to heat it up in the stove and eat it herself later.

She quickly cut the tofu and set it aside, and boiled two large stoves of hot water to keep for the family to drink.

There was a big jar in Gu Zhou's house. She asked about it and was told that it was used to store drinking water. She would pour out the remaining water, scald it with boiling water, and then put hot water in it for later use.

Why drink cold water? Give me boiled water.

Of course you can’t drink it right after it’s boiled. You have to let it sit at the right temperature before you can drink it.

Gu Zhou came back soon, and Shen Wu had already finished blanching the large jar and was slowly pouring water into it.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhou brought in the washed vegetables, a little confused because he always saw her filling them with hot water.

"This..." Shen Wu didn't look back and filled the water carefully: "We can't always drink raw water at home. Drinking too much will easily cause worms in the stomach. If there is a parasite or something, it will be difficult to deal with. I have scalded the jar, and there is boiled water in it. Let it cool down a little, and it will be better when you drink it later."

"Okay." Gu Zhou would have no doubts about what she did. He had never seen her harm her family.

After finishing most of the jar, Shen Wu held the jar and tried to pick it up.

"No, let me do it." Gu Zhou moved his younger brother to the side and hurried over to take over.

Shen Wu didn't give him any reply: "Why are you, a kid, joining in the fun? Just follow me and don't block my way."

Gu Zhou had no place to get her hands on it, so she just held the thing in her arms.

He silently stepped aside, feeling helpless because she was younger than him.

Shen Wu quickly put the tofu into the remaining hot water and boiled it first, then grabbed a handful of shepherd's purse, twisted it off randomly, and put it in a bowl for later use.

This is a convenient way and you don’t need to use a knife.

There were some onions and garlic left over from making stuffing in the early morning, and they were put directly into another hot oil that was emitting green smoke.

After a sizzling sound, Shen Wu casually flipped it a few times and threw the horse ginseng in.

While the tofu was cooking, Shen Wu threw the shepherd's purse in. Then he took a sieve and placed it on top. He put the leftover buns on top, closed the lid and counted the time.

"Why put the bun in the stove? Why not put them together?" Gu Zhou looked at his younger brother consciously, and asked in confusion when he saw her actions.

"This accidentally fell on the ground, so I heated it up here. Wood ash is not dirty." Shen Wu put the buns away, stood up, and turned over the vegetables in the pot.

Fresh vegetables cook quickly and taste good. They become soft after just a few stir-frys.

The dark green sea ginseng in the pot was neatly placed together with its brothers and sisters. Because it was fresh, some of it even oozed juice.

Shen Wu fried the vegetables until they were very soft before taking them out of the pan. After quickly washing the pan, he turned off the heat.

There was only rice left in the other stove. She opened it and pressed it and felt that it was ready, so she turned down the fire.

Taking the buns out of the pot, Shen Wu put them in a large bowl and placed them aside, then brought a large basin for later use.

The ingredients are all fresh, and it tastes very good with just a little salt and pepper.

When the tofu was served, Gu Zhou had already brought the two prepared ones to the main room, and also moved his younger brother over there.

Shen Wu cleaned the pot and brought the tofu soup over.

Gu Zhou took the bowls, chopsticks and large spoons for the three people, put them away, and asked his younger sister to get up.
