Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

September.

A cold wind gradually blew in the mountains.

Some leaves have turned yellow, especially those of the ginkgo trees. When the wind blows strongly, the little yellow fans on the trees fall down, which is really beautiful.

Since he didn't catch any fish the day before yesterday, Xu Wenyan took time out to try out the hook in the pond.

As for fishing, anyone who knows about it knows that it is addictive.

"Brother Chen, I'm going out fishing, want to join me?" Xu Wenyan was carrying a fishing rod and a backpack. In the backpack were hemp ropes made of palm tree fibers and kudzu vine fibers, and a bamboo pole.

Chen Sanlin smiled and was about to agree, then shook his head: "I still have to chop wood, you go." After that, Chen Sanlin left in a hurry.

Xu Wenyan stood there in a daze, puzzled: "What's wrong with this guy today? It's rare that he refuses me." Just after he finished complaining, he saw Xiaohu coming down the hillside with a backpack on his back: "Hey, Huzi, let's go fishing." Xu Wenyan raised his chin at Xiaohu.

"Okay!... Forget it, I still have to accompany Sister Dongmei to pick ginkgo nuts and red beans." Xiaohu cleared his throat and ran away in a few steps.

Xu Wenyan frowned. Was he being disliked?

"Xiaohua! Rongrong!"

"Uncle, we're going to mow the lawn!" After saying that, the three children ran away in a hurry.

Xu Wenyan then looked at Rong Xiaoliu who was doing nothing. Rong Xiaoliu just wanted to run away when Xu Wenyan grabbed him by the collar: "Why are you running? If they don't accompany me, why do you accompany me?"

"No... No, Brother Xu, I have work to do too." Seeing Rong Xiaoliu about to cry, Xu Wenyan let him go speechlessly: "Forget it, forget it, I'll go by myself."

After Xu Wenyan left, the whole family looked at him from the hillside.

Rongrong looked at Xu Wenyan's lonely back and said, "Aunt Dongmei, isn't this too cruel to my uncle?"

"Yeah, I can't bear it any more." Xiaohu also added.

Chen Sanlin thought, stop talking, I feel the most distressed.

"Tsk, you guys can't stand it anymore, we have to ignore him for a day, stop talking and take your places!"

Xu Wenyan came to the pond alone, put a worm on the fishhook, fixed the fishing rod after going into the water, and then placed the bamboo pole on two tree branches.

Take out a hemp rope, fold it in half, place it behind the bamboo pole, pass the lower rope through the top, and use this method to thread all the hemp ropes onto the bamboo pole.

Then grab the two adjacent ropes. There are many ways to tie knots, as long as they can be fixed with a knot, and then weave them downwards into diamond-shaped holes.

The size of the hole depends on the fish to be caught. Xu Wenyan deliberately weaved a larger hole, because this hemp rope net cannot catch small fish.

While he was weaving the net, there was movement on the fishing rod.

"Oh, shit."

Xu Wenyan turned around and started to pull the rod. After one pull back and forth, a grass carp weighing two or three pounds was pulled up, but the bamboo pole was no longer useful.

After putting the fish into the backpack, Xu Wenyan changed the rod and continued fishing.

"What happened today? Was my luck good?" It's a pity that I can't enjoy the sight of myself catching a fish today.

“Ah!”

As if hearing Xu Wenyan's sigh, Ruhua flew from afar and landed on Xu Wenyan's shoulder.

"You still have a conscience."

After putting the fish in, Xu Wenyan continued to weave the fishing net. This was not a small project. The size of each hole had to be consistent, otherwise in the end one rope might be longer and the other shorter.

It was noon when Xu Wenyan was about to go back to eat, but he found that there was no food in the pot.

From a distance, Chen Dong and a few others watched him looking for food in the pot.

Little Chen Dong's eyes turned red: "Woo woo, my uncle is so pitiful."

Chen Sanlin: My wife is so pitiful.

Wang Dongmei sighed helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. We have to create a sense of disparity!"

But as soon as they turned around, they saw Xu Wenyan asking for a few sour pears from somewhere, and then took out the fish they had just caught from the backpack, gutted it, washed it, applied the sour pear juice evenly, added a little salt and chili slices, and rubbed it repeatedly.

Finally, I stuffed two slices of ginger into the fish's belly, cut a wooden stick, and passed it through the fish's mouth to its tail, then happily started grilling the fish on the stove.

In less than half a minute, the aroma of fish wafted out through the door.

"Cuckoo-"

Chen Dong's stomach growled, and he took everyone with him.

The younger ones looked at Wang Dongmei pitifully. Wang Dongmei took out the prepared kudzu root cakes and shared them with everyone.

Just like that, I smelled the aroma of the grilled fish amid the "cooing" sounds, drooling, and waited for Xu Wenyan to come out.

Wang Dongmei looked worried. How come this was different from what she had expected?

"Separate——!"

Xu Wenyan burped loudly, then happily took the bamboo tube and went out.

It contained the pear juice he made, which had just a hint of sourness and the fragrance of pears.

After returning to the house, they quickly decorated the house.

After another hour, Xu Wenyan had finished weaving the net. He used a bamboo pole to place the net at the water outlet, and he would be able to check if there was anything in it tomorrow morning.

He picked up the backpack and walked home with Ruhua.

"It's already dusk, haven't you lit the fire yet? It's so dark."

Xu Wenyan was mumbling something as he walked into the house, but he didn't dare to go in because it was so dark inside.

In this way, the people inside and the people outside were in a stalemate.

Xiaohu whispered, "Sister Dongmei, why doesn't Brother Xu come in?"

"How should I know?"

The stalemate lasted for nearly half an hour. Chen Sanlin could not bear it any longer, so he rushed out of the darkness and picked up Princess Xu Wenyan.

"Hey, shit, what is that?" Xu Wenyan was sitting on a stool with his back to the house waiting for others to come back, but he didn't expect to be picked up by someone.

Just as I was struggling frantically, I heard a familiar male voice.

"do not move."

"Chen Sanlin, are you sick?" Xu Wenyan now just wanted to kick this man to death. He was almost scared to death just now.

Just as the noise was going on here, the fire in the stove was suddenly lit.

"Happy birthday!"

The whole family spoke in unison, and although there were some minor incidents, everyone had a happy smile on their face.

"Happy birthday, uncle!"

"Happy birthday, Brother Xu!"

"Happy birthday, brother Wen Yan."

"Wen Yan, happy birthday."

Chen Sanlin put Xu Wenyan down and smiled: "Wife, happy birthday."

Xu Wenyan was completely dazed when he landed. Although it was a bit cliché, this was the first time someone celebrated his birthday.

He didn't know how to describe this feeling, it was just a warm feeling in his heart.

Just like the flowers in spring and the breeze in summer, a smile unconsciously appeared on my face.

"Hurry, hurry, our birthday boy should sit in the middle."

When the prepared food was served, the family looked at Xu Wenyan happily.

"Wen Yan, this is the condition now. I don't have anything to give you. This is the bathtub we made together. That's what we call it, right?" Zhou Jianye scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Humph, Chen Sanlin wanted to do it secretly, and now I've discovered him." Wang Dongmei said proudly.

Xu Wenyan looked at these people with a gentle look in his eyes: "Thank you everyone, this is the best birthday I have ever had."

After the family finished their meal and chatted, the birthday party ended successfully.

Xu Wenyan sat at the head of the bed, looking at Chen Sanlin, and handed him a peace locket.

These are peace beans found in the mountains. The plant is so tall that Xu Wenyan had to grope on the ground for a long time before finding two complete ones.

Most of them were eaten by insects and were not intact.

There are words carved by Xu Wenyan himself on this peace locket. The front side has Chen Sanlin's name, and the back side has the word "peace".

Afraid that Chen Sanlin might not understand, Xu Wenyan explained patiently.

"Didn't we agree to celebrate our birthdays together? Your name is at the front, and the word 'peace' is at the back."

Chen Sanlin stared with wide eyes at the peace locket he handed to him.

"how about you."

Xu Wenyan took out another one.

"I have one too. This is my name."

After that, Chen Sanlin took the peace locket in his hand and gave the one with his name engraved on it to Xu Wenyan: "You take mine, and I will accompany you forever in the future."

Xu Wenyan smiled and rubbed the locket engraved with the words "Chen Sanlin" with his fingers.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you reluctantly."

Feeling the wetness on his lips, Chen Sanlin was hugged by Xu Wenyan.

"And happy birthday, Brother Chen."
