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

"Hey, Xiaohua, why are you so happy?"

Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Xiaohua who was standing next to him with a silly smile on her face. If this girl wasn't still young, Xu Wenyan would have thought she was in love.

"No, nothing." Chen Xiaohua blushed and answered hesitantly.

"Is there anyone who raises horses in our village?" Xu Wenyan then realized that if he wanted to make a toothbrush, the brush could only be made of horsetail or palm tree bark. Palm trees grow in the mountains and are not easy to get now.

"The village chief has it at his home."

Xu Wenyan nodded and decided that Chen Sanlin should be the one to handle this matter.

Without thinking any more, Xu Wenyan took out the dough that had been salted and proofed, and divided it into ten small balls.

Then use two spoons of flour, three spoons of hot oil and a little salt to make shortcrust pastry. Roll the dough into a thin skin and spread the shortcrust pastry evenly on it.

Cut the green onions into small pieces, sprinkle them evenly on the pancake, use a kitchen knife to cut a radius and then roll it up from the cut to the bottom to close it, making sure to pinch it tightly.

Press the seam downwards and then roll it into a round pancake.

After brushing oil in the iron pan, just put the pancake in and fry it. The only trouble is that you have to brush the oil every time you turn it over. A pancake can be ready in three to five minutes.

Xu Wenyan started living alone when she was in junior high school. She did the laundry, cooking, and sewing at home. She was like her own parent.

Chen Xiaohua stood aside and watched the young uncle cooking. He was so amazing. He could make such a delicious dish with just flour and green onions. The two little ones were already drooling over the scallion pancakes as soon as they were put into the pan.

Looking at the two little ones who were looking at him with admiration, Xu Wenyan picked up the first pancake out of the pan and gave it to Xiaohua: "Go eat outside with your brother, be careful with the heat." He gave the pancake to the brother and sister together with the chopsticks.

Based on the past two days of interaction, Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong also understood that as long as it was given by this little uncle, it was really given to them. Although they were reluctant to believe that they could eat such delicious food, they still rushed out excitedly.

The surface of the scallion pancake was golden yellow, and you could see bits of green scallions inside. Chen Xiaohua first fed a bite to Chen Dong, who was already craving for it.

After taking a bite, the tip of his tongue could feel the aroma of chopped green onions. Although Chen Dong had eaten chopped green onion pancakes made by his grandmother, they were not as soft and fragrant as this one. The little guy didn't know any other adjectives, but just kept jumping and saying that it was delicious: "Great, great, sister, you are also great."

Although Chen Xiaohua is the older sister, she is only one year older than Chen Dong. At this time, she was also dancing with joy while eating.

Hearing the cheerful voices in the yard, Xu Wenyan couldn't hide the pride on his face at all, and he couldn't help but feel that traveling through time was not a bad thing.

Although the 996 work schedule in the library is quiet, you basically cannot talk to other people and you don’t have any colleagues. The work is very leisurely and you can only see the director once a week.

For some reason, Xu Wenyan got so excited that he picked up a piece of scallion pancake and went into the inner room. Chen Sanlin was still drilling holes in it with a knife.

To be honest, Xu Wenyan was quite grateful to this honest man. If he didn't want to stay in his house, he would have been a refugee without a household registration, or even a pariah, because most refugees took their household registration with them.

Xu Wenyan handed the scallion pancake to Chen Sanlin. Chen Sanlin was slightly stunned after taking it. Could pancakes be so soft? The ones he had eaten before were a bit hard, but he was uneducated and didn't know how to describe it: "Well, it's delicious."

"Just because it tastes good, that's all?" Xu Wenyan's face, which had been smiling slightly just now, darkened again.

For some reason, Chen Sanlin always felt that if he didn't say something more, he would be doomed: "It's delicious...very delicious."

"Oh." Xu Wenyan went out with a little disappointment and continued to make his scallion pancakes. Ten pancakes were enough for a meal.

After distributing the scallion pancakes, Xu Wenyan took out the quilt he bought yesterday to dry. There was an unnamed tree on the side of the small courtyard. At the other end was an upright wooden stick, and a longer bamboo pole was placed on top of it. This was the place to dry clothes.

After putting up the quilt, Xu Wenyan didn't care about it anymore. He originally wanted to wash the previous quilt, which was full of the smell of Chen Sanlin's male hormones.

But Xu Wenyan took a quick look through the opening and found that the quilt was not filled with cotton, but with willow catkins and kapok and other things. If they were pulled out, they would scatter everywhere.

Just post it tomorrow.

Chen Sanlin, who was standing on the side, saw Xu Wenyan turning left and right again, and very tactfully gave way to him, fearing that he would get angry again.

Xu Wenyan took out a pair of size 44 shoes from the cloth bag. However, shoes here are bought by inches. The pair that Xu Wenyan bought for Chen Sanlin was about nine inches and the material used was slightly better.

"for you."

After Chen Sanlin took the shoes, he was stunned: "He gave me shoes? He bought me shoes even though he was so seriously ill. Is he...?" Chen Sanlin just looked at Xu Wenyan and imagined, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

But Xu Wenyan didn't notice the changes in this boy. After all, Xu Wenyan was only in his teens or twenties, just the age when love begins to blossom. Seeing Xu Wenyan buying shoes for her and cooking for her, she was actually very touched.

You have to know that he has been living alone for the past few years since the family split up, and after killing the prey, he not only has to share it with those who shared it with him, but also has to extort money from his mother's family. This suddenly made him feel a little warm, and he was a little unable to adapt to it for a while.

"Xiaohua, Xiaodong, come here." Xu Wenyan sat on a small stool in the yard and waved at the brother and sister.

"Little uncle~" Chen Dong called out in a grandma-like voice. His teeth were not fully grown yet, so he spoke with a slight lisp. After a few days of getting along with him, Chen Dong was not so afraid of this little uncle anymore. This little uncle was very good to him and his sister.

Xu Wenyan looked at the dirty Chen Dong and tangled Chen Xiaohua, and felt a little uncomfortable. The most important thing was that the smell was bad. It was time for them to wash.

"Come, see if they fit." The shoes given to Chen Dong were black, and the ones given to Chen Xiaohua were dark red. There were red ones originally, but Xu Wenyan felt a little disgusted with red shoes, so he bought the dark red ones.

Chen Xiaohua was very happy to see the color she had never seen before: "Uncle, can you really give it to me?" Looking at the pair of beautiful shoes, Chen Xiaohua felt that she was a little too greedy. The pair on her feet was a bit shabby and she felt uncomfortable walking in it because she had worn it for two years.

"Then do you think I can wear this? Just wear what I bought for you. Put it on now. Your uncle and I will be out for a while. You and your brother can wash the shoes at home, okay?" Xu Wenyan did not want the children he disciplined to become lazy. Even in modern times, he would let his children do work within their ability.

"Yes!" Chen Xiaohua nodded heavily. She must wash her uncle's red shoes very clean!

Xu Wenyan walked into the room and looked at Chen Sanlin who was still in a daze. He said he didn't quite understand what he was doing. Why was he staring at a shoe like that?

"Brother Sanlin, take the machete and the backpack and let's go to the mountain." Xu Wenyan put on the backpack. This time he didn't want to carry things back.

There is a pot of mushrooms in the kitchen at home. I have to tear them into strips tonight and dry them early tomorrow morning.

The more I think about it, the more things come to mind.
