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

I eat a lot of sweets these days.

Xu Wenyan just wanted to drink something light, like tea or something.

Thinking of the sugar-roasted chestnuts he had eaten before, Xu Wenyan felt that the pine nuts should also be ripe.

The whole pine tree is a treasure. The fruit can be eaten, the pine needles can be used to make tea and boil water, and the young pine needles can also be eaten. Pine resin is a medicinal material that can relieve pain and itching, reduce swelling and detoxify, and astringe and stop bleeding.

The place we are going today is a bit far, so Xu Wenyan will not bring Rong Xiaoliu with him.

"Brother Chen, go out and have some fun." Xu Wenyan winked at Chen Sanlin.

Chen Sanlin was a little frightened by his fierce words. When did his wife become like this?

Chen Sanlin swallowed hard and was already imagining what was happening in the woods: "Okay, right away."

Seeing his wife carrying a backpack, he also carried one and ran forward to hold Xu Wenyan's hand.

Xu Wenyan used his thumb to pick at the calluses on his hands. This country man really has a hard life.

After being restless for a long time on the road, Chen Sanlin spoke nervously: "Wife, how should we... do that?" He really couldn't say the word "happy".

But Xu Wenyan never mentioned it, and he felt itchy in his heart, so he had no choice but to ask.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, we'll be happy soon." Xu Wenyan smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Just as Xu Wenyan said this, they hurried on. The two of them walked for another three quarters of an hour before finally reaching the pine forest. Looking at the pine cones fallen on the ground, Xu Wenyan knew that he had come to the right place.

"Brother Chen, you collect pine cones and I'll pick some pine needles." Xu Wenyan pretended to climb up the tree because the ones on top were fresher.

Chen Sanlin was unhappy and hugged Xu Wenyan who was still in the air: "Wife, we agreed... to be happy." Although it was embarrassing, Chen Sanlin couldn't help it at this time.

Without caring about anything else, Chen Sanlin was already very sad about what happened with Xiaoman before, and the look in the eyes of that man named San when he looked at his wife was also strange.

The most hateful thing was that Commander Wang, who actually wanted his wife to talk to him alone. Chen Sanlin remembered all this, and he was now filled with a sense of crisis.

"Hey, put me down." Being hugged from behind like this, I felt very insecure.

"I won't." Chen Sanlin pushed him against the tree and used his body to support him.

Xu Wenyan tried to struggle, but it was useless.

Seeing that Xu Wenyan stopped talking, Chen Sanlin gently bit his neck.

"You are a dog!"

"I'm a rabbit, and you're a snake."

"You...you...fuck." It was the first time Xu Wenyan saw someone answer this question so seriously.

I was so angry that I laughed for a moment.

"I really don't know whether to say you are serious or not. Let me go quickly, or you will never touch me again."

Hearing Xu Wenyan say this, Chen Sanlin could only let go of him with grievance.

Xu Wenyan picked up a pine cone and said, "Look, this pine cone is big and fragrant. Let's pick up a bunch and take them home. Isn't it exciting?"

Chen Sanlin:......? ? ?

then.

The two of them spent the entire morning picking pine cones and pine needles.

When Xu Wenyan got home, he used the pine needles to make soda.

"Hurry up and peel them. You can't drink it if you don't finish peeling them." Xu Wenyan gave the task of peeling pine cones to the five youngest ones, except Zhou Rong.

After all, it is not easy for Xu Wenyan to exploit this unfamiliar person.

"Brother Xu, what does soda taste like?" Xiaohu broke off the cracked tower on the outside of the pine tree, and inside were plump pine nuts. Pine trees do not attract insects, so these pine nuts are well preserved.

"It's just a lot of air in your mouth with the sweet water."

"Uncle, what is air?" She had peeled these pine cone flowers with Xu Wenyan, but she didn't know what air was.

Xu Wenyan frowned, unable to think of how to explain the concept of air. But to be precise, soda contains carbon dioxide.

"Have you memorized the Three Character Classic? You're asking so many questions."

Speaking of the Three Character Classic, the children didn't dare to look up. It was so difficult to memorize it that it was good enough if they could learn a paragraph of characters in a week.

Xu Wenyan washed the pine needles several times with baking soda, and then removed the tails of the pine needles, which contained a lot of oil. If that stuff was put into the can, it would not be possible to make soda.

Cut off the pine needles at the tail, wash them again, put them in a ceramic jar, and add yellow rock sugar and water. In order to restore the taste of Sprite, Xu Wenyan squeezed half a tangerine peel to adjust the flavor.

Next, wait for it to ferment for three days before drinking it.

"Soak the peeled pine nuts in water so they can be fried tomorrow."

"What about the soda?"

"The day after tomorrow."

The men in the house were all busy. After all, Xu Wenyan and his friend had piled up a mountain of pine cones in the morning, and they all had to be collected.

Pine cones can also be made into charcoal, which has a pleasant fragrance and can be used to repel insects.

"Well, cousin, please help me pile these pine needles into a small pile." After all, he would have to live with Zhou Rong in the future, and Xu Wenyan felt that as a boy he should speak more.

"Ah."

In fact, Zhou Rong is quite afraid of this cousin.

Every time she saw him, she felt that he was fierce, and her mother He Xianhua always said bad things about him at home. Over time, Zhou Rong began to think that this cousin was just a bad guy.

But after coming here, Zhou Rong found that everyone liked Xu Wenyan very much, and it seemed that everyone was smiling when talking to him.

Xu Wenyan lit up piles of pine needles one by one. Because pine branches contain a lot of oil, the burning smell will cling to the surrounding objects for a long time.

The smell of pine trees has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, and it also has a faint pine scent. Just thinking about it, Xu Wenyan feels like he has become a great poet.

"Xiaoyan, I've made the mat." Wang Cuijuan shouted in the yard.

Xu Wenyan went over immediately after hearing the news: "Cousin, please continue. Just be careful not to let the sparks fly too far."

Looking at the mat in Wang Cuijuan's hand, which was about two centimeters thick and smelled only faintly of grass, the two pulled it and found it to be very tough.

"Xiaoyan, the grass you brought back is really useful, but it takes a bit of time to weave it." Wang Cuijuan was also very happy. When she goes out in the future, she will have many skills that she can sell for money.

For example, the clothes Xu Wenyan is wearing were made by her. There is no such style in the county at all, but we still have to thank Xu Wenyan for her idea.

She had already decided that after she got out, she would make clothes and sell them, and then give some of the money from the sales to Xu Wenyan.

Anyway, it’s still early, I’ll discuss it with him later.

"It's okay. I'll ask Sister Dongmei and Brother Xingjie to help in the evening. Isn't Zhou Rong here too? Let's see if we can finish one blanket in one day."

After Zhou Rong came, she slept with Rongrong and Xiaohua.

Xiaohua didn't mind at all, she still had some good feelings towards Zhou Rong.

"Haha, okay."

After discussing this matter, Xu Wenyan looked at the people who were coming back carrying pine cones.

He has been in a bad mood since he went out with Chen Sanlin in the morning.

Xu Wenyan decided to give it a try if that guy was willing to be there.

Everything will be easier.
