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

After the matter was resolved, Wang Dongmei took the initiative to disperse the crowd.

Before Chen Sanlin could go up to thank her, Wang Dongmei followed the crowd and left. She was truly a decisive woman. Xu Wenyan was very impressed that there were still such women in this dynasty.

Chen Sanlin pulled Xu Wenyan up from the ground. He wanted to comfort her but couldn't speak. Xu Wenyan patted his butt and said, "You are arrogant if I let you say that. If you come to me to cause trouble, your life will be in jeopardy!"

Chen Sanlin: “…”

"Alright, alright, stop crying, let me see." Chen Xiaohua slowly pinned up her sleeves. The spot where He Xianhua pinched her was indeed purple. "This crazy woman, I'm going to punish her when I recover."

Xiaohu felt a little awkward staying here and was about to leave when Xu Wenyan called him: "Xiaohu, right? Stay and have dinner. Xiaohua and Xiaodong, thank your brother Xiaohu."

Among so many people, only Xiaohu stepped forward to help. Xu Wenyan was the most loyal, but also the one who hated owing favors to others the most.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaohu." A crying voice came out from the two children's mouths, and those who heard it just felt heartbroken.

"Ah? No way, I..." Xiaohu didn't feel that he had helped anything. If they hadn't come back in time, he wouldn't have been able to stop He Xianhua.

Xu Wenyan walked up to Chen Sanlin and pushed him... but didn't push him: "Aren't you going to see Xiaohu for something later? It's a good opportunity for you to stay and have lunch together."

What they were talking about was naturally the matter of digging wild yam. The two of them came back just for this. Xu Wenyan went to the backpack and rummaged around, took out a handful of pine nuts and went into the kitchen.

There were only a handful of pine nuts produced by the pine cones on that small hill. Fortunately, they were relatively full. Seeing two men discussing something outside and two children sobbing on the other side, Xu Wenyan shook his head helplessly. Without him, this family would break up sooner or later.

Soak the pine nuts in a bowl and add a little salt. It takes half an hour to soak. Take out the remaining venison and cut a piece of it. There are no green vegetables around. It feels a bit awkward to just stir-fry the venison. I still have to farm at home.

Since there are no other dishes, I can only stir-fry mushrooms. The tricholoma and red mushrooms are not particularly big, so just tear them into strips. First, add lard, salt and garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant. There are a few less ginger slices, but it’s not a big problem.

Cut the venison into slices and set aside for later use. Start by frying the mushrooms. No matter what kind of mushrooms they are, Xu Wenyan always tries to fry them for as long as possible, and then adds the venison when he thinks they are almost done.

There was still some noodles left from the morning, so Xu Wenyan cooked another pot of noodle soup and ate it like that. He was too lazy to steam the rice: "Chen Sanlin, clear the table, wash your hands and eat!"

Xiaohu saw Chen Sanlin taking the siblings to wash their hands obediently. Although he didn't want to be so particular, he always felt that Xu Wenyan was a bit fierce when he looked at him. He wondered if he would beat him if he didn't wash his hands, so he also followed and washed them simply.

Looking at the mushroom and braised pork slices served by Xu Wenyan, Xiaohu swallowed his saliva hard. He had sold all the meat he got, and he had never tasted what venison tasted like. Besides eating it, he also felt that he, who was considered as his sister-in-law, was really generous. She was cooking meat for him before the New Year even started.

In comparison, Chen Sanlin was much calmer. He always ate whatever was available and was not picky. It was just that the food he cooked was not very tasty.

Xu Wenyan, Chen Sanlin and Xiaohu went to the children's table with the big bowls they used to scoop up the noodle soup. A small bowl was enough to fill them up. No one talked much while eating, everyone just focused on eating.

"Go wash the bowl and take Xiaohu with you to dig later. I'll be at home." Xu Wenyan put the bowl down and went into the house. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Xiaohu to go into the kitchen and take the bowl of noodle soup back to grandma.

Xiaohu silently held the bowl and ate his food, thinking that male wives were terrible and he must find a gentler one in the future.

In fact, Chen Sanlin didn't think it was a big deal. He had to wash the dishes himself at home. Now that he didn't have to cook, he was actually very happy. The wife he married by accident seemed to be quite capable.

"Xiao Hu, go get your hoe first. I'll come find you after I finish washing the dishes."

"it is good."

After entering the house, Xu Wenyan began to think about how to make clothes. He had glanced at it a few times in books before, and when he was in college, he also knitted scarves and sweaters in order to pursue a goddess. However, he had never sewn such a complete piece of clothing. He had to think about it first, and also measure the size.

"Xiaohua, Xiaodong, come in." Xu Wenyan thought that if the younger one was done wrong, not much cloth would be needed.

The brother and sister, who were full, were not so unhappy when they saw that their uncle was not angry with them. This is the good thing about children, they are easier to coax, of course, I mean good children.

If these two kids at home were naughty kids, Xu Wenyan wouldn't be able to control them at all.

"Stand still." Xu Wenyan took out a roll of thread and began to measure Chen Dong's height, arm span, waist circumference and so on. He wanted to make it as big as possible so that it could be worn for two more years. He was very poor now and had to think about the future.

After measuring a section, Xu Wenyan cut it with a knife. In this era, iron products were strictly controlled and sold at a high price, so Chen Sanlin's family naturally did not have scissors.

Even the machete is recorded in the county, so it would be difficult to deal with if it was lost. I would be afraid of being held accountable.

However, it is impossible to make clothes with just this machete, so he has to buy another one in case it comes in handy in the future.

After measuring both people's heights, he put away the ropes and said, "Come on, come with me."

After this incident, Xu Wenyan didn't want to leave the two little ones alone at home anymore. After what had happened to them before, few people in the village would treat them well. People in this dynasty still believed in ghosts and gods.

It is also a fact that one of the two siblings was born with a dead father and the other with a dead mother. We would rather believe it than not.

Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong jumped up and down excitedly. This was the first time they were taken out to play. When they were at their grandmother's house before, their grandmother was in poor health, so they also lived at home and rarely went out.

"Uncle, where are we going?" Chen Dong asked in a baby voice while gently pulling Xu Wenyan's trouser leg with his little hand.

"Go find stones." Some rocks could be seen at the foot of the mountain before, but Xu Wenyan didn't pay attention at that time, but they were probably limestone. Making clothes requires drawing, and now there is no chalk or anything, so the only thing to do is burn quicklime.

Although no furnace can reach a thousand degrees, it is enough to burn a part of the surface.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xu Wenyan found that he had made no mistake. He just picked up a few small pieces on the side. He didn't need too many.

Walking here, Xu Wenyan felt a little tired again. His body had just gotten better because he had exercised a lot today. "Uncle is on the top of the mountain. You guys go find him first. I'll take a break."

Chen Xiaohua pulled her brother to squat next to Xu Wenyan: "Let's wait for our uncle."

Looking at the two children, Xu Wenyan, who didn't like children, felt that they were too sensible. Although his uncle's family were not good people when he was a child, he was also a bad kid when he was a child. If his family didn't allow him to eat eggs, he would eat them secretly.

One time, his uncle beat him very severely. That night Xu Wenyan ran away from home and walked for more than three hours to the police station to report his uncle. For this, his uncle was detained in the police station for several days. At that time, the government was strictly enforcing education, and beating children was considered a serious matter, especially since they were not your own children.

From then on, the family hoped that Xu Wenyan would grow up quickly and send this plague away.

Although Xu Wenyan had a hard childhood, he didn't suffer much. He just acted like a scoundrel and didn't care about his face.

Face can buy him a few meals.
