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

Another spring has arrived.

Send off the New Year on New Year’s Eve.

The last Spring Festival left everyone with bad memories, so the whole family was preparing early this morning.

"Xiaodong, go get the wooden board." Xu Wenyan picked up a piece of bamboo charcoal and was thinking about what couplet to write.

There is no condition at home, so I can only use this wooden board to make couplets. It's not that paper ones are unaffordable, but wood is more cost-effective and it is guaranteed to remain intact all year round.

In the past, my uncle’s family would put up Spring Festival couplets, but they would be blown away by the wind before the spring even came.

At that time, I was very talkative and always said "my blessing is gone" and "my blessing is gone".

This is not.

It's miserable that I traveled back to ancient times.

As for how his uncle's family is doing, he doesn't know.

I haven't had much contact with my uncle's family since I started living in the school dormitory in middle school.

"Here I come, little uncle."

The three children each held a piece of wood and ran over excitedly.

She was wearing new clothes made by Wang Cuijuan, which she had changed into early in the morning.

The whole family was preparing food by the stove, except for Wang Dongmei. After everyone knew she was pregnant, they didn't let her work.

I also heard Xu Wenyan say that Luo Sanyuan and the others were coming, so I had to prepare more delicious food to entertain them. Those people’s appetites are no joke.

Some dishes that require a long time to prepare have already been stewed, such as mushroom stewed with dried chicken. Various types of mushrooms are put in, focusing on the delicious taste.

There is also dried bamboo shoots stewed with cured pork ribs. This is the last bit of bamboo shoots. I didn’t eat any of the ones I picked before, and kept them until now.

There were fried beans with bacon, spicy rabbit, spicy dried fish, and a large platter of wild vegetables.

The staple food is a mixture of rice and red beans, and each person is also given a bowl of kudzu root powder to ensure a comfortable meal.

"Brother Chen, your clothes don't look too good. I'll find time to mend them for you." Xu Wenyan touched the holes on Chen Sanlin's clothes.

Living in this mountain forest, you can't help walking and running around in the forest, so your clothes will naturally be worn out faster than when you live in the village.

Chen Sanlin hugged Xu Wenyan's waist, pressed his forehead against Xu Wenyan's forehead, and rubbed it again: "Okay."

"daughter in law."

"Hmm?" Being hugged by Chen Sanlin, Xu Wenyan couldn't help but sigh that Chen Sanlin was becoming more and more courageous. When he first came, he didn't even dare to touch him, let alone hug him.

This man is really getting more shameless.

"Will you suffer if you follow me?"

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Yes, we are still suffering now."

Although it is true, compared with others, it is really much better.

Chen Sanlin's eyes darkened and he buried his face in Xu Wenyan's shoulder: "I know, thank you for your hard work, I will work hard."

"Haha." Xu Wenyan patted him and said, "I was just kidding. Didn't I say I would support you? From now on, you can just stay at home and be my househusband."

Compared to Chen Sanlin, Xu Wenyan feels this sense of responsibility even more.

Especially after she had accepted her marriage to Chen Sanlin.

When he first came, this family did cost Chen Sanlin a lot of money, whether it was for medical treatment or for the troubles at home. Fortunately, this guy supported him.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Wenyan felt that he owed him nothing since he had not left anything for him.

Seeing that Chen Sanlin was still lying on his shoulder, Xu Wenyan said again to comfort him.

"You're lying. I'm doing fine."

By noon, a loud voice drowned out the sound of the waterfall. It was Xiaohu who went to pick up Luo Sanyuan and his group. There were eight people in total.

What surprised Xu Wenyan was that Wang Zeren actually came.

"Happy New Year, Xu Wenyan." Wang Zeren raised the corners of his mouth slightly and put the gift that Xiao Liu was holding behind him in Chen Sanlin's hand.

"Happy New Year, why are you here? Is everything ok in the village?"

Wang Zeren stretched lazily. "Of course it matters. I stayed up for several nights to deal with the mess so that I could spend the New Year with you. How are you going to thank me?"

"Hehe...haha." Xu Wenyan had already sensed Chen Sanlin's anger, and immediately pushed the smiling fox into the house: "You must be tired after walking for so long, come in and sit down." Then he immediately winked at Xiaoman.

Xiaoman smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Brother Chen. I wonder how many prey you have caught..."

"You guys sit down first, I have another dish that will be ready soon." Xu Wenyan said as he walked towards the stove. The two chickens were slaughtered in the morning and should be marinated now.

Due to limited conditions, Xu Wenyan was unable to get starch, so let's just do this for now.

The two marinated chickens are coated with batter with eggs added into the batter, then coated with a layer of breadcrumbs and fried directly. When marinating, use bamboo sticks to give the chicken a full body massage so that it can absorb the flavor.

"Wow, you're going to make me die of hunger, it smells so good." Luo Sanyuan came over after smelling the aroma.

"It's not customary to say that word during the New Year." Xu Wenyan chuckled and passed a piece of fried flour to Luo Sanyuan, as if teasing a child.

"Puh, puh, puh." Luo Sanyuan slapped his mouth lightly: "Look at my mouth, this thing smells so good, don't I smell meat? How come it's made of flour?"

It was such a small piece, but Luo Sanyuan swallowed it in one gulp.

"Go wait at the table, you'll know in a moment."

When Xu Wenyan brought the fried chicken to the table, everyone looked at it with curiosity.

"Brother Xu, what is this?" Xiaohu was already drooling when he saw the whole chicken being fried like this, but he just didn't know how to eat it.

Xu Wenyan broke off a chicken leg for Xiaohu: "You don't dislike me, do you?"

"How could that be?" Xiaohu didn't expect that he would be the first one to eat this fried chicken.

This fried chicken not only looks novel, but also tastes unique. It has a golden and crispy crust on the outside, and the chicken inside is still juicy. Because it is pheasant meat, it is firmer.

The remaining three chicken legs were small, so Rong Xiaoliu could only eat chicken wings.

After that, he had to quickly divide the money among the ancestor Chen Sanlin. Seeing that his wife gave it to him first, he looked at Wang Zeren proudly.

Wang Zeren just smiled, and Xu Wenyan handed him a chicken wing. He looked at it and said, "I want to eat a chicken drumstick, too."

"Do I look like a chicken leg?" Xu Wenyan didn't want to curse during the New Year.

"Brother Xu, I don't want to be picky, give it to me." When Luo Sanyuan watched Xiaohu eating, he was dazzled by the fragrance and has been waiting until now.

Except for the fried chicken, the mushroom soup, the spicy rabbit, and the wild vegetables, all the dishes seemed to taste good.

In fact, it’s not that Xu Wenyan and Wang Cuijuan’s cooking skills are really that good. First, they are willing to use the best ingredients, and second, these people haven’t eaten these things for a long time, so they think they are delicious.

"Hey, Xu Wenyan, Brother Wang also brought some wine, what time do you have?"

When Xu Wenyan heard about wine, he got excited. He has loved it since he was a child.

“It has to be fixed!”

There are three big jars in total. Although it is not the best wine, it is not bad either. At least it is not so irritating to the throat. If it were not for the fact that it was good to be an official in ancient times, you would still be able to drink wine in such a chaotic time of war.

Xiaohu ran to get the bamboo tube.

Luo Sanyuan filled up all the men here.

"Hey, don't pour it for Xiaoliu, he's still a child."

Xu Wenyan hurriedly stopped him.

"Brother Xu! I can do it!"

"That's right. You're already a grown man. I started drinking when I was ten years old. It's no big deal." Luo Sanyuan said directly and filled his glass.

"I'm not good at talking and don't know what to say. Let me offer a toast to everyone first." Luo Sanyuan was also generous and drank a glass of white wine as soon as he said it.

As the host here, Zhou Jianye also returned a glass.

"Hahaha, Xu Wenyan, let's have a good drink." Luo Sanyuan clinked glasses with Xu Wenyan. Xu Wenyan smelled the aroma of the wine, which was really strong.

As soon as the tip of my tongue touched the wine, the taste came up instantly. It was really damn spicy, much spicier than the wine in my previous life.

"Oh, sure. Let's..."

Before Luo Sanyuan could finish his words, Xu Wenyan put his left foot on the stool and said, "Drink! Let's continue!"

"Pfft."

The next second, Xu Wenyan fell into the arms of Chen Sanlin next to him.

No one knew he could drink so little...

Everyone was scared for a moment.
