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

Xu Wenyan found a big rock to sit down next to Chen Sanlin.

"If you walk a little further in the direction you are going, you will reach the bamboo forest, right?" Xu Wenyan leaned against Chen Sanlin, holding the porridge.

"Well, you want to eat bamboo shoots?"

After taking a bite of the porridge, it tasted OK, not bad nor delicious, just OK: “I want to eat it, but the main thing is that there are no tools in the village now.

I plan to weave a backpack. The price has been set, fifteen cents each. We can do it together when the time comes."

Chen Sanlin paused and thought for a while: "Didn't the county sell it for more than 20 coins before? Why are we selling it so cheap?"

"Now is not the time. Who has money in their pockets now? If it is sold at a high price now, people can't afford it."

Chen Sanlin finished the porridge in the bowl in two gulps and hugged Xu Wenyan: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Looking at the lively scene in the distance, it was indeed the atmosphere of everyday life. Even the air seemed to have become different. Luo Sanyuan and Xiaohu were chatting in the distance, and Xu Wenyan could even hear their laughter from a distance.

"Brother Xu, come quickly, Brother Luo is telling a ghost story." Xiao Liu ran over, waved at Xu Wenyan, and pulled Xu Wenyan forward.

"Really!! We have to go."

When Xu Wenyan left, he grabbed Chen Sanlin again: "Brother Chen, let's go together." It can be noticed that Chen Sanlin's expression did not change because Xiao Liu pulled Xu Wenyan.

So this jealous person at home has also made some progress.

In order not to delay tomorrow's work, they went back after listening to the story.

Because Wei Zheng and Zhu Geng ran away, Xiaohu and Rong Xiaoliu moved back to their previous house, and Zhou Jianye slept in the second bedroom.

With the experience of the first day, the refugees gathered in front of Xu Wenyan's house early in the morning.

"Good morning, Brother Xu!" Zheng Liwei greeted Xu Wenyan with a smile.

Ever since they came into contact with Xu Wenyan yesterday, these refugees felt that Xu Wenyan was not a high-handed person, and now they were getting along more naturally.

I taught them how to recognize wild vegetables yesterday, and they have almost recognized them all. Today our main task is to dig up Houttuynia cordata. Xu Wenyan is also looking around to see if there is anything else edible around.

But after wandering around for a long time, I still didn't find any food with high yield.

Today is the day for the village to pay grain, and the horse-drawn carriages from the county are carrying four carriages.

Next month, winter corn and wheat can be harvested. Xu Wenyan has looked at it carefully. The harvest of the wheat and corn they planted will not be very good, but it will be a good harvest in the next crop.

After being out for half a day, Xu Wenyan also realized that there were still too few wild vegetables in the mountains. If a group of 500 people were sent out to harvest once, the second group would have to wait at least three or four days before going out again.

There is no way around it.

But fortunately, this Polygonum multiflorum grew very well, so he was able to return with a full load after being out for such a while. Just as he reached the entrance of the ancestral hall, he heard a quarrel ahead.

"We obviously contributed more, why should we all share equally?"

"How much effort did you put in? Who knows how much effort you put in? This is what we all gained together."

When Xu Wenyan got closer, he saw that it was the team led by the Han brothers and Rong Xiaoliu. Compared with the harmony in his own team, the situation on their side didn't seem to be very good.

"Han Lao Er, what's going on?"

Han Lao Er frowned and said, "Brother Xu, it's about the distribution of the last 5%. You said before that we should split it equally, but some people are not happy about it. I don't know what to do for the moment."

Xu Wenyan nodded and looked at the two people who were arguing. One of them looked obviously older, and the other should be about the same age as Zhou Jianye.

"Brother Xu." When Rong Xiaoliu saw Xu Wenyan walking towards him, he acted as if he had seen a savior.

"I know everything. Follow me." Xu Wenyan, Han Laoer and Xiao Liu walked to the front.

As the argument between the two intensified, the other people in the team also felt that this was unreasonable and always felt that they had contributed more than them.

More and more people joined the quarrel.

"Okay, listen to me." Xu Wenyan wanted to stop the current situation, but these refugees simply didn't listen to him. Xu Wenyan called out several times, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Oh, I'm really screwed." Xu Wenyan looked to the right, where there was a wooden stick, and was about to solve the problem violently.

"Boom--boom--"

I saw two sticks of firewood flying from a distance and hitting the two people who were arguing at the beginning right on the chest. The two men were knocked to the ground by the two sticks. One can imagine how much force the person who threw the firewood had.

"Xu Wenyan is talking to you nicely, are you all deaf?" A man's low voice came from the yard. The moment he saw Wang Zeren, the whole place suddenly fell silent.

After walking to Xu Wenyan, Wang Zeren stopped and looked coldly at the twenty or so people in front of him.

Everyone in Xu Wenyan's team was watching like spectators. Seeing other teams being humiliated and their own team being harmonious, they all felt a sense of honor.

Wang Zeren tugged at his coat and said, "If you don't want them, forget it. We'll talk about it when you want them." Then Wang Zeren gave Xiao Liu a look, and Xiao Liu stepped forward and put the wild vegetables back.

Seeing this scene, Han Laoer thought it was all over. After all, it was the team he led, and something went wrong.

"Han Laoer, do you need me to teach you how to lead people?" Wang Zeren asked without even looking at him.

Han Lao Er lowered his head and said, "I failed in my duty. I'm sorry."

"Next time this happens, you can come to me directly, or go to Luo Sanyuan." Wang Zeren took the stick from Xu Wenyan's hand and put it back in the corner.

When passing by, he leaned close to Xu Wenyan and said in a low voice: "You owe me a favor. I still want to eat the red bean cake from last time."

Xu Wenyan was stunned. Did he laugh just now?

He must have laughed just now!

It was only now that Xu Wenyan realized that the guy was just craving for pastries.

Never mind, the problem is solved anyway.

"Ahem, I won't give you today's harvest. Originally, you were supposed to hand in all the wild vegetables we found. I thought giving you a reward would give you more motivation.

It seems like you guys are disgusted with it, so forget it, just don’t give it to me.”

"Brother Xu, no, the mistakes they made have nothing to do with us." Zheng Liwei took two steps forward, his tone very exaggerated, and then looked at the twenty people from the other team with extreme resentment.

"Yes, yes, Brother Xu, just confiscate them. We cherish them very much!"

With the people in Xu Wenyan's team taking the lead, the people who had just quarreled were now regretting their decision, and one of them immediately lowered his head.

"Um, Brother Xu...Brother Xu, we were wrong. We will definitely do a good job next time. Please don't cancel it."

Seeing these thirty or forty people calling him brother, Xu Wenyan felt really uncomfortable.

Looking at Zheng Liwei's expression, Xu Wenyan knew that he was putting on a show for the other refugees, so Xu Wenyan naturally cooperated with him.

Xu Wenyan's face turned cold and he pretended to be in deep thought, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Okay, let's see how you perform next time."

"Okay, okay! We will definitely perform well."

This matter spread quickly. At first, Wang Zeren beat up the two people. Later, the matter was settled. Xu Wenyan said that if they fought again next time, he would not give them that portion of food.

Then Wang Zeren beat the two refugees to disability, and Xu Wenyan said that whoever performed badly would have nothing to eat.

In the end, the rumors became more and more outrageous, but the result was good anyway. At least the refugees became much more obedient.
