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

The two of them just sat in the yard, waiting for them to come back.

Xu Wenyan was bored so he held the front of the chair and rocked it back and forth, thinking that he must make a rocking chair. He thought lying in a rocking chair and basking in the sun would be so comfortable.

"Hey, you two are back early." Zhou Jianye carried a piece of ash wood on his shoulder and leaned it against the wall of the yard.

"You are finally back." Xu Wenyan stood up and said, "Second uncle, I am sorry to bother you to go back today. You can now transport the things at home here. I guess Brother Xingjie and his family must have only been planting sweet potatoes for a short time, so don't plant other crops next.

Now the village is just waiting for the sweet potatoes to be harvested and handed in, which will be the last batch of grain, and then we can get our land back.”

Zhou Jianye was extremely excited when he heard the news. In comparison, Chen Sanlin and Rong Xiaoliu were very calm. After all, they would be wherever Xu Wenyan was, so it would basically not affect them.

"Do I want to go too?" Chen Sanlin walked to Xu Wenyan, and Xu Wenyan brushed off the dirt and dead leaves on him.

"Go ahead. You're strong and can carry a lot at a time. If we don't let them do it, they won't be able to do it."

This time I will send Wang Dongmei back first. After all, it is safer to give birth to a child in the village.

As soon as they finished lunch, the four of them headed towards the shelter.

"Xiao Man, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

Xu Wenyan carried a hoe and prepared to dig the foundation a little. Now that Xiaoman would be staying in the village in the future, he had to treat him as one of his own. After all, he would also live in this house.

"Nothing, what can I do for you?"

"Hey, do something exciting."

Xiaoman swallowed and said, "Enjoy it?"

..........

The sun had not yet set when Chen Sanlin and his companions returned to the shelter. In spring and summer, the daytime hours were longer.

Xiaohu told everyone what Xu Wenyan had said.

"Really? That's great." The happiest person among them was Chen Xingjie. His wife's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Being a father for the first time, his feelings were indescribable. He was just excited and thrilled.

"Also, we need to leave some people here. The rabbit houses and sheep pens in the village have not been built yet, so we need to leave some people at home," Chen Sanlin added. These were all told to him by Xu Wenyan.

The family discussed for a while and decided to let Zhou Jianye, Wang Cuijuan and Xiaohu stay here. Firstly, there were other people living in Zhou Jianye's house, and secondly, Wang Cuijuan was pregnant, so Chen Xingjie could not stay.

"Uncle, Ruhua has been missing these few days. I'm afraid you will be angry when you come back." Chen Dong walked to Chen Sanlin with a worried look on his little face.

Ruhua disappeared after Xu Wenyan and the others left, and it could not be seen in the nest.

Chen Sanlin didn't know what to do: "She should be back, don't worry." In fact, he was also very worried. You know, Ruhua basically only sticks to Xu Wenyan. What if Xu Wenyan knew that Ruhua was missing and got angry?

Now we can only hope that this little guy can fly back on his own.

I took inventory of the animals at home. There are more than 30 chickens, a dozen chicks, and a lot of rabbits. I can't count them all. The pen is full of them anyway.

As for the two lambs, they became very energetic when they grew up and ran back and forth in the pen every day.

Every day when I go to the village, I mainly bring bedding and food. It’s really tiring to go back and forth, but there’s nothing I can do.

After dinner, Zhou Rong approached Chen Sanlin: "Cousin, do I have to go back to the village too?"

"I suggest that you and your second uncle stay here for two months, or at least wait until May or June, when the sweet potatoes in the village are harvested, and then you go back. Now the land has been used by refugees, so it's difficult to go back." As for Wang Dongmei and the others going back, it was to facilitate subsequent production.

In fact, Zhou Rong didn’t really want to go back. On the contrary, she felt more comfortable staying in the mountains.

The next morning, Chen Sanlin carried some tools and clothes for changing, Chen Xingjie carried bedding, and Wang Dongmei didn't need to take anything, as it was very hard for a pregnant woman just to walk.

Xiaohu, Zhou Jianye and Rong Xiaoliu were carrying potatoes and some dry goods. They also had to stay there for a few days. Xu Wenyan said that they wanted to expand the house and wanted to help with the work.

Now there are two women and three children in the family. The hardest part every day is feeding the livestock. We basically don’t have to worry about the fields.

Xiaoman got up late today, which is rare.

Yesterday, Xu Wenyan said that the most enjoyable thing he did was to accompany him in digging the foundation. The two of them dug for an entire afternoon and only found three trenches, which really exhausted them both.

It was really exhilarating.

"Xiaoman, get up. I have to go to a few houses to ask for bricks today." Xiaoman was sleeping in the guest room, so Xu Wenyan went straight in and shook him awake.

Xiaoman rubbed his eyes and yawned: "Where are you going to get the bricks?"

"For the previous twenty team members, each of them was given a rabbit and one hundred bricks, so twenty people would be two thousand bricks. By the way, what about the team members led by you and my second uncle, are they obedient?" Xu Wenyan estimated that forty rabbits were about enough, but after thinking about it carefully, if he asked for a few more live rabbits for them, wouldn't they be more valuable?

Who says it has to be eaten?

"They are quite obedient and honest."

So finally Xu Wenyan set the price at one hundred and twenty bricks for a live rabbit. If they wanted to have puppies, he would let them breed them themselves. Anyway, he would only give one to each person, and Xu Wenyan could not afford more.

After a simple meal, the two went to gather people. The first house Xu Wenyan went to was Zheng Liwei's, because he was the only one who told her his address.

As for whose home the place he lived in was before, Xu Wenyan had no idea, after all, he had only been in the village for a short time.

The door was closed. Xu Wenyan knocked twice but no one opened the door, so he had to shout, "Zheng Liwei! Are you home?"

About two minutes later, the door was opened. Xu Wenyan looked down and saw a little girl of about six or seven years old. She was fair-skinned and wearing cotton. A woman in her twenties was chasing after her.

"Yuanyuan, don't run." It can be seen that the woman's clothes are not particularly poor, and her willow-shaped eyebrows are extremely beautiful.

The girl also inherited her mother's eyebrows and face shape, and her eyes are like Zheng Liwei's, with big eyes.

"You are, Brother Xu, right? My old Zheng is thinking about something in there." The woman picked up the girl and invited Xu Wenyan in.

After the woman entered the house, Zheng Liwei's voice came out before he even left the main hall: "Brother Xu, why are you here? Hahaha, come in and sit down."

Xu Wenyan was invited in. The room was very simple. The family of three slept together. There were no extra mattresses and only two stools. After Xu Wenyan and Zheng Liwei sat down, his wife had to stand.

"This is the princess' daughter, Yuanyuan, and this is my wife, Zhong Li."

Xu Wenyan nodded towards Zhong: "I came to you to ask you to help me call the twenty people in our group to our house."

"What kind of invitation is this? Brother Xu, just give me a call and I'll be there right away."

"Your wife just said you were thinking about something."

"Oh." Zheng Liwei took out a booklet from his arms and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I'm doing the accounting."

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Wenyan saw the abacus on the table. Ordinary people would not use such a thing.

"Haha, you used to be an accountant." Xu Wenyan was thirsty while walking, so he picked up the hot water on the table and took a sip.

"Well, I used to work as a bookkeeper in a restaurant in Dongzhou." Zheng Liwei shook his head and said, "I worked so hard to get promoted, but now I'm facing a war again."

Xu Wenyan also lamented that in the face of natural disasters and man-made calamities, it is really difficult for ordinary people to choose their own destiny.
