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

Take two wild yams into the kitchen.

After cleaning off the dirt on the surface, he chopped the deer ribs into pieces. Fortunately, he was only chopping the ribs, as the bones here were not very thick. However, it still made Xu Wenyan very tired.

The yam is also cut into pieces and stewed together. The rice has been steamed early and just needs to wait for the yam and pork ribs soup to be cooked. The only seasoning is a little salt, and there is not even any chili powder at home.

It seems that I need to buy some seasonings next time I go to the city. I have eaten too much heavy-tasting food, and my soup has been bland these days.

Xu Wenyan leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, thinking seriously about the future. When he went to the county the day before yesterday, he did recognize the characters here. Most of the textbooks he read when he was in junior high school were in traditional Chinese characters.

Although literacy is not difficult, Xu Wenyan has no intention of taking the imperial examination. It was not easy to be an official in ancient times. He was a time traveler with no background. Even if he tried his best, he would probably not escape death.

If you don't play well in the officialdom here, you will have enough people in your family to kill.

It would be nice to just farm in the countryside. It would be like traveling through time and space and living a new life.

Moreover, the land and air quality and species diversity in this era are better than those of modern times.

There are still a lot of job opportunities.

The aroma from the pot brought Xu Wenyan back to his senses. He took a sip of the soup with a wooden spoon and it was pretty good, thanks to the wild yam which removed the fishy smell and enhanced the flavor.

"It's time for dinner. Chen Sanlin, clear the table, wash your hands and eat." Xu Wenyan shouted. He finally understood that when you are sick, you have to exercise more. Although he still has a cough after running around these two days, overall he has felt much better.

Looking at the big pot of ribs, the adult and two children were a little bit unbelievable. Even people in the county would not dare to eat meat like this, let alone ribs.

"Uncle, are we celebrating the New Year in advance?" Chen Dong tilted his head slightly, and looked at Xu Wenyan with a pair of bright big eyes on his thin face.

"What New Year's celebration? I'm sick now. If you want to replenish your body, just consider it as taking advantage of me." Xu Wenyan knew that people here were reluctant to eat, but seeing the two children so thin did make Xu Wenyan feel distressed.

Whether it is to nourish yourself or to nourish your two children, you cannot be too compromising on food. This is the reason why the average life expectancy was not high in ancient times. Especially in years of disaster, countless people starved to death.

Modern people who grew up under the red flag rarely experience the feeling of hunger that makes them want to die.

The reason why there are so many wild vegetables and fruits recorded in modern society is that our ancestors fled famine and had nothing to eat, so they ate whatever they saw. If they ate it, they might survive, but if they didn’t, they would definitely die.

The discovery of so many edible species was entirely the result of our ancestors’ efforts to try them out one by one. This is probably why Xu Wenyan is keen on learning despite his bad personality.

The accumulation of knowledge can help him survive in this society, because it is the result of continuous accumulation of hundreds of millions of people. He only needs a few years to master so much knowledge, which is profitable.

The two children felt relieved when they heard that it was their uncle who was giving them the nourishment. They had heard from their uncle that their uncle was sick, and they didn't want to see him sick.

So when they were having dinner, the adults and children were sensible enough to only eat wild yams. Xu Wenyan was touched for a moment. People of this era were mostly simple and honest: "If you don't eat all the wild yams, how can I nourish my body? Just give me meat."

The meal ended just like that, and it was time for Xu Wenyan's most troublesome tasks, namely, taking medicine and brushing teeth. Tomorrow he must go to the village chief's house to get the horse's tail back.

After washing up, Xu Wenyan planned to measure Chen Sanlin with the help of the dim light. The clothes he was wearing were no longer a good fit. After all, he was only in his early twenties. In modern times, he was still in college and his height could still grow.

Chen Sanlin saw Xu Wenyan staring at him as soon as he entered the door: "What's wrong?"

"Come here and stand still." After Xu Wenyan gave the instructions, he began to take out a ball of thread from the sewing bag.

Seeing the big guy in front of me, I just felt a little silly: "Raise your hands."

Xu Wenyan hugged Chen Sanlin's waist and prepared to wrap the ball of thread around him, but Chen Sanlin was a little dazed by the hug.

He was slightly stunned, and lowered his head to look at Xu Wenyan, muttering to himself: "What are you doing, you little sickly boy..." Being hugged like this, Chen Sanlin felt his heartbeat slightly accelerated, and even his ears were a little red.

His hands were trembling slightly in the air, as if he had made up his mind. Chen Sanlin put down his hands and held Xu Wenyan in his arms. The man in his arms was very thin, and he could hold him with one arm. His waist was very soft, and as long as he exerted a little force, he would fall into his arms, with a little fragrance...

"Hey, stop it. I'm busy." Xu Wenyan, who was held by Chen Sanlin, didn't care. When they were in college, these straight guys often played this kind of trick. What's wrong with brothers hugging each other?

“None of them makes me feel at ease.”

Hearing Xu Wenyan say this, Chen Sanlin was a little reluctant to let go of his hands. He had already begun to miss the dreamlike feeling just now. Chen Sanlin didn't know how to describe it specifically, but it was somehow sweet.

After some effort, I finally finished measuring Chen San. I blew out the candle and prepared to go to bed. I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow.

But Xu Wenyan had been lying on the bed for a while, while Chen Sanlin was still standing there in a daze: "How is it? Aren't you sleepy yet? Go to bed quickly and accompany me to the village chief's house tomorrow."

Hearing Xu Wenyan's slightly sleepy voice, Chen Sanlin came back to his senses, walked to the bed and took off his clothes.

Xu Wenyan turned sideways and just happened to see this scene with the help of moonlight. They were all villagers, but none of the other men were as strong as Chen Sanlin. His skin color was a little bit whiter than other men in the village, but only a little bit.

The shape of his pectoral muscles is very standard, and his abdominal muscles are six packs. Maybe it's because of genetics. Although there are only six packs, each one is clearly distinguishable. Looking at him and then pinching her own bones, Xu Wenyan was envious.

When Chen Sanlin saw Xu Wenyan staring at his body like this, the redness on his ears had spread to the base of his ears.

Xu Wenyan looked at the big man with a shy look on his face and felt very uncomfortable.

She thought to herself, why does this look like a young wife? She smiled at Chen Sanlin, turned her head, and slowly fell asleep.

What Xu Wenyan didn't know was that everything he did tonight was regarded as a tease by Chen Sanlin.

Chen Sanlin looked at his body, very confused as to why he was smiling. Was he trying to seduce him? Although she was already his wife, they had only known each other for a short time... Let's take it slow.

Take it easy.
