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

After Chen Sanlin and the others left, Xiaoman came to return the bamboo tube.

At this time, Xu Wenyan was building a wall with the Zeng couple. Xiaoman put the bamboo tube into the house and came out to greet Xu Wenyan.

"Why are you the only one left?"

Seeing that it was Xiaoman who came, Xu Wenyan put down the brick in his hand and talked to him. The Zeng couple just glanced at him and continued to work.

"It's time to pay the wages, so let Brother Chen and the others go back first."

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Wenyan had to continue working. Xiaoman wanted to help Xu Wenyan, so she pushed him onto a small stool beside him and said, "I'll let you work even if you're injured. When you're healed, I'll ask you for help even if you don't come."

Xiaoman basked in the sun for the whole afternoon, leaning against the wall, feeling the sunlight on her face. She closed her eyes and felt a warm red color in front of her eyes.

It would be nice if I could just relax like this forever.

Cozy.

"Xiao Man?"

Seeing that Xiaoman didn't react, Xu Wenyan snapped his fingers in front of him again.

"You kid, you'll catch a cold if you sleep here." Xu Wenyan rubbed his head, and the man leaning against the wall had sleepy eyes.

"Sorry, I squinted accidentally."

Seeing Xiaoman wake up, Xu Wenyan walked to the yard. His clothes were dirty and he needed to change. "How is it? You want to see me today for something, right?"

Xiaoman stood up and stretched, then followed Xu Wenyan in a daze, following him into the house.

"Ah... it's the elm seeds. When we made them, they were always in irregular shapes, so Commander Wang wanted... wanted..." Xiaoman yawned first and spoke in a daze. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Wenyan who was changing clothes.

In fact, it is not uncommon to see brothers with bare chests in the military camp, but it is different for Xu Wenyan. His mind becomes clear instantly and he lowers his head slightly.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Wenyan was also amused: "Haha, Xiaoman, why do you look like a young wife?"

"No! I didn't." Xiaoman crossed her fingers and rubbed them back and forth.

After changing clothes, Xu Wenyan took Xiaoman out and said, "Okay, I get it. This elm seed steamed bread is very easy to make. How come it doesn't have a fixed shape?"

Because there were so many things in the house that needed to be left unattended, Xu Wenyan could only ask the Zeng couple to help look after them for a while, and then he hurriedly followed Xiaoman to the military tent.

As soon as he arrived at the military tent, Luo Sanyuan started complaining to Xu Wenyan about some things, such as being bitten by mosquitoes, seeing several millipedes, not having a full dinner, and the wound on his back hurting again.

While Xu Wenyan was teaching Xiaoman how to cook, she was also listening to Luo Sanyuan's chatter, occasionally responding.

In fact, this kind of life is pretty good. I have been away from the Internet for a year and gradually accepted it. Now every day is very fulfilling.

With a group of good friends around you, you won’t feel lonely at all.

The sounds in his ears gradually became blurred, and Xu Wenyan recalled the days when he worked in Gulin City.

At nine o'clock in the morning, I go to the bun shop downstairs to buy five buns and a cup of soy milk, and go to get off work on time. I get off work at six o'clock. I hold my mobile phone and watch short videos for an hour. When it's almost time, I carefully select a takeaway with high discount coupons.

Occasionally, I would work the night shift.

It was just like the night when I first traveled through time, so miserable.

Because of my job, I just read books in the library.

The reason why Xu Wenyan knows a little bit about everything is probably because of his work. At first, he read some novels, such as Jin Yong and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Later, I started reading some history and science books, such as "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Tiangong Exploitation" etc. If I had to say his favorite books, they would be the Encyclopedia of Plants and the Encyclopedia of Animals.

It's much more interesting when you look at it with pictures.

"Xu Wenyan? Xu Wenyan?" Xiaoman also imitated Xu Wenyan and rubbed his head.

I was a little hesitant at first. My hand stayed in the air for a long time before I made up my mind to rub it. The feeling was very different. I don’t know why, but it felt comfortable.

Feeling that he was being touched on the head, Xu Wenyan pinched Xiaoman's face and said, "Xiaoman, you are not a good student."

Rubbing his cheek, Xiaoman was a little confused by what Xu Wenyan said: "Didn't I learn it from you?"

"Then I am..." I couldn't tell Xiaoman that I was actually a gangster, and what I did was not a good thing.

Having this habit is simply because he had too many younger brothers around him in his previous life, and he also likes to pull people’s hair during fights.

Skipping this topic, Xu Wenyan picked out the steamed elm seeds with chopsticks. He couldn't do it many times anyway. The elm seeds would fall in a few days. It didn't matter whether Xiaoman learned it or not.

We fried some cabbage for the wounded soldiers, gave each of them half a corn and two elm seed steamed buns, and then we could start eating.

Because of the limited staff, only Xu Wenyan and Xiaoman were distributing food to the refugees.

Today, each person was given one extra meal in the evening, three adults and two children.

The distribution was going smoothly until a young man with a dark blue hairband and black linen clothes came to the rescue.

"Bah! What's so disgusting that you give us this to eat?" The man threw the steamed bread in his hand to the ground and kept spitting out elm seed residue from his mouth.

There was no expression on Xu Wenyan's face. He was very sensitive about wasting food. Not to mention the children in his family, even the elders like Zhou Jianye never left any food.

And Xu Wenyan rushed over and did it personally.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Dagang spit on the ground again: "What do you mean? Even dogs won't eat what you made."

"But, it seems you ate it yesterday too." Xu Wenyan remembered that this was the man who had fought with others when they were fighting for the shack yesterday, and he hit him with a stick. He must be holding a grudge.

But he can't hold a grudge like this. Not only is he living under someone else's roof, but food is in such a short supply now. Is there any need for him to stand out and seek death?

"I!..." Lu Dagang realized that he was in the wrong and stopped talking about this topic: "You deserve to eat wild vegetables in your life. You will be poor all your life."

"If you don't want to eat, get out of here quickly and don't delay others from eating." Xu Wenyan also knew that there were more than a dozen people in the Lu family, and they were all young and strong. It would be difficult to deal with them in public.

Lu Dagang moved to the side with an indifferent look on his face, and stomped on the elm seed steamed bread a few times with his feet as he left. And he was not the only one there. The dozen or so people who followed him, including the three children, were all from the Lu family.

He also imitated Lu Dagang and threw away the steamed bun in his hand. But throwing it away was not enough, he stomped on the bun a few times. If Xu Wenyan had not taken action yesterday, their family would have already lived in a shack, so why would they need to keep squeezing in the ancestral hall with others?

"Hey! Damn it, you said my brother Xu's cooking is bad? I can't help but beat you to death." Luo Sanyuan heard the noise outside and limped out.

Lu Dagang's family also looked at him with disdain. His wife Cui even covered her mouth and laughed, "Old Lu, this cripple said he wanted to beat you to death."

A family of more than a dozen people left the ancestral hall with smiles on their faces.

Luo Sanyuan was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Xu Wenyan shook his head. This elder brother was still so irritable: "Why are you so angry? It's directed at me." He handed the chopsticks to Xiaoman and asked Xiaoman to help put more food. Xu Wenyan helped Luo Sanyuan into the house.

"You are my brother, don't worry. When I recover from my injury, I must go and teach that damn boy a lesson."

"Okay, I appreciate your kindness, but I have my own way. Besides, at this critical moment, we can't do it openly."

We received news yesterday that the country has begun to investigate the results of the war. All people in the Lin Kingdom need to register, and post-war rehabilitation work must be started as soon as possible.

The country is in need of people right now, and these refugees in Jixiang Village have also been registered.

County Magistrate Cheng was punished by his superiors for the riot caused by the refugees, and now he will not allow any more trouble to happen in the three villages.

The settlement situation in the county alone was enough to give him a headache.

As for those people from the Lu family, they were courting death. They have already openly challenged us today. Don’t even think about getting any food from the military in the future.
