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

Wang Zeren did not lie.

A week later, the army really brought in a lot of wounded soldiers, and Jixiang Village became lively again temporarily.

Within this one month, most of the villagers with worms in their stomachs recovered, but there were inevitably some unlucky ones who could not vomit them out and had to lie at home.

If you are lucky, the worms may be pulled out or die in the stomach, but if you are unlucky, you can only wait to die.

Xiaoman said that the army was coming today, so he left early.

The wall of the house has been repaired, and now they need to build a pen for keeping livestock. The others are helping in the front, while Xu Wenyan takes Chen Sanlin to the back of the house.

Two meters away from the house, Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin began to dig. They wanted to make such a large area into a pond.

This location was chosen over and over again by Xu Wenyan.

The sun can only shine here during the day, and it cannot reach here in the afternoon, so the water in the pond will be much drier, but it will not lack oxygen.

If we start digging now, it will probably only take a little over a week to finish.

There is actually some skill to digging the ground. When lifting the hoe, you have to lift it high to save energy. This way, gravity will pull the hoe downward, allowing you to dig deep and be easier to control.

Moreover, the hoe must be slightly tilted before pulling. It cannot be pulled directly or tilted directly. If you continue like this, the hoe will quickly become scrapped.

Black Bear recovered from his injuries quickly and now helps Xu Wenyan with work.

Looking at the dog digging the soil with its two front paws, Xu Wenyan couldn't help but laugh: "How much can you dig like this? Look, you dig for a long time but still can't dig up as much soil as I do in one go, hahahaha."

Facing Xu Wenyan's ridicule, the black bear hummed twice, and then continued to speed up the digging of its two little paws.

Time always flies by quickly when you're working.

When Xiaoman came back at noon, he looked a little unwell.

"Xu Wenyan." Xiaoman sat down next to Xu Wenyan.

Handing the cup to Xiaoman, Xu Wenyan asked, "What's wrong? The new leader is hard to talk to."

Xiaoman nodded: "Well, there are not enough people in the military tent now. Doctor Zhao alone is taking care of 20 to 30 wounded soldiers. Obviously it is not enough."

"Then gather some people in the village to help."

"Yes, I have this plan, and I will get paid." Xiaoman drank the glass of water that Xu Wenyan handed over: "By the way, I have to go to the ancestral hall in the afternoon. The war is over, and now we have to choose a new village chief."

Hearing that the war was over, everyone's face relaxed.

At least for several years, I don't have to worry about living a life of escape.

"Brother Xingjie, this village should be led by you." Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Xingjie.

He just held Wang Dongmei's hand in a daze. He really hadn't heard the word "village" for a long time.

After a moment, Chen Xingjie smiled and shook his head: "Although we have a tradition of inheritance here, there are very few people in the village now. They used to be from Jixiang Village, so I guess they will be re-selected."

Xiaoman nodded and said, "That's right. The head of this village must be someone that the villagers trust, or a family elder or something like that. Commander Wang and Captain Zhu have also discussed and decided to re-select someone."

Captain Zhu was the commander-in-chief who brought the wounded soldiers with him. He was a sixth-rank official, and his rank was higher than Wang Zeren.

After returning, Wang Zeren would most likely be promoted to a sixth-rank military officer, and Captain Zhu was quite polite to him.

But Xu Wenyan knew that since someone was promoted based on relationships, how could the people below him really believe in him?

The time soon arrived in the afternoon.

The ancestral hall is like the mouth of the bottle in this village. Whenever something big happens that makes the bottle of the village tilt, people will always gather here.

Xiaohu carried Chen Dong on his back, while Xu Wenyan held the two little girls in each hand. Wang Dongmei did not come because it was too crowded here. She was almost four months pregnant, and this was the time that needed attention.

Soon, Xu Wenyan saw Captain Zhu on the stage.

He looked to be in his forties or fifties, and had barely reached the sixth rank. He was talking to Wang Zeren with a smile, but Wang Zeren still had that sour face.

It was not until she saw Xu Wenyan that she smiled at him.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Now that everyone is here, I will get straight to the point." Er Mazi shouted from the front, and then introduced Captain Zhu.

"Uncle, isn't Six younger than Seven? Is that grandpa not as powerful as Uncle Wang?" Rongrong said loudly while standing on tiptoe. After all, there were too many people here and everyone was talking, so it was inevitably a little noisy.

Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "This position cannot be calculated like this. It should be the smaller the position, the bigger the position."

“Why is it that the smaller the bigger?”

"Think about it, are six cabbages more rare than seven potatoes? The fewer there are of something, the rarer it is, and the rarer it is, the more expensive it is." Although Xu Wenyan's straightforward analogy was a bit strange, several children still showed expressions of "I see."

Soon, a slightly old but powerful voice came from above, Captain Zhu said: "We came here to bring you good news.

Our Lin Kingdom has won! "

"Really? We really won!"

"Then can we go home? We don't have to live a wandering life anymore."

The noisy sounds in the air rose and fell, and everyone's face was filled with different expressions, a kind of relief and liberation.

"Yes! You can go back to your hometown, or you can stay in Jixiang Village and become a villager of Jixiang Village. If you want to go back later, you can sign up with me. The day after tomorrow, our convoy will leave the village, and you can join me if you want to."

As soon as these words were spoken, many villagers rushed forward, as if as long as they signed up now, they would be able to return to their previous homes tomorrow.

Captain Zhu assured them, "Don't worry, wait until I finish my speech and then line up. The next step is the election of the village chief of Jixiang Village.

You should know that the village chief is under the head of the village and also needs to liaise with our government. I believe you also know the importance of the village chief to a village.

So we adopt the recommendation method.”

Captain Zhu paused and said with a smile, "Who would like to recommend me to be the village chief?"
