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

The villagers were extremely excited.

But they just stared at each other for a quarter of an hour.

In this quarter of an hour, no one came forward to recommend themselves.

Everyone knows how troublesome it is to be the village chief now. Before, Wang Zeren was the acting village chief, but that was at most supervision and suppression. The elected village chief cannot be like them.

It is not easy to find such a person.

The government now requires refugees to return their land. Anyone who has a land deed or a house deed can get back their previous land. If they don't have a land deed, the village chief will organize outsiders to rent the land.

As for the policy from above, how much can be implemented actually depends on the intention of the village chief. If the village chief wants to give you more, he will give you more, if he wants to give you less, he will give you less. As for whether you can really get your land back, it is unknown. Anyway, this is the notice from above.

It's like talking about the tax payment issue in the past.

The government requires a 70% tax, but through all the layers of exploitation, it has been exploited to 90%.

If there is a simple and upright village chief, the villagers will naturally be able to benefit well from the country's policies.

But when you meet someone with a black heart, he wants to cover up everything.

It is entirely possible to distribute large amounts of land to people who are familiar with you or relatives, turning those outsiders into your tools, and thus becoming a big landowner.

Although Jixiang Village seems peaceful now, it has been suppressed by Wang Zeren.

But what happens after Wang Zeren leaves?

Everyone has his or her own little calculations in mind.

“I think I can be the village chief.”

Everyone looked over there in unison.

"Isn't that Lu Dagang? He hasn't even finished his work yet and he wants to be the village chief."

"Yes, don't you look at your own virtues?"

When Captain Zhu heard the discussions below, although his face was not good, he still called Lu Dagang up. After all, he was the only one who dared to recommend him, so he had to take the lead.

"How can that thing be a good thing, Brother Xingjie? If it were me, I would just go up and give it a try. You are at least a thousand times better than that Lu Dagang." Xiaohu looked at Lu Dagang who was walking forward with disdain. He could already imagine how chaotic Jixiang Village would become after Lu Dagang became the village chief.

Chen Xingjie was not a pretentious person. After all, this land had been relatively peaceful under the leadership of his father. Although he was not very interested in being the village chief, he would never allow such a person to mess up the village.

"I also want to be the village chief." Chen Xingjie raised his hand.

There was still a lot of discussion around. Although it was not bad, everyone was wondering whether this person was capable. But soon, someone in the crowd recognized Chen Xingjie.

"Isn't this Xiao Chen? The son of the village chief in our former village."

Chen Xingjie also recognized this person. Although they had not had much interaction in the village before, they could still talk to each other.

In this comparison, the village chief's son seems to be more qualified to be the village chief.

"Brother Xu, don't you want to give it a try?" Rong Xiaoliu looked at the two people on the stage. Although Chen Xingjie was also quite suitable to be the village chief, Rong Xiaoliu believed that Xu Wenyan had better management capabilities.

Along the way, he was the one who led everyone to search for food, build shelters, and unite everyone. If we were to say who is the most suitable person to be the village chief in the village now, Xu Wenyan is also a very suitable candidate.

"Me? I'm not interested." Xu Wenyan said bluntly. He would have to open a shop in the future. If he was busy all the time and had to take care of the affairs of the village, he would be extremely busy.

By then, the village will not be managed well and the business will not be done well.

"I think Captain Xu can also be the village chief!" said a middle-aged man in the crowd. He was a member of the team that had been formed to look for wild vegetables.

"Yes, Captain Xu is well-informed and has medical skills. He will definitely be a good village chief."

The comments aroused Zhu's interest. Is there such a person in this village? There are not many people who know medicine.

"Who is Xu Wenyan? Please come up and talk."

Helplessly, Xu Wenyan had to let go of the two little girls' hands and walked onto the stage.

Commander Zhu was a little surprised to see that Captain Xu, whom the villagers were talking about, was actually such a young man.

"I object. Xu Wenyan is the male wife and adopted brother of the Chen family. Can he be the village chief with such a status?" The speaker was Lu Sangang.

Ever since his eldest and second brothers were taken away to work for other villagers, almost all the housework fell on him. In just a few days, he was already overwhelmed.

All of this was caused by Xu Wenyan. If he becomes the village chief, will the family be able to live in peace in the future?

"Yes, Captain Xu is capable, but..."

"In this village, only the head of the family can be the village chief. I have never heard of a man's wife being the village chief."

It was Lu Sangang's words that triggered a flurry of discussion among the crowd.

Most people recognized Xu Wenyan's abilities. After all, he was the one who found food for the village, built shacks, dealt with rats and pests, and treated illnesses.

But the village chief was always influenced by traditional ideas, and it was really inappropriate for a man's wife to be the village chief.

Xu Wenyan didn't react after hearing this. He didn't want to be the village chief in the first place, and everything he did before was for his own benefit.

These people are all the same, whether they were from the village before or the outsiders now, they all make Xu Wenyan uncomfortable.

But what Commander Zhu did not expect was that after that, no one wanted to step forward to compete for the position of village chief. When did the position of village chief become so unattractive?

The final selection result was neither good nor bad. Chen Xingjie could only take over his father's job.

In fact, nearly half of the people don’t care much about the selection of the village chief. The war is over and they don’t want to stay here, in this small village.

They want to go home.

As soon as the selection was over, many villagers came to Captain Zhu to ask for help in registering, but the convoy was limited in space, so they could only take away those who were passing by.

Before they left, Xu Wenyan told them that those who still owed money could leave.

But the crops they grew were later used to pay off debts.

Ninety-five percent of the harvested grain still needs to be handed over. This time, only sweet potatoes and rapeseed are handed over. Compared to money, Xu Wenyan needs food more now.

As modern people, the more variety of appetites the better.

After that it was the handover work between Chen Xingjie and Er Mazi.

That night, there was a knock on Chen Sanlin's door. It was Luo Sanyuan and others.

Xu Wenyan invited eight people into the house.

"Brothers, what's wrong? Why come here so late at night?" There were not so many stools at home, so Xu Wenyan lit the fireplace and let the faint firelight slowly fill the house.

"Xu Wenyan, Brother Chen, you also know that we are leaving here." This was the first time Xu Wenyan heard Luo Sanyuan speak in this tone.

Looking at his slightly ugly expression, Xu Wenyan just smiled and said, "You can't bear to leave me, your brother."

"Yeah." This time he didn't refute.

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you guys to a drink the day after tomorrow, how about that?"

Xiao Liu rubbed his nose and said, "Brother Xu, do you still have wine?"

This wine was the one Xu Wenyan had placed in the cellar of the shelter. It was almost done brewing.

"Of course, you guys call me Brother Xu, Brother Xu, and as the eldest brother, I can't not even give you a sip of wine." Xu Wenyan patted Xiao Liu on the back.

This child was only fifteen or sixteen, about the same age as Xiaohu, but he was sent to the battlefield so early. You have to know that in modern society, a child of this age is only in middle school, which is the age for fighting, but now he has to experience life and death.

Looking at these silent men, Xu Wenyan said again: "Come back with me tomorrow and help me move some things back."

Counting the time, I haven’t been back to the shelter for a month. I wonder how Zhou Jianye and the others are doing.

"Of course." Luo Sanyuan agreed readily.

They chatted for a while and then sent them away.

"Brother Chen, you're going to be doing business with your brother Xu soon. Are you nervous?" Xu Wenyan raised his eyebrows at Chen Sanlin and said with a smile.

Chen Sanlin slowly stood up and picked up Xu Wenyan high up.

"With Brother Xu here, I'm not afraid."

Looking at Chen Sanlin's smiling face, Xu Wenyan finally felt that there was someone behind him who could always support him.

What a rare and beautiful thing it is.
