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

After pulling back the first batch of stones, Xu Wenyan felt that there were enough small stones.

"You guys can't find any large stone slabs when you look for them. If you can't move them, I'll call two more people tomorrow to bring me some pine branches from the mountains." After giving instructions on the task, Xu Wenyan went about his own business.

Take out the long and thin firewood in the yard, pick those with a diameter of about four centimeters, and tie five pieces of firewood together with rattan of a determined length. These rattans were brought back from the mountain yesterday.

In this way, they can be combined into a wooden board. The front end of the board should be left longer with each other so that the two rows of wood can be staggered and fitted together on the beam.

But within an hour, Xu Wenyan heard the sound of an ox cart outside the yard.

"How did you two get it back? This big stone slab must weigh dozens of kilograms." Xu Wenyan was a little scared when he saw the big thing on the ox cart.

"Brother Sanlin and I lifted it together. Brother Sanlin is really strong. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to lift it."

Chen Sanlin raised his chin towards Xu Wenyan, his face full of an expression that said "Praise me quickly".

Xu Wenyan also smiled and shook his head helplessly: "Great, great, my Sanlin is the best."

Chen Sanlin's eyes widened immediately, the smile on his face deepened, and his mind was filled with the four words "my Sanlin".

After they came back, they helped to make the wooden boards together. Then they climbed up the ladder to the roof to first splice the wooden boards together, and finally laid the fallen pine branches on them. They made sure to put the branches facing upwards and lay them layer by layer.

Because the fireplace was built in the middle, the chimney could only go out from the roof. Xu Wenyan had already reserved the position of the window. In the afternoon, the earth wall was demolished along the place where Xu Wenyan drew. This was also a delicate job. Xu Wenyan carefully reminded Chen Sanlin to make sure before starting.

After the opening is completed, you can prepare to make the fireplace. Of course, that will have to wait until tomorrow. Today, we still have to go and pull a cart of limestone, and mix it with loess after burning it.

Use stones to build a square mold at the bottom, and then fill it with yellow sand. The purpose of this is to keep warmer. The fireplace becomes thinner as it goes up, and the largest stone slab is placed one meter above the ground.

It took three people a lot of strength to lift the stone slab up. The stone slab was so heavy that Xu Wenyan felt like his hands were about to be pulled off.

Xu Wenyan gave him the method of building the fireplace because he had more important things to do.

But before Xu Wenyan could go out, he met Zhao Tiezhu pacing back and forth at the door.

"Hey, Sanlin's wife, hehe." Zhao Tiezhu looked at Xu Wenyan with a silly smile on his face.

Looking at Zhao Tiezhu's expression, Xu Wenyan immediately felt that he was up to no good.

"What's wrong? Lao Lin has something to do and hasn't been hunting these days."

"No, you misunderstood. I heard that your family is renovating the house. I'm here to help." Zhao Tiezhu rubbed his hands and his eyes were wrinkled when he smiled.

Xu Wenyan also smiled and said, "Okay, we are busy right now. Brother Tiezhu, you are so kind and righteous. It is really a blessing for Lao Lin. It's just that I bought medicine a few days ago, and there is no extra money at home, so I can only pack food. Brother Tiezhu is so enthusiastic, so please do it."

After saying that, Xu Wenyan walked out of the village. Didn't he just want to get the fifteen cents wages? He came here on his own accord without being called.

When Zhao Tiezhu saw that Xu Wenyan couldn't make his point, he went to find Chen Sanlin. Logically speaking, the man is the head of the family, and his words didn't carry much weight as a married man. In the end, it was still Chen Sanlin who made the final decision.

But Chen Sanlin’s subsequent words left Zhao Tiezhu speechless.

"He manages all the money in my family. If he says there's no money, then there's no money." Chen Sanlin continued with his work. Xu Wenyan said that if he didn't finish half of it today, he would have no food to eat...

"No, Old Chen, how can you, a man, let your wife be the boss? We men's job is to make our wives obedient. What if she becomes disloyal after you stop being the boss?" Tie Tiezhu spoke to Chen Sanlin earnestly, as if he was an experienced person.

Chen Sanlin was a little annoyed by what he said. He didn't like getting along with others because he felt it was troublesome. He kept nagging in his ear. Chen Sanlin felt like his head was going to explode: "If you don't want to help, get out. Stop making noise here."

Zhao Tiezhu was stunned. This was the first time Chen Sanlin spoke in this tone. It seemed that he must have been harmed by the man from Xujia Village: "No, I'm helping you..."

Seeing that Zhao Tiezhu wanted to say something, Xiaohu pulled him out of the yard in a joking manner.

Zhao Tiezhu, who was driven away, felt very angry when he saw the dilapidated yard of Chen family and Xu Wenyan who spoke in a sarcastic tone.

......

It took Xu Wenyan two hours to reach the entrance of Xujia Village. This time he arrived much faster than the last time.

But before entering Xujia Village, he heard the sound of a woman crying in the woods. It’s not that Xu Wenyan wanted to meddle in other people’s business, but this was the only way to get into Xujia Village.

I wanted to walk over quickly, but found that it was an acquaintance.

Xu Jinhua saw who was coming and wiped the tears from her eyes: "Brother, why... are you here?"

"Um, ha, the weather is really nice today." Xu Wenyan smiled naively.

"Rumble--"

Xu Jinhua looked up and saw that the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder was rumbling from time to time. It looked like it was going to rain.

Xu Wenyan, who had just finished saying that the weather was really nice: "......"

"Let's go home first. You'll get sick if you get caught in the rain." Xu Jinhua looked at Xu Wenyan with slightly red eyes, and only quickened her pace when she saw him following her.

In fact, in the original body's memory, his brothers and sisters in the family were quite nice to him. When Xu Dashan was a child, they would help him clean up more when weeding.

Xu Jinhua would wash a few more dishes when washing them. Although she didn't talk much, the original brother and sister cared about this skinny brother in their own way.

The reason why Xu Wenyan was treated like this was mostly due to Zhang. She was the daughter of a wealthy family in the neighboring village, and the family became wealthy after marrying their daughter off. Zhang therefore always blamed Xu Fu, saying that he was the one who ruined her life of wealth and honor.

Xu Fu took it seriously and tolerated Zhang in every way.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Xu Jinhua came into the room and brought a stool to Xu Wenyan for him to sit down.

Zhang was eating melon seeds and rolled her eyes at Xu Wenyan: "Why are you here? You still want to rely on us even though we have cut off all ties."

Xu Wenyan didn't get angry with her: "Mom, I'm here to transfer the household registration. Since I'm separated, the household registration must be changed, otherwise it will be very troublesome for me to set up a new household in the future."

"Oh, you still want to build a family? Fine, divide it up cleanly. Your father will go to the village chief tomorrow to wipe out the family." Zhang had a stern face, as if she was particularly resentful of him bringing Chen Sanlin to ask for the three taels of silver half a month ago: "You can leave now."

Xu Wenyan was about to sit down, but shook his head and stood up again.

"Mom, it's raining outside, and I'm already in poor health..." Xu Jinhua wanted to keep Xu Wenyan but was yelled at by Zhang.

"Why? We have to let him stay overnight."

"But......"

Xu Wenyan smiled and walked to the door: "No need, sister, we will be two families from now on, goodbye."

He hadn't walked two steps when he ran into Xu Fu and Xu Dashan, who were running back with their hoes on their shoulders. "Hey, little brother, why don't you go inside to take shelter from the heavy rain?"

"No need, big brother, I have to go back." Then he nodded to Xu Fu and Xu Wenyan walked quickly towards the village head. After all, he was the father of the original body, so he still had to give him some face.

It was at this time, at the Chen family.

Looking at the rain that just started falling outside.

Chen Sanlin picked up his raincoat and rushed into the rain.
