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

After Chen Xingjie came over, Xu Wenyan drove a horse-drawn carriage to buy enough potatoes for the whole village to grow.

It was a little more than expected, almost four taels, but when you think about it, it will supply 30% of the potatoes for the whole village, it's all worth it.

Now, apart from the wages paid to Xiaoman and the others, Xu Wenyan still had a total of 900 coins left.

After buying things, because Xu Wenyan bought a lot at one time, he took some back, and the store will transport the rest to the village tomorrow.

"Brother Xingjie, how is the matter with the booklet?"

Chen Xingjie nodded: "The county magistrate approved it. Although we asked for a lot, he said that literacy is a good thing. It is rare for me to be the village chief."

After he finished speaking, Chen Jie's expression dimmed a little: "But brother Xu, this is because you can read. What should I do in the future? I only learned a few words from my father."

"Isn't this easy? There are plenty of educated people in our village." Zeng Guoqin was a juren in the past, and Zheng Liwei can do arithmetic and also knows a lot of writing. It is not impossible to hire them as teachers in the future.

Xu Wenyan knows all these, but he doesn't have the patience to face a group of naughty kids, for fear that he will not be able to help but beat up the kids.

Chen Xingjie nodded slightly. As expected, Xu Wenyan was smart and calm.

After returning to the village, each family was busy with their own affairs. Today Xu Wenyan planned to go to the pond.

I had just finished lunch and took the three men in my family to go in a carriage.

Today we were walking on a road that we had cleared a small part of yesterday. The ride in the carriage was a little bumpy, but still within bearable range.

"Xiaoman, Huzi, you guys wait for us here and we can clean up the mess while we're at it." Xu Wenyan estimated that this road would lead to the next hill at most.

After that, if you want to transport things, you have to carry them from the pond up the mountain for more than half an hour, transport them to the main road, and then use the car to transport them home.

This is the most labor-saving method I can think of right now.

Chen Sanlin walked in front, looking back at Xu Wenyan from time to time. He would cut even the smallest thorns with the machete in his hand.

"Be careful, the leaves are slippery." Chen Sanlin swept away the dead leaves on the hillside with his cloth shoes and reached out to pull the person behind him.

He is always like this when he is with Chen Sanlin. Even though he is still a mentally retarded child, he always tries every means to protect Xu Wenyan.

Looking at the hand extended by the other party, Xu Wenyan smiled faintly and shook it tightly.

Maybe I have also fantasized about following and taking care of the girl I love for the rest of my life, but it seems that being loved is a very happy thing. After all, I have never been loved.

It turns out that boys can be loved too.

"Brother Chen, stop looking at me. There are branches all over your head, and they scratched your face."

Chen Sanlin continued to wave the knife in his hand: "Do you care about me?"

"I don't want to look at a bruised face when I go to bed every day." Even though Chen Sanlin already had several scars on his face.

Chen Sanlin touched the scar above his eyebrow and felt a little depressed. His face was already disfigured, but his wife still stayed with him. No, he must be better to his wife.

Chen Sanlin was brainstorming in his mind, wondering if he should take good care of his face.

"Wife, I will take a shower every day from now on and wash myself clean. Please don't look down on me."

The man in front swung the machete violently, and the branches easily fell under his knife, but he said aggrievedly, "Don't want him." To be honest, Xu Wenyan really liked this contrast.

I still remember the first time I had feelings for Chen Sanlin. It was the day when Chen Sanlin chased me out and cried on the roadside. I don’t know why, but I always felt a sense of satisfaction watching him cry.

Sure enough, Xu Wenyan is a pervert!

"Ahem, what if I really don't want you anymore?"

"Ah?" Chen Sanlin paused, then suddenly turned around and hugged Xu Wenyan, burying his head in his waist: "I...I can't help it, wife, can you please not abandon me?"

Xu Wenyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and rubbed his head: "Oh, who was it yesterday who swore solemnly that he would never do it again? Are you scared?"

Chen Sanlin didn't say anything, but just looked at Xu Wenyan aggrievedly, and reached out to touch the man's face. He had deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and his whole face was angular. If you had to use a clear word to describe him.

Xu Wenyan would say tough, and it has to be said that Chen Sanlin's face is really good-looking. The slight scars on his face make him look quite charming.

Holding his head, Xu Wenyan placed a kiss on his forehead: "I'm just teasing you, let's go, Huzi and the others are still waiting for us."

If we go around this way, we won’t have to pass by the waterfall and can go directly down the mountain where Xu Wenyan and his friends spent the night in the cave.

From the mountain, you can already see the orchard in the distance. The flowers of the fruit trees have almost all fallen, and I don’t know if they will bear fruit this year.

Today we mainly came to transport charcoal, so we didn't take much with us when we left. We also had bamboo tubes, which are also consumables. Many customers like to take the bamboo tubes back directly, and we can earn two cents for each bamboo tube.

"How did you get down from that mountain? It was so difficult to walk down." Zhou Jianye and the other two were chatting in the yard at this time. There were some wild vegetables such as wild onions and red melon seedlings on the ground.

"Second uncle, let's get some charcoal." Xu Wenyan told the three of them about their business in the county, as well as the current issue of land distribution.

Xu Wenyan looked at Zhou Rong again: "By the way, cousin, do you want to set up a household registration independently or live with your second uncle? Now Chen Xingjie is the village chief and can help you change your household registration."

Zhou Rong paused while peeling onions: "I am a woman. Can women also have independent household registration?"

"It shouldn't be a problem to set up a female household, but there will be one more expense. Just like me and Sanlin, we each have our own household registration, so we have to pay two taxes."

After spending some time together, Zhou Rong became closer to Zhou Jianye's family. As they were originally related by blood, Zhou Rong finally chose to have the same household registration as Zhou Jianye.

Without further ado, Xu Wenyan asked Zhou Jianye and the others to help load the charcoal, while he and Chen Sanlin went to the bamboo forest behind.

The bamboo in the village is limited, but here it is not. Moreover, Zhou Jianye and his team have also broken off a lot of bamboo shoots and dried them during this period.

We have all experienced hunger, so naturally we all have the good habit of storing food.

The bamboo tube needs a saw. One piece of bamboo can be made into two bowls, which can fill two backpacks. Xu Wenyan then went back, and the whole family helped him transport the charcoal.

It was actually faster when going up the mountain.

Xu Wenyan saw that the pumpkins in the field had grown small pumpkins, and he would be able to make new pumpkin-style dishes in the fall.

The three saw that Xiaohong's eyes were full of excitement. Farmers liked these large livestock the most, such as cows, horses, mules and the like.

It is said that in ancient times, when men got horses, they would abandon their wives and would rather sleep with their horses in their arms.

After reminiscing for a while, everyone dispersed. They had to stew the newly acquired wild boar bones tonight.
