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

By noon.

The six people in the store were so tired that they lay down on the table, only Chen Sanlin was better off.

"Brother Xu, your bayberry juice is so potent. The feeling of counting money until my hands cramp is really great." Jia Anqing said to Xu Wenyan with his face turned sideways.

Xu Wenyan looked at him and started to smile. This young man reminded him of the first time he made money.

That was when I was in primary school in the village, probably in fifth or sixth grade. I would go to the river to catch small fish on Saturdays and Sundays when I had weekends off.

It's the kind of wheat ear fish or loach that people in the city like to eat very much. It tastes good whether it is fried or made into soup.

At that time, it took three or four hours to walk to the city. I had to get up before dawn and find a stall to sell my woven bamboo baskets.

By the time we got to the city, they were no longer fresh. Although the selling process was a bit difficult, we still managed to sell them for about fifty cents in the end.

It was a five-cent paper coin with a light blue and purple hue. The five-cent coin was already wrinkled beyond recognition, but I was really happy at that time.

The little kid in my uncle's family got two dollars of pocket money every week. I had never touched money before. This was the first time I felt the texture of a banknote.

To be honest, he envied the person he should call his younger brother. My uncle's family was very mean to me, but they were very good to their son.

They should be competent parents.

I used the fifty cents to buy the most popular soda at the time, a drink called Coke. I held it in my hand excitedly.

I sat on a small chair at the door of the store. The shop assistant said that the glass bottle had to be returned. She was very kind and even lent me a screwdriver.

But I was very stupid at that time and didn’t know how to open it. At this time, a brother came over and helped me open the glass bottle.

He also told me that it was the principle of leverage. As long as you study hard, you can understand a lot of knowledge, and if you understand a lot of knowledge, you can drink a lot of soda.

I looked at his clean clothes and nodded vigorously.

Coke is a magical thing, it dances in my mouth when it goes in!

Oh my God, I was wondering at that time, is there really such a magical thing in this world?

The older brother looked at my expression and laughed out loud. His smile was very bright, different from any other child in the village.

He then told me that it was full of carbon dioxide and I could drink it but not too much.

Is it because he studies hard that he knows so much?

Because I was in a hurry to get home, I gulped down the bottle of Coke, and then my stomach started burping.

I was a little scared, but the older brother touched my head and said it was okay, that everyone would burp after drinking Coke.

That was the first time I realized how important knowledge is, and studying hard is the only thing I have never regretted.

"Brother Xu? Brother Xu!" Jia Anqing waved his hand in front of Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan came back to his senses and tapped Jia Anqing on the forehead gently: "Stop shaking."

He shook his head vigorously to calm himself down.

Chen Sanlin also noticed that something was wrong with him at this time. He stood up and walked behind him, touching Xu Wenyan's forehead: "What's wrong? Are you too tired? Do you want to go upstairs to rest?"

"Yes, Brother Xu, you should go and have a rest." Jia Anqing also poured a cup of tea over.

Xu Wenyan stood up and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just a little confused. I'll leave the afternoon's work to you. Brother Chen and I have to go back."

After packing up his things, Chen Sanlin drove and looked at Xu Wenyan beside him: "Wife, are you really okay?"

"What can I do? I'm just a little tired."

Chen Sanlin nodded: "Okay, you must tell me what's going on."

"understood."

It was already afternoon when he returned home. Xu Wenyan dried the honeysuckle he picked in the morning and used all the winnowing baskets in the house to dry the honeysuckle.

Xiaoman and Luo Sanyuan are not at home. They are probably supervising work in the factory.

"Xiaoliu, you and your brothers and sisters take care of these honeysuckle." After giving the instructions, Xu Wenyan went into the house, took out two taels of silver, and took a bag of honeysuckle to Chen Xingjie's house.

"You want to buy land again. Land is expensive now. The wasteland is still two taels, and the price has not dropped." Chen Xingjie reminded.

In the past, wasteland could be bought for just over one or two taels of silver. After the war this year, the imperial court tightened its control over land, and prices have also risen a bit.

"It doesn't matter. I need it urgently." These two taels of silver can be earned back in one day. Xu Wenyan is not a frugal person, and he will not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.

After chatting with Wang Dongmei for a while, Chen Xingjie drew for him a piece of land under the pond.

Just as I was going out, I met the brothers Yang Yan and Yang Mu. The two brothers were talking to two young girls.

"Little brother, is the village chief's house nearby?" The woman spoke with an awkward accent and managed a long sentence with great difficulty.

Yang Yan nodded and pointed forward: "That's the village chief's house, hey, Uncle Xu!"

The two young men walked towards Xu Wenyan, and Xu Wenyan also lamented that he was only in his twenties, or twenty-five including his previous life, and was already an uncle.

When I think about it carefully, I feel uncomfortable because the baby in Wang Dongmei's belly is of the same generation as me.

"Uncle Xu, the two sisters want to see the village chief."

Xu Wenyan also saw the two women early on. The two women had dark skin, but healthy and delicate skin. They were also good-looking. They looked familiar. "You are from that time, right?"

The woman also recognized Xu Wenyan: "Well, my name is Yuyin, and this is my sister Yubai."

These two are Dai women. The one who is speaking is the saint who partnered with Xiaoman in the Divine Journey, and the other one is also with her.

Xu Wenyan also understood the purpose of the two women's visit.

"The village chief's house is in front of us. If you come to live in our village, you'd better change your surname, preferably Chen. Now many refugees have returned to their hometowns, and the management is not strict."

Yuyin bowed slightly to Xu Wenyan: "Thank you."

Xu Wenyan nodded and left with the two Yang brothers.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Mu, your family will grow peppers this year. Sell whatever you grow to me and I'll buy it."

The two children looked up in surprise: "Uncle Xu, is this too much trouble for you?" Everyone in the village knew that Xu Wenyan was doing business outside.

He is still running a factory in the village and he must have made a lot of money in the county.

Yang Yan felt that Xu Wenyan was deliberately helping the two brothers.

"What's the trouble? I'm just buying your stuff, not asking you to give it to me." It was already late autumn when the peppers were ripe.

Xu Wenyan plans to sell hot pot in the winter, as his ramen and potato noodle business requires a lot of chili peppers.

Today, most of my land is planted with peppers and leeks. After the autumn harvest, I will plant cabbage, all in preparation for hot pot.

Although Xu Wenyan said this, the two brothers were grateful to Xu Wenyan from the bottom of their hearts.

Xu Wenyan put his arms around the two brothers' shoulders and said, "Come on, follow Uncle Xu to work. Uncle Xu will treat you to a delicious meal tonight."

"Oh, uh-huh!"
