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

Because I was busy late yesterday.

Xu Wenyan went back home and fell asleep immediately. He was woken up this morning while still half asleep.

Looking at Chen Sanlin next to him, Xu Wenyan felt something was wrong: "Brother Chen, why are you so dark?"

He was only busy for two days. How could Chen Sanlin and Xiaohu and the others get so tanned?

Chen Sanlin touched his face: "Is there?"

"Of course you saw it. It's turned into charcoal." Xu Wenyan naturally knew the reason. Chen Sanlin usually would not take a break while working.

He must have taken them to work in the hot sun at noon. Afterwards, Xu Wenyan looked at the children at home and found that they were all tanned by one or two degrees.

Xu Wenyan looked at the family of black eggs and laughed out loud.

It turns out that I still have to worry about this family by myself.

"Brother Chen, you take the children over first. I'll go find Xiaoman." Xiaoman's injury would probably take two more days to heal. He went upstairs and carried Xiaoman down. Then the two of them would go in a mule cart.

When Xiaoman was washing up, Xu Wenyan leaned over to the side and said, "Xiaoman, are you and Luo Sanyuan together?"

Hearing Xu Wenyan's straightforward words, Xiaoman instantly panicked: "No, not yet."

Xu Wenyan sighed heavily. Looking at the two of them like this, even if they weren't together yet, they would be soon.

I don’t know why, but I always feel like the cabbages I worked so hard to grow were eaten by pigs.

Without further ado, he carried Xiaoman onto the mule cart and moved some tables and chairs over.

This is how banquets are held in the countryside. Each household brings their own tables, chairs and benches, and the main focus is on simplicity.

By the time we arrived, quite a few people had already arrived, most of them were women with children.

Xu Wenyan stopped the mule cart and asked Chen Sanlin to unload the goods.

"Oh my, look at Chen Sanlin. Why does he listen to Xu Wenyan so much? He's like a kitten in front of him."

"It's not that bad. My husband is too lazy to roast the snake and eat it. One more step will cost him his life."

Huang sat down between the two women and said, "What do you know? Xu Wenyan is much better than her husband. She is handsome, smart and can even read."

"You can read? Who told you that?"

"My home is close to the Zheng family. I hear Zeng Hong and Yuan Yuan from her family talking about something like "one by one" every day. When I asked them, they all said that it was Xu Wenyan who taught them." Huang said proudly.

"Oh, that's incredible."

As the chef today, Xu Wenyan has to be busy, but before that he has to serve the sugar cakes. He made them at home last night. The glutinous rice skin is soft and sticky, and Xu Wenyan doesn't like the taste of brown sugar very much, but they are for children.

As long as they like it, there is a small flower stamp on the cake. Xu Wenyan asked Chen Sanlin to make it a long time ago.

Xu Wenyan picked up the plate, and the children came running over without him even yelling.

"Uncle Xu."

"Uncle Xu."

Soon Xu Wenyan was surrounded by the only thirty or so children in the village: "What's the point of just calling me? Say something nice."

"Uncle Xu, you are the best. You are the best person in the village!" Zheng Yuan said with a smile.

"Yuan! I'm listening. I feel hurt when you say that about your father." Zheng Liwei also said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhong grabbed Zheng Liwei's ear and said, "Why are you comparing yourself with Xiao Xu? He is just better than you."

"Hey, hey, hey, I know you just want to restore your image in my daughter's heart."

Seeing their festive look, everyone laughed.

"Uncle Xu is the best looking!"

"Uncle Xu is the whitest!"

......

Amid the children's flattery, Xu Wenyan distributed the sugar cakes one by one.

When Xu Wenyan saw Rong Xiaoliu, the two Yang brothers and Zeng Hong standing in the distance, he waved to them.

"What, do you look down on my sugar cake?"

Yang Yan hurriedly explained: "No, Uncle Xu, we are old and we should not compete with our brothers and sisters."

"That's right, sugar is expensive, just give it to your younger brothers and sisters." Yang Mu added.

Xu Wenyan looked at Zeng Hong again and rubbed his little head: "They are older, and you are acting like an adult."

Zeng Hong was a little embarrassed after being exposed, and his face turned red: "I, I am also a brother, let them eat first."

"Hey, you guys look down on me." Xu Wenyan put a candy cake in each of their hands and said, "You little brats are still pretending to be adults in front of me. Eat them quickly. If you can't finish them, I'll spank you."

Zeng Hong took the brown sugar cake and took a careful bite. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste made him linger. He had also eaten desserts when his family was better before.

But he dared to say that this was one of the best desserts he had ever tasted.

Xu Wenyan first asked a few women to cook dumplings. They had to be fished out when they were cooked, as they would not clump together if they were soaked for a while longer.

After that, they followed Xu Wenyan's instructions, and the simple tasks of stir-frying shredded potatoes and mixing cold dishes were handed over to the aunts who always helped. These were also the most common dishes at the banquet.

As for the wild boar meat, Xu Wenyan asked them to slice it and stir-fry it with vegetables.

Xu Wenyan had said in advance that more of this seasoning should be added, but as soon as he saw Huang, he poured it twice, and it was estimated that there was not even a small spoonful.

Xu Wenyan couldn't say anything to them. They did the same thing at home. Sometimes they even didn't add salt. Salt was a precious thing to them.

It’s not a big problem. Xu Wenyan added later that the most difficult dish here is the potato balls.

Just chop the fresh pork into small pieces and steam the potatoes and then mash them.

Chop some more green onions, unfortunately there are no onions here, otherwise the taste would be better, and then fry them in oil.

When Xu Wenyan was frying the meatballs, the aunties were really distressed, even though the oil was not from their own home.

But they have lived for most of their lives and have never seen oil used in this way.

In response to this, Xu Wenyan said, we are just rich.

After frying the meatballs, she continued to fry the French fries. Zhou Rong watched it twice and Xu Wenyan gave the job to her.

Xu Wenyan personally prepared the fried bacon and fish soup. Although there were so many tables, there was still not enough meat since there were so many people.

It is almost always two chopsticks per person, and each person can only have two dumplings at most.

The aroma of oil and salt alone would make those men who were sitting and chatting so hungry that they would be stunned.

As the last dish was completed, Xu Wenyan added salt and Chen Xingjie officially announced it.

The banquet begins!

Chen Xingjie invited everyone who had a good relationship with him, and the banquet was set up directly on the road outside the door.

Chen Xingjie stood at the front: "Today is our Zhao'er's birthday party. I'm very happy that everyone can come to participate. Of course, the one I want to thank most is Zhao'er's cousin..."

In Xu Wenyan's eyes, this was the first time that Chen Xingjie spoke so much, and his tone was choked with sobs as he spoke.

That was the joy of being a father for the first time, and Xu Wenyan would never be able to experience it in his lifetime.

The weather is still cool today.

A cool breeze blows from time to time, making it very comfortable.

Listening to the laughter all around, Xu Wenyan's mouth couldn't help but grin.

When he turned his head, he saw Chen Sanlin also looking at him. The two looked at each other and Xu Wenyan smiled gently.

The man next to him was stunned for a second, then grabbed Xu Wenyan's hand from under the table.

The summer breeze was blowing that year, and the two of them were still living a peaceful life.
