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

"Words are gentle, words are gentle."

Chen Sanlin frowned. Xu Wenyan's forehead had been sweating since a while ago and he looked extremely painful.

Picking up Xu Wenyan, Chen Sanlin stroked his face with his hands: "Wenyan, wake up."

"Brother Chen." Xu Wenyan slowly opened his eyes.

Chen Sanlin hugged him and said, "Did you have a nightmare? Why are you sweating so much?"

When mentioning this, Xu Wenyan began to recall what happened in his dream.

Why, why did that dream feel so real to him?

"Yeah, Brother Chen, I'm fine."

"Don't be afraid, my wife. I will always be with you."

Xu Wenyan hugged Chen Sanlin, her head drooping on him, her eyes a little lonely: "Really?"

"Of course, I never lie, Brother Chen will always be here."

"......it is good."

That night, Chen Sanlin held Xu Wenyan in his arms as he slept. His large hands gently patted Xu Wenyan's back, coaxing him to sleep like a child.

It seems that this is the only way to make Chen Sanlin feel at ease.

When the sun rose again, the sky gradually turned pale.

I got up a little late today, but it’s no big deal.

"woke up."

After Chen Sanlin woke up, he stayed by the bedside. Xu Wenyan's condition seemed a little strange these days.

He was really a little worried.

"Ha, what's that expression on your face?" Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin's sad face and couldn't help but smile softly.

"How are you? Are you feeling okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xu Wenyan sat up and said, "What can I do? Are Xiaodong and the others ready? I'll fry two pancakes and we'll go."

"Well, they're all up."

Today we are still riding in a bullock cart. The first time Xu Wenyan rode in a bullock cart from Jijixiang Village to the county was also the first time he rode in a bullock cart.

This reminded him of when he had just traveled through time.

Until now, Xu Wenyan still feels that it is not real.

When he got on the ox cart, Xu Wenyan was in a daze. Was he really dreaming?

But isn’t this dream a little too real? Can I get hurt in a dream?

But when he turned around and saw Chen Sanlin's worried expression, Xu Wenyan shook his head and let the matter go.

This can't be a dream.

If this was really a dream, how sad this fool would be.

Xu Wenyan turned sideways, lay down with his back against Chen Sanlin, closed his eyes and began to hum a little tune.

"A big river ~ with wide waves ~"

"The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides~"

"My home is on the shore. Blow the whistle on the east side of the river..."

......

"Uncle, what is this song about?" Chen Dong crawled forward and sat down next to Xu Wenyan.

"This is praise for the country, and also praise for the soldiers who protect the country."

This song means a lot to Xu Wenyan, ever since he first heard it on the school radio.

Xu Wenyan fell in love with it.

Both the melody and the lyrics are beautiful.

Humming a tune all the way, I finally arrived at the county.

"Brother!" Rongrong got out of the car and saw Rong Xiaoliu busy in the store.

After Rong Xiaoliu delivered the meal, he ran over happily.

Rongrong gave him a hug: "Brother, you don't come back to see me."

"Rongrong, be good." Rong Xiaoliu rubbed Rongrong's head: "Brother is working, Brother Xu paid me a lot of wages, brother will bring you a lot of delicious food for the New Year."

"Yes! I also want to bring some for Xiaodong and Xiaohua."

"Okay, both are available."

It was the first time for the three children to see such a big restaurant. They were very reserved when they arrived and stood beside Zheng Liwei, not daring to move.

Xu Wenyan let them do as they pleased and prepared to have hotpot today.

"Let's go buy groceries with uncle." Xu Wenyan held Chen Dong's left hand and Rongrong's right hand.

Originally, I wanted Chen Sanlin to hold Xiaohua's hand, but Xiaohua changed her position and held Rongrong's hand.

Chen Sanlin felt inexplicably embarrassed.

"Uncle, the county is so lively."

The three children's faces were full of surprise. Rongrong was better off, after all, she grew up in the county.

"Wow! There's a popcorn stall over there!"

Popcorn is made by frying rice, and it can also be fried with corn. It is not very expensive. Xu Wenyan bought some for each of the three children.

"Make way, make way." A group of soldiers rushed over from the front, and it seemed that they came in from the south gate.

This was the first time Xu Wenyan saw so many soldiers running on the streets in the county.

Is there something urgent going on?

Just looking at the scene, it must be a big deal.

Xu Wenyan didn't pay much attention to it. He bought some cabbages, white cabbages, radishes and the like on the street and went back to the restaurant.

Try the effect today. If it’s good, buy it in the village tomorrow. It will be much cheaper.

When I came back from buying groceries, the number of soldiers on the street increased instead of decreasing.

"Old Zheng, what happened in the county? There are so many soldiers."

Zheng Liwei looked around and whispered, "I just learned that Gao Bin is dead."

"Gao Bin?"

"It is said that he was a major general from the capital. No one knows why he came to Lin County. His body was not found until two days after he died."

Xu Wenyan nodded. He had heard about Gao Bin from Wei Ren. It couldn't be such a coincidence.

Could it be Wei Ren or Wang Zeren who did it?

But this shouldn’t be done. This is not like Wang Zeren’s style. It is too risky to do so.

But this has nothing to do with Xu Wenyan, so just focus on your own business.

After putting the ingredients into the kitchen, Xu Wenyan took out a new small wooden board. The previous promotional discount had not yet ended, so Xu Wenyan had to write another one.

"Our restaurant is launching a new hot pot, which can only be enjoyed in the private room. New product launch, 50% off today only."

After writing these words, Xu Wenyan still felt a little empty, so he drew a shabu-shabu pot and some vegetables in the blank space.

It doesn't matter even if the bill is free today. There are only six private rooms in total, and the hotpot meal will not be finished for at least half an hour.

Just after I finished writing, I happened to meet Mrs. Wen, Wei Nanchun and Cao Ling coming for tea.

"Shopkeeper Xu!" Mrs. Wen came forward and greeted him with a smile.

Xu Wenyan smiled happily when she saw her sponsor: "Oh, Mrs. Wen, Miss Wei...this is."

"She is Cao Ling, the youngest daughter of the Cao family."

Cao Ling took two steps forward. She was very impressed by this fair and handsome shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Xu, we have met before."

"I have a bad memory, please forgive me, Miss Wei."

"What delicious food did you write?" Mrs. Wen stepped forward and read the wooden board: "Hot pot...half price! Oh my God, doesn't that mean it's free?"

Wei Nanchun covered his mouth and smiled: "Sister-in-law, there is a difference between half price and free delivery."

"That's about right, Shopkeeper Xu, hurry up and serve us three servings of this hot pot."

"Haha, Mrs. Wen doesn't know, this hotpot is for everyone to eat together, and there is one pot for three of us." Xu Wenyan explained patiently.

Mrs. Wen rushed in anxiously. Since it was something Xu Wenyan was researching, it must be delicious.

She followed Xu Wenyan to eat for half a year, and all of them were delicious.

Including the small cake sent half a month ago, it was also a must-try.

This hotpot looks great just by looking at the picture, and Mrs. Wen is really looking forward to it.
