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

When Xu Wenyan came back, he saw two adults and three children standing barefoot in the yard counting clams.

Every pair of feet was covered in mud.

"Damn, where have you naughty kids been?" Xu Wenyan put the pastries in his hand on the small table in the yard and walked over.

"Uncle, look, we and the uncles have touched a lot of clams." Rongrong ran over, holding Xu Wenyan's hand and said with a smile.

Xu Wenyan pinched her smiling face and said, "All five of you come with me."

Walking to the water tank, Xu Wenyan used a gourd-made scoop to wash the feet of these people one by one: "Wipe them all clean for me, don't get your shoes wet."

Jia Anqing and the three kids said in unison: "Yeah!"

Kong Zhao nodded.

"Once you've washed it, stop playing and go to the table to eat some cakes." Xu Wenyan shook her head helplessly. She felt like she was becoming more and more like an old woman.

Then we have to deal with these clams. Fortunately, Chen Sanlin has help. Xu Wenyan doesn’t want to make it too troublesome, so he makes a seafood hotpot.

In fact, it is similar to Malatang, which is to put various ingredients into the pot and cook them.

Rongrong was teaching them how to make wreaths in the yard, and Xu Wenyan could hear laughter coming from the yard from time to time.

Maybe this is what they call a peaceful life.

"dinner time!"

They stayed at Xu Wenyan's house for another day. The next day, Jia Anqing and his friend were woken up by Xu Wenyan pinching their noses.

He watched the store for Jia Anqing for a whole day yesterday, and he couldn't let this kid continue to play today.

When leaving, Xu Wenyan gave Jia Anqing two bars of soap with rose scent.

When Jia Anqing was helping them wash their hands yesterday, he asked Xu Wenyan for it.

There are so many at home, so it’s no big deal to give a few pieces.

That morning, Chen Xingjie brought a lot of persimmons.

Xu Wenyan also remembered that the persimmons in the mountains had not been picked yet this year, and there were still some wild kiwis and pears, which were all specialties of the mountains.

I was so busy these days that Xu Wenyan almost forgot about it.

Last month, several people caught a lot of crabs, but they won’t go to catch crabs today because everyone else is busy. Today, only Chen Sanlin and Xu Wenyan will go to pick crabs.

"Brother Chen, pack some cloth bags. There are several kiwi vines over there."

"it is good."

Carrying a machete and going up the mountain, Chen Sanlin still walked in front.

He looked back at Xu Wenyan from time to time.

"What's wrong?" Xu Wenyan smiled.

"daughter in law."

"You said."

Chen Sanlin cut off the vines on the roadside: "Do you think Brother Chen is useless?"

"How could that be?" Xu Wenyan quickly came to Chen Sanlin's side and said, "Brother Chen, don't let your imagination run wild. Why would I think you are useless?"

Seeing that Chen Sanlin didn't say anything, Xu Wenyan slapped him on the butt: "We, aren't we very useful when we do that?" After saying that, Xu Wenyan hugged his waist: "It's okay, if it doesn't work, let me do it, Brother Chen, just lie down obediently."

"No!" Chen Sanlin pulled Xu Wenyan in front of him and said, "I can't do that... I just think that you have made so much money, and you still have to suffer with me."

Seeing Chen Sanlin's self-blaming eyes, Xu Wenyan smoothed his hair and said, "How much money do I make? It should be enough for those little ones to grow up.

Also, I went to the northwest later, and life there was not easy. The money we had was not even money.

And why is it that I am suffering now? My life is very fulfilling. "

Chen Sanlin gently kissed Xu Wenyan on the forehead: "Thank you, daughter-in-law."

"You're being polite to me...what?"

That was a close call, I almost said it out loud, Xu Wenyan muttered to himself.

"Alright, alright, let's go quickly. Xiaoman wants to come with us too. Having more people will help take care of her along the way."

Chen Sanlin nodded. The northwest is an extremely dangerous place.

Not to mention that the Hu people over there are ferocious, even the climate over there is extremely dangerous.

These are what Xu Wenyan heard from Jia Anqing and others.

As a modern person, Xu Wenyan knows better how terrible the Northwest is.

Today's Northwest region is roughly Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and a little bit of Mongolia.

As for which route to take, Xu Wenyan needs to think about it carefully.

There are still many variables, however.

Maybe this world doesn't have the same climate as that of the Western Regions.

It's all uncertain.

Xu Wenyan could only take one step at a time.

In his previous life, Xu Wenyan regretted not having the chance to travel well, and he had to work on weekends when he was in middle school.

After graduating from high school, I took a weekend tutoring class for junior high school students.

Although he has a bad temper, he is a good student.

I worked part-time to support myself during college, and when I was doing internship I passed the exam and got a job in the city library.

It was a stable job and a very popular one. My classmates at university were extremely envious of me.

But only Xu Wenyan knew that he had too many regrets in his life.

"Wife, look."

Xu Wenyan was lost in thought when he was brought back to his senses by Chen Sanlin's voice.

"Ok?"

“The pear tree from before is full of fruit this year.”

Following the direction of Chen Sanlin's finger, Xu Wenyan saw those golden pears and was very excited: "We are here today, but we can't pick them all."

Xu Wenyan pulled Chen Sanlin and ran towards the pear tree.

Pear pulp can be added to drinks and can also be made into autumn pear paste.

It can also be used to make rock sugar pear juice, which is also a unique dish.

There are actually pears for sale in the market, and the price is reasonable.

But something free always tastes better.

The two of them immediately got busy.

It’s good enough that we can transport these pears back today.

Afterwards, Xiaoman, Xiaohu and Zhou Jianye were called over, and it took the group three days to pick all the persimmons and kiwis.

Everyone is familiar with the process of making persimmon cakes; even Rongrong and Chen Xiaohua can do it.

Xu Wenyan focused on the development of kiwi drinks. At that time, there were no large and well-developed fruits, only small kiwis from the mountains.

This thing is very precious, and Xu Wenyan's selling price for it is also high.

This is the only income you get in a year, and this is also the drawback of Xu Wenyan’s store.

Many delicacies are only available in season.

Except for fried chicken.

During these three days, the sugarcane that Xu Wenyan asked Li Dezhu to bring back was also planted by the hired villagers.

A total of more than fifty acres.

It took Li Dezhu four days to transport it back.

Everything will wait until next spring.

Not only sugarcane can ripen, but improved watermelons can also ripen. That's when Xu Wenyan will make a lot of money.

The hot pot business in the store has been very good in recent months.

Xu Wenyan has to be busy with fresh ingredients in the store every day.

With the addition of persimmon cakes and sugar-roasted chestnuts, he has been able to earn a stable income of more than four hundred taels of silver every month in the past few months.

This is the net income, plus the investment in Qing'an Hall.

Xu Wenyan could earn more than 500 taels of silver a month. Before the New Year, he did the last business of the year with Manager Liu and earned another 500 taels.

By New Year's Eve, Xu Wenyan had more than 2,500 taels in his hand.

Today Xu Wenyan is going out with his whole family.

One is to wait for Wang Cuijuan and Rong Xiaoliu to get off work, and the other is to take the family to buy New Year's goods.
