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

The New Year's Eve in Jixiang Village this year was particularly lively.

It's only early in the morning and every household has gotten up early. This year, the harvest in Jixiang Village is quite good.

Add to that tax exemption, and it can be said that everyone has money.

The children put on new clothes and were clamoring to watch the New Year pig being slaughtered. This year, only one family in the village slaughtered a pig, and Xu Wenyan's family did not raise one.

However, Xu Wenyan decided to kill a sheep to celebrate.

There was no butcher in the village, so Lao Zhao had to ask Chen Sanlin for help.

"Brother Chen, although there are many men in our family, no one knows how to slaughter a pig, so we have no choice but to ask you to come." Old Zhao put a bag of sugar cakes under it and handed it to Chen Sanlin.

Chen Sanlin just looked at Xu Wenyan, who smiled and nodded: "Take it, it's New Year's Day."

"Hey, this is the money for killing the pig, Brother Chen, don't refuse it." Old Zhao handed over another thirty cents, and Chen Sanlin really was not going to be polite.

"Uncle, I want to see it too." Chen Dong hugged Chen Sanlin's legs and said coquettishly.

Chen Sanlin picked up Chen Dong with one hand, nodded, and followed Lao Zhao.

"Uncle, let's go too." Rongrong pulled Chen Xiaohua and followed closely behind.

"Stay away and don't get your new clothes dirty."

"understood!"

Xu Wenyan still has to prepare today's ingredients. In the past Chinese New Year, he also worked by himself from morning to night.

Although I am alone, I still have to have a sense of ritual.

After Chen Sanlin arrived here, several elders from the Zhao family spoke to him enthusiastically, and then Chen Sanlin was ready to start.

The youngest son of Old Zhao opened the door of the pigpen for a few people.

"Hold it down and tie it up with a rope." Chen Sanlin took the lead. The pig was not very big, so Chen Sanlin walked behind it and held its neck while it was eating.

Chen Sanlin's hands were also very big. He sat on the pig's body and held its head with both hands. Other men in the Zhao family came forward to help.

The pig's four hooves were tied very smoothly.

"Pull it onto the stool." Chen Sanlin walked to the marble and carefully sharpened the knife.

After that, you can simply drain the blood from the neck and then shave the hair with boiling water.

"Don't turn off the fire, the water must be boiling, otherwise the skin won't be burned off.

Chen Sanlin talked about the details and the people from the Zhao family listened carefully.

"Oh my, this hunter Chen is really amazing. He can hold down such a big pig by himself."

"That's right, look at his arms, they are as thick as my thighs."

Chen Sanlin didn't feel anything when listening to the villagers' discussions. When the blood was almost drained out, he started to divide the meat.

From the location of the cut to his control of the joints, Chen Sanlin is top-notch.

The knife moved very smoothly on the pig's body and it was cut into pieces in no time.

When Lao Zhao saw Chen Sanlin was about to leave, he ran over with a large piece of pork ribs and said, "Brother Chen, take it."

Chen Sanlin looked at the ribs in his hand and said calmly: "I have taken the money, so there is no need for it now."

"That won't do. Brother Chen, you've been a great help today. When my wife gave birth, it was Xiaoman who drove the car to send me off.

This is our way of repaying your family, please accept it."

What Chen Sanlin taught today is far from being exchanged for these few spare ribs.

The Zhao family also knew this and were grateful to Chen Sanlin's family.

Chen Sanlin thought that this was Xiaoman’s business, so he accepted it.

When I came back, Xiaoman and Xu Wenyan had already tied up the sheep and were waiting to deal with them in the evening.

Xu Wenyan saw Chen Sanlin coming back with the three little guys and patted his clothes: "Xiaoman, change your clothes, we are ready to go to the county."

Xiaoman smiled gently: "I won't go."

"No, it's New Year's Day, let's go and see it together." Xu Wenyan took Xiaoman and walked home.

After changing clothes, Chen Sanlin drove the horse-drawn carriage, while Xiaoman, Xiaohu and Yuyin were on the deer cart.

The museum is only open half a day today.

As soon as the carriage entered the county town, Xu Wenyan was shocked by the lively scene.

There are red lanterns, red Spring Festival couplets, peace festival and firecracker paper in front of every shop.

The county was bustling with sounds, filled with the blessings and cries of vendors and the laughter of children.

This is the real flavor of the New Year.

This is also a feeling that Xu Wenyan has never experienced before.

"Uncle, there's a candied haws stall over there!"

"Uncle, look over there, there's a lion dance!"

The three little ones were chattering non-stop around Xu Wenyan.

Along with the joyful sounds of his feet, Xu Wenyan was gradually infected by the joyful and festive atmosphere.

Xu Wenyan got out of the car holding the three children: "Brother Chen, thank you for parking the car. We are here to watch the lion dance!"

Xiaohu and Yuyin, who were over there, followed Xu Wenyan out of the car.

"Brother Xu, it's so lively!"

Xiaohu followed and protected the three younger ones in the middle.

Thirty is a lively time, but it also comes with dangers.

It would be bad if the children got separated at this time.

The sound of gongs and drums rose up, and the crackling sounds echoed in the streets.

The colorful lions were danced to lifelike perfection.

People don't feel it's noisy at all, but rather feel it's not lively enough.

Walking along the street from the city center, Xu Wenyan bought a candied haws for everyone. There were so many sugar paintings and sugar figures on the street that it was hard to keep up with them all.

Only now did Xu Wenyan understand what it meant to truly buy New Year’s goods.

There was not much money when I first came here, and there was war in the second year. It was not until this year that it was a festive year with a good harvest.

By the time we walked into the pub, everyone's hands were stuffed full.

To use Xu Wenyan's words.

I have plenty of money, so I’ll buy what I want and spend it as I please.

"Brother! Happy New Year." Jia Anqing came over with a smile and took Xu Wenyan's arm, then stretched out his hand: "Red envelope, red envelope."

Xu Wenyan smiled helplessly and took out a stack of red envelopes from his bag: "There are red envelopes, but you have to tell me that you are happy before you give them to me."

"Brother, you are so brave, handsome, and heroic. You are simply the most perfect man in my heart! I hope you will make a fortune and have great luck in the future.

Stay healthy and your life will get better and better."

Xu Wenyan grinned and said, "Okay, you deserve a reward!"

"Brother, everything goes well." Kong Zhao said with a smile.

Xu Wenyan patted his hand with the red envelope and said, "You are really good, you called me brother so quickly."

After saying this, the couple blushed.

Afterwards, he gave red envelopes to Zhou Rong, Xiao Sun, the two brothers of the Yang family, and the four children in the family.

Xu Wenyan packed a hundred coins, which means perfection.

I really enjoyed the praise from Xu Wenyan today.

"By the way, brother. I have a letter for you."
