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

The little tiger in the yard just felt a little embarrassed.

I had to hold the children in my arms to comfort them.

Outside the yard, the gate was slammed repeatedly by Zhang, and the shouting and cursing were even more deafening. All kinds of unpleasant words came out of the woman's mouth.

Feeling Chen Sanlin's body temperature, it was the first time that Xu Wenyan felt favored by someone like this. This feeling was really good and warm.

After calming down, Xu Wenyan bandaged the wound on the back of Rong Xiaoliu's hand.

Rong Xiaoliu sniffed his nose and felt guilty as he looked at Xu Wenyan who was squatting down to treat his wounds: "Brother Xu, aren't you angry with me?"

Carefully tie a knot on the cloth strip. Xu Wenyan looked up at Rong Xiaoliu and smiled: "Why are you angry? It was Zhang who caused trouble. She beat you and I am still angry with you. I am not a fool."

After standing up, he rubbed Rong Xiaoliu's head again, and then rubbed his body with some disgust. It was time for these two children to take a bath.

Oily.

As for when the shouting and slapping sounds outside ended, Xu Wenyan had no idea. He carefully scraped the rabbit skin that Chen Sanlin had peeled off, removing the remaining grease, and the remaining could be used to make a hat.

The lassoes installed yesterday were very effective. Twelve were installed and six were caught, and one was caught by Chen Sanlin.

I had intended to save one of the three pieces of cloth I bought in the city, but now it can only be used to make hats and clothes. Xiaoliu and Rongrong are still wearing thin clothes, and the temperature now has reached several degrees below zero.

Xu Wenyan just hoped that the temperature wouldn't exceed ten degrees.

Just when we finished our meal, the snow started falling again. This time it was still a moderate snow, no less than the last time.

Seeing the snow, Xu Wenyan became worried again.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Chen Sanlin moved a small stool and sat next to Xu Wenyan.

This scene made Xu Wenyan couldn't help but recall the time when he was a child at his uncle's house.

When he was at his uncle's house, he was only fit to live in the storage room. It was okay in the summer, with just a few mosquitoes to keep him company, but when winter came, the damn wooden window that could never be closed would creak.

It was cold and noisy at the same time.

It brought the cold wind into the utility room. Xu Wenyan wrapped himself in a small blanket and dared not move at all. When he couldn't stand it any more, he slept in the living room, but it was not much better than the utility room.

Xu Wenyan came to his senses and stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, but it melted in his palm before it could even take shape. The chill seeped into his palm and he couldn't help shivering.

"Nothing, go back to the house."

......

Xu Fujia.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xu Dashan was just about to wipe his father's face and get ready to go to sleep, but he didn't expect his mother to come back from outside trembling again.

Xu Dashan put down his towel and came to support Zhang.

Zhang looked at her eldest son's worried expression and closed her eyes slightly. Although her eldest son was a little stupid, he was the only one who still cared about her even after her family fell into poverty.

Xu Dashan let his son take him into the house and gave Zhang a hot towel to warm her up.

Looking at her lying husband and her eldest son whose eyes were swollen from crying all day, Zhang felt heavy in her heart. But she felt even more upset when she thought that the family still owed more than 10,000 taels of silver.

She raised her head and looked at the snowflakes still falling outside, wondering why God was so unfair.

The incident that Zhang caused in Chen's family also spread to Xujia Village. Now these two families are unwelcome in both villages.

A family is rude and disrespectful, and their credit is a huge problem. They always delay borrowing money.

There was also a family that practiced the custom of having a man marry his wife. The villagers were already somewhat disgusted with this kind of thing, and now with the accusation of being unfilial, there were really few people in the village who could have a say in the Chen family.

The next morning, Wang Cuijuan came to Chen's house with some things.

"Aunt, please come in and sit down." Xu Wenyan saw the visitor invite Wang Cuijuan in. It was a snowy day and that kind of thing had just happened. Xu Wenyan was very grateful that his second aunt and her family did not avoid suspicion.

Wang Cuijuan coughed twice and smiled, put down the backpack on her back, and took out a few socks: "Daughter-in-law Sanlin, what do you think?"

Although the colors of the lining socks are single, you can see some fine patterns on them that are sewn with threads of different colors. It is obvious that Wang Cuijuan put a lot of thought into it.

Xu Wenyan took it in her hand and squeezed it. It was very soft and much warmer than modern socks. "Aunt, you have such a skillful hand. This must have taken a lot of effort."

Seeing Chen Jiaduo's two children, Wang Cuijuan didn't ask anything and answered quietly, "It's not a big deal. I have nothing to do at home, so I just showed off some styles."

Xu Wenyan touched the socks in his hand again and suddenly thought of something. He walked into the inner room and took out half a piece of cloth and nine rabbit skins: "Aunt, can you make a hat? I have drawn the style, but I am not very good at making it." Then he handed a wooden board to Wang Cuijuan.

There is a hat painted with charcoal on the wooden board. The hat has a strange shape and even covers the ears on both sides. Xu Wenyan's painting is also vivid. Wang Cuijuan has an idea just by looking at the appearance.

"It shouldn't be difficult. Let my aunt go back and study it." Wang Cuijuan put the things in Xu Wenyan's hand into the basket and was about to go home.

"Hey, aunt, wait a minute." Xu Wenyan took a dustpan from the side, which was full of charcoal.

There is no money at home now, so I can only use this to pay for my labor costs.

"Sanlin's wife, what are you doing?" Wang Cuijuan was a little scared when she saw the full basket of coal. This was the charcoal used by rich people. Only the village chief's family used it in the village, and every time they mixed a little bit of coal into the charcoal basin and burned it.

Just a little bit of coal will make the house much warmer.

Ordinary people bury their own charcoal, but that kind of charcoal is not as durable as this one, and the temperature is not as high as this one.

"Aunt, you should call me Xu Wenyan..." He always felt uncomfortable listening to this Sanlin daughter-in-law: "I can't let my aunt make things for me for nothing. I will feel embarrassed to ask my aunt for help in the future."

Although this thing was a bit expensive, if she didn't take it, the two families would really become estranged. After following Xu Wenyan's method and applying a layer of white paste on the house, the house was indeed not as damp, and even the winter was not as cold as in previous years.

Wang Cuijuan then felt that she couldn't be ungrateful after receiving help: "Okay, aunt, I'll send it to you after I've done my research."

Xu Wenyan nodded and asked Chen Sanlin to help his aunt take the coal back.

There is still a lot of firewood at home, and the snow in the yard is swept by Rong Xiaoliu and other children, which makes it very worry-free. Although the living conditions are a bit difficult, Xu Wenyan still feels comfortable here.

"Shh-"

A ball of snow slid down from the roof, fortunately it didn't hit anyone. Looking at the thick layer of snow on the roof, I have to ask Chen Sanlin to come back and clear it up later.

There are tools at home, most of which are made by Chen Sanlin himself, such as ladders, bed boards, tables, etc.

Although the appearance is not very good-looking, it is sturdy.

Xu Wenyan hung all the rabbits in the house by the fireplace to dry in the sun and make them into dried rabbits. It would be better to stock up some food.

Xu Wenyan knew very well what it felt like to be hungry; it was not a pleasant experience.
