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

When Xu Wenyan arrived at the village chief's house, his family was warming themselves around a charcoal brazier.

"Hello, village chief." Because the yard was not closed, Xu Wenyan went in by himself.

Wang Dongmei saw that it was him and smiled: "What's wrong? You're still out shopping in such a cold day."

He handed the basket to Wang Dongmei and said, "Chen Sanlin just killed a deer, so I wanted to send it to the village chief to taste. Here are some pears that I picked in the forest. They are so sweet."

"Wow, this leg looks really nice." Wang Dongmei is also a person who doesn't hesitate to take things when they are given to her: "Hey, what is this?"

Seeing Wang Dongmei holding the persimmon cake and smelling it, Xu Wenyan explained: "Dongmei, you don't know this, right? This is my homemade persimmon cake. Try it. It's soft, glutinous, sweet and absolutely delicious."

"Okay." Wang Dongmei gave half of it to Chen Xingjie and ate it with relish: "It's really good, even sweeter than the cakes sold in the county." Then she handed another piece to the village chief and his wife.

Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Xu Wenyan told them the main purpose of their visit: "Also, I want to thank Dongmei for helping my children out a few days ago."

Wang Dongmei just waved her hand: "How can this be considered as helping? I am just handling village affairs. It is my job, and it is my responsibility."

Xu Wenyan has a good impression of this generous and enthusiastic girl. It seems it would be nice to find a wife like her.

"Xu Wenyan, I know about some of the things that have been going on in the village these days." The old village chief said with his hands in his pockets: "As the village chief, I can't change the villagers' thoughts, but if they do something too extreme, I can still do things according to the village rules, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Oh, brother Wen Yan, from now on, your sister Dongmei will protect you. If anyone bullies you, let Chen Xingjie beat him up."

Chen Xingjie, who was listening to their conversation quietly, asked: "Ah?"

"Nonsense." After the old village chief scolded Xu Wenyan in a low voice, he also left.

Fortunately, the village chief is fair.

It was dark when Xu Wenyan walked back home. The family, one big and four small, were waiting for him at the door. Xu Wenyan felt warm in his heart as he looked at them: "What are you doing outside in such a cold weather? Come in quickly."

Holding Chen Dong's left hand and Rongrong's right hand, Xu Wenyan led the group home. Xu Wenyan still needed to give some advice to Rongrong, as she was too silent.

"Rongrong, what do you want to eat tonight?"

When asked by Xu Wenyan, Rongrong just raised his head slightly and looked at Rong Xiaoliu on the side.

"Just tell me if Brother Xu asks you." Rong Xiaoliu encouraged his sister. It was not good to keep silent all the time.

You will be bullied after you get married.

"The pancakes in the morning were delicious." The pancakes made from a mixture of shredded potatoes and shredded radishes with flour really left Rongrong with an unforgettable aftertaste. He only ate two in the morning, and after he finished eating, he kept thinking about the taste.

"Okay." Xu Wenyan went to the kitchen and gave Chen Sanlin four coins: "Go to my second uncle's house and buy six eggs."

This pancake made of shredded potatoes tastes better only when eggs are added. If only flour is added, it will be crispier when fried. Adding eggs will not only make it more fragrant but also much softer.

When Xu Wenyan was cooking, the little ones stood at the door and watched, wanting to know how such delicious pancakes were made.

Seeing so many people crowded together, Xu Wenyan secretly vowed to build a big house, as the current one was really too crowded.

After the meal, it was time for Xu Wenyan to be a hands-off boss.

It’s so nice not having to wash dishes.

Coming to the fireplace and looking at the peeled roe deer skin, Xu Wenyan wondered what could be done with the skin. After much thought, he realized that it could only be made into an outer coat to be worn in spring, and it would have to be made with cotton cloth.

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Chen Sanlin calling him from behind: "Xu Wenyan, wash your feet."

Seeing that this man actually brought her foot washing water today, Xu Wenyan was also happy, just like the eldest son in the family who had grown up.

"You really understand me. My feet are so frozen from walking all the way today." She took off her inner socks, revealing her beautiful white feet with distinct joints and even more obvious Achilles tendons.

Chen Sanlin was so fascinated by what he saw.

"Brother Chen, let's go together." Xu Wenyan sat on the bed and felt the warmth brought by the hot water.

Chen Sanlin swallowed his saliva and finally shook his head: "Just soak it."

"Hey, hurry up, hurry up, it's very comfortable."

Unable to persuade him, Chen Sanlin took off his inner socks and carefully put his feet into the basin. He didn't dare to touch Xu Wenyan's feet. His feet were so white, and his own feet seemed quite rough. He didn't know if he would break the skin.

But since they were soaking in the same basin, it was inevitable that they would touch each other. Xu Wenyan was a casual person, so he didn't hide when they were touched, but played with the water in the basin with his feet.

I looked up and saw Chen Sanlin's slightly red ears and cheeks, and I thought it was caused by soaking his feet.

Both of them slept soundly that night.
