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

Mrs. Luo didn't want to go through with it anymore.

Even though they stayed at Qing'an Pavilion, Xiaoman and the others couldn't stay in the village for long.

She would just wait for them here.

Since there were really too many people in the store to leave, Xiaoman and the others went back by themselves.

We took the road that leads to Xujia Village. The road is now much wider than when it was first built, as if it had been rebuilt again.

It only took more than half an hour for the two carriages to reach Jixiang Village.

The people in the village looked at the carriage rather unfamiliarly.

Soon several children gathered at the entrance of the village.

"Uncle Man!"

"Xiaodong! Rongrong..." After Zeng Hong saw who was coming, he followed the carriage, jogging all the way.

"Brother Xiaohong!"

Chen Dong also waved to Zeng Hong. Xiaoman stopped the car and took the two siblings in.

"Where's Uncle Xu?"

Xiaoman was very happy to hear that it was another person looking for Xu Wenyan.

At least the people in this village have not forgotten Xu Wenyan's kindness.

After the kids played around for a while, the car drove to the small yard.

The yard door was open and the layout of the house remained unchanged. Soon, a big black dog rushed out of the yard.

The big dog looked at the carriage in confusion and let out a low growl.

"Black bear!"

Chen Dong yelled and got out of the car.

The big dog seemed to recognize Chen Dong. The growl stopped and the big tail behind it began to wag.

Chen Dong hugged the black bear's neck, and the black bear barked.

“I’m back…I’m back.”

A harsh cry came from above her head. Xiaoman looked up and saw two emerald green parrots on the gate of the courtyard, echoing the cry again and again.

"flowery."

Xiaoman stretched out his arms and shouted.

Ruhua and her husband rested steadily on Xiaoman's arm.

After such a long time, these two parrots are still so smart.

"Xiao Man!!!"

There was an excited shout from behind.

As soon as Xiaoman turned around, Xiaohu gave him a bear hug and hung his whole body on him.

"Woo woo woo, Xiaoman, you're back."

Xiaoman smiled and held him in her arms: "Yeah."

Hu Zi sobbed twice and looked around: "Brother Xu, where is Brother Xu?"

"Old Xu hasn't come back yet." Luo Sanyuan, who had tied up the carriage, walked over here and pulled Xiaohu off Xiaoman's body and hugged him.

"Why? What happened to Brother Xu?"

Luo Sanyuan was also a little tired of explaining, so when he met someone he only looked for Xu Wenyan.

"Hey, let's explain it together when you all are here."

Xiaohu wiped his eyes and said, "I'll go call Uncle Jianye and the others."

Watching Xiaohu running down the slope in a hurry, Xiaoman smiled helplessly.

"Let's go inside first."

Everyone walked into the house, but Black Bear was reluctant to go in. He just paced back and forth, looking outside the yard, looking very anxious.

Xiaoman can understand Gouzi’s feelings.

"Xiaodong! Come and give grandpa a hug." Zhou Jianye and Chen Xingjie came running over in a hurry. Zhou Jianye held little Chen Dong in his arms, his face full of joy.

After being happy, he looked at Xiaoman.

"Xiao Man, what happened to Wen Yan?"

Seeing that most people had arrived, Xiaoman began to explain to Zhou Jianye and the others.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Jianye sighed heavily: "Hey, the staff here can't be moved away. Wen Yan still needs our help."

Xiaoman nodded: "Well, the factories here are very important, and what Wen Yan is going to do later will cost a lot of money.

So, Uncle Jianye, you guys can’t go over there for the time being.”

"oh, I understand now."

The next few hours were spent communicating with Xiaoman about the factory's industries, revenue, expenditure and profits. Xiaoman had heard these professional terms so many times from Xu Wenyan that he also knew them.

It's just a different name and a different method of calculation. Xu Wenyan's method is simpler.

The newly planted watermelons here are already on sale, and although they’re not as sweet as the first batch, it doesn’t really have a big impact.

"The other one is from Beijing, the Jiang family, he came with a letter from Xu Wenyan, we didn't quite believe it at first.

But that was indeed Xu Wenyan's handwriting.

Zheng Liwei and his wife went to the capital and taught for half a month before they officially started the business. They had to stay there for a while and wrote a letter back once.

It is said that business in the capital is booming, and Xu Wenyan will be able to receive a commission next month. Even if it is only 40%, it will still be over a thousand taels.

It’s still early days.”

As Zhou Jianye spoke, his face was full of pride.

Chen Sanlin and Xu Wenyan have long been treated as sons by the old couple.

Now it feels like my own son has made it big, and I feel full of pride.

"That's a lot. It's estimated that the amount will be over ten thousand taels next month. The Jiang family is a big merchant family, and they are not the only one in Beijing.

When the tutor in the capital is almost done, Zheng Liwei and his wife may have to go to other counties."

Although the business in other prefectures and counties is not as good as that in the capital, the profits are also unmatched by Fengxian.

"You haven't eaten watermelon yet, Huzi, go get some."

"okay."

Xiaohu got up and went with Yuyin to take out a few watermelons from the cellar. The quality of these watermelons was not very good, so they were all for them to eat.

"Don't throw away the seeds of this melon. Wen Yan said that not a single one can leak out."

Zhou Jianye reminded them that they were very concerned about what Xu Wenyan had told them.

Xiaohu raised his knife and cut the big watermelon in half quickly.

Looking at the bright red flesh of the melon, Xiaoman finally understood why Xu Wenyan said that the melons he had sold before were not good.

This watermelon is quite crispy and its sweetness is far beyond what the watermelons grown in the Gobi Desert can match. No wonder Fengxian County sells it for 40 cents a cup.

Because it is stored in the cellar, it is still a little cool when you take it out, so it tastes more refreshing.

"Most saltpeter is in the store. We don't have much here, so it tastes better when it's chilled."

"Uncle Jianye, this is delicious enough." Luo Sanyuan ate a piece of watermelon in three bites and couldn't stop eating.

Zhou Jianye doesn’t care how much they eat, as long as the children like it.

After saying that, Zhou Jianye got up and walked out. He killed two chickens, a duck and two rabbits for dinner and cooked whatever was available at home for them.

There are also crabs, crayfish, clams and so on, all of which are arranged.

It was a very pleasant day to stay in the village.
