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

It was noon when we returned to the village.

After hurriedly unloading the goods and Xu Wenyan paying the money, Chen Wu continued to rush towards the county.

Just to move these things, Chen Sanlin made three trips back and forth.

"Brother Xu, why did you buy so many things?" Rong Xiaoliu brought his younger brothers and sisters to help move the things home. Why did they buy so many more things when there was already food at home?

"Big things may happen in the future. We need to prepare in advance. We may live in the mountains in the future." There is no need to hide this matter from the children anymore.

Although the children at home don’t understand, they do whatever their uncle asks them to do.

It was already afternoon, and it was unrealistic to go to the mountains at this time. Xu Wenyan went into the house and put all the important things into a cloth bag so that he could run away at any time.

In fact, there was nothing to bring into this small house of dozens of square meters. The only things in the house were some hunting tools and farm tools of Chen Sanlin.

Xu Wenyan’s favorite is the big pot he just bought. It is much more convenient than the wok he had before, so he must take this with him.

"Well, wife... can you bring Xiaohu with you when the time comes?" Chen Sanlin hugged Xu Wenyan's waist from behind and said softly, "He has been playing with me since he was a child. He is my only friend."

"Of course I will. As the eldest brother, how can I ignore the life and death of my younger brother?"

Chen Sanlin smiled, then rubbed Xu Wenyan's ear with his cheek. It turned out that his wife was always the best to him.

Xu Wenyan ignored the jealous person behind him and fiddled with the bottles and jars in the cabinet. These were all left by Wang Deshun. These small jars were hard to get, so they had to be cherished.

"I'm going to find Xiaohu now. You go to my aunt's house to see how the clothes are going." She was still making clothes for her second aunt a few days ago. After all, there were six sets, which were really too many.

"Okay." After receiving the order, Chen Sanlin took action immediately.

When Xu Wenyan went to look for Xiaohu, Xiaohu was not at home. He went downstairs and found Xiaohu weeding in the fields.

His family had little land to begin with, and he could handle the work by himself.

"Brother Xu! Why are you here?" Xiaohu waved at Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan squatted on the edge of the field above Xiaohu's house, looked down at Xiaohu and said, "Huzi, do you believe your brother Xu?"

"certainly!."

"That's fine. Come with us to the mountains tomorrow." Xu Wenyan briefly told Xiaohu about the war.

Xiaohu was a little anxious after hearing this: "This...this...Brother Xu, what should we do? Oh, right!" As if he had thought of something, Xiaohu searched his pockets and took out a total of fifty coins to give to Xu Wenyan: "Brother Xu, I still have six taels of silver at home.

I was planning to save it for marrying a wife. Now that there is war, I will give you my savings. Go buy some things."

Looking at the money in Xiaohu's hand, Xu Wenyan was moved. In his previous life, he didn't have close friends or family who cared about him, but in this life, he seemed to have them all.

"It's not time yet, you keep it for now." Xu Wenyan stood up and raised his chin towards Xiaohu: "You go ahead and do your work, come find me early tomorrow."

"okay."

Looking at Xu Wenyan's leaving back, Xiaohu also smiled. It seemed that his relationship with Brother Sanlin had become better since Brother Xu came. If it weren't for Brother Xu, he might have died in that cold winter.

There must be a reason and logic behind what Brother Xu asked him to do.

Xiaohu trusts this male wife with a bad reputation very much.

As soon as I returned to the yard, I saw Chen Sanlin and Wang Cuijuan in the yard, comparing clothes for several children.

"Wen Yan is back, look." Wang Cuijuan held up the clothes in her hand. It was an ivory-white dress, which was made into a modern short-sleeved style according to Xu Wenyan's modification, but Wang Cuijuan made innovations on this basis.

The neckline is V-shaped, like a combination of modern and ancient clothing, and the pants are navy blue shorts. They are all made the same by the same company, but the patterns on each person are different.

Xu Wenyan picked up the ivory-white dress and compared it with others. It was quite fitting.

"Aunt, your craftsmanship is really amazing." The same was true for the previous hat. As long as Wang Cuijuan could be given a rough structural diagram, she could create an innovative one.

Xu Wenyan estimated that if she were in modern times, she could also be a fashion designer.

Rong Xiaoliu and Chen Dong had already gone into the house and changed into new clothes. Xu Wenyan took a look and thought they were really different: "Okay, go put on your thick clothes. It's still a little chilly in spring."

After putting away his clothes, Xu Wenyan prepared to take his family to dig more wild vegetables. He also thought about telling his second uncle's family and of course the village chief.

Xu Wenyan couldn't save so many people, so he had done his best by taking his second uncle and his wife with him. As for whether the village chief and the others would listen to him or not, that was their business. In any case, let them make plans early.

Led by Xu Wenyan, the family headed down the mountain near the village. Xu Wenyan taught them to recognize the dandelions, shepherd's purse, purslane and plantain they passed by one by one.

Live off the land. Xu Wenyan can already imagine the hard days he will have in the mountains in the future. Since he traveled to this dynasty, he has said goodbye to hamburgers, fried chicken, and cola. It is said that the raw material of cola is coriander, but he doesn't know if it can be replicated.

"Rong Xiaoliu, keep an eye on your younger brother, and Chen Dong, don't put the dirt into the bag." These children at home are relatively easy to take care of, but they are so noisy. I really can't imagine the mental state of those parents who have naughty children.

Xu Wenyan took the children all the way to the foot of the mountain to pick them. He saw the dead leaves of ferns here in autumn, and they should have grown new leaves now.

This place is quite far from the village: "Xiao Liu, take your brothers and sisters here to pick wild vegetables. When the cloth bags are full, go back."

"Okay, Brother Xu."

After giving instructions to the younger ones, the two of them went up the mountain.

Xu Wenyan recalled the route he had taken before in his mind: "I remember there was a large area of ​​dead fern leaves here... Hey! Got it!"

I saw several twenty-centimeter-long green or purple stems in front of me. The new leaves at the top had not yet grown out and were curled up like small fists.

With a light flick from the bottom, the whole fern is picked off.

Chen Sanlin followed Xu Wenyan's example and picked one. After the root was collected, it would secrete transparent mucus, which was not much and not very sticky.

In fact, everyone in the village knows that this thing is edible, but the taste is really bad and sticky. It only tastes better when it is fried with bacon.

But who has the conditions to use bacon to season wild vegetables?

Xu Wenyan knew that they did not handle it properly. Bracken blanched in hot water and made into pickled pepper bracken is a unique dish, but the conditions are not there now.

Others boil it for more than ten minutes and then dry it.

The mucus in the dried bracken is gone and the taste is similar to dried bamboo shoots, but the flavor is different and more delicate.

Moreover, the roots of the fern contain starch. Xu Wenyan has tasted it and found it tastes okay, but it is difficult to cook. A large basket of fern roots can only make a small piece of fern powder.

The deeper you go, the more ferns there are, and it is easier to pick them.

The whole family spent the entire afternoon picking wild vegetables on the slope at the foot of the mountain.
